In that order really too…

Can’t stress enough that when we say “The LGBT community lost an entire generation to AIDS” this isn’t an abstract statement. We literally lost gay and trans Boomers **specifically**. They were the generation that was of “clubbing age” during the onset of the epidemic.

sometimes it feels like people will be like please be aware of mental health!

wait but dont look too far into how psychosis is stereotyped in media!! we need that!!! D:

or people conveniently overlook very tired old jokes and tropes because theyre lol so funny amirite

btw this is specifically about psychosis and other ‘too ugly’ mental illnesses do not derail it or i will get you

Why is it that Brits monopolize all the mockery for shitty cooking when Americans are doing shit like this

yankee imperialism is eternal

>when Americans are doing shit like this >yankee imperialism

>Chefclub is a French group >the Lay’s bags are literally in French

this is by far the funniest addition to this post and all the other ones can go home

people talk about found family but then they see these characters and they’re obsessed with fitting them into nuclear family roles??? there doesn’t HAVE to be a “mother” and a “father” and they don’t all have to be “siblings” IT’S A FOUND FAMILY IT’S A MULTIFACETED RELATIONSHIP

this actually really annoys me, it’s wild how people are incapable of thinking about how people who stitch together their own family supposedly would never stitch it together in a pattern that doesn’t fit society’s exactly

This trend frustrates me to no end! Like, I have found family in real life, and we don’t fit into nuclear family roles at all. We call each other family, but that doesn’t mean there are parents, or brothers or sisters. Families, especially found families, do not have to fit the nuclear family roles of society.

you should really re-think your allyship to trans women if you’re not willing to do something as simple as using the term TERF correctly and continue to hurl it at everyone who disagrees with your brand of discourse that’s not even related to trans women or radical feminism

TERF specifically means trans exclusionary radical feminist and is in use along with TWERF - trans woman exclusionary feminist - which was coined to point out that it’s trans women specifically that terfs target

and you know what TERFs love? “terf means lesbian” and other tactics to make themselves seen as a harmless and unjustly accused majority. terfs love that the term “terf” itself has become so watered down that yall not only use it out of context, but straight up refuse to use it right and call people terfs left and right

stop making it easier for them. stop proving them right.

Weird peeve time. Calling lab grown gemstones "fake" is stupid because it's the same shit just not formed naturally. An artificially grown diamond is the same shit as a natural diamond it is the exact same material bro it's all fuckign carbon

It's carbon it's pretty and it didn't involve slave labor what's not to love??? Hi I'm having geology opinions tonight apparently. And I'm right

There is so much bullshit in the diamonds industry to be mad about tbh. It also ties into the bullshit of the wedding industry as a whole but we don't have the time to unpack all that

not even going to lie, the day i learned i could get like 15 lab grown rubies the size of dimes for $20 is the day i spent $20 on rubies, and i have never once said to myself "man, i wish this cost $1,600 and the lives of eight children to produce"

We are a pro-lab-grown mineral blog here, not only is it massively cheaper but massively more ethical as well in many cases.

Here’s one good thing to come out of 2020:

Paleontologists completed a life-sized replica of Sue, the most complete T. Rex ever found.

And she is freaking GORGEOUS!

As I read more about this beauty, I found out some new details regarding things I thought I previously knew about the beast that was Tyrannosaurus Rex, and I’m going to share them with you.

First, and most obvious, her size:

This is nothing new, we all figured T. Rex was big, but I for one never stopped to consider exactly how big it was. Nobody ever really knows what to imagine when they read about something the size of a whale that walked around and ate everything it could kill. 

Speaking of eating things, I just want to remind you all that T. Rex had–by miles–the strongest bite of any terrestrial animal living or dead, somewhere around six and a half tons of force. That’s over six times greater than the current estimate of what Allosaurus was capable of, and three times what was delivered by the highest measured reading of the living title holder–the estuarine crocodile. It didn’t have to waste time swinging its head open-mouthed like Saurophaganax for a little extra oomph, or grow fancy serrated teeth like Carcharodontosaurus to cut pieces out of its prey. It opted for the simplest approach: get its mouth around something and crush it to death; imagine the full weight of an elephant on whatever was between this thing’s jaws.

“How did it find something to eat?” I hear you asking. “It can’t see something if it doesn’t move, right?”

Listen, I love Jurassic Park too, but that’s a big crock of shit.

Notice how both her eyes face forward. That gives her binocular vision (the ability to focus both eyes on one target, like you and I). More importantly it means she has impeccable depth perception due to overlapping fields of vision from each, large, eyeball. Researchers agree that T. Rex not only had incredible vision, but that it was probably better than most modern animals–including eagles, hawks, and owls–and that she could likely spot something three and a half miles away. If something that big can see that well, it doesn’t matter if you move or not, she’d be able to tell if it was an animal trying to hide or a piece of vegetation. So pray she isn’t hungry if she lays eyes on you. And even if by some miracle she didn’t see you, she’d still smell you. 

