i think any conversation regarding banning tiktok that insists tiktok is actually a force for good misses the point

it doesn’t matter if tiktok is the next library of alexandria or if it sucks shit, the problem is that the US government shouldn’t have the authority to limit americans’ access to the internet so dramatically. the problem is other social media corporations lobbying to ban their opponents. the problem is pretending data harvesting is just fine as long as we’re the ones doing it, diverting attention away from how companies like facebook have already harvest and sold way more data than tiktok could ever dream of collecting for the chinese government.

Once you become a certain age, it is your responsibility to unlearn behaviors that hinder your growth as a person.

Man I cannot stress this enough. The “this is how I am, take it or leave it” attitude is an act of immaturity. We all have toxic traits that we need to work on and as an adult it’s our responsibility to recognize the damage that they can do to the ones we love. We all need to put in more effort in becoming better individuals.

“aborted fetuses are not technically lives and it’s harmful and not medically accurate to refer to them that way” and “people who have early miscarriages of wanted pregnancies are still allowed to grieve and consider them their child” are two statements that can and should coexist

You wouldn’t think that flamingoes are extremophiles just from looking at them. It’s like somebody tried to build the vertebrate equivalent of that fungus that lives inside nuclear reactors, and ended up with a gangly pink dinosaur with a spoon for a face.

For everyone in the comments asking how flamingos are extremophiles:

Flamingos can survive in low oxygen, high altitude, high temperatures, low temperatures, high alkaline, they can and will drink boiling water and they can be completely frozen at night and still get up the next morning

Don’t fuck with flamingos

….. Didn’t know most of that

Huh… so that’s why zoos don’t put them somewhere warm during winter.

Oh yeah, this leaves out what I *did* know about them–they can also survive hypersalinity. That is, water so salty it kills practically everything else–water so salty it burns your skin.

American flamingos just drink that shit

(animal death) this is a real undoctored photograph (*though the body was stood up for the shot) of a dead flamingo on the surface of lake natron, a lake so salty and so alkaline that it’s naturally carbonated like soda and would eat through your stomach lining if you drank from it.

When this photo went viral years ago, most people assumed this poor flamingo must have been killed by the lake.

It is actually the lake where 75% of its global population are hatched. This is a photo from the same lake:

Some species of flamingo actually subsist almost entirely on a diet of bacteria! In other words, there is a species of dinosaur that eats only bacteria and lives in lakes so toxic they would kill almost anything else—and it is best known to the average person as a kitschy lawn decoration.

Earth is an amazing place.

Anyways the queer community isn’t just what’s on the internet. You’ll find transgender people who call themselves transsexuals because that’s what they called themselves 40 years ago, you’ll find bisexual women who have been in the lesbian community since before bisexual women were forced to make their own community, you’ll find gay men who call themselves femmes, you’ll find trans women who were drag queens for decades before calling themselves trans women (and still are drag queens). The queer community is big and colourful and beautiful and doesn’t have set boxes, and it never should.

happy 1 year to this post. its never leaving my notifs huh

hot take uh

dont get mad at trans ppl for using the “wrong”/out of date terminology to describe their own experiences like

if a trans dude says “back when i was a girl” or “i was born in the wrong body” just. let them. if they feel it describes their experiences the best, then it’s good for them

as long as theyre not using it to describe other people who may not be comfortable with, it’s ok

THIS. i have had people correct me when i say things like “back when i was a girl.” say things like “no, you were never a girl, you just didn’t know it at that time.”

you are not the arbiter of my lived experience.

i know who i was then. don’t tell me i wasn’t because it doesn’t fit the narrative you want it to. it’s not your damn narrative.
