Any minor inconvenience in my life: happens

Me and my sensitive ass:

I feel attacked

I so desperately want to be able to convince Trump supporters with facts and logic and empathy, but it’s so important to remember that their ignorance is INTENTIONAL. my mom didn’t let us watch Sleeping Beauty growing up. I asked her why recently and she said, “it was evil.” when I pointed out other movies had similar themes and depictions of evil, and asked what the difference was, she couldn’t. I pressed one more time and she just said, “it felt evil to me. I didn’t like it”. same thing with dune 2: she said it was “dark”, and I was, “literally, like the movie’s lighting? Or the themes?” and she said “I don’t know” and didn’t want to talk about it more. many conservatives genuinely cannot tell the difference between “I don’t like it” and “this is evil” and they do not care to learn despite many chances

and while I’m at, this can also be true of left-leaning people!!!! please think about things. you are not necessarily smarter than conservatives and you are not immune to propaganda

art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you

they came back to me :')

if you’re ever in the position to choose between giving up and accepting defeat, and actually trying to fight the ancient unkillable god that is about to peel apart reality like a string cheese, remember this: scientifically speaking, you might as well give it a shot!

1.there were trees at the beginning of the world! there were trees so long ago that they predate bacteria that causes wood to decay. when a tree fell, it would lie there in stasis and there wasn’t any way of breaking down wood xylem on a molecular level in that way.

2. it seems obvious to say, but wood eating bacteria are literally incapable of comprehending what they’re breaking down. It’s just not information conciously available to a microorganism. they don’t know what they’re deconstructing, where it came from, bacteria have no way to even fathom the existence of a tree as a concept.

3. Regardless of the facts above, the world we live in today is a world where wood inevitably decomposes

it is worth fighting the unkillable god no matter how pointless it seems. it is worth taking the risk even though youre trying to accomplish something impossible. the reality in which you live was also once reality in which trees didn’t rot. You live in a reality that allows for existence before the possibility of destruction. you live in a reality where uncomprehending microbes break down matter that is so far beyond the scope of their comprehension that it feels comical to specify something so obvious. you live in a reality that occasionally allows unshakeable physical truths to be altered with no warning.

It is worth fighting the unkillable god because trees are so old they predate the source of their destruction, and it still did not spare them. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because bacteria rots unthinkingly, because there is room in our cosmos for destruction without comprehension on the part of the destroyer. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because now and then reality retracts the promise of immortality without fanfare, and when that happens there is no mercy for the ancient. the unmaking is not softer for the desecrators ignorance. for all things, existence is endless until the exact point where it ends.

so you might as well try to kill the unkillable god. it doesn’t seem likely, but at the beginning of the world, trees didn’t rot. so you never know! you never know

why is this the hottest thing i've ever seen

HE SHOWED UP WITH A DUEL DISK TODAY?????

AND ALL FIVE EXODIA PIECES

I need everyone to know that I looked it up, and Noah Lyles is doing this as part of an ongoing bet he has with shotput competitor Chase Jackson. She's wearing Naruto accessories every day, and if Lyles whips out Yugioh cards at every race, then for the shotput finals Jackson will re-enact the scene of Rock Lee dropping his weights.

This is now the only part of the Olympics that I care about.

edit: this is not the olympics. I'm an idiot. it's the USA qualifiers for the olympics, but our boy Lyles has won every race so he's definitely going to be taking Exodia to the Olympics, and i for one cannot wait

Light answers a tough question

making egg tarts without eggs is....a choice. sometimes one just has to acknowledge that a banana isn't an egg, indeed.

Fuck i hate how funny he is

Philadelphians refilling the earths core with Cheez Whiz during the Great Cheez Whiz shortage of 1912

Get DRINKED (don't tell the Philadelphians)

did i tell u guys i got into an argument on twitter bc i said foxes are dogs and someone tried to bring up their actual fuckin. classification or whatever and i just said “foxes are dogs cause they are fluffye” and they kept arguing with me. the entire time i was like “you will not survive the immigration to tumblr you are lucky we are not there right now”

This is especially funny because they aren’t even right. Foxes *ARE* dogs.

No they aren’t.

yes they are. because they are fluffye.

OK yes they are.

Dog

Dog

Different family, but same order as @pictures-of-dogs

No, they are the same family. They are the same kingdom, phylum, order and family. They separate at the genus.

They’re a dog.

yeah they’re fluffye

theyre literally not dogs theyre not even fluffy. can we get science tumblr over hear or what!?

checkmate athiests

fluffye

okay but they literally are dogs, for those who are confused

If foxes are dogs, then so are wolves, coyotes, dingoes, jackals, and several other extant and extinct species.

Behold! A dog.

of course it’s a dog you buffoon. it’s fluffye.

Why on earth would someone think “BUT IF THEY’RE DOGS SO AR -”

Like yes of course wolves are dogs, where have you been. Jackals are excellent doggies! So are coyotes. Why is this confusing.

I love that this is literally two completely different arguments running simultaneously.

