Giant hermit crab (Petrochirus diogenes)
This specimen is relatively small. P. diogenes is the worldās second-largest hermit crab species, growing large enough to inhabit a full sized queen conch shell and beaten only by the terrestrial coconut crab, which is a hermit crab that stops using shells when it matures.
I can only assume that the the ādiogenesā in its name comes from some parallel drawn between the hermit crabās shell and the philosopherās habit of sleeping in a large jar.

TL;DR: Nestle argued they could not be sued for funding, overseeing, and profiting from a system of child slavery in Africa because the conduct did not occur in the U.S. The Supreme Court ruled in Nestleās favor.
[ID: International. Big Chocolate. Big Chocolate Wins its Child Labor Case In Supreme Court. By Vivienne Walt. June 17, 2021. 1:35 PM EDT. Last October, a report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Labor estimated that about 1.56 million children, some as young as five, worked picking cocoa beans in Ivory Coast and Ghana, which supplies a good portion of the worldās cocoa. Astonishingly, the number of child cocoa workers had increased about 14% since the previous estimates a decade earlier.
In the end, the justices decided companies were not, in fact, legally liable for what happened in Ivory Coastāeven though it appeared to constitute a form of child slavery, which is outlawed internationally. The key weakness, they said, was that the case failed to show that a lot of the business decisions leading to child labor happened on U.S. soil. End ID] Link to article

Please boycott Nestleās chocolate. Also, please remember that Nestle is far from the only United States chocolate corporation who directly perpetuates and profits from child slave labor in the Ivory Coast and Ghana. This ruling defended all of these U.S. corporations engaging directly in this slave economy. Boycott them too.
For the most up to date and thorough lists to guide you in which chocolate to boycott, please check out Food Empowerment Projectās chocolate list (https://foodispower.org/chocolate-list/). They also have this list in app form so you can check easily while youāre at the grocery store whether or not the chocolate youāre considering purchasing was created through the forced labor of enslaved children, and whether the money you might spend on it would go to enslavers and imperialist profiteers.
No treat is good enough to make it worth supporting slavery and child abuse. Every dollar we spend on these companies enables them to inflict more horrors on enslaved populations, largely children.

What a better place than tumblr to talk about your trauma
I want to share with you an exchange that I had with a Messianic āRabbi.āĀ If you are not Jewish, I especially suggest skimming this.
Hi friends,
Rabbi Josh here (he/him) with an installment of āletās learn why Messianic āJudaismā is problematic and dangerous.āĀ
Last week, I contacted an organization that calls themselves the āJewish Voice Ministriesā - an Evangelical Christian, far-right group cosplaying as Jews with the goal of using humanitarian work to convert as many Jews as possible to their ministry.Ā Ā You can learn more about their āwhite savioristā message that they use as a cover for their three major goals - which conflict with each other; the first two being the goal to convert Jews, while the third being to support Jews and the State of Israel.Ā (Hot take- one cannot simultaneously want to eradicate Jews and Judaism; while also supporting Jews and the State of Israel.)
Iāve included both screen shots of the respones and my own commentary below.

I find it really interesting (and it is something that we can see regularly) how you write about antisemitism and he answered with Israel. That he doesnāt aknowledge the antisemitism of his church wasnāt a big surprise but I feel like he doesnāt even aknowledge that thereās antisemitism at all.
He also say that they are not a church but he doesnāt say what they are.
I also find it really saying, that he end his email with how people say that the jews commited a deicide. It gaves me the feeling that he was actually thinking

Tumblr burned down years ago, and now a tranquil meadow has grown from its ruins
Tumblr is that barren pasture in Costa Rica that was purposely filled with 12,000 metric tons of orange peels by conservation researchers. Initially, the orange peels decomposed into āsludgy stuff filled with fly larvae.ā This led to accusations that the juice company providing the peels were ādefiling the land,ā and thus, the site was ultimately abandoned. But when researchers went back about 15 years later, they discovered āthe arid landscape had been unrecognisably transformed into a dense, vine-filled jungle... as for how the orange peels were able to regenerate the site so effectively in just 16 years of isolation, nobody's entirely sure.ā
And that, my friends, is Tumblr.

