"The Big Dipper as it is today (left) and as it will look in 50,000 years." Dream of stars. 1940.
I am not at all reassured that america is neither fascist or particularly ripe for a fascist coup
I think we are moving from a liberal democracy to more illiberal forms of democracy (looking at Hungary) and expect more reactionary militia activity (fascist and non-fascist) and stochastic terror (collective and individual) and boy will that suck.
I just hope those of us who outlive the system don't hearken back to the liberal democracy that brought this land genocide, class violence and chattel slavery and only offers worsening conditions and more of the same. 1776 was not good, 1865 was not good, 1920 was not good, 1950 was not good, there is no pre 9/11, pre covid, pre trump, pre this or pre that magical time when poverty, genocide and racial hierarchy were not brought to us by liberal democracy
Tuira Kayapó brandished her machete in the face of a government official who was trying to convince indigenous leaders to accept a mega-dam project in the Amazon, 1989
“Electricity won’t give us food. We need the rivers to flow freely. Don’t talk to us about relieving our ‘poverty’ – we are the richest people in Brazil. We are Indians.”
- part of kayapó’s speech during this event
also! she’s still alive! that sort of thing is always worth pointing out to show that we really aren’t too far removed from events like this! here’s a 2019 photo of her:

Anonymous asked:
why is your cat green?
She’s built different 😌
Look i tried to laugh it off, but I haven’t stopped thinking about this message because… my cat literally isn’t green
like where is the green
Oh Christ
This is the color your cat is
colors i eyedropped directly from op's cat
I drew a tree using only colours eyedropped from OP's cat.
every time i see this post all i see is some green alien kitty with antennae so i had to draw it
I originally thought those were supposed to be mushrooms, implying that this cat is moldy
Moldy forest cat
i'm happy y'all made fan art of my cat. i tried to show her and she just rubbed her face on my phone
Pet your cat OP, 50% shot it helps.
the first time I reblogged this, like a few weeks ago, it had like 4,000 notes. why do people keep insisting tumblr is dead
i had a DREAM about the green cat last night. not sure what she was up to but. nice to meet her :)
GREEN CAT IS BACK ON MY DAAAAAASH
We Love Green Cat
Green cat?
I dunno if this has been posted yet, but.....
Keep this shit off AO3
We don't want that kind of pearl clutching 'christian' conservative sitting on the AO3 board. Keep Moms For Liberty out of our fanfiction.
this is the second fucking year in a row someone has tried to pull this crap. but if you're still on the fence about it (though fair warning, I am not copying everything she wrote as a response, which you can read on the OTW website):
Would you be in favor of creating a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee? Why or why not? I see no reason creating another committee would help anything in light of the continued staffing issues, and see several ways it could hurt. Lumping nonwhite, and non-English-speaking, and non-American volunteers together in one committee is just tokenism with a bow on top. Those experiences are not singular or universal. The DEI consultant to be hired by the organization will be able to speak to this far better than I can. The cost of becoming a member/voting in elections is prohibitive for many users, particularly disabled, international and POC ones. Do you have any ideas about how this could be improved to make the otw more inclusive and less privileged? No.
Also, just for some proof of the "Republican" part, from Twitter:
like, it's not a pejorative, it's how she's self-identified
also, ENTIRELY unrelated to this crap, but she's only been a volunteer for about a year and a lot of her answers to questions about ongoing problems is "I don't know because I've only been here a year." she doesn't even know what PAC is.
i go outside after a long day at the office and stretch my arms wide. birds of prey sweep down from every direction and tear me into ribbons of gore with their talons and beaks and their talons and beaks and their talons and their beaks

artists fuck better because we turn sex into art, masterpieces, mattresses become canvases where we can paint our love to someone with bodies.
its like, impossible to come up with anything funnier than the experience of seeing this post

pharoahs fuck better because they ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh put the pussy in a scarmophogoghs
i like the term "gallows humor" because it always makes me think of someone getting sentenced to death and being like "i have GOT to be the funniest person at my public execution"
Hey yeah in the midst of all the hype and the strikes, can we PLEASE fucking talk about this
"Whilst it’s true that there is no computer-generated imagery (CGI) in the movie, visual effects will have been used to digitally alter several images through the use of compositing.
In the case of Oppenheimer, it was the British visual design company DNEG who helped bring the movie to life, yet it has come to light that the majority of the effects crew were not credited for their work. Only 26 names have been listed in the film’s credits, yet it is thought that this number should have been around 125."
Whether you call it anti-civ or primitivism, it’s still the laziest, most fascistic environmentalist take you could possibly come up with, short of advocating a systematic roundup and execution of the poor, elderly, and disabled.
Imagine looking at humanity, a species successful precisely because we are capable of high-level organizing, and saying “actually, we need to do less of that” because that’s what anti-civ shit is.
I don’t expect this post to convince any of the edgelords spraypainting “END CIV” on every billboard, support column, and empty building in Portland. I really don’t. I just get tired of fascist pastoralism continuously reinventing itself with a thin veil of leftism.
Cottagecore is tradwife for queers. Anticiv is nazism for greenpeace. It’s exhausting and so blatant and yet people keep falling for it.
“Hunter-gatherers worked 30 hours a week,” “medieval peasants had more days off a year than you,” “electric lighting destroyed our natural circadian rhythms”
All of these leave out so many important details and come with the implicit assertion that all societal changes are either/or.
Modern society would not fall apart with a 30 hour work week.
Medieval peasants often died before reaching adulthood.
The arbitrary enforcement of a diurnal circadian rhythm is the result of capitalism minmaxxing labor relations.
The past was awful. Most children didn’t survive infancy, diabetes was a death sentence, having diarrhea meant you’d probably die in a few days from dehydration. Why do we romanticize this insane “live off the grid” shit? What is wrong with you people?
#personally modern tech kinda skeevs me out. im always waiting for the imminent collapse#so i like learning oldish techniques for like. food preservation. bcuz relying on one thing isnt a good plan#but im like fully out of touch. i realize this. i prefer doing shit on my own with my hands and thats inefficient and messy#and modern tech is a vast improvement#but. i dunno. it always makes me think of how much we have fucked up nature to get here#in terms of plastics and heavy metals and pollutants and global warming. not GMOs and vaccines#we've eradicated so many diseases and improved city design and accomplished so much incredible engineering#pasteurization. my fucking god! pasteurization! refridgeration! air conditioning! we can make our own ice in the summer anytime!#humans have made MARVELS#and yet... I can't help but wish we were more integrated with nature#not at the cost of medicine and internet. if anything at the cost of parking lots and resorts#at the cost of random bullshit debt and money#but the world we live in is the hand we were dealt. we must make the most of what we have.
