Never not thinking about the trans woman I met in a gay bar in a town I’ll never go back to who said “gender roles are like chains, fun to use in bondage scenarios but largely irrelevant in daily life”

“xyz DNI” blocking people is YOUR job, sorry. You cannot ask the world to simply move around you, you have to take control of your online experience or you will be fucking miserable forever. Most people don’t read your bio/pinned/carrd before touching the posts that cross their dash anyways.
Also maybe worry less about if someone who likes something you hate clicks on your tumblr post. I promise it is not that fucking serious.
Also-also if you have this DNI because your friends/moots said or implied you have to otherwise you’re somehow Bad and/or will be punished by them if you don’t, that’s kind of fucked and maybe you need less controlling friends.
I know you feel ethically helpless on this bitch of an earth but I promise you, telling people with certain fetishes or god forbid media interests not to interact with your posts is doing less than nothing to make the world any different, but it IS stressing you the fuck out to be worried about if the clicks you get on the internet are coming from someone who likes to imagine The Wrong Fictional Characters kissing.
For the love of god, shipping is not that fucking important. I promise you, whatever the fuck you think you know about someone based on what they ship can be determined by the shit they actually do in the real world about real things that actually happen.
Media consumption is not activism and fandom is not the battleground upon which Ethics And Morals will live or die. It is playing pretend. Please please please get some perspective

reminder that adhd medication isn’t a luxury or preference, but a lifesaving medication. a 10 year long study in the usa showed that, when properly medicated, the rate of car crashes people with adhd get into goes down significantly–men’s rate drops by 38%, and women’s by 42%. the med shortage, denial of meds by doctors, rising prices, and war on drugs has killed–with such a car dependent society, not driving frequently isn’t an option, which means we need better healthcare and need it now.
Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has ordered preparations for the annexation of the occupied West Bank ahead of US President-elect Donald Trump taking office in January 2025.
In a statement on Monday, Smotrich voiced his hope that the new administration in Washington will recognise Israel’s push for “sovereignty” over the occupied territory.
“There are almost no Palestinians remaining in a vast area stretching east from Ramallah to the outskirts of Jericho. Most of the communities who lived in the area — which covers around 150,000 dunams, or 150 square kilometers, of the occupied West Bank — have fled for their lives in recent months as a result of intensifying Israeli settler violence and land seizures, backed by the Israeli army and state institutions.
The near-total emptying of the region’s Palestinian population shows how Israel’s slow but gradual process of ethnic cleansing is continuing apace, effectively annexing large swathes of the occupied territory for exclusive Jewish settlement.” […]

a few days ago, I have found gunshot fish (it would be funny if gunshot fish was its common name since it doesn’t have one yet)
(it says I visit often)
this fish 1.2 cm in length can make 140 dB sounds (by striking its own swim bladder with its rib, if I understood correctly)
but due to how sound works and also how water affects sound it would be less louder from a distance
but still loud
they say specialized ribs and muscles allow the fish to not instantly die when it makes the sound, but I haven’t found much detailed explanation on how exactly they help the fish not shock itself to death with the sound
pistol shrimps have these funny organs called orbital hoods that serve as helmets to protect themselves from their own shockwaves made when they snap their claws, preventing brain damage. but I don’t see any possible organs in this fish that could shield itself from its own noise.
maybe it’s unnecessary because the pistol shrimp’s noise is much louder than D. cerebrum’s, at 210 dB but I still think 140 dB is still dangerous enough for a fish smaller than a penny (also this fish is smaller than most pistol shrimps)
when you are making and reading posts about dire predictions for quality of life, do not forget about reservations.
we already have issues accessing clean water. we already experience devastation from climate change. we are already going missing for our race. we are already being murdered for our culture.
it will only get worse.
it’s possible to live through. every single person indigenous to north america has a chance to live through this. i’m not trying to fear monger; i’m trying to remind you.
please do not forget about us when you assure people that “everything will be okay; people are living under far worse circumstances in other countries”.
people are living under far worse circumstances here. and it can get worse. and it will get worse. and we need you to remember that we’re here when it happens.
not as punchy, but adding onto this:
What are Indigenous issues that I and the Natives I know are worried about?
- Pipelines affecting water
- Pipelines destroying protected land/land under treaty
- Pipelines are already factually epicenters of the MMIW+ crisis
- Substance abuse and suicide rates
- Directly related to the above, IHS funding
- Tariffs affecting gaming revenue, which is often used significantly in our communities’ funding
- Not a huge systemic issue, but a bummer: no more Native secretary of the interior
- ICWA. holy fuck. ICWA.
- The DoE only being allowed to teach sanitized genocide-denial schlock.
