This post is a gem and you have to reblog it or else you lose it
Someone confirm that these are all different people.
it’s here it’s on my dash!!
seeing ancient tumblr posts in the flesh rather than in screenshots has the same energy as seeing an infamous relic in a museum for the first time
The OG!!!
Official graveyard post
oh my gods it’s truly finally here and I love it

it’s 2028. trump is dead. elon is dead. zuckerberg is dead bezos is dead they’re all dead
Like to charge reblog to cast
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
reblog if attacking fascism is really the hill you want to die on
this is literally like one of the most justified and honorable hills you could die on??? lol??
Quick someone reply with the gif™️
Always reblog this if you are cool
i wanna draw my fursona with a huge gold chain that says "NIGGA" but I think this would kill my Tumblr audience.
"is this ok to reblog"
you have the (reblog) pass
"some reason" :^)
Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima If you can GUARANTEE that nothing even APPROACHING those could EVER happen under ANY circumstances Then I will fold to Nuclear Power
Three Mile Island
NO ONE DIED
Fukushima
NO ONE DIED
Chernobyl
essentially a human-made accident through gross mismanagement and neglect, that physically can't happen with other reactor types (in part because they all have containment buildings now). so yes we can guarantee that nothing even approaching chernobyl will ever happen with modern reactors.
even so chernobyl still killed fewer people than the German Atomausstieg has through increased air pollution because of additional coal being burnt
welcome to team uranium!
Love people using 3 mile island as an example. 3 mile island is an example of where things WORKED, that the failsafes kicked in so only a miniscule amount of radiation was released, which not only didnt kill anyone, but no one was injured, no adverse health effects were caused, and there was no damage to the surrounding environment. Despite the incident, the other reactor continued to run until 2019!
And again: the point isn't "do you prefer renewables or nuclear". The point is "everyone fighting againsy nuclear power has further entrenched coal and oil power and caused a LOT more damage to the environment"
There’s a reason why the simpsons joke is “You turned what could have been a possible Chernobyl, into a mere Three Mile Island.” Like I thought it was common knowledge that Three Mile Island was an example of the built in redundancies and fail safes WORKING.
This is Tumblr. You can say words like "killed" here.
He’s passed on.
This CEO is no more.
He has ceased to be.
He’s expired and gone to meet his maker.
He’s a stiff.
Bereft of life.
He rests in peace.
His metabolic processes are now history.
He’s off the twig.
He’s kicked the bucket.
He’s shuffled off this mortal coil.
Run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible.
THIS IS AN EX-CEO!!
NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED! NO ONE CRIES THEY WONT RETURN
I was playing Sims 2 with a household I dubbed “The Dead People household” consisting of 8 historical figures who died in either unusual or sudden circumstances. Good bad and morally grey.
Long story short, Steve Jobs drowned in his toilet pool and Freddy Mercury brought him back to life as a better person (stat wise) with the fucking necronomicon. He is currently walking around and flirting with Mr. Rogers while talking to John F. Kennedy 😭
stop telling your teenage daughters who say they don't want kids that they'll change their mind
reblog the shit outta this
I haven't been a teenager in over a decade. Mind has yet to change on the subject.
At 14, I told my guidance counselor that I didn't want kids. He chuckled, patted me on the back, and informed me that when I got a little older, and I was with a guy, I would change my mind.
At 16, my grandmother nearly had a heart attack because of her three granddaughters, myself and the youngest agreed we didn't want to uave babies. Ever.
At 17, my father asked about my life plan. I told him: graduate high school, get my college degree, do some traveling and writing, go for this particular job I wanted, retired around X age, take month-long vacations to places I wanted to spend time in, etc. He asked, "What about a husband? Children? Normal things a girl is supposed to think about?" My response- a husband if a man came along that could share an adventure with me, kids were a No Go. He assured me I would 'grow up' qnd change my mind.
At 19, I shocked my former babysitter who had known me since I was a toddler, when I confirmed the rumour she'd heard that I didn't want kids. She patted my mom's arm and reassured her in a sweet voice that, "Don't worry, girls say a lot of silly things before they meet the right fella, and wise up. She'll give you grand babies"
At 22, I was talking to a college professor who chuckled at my making a comment about how, "thank goodness I'm never going to have to worry about juggling child rearing eith marriage, work, and life", then she realized I was serious. She asked if I was alright, thinking I could-not (not didn't-want) kids. I told her the truth, could have but didn't want to. She was aghast, then told me that I'd change my mind when my husband wanted some kids.
Well, I'm over 30, still have absolutely no desire to give birth, adopt, raise, or have much of anything to do with children. I don't hate children, I don't think people who have them are crazy (more power to you, to create and/or care for another person), and I don't think it's impossible to have a life AND have children. I recognized at an early age that I don't have that biological imperative to procreate, I don't have the patience to deal with children (something that has shown very little improvement as I've gotten older, in fact it might be getting worse), and I don't feel my life is incomplete without creating another life- I am good with living my own and doing my best to enrich the lives of those I care about (I try my best to be a good friend, to be a good sister, good daughter, good pet-owner, and a good person in general).
