I love telling people the word bed looks like a bed. Like heh. bed <- thats a bed people.

it doesn't matter which country we're talking about here, if someone from any country in the world says "oh where i am from there is simply no racism", you not only shouldn't believe them, but you should actually never take them seriously about anything ever again.

A trans ban came to rugby. Baltimore’s Ferals played on.

In February, USA Rugby banned transgender women from competing with other women at all levels. Something interesting happened: Many teams re

Apparently American rugby teams just refused to segregate their trans athletes. I wonder what everyone else's excuse is.

#literally what people should just be doing#the good law project offered to back up the WI when the TERFs sniffed in their direction#but the WI just folded#having spoken to WI members a lot of them are actually really angry#a lot have left and a lot of chapters have closed#a lot are staying and are doing advocacy around the good law project and trying to get this BS overturned

WI = Women's Institute, I assume

I don't think this is an appropriate response to an article about South Asian farmers losing their teeth because temperatures are now reaching 45 Celcius.

The average Tumblr blogger has such poor manners that even a pig would be embarrassed to bring them home to its mother.

When the Heat Steals Your Smile

After I suspected a climate connection to tooth decay, I conducted systematic saliva pH testing across my patient population and documented

okay so i think i found the article op's (and me in my tags) talking about. being exposed to over 40 celsius (120 farenheit or so) for the whole day means youre sweating a LOT (the article says rashid- the farmer at the centre of the text- drinks around 17 liters a Day. humans usually only need 3, so i presume the rest is mostly used for sweat). so much so that the organizm reroutes water from other parts of itself to not die of heatstroke - salivary glands included, which means that 1. they have very little saliva in comparison to a healthy human being 2. what little their bodies DO produce is incredibly acidic, falling to ~5.5 ph from the ideal of 7ph. Teeth dissolve. Quickly. There's a mention of someone losing 8 teeth in two years

im not reading the whole article now (headache -_-), but later on the author of the article says about 30 million people (employed in agriculture) are at risk for extreme dental health problems. 30 million people at risk of not being able to eat solid food. 30 million people at risk of not being able to find work. being able to marry. being able to be part of their community. being able to speak clearly

this is. fucking horrible feels like an understatement, but it is the best i have. this exceptionally, terribly inhumane, and the pakistan goverment's lack of a plan to adress this is embarassing

I'm not reading whatever Americans and Europeans say in good faith because you people are dipshits who constantly think people in the Global South as lesser everyday

Shut the fuck up with you "let's all be niceys" fuck you in particular

[nyantara]

what are we grieving and upset about in particular? everyone in a climate lit class knows climate change is real, the point of climate literature is to turn that into art that will get read by other people. truthfully from that perspective it does in fact "fuck severely" to find an article about something visceral and visually cool happening when all you want to have is a cool dystopian premise and get the best grades :)

this kind of voyeurism is not autistic-coded or whatever, its the premise on which much of the art world functions re: other people's lives and the instrumentalising of it. there's awful genocide literature about the holocaust. this attitude just gets magnified and is more common when racism is there to dehumanize the subjects.

btw real life example of you call a bitch racist and suddenly they're autistic accusations.

I feel a perpetual deep-seated alienation from most people in academia because everyone behaves like cops and hall monitors, and then I log onto tumblr to see the exact people who do the alienating posting about how emotionally difficult it is for them to report students for (possibly) using AI to write an assignment

people say harebrained is an insult but. ! have you considered the hare is actually doing a reallu really good job atbeing your brain ?

[ace-trainer-alice]

there's a really fun balance when you know someone has a crush on you where you can tease them for having a crush on you without letting them know you know they have a crush on you. this only works because people who have crushes will analyze everything you say but not very well. anyway, i love playing with my food.

Gosh, that's so perfect. Your friend is actually the only one who is engaging with this post correctly. Supersedes my original intent, even. Sorry, I bow to her wisdom here. Tell your friend I hope she's having fun!

a thing about me is i basically never notice a wig or other kind of hairpiece in tv/movies. it has to be party city territory for me to even twig it. people will complain about characters' wigs looking bad and i will nod along but there is like a 90% chance i did not notice for a second while watching. i consider this mostly a blessing.

theres a trump supporter in my media arts major and sometimes my professor will ask him something simple like "whats the difference between ethics and the law" and he'll (i kid you not) say shit like "uhhh its like. honestly i thought that was like the same thing" and then my professor will give the rest of the class a mischievous knowing look

look, i work at a morgue, i get to see every day how withered and small bodies can get when someone was sick. it’s awful. do you know how bone-thin a leg can get. or how a stomach really looks beneath the ribs when it’s wasted away. the way people’s eyes and cheeks press in to their skull like they’re clinging on for dear life. they died like that, and you want to try and sell me a lie, a pill, a miracle cure that’ll make me live in that state? that’ll make my friends look like that, my family, the people i love? to see corpses in them?

this job makes me appreciate all the more bodies lived in and well-loved. please eat that second serving. please give yourself treats as much as you want. life is not long enough to suffer through it. you’ll be plenty skinny when you’re dead.

we are witnessing the gentrification of the term "tumblr sexyman" in real time and it is extremely disappointing. like no, live-action white boy #265 played by ryan gosling isn't a tumblr sexyman. i can't believe i have to say this but if it wouldn't get you shoved into a locker it probably isn't a sexyman

challenging all white women to put in even half the effort they spend on fearmongering to other white women about parking lot abductions to instead support MMIWG initiatives if they want to actually make a difference in protecting women