If she decided you looked tasty, you probably wouldn’t hear her coming as much as you’d feel her. Modern science indicates that T. Rex didn’t roar like in Jurassic Park, but rather bellowed or maybe even hissed like crocodilians. If she were on to you, you’d most likely feel this sense of unease creep up your spine as a low-pitched rumble in the air permeated through you. You wouldn’t know what it was or where it was coming from until you hear her footfalls. By then it’s too late–you could try to run but she’d probably catch you. There’s plenty on YouTube that reconstructs what T. Rex may have sounded like, and it’s legitimately haunting.  

To wrap all of this up, the one bit of good that came out of the cursed year that is 2020 is that this wonderful child of science and art came into the world, and reaffirmed my respect and admiration for the eight ton slab of muscle and teeth that is this magnificent creature.

…and it is nothing if not magnificent.

it’s fun to eat your own tail! it’s fun to watch it writhe like prey, like an animal separate from you! it’s fun to sign the time on your own death certificate, a few too many minutes from now, like a promise, like a peace offering to the future! it’s fun to lay your body down on an altar created in your honor! your hands tremble at the handle of the knife in anticipation, like a puppy in a new environment! your heart rushes at the thrill of new experiences, novel in unfamiliarity, unique in finality! even now, your blood trickles down into the hands of your worshippers! will they be filled? will you find peace? are you relieved? will you be born again? will you still be holy? when you’re gone, will all your elysian promises be kept? can you grab me a cup im  thirsty and i dont know where you keep your cups

Tell me, Will,

i dont watch tv i just go out into the desert sometimes

no

From the mouth of a One Percenter -

Abigail Disney

!!!!!!!!!!!

“Yes, there is a superyachtinvestor.com. Go look at it and it will make you so angry, you could chew glass.”

we stan class traitors on this blog

Abigail Disney has no control or input on the operations of the corporation, she is a Disney heiress and, in that respect, nothing else. She puts her money towards philanthropy, especially women’s movements around the globe and peace organizations like Peace is Loud and the Global Fund for Women. She is a documentary filmmaker who explores these themes as well.

There are problematic family investments she earns money from that, legally, she cannot divest from. Instead, she donates these profits to charities that counter to those investments.

Reblogging this version because I needed to read this after watching the video

She’s still saying this shit here in 2019 😍

“I have literally sat in a room with the people [at Disney] who pour your soda, and the people who clean your room and scrape gum off the sidewalks, who have told me, “I have to ration my insulin.” I have sat with them, and I have felt a kind of rage that I don’t even know how to describe to you.”

GO OFF GO OFF GO OFF

im on tumblr mobile. i scroll down the tumblr dash. i accidentally hit the create post button. i back out of the menu. im at the top of the dash again. i scroll past the posts ive seen and then hit new ones. i reblog one with a tag. im at the top of the dash again.

my name is sisyphus and my boulder is this fucking shitass app

allow me to slip into something a little more… comfortable *is enveloped in fog and disappears never to be seen or heard from again*

How many times we gotta tell yall it's {noun} of color not POC {noun}

Yes this is ok for white people to rb

Anyways unlearning incorrect terminology is not easy but it’s not an excuse not to try or to tell poc it’s not that deep if you’re an ally.

So like

Doctor of color

Not

Person of color doctor

Genuinely asking cause my reading comprehension is shit

Yes!

For example, if you have a woman of color who is also an actress, you’d call her an actress of color, not a WOC actress or a POC actress!

Azealia Banks is being openly transphobic and no one has been speaking about it except for a few trans people who I follow

People have been trying to explain to her in the comments but she just continues to spew TERF ideology.

reblogging this to say two things

first, this isnt “transphobia” this is specifically transmisogyny. none of what she is saying here can be applied to trans people in general, it’s explicitly targeting trans women

and second, this right here is part of why i always point out that trans women is two words. transmisogynists will view trans women as being our own “othered” gender of “transwomen” and tme ppl will give them a pass on it and thats fucked. yes ppl often say it as one word bc they’re ignorant that its not, or maybe accidentally, but still—call it out, correct them. explain that trans women are women, and trans is an adjective

This is extremely transmisogynistic but let's not ignore the antisemitism, either? This thread is from a photo she posted on Instagram of an engagement ring her Jewish fiancé gave her, which is an heirloom ring with a hanukiah on it. In the photo, she says this makes her Jewish now. The comment is refering to her claim that she is now Jewish. She believes being engaged to a Jewish man now makes her Jewish, which is not how that works and is wildly antisemitic. She just chose to go on a transmisogynistic tirade while defending herself, for whatever reason, but this is very much about antisemitism as well.

she’s gone on antisemitic tirades about how jews run the world, which is why her....overnight conversion via acquiring a ring feels particularly insulting lol (x)

and i remember her posting in december 2020 that she “can’t stand you they/them sons of b****es. Pronouns are f***ing r*****ed.” also, this in october 2020:

(x)

also said this about zayn malik in 2016? (x) and im not even going to post the racial slurs she was calling him that were so bad that zayn literally tweeted at her to stop

she’s Been like this for years and if you tried to make a list of all the shit she’s said it’d be a mile long lol.
