Really glad predictive text exists. Should i bring my own parking lot

OP: This is the first time I've seen the Yellow River's sediment discharge with my own eyes.

There's a Chinese meme that the Yellow River doesn't need rituals to present sacrifices because if it's hungry it'll come onto the shore and eat the sacrifices itself.

#some netizens also say chinese people like unification because only a powerful unified dynasty can survive the yellow river and sometimes #also the chang jiang when they decide to flood and change directions and kill and displace millions #also only large dynasties have the resources to do hydroengineering to try and control the yellow river #yellow river be like: if you don't hydroengineer you die #but if you do you might also die heehee #“we call these our mother rivers not because they are gentle but because we are too scared” tags on above post

People talk about how the Great Lakes are deadly because they are uncaring, but the Yellow River is literally out to get everyone.

brinconvenient

The Great Lakes are uncaring, don't care whether you live or die, ambivalent, pay no attention to you.

The Yellow River cares. Deeply. About you, specifically. And your death. And being the cause of it. It notices you and your intentions. You've been warned. Exercise your hubris accordingly.

I think going too deep into anything should warrant a balrog. You scroll too far down on your phone when you should've gotten up an hour ago, you've spent all afternoon sleuthing to figure out why your mom's former neighbour whom you haven't seen since you were 15 and don't give a fuck about got a divorce, you've been ruminating the same situation over and over and over, and a big fuckass beast thing shows up to stop you because you have delved too deep and now you have to fight the balrog.

learning to notice an absence of people of color is crazy. you start seeing it everywhere. ill see a random pic of characters or people or whatever and be like "these are all white people. why"

queeranarchism

During the time that I did NGO work, one of the most jarring things was going to conferences and watching the rooms get whiter and whiter the more the conference focused on managers, CEO's, politicians and others in leadership positions. Color disappears further up the hierarchy and while we all kinda know that it's weird to see it happen in front of your eyes.

And always there would be:

1 noticable uncomfortable POC who is either there as an intern/assistant to a white person or as the 'diversity manager'.

10 white ladies loudly complaining that there's only 30% women here while leaving the 99.9% whiteness completely unmentioned.

This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.

You can't advocate for restorative justice to tumblr users or they'll call you something like morally catholic or something. Like what are we doing here.

IDK I feel like delineating categories of people that boil down to "irredeemable abusers" who all deserve to be shunned and ostracized on the basis of dubious claims with no chance to be welcomed back into their support network--especially when those in question happen to be the most vulnerable members of already marginalized communities--feels pretty poisoned by christian moral frameworks to me. At least more than the people going "hey let's not do that."

When you're a kid you just take trees for granted. Then when you get to be an adult you realize that a fully mature tree cannot be created in an amount of time that fits in a convenient landscaping timeframe for love nor money nor all the powers of science. Then you realize that people are very very very cavalier about chopping them down