I saw this and remembered that I had this thread saved in a folder and figured this would be a good time to bring it out
READ THE WHOLE THING. I cannot garuntee that you will be pleased, but I can guarantee that it is one HELL of a rollercoaster.
Ready, aim, fire!
I TOLD YOU. I TOLD YOU THEY DID THIS AND YOU DIDNāT BELIEVE ME. YOU DIDNāT BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAID THEY DO THIS. WHOāS LAUGHING NOW.

Honestly as a blind person Iām so tired of seeing fictional blind characters who donāt use white canes or other guides. āThey have special powers so they know whatās around themā or ātheyāre confident enough to not need a guideā are common tropes, and Iām tired.
Are people scared that using a white cane will make their blind character seem weak? They canāt use a cane because theyāre so special that they already know whatās around them, and other blind people who use guides are inferior because theyāre not special?
Iām tired. Give your blind characters white canes and other guides. Let them hold onto their friends, let them have guide dogs. Donāt make white cane users feel ostracized for not being āstrong enoughā to go without.
Another thing that pisses me off is when a sighted character comes up with the fantasy equivalent of braille and teaches it to the blind character. Braille was invented by Louis Braille, a blind man, in 1824. The blind character should be the one coming up with it.
Tldr Iām blind and tired of sighted people lol
šŖ Sighted People MUST Reblog This šŖ
Hiiiiii Iām OP.
I deleted this post bc I was overwhelmed with all the notes on it and the additions of sighted people saying āis this character good representation though? Have you read so-and-so with this blind character in it, is that okay? LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY BLIND OC, ARE THEY OFFENSIVE?ā Or saying āwell my relative/friend is blind and actually they blah blah blahā as if Iām the authority on blindness now.
And I Was Tired Of That.
I also received MASSIVE amounts of ableism directed at me in my inbox and DMs and the notes of this post (look at all the āyouāre blind and sick of seeing? lolā comments, as well as people acting like the knife emojis can hurt them somehow, yes I get it everyoneās a comedian haha). People saw that I was an artist and a writer and hounded me with questions about how I can draw if I canāt see, or how Iām even using the Internet at all as if people are exempt from being part of modern life, someone said āstop taking pictures of your guide dogās art and posting it as your ownā about my art. I had the fact that Iām deafblind written in my bio but I took it out bc I was getting harassed bc of it.
Sometimes I check back on this just to see how popular itās gotten and I honestly never intended it to reach this far. I still encourage people to reblog it but I could definitely do without all the unnecessary additions, and people coming up to me with questions about how I wrote this in the first place if Iām blind and yadda yadda yadda.
To Answer Your Questions: Daredevil (Matt Murdock) is excellent blind representation. His abilities have clear limits and they do not REPLACE sight. He uses echolocation and other enhanced senses but he still has the challenges faced by blind people because He Is Blind. Same goes for Toph Bei Fong; clear limits to what she can sense, she canāt use her seismic sense on non-earth/non-metal material, she canāt read or write or know what things look like. She just feels the vibrations. I donāt care about homestuck so stop telling me abt it lol. If you write a blind character with powers, absolutely take a page from Daredevil or ATLAā but give them a cane too please! Matt himself uses a cane! Itās not mutually exclusive to have powers and use mobility aids.
TLDR I deleted this originally bc I was sick of dumbasses and ableism but you can still reblog it but keep your comments to yourself or those knife emojis will be a lot more aggressive. Iām tired.
Also consider sending me financial compensation for the ableist harassment and braindead comments ive gotten these past few months, hereās my ko-fi ā¤ļø
If yāall are gonna keep spreading this then reblog THIS version.
Sighted people shut the fuck up in the notes challenge. Stop asking me questions and making your own additions. Reblog the damn post without commentary because I promise you I do not give a shit about your opinions.
