Hey Tumblr fam! We need to have a serious talk about food waste. Did you know that wasting food also means wasting the resources that went into producing it? 💧🌱 Here are some ways you can help:
Store leftovers: Use airtight containers to extend the life of your food.
Composting: Turn your food scraps into something useful.
Meal planning: A little planning goes a long way in reducing waste.
Let's be the change we want to see in the world! 🌍
I've never minded the term aesthetic. But I do agree that fast fashion needs to be put to a stop, that it's ruining the true definition of cultures and subcultures such as goth, punk, grunge and even turning people's cultures into aesthetics which I think is entirely inappropriate for them to make a claim on.
I believe alt subcultures are so much more than a trend. I got into gothic music and even emo music, I've always liked both. When I was in middle school. I liked the music, the literature, dark things before I even found the fashion and fell in love with it.
I've always been an eco warrior, anti capitalist etc. And found that my true self was goth. I can like things that aren't goth. It doesn't make me less goth. But that's the difference between someone whose in a subculture and someone whose doing it for the trend.
I always say be who you are, truly and authentically. Don't hide behind what's trending.
I have no hate towards the word aesthetic itself. But I do see the harm in what capitalism has done using aesthetic culture.
And can I just say, it was absolutely my favorite movie of the year!
Imagine my surprise when the silly shark movie turned out to be about Jason Statham being an Eco Warrior trying to save the planet.
In the first movie, he's the best diver on the planet. But in this one? Eco Warrior James Bond going on reckless missions to stop illegal waste dumping and go on cool scientific dive missions to explore the ocean.
Also! The opening scene and all the Meg/dinosaur scenes were so cool! Makes me want more dinosaur movies. Also. Megs! Are! So! Cool!
The movie was so silly and fun. It was like smooshing together an action adventure with an ocean horror and throwing in some spy shit.
I could watch 5 more of these.
Like, if they did more. What other action hero Eco Warrior shit is Jason gonna do? Clean up trash in the Pacific? Save Polar Bears? Kill guys who cut down the rainforest? I hope so!
If you can. Please watch the Meg 2! Its so much fun!
(Also, no spoilers. But it really seemed like the two old men were in love. That girl has two dads.)
I feel like Goemon puts his heist money toward environmental protections, helping endangered animals, and whatever eco things he’s into (he has some still stashed away obviously but he wants to make sure he’s chipping in to something he cares about)
Sad little textless Namor comic in Excalibur #33. (Credits in the first pic.)
I’m tempted to hunt the issue just for these little pages… I love everything in this : the manta pet, the ankle wings galore, the pollution-makes-him-sad Namor, the baby-bird saving... Aaawwww. T.T
It was an ignominious trudge for the surveyors as they were urged, hands bound behind their backs, down jungle trails they barely knew, by the women of the Feminist Forest Collective. Particularly when it began to rain. “How much longer, you witch?” Frederico, more used to crouching in front of a computer screen than getting soaked in the Brazilian rain forest, whined miserably to Alicia, the eco-warrior who had captured him. Jenny, prodding her taciturn captive along the path overheard Frederico’s complaint. “Men!” she remarked with a laugh. “They come across so tough but have no willpower whatsoever!” Alicia smiled over at the other woman. “Too right, Jen,” she agreed, “I think my boy might be worried about getting his hair wet!” Alicia giggled. “My guy is more the strong and silent type!” she replied. “Thankfully!”
Meanwhile Stefano was having a slightly more constructive discussion with his guards. “So what do you mean we are going to be social media stars?” he asked the two women sulkily. The activists smiled mysteriously. “We’re making a movie!” came the enigmatic reply.
Enrico and Olivia had finally reached the clearing where the show was to take place. Enrico’s eyes burned with shame and anger as he realised the female activists and set up a series of fixed and portable video cameras in the open area. “As leader of the gang, would you like to go first?” Olivia asked her prisoner with an ironic twinkle in her eyes. “What are you on about, whore?” demanded the humiliated man bitterly. The head of the Collective ignored the resentful man’s insult. “Well, what better way to illustrate JBS’ illegal operations in this protected part of the forest,” she replied, “than to film the transgressors and the consequences of their actions?” Enrico’s eyes widening. “You are going to film us? Like this?” the outraged man fumed and indicated his tied wrists. “Of course!” Olivia laughed. “That is the whole point!”

Imagine if Daxter was actually Mar the entire time, and everyone just thought it was Jak, Daxter included
no this is actually so funny to me because Daxter is already a precursor
& yet everyone spends the whole series calling him a muskrat or mistaking him for a 'horribly sick little bird' or just straight-up being like 'this is a rat'
meanwhile Daxter is walking around having been reincarnated as a god, riding on the shoulder of Frankenstein's monster whose veins are full of battery acid and radioactive isotopes & Daxter is just totally unaffected by it all. literally just vibing while the guy whose shoulder he rides on periodically explodes into a lightning storm of dark matter
daxter has never heard of a toxic substance he couldn't go swimming in 😌
& YET, everyone is still like '... that's a rat'
so the thought of Daxter being the long-lost heir to the throne & Jak being Just Some Guy is literally comedy gold
hes pretty much like any neurodivergent kid who is neglected by a system that isnt made for him. hes "obtuse" (good word heh) because he wasnt really socialized by anyone for the first 12 years of his life, and the majority of the social interactions he did have were violent. as a result hes constantly on the defensive in his mind, which used to stop him from being able to calmly process information. hes gotten way better recently though now that hes older and people treat him better. so why do people think hes stupid? because he doesnt really demonstrate intelligence in the way people expect.
naruto learns things by relating them to the natural/instinctual world around him. go back and read the chapters where hes figuring out the rasengan for a good example. that also means he doesnt really retain information well if he cant see it as immediately useful. in our daily life he pretty much does everything around the house since he acquires random skills like its nothing. the other day he took apart a phone charger and reconfigured it so i could charge my phone using chidori, for example. he knew how to do that because in the past on a drunk night we were trying to see if i could power a lightbulb with chidori, then we tried with some other stuff too for comparison.
i know if we got stuck on a deserted island, hes smart enough that i know i'd be in good hands. the only thing i think hes really dumb for is that idiotic belief of his that his life is worth less than others. i really dont want to lose him to such a stupid idea.
