One like nitpick thing that drives me crazy is when people call Blue Whales the largest whales or the largest living mammals or some shit like that

Because yes that is true. But when you frame it like that you are completely disregarding the absolutely batshit reality that Blue Whales are the largest animals that have ever existed on earth through the entire history of the planet and they are alive right now today

proud victim of the tumblr accent. it's fading out of public consciousness as the tik tok accent takes precedence; a linguistic evolution that makes the tumblr accent 85% funnier to unsuspecting civilians. it's like releasing a disease on a non-inoculated population. coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.

Preparing for Eviction / Homelessness

I myself have been homeless. Car camped. I can share a few things that can make that time easier.

This is a good good list that unfortunately a lot of people need right now.

[angel-of-anarchy]

Good tips.  I can vouch for many of these.  Here are a couple more that have worked for me (U.S.-based): - Get on food stamps before you are actually homeless, if you can.  It’s just less complicated that way, but I have also had good luck just being very straightforward with DHS about my situation.  - The article talks about not paying for storage – I really think your mileage may vary on that one. I paid for a cheap storage unit that I split with my sister for a couple years.  If you really do have things of value that you want to keep, I say do it if you can find a cheap unit.  ALSO, I have low-key stayed in my storage unit.  You can’t do it for long, and depending on the place, it can be sketchy, but it can be done. - National parks and Forest Service campsites.  Yeah there is definitely the whole day-use only thing but there are some that aren’t monitored.  They often have bathrooms, and for me, it sometimes felt way safer being away from people. - Hook up with your local Food Not Bombs.  It’s usually really good food and run by folks who are used to working outside the system.  You might be able to make friends and score a place to live or stay. - When I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to afford rent for the foreseeable future, I bought myself a cheap travel trailer.  600 bucks and I’ve lived in it for almost five years now.  Friends are way more likely to let you live indefinitely in their driveway or on their land than endlessly crashing on their couch.  I do work-trade or pay what I can for utilities.  If your car can’t haul it (mine can’t), rent a U-Haul truck for a day to get it where you need it to be.  Obviously this requires some cash, but if you can swing it, it can really save your ass in the long run. - Make a plan for bad weather – heat waves and cold snaps can kill.  Heat is worse for me where I live, so I make sure to have a list of spots I can escape to.  This is where those national parks can sometimes come in handy, but also think about overpasses, city parks with lots of shade, abandoned buildings.  Know where your local cooling/warming shelters are.  Keep some money stashed away if you can to pay for cheap motel rooms during the worst weather.  If you can split the cost of a room with friends, even better. - Have a few strategically stashed canisters of mace or pepper spray.  - But at the same time, look out for each other.  You don’t have to become bosom buddies with everyone else on the street, but treating each other like humans is both good for your mental and emotional health and also you’ll find that people are often really amazingly generous with their resources and knowledge.

Good advice. Storage is also one of those thing that a friend might be able to help you with. Cheap storage options are often damp or not as secure as you’d like. That might be a bad place to put your childhood photo albums, electronics, important paperwork, favorite dress, those expensive shoes you bought once… If a friend is willing to store a few boxes of stuff, at least you know those things are safe and dry.

Nichelle Nichols (December 28, 1932 - )

[rhyfeddu-partyofone-deactivated]

“Uhura never had another name during the series. One of the fan writers wrote “Upenda” - which means “peace” in Swahili, I understand — not officially, but in some of their fan writings. And it sort of took hold. But when they were going to do the official history of Star Trek in a published book, the writer called Gene and asked him was “Uhura” her first name or her last name? Gene said, “Well, Nichelle and I never decided.” We always leaned towards it being her last name because it’s taken from the Swahili “uhuru” which means freedom. So it would sort of be like the same as “Freeman.” So he said, “You can make it her last name.” The writer said, “What about her first name? I’ve come up with one in Swahili. It’s Nyota.” Gene said, “I can’t give you that permission because Nichelle and I named her together, and she has rights to that, so you’ll have to call her and get her permission.” So he gave him my number, and he called me and I laughed and was delighted. He said, “I have a name and it’s Nyota.” I said, “That’s quite beautiful. What does it mean?” He said, “It means ‘star’.” I said, “You can have my permission!” So I have since said that her name is Nyota Upenda Uhura, which would mean a free-floating star: “star of freedom and peace”. I like that.”    — NICHELLE NICHOLS

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist
