ITS GREAT LAKES AWARENESS DAY!!!!!

On this excellent day, be aware that this is the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world, covering over 95,000 square miles and reaching depths of over a thousand feet. They are beautiful freshwater seas.

Also when you die in these lakes, the very cold, oxygen-poor conditions at the bottom preserves you perfectly for all eternity. You will not rot and nothing will eat you. You will exist for as long as the Great Lakes do. Many shipwrecks still have the crew on board. Be Aware.

#they call it Lake Superior for a reason 😎 #hm actually I should probably learn what indigenous peoples call it #probably ojibwe and ashinaabe?

The occupation actually enters and invades the Rafah crossing. I appeal to your consciences to leave me a sum of money via the link to my wallet on PayPal. You are the only hope for me and my husband.

I think people online need to go to the store and have the healing experience of making a silly mistake when some other stranger is around and you both look at eachother and chuckle. It without fail restores a little humanity

new states just dropped and white supremacist sharks live there

hey reminder to continue boycotting eurovision and instead turn your eyes on gaza where the last media outlet al jazeera has just been shut down so that Israel can launch its attack on the most densely populated area in the world without scrutiny. Dont stop talking about Palestine

#no offense but fuck your pop songs right now #I watched Eurovision for the first time and Israel being in it didn’t sit right w me #bc when the fuck was it Europe #it’s just the colonialist state in SWANA #why not literally any other SWANA country?? hmm?? yall know why

Hey, fellow Americans? Who probably have more internalized anti-Muslim propaganda than we realize? Read this.

“The Palestinian people are one people, made up of all Palestinians, inside and outside of Palestine, irrespective of their religion, culture or political affiliation.”

It goes on to describe Palestine following the beliefs of Islam because it preaches tolerance of other religions. Not the scary “ooo Islamic state” we’ve all been fed about xyz SWANA country/group/party.

Joe Biden makes a speech saying Hamas are driven by the ancient desire to eliminate Jews. Hamas was created in 1987, Joe. Ain’t nothing ancient about them. So unless you are implying that Palestinians are driven by the ancient desire to wipe out Jews which is KKK cross burning level of racism, you might want to tone down the racist bullhorn that you are mistaken for a dog whistle.

#Palestine #some of this might not be news to folks but like #wow I’m realizing just HOW MUCH bullshit I’ve been fed my whole life

Ai Weiwei, “Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn,” 1995

An astonishingly irreverent piece of work.  This triptych features the artist dropping a Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD) in three photographs.  

When questioned about the work, he suggested that the piece was about industry: “[The urn] was industry then and is industry now.”  His statement, therefore, was that the urn was just a cheap pot two thousand years ago, and the reverence we feel toward it is artificial.  One critic wrote: “In other words, for all the aura of preciousness acquired by the accretion of time (and skillful marketing), this vessel is the Iron Age equivalent of a flower pot from K-Mart and if one were to smash the latter a few millennia from now, would it be an occasion for tears?”

However, the not-so-subtle political undertone is clear.  This piece was about destroying the notion that everything that is old is good…including the traditions and cultures of China.  For Ai Weiwei, this triptych represents a moment in which culture suddenly shifts (sometimes violently), shattering the old and outdated to make room for the new.  

#that’s actually fucking amazing

do you all remember in the early 2010s where people were talking about freeing the nipple and that mixed-gender sports should become a thing and the removal of period tax and all of that and then some people realised that would mean trans people too ans they instantly decided to revert to bioessentialism 101 and now i have to see grating sentences like Well maybe jeopardy should be gender-segregated because males have a biological advantage in pressing a button

I think if these people went to a gay bar and saw the age gaps between two consenting men, their brain would explode 

I wish age gap discourse hadn't spiraled the way it has because I want there to be a safe space to say "Men in their 40s who date 25 year olds aren't predators, they're just fucking losers"

#‘these people’ being the first responder to OP #even though the discussion turned very focused on assuming the college grad was a woman #And misogyny ties into 40-year-old men dating only 25-year-old women being accurately fuckin loser
