As an Indigenous person, millitant vegans drive me nuts, especially in their trying to stop seal hunts/whaling up north. Like, okay, I just wanna lock one of these fuckers in a freezer with a 20$ bill, a cell phone with no signal, and a piece of seal meat and see how long they last. And the soonest they can get a head of lettuce is 6 weeks from now, for 38$.
I've legit seen the argument that indigenous people in the far north should go to growing crops and i'm like
how
On the fucking ice?????
Point to where in this image people are supposed to grow things, kthx
the other argument they pull out is "well then they should just move" as though Indigenous peoples haven't been forced to be where they are and also WHY SHOULD THEY? To make ur feefees feel better??
Colonialism, all of it.
Wild thing there is that often indigenous groups CHOSE these places. The arctic, for example, is an incredibly rich ecosystem and people have lived very well there for literal thousands of years in the niche they figured out. They can keep doing so if we just leave them TF alone, and if you, i dunno, actually ask them what they want, a lot LIKE living in their ancestral lands.
The crux of it all is the imperialist notion that we have the right to fix everyone else who isn't like us, because anyone not like us is doing it WRONG.
It's incredible arrogance.
when i was post op after top surgery i had a good friend there with me to help recover. but the nurse didnt get the memo and when i woke up she was like “ok i’m gonna go get your girlfriend and bring her in to see you!” and i remember being so zonked on anesthesia and so disoriented i just laid there thinking wow…… all that an they’re bringing me a girlfriend too this place is amazing
recalling my insane former roommate who said their cat did things out of genuine emotion whereas my cat behaved performatively
thinking about this message from me mam that she sent me back when i was in uni. it literally is just a pinprick in the tapestry of life!!
If you are thinking about it on paper, the bus running every half hour doesn't sound so bad, until you're waiting at the stop and you miss a bus or it's delayed. Then you're waiting a very, very long time. To people who never take transit, that's probably fine. Why do you care. To people who only take transit, they're expecting it, it's baked in their lives. But the important part, what really impacts our cities, is what happens to people for whom transit is an option.
The spiral goes like this. You go to take the bus instead of driving, thinking "I'm going to o have a couple drinks" or "I don't want to worry about parking where I'm going." So you take bus. First bus is right on time. But then you transfer from your neighborhood line to the line that takes you where you actually want to go. And your bus is delayed. And it only comes every 30 minutes. And then you're waiting, 40 minutes later, wondering where your bus is, knowing you could have driven there in 20 minutes.
Why would you ever chose to take a bus again? The bus made you waste precious time on your day off just sitting there. So next time you drive. Ridership goes down. When the transit authority asks for more money for more buses and more drivers, people point to the ridership numbers and say "why should we pay for this instead of paying for our schools/police/baseball stadium/parks/police again (let's be real that's who's taking all the money)?" If we want to increase ridership we need to actually design and fund functional transit networks. If we want people to actually ride the bus we need to make it a better option than driving, which means reliable service, which you don't get with a bus every 30 minutes.
Every 15 minutes, everywhere, all of the time.
Lmk what y'all think cause there's a few pieces I have in mind that I want to try out
Results are in! I've been getting some good feedback in terms of cropping it and artistically censoring some stuff. Thank you all for those that have voted and participated!
idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it
Actually forget what I said. This dream is more important than anything
sometimes i forget most people don't know that birdhouse shapes aren't just for shits and giggles and that birds actively prefer and even need specific shapes to nest in
So which ones need the Frank Lloyd Wright ass houses?
the ones that make 240,000$ a year by making other birds work in their warehouse for 5 sunflower seeds an hour
