fuck all philosophy except for whatever the hell Diogenes was trying to teach

Diógenes said you couldn’t spit anywhere but in the face of a rich man because once this rich dude invited him into his house and literally told him you can’t spit on anything that touches the floor so Diógenes spit in this guys face
here is a very good painting of Diógenes in his tub that i had the good fortune of actually seeing earlier this year
I love that Diogenes is making a comeback in the twenty-first century.

I find it funny whenever i make a sea slug post that gets more notes than expected, like. Yeah, I’m winning at the webbed site (<- made these posts in a sea slug obsessive haze. No one could have seen them and I still would have kept going. It’s my enrichment)
“On December 9, 1979, the disease was confirmed to have been eradicated, with the World Health Assembly making the declaration official five months later.”
“On May 8, 1980, more than two years after the last known case, the World Health Assembly formally declared the world free of smallpox.”
a lot of yall wanna be leftists until you have to treat drug addicts and the homeless like theyre human beings deserving of dignity and respect
and no, forced rehab is not treating drug addicts with dignity and respect (and also doesnt help them), and the majority of homeless shelters take away so much of your personal autonomy that it causes many people to “choose” to remain unhoused. hope that helps.
Y'all ever open a book on a new subject, read a little bit, and have to put it back so you can process the way in which your mind was just expanded?
The textile book: okay here is some of the ways that textiles are important to human life
me: Okay!
The textile book: Clothes separate the vulnerable human body from the conditions of the outside world, and in doing so absorb the sweat and debris of human existence, accumulating wear and tear according to the lives we live. In this way, various lifestyles and professions are represented by clothing, and the clothing of a loved one retains the imprint of their physical body and their life being lived, as though the clothes absorb part of the wearer’s soul
Me: …oh
The textile book: The process of weaving a garment and the process of a child being formed in its mother’s womb are often referred to using the same language. Likewise, when a baby is born, a blanket or other textile material is the first material object it encounters and protects it. Textiles can create the idea of two things being inextricable, as with being “woven together,” or can create the sense of separateness, as with a curtain or veil that separates two rooms or spaces, even separating the living from the dead, or separating two realities, such as a performance ending when the curtain falls
Me: …oh God
The textile book: Odysseus’s wife Penelope undid her weaving in secret every night to delay the advances of her suitors. In this way she was able to turn back the passage of time to allow her husband to come home. Likewise the Lakota tell a story of an old woman embroidering time by embroidering a robe with porcupine quills. If she finishes the embroidery, the world will come to an end, but her faithful dog pulls out the quills whenever her back is turned, turning back the clock and allowing existence to continue.
me: …is…is…is that why we refer to the fabric of space and time?
The textile book: The technological revolution of textile making is sadly underappreciated. The textile arts are possibly the most fundamental human technology, as once people created string and rope, they could create nets for catching fish and small animals, and bags and baskets for carrying food. In the earliest prehistoric times, the first string or cord perhaps came from sinew, found in the body of an animal. Because of this perhaps the body of a living being could be understood as made of a textile material. Indeed textiles have the function of preserving life, as with a surgeon stitching back together the human body or bandages being placed on a wound. Textile technologies are being used to create life-changing implants to restore function to injured parts of the body, as though a muscle or tendon can be woven and made in this way. Cloth can be used to create a parachute that will save a human’s life as they plummet out of the sky. Ultimately, the textile technologies are used to enter new parts of the universe.

Me: STOP!! MY MIND IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THIS
OP WHAT BOOK.
YES! Title please?! It’s time to break my brain in in New ways
Hanukkah is almost upon us (woohoo!), so I wanted to give a quick reminder to all my fellow Jewish reptile keepers to avoid lighting candles in the same room as a reptile!
Even the smoke from small Hanukkah candles can be very dangerous for reptiles, especially hatchlings and juveniles. Reptiles can’t cough, so any smoke they breathe in stays in their lungs and can cause respiratory illness very quickly. It’s less dangerous on the first night when you’ve only got two candles going, but by night eight, it can be a recipe for disaster! This is true if you have an oil-based chanukkiah, too!
To keep your pet reptiles safe and healthy, make sure you always light your chanukkiah in another part of the house, and keep your reptiles out of the room while your Hanukkah candles are burning.
!חג אורים שמח
Hanukkah is almost here! If you have a pet reptile, please take a moment to think about a safe place to light your candles where your pet won’t be exposed to them.
And very much birds too! They are sensitive little creatures to any sort of fume, smoke, essential oil etc!
ONEOF MY BOSSES DECIDED TO COME OUT AS SHE/THEY AT TONIGHTS OFFICE PARTY BUT I SH

