A trip down memory rain ♡

I am super against light pollution, and have been for decades

but I am also super annoyed by the way it's framed as "without light pollution you can see how beautiful the night sky is" way more prominently than it's framed as "hey, did you ever stop to think of how much energy/resources/money are literally wasted by having so much light shine up into the sky?"

so people get the idea that light pollution can only be remedied by eliminating all night-time light, which would make being outside at night very inconvenient, instead of by making night-time light shine only on the ground where, y'know, the people who need it are

The mildest example of what OP's talking about in Dunedin, Aotearoa:

This is just with the streetlamp equivalent of using lampshades. Imagine what truly directional city lights could achieve?

Reblogging this again cause light pollution actually have negative health affects on humans and wildlife. We weren't meant to live in a world constantly bathed in light.

It’s called ‘being able to see the corpse’

So if I put you in an L-shaped swimming pool, and you knew there was a corpse around the corner, you'd be fine?

loving the implication that I'm a little animal and you're a scientist putting me into various bodies of water to test my corpse:water ratio tolerance

ppl will say "demisexual and demiromantic apply to literally everyone why is it a label" and then play smash or pass, see people on the street and comment to their friends how attractive they are, meet someone at a bar and ask them on a date, start talking to someone in the hopes that it will end up sexual/romantic one day

like bro. an actual lack of attraction until a serious connection has formed is not the same thing as wanting to get to know someone before you have sex or date them.

I think it’s important for people to understand that while antisemitism isn’t the same as racism it’s so closely linked that to truly understand the two you need to understand the other. That’s why racist Jews and antisemitic bipoc are just hurting themselves. I’m not the most knowledge on the subjects so I’m absolutely sure others have said it better I just think it’s something important to think about

Why are so many people convinced that babies are trying to manipulate them? They’re babies. They literally don’t know how to do anything except suck and scream and be confused. They’re not “manipulating” you. They’re experiencing extreme back pain.

Did you know that? That babies get back pain? They can grow over an inch in one day. Their bones are stretching and it hurts a lot and they don’t know why. Give them a break.

Also, people get so mad at toddlers for being upset. The toddlers are the ones who have never been angry before and are learning how to deal with it. You’re the adult who has had decades to learn how to deal with your emotions. Do you expect someone to know how to play piano on day one with no training? No? Then why do you expect the same thing with the entirety of how to be a human? You only think that walking is easy because you’ve been doing it for decades.

If you can’t deal with your emotions about what a freaking toddler is doing around you to the point where you feel that you have to beat them or scream at them, maybe you’re the one who needs to go back to preschool so you can be taught how to use your words.