So please, please stop telling girls (or really kids at all, but especially girls) that they will change their minds. Please don't tell them that meeting 'the right guy' will make them suddenly feel broody, that their potential future husband's desire to have children will make her reconsider and see things his way. For one, a couple should have had that conversation and decided if it was a deal breaker, LONG before they got hitched. For another, it's her body that gets to grow and birth another human being- her husband's desire to be a father doesn't supercede her autonomy.
Please, let girls make their own choices? Girls are forced to mature too fast as it is and are bombarded from all sides with SHOULD (you SHOULD be a size 2, you SHOULD wear this dress, you SHOULD have a boyfriend to be a normal teen, you SHOULD always smile), they don't need another judgement from someone who hasn't walked a mile in their particular shoes. Respect teenage girls and their ability to look at the world, themselves, their situation, and their future, and make an important choice.
*gets off soap box, slides it back under the sofa, lets out a sigh*
Thanks for attending my TED talk. G'night.
Also, normalize your children saying they want kids and then changing their mind about it.
I was raised Mormon, so I was told that I wanted kids. Not I said I wanted them, I was told from the time I was eight that I wanted them. For a long time, I believed that I did want them.
Then my sister started having kids.
That was when I realized that, no, actually, I did not want them. I had been told for over twenty years of my life that I wanted kids. I saw my sister go through pregnancy and birth and realized that nope, I loved my niblings, but being a mom wasn't for me.
And that is totally valid!
One of the things I was always told (if my desire for no kids was taken seriously) was "But what if your husband wants children?"
At first I said 'If he wants kids that badly he sure as hell wouldn't be marrying ME' but one day I blurted out 'then he can carry them himself' and my dad choked on his beer.
There is never a good reason to tell a young person (or anyone) "You'll change your mind."
Either they will or they won't. Your saying it won't make it so.
There are cases where someone says "I don't want to have kids" and then, at some later point in their life, decides, "Actually, you know what? Changed my mind. Having a kid around would be nice."
There are cases where someone says "I don't want to have kids" and they go to their grave never wavering in that decision.
There are cases where someone says "I do want to have kids," and then later decides "Actually? No thanks."
And what all these cases have in common is that they're that person's decision, not yours, and your input is not needed.
I've known I didn't want kids since I was six. Several decades later, I haven't changed my mind. At this point, I kiiiiiinda doubt I ever will.
I understand skepticism when somebody says at the age of 6 that they don't want kids. I even understand a certain amount of skepticism when teenagers say it, or people in the early twenties.
What I don't understand is letting that skepticism make you into an asshole. Be silently skeptical all you want, maybe you'll wind up being proven right, but don't fucking make that the other person's problem. Leave it alone.
No person who says that they don't want kids has ever had their mind changed by another person self-righteously proclaiming that they're just being silly and don't actually know how they feel, or by constant needling, or by histrionics over not being "given" grandbabies.
Also, we shouldn't be fucking trying to change people's minds in the first place! Leave people alone!
I knew I didn’t want to have kids by age 15. 42 years later I haven’t changed my mind. My sister said she wanted to have kids as long as I can remember. And so she did. I think we’re both happy with the way things worked out.
I’m moving to Michigan partly so I can be part of my nibblings’ and grandnibblings’ lives, and thrilled to do so. And after an hour or 12 of showing my grandnephew how to make birds out of play dough I’ll go home to my peaceful, relatively unsticky apartment, drink a glass of wine, and read spicy fanfic all evening.
People don’t always know what they want from their lives. But a whole lot of us are clear on whether or not we want to reproduce.
More generally speaking, when you say "You'll change your mind" to anyone, about anything, you make it harder for them to change their minds! Because then they were wrong if they change their mind, rather than just...deciding otherwise.
I agree with all of this. One thing that is missed too by a lot of these parents.
I feel like they don’t understand that not everybody has the kind of tenacity to raise a child. It’s not as simple as just being good, because everyone has good and bad days. It’s about being consistently there, and persistent with the bad times.
things we need to address:
gen z men getting pulled into alt-right pipelines through andrew tate, joe rogan, elon musk, jordan peterson etc
the gullibility and stupidity of half the country voting against our collective best interests
the broad effect social media has on public and common good
lazy minds and lack of empathy
outside-country interference (trump and elon’s connections to russia and the amount of bots from other countries spreading misinformation)
the long-term effects of AI and rampant disinformation
Hi. Things are bleak, I know that. I know that we paid for Trump's last term with blood and it is likely the price will be blood again.
But listen to me. LISTEN.
You do not have to force yourself to witness horrors as an act of activism. It is not a form of activism. You can put your phone down, you can block that horrific video. We cannot win if you cannot fight and you will not be able to fight if you are hopeless.
Do not let them guilt you into this. People who are exhausted are easier to walk over. Take care of yourself, find community where you find joy.
You do not have to force yourself to witness horrors as an act of activism. It is not a form of activism.
^^^ remember this. do not exhaust yourself into hopelessness. take care of yourself and stay strong.
^^^ agreed, there’s a reason the right-wing exclusively uses shock and gore videos as a tactic
