I feel like it only took a few weeks for plastic straws to get banned in certain cities. We as a country go absolutely apeshit if someone suggests that we should cool it with all the plastic bags and bottles, but that plastic straw stuff got pushed through pretty quickly.

What fell conspiracy was behind all that? Is there some paper straw manufacturer in Washington State cackling at their fat stacks of dough now that people in Seattle have had their access to plastic straws curtailed?

Not enough love for short king, Rick Moranis, who cashed out of Hollywood after playing a series of mad scientist fathers.

forced sterilizations of Native children only stopped in 1970.

And that's because the fucking office for Native Rights was only then discovered to be sneaking in and sterilizing babies before giving them to their mothers to go home.

White queers aren't the only fucking queer people on this damn website.

Stop speaking over other queer people.

White queers are still white. And still have to overcome internalized racism and bullshit. Being queer does not erase how they're white.

Stop acting like your queerness means you can speak above POC or indigenous people.

And stop using your queer card when you get called out for racism.

Be a fucking adult and own up to when you say something shitty.

I'm done with y'all.

fun fact: chinese wheelbarrows are far more technologically advanced than european ones. like, you put them side by side & it looks like the europeans don't understand how levers work, it's embarrassing.

and there's a neat story about why!

A 4 year degree attained after 7 years is still a degree. Graduation at 50 is still a graduation. A business started at 65 is still a business. It's okay to start over and it's okay to run at your own pace. Everyone works based on their time zone. You are very much on time.❤