That guy up there who said they’re not even fluffy was thinking of sharks

sharks are also dogs. ravenous water dogs, but still dogs

Sharks can NOT be dogs they are SMOOTH

sharks are smooth dogs

BEHOLD, a SHARK

I really think people have forgotten just how bad things were under the Trump Administration. Literally every day there was news about some service being cut or someone terrible appointed somewhere they shouldn’t be or what have you. He constantly flirted with WW3 and military dictatorship. It was such a blur of badness that there aren’t big standouts for people to point to to make him “the XYZ president.” it was everything. all the time. Why do we not remember this.

Yes, you’re right, but the democrats did next to nothing to reverse the policies he introduced. In fact, they’re continuing the ones they said they’d stop, like the border wall. We will continue lurching into fascism is we don’t stand up and stop the establishment now. Republicans push us right, and democrats keep us there until the next republican pushes us a little further.

You’re right, that’s why Biden immediately rejoined the World Health Organization, rejoined the Paris Climate agreement, revoked the permit for the keystone pipeline, revoked the border wall emergency, ended the Muslim ban, restored rights to gay beneficiaries, created a White House office of gun violence prevention, challenged trans care bans, signed the respect for marriage act, started allowing X gender markers on passports, and that’s what I found in just thirty seconds of googling. It’s why he’s pushing so much student loan forgiveness and limiting the price of drugs. Because he is secretly upholding the Trump agenda. Obvs.

Trump and his chumps broke more stuff in four years than ANY administration could have fixed in just another four. We’re going to be unfucking his messes for a decade or two, at least, and only then will we be able to start unfucking REAGAN’S messes.

THIS is why proper candidate research is important!!!! PLEASE, I am well aware that the Biden administration is far from perfect, but people need to start using common fucking sense. Unfortunately a third party candidate isn’t a viable option if we want to keep Trumplestiltskin out of office, Americans need to vote Biden. After that, y’know what, if he dies in office, at least we’ll get Kamala. Will it be fair that she wasn’t elected, that it had to be “hey, the old white guy died and you’re next in line” situation? No, but at least Kamala Harris will be a better option for VP than whoever the fuck Trump makes his VP.

Also, from a take-the-long-view perspective, as sad as this is, if Biden should die in office and Harris becomes president, it might do a lot to diversify the pool of presidential candidates, because a Black woman was president and the sky didn’t fall.

Also if she had to take the mantle in his seventh/eighth year, she’d still be eligible to run twice, and she’d have incumbent advantage. Meaning potentially sixteen years under Democratic leadership, untangling Trump’s mess at the federal level while we can work on pushing the party leftward at local and state levels—which then puts us in a better position to do so at a federal level.

Always remember that it takes a LOT longer to fix shit than it did to break it in the first place. Biden isn’t only fixing shit that Trump broke. He’s also been fixing shit that Reagan broke! Like actually funding the IRS enough that they can go after rich tax-evaders! Rich tax evaders have money to pay for really good lawyers, so in order to nail them the IRS needs really good lawyers (lots of them, and the money to pay them for lots of time). This is the first time since Reagan that wealthy people are actually going to pay something approaching their fair share of taxes. Also, Reagan changed the rules on how and when the government could go after monopolies and other unethical corporate tactics, and defunded the parts of government which handled that sort of thing. Biden has restored the old rules and re-funded the lawyers, and there are multiple lawsuits against unethical corporations happening as we speak! It’s the biggest blow against late-stage capitalism and the 1% since the New Deal! Trump wins, that’s all gone.

#that one post of that one lady who signed a bomb heading to palestine and ppl are like wow US politicians suck#she was a trump appointee and she wants to be trumps VP!!!!!

#did yall like forget. supreme court overturning roe v wade. THREE of the judges who voted for overturning. were trump appointees

#rly hated how biden didnt stand by the train union but there’s a lot more gov goin hey stop union busting now–tags via nommedtail

As for “not standing by the train union,” the train union actually got the sick leave they were trying to strike over. Yes, Biden prevented them from going on strike over not getting paid sick leave. And then he spent the next five months pressuring the railroads to give it anyway. Biden may not have been Perfectly 100% Union, but he made sure they got what they needed anyway.

I desperately need someone to convince my nervous system that the tiger does not exist.

Have a strawberry

...👀will it help?

OK, so not long after I started studying Buddhism, I was told a story at our discussion group.

There was a guy walking through the forest when he spotted a tiger stalking him. He took off running, but the tiger was keeping pace. Putting on a burst of speed, he shot right over a cliff

He grabbed at a vine to keep from plummeting to his death. The tiger was there, at the top of the cliff, snarling, so the guy decides to climb down. Suddenly he hears a snarling from below. He looks down, and there’s another tiger, tail lashing, waiting for him to get down. Looks up, and there’s the first tiger staring at him. He sees that the vine is starting to break. Something will happen soon, and it will end with him inside a tiger

Just then he notices a small strawberry plant clinging to the cliff next to him, with a single ripe berry on it.

It was, without a doubt, the best strawberry he had ever tasted

When you’re surrounded by tigers; find some small joy near you. It won’t stop the real tigers, but it will let you have what joy you can.

And if they’re metaphorical tigers? Ignore them long enough and they’ll go away

it. it ends in 50 years…..horse is fucking eternal
