Hello!

If you want to support the indigenous Sámi people from Sápmi (I think this might be specifically for the north of Sweden because of the Swedish logging company trying to deforest there) please visit this link and choose one or more of the ways you can help!

Here is a screenshot of the web page that I found in a vogue article of Sofia Jannok (singer and indigenous activist) who I’ve been following on instagram

I have personally already donated using one of the Swedish options just so you know I’m not recommending something I haven’t checked if it works

Regardless of if you can donate, please reblog or repost or spread the word to your friends and family <3

new activity feed stuff from this post

1. Before: Blue highlighting used to signify activity from people you follow.
2. After: New highlight color now used on unread activity
3. After: Colorful new labels to distinguish activity from people you follow (following) and who follow you back (mutuals).

(NOTE: further explaination in the post linked in title, and staff asked for feedback so feel free to give there)

to add bc ppl are asking in the tags, heres from the linked post regarding sideblogs:

"Mutuals" are people you follow who also follow you back. This only applies to your primary blogs, not your secondary blogs, for those of you with many blogs.

im not sure exactly how that will work, like if that means sideblogs wont show mutals badges at all on EITHER end, or if i follow someone from my main and they follow a blog will it show as mutuals on the activity feed on that blog? idk!

if it works the way im assuming its gonna, I think thisll mean that none of my blogs will show up as mutuals for anyone bc my "main" is just a reference blog with like 3 followers.

but i guess this is a forewarning, if you see someone you think youre mutuals with just marked as "following", it might just be because of sideblog stuff. or maybe not. and if ur friend is only showing as "following" but theyre constantly popping up in ur activity feed anyway who cares theyre looking at ur stuff. dont get too worried about it.

i learned a while ago that the whole “most of the stars we see in the sky are actually already dead because they’re so far away that we’re seeing them as they were thousands of years ago” thing is a myth because stars live so long that it’s unlikely many, if any, of them have burned out yet, but i’m still glad that myth exists because there’s just something about the thought of the sky as a graveyard of stars that gets to me

It’s interesting because one day that will be true for some people in some planet out there, but we are so young, the universe is so young, that we live in a time when we get to see more stars born than we ever will see die. There’s poetry in looking up and seeing a star graveyard, but I think there’s also poetry in looking up and seeing a star nursery.

You would think that the biggest risk of trying out something new is that you won't like it, but it's when it's so good it raises your standards where the real problems start

now listen to me young man, i am talking directly into your ear now. i need you to do me a favor. you will do this for me. i need you to go to gamestop, and i need you to ask the bastard working the counter if they have bambi on the ps2. if you come back empty handed youll be in big trouble mister. you will never see the light of day.

Every time I see some moral panic article about how some alarming % of teens admit to vaping or smoking or doing drugs or whatever, I think about that time in 9th grade when school handed us a survey on substance use, told us we had to fill it out, and me and a half dozen friends reported that we’d been habitual users of heroin, cocaine, and acid since the age of 9.

“Mischievous Responder Bias” is a known problem in surveying youth but it’s annoying and expensive to overcome it so often people don’t….also the things that come up when people try to look for it are hilarious, like 99% of the kids who reported having a missing limb were lying.

It is my favorite thing about education research: that you have to remember that your subjects are a bunch of little scamps trying to prank you.
