Grave offerings and burying the dead with tools and goods is actually such a deeply human thing to do. It's not really even necessarily about how much you believe in a literal afterlife or them taking the tools with them. It's also just going Wait, I'm Not Done Taking Care Of You, let me make you one more pair of socks so your feet won't be cold when you go wherever it is where I can't follow.

men really need to start having chest hair and just leaving their shirts half unbuttoned again. i think it will start to heal society

so hard not to become the most annoying person on earth if you're a little excitable and just learned a little about a topic literally no one around you has any interest in

Anyone: Hey (asks about a special interest of mine)? Me: Becomes an unskippable cutscene

a mom lets her 10 year old and 7 year old go to the grocery store unsupervised for the first time ever and a 79 year old in an SUV mows over the 7 year old as he's crossing a 4 lane street and kills him. no charges for the murderer - police said there was "no evidence of wrongdoing" - but the parents (both of them) are getting charged with felony involuntary manslaughter and misdemeanor child neglect.

this country is so fucking inhospitable to children. they cannot leave their fucking houses because of our obsession with driving 3000 pound child flattening machines. every year the SUVs and trucks get taller and taller and you physically cannot see children trying to cross the street and people just don't fucking care enough to do anything about it. we built our entire society to prioritize child flattening machines over actual children even though lower profile cars are perfectly servicable for the vast majority of use cases. our government would rather legislate and litigate children into de facto imprisonment than threaten auto industry profits.

i can't fucking bear this anymore. this shit is a public health emergency and NOBODY fucking gives a shit in any way that matters because it primarily affects children. because to examine/fix it effectively we would need to treat children as people in their own right instead of as the property of their parents. end car culture NOW. prison abolition NOW. youth liberation NOW.

it’s pride month so it felt appropriate to make screencaps out of the perfect scene in Galavant where an army of gays save the day

I think being autistic has made me realize how extremely hostile the environments we have designed are. And I don't mean "this environment is uniquely hostile to me because I am autistic" I mean that even normies are just existing in brutal, stagnant spaces, they have just internalized them as normal. We could have it all, we could live in such a beautiful and fascinating world, designed by humans and for humans who actually enjoy life and it's complexity and wonder. but even now it's like, seen as kinda hippy-dippy bullshit to have "excessive" indoor plants in a workspace or something

big fan of stories that, while undoubtedly being about the power of friendship, acknowledge that the power of incredible violence is just as important

the love was there. the love changed everything. the crowbar helped also

"No one wants to work anymore." Damn right brother. If I could sit in a beautiful field for 40 hours every week of my singular precious life I would

I kinda hate the framing of “Trump violated your rights as a distraction.” No he just likes doing that.

I assure you he wants an anti-immigrant crackdown, he doesn’t feel shame he doesn’t commit atrocities to detract from personal impropriety, which has never hurt his political career so I don’t understand the logic. Maybe if he faced consequences for literally anything I’d kinda buy that he’s accountability evasive. But no he gets away with everything.
