i just had the weirdest moment, i was feeling my front teeth with my tongue because they’re the tiniest bit crooked, and then i had the thought “i’ll check if they’re also crooked in my other mouth” and then i realized to my shock and confusion that i have only one mouth, leading me to believe that in a past life i was a terrible monster with two mouths

I think my biggest problem with veganism is that there is a line between, idk, “exploiting animals is wrong” and “If you touch anything with animal products you’re immoral”

Like yeah, the meat industry destroys the environment and hurts way more animals than it should for profit

But people start fighting THAT and suddenly they start acting like it’s cheaper to be vegan and also greener and like??? it’s not???

I understand why people dislike leather and animal products. But leather is such a good resource? Like… My mom bought a sturdy leather coat in 1989. I’m in my 20’s and I now wear that coat. That’s a 30 year old coat? 30 years, two generations, one coat. Versus, like… A plastic one, that rips and gets thrown out, or releases bits into the ecosystem every time it’s washed, takes a billion years to decompose, lasts maybe a decade if you’re super duper careful, and uses oil products in it’s construction. Like, yeah leather is expensive and comes from a living animal, and I’m not saying that you should go out and buy fifty fur and leather products for the he’ll of it, but like… Maybe the compromise is worth it? One animal product, valued and respected and worn down for generations, versus like… Six plastic products that will never ever go away?

idk, I could be wrong.

idk i wish we like... took a moment to just be sad about how a book series a lot of us really really loved turned out to have been written by an awful person?

like yes it has problematic themes but i wish we would stop pretending it always sucked and everyone who liked it was a dumb idiot. yes it’s not Literature (TM), it’s a children series, ok nu. but it was a really good children’s series and there were reasons everyone loved it.

a lot of us have lost an important part of our childhood because it’s tainted now and like. maybe we could or should just be sad about that and recognize we lost something.

also if people could stop yelling about how we’re stupid idiots with no taste because we liked children’s books when we were eight years old that would, like, be cool too

This is really getting out of hand. 🤣

I work with the “you get one strike” system

If someone says something stupid, I go to the comment section and check - more often than not, someone already explained the issue very nicely. If the next statement is “oh sorry guys I’m unlearning stuff I’ll do better next time”, great!

If the next statement is “whoa I’m sorry you guys are sensitive but now I’m being attacked for my opinions and here’s an article from a transphobe on how you are all wrong”, then you don’t get to cry ~but cancel culture!!!~ cause I won’t be hearing anything else you have to say cause you DECIDED to stay a moron

I had to google what was happening on this post bc I had no idea. I have no memory of this show whatsoever. It’s like BBC’s Sherlock was completely erased from my mind. Amazing.

*missing the charging port on my phone* don’t think about it don’t think about it don’t think about it

Never Forget the Reign of Terror waged against Muslims (and by extension, Sikhs profiled as being Muslim) in the nearly two decades following 9/11.

9/11 never forget

The bombing of La Moneda (seat of the president in Chile) on 11 September 1973 by the Chilean Armed Forces.

On September 11, 1973, the US government helped orchestrate a coup that desposed of democratically elected socialist president Salvador Allende. The coup lead to dictator Augusto Pinochet's military officers seizing power. The military established a junta that suspended all political activity in Chile and repressed left-wing movements, dissolving congress and outlawing enemy parties. The military government also took control of all media, including the radio broadcasting that Allende attempted to use to give his final speech to the nation. Allende's death occurred in the presidential palace after he gave a final speech. One of the first measures of the dictatorship was to set up a 'national youth office' as a way of mobilizing support for it. Pinochet rose to supreme power within a year of the coup and was formally declared President of Chile in late 1974, leading the Nixon administration to recognize the junta government and support it in consolidating power. In the first months after the coup the military killed thousands of real and 'suspected' Chilean leftists or forced their "disappearance" in which they were tortured or killed. The number of dead and disappeared citizens soon reached thousands. Torture and detention centers were established.

Pictures of people missing after the coup.

The CIA helped justify the coup in propaganda to Chilean citizens, pushing a conspiracy theory that they were in fact anticipating a self-coup (Plan Zeta/Plan Z) that Allende's government or its associates were preparing. The theory was later discredited and officially recognized as political propaganda.

Decades before the coup, the US intervened in Chilean politics pushing anti-communist ideology, which influenced the Chilean Army.
