Okay I– WHAT?

thechekhov:

This one’s new.

“This post was flagged because somewhere in your reblog there might be adult content“

Somewhere in my–

SOMEWHERE?
In MY REBLOG?

@staff You flagged a WHOLE DAMN POST BECAUSE SOMEWHERE in my REBLOG – which was reblogged by, and is being reblogged by, literally anyone and anyone – there – wait for it – MIGHT be adult content?!??!

What does that–

Are you seriously–

Do you seriously not see the flaw here? 

Are you saying, that one person – one VERY determined person – could go around and reblog ANY POST they like, and add f*male n*pples to it, and you would automatically flag that WHOLE post?

THE REBLOG DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY ADULT CONTENT. IT’S A COMIC. ABOUT A CARTOON. IT’S A–

 I’m done.

Conservatives: There are only 2 genders, boy and girl. Boys must be masculine and grow into strapping young men, they must be strong and protective. Girls must be feminine and become delicate, elegant young women, they must be nurturing and submissive.

Radical feminists: There are only 2 sexes, male and female. Your sex should not define your social class, or what society expects of you. Your sex does not dictate how you dress, think and behave.

Trans activists: These 2 views are the same.

this is fucking gross. @hugedyke how dare you shame this poor girl who just came to you for answers and support? she was clearly in a fucking crisis and being guilted by a transwoman, even though she notes she wasnt attracted from the beginning?

whatever happened to consent?

its not transphobic to be homosexual.

the girl even said ‘i dont have anyone to talk to’

and your only response is ‘its not my job to validate you?’

what the fuck man?

how dare you use a keith haring heart when you cant even have one for a poor scared lesbian???? do you have no sympathy for the fear this girl has?

shes being harassed and guilted into a relationship and shes trying to find someone to tell her ‘hey, its okay to be homosexual’ and you a self proclaimed lesbian cant manage to do that, huh.

furthermore, @kingkeizer thats the creepiest comment ive ever seen. how are you gonna help her, huh? whats your five step plan? forgive me for assuming the worst but males tend to have this theme of ‘turning lesbians with their dicks.’

both of you are disgusting.

“no one does that” “no one is saying that”

WELCOME BACK! For those who logged off, this is what you missed.

maswartz:

1. @staff made a post pretty much saying “Your stuff isn’t getting deleted, just hidden from everyone but you” and “Yeah we know you hate the term “female presenting nipples” but we ain’t gonna stop saying it”

2. If a blog has a pixelated icon that means they got hit by the ban, you cannot view that blog outside the sidebar. You cannot even view their archive. Allegedly if you follow the advice in this post it’ll be fixed but only if it was an accidental flag (aka a real sfw blog)

3. The post Staff made including examples of what was ok to post. It got flagged.

4. Yes, the bots are still here. Yes they are still stealing posts and putting porn links on them. Yes there are still ads with stuff more sexual than they allow in posts. Yes innocent things are still getting flagged.

5. So yes, the site is still here and staff are still morons.

It really, REALLY bothers me when I hear people frame climate change and other environmental crises as something that everyday, average-ass people are responsible for, and not corporations and entire governments. 

Like literally, how can a regular-ass person ~opt out~ of all damaging behaviors while still being able to function in society? 

You literally can’t. 

The future of our planet is not down to whether or not someone recycles their water bottle. 

It’s down to whether or not governments and corporations decide to quit sucking up all our resources and poisoning the earth with reckless abandon. 

I mean obviously people should still live as cleanly and as sustainably as they can manage where they are and with what they have, but like. THAT isn’t the major issue. 

govts and corporations have deliberately put the onus on yr individual choices so the system can continue being as destructive/profitable

God bless this post this pisses me off so much

Also this hyper-individualist shift of responsibility is largely an American thing and consumerism is framed as a solution- e.g., buy more shit that’s sustainable! That’ll fix the problem (buy a new, green water bottle! buy a new, green car! buy a new, green whatever-the-fuck that’ll just ultimately produce more waste)!

I took a course in sustainable engineering.

The professor mentioned that even if every private individual in the world were to conserve resources and the environment the ol’ Jimmy Carter way- by turning down the thermostat, recycling your glass and plastics and metals, cut down on luxuries, take shorter showers, etc., it would only get us 10% of the way to where we need to be in order to avoid global catastrophic climate change.

The vast majority of freshwater use is from industry and agriculture. http://www.worldometers.info/water/ 

The vast majority of CO2 emissions is from industrial and electrical generation sites and associated vehicles. http://www3.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/gases/co2.html

Private individuals hardly make a dent, even in ideal conditions.

Thank you.

Extra important note for spoonies. Please don’t feel bad for needing disposable medical equipment, pill bottles, long showers, micro fiber blankets, packaged pre-made food, straws, paper plates etc. You’re not individually ruining the environment, you’re doing the best you can while taking care of yourself. The blame is on corporations.

This is so important!!!

So many things that people are leaping on bandwagons to ban ARE NEEDED BY DISABLED PEOPLE.

But no one cares! It’s just like the “Opioid Epidemic” and the knee jerk backlash to just cut them off. It’s ridiculous! It’s solving a problem by making another! But hey, it’ll make some people FEEL like they DID SOMETHING, so who cares who gets hurt? Who cares about the critical life threatening damage and death it causes? Because “Epidemic!” Because “straws are bad!” Because because because!

Because Disabled Lives Don’t Matter to Abled People.

That’s it. We’re already a burden to them. We’re already an annoyance. An inconvenience. We’re different, we’re weird, we don’t fit the mold. So, to hell with us! To hell with caring about us. Even thinking about us. Because it’ll save the precious turtles or birds or something. Because taking away everything that helps us survive is the only way to make people feel like they’re doing something about a huge problem like climate change, when it’s really just screwing people whose lives are hard enough.

I will forever reblog posts like this, because it’s SO fucking important.

It’s also interesting how people seem to specifically target the products that disabled people need but get really darn quiet when it comes to the products that abled people just consume for fun. Somehow our lives are inherently wasteful but those of rich people who buy fuel-guzzling private jets and huge caravans…aren’t?

20 year old beginner: one year of learning flute and butterfly knife skillz 🙂

Fun fact: Adults actually learn those “You need to practice!” skills better than children do. 

Kids tend to want to do literally anything aside from learning this skill my parent is forcing me to learn

Adults actually can sit down and practice things for hours on end. Adults WANT to practice to get their skills better. Adults deliberately set aside time every day to practice. Even if it’s just 20 minutes, it’s productive growth and not wiggling in your chair mournfully watching birds out the window. 

Anything from Drawing to Weaving to Violin to fuckin flipping bufferfly knives like a pro – choose a skill and LEARN, dammit! None of that ‘Children’s brains are more malleable’ bullshit. Brain squish is not the end-all of learning!
