"Anthropologists gradually fanned out into the world and began directly observing how economies where money was not used (or anyway, not used for everyday transactions) actually worked.

What they discovered was an at first bewildering variety of arrangements, ranging from competitive gift-giving to communal stockpiling to places where economic relations centered on neighbors trying to guess each other’s dreams. What they never found was any place, anywhere, where economic relations between members of community took the form economists predicted: “I’ll give you twenty chickens for that cow.”

Hence in the definitive anthropological work on the subject, Cambridge anthropology professor Caroline Humphrey concludes, “No example of a barter economy, pure and simple, has ever been described, let alone the emergence from it of money; all available ethnography suggests that there never has been such a thing”"

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
Come on and slam, and welcome
To the Space Jam

oh you're a polycule?
which of you is speed

hey, all! we're working on a project and were wondering if anybody here had suggestions regarding:

• things parents of autistic kids need to know (to be better parents)

thanks either way, and we hope your day goes well

tired: it's not selfless if you benefit from the action
wired: it's not selfish if the community benefits from the action

theres a very strong through-line in liberal politics that the midwest is just 100% inhabited by stupid violent racists and thus should be avoided and disregarded whenever possible, and like, 1) no, 2) saying "oh well they deserve it" is not a valid reason to leave entire communities to rot

i still think that for all intents and purposes, the us treats midwestern states like a third world country

love language: telling your partners 'we should date'

one of two things needs to happen
1) white trans people need to get more than 5 names for their gender
2) white trans people #onhere need to think ther'es more than one person in the world with each first name and not immedaitely assume someone talking about someone with a first name is someone they know/hate when its not

adhd culture a: starting lists with a number and forgetting what you started it with, 2: lapsing into an anecdote halfway through, or also like hey remember that time when

Hey all you gems and gods; who's trembling in your presence today?
