Somewhere lost in the clouded annals of history lies a place that few have seen - a mysterious place called the Unknown, where long forgotten stories are revealed to those who travel through the wood.

Degenerative Cubism afflicts 12% of Spanish cattle. If the disease were ever to become airborne, it’s estimated that all beef cattle in the country would be little more than a few lines leaving the impression of cattle within one month.

A realism vaccine was developed in 1994 but has occasional surrealist side effects, turning 2% of cattle injected into two arguing mimes and a waffle.

nature has given us so many perfect little weaselcat things, and we don’t give any of them nearly as much love as they deserve

i have NEVER seen such a long and specific phrase trending

unpopular opinion: we should stop gendering nature. Hell, if it was up to me we’d stop personifying nature in the context of social justice and academic conversations at all.

Throw out the words “mother earth,” no more “nurturing Gaea,” and absolutely throw out the term “we’re raping the earth” (I fucking hate this phrase, I will bite you)

the gendering of nature is frankly weird and unnecessary and continues to associate women with the primitive, pristine, and “uncorrupted” (nature) and men with advancement, industry, and “progress” (science, technology, and society)

outside of this being Bad in a gender-context since moving away from the needless gendering of things is GOOD no matter what, but it also makes responsible nature steward-ship and the green movements seem like a moral prerogative instead of a NECESSARY IMPERITIVE

to say “we need to recycle because we’re hurting mother earth :’(” is such a wimpy appeal to people’s emotions, as if the earth is a person and a mother and it hurts her feelings when we litter or something

we absolutely need to change this stupid ass language because it’s time to start framing this not as a choice or a gallant action we can do by white-knighting our own planet, but as A DIRE SIRENS-SOUNDING, HOUSE-ON-FIRE MOMENT

push for green action and climate change policy not because mother earth gives a shit about us, the planet does not have feelings, we are not it’s children, we just work here; push for political, societal, and structural change because we’re going to fucking die in astronomical numbers if we do not do something

bodies will hit the floor! this isn’t a meditation circle! It’s real, it’s awful, it’s going to hurt! Like, on a practical level, I don’t care why you want to help the planet-not-kill-us, but on a linguistic level I am begging certain leftist groups to start making this sound urgent as fuck on a material level instead of like some sort of spiritual-moral journey that exists on an ethical one.

[bichoso-deactivated20210809]

yup happy birthday trans people

Weird peeve time. Calling lab grown gemstones "fake" is stupid because it's the same shit just not formed naturally. An artificially grown diamond is the same shit as a natural diamond it is the exact same material bro it's all fuckign carbon

[tlirsgender]

It's carbon it's pretty and it didn't involve slave labor what's not to love??? Hi I'm having geology opinions tonight apparently. And I'm right

[tlirsgender]

There is so much bullshit in the diamonds industry to be mad about tbh. It also ties into the bullshit of the wedding industry as a whole but we don't have the time to unpack all that

[val-ritz]

not even going to lie, the day i learned i could get like 15 lab grown rubies the size of dimes for $20 is the day i spent $20 on rubies, and i have never once said to myself "man, i wish this cost $1,600 and the lives of eight children to produce"

[fuckyeahmineralogy]

We are a pro-lab-grown mineral blog here, not only is it massively cheaper but massively more ethical as well in many cases.
