Problematic Ship Tournament: Round 2, Match 4

SS Mont-Blanc: The Mont-Blanc caused the deadly Halifax Explosion of 1917, colliding with the SS Imo and detonating 20 minutes later with 2.9 kilotons of force. Much of the city of Halifax was leveled by the blast and over 1700 people were killed. The explosion is still one of the largest non-nuclear man-made explosions in history.

Exxon Valdez: An oil tanker that ran aground in Prince William Sound in 1989, causing a massive oil spill and devastating the local environment. The area is still recovering today.

Clean the mold out of your reusable water bottle including the cap and straw

Mold poisoning will kill you and has a high chance of causing severe hallucinations and nightmares while it's doing it. My final message goodbye

Oh, hey, yea that's a good reminder! Wait a second tho

A year or so ago I saw someone who studies bacteria on food surfaces talking about how she never ever uses a water bottle for longer than 2 days without washing it with hot water and soap or running it through the dishwasher and I've become really adamant about it ever since. Everyone has enough water bottles to keep them cycling through the dishwasher and in use.

Also please don't die.

my lovely sweet beast. Why did you do that?

poor beast with square egg (squegg)

I think cis allies should start beating the shit out of anyone trotting out the trans = groomer line

No this is not a joke or hyperbole. They are trying to get people killed. Beat them up. Scare them. Make them fucking bleed. Teach them a lesson.

The facists have found this post and are upset lmao

Anyway hope you get your teeth smashed in 😘

I saw a video a while back where some nazi was clearly antagonizing outside of a drag show and one of the people responded "Do something then." And the nazi (already cowering back mind you) asked, "oh so you can get me with a hate crime?" And the guy with full rage said, "No so I can fucking kill you."

More of that please.

when there’s an old photograph, AND the guy in it is really old, it’s like, wow, that guy is super old

Conrad Heyer, photographed in 1852 at the age of 103. He was born in 1749 and is thought to be the earliest-born person ever photographed.

i am experiencing Emotions about locking photographic gaze with a man who was born in the middle of the 18th century

this dude was an adult already during the american revolutionary war (ish)? he was getting real time news of the unfolding of France's emperors? what

whaaat

he is looking at me

This man was born before the invention of:

The sextant (1757), which allowed precise calculation of your position in the ocean

Lightning rods (1752)

The first English dictionary (1755)

Carbonated water (1767)

Sewing machines (1790)

The cotton gin (1794)

Flush toilets (1775)

And he's looking at you

this man was photographed before Van Gogh was born (1853)

What if I don't want to leave Texas? The only option for LGBT+ southerners should not be, "Just move somewhere else."

I don't have any attachment to "somewhere else". I don't have a community "somewhere else". I have to start from scratch "somewhere else", and that should not be my only option. That should not be the option people in big, northern, liberal cities give me whenever I talk about the political climate in the south.

I want to make the south safe for me and mine, not abandon it entirely. This is my home. These are my roots. We should be focused on making these places better, not writing them off as a lost cause.

Queer southerners should be able to hope for and work for our homes to be safe.

Our only options shouldn't be to suffer here or flee elsewhere.
