Another interesting fact is that in the US it is illegal to sell or trade any migratory birds native to the United States and it’s overseas territories. It is only illegal to sell human remains in 8 states, however.
Well people aren’t exactly killing humans to make money off their remains lmao/lh
theres too many pokemon games where you play as a kid whos full of life and full of potential. there needs to be a pokemon game where you play as a college dropout who lives in a shitty apartment
your starter pokemon are trubbish, rattata and glameow. which symbolise the trash you keep forgetting to take out, the rats living in your walls and the stray cat you keep trying to befriend but it keeps hissing at you.
you guys dont get it its not supposed to be dark and edgy its supposed to be living in a mundane setting and slowly rediscovering the wonder in the world by going on a journey with a magical trash bag that is your friend, its about love and recovery and coping with the stress of your adult life with your friend who is made of sentient garbage
I’ve never been so attached to literal trash before
I am similarly attached to the sentient trash. Can’t wait to take him on little adventures
I don’t usually talk about Israel/Palestine, but as an Israeli citizen who doesn’t support genocide, I need to speak out.
We’re seeing, on a massive scale, news websites release articles saying “Israel bombs hospital in Gaza” and revising it to “Israel, Hamas trade blame for hospital bombing in Gaza”. Every single news site is doing the same thing.

Every single news site is changing their headlines, but instead of admitting the correction as is done in every single other instance of this updating, they are acting as if this was always their headline. Note the repeated use of "Hamas and Israel trade blame” in the new headlines. This is the power the Israeli military has over the news, the control the US government exerts over every outlet, and the proof there is no unbiased reporting on Israel/Palestine. Our only accurate source is the civilian journalists being killed in Gaza and having their access to the outside world cut off.
(Before this is reposted and I am accused of being a self-hating Israeli citizen and Jew, I need Zionists to understand that the US military is not Judaism, and making the leap from “the US government exerts control over a lot of media” to “Jews control the media” shows more about you than me.)
YEAH. there is no ethical way to make a child’s spine into a purse. that’s not even the one I’m thinking about though, there was a girl on this site with a the skull of a small child of Southeast Asian ancestry and NO provenance and the skull didn’t show signs of patina indicating it was a more recent death. this was during/right after the bone stealing witch era so someone having human remains in their procession wasn’t completely shocking but the fact that it was the non-historical remains of a child had everyone telling OP exactly how fucked up they were.
hey btw if my pro palestine reblogs are bothering you u can actually turn them off by going to my profile and unfollowing me because ur not wanted here 💙
The kids on TikTok think that just because he was a classic country singer, Johnny Cash was conservative??? My babies he covered a Nine Inch Nails song in his seventies.
Classic country singers (the majority of which came from poor roots) were always talking about how much The Man sucked because they were taking money from poor rural folk. You’re gonna tell me that’s conservative?? Get outta here.
And somehow on the opposite side of the scale with the same exact opinion the conservative kids say “I like the old country music, because there’s no politics to it” Woodie Guthrie’s got a “this machine kills fascists” sticker on his guitar? You think there’s no politics in 9 to 5 or Folsom Prison Blues?!
For anyone confused there was a sudden and dramatic shift in the country music genre. It used to be a genre fixated on the experiences of people. Lived or common experiences that resonated with the common people. It was music that you listened to and it thrummed in tune to your soul because you had lived it yourself. And a lot of that was about ordinary people getting ground up in the gears of society.
The hyper patriotism, beer, and trucks chimera we have now didn’t show up until after 9/11 and the world is lesser for it
Allow me to post the entire lyrics to the Johnny Cash song “Man in Black”, released in nineteen goddamn seventy-one and written about why he always wore black onstage:
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black
Why you never see bright colors on my back
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone
Well, there’s a reason for the things that I have on
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
Livin’ in the hopeless, hungry side of town
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
But is there because he’s a victim of the times
I wear the black for those who’ve never read
Or listened to the words that Jesus said
About the road to happiness through love and charity
Why, you’d think He’s talking straight to you and me
Well, we’re doin’ mighty fine, I do suppose
In our streak of lightnin’ cars and fancy clothes
But just so we’re reminded of the ones who are held back
Up front there ought to be a man in black
I wear it for the sick and lonely old
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold
I wear the black in mournin’ for the lives that could have been
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men
And I wear it for the thousands who have died
Believin’ that the Lord was on their side
I wear it for another hundred-thousand who have died
Believin’ that we all were on their side
Well, there’s things that never will be right, I know
And things need changin’ everywhere you go
But ‘til we start to make a move to make a few things right
You’ll never see me wear a suit of white
Ah, I’d love to wear a rainbow every day
And tell the world that everything’s okay
But I’ll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
'Til things are brighter, I’m the man in black
That right there is an anti-war, anti-bigot, anti-mass-incarceration, anti-war-on-drugs (Cash was an addict in various stages of recovery who was pissed as hell about how this country treats people with substance issues), eat-the-rich protest song. And it was arguably his signature song, his personal manifesto. Notice that even the Jesus reference, which today would be a signal that the song is about to drop some racist dogwhistles, segues immediately into a line about “the road to happiness through love and charity”. As in “Motherfucker, our shared god said love thy neighbor and care for the poor and the outsider, and we both know he didn’t fucking stutter.” He’s throwing shade at self-described Christians who use his religion as a cudgel to beat people with.
