One: a Nazi promotes her own speech about The Great Replacement (core Nazi doctrine)

Two: Musk promotes the post and says the problem with [Nazi doctrine] is that it doesn’t center enough in [Nazi historical doctrine]

Three: my ex-boss and automattic and Tumblr CEO jumps in to recommend Elon a book about [Nazi doctrine]

So yeah, my ex-boss seems to be full in the movement.

Now let me remind you about this thing called reality:

  • US population grew 0.4% last year
  • EU population grew 0.1% last year
  • World Population? +0.8%

None of those figures has gone under 0 in the last 50 years (and probably before, I just don’t want to look for more data). The population collapse the are talking about is about WHITE population. If someone talks about population decline, they are a white supremacist.

Good fucking grief.

To be more clear, this is the population evolution of my very white, very European country in the last century:

(though I guess for Musk & co it may not even be white and only sightly European)

Population collapse my white European ass, Elon.

Uh oh, gang. Fucking, uh oh.

"The secret invisible light we cannot directly perceive creates beautiful vaguely rune-like shaped on the religiously significant appendages of an otherwise mundane animal" yeah get out of here, tone down the fantasy vibes a little bit, that's too much. Oh wait that's reality? ... Well then.

It's probably been said in the notes, but this isn't a natural UV color! This is a racing stamp lighting up under UV, which means this little guy is a racing pigeon!

Here's Martha, the winning bird from the 2017 Arona Derby

And a more complex stamp in normal colors:

The stamps are used to verify the pigeons before and after, with a fairly complicated matching process in some cases

Which is understandable! Some of these birds are worth thousands of dollars, and winning the races can also be worth thousands of dollars. In fact, the most expensive bird, and I mean most expensive period across all species, was a racing pigeon sold for over a million dollars!

So maybe not natural but certainly still cool!

When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then?

Take a 2 minute break and read this:

Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.

You are really tired and frustrated. All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.

Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..

Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.

How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.

1. But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.

2. Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment

3. Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.

4. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.

Reblogging this, because it is helpful information, BUT, with a couple of additions and caveats. First, this:

And then this:

And yes, as you get older, these are things you actually start thinking about, and worrying about, so I always try to stay informed.

Important for younger people too!! I was in my 30's, sitting in a waiting room, feeling sorry for myself because I was the youngest person at the cardiologist's. Then a kid who couldn't have been more than 16 walked in....

One of the most dangerous mistakes people make about their health is believing that a health problem doesn't happen to people "their age".

help! I'm stranded in another country following a bomb threat without the money to pay for a hotel room for the night

following a bomb threat on the Turks and Caicos airports, me and my mom are stranded for the night - sleeping in the airport is not an option because they are closed because of the threats from alt right extremists following several Americans facing prison time for bringing ammunition to the country.

a room is $300 and that's our only option - I don't have nearly enough to pay that amount. the airport will only secure us a room but it's our responsibility to pay for it.

please help me out - I don't think really have any other options.

Lord I see what you have done for others. Get me out of this state !

Me and my boyfriend (butch) are finally leaving Texas for Washington in June, we have everything planned out but we desperately need funding to secure housing once we get up there, and money for the 3000 mile drive from here to there

Please reblog and share!

Donations have stagnated! We posted our first update today, and will keep updating throughout the next two months. We're aiming to leave Texas by the 20th of June, which is close to when our lease ends. Please keep reblogging!

"How are things going in Texas?" you might ask, well let me tell you, its fucking bad!

Both of us work in education and are already running the risk of being harassed or worse by parents for being who we are, and now our governor, fascist that he is, wants to end our ability to work the jobs we hold.

On top of this, if you didn't see my original tags, two weeks ago someone spraypainted the words "kill all gay people" on the side of the liquor store less than a quarter mile down the road from us. It is becoming more and more unsafe here by the day.

Please help us leave, every dollar adds up. We currently have enough to cover gas and a bit of food, we've sold a significant portion of our belongings to keep ourselves afloat in the meantime

More stories from hell (retail) today I was ringing up this lady and she goes oh I want to do part of this on a gift card and the rest on normal card and I go ok and then she hands me a folded piece of paper. I think oh OK it must be folded around the gift card, right? Wrong. It is a folded sheet of 8×11 printer paper with "$40" written on the inside in ballpoint pen. I go what is this. She says a gift card. I say this is not a gift card. She says yes it is. I say this is a piece of paper with "$40" written on it. She says "well it's a gift card." I say it absolutely is not. I am grinding my teeth. She says well I want to use it. I say you physically cannot do that bc it is a piece of paper. I cannot scan or swipe it. I apologize, as if this is my fault, and not because she is completely insane. I hate it here

It's been a hot second since the last time I cried tears of true rage but damn if I didn't come close today

My coworkers were like wow how are you still in a good mood after that my brother in christ after that interaction I went to the break room and took an extra adderall

HI EVERYONE OP HERE I QUIT THIS JOB TODAY

A 28-year-old motorcyclist died in Washington State on Friday afternoon because a dipshit Tesla driver rear-ended him at speed. A Snohomish man, 56, was commuting in his 2022 Tesla Model S when he activated the car’s camera-based advanced driver assist system and according to his statements to police, began looking through his phone. With nobody paying attention to the car’s actions, the Tesla software ignored Jeffrey Nissen on his motorcycle and continued on at speed. The car rear-ended the two-wheeler, Nissen was flung from the bike, and his life ended pinned underneath the electric car, where he was still lodged when police arrived to the scene.

Tesla claims another life.

Reminder that even if you are personally aware of how dangerous Tesla vehicles are and vow to never ride in one, they can still kill you.

My own driving habits have changed around them. I always give Teslas extra space, avoid following them directly, and expect them to stop or swerve suddenly without notice.

Cannot count the times I've pulled up next to a Tesla at freeway speed, noticed the driver playing on their phone. Tap the horn. They look up with surprise.

Please, don't be that guy.

i sent this meme to 7 people, and 4 of them asked me to translate for them. i legitimately do not think that was necessary.

“As a chemical engineering Ph.D. student at the University of Pittsburgh who uses a power wheelchair, I figured it wouldn’t be long before I met one of these bots in a frustrating face-off on a narrow sidewalk. What I didn’t realize was how dangerous, and dehumanizing, that scenario might be.

The robot was sitting motionless on the curb cut on the other side of Forbes Avenue. It wasn’t crossing with the rest of the pedestrians, and when I reached the curb, it didn’t move as the walk signal was ending. I found myself sitting in the street as the traffic light turned green, blocked by a non-sentient being incapable of understanding the consequences of its actions.”
