Also I love when people say "For most of human history, X thing..." because 99% of the time that is just straight up not true. Humans (Homo sapiens I mean) have existed for between 200,000 and 300,000 years. At the very most conservative, humans have been behaviorally and cognitively modern for 50,000-60,000 years. Agriculture was invented 11,000 years ago max.

For most of human history, humans have been hunter-gatherers.

If you say "for most of human history" and do not follow it with something about hunting and gathering, it is just not true.

Post-Neolithic, for most of human history, most humans have been subsistence farmers (except for the ones that stayed hunter-gatherers, which a bunch did, because Neolithic farming was kind of miserable.) If you don't acknowledge subsistence farmers in your analysis of how much and what kind of work people were doing before 1600 or so, you're being disingenuous and doing bad history.

And if you want to talk about the practices of urban populations... that's valuable cross-cultural comparison, but you have to 1) clarify that, and 2) recognize that before maybe the 1700s, urban populations were a very small fraction of the whole population.

And if you argue that "human history" only means the time period that had written records, and anything before that is prehistory and doesn't count, I will graciously acknowledge that definition because it is a commonly used one for sure, and then I will launch into my argument about why I do not think that's a good way of conceptualizing history :P

this is by far the best explanation of how asexuality and sexual attraction works

“I don’t do math because I’m gay” “the gays can’t do math” “If I explain math on tumblr I’ll lose my gay card” all of you apologize to Alan Turing right now

consider: teenagers aren’t apathetic about everything they’re just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

Today I was chatting with two guys and mentioned I was aroace. It went a little something like this.

A: wtf is that

B: it means she’s not attracted to people in that way

A: bro you can’t just not pick a side, that’s crazy

B: nah, it just means she’s spectator mode

A: OHHH IT MAKES SENSE NOW

I have never felt more validated or laughed so hard

y’all remember being 15? That was fucked up

biggest reason i make so many flop posts on here is because everything i do reeks of the desperation to make a popular tumblr post. this is deliberate, because it is what protects me from ACTUALLY making a popular tumblr post. so long as i crave it, tumblr fame will never find me. it is only when i turn away, and accept my fate of obscurity, that people will lay their eyes upon me. and it WILL be because i tripped and fell on my stupid face while i was turning