Johnny Cash wasn’t a conservative. I’m pretty sure if he were alive and in reasonably good health today, he’d knock Jason Aldean’s teeth out (or, failing that, write a song so devastatingly memetic about how much Aldean sucks that Aldean would never work in music again).
Johnny Cash was punk rock. He just happened to be punk rock in the body of a country singer.
For anyone who is unaware, MAP means “minor attracted person” though this is nothing but a false name Pedophiles use in attempt to weasel their way into the Queer community. If you see anyone using this flag, block them and report them if you can.
What’s funny to me is that nobody cares about copyright outside the US and maybe, I dunno, Canada and Europe? For the entire third world, it’s something we politely pretend is real so we don’t hurt their feelings, but it’s probably the fakest and less upheld concept here, absolutely nobody cares.
Some yanqui says something deranged like “um, uh, yeah, you should pay for every time you play a song otherwise you’re stealing” and we just pat their head and say “claro que sí tesoro” while we download 15 GBs of movies and the local pizzeria has a mural of like Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny to promote it.
You best start believing in a post-copyright world, fella. You already live in one.
Why am I having ideas for an exclam. I am NOT joining I refuse to have such a big commitment. but… I am thinking about them. I have a design concept in mind. I have an outline for their lore. I’m thinking SO HARD about their lore. why……
do what you want forever 👍 embrace the brain goblin and leave after a week if you don’t want a commitment 👍
Wouldn’t it be disappointing to introduce a character and immediately abandon them?
Besides. I have never written anything in my whole life and interactions seem so daunting… I have to actually Know my character and improvise and such and I do not know how to do that
There is functionally no difference between doing something nice because you actually care and doing something nice because it makes you feel good or because you think you’re obligated to.
A charity does not care if you’re only donating because your religion says you should; either way, your money is still going to help people. That little old lady next door does not care if you only help her with gardening because being thanked makes you feel good, it’s just nice to have some extra hands.
“Fake it til you make it,” is a phrase for a reason but it’s also okay if you NEVER make it, if you never feel the “correct” emotions behind your actions. Your thoughts and feelings matter considerably less than the impact your actions have on other people.
It’s like that story about the man who was going to donate to the hospital so he could get his name on a plaque, then realizes his motives were self-aggrandizing and spiralled on whether he should donate at all. At last he asked his rabbi, who said. “The sick in the hospital don’t care if you just did it to puff yourself up. Don’t shy away from doing the good thing just because you cannot do it perfectly!”
What an utterly cruel thing to tag this post with while completely missing the point. This post was about reassuring people with low and non-existent empathy that they are capable of being kind and doing good, even when they aren’t feeling the “right” emotions.
If someone does good for gratitude, as opposed to genuine care, that’s better than doing nothing out of apathy or a belief that nothing good you do matters because your motivation is selfish.
CAPTIONS ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE OF YOU REMOVE OR CENSOR WORDS YOUTUBE, STOP CENSORING SWEAR WORDS THIS IS NOT A COMPREHENSIBLE CAPTION
ID: screenshot of youtube subtitles that read “[ __ ]. That’s it, [ __ ]. It’s [ __ ].” end ID]
@pozhiratel Hey, OP? What was this supposed to say?
the original caption is supposed to read as “Bullshit. That’s it, bullshit. It’s bullshit.” but youtube censored it. I think this is what you were asking anyway? I did make a spelling error despite proof reading in the og post [of is supposed to be if] uhh yea!! I hope this answers the question properly.
our friend’s daughter is at the age where she is extremely chatty and speaking in full sentences, and i love kids’ use of language.
apparently all strangers used to be “ladies,” but now they are “neighbors.” since they speak english exclusively at home, “neighbors” speak german; it was very distressing to hear her mom speak german once, because, in her words, “you’re not a doctor or a neighbor!”
When learning how to talk, each one of my 3 sons went through a phase where I was the only person they said “She” for. Obviously, SHE was Mom, and HE was the rest of the world
Three sons, and I was the only female in the household (dog was male too).
i love the idea of a mode of language where the human noun classification system is “one’s own mother” and “everyone else”
I can’t believe paying minimum wage is like a culturally acceptable thing for bosses to do to their employees
if I came into work and went “nah, I think im gonna do the absolute bare minimum” I would be fired. we need to start firing bosses who only pay minimum wage. out of cannons
please can we do inbox trick-or-treating this year. can we make that a thing on tumblr. please please please please please
literally all it entails is sending people “trick-or-treat” asks and people answering those asks with pictures of candy or those silly spooky plastic toys or whatever else you would give a trick-or-treater. please. please can we have some whimsy
I will do this with various plants and rocks, especially if I have the energy to get through the lore I wanna write before Halloween
As a bisexual, it sickens me that some people WILL keep scrolling.
I’m probably gonna have the creepiest, gayest, and awesomest graveyard wedding one day. So yeah.
I support them
Honestly, even those who don’t agree with people being gay should shut the hell up. You live your life the way you want, and let other people live their lives the way they want. So ye, even if you don’t agree with gay people(which in of itself is dumb), it is even more dumb to get mad at others for it
