the amount of lawsuits these exploited children are going to be filing 20 years from now is going to be crazy and im all for it
Oy!
Do me a favor! Anyone can do this.
In the US there are some national historical sites going to be shrunk down and used for gas/oil production. Look on the site: https://www.blm.gov/programs/energy-and-minerals/oil-and-gas/leasing
Click any state, look up the region, and find out what is there. Make a comment! You can leave as many as you want and can add information (files) into your submission. Word limit is 5,000.
I did it with the Chaco Canyon, telling them to not shrink a historical site for greed. Please help! We need to protect these lands for future generations and for indigenous people!
Chaco Canyon is a 1,000-year-old archaeological complex whose importance I don’t even know how to express with enough intensity to convey what it means to pre-colonial American history. It’s a region of palatial Great Houses that were occupied by elite ruling families a thousand years ago who brought huge swaths of the surrounding area into their religious-political sphere of influence. And then it may have been ultimately rejected in the 1100s by the people living in it who found the whole Chaco power system to be overstepping and coercive. There’s a lot we have to learn from Chaco and its outlying sites about power and political organization, and a lot we still don’t wholly understand. And Trump wants to strip protections from hundreds of thousands of acres of archaeological sites, Native American cultural landscapes, and wildlife habitats to open them to oil and gas drilling.
If you are in the US, please leave a comment opposing this:
The Bureau of Land Management National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Register allows you to review and comment on plans and project docum
Yall know if you care enough about these sites, when any comments are inevitably ignored because even the pretense of “playing by the rules” is gone, you can still show up to protect them, right?
Even in ways that enforce them not being harmed/developed beyond “if I stand here with a sign surely they’ll stop :)” because that’s the level it’s playing at.
Will you simply accept the destruction of even more history, or will you continue to say “i can’t do anything else” and ignore them like you ignore the wave of Black folks being lynched right now and Black/brown folks kidnapped, tortured, and killed by ICE?
What will it take for you to stop letting things happen when they show us openly over and over again that no “polite” method works if you actually want to save what’s left to save?
"This person has a secret onlyfans!" "This artist does NSFW commissions!" "This author writes porn on the side!" I cannot begin to tell you how swag and awesome that is.
We Are the Daughters of the Microbes Who Could Survive in an Oxygen-rich Atmosphere
dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.
no getting up. no looking at the flag.
everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.
It's your Constitutional right to sit for the pledge. If the school punishes you, lawyer up.
I thought about just tagging this 'nuff said, but it's not.
I want to say something to all of the women under 50 on this site. Ready? You do not have to be over 50 to start taking up space.
Can I make that blink? Is that a thing Tumblr can do? Because, seriously. The sooner you believe you are allowed to take up space, the better life will be.
Something something the visceral horror GLaDOS must feel after watching Chell for so long, only for her test subject to literally go off the rails and disappear inside of her.
It's such a fantastic reversal of power! In an instant, it changes the genre from Chell's psychological nightmare into Glados's body horror.
This whole time Glados has been creating a psychosexual connection to her lab rat, and now that rat worms its way through her body in a way she can't track.
There's almost an intimacy about the rooms Chell solves being specifically tailored for her to see. They're a dishonest facade, until Chell escapes from the predetermined path and sees what Glados truly is/looks like, and ventures all the way to the heart of her, stripping her bare.
"What if you were a massive mechanical complex and I skittered through your insides and climbed into the heart of your most private and vital organs? And we were both women?"
This too, is Yuri
on the one hand there are many aspects of academia that should be criticized but on the other hand i’m concerned about the rise of anti-intellectualism as a tool of fascism
Hey yo what the fuck does this say in English? Because if you can’t explain in layman’s terms you’re not doing a good job of getting your point across to everyone.
hey man i think you might just be dumb
certified iconic post
There's so much more day int he day if you get up before noon. Mysterious and surprising.
Everyone reblog this. Mandatory.
America has a weird relationship with cults where they’re terrified of small cults (or organizations they think are cults) but completely normalized massive cults that hurt many more people (eg: LDS Church, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Amish, Scientology, most Megachurches)
To anybody asking if the Amish are a cult, the answer is yes, very much so.
They’re a high control group that isolate you from society. The cult decides how you dress, how you behave, who you marry and how. They control what you know, blocking all information from the outside world. They control how you feel and what you’re allowed to think with threats of both social and supernatural harm. They’re a cult.
The best method to determine if a group is a cult, in my opinion, is Steven Hassan’s (cult expert and former cult member himself) BITE model.
BITE stands for Behavior Control, Information Control, Thought Control, and Emotional Control.
The more points a group “scores” on the model, the more of a cult it is.
I think this model is the best one for several reasons:
It’s more nuanced than “cult” or “not cult” and doesn’t make false equivalences between groups
It’s versatile, applying to groups big and small, and cults of all kinds, religious, political, financial, etc.
It focuses on what’s important, which is what the cult does to its members, and those members’ experiences, and not on irrelevant details like how uncommon their doctrines are or whether they have a charismatic leader
This is a great example of Thought Control used by cults whenever they’re confronted with criticism.
#you might notice that there are a lot of similarities between cult techniques and those of abusive partners#and that is an important thing to be aware of
yah that goes in the post
The creator of the BITE Model considers abusive relationships to be two-person cults.
It’s important to note that almost every sect of evangelical christianity in the US today fails the BITE Model.
This was the post that lead to breaking my JW mindset. Been a while since I seen it.
I’m glad I could help in your deconstruction, if only a little bit. I wish you all the luck in your journey moving forward.
And to highlight a key aspect of the “two-person cult” dynamic:
Not all high-control groups are religious. Secular cults exist.
I’d strongly recommend reading this brief bio of Janja Lalich. She’s a deprogramming therapist, but she’s also a cult survivor from a political cult.
high control groups can also form in friend groups and online! any social group can theoretically be a high control enviroment that’s abusive. any group can be a cult if someone uses that group to control and abuse others.
Ok so lemme get this straight the boys get advertised their body weight in protein powder and girls are told to get by on uncooked foliage and I’m supposed to believe that the observed differences in gender are strictly because of sex chromosomes with no cultural influence at all uh huh sure hey buddy what kind of idiot
Movement nudge, hand mobility! 🙌

1) do this even if you're under 40. seriously. I definitely should have been doing something like this for years and I only turned 40 a month and a half ago
2) if you're like me just now trying this going "oh god i've only done 15 and i think my hands are cramping" start lower than 30 and increase by 5 once whatever number you're doing no longer makes your hand cramp up. I can manage about 15 per exercise at the moment.
who wants to see my favorite statue
yes you do. it's a bulgarian statue called "the dragons in love" and it's a statue of 2 dragons and they're in love
love wins
The world will always need more happy women who love being women in it than it will miserable men who hate being men.
It will always need more happy men who love being men in it than it will miserable women who hate being women.
It will always need more happy nonbinary people who love life outside the binary in it than it will ever need miserable men and women who hate being binary.
Do not live half a life for the comfort of transphobes and exorsexists. Don't die wondering, and don't let them bury you a stranger. Even if you're wrong, you'll still know your own heart better after exploring more of its corners.
Louder for the people in the back!!
