“animals should be treated well before they’re eaten but eating them isn’t wrong” really isn’t a hard belief to understand

[unspuncreature]

and when I say “pick two” I mean that your brain and/or body picks two for you at random at the start of each day

I haven't been on here much in a long time mostly because whenever I logged on my dash was so much stuff I'm not really into anymore so I went through and cleaned out the blogs I follow which I haven't done in the like 13 years I've had this blog so hopefully that helps 😂

If you don't know why you're tired, that's ok. You need the rest regardless of the reason. Let yourself rest. You don't need an excuse.

The moment I realized I was all in on Pattinson Batman for another two films wasn’t when he was being actually a pretty good detective or a fun brooding weirdo, but when he just ate shit after trying out his wingsuit and walked away like nothing happened

Imho the idea of ‘cruelty free’ products or food shouldn’t mean that nothing died to create it, but rather that anything and anyone involved in the creation process hasn’t been exploited or harmed.

Leather is good actually. Veganism isn’t the end all be all to morality and consumption. The issue isn’t that a chicken died for those nuggets, but that while the chicken was alive, it’s life fucking sucked. Vegan chocolate means little if the cocoa that made it was gathered by child slave labor.

Factory farms, abuses of the people who pick the fruit and vegetables we eat, the focus profit and productivity over all else - that’s the fucking issue here. It’s capitalism folks.

body parts that need regular moisturising are literally so fucking stupid like. my brother in christ we’re 60% water

when hayao miyazaki said that true love was two people inspiring each other to live…recognizing just how hard living is, putting one foot in front of the other every day, how easy it is to lose our passion for it…… that’s the real shit

Look, I use a wheelchair and so abled people have this thing of like

Wheelchair > cannot walk* > The Most Disabled > absolute priority

But actually, I am sitting down. Please prioritise the people walking with aids (cane, crutches, rollator) because they are not sitting down. When I'm walking, I actually need to be able to go sit down on short notice whereas when I'm in a chair, I am in fact already sitting down (see fig 1).

(fig one, a white on blue disability symbol consisting of a heavily stylised wheelchair user who is, in fact, sitting down because that is how wheelchairs work.)

Like I appreciate going to the head of the queue but actually queueing is significantly easier for me than it is for someone who has to stand to do it. This is, IMO, one way to illustrate that seeing privilege/marginalisation as a set of stairs doesn't work (also I mean how rude to see it as a set of stairs, this is a post about mobility aids you insensitive prick).

* Most wheelchair users can in fact walk at least a little bit, in fact

I remember Brennan saying “laws are just structured threats made by the ruling socioeconomic class” during an episode of D20 and we truly just had to stan immediately

[ichigo-kuriimu]

the japanese “-ne?” particle and the british slang term “innit” serve the same function

[ichigo-kuriimu]

Standard English: It’s cold, isn’t it?

Japanese: Samui desu ne?

British: It’s fuckin’ freezin’, innit?

[ichigo-kuriimu]

i have to do everything around here

[notahorseindisguise]

i hate this cause i did japanese for like a year and this explains the use of the -ne particle WAYYYY better than my teachers ever did. it took me ages to comprehend what this post makes abundantly clear.

my teachers: its like a, a little rise at the end of a sentence, to show that you are seeking a response, while not warranting the -ka particle which would make it a proper question.

me: ok. i guess i get that??

this post: its like saying “innit?” 

me: oh. oh no.

[wind-on-the-panes-deactivated20]

fun fact: afaik, "-ne" was inherited from the Portuguese settlers/priests that stayed in Japan in the 16th century. It comes from "né?", which the contraction of "não é?", "isn't it?".

It's LITERALLY "innit".

choosing to believe every single story robert pattinson tells about himself in interviews no matter what he says to contradict himself. the only time hes lying is when he says he's lying

[clowniconography]

two robert pattinsons stand before you. one always lies and the other always tells the truth. theyre not guarding a door or anything though they're just hanging out

[chooseselflove-againandagain]

our brains are seriously gullible. you will really believe whatever you hear yourself say over and over. please, stop, even in “good spirits” or being funny, please stop all of the self deprication. i won’t even type out examples, but whatever you say about yourself, you should know it isn’t true or helpful to keep reinforcing.

instead, look in the mirror and tell yourself positive things. “i am doing my best. i am worthy of love and support. i am a good person. i am beautiful. i am fun to be around.” whatever you need to hear. OUT LOUD. every day. you will start to believe it, just like you have started to believe all the mean things you tell yourself. you can’t always choose what others say about you, but you can definitely choose what you say and who you spend time listening to.