Since horses are prey animals they are very cautious naturally and will “spook” (shy away or take off running) from something that looks strange and potentially dangerous.
By running around and acting bizarre, the horse gets used to unfamiliar movements and mannerisms. They’ll be able to sit and think “wow that’s fucking weird” when they see a human crawling up rather than “Jesus fuck it’s possessed run away”- which is good!
Police may also feign kettles in order to cause a protest to disperse.
Protests that move quickly are harder to kettle (but are easier to split up as people get left behind).
Something important to note is that kettles are used by police to gather intelligence. Police may tell you that you will be allowed to leave if you provide your name and your address, if you give information about other protestors etc. Police can and will lie to you, do not trust them. Never talk to cops.
Being trapped in a kettle is stressful. Police may decide to arrest a few of you or all of you. Their goal is to gather information and to demoralize you. They might threaten or harass you. Your goal is to remain calm and to help the people around you remain calm. Remember if nobody talks, everyone walks.
I know I sound like your mom but you kids need to stop fucking vaping
ok sometimes posts like this are frustrating even tho they’re well meaning! it is REALLY HARD to kick a nicotine addiction, and saying “just stop bc it’s bad for you” is sometimes not helpful. here are some strategies that have worked for me and my friends to help you get started:
LOLLIPOPS OR A WATER BOTTLE WITH A STRAW!!! the oral fixation is real and these will help. keep these with you especially in triggering spots (if you always vape when you drive, keep some in your car)
if possible, use lower percentage pods (3% instead of 5 or 6%) for a week before you quit to help curb some physical effects when you do quit
pick a time when you have a few days where you won’t be around people who you know vape, whether that’s friends or fam
sunflower seeds sometimes help when your craving, or sour candy
make a list to look at of all the reasons that you’re quitting that will be positive effects of quitting RIGHT AWAY. lung cancer should be a deterrent but sometimes if you don’t feel the immediate payoff it’s not helpful when cravings are bad. ex of reasons: vaping is giving u bad teeth, bad breath, bad skin, headaches and nausea, isolating you from people you love, fucking your sleep schedule up, making you anxious, making it harder to complete physical activity, PREVENTING SAVING MONEY, etc
these won’t help everyone but it’s helped me a lot
Remember! shame doesn’t help people quit physical addictions and if you make a mistake you can always keep trying. quitting is a process and takes time, but it’s SO worth it in the long run <3
“Profits for companies in some of the world’s largest economies rose by 30% between 2019 and 2022, significantly outpacing inflation, according to the group’s research of 1,350 firms across the U.S., the U.K., Europe, Brazil, and South Africa.”
I was gonna make a sarcastic comment, but then I remembered studies are there to provide concrete evidence of common knowledge. And thank you for the word “greedflation”
You’ll find a lot of what we’re told are market forces out of companies’ control is complete lies. In reality their decisions are a voluntary result of cost-benefit analysis and not the invisible hand of the market. Like how companies say they “have to” lower wages or raise product prices.
I think we should bring back that thing everyone did in 2014 where you badly photoshop two characters from entirely different media together to look like they’re in love. This is my proposal for doc ock x glados please consider
It’s a horse girl movie but they both think the other is the horse
283,000 likes………giant meteor strike the earth rn holy shit. oh my god.
“maybe it’s not your pussy” is such a funny phrase and also correct. People wonder why chores are so hard and it’s like, friends we used to have a whole intergenerational team on this and now Grandma is locked in a beige box. Cooking is hard.
Reblog the problem is capitalism and not your pussy
Group of friends who are close because they all have the same superpower except no they don’t.
As in, they all think the other ones have the same superpower as them, but, in fact, they do not.
For example:
Time traveler who always is running into these other people who seem to know what’s going on or what will happen and is so happy he can finally share his travel stories.
Precognitive who is relieved he isn’t the only one with the gift and who is glad to get help averting future disasters.
Mind reader with a horrible memory who tries to stay on top of things by skimming surface thoughts. You want to talk about next week’s election results and how they changed the next decade? She’s with you.
Totally normal guy who thinks the others have the absolute best bit ever and loves playing along.
They save the world at least twice without a single clue shared between the four of them.
didn’t wanna derail the last post with it but in general most trans people don’t give a shit about minor mistakes. you can slip up and use the wrong pronouns or a gendered term and go “oh my bad” and 99% of the time that’s where the problem begins and ends. no one is out there screaming “did you just assume my gender?!” because, like, yea. you probably did. shit happens. it’s when you make a massive deal out of it, kick your heels and insist that actually “dude” is completely gender neutral or you’re trying your best so everyone should just shut up ect ect that things become a problem. but every single person who does the latter insists it was the former and that everyone is making a big fuss about a mistake when in reality they’ve misgendered someone 10 times in a row and made no attempt to correct themself.
So the banner ad didn’t scale down for the mobile browser and it took me multiple minutes to realize that this stock photo of people in business suits was not, in fact, an illustration of what oathbreaker paladins in service to an evil power are supposed to look like
it’s crazy that they do the ‘taking off glasses makeover’ or whatever thing in movies when real life is always like someone you see everyday wears glasses once and is suddenly incredibly hot
