@bullistug

have been informed of 350mg gummies and i have probably never needed anything more

review:

look: they're cubes!!!! this is really novel and cute to me for some reason. the other edibles they make are just blobby gumdrop shapes but they're cubes!!! 9/10

feel: they're Very firm. real dense ass gummies. they got a bite to them. i like the texture personally so 9/10

taste: prefacing this with the flavor i got was lemon cherry. the moment you open the tube it smells of cherry and that's great. the taste is awful. that good good pure bitter nasty THC oil flavor like when a bit of juice oozes out the cart. yucka pucka. bad/10

effect: to be determined, i took one 40 minutes ago and had a textbook edibles moment 5 minutes ago so we'll see where that takes me

Effect update: experiencing category 3 Oh bother moment

effects update, final edition: easily 10/10 high. i don't remember most of it except devouring rotisserie chicken in instant yakisoba and i think i slept for like 12 hours afterwards. i still kinda have a bit of brainfog left over from it lmao

overall 9/10 solid lil gummy there. insane dosage. honestly i bet lightweights could get good mileage off these by cutting em up into smaller pieces. that's like a year worth of edibles

touching grass isn't enough some of y'all need to drive out to the countryside and look at the stars

this post was aimed at the discourse-addled and terminally online, but i'm glad it's reaching an audience of people who are just excited about stargazing in general

kill the rhetoric that americans are so lazy that they won't take farm jobs. americans take labor intensive jobs all the time. the reason no americans will take farm jobs is because agricultural work is exempt from the vast majority of labor laws and labor protections, including the use of child labor. so only immigrants - people who have little to no protection from the law or other options for work - take most of these jobs. we have created a permanent underclass of labor and then say that americans are just lazy for not volunteering to be part of the underclass.

there are actually good discussions to be had about how alienated many americans are from food production (hi hello that's what my only popular post is about), but the real solution to this problem is to protect agricultural workers, citizens or not. ban child labor in its entirety. punish corporations and farm owners that abuse and poison their workers. reform the immigration process so that these people aren't barred from legal protection and recourse.

agricultural workers have been exploited since the dawn of civilization, but the US in specific has been doing this since slavery, and it evolved in the 30s when FDR's labor laws excluded them specifically because most agricultural workers at the time were black. now it's mostly latino immigrants.

food doesn't fucking pick or slaughter itself. but citizens aren't going to take these jobs when the entire industry is rife with abuse - both legal and illegal - and horrific wages and working conditions.

I think ive said it before but you really gotta feel bad for oedipus that wanting to fuck your mother got named after him. He really did not want to do that . It is central to oedipus rex how badly he didnt want to do that. Dick move by freud

You know the parable about how the foolish man built his house upon sand and the wise man built his house upon rock and it’s always about having a sturdy foundation well there is also the fact of location which is that the sand probably used to be rock except it’s been eroded to sediment because it’s a FUCKING FLOODPLAIN

I feel like a dumbass, but @rapidashmascot just revolutionised my understanding of that parable.

My family quotes that parable loudly every time another planned housing community on a former floodplain gets inundated with water.

I'd like to add to this post that this is the exact thing that happened today in the Río de la Plata and Delta areas of Argentina and Uruguay. Huge floods hitting capital cities.

Please help us. Just being informed helps. This is the consequence of climate change in the Global South, and colonialist exploitation.

Some links to help however you can:

Please help by tagging any big blogs you know support environmental movements and tragedy relief in the global south 💛 We're a bit desperate here

love those tik tok videos that are just like "what would you do" and its cgi footage of mars crashing into the earth as seen from a phone camera. they're such a vibe.

some of them have stupid horror action music and i love it in this context, like utilizing the film language of an avengers movie but for a scenario where the story is over before it began. also im mentally ill

I will be 70 years old and I still will never have gotten over the time the Mythbusters used a rocket powered steel wall to - and I use this word as literally as possible - vaporize an entire car into red mist

If you haven’t seen this episode of Mythbusters I feel so bad for you because “What car?” remains to this day as a defining moment of my adolescence and my entire life

That was a near-religious experience 

I made a gif of it for those of you who cant watch the video in your country. Or if you know you just want to stare at it mesmerized like me

"There’s a perception of autistic people and people with [intellectual and developmental disabilities] overall, that we’re not able to make our own decisions. Big decisions like those around health care, education, living arrangements."

If you're trans I think it's important that you know that TERFs are using anti-trans rhetoric to stop autistic people from transitioning. Autistic people are highly likely to be trans, genderqueer, nb, or otherwise gnc.

We deserve the right to transition.

Autistic people already face frequent barriers to transition within existing medical systems. Here in the Netherlands those can range from longer diagnosis to being told to ‘work on your autism first’ to simple refusals to diagnose and prescribe care to a trans person because they are autistic.

One of the many examples of why our fight for self determination and access to transition care must be intersectional. 

"the education system traumatizes students it deems stupid" and "the education system traumatizes students it deems gifted" are two concepts that can and should coexist.

I think I've got a compromise
