I went to this Northwest Passage museum once where they had the white explorers' journals on one side of the exhibit and the native people's accounts on the other side of the exhibit and the explorer journals were like "our canoe had almost sunk when we encountered some kindly Indians" and the native histories were like "we watched a bunch of strangers come down the river in the shittiest canoe you'd ever seen. Also, they had no rain gear"

Pizza Index strikes again.

Trump is trying to play this like he and his administration had no knowledge of Israel's attack on Iran, but the Index never lies.

pride month psa from a librarian!

if your local public library celebrates pride month, let them know you support that. if they've posted a picture of their display on social media, leave a like or a comment. if you see it in person, leave a comment card. if there's a program, even if you can't attend it, find some way to contact the library director to say you think it's great they're having something.

people protest pride in all kinds of ways. they don't want queer books where people can find them. community support where library leadership can see it makes all the difference. be as vocal as you can.

The inaccessibility of theater in an age where we have the tools to easily make it accessible is so deeply frustrating and infuriating and genuinely upsetting when i think about the state of the art form as a whole. I can understand wanting people to show up to a performance while it's running obv it's a job and you need to make money to stay open and pay your workers somehow, but there's absolutely zero reason not to record it and release it once it's over so that people who can't physically see the show in person due to cost/disability/it's just too far away/etc still have a chance to experience wonderful art! Why should i not have access to the professional recording of a play performed in 2014 when it's 2022, the run is long over and will not lose money if i get the chance to see it now rather than missing out simply because i was on a different continent and in middle school at the time. People hem and haw about a "dying art form" while making it as inaccessible as possible to the vast majority of people on earth when it could be literally the same as movies being released in theaters and then later on DVD/streaming. Movie theaters still exist Netflix hasn't killed them yet, live performance cannot ever fully be replaced and people who can see them still will, there's no reason things like stage plays, musicals, operas, ballets, etc can't do the same except for elitism. The cultural loss of not recording live performances in this day and age boils my blood, the art form is only "dying" because you'd rather let it die than change an inch.

extremely underrated subgenre of tumblr post: when someone makes a general statement about something, and another person offers a counter-statement that's just completely nonsensical, and the OP just agrees instantly even if it makes no sense at all

Having ADHD is so fun because sometimes youre looking for something that you use regularly and definitely put away in a smart and reasonable place and you have absolutely 0 hope of remembering where and finding it. And then other times ur like "hmm I need a some kind of small pointed object. I feel like i remember seeing a paperclip under the left couch cushion a month ago, i wonder if its still there" and it is

I used to do cross country in high school, and there was this guy on the team that was wonderful. Great guy. But his advice to everyone that asked how to get good was to run 20k a day.

If you don't run, I'll just tell you, most people's bodies cannot take that kind of abuse. No matter how much you train, you will not be able to run 20k a day. It's like how you can't train to make your cuts heal faster. You recover as fast as you recover. So while a big part of what made this guy so succesful was the dedication and mental toughness needed to actually run 20k a day, an equally big part was that he healed like fucking Wolverine. And that's fine, but it would've been nice if he knew that and stopped telling new guys to commit suicide by jogging.

Different guy on the team ran like, 5-6k a day, which actually isn't all that much. His problem when he gave advice was that he didn't really get that 5-6k a day doesn't generally produce elite results for most people. He was lucky in the sense that he didn't have to work all that hard to get great results, and unlucky in the sense that if he pushed himself much further than that, he fell apart.

I think about those two whenever I get advice from succesful people. The very things that make them outliers also make their advice useless to most people. Worse, they're often outliers on totally separate ends of the same spectrum, so their advice will be contradictory.
