i got into ecology because i want to make the world better and now it seems like the left can’t decide if they love or hate this entire field of science. so that’s neat.
you can criticize how eurocentric/western-centric this field is without trashing the whole science of ecology or deciding that mainstays of this field of science are in fact ecofascist bs
look. i spent a good chunk of my time in my ecology courses thinking about how eurocentric this field is, how most of my class was white, how this science is rarely inclusive of local indigenous communities and their traditional methods of land management, etc.
there are valid criticisms of ecology as a science is what i’m saying.
BUT you can’t just look at ecological concepts and theories as if you as a non-expert in this field have any authority to say they’re all bs. ecologists and environmental scientists are literally all that stands between us and a very fucked up future (or in many cases, a very fucked up present! remember that many places are already being affected by climate change) so idk maybe do your best to not encourage people to be skeptical of ecology/environmental science.
I am so serious when I say that now is the time to take your activism offline. I am not spending the next four years squabbling on social media or getting woke points by reblogging posts that my followers already agree with. There are real places in your offline community where you can do good if you seek them out
crazy timing to be seeing this post on the dash. the girl pictured in this post, cydney, was recently diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at age 28.
her sister ciara @bubblemaximus is an amazing artist i’ve followed on twitter for almost a decade. i don’t know either of them personally, but i’ve essentially followed both their lives for a long time and felt very affected by this sudden news.
ciara posted a gofundme for cydney’s medical expenses and if this silly, certified iconic post just happens to be going back around, then i’d be remiss not to share the link:
Wow, never thought I would see this post again! This is my sister , Cyd! I took these photos of her years ago! She’s currently battling Stage 3 breast cancer. If any of you could help her out, it would be greatly appreciated!
being an archaeologist in tumblr is so funny because I see so many text posts and go. Imperialism pre-dates capitalism. Rebellion against empires pre-dates capitalism. Money pre-dates capitalism. Social inequality pre-dates capitalism. Misogyny pre-dates capitalism. Wealth inequality pre-dates capitalism. Unilateral rule by oppressive rulers pre-dates capitalism. People’s dependence on their job for their survival pre-dates capitalism. Capitalism as an economic system is about 200-250 years old max but these problems are much, much older, and capitalism supports, entrenches, or exacerbates many of these problems… doesn’t mean it invented them and doesn’t mean they will simply cease to be problems After Capitalism.

my cat Meatball’s hanukkah sweater started kinda coming off, so my girlfriend went to fix it, and as she did so she said to him, in her most tender and maternal voice, “aww, is your shirt coming off? whore”
2018 Grinch has no edge. He’s got no bite. He’s not even that much of an asshole. He’s just a sassy gay furry with unusually nice teeth despite his famous theme song declaring otherwise.
1966 Grinch? Now that was a mean, scary bastard. He was a crusty old fuck who hated society so much that he only came off his shitty frozen mountain to commit crimes and terrorism out of spite.
Bennyhoo Cumberland Grinch comes down from his mountain to buy groceries.
You can round the edges off a character to make them more “relatable” or whatever, but you also run the risk of losing what defined them in the first place. The end result is bland and generic.
2018 Grinch is a reflection of modern society’s rejection of real character flaws in the interest of being “unproblematic” and in this essay i will
What was your opinion on the Jim Carrey grinch?
Jim Carrey Grinch said bitch, ate glass and threw a whole child in the garbage. He is an absolute champ and the only rightful heir to the throne.
Last week, it emerged that health insurance leaders pressured the DOJ to bring federal charges against Luigi Mangione. This week, I discovered the top 3 officials at DOJ all collected paychecks from healthcare companies before serving in government: shorturl.at/lgLIU
