Tech bros who think digital is forever and that uploading your consciousness to a computer is immortality crack me up. Like bro, you'd be "immortal" on the computer for like a year until your own company sends out some software update that makes you incompatible and whoops, there goes TechBro.soul into the great Recycling Bin in the sky

Loving reminder from your land history auntie:

North American golf courses have had 50-100 years of arsenic and mercury based fungicide and herbicides applied to their soils.

Do not eat anything that has been grown on a golf course or downstream from a golf course. I know it sounds cool and radical, but you are too valuable to poison yourself with heavy metals.

Protect each other, turn your local golf course into a pollinator garden, not a sex forest or community garden.

Not to be a Boomer but your social media should be your own space, not something employers are allowed to look at to judge you beyond the qualifications stated in your resume and cover letter

I reinterated to my dad about how different my sister's and my upbringing's were. He said he beleived me, but he wasn't sure how/where.

Well, I've thought on it a bit.

It comes from my sister being bragged about to others in their social circle for being in honors/AP classes, and when I was in the same classes, not.

It comes from getting disciplined for getting into fights with my sister... while she didn't even though she baited me.

It comes from being held to the same standards as my neurotypical sister even though my adhd brain is literally incapable of it.

people telling you they reread your fic is the biggest compliment you could ever receive. there are thousands of stories out there begging to be found, to be explored, but your story meant so much to someone that they came back to it eagerly, they went over every word again. to love is to return and loving a fic is rereading it. thank you to all readers and rereaders <3333

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Hey, amidst the chaos of... everything on the internet, pay attention to Hawaii/Hawai'i!

There have been plans from a non Hawaiian organisation to build a 5 acre parking lot, 13 lot subdivision and a comfort station for tourists on the ridge of the sacred Pololū Valley!

This project doesn't acknowledge Pololū Valley as a wahi pāna (a celebrated and storied place in the cultural traditions of Hawaii/Hawai'i) and instead treats it as just plain land that can be sold to a highest bidder.

Pololū Valley is anything but that.

So please sign the petition to stop this project! As of writing this, 883,470 people have, but we need more!

Petition to protect Pololū Valley

Reblog to reach more people, please! Don't just like and move on, sign the petition and make sure more people see this!

Also leaving this here since today is the Remembrance Day for victims of the Anfal genocide.

Where Saddam Hussein (with the help of the MEK) and his cronies slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Kurds and Assyrians (and other minorities) in Iraq near the end of the Iran-Iraq war.

I posted about it earlier this year not too long ago.

Feel free to reblog.

A lot of us with chronic pain often hear invalidating things like “but you look fine” or “if you’re in so much pain, why are you doing things?”

And the thing is… at some point, we’ve realized this is our reality. There was likely a lot of grieving, anger and other feelings (those feelings likely still come back time to time) and we’ve got to a point where we’ve realized that our “good days” will be a lot of people’s bad days. That pain is our normal. And we need to keep going on living our lives.

Also important to note that people get tired of you being in pain. It sucks but it happens and because of that, a lot of us have gotten used to “hiding” our pain.

My point is that just because you can’t “see” our pain doesn’t mean it isn’t real and those little comments you may think are harmless can be invalidating and dismissive.

the problem with reading and writing leading to a strong vocabulary is that you tend to know the vibe of words instead of their meanings.

if I used this word in a sentence, would it make sense? absolutely. if you asked me what it meant, could I tell you? absolutely not.
