Yesterday, my tandem learning partner contacted me for the first time, and I'm so happy! I signed up for my university's tandem learning in September, but there wasn't a match for me until now.. I'm so excited to help someone with their German and improve my French in return :D
I love when court cases are called things like person vs. state because I like to imagine a single person fighting a whole state on their own out of sheer rage
The Tiny Project | http://tiny-project.com
The Tiny Project is Alex Lisefski’s attempt to live a simpler, more conscious, debt-free life, and in doing so helping to set and example and educate the community about alternative, affordable, more sustainable ways of living.
The tiny house movement is rapidly gaining popularity in the US and elsewhere around the world. Though no two tiny homes are identical, they share many core principles, and of course, they are all quite tiny! Though a tiny house can be built on a foundation, many people choose to build on a flatbed trailer, in order to make the house mobile, and to avoid minimum square footage requirements that most municipalities have in place for permanent structures.
Building on a trailer means the house is considered more like an RV, and does not need to adhere to the same permits, codes, and rules associated with building a normal home. The trick with trying to live full-time in a pseudo-RV is where to park it.
I’m literally so exhausted I hate this bitch (this bitch is me)
god this embodiment of white feminism is so vile she should be banned from the human race
I fucking hate her
How do people still want to live even though society makes you feel so shitty everyday if you aren't "traditionally beautiful". How do people not want to drop out of a world, where, if you don't obey what your birth gender is dictating you to look and act like, you're judged and if you decide to change, you'll only be praised if you "pass" as "the other gender"? How do people manage to live their lives happily knowing that, because we live in an achievement-oriented society, where people who can't manage to keep up with a "normal" way of education and job market cannot be a part of society anymore and get pushed to the side? How is it possible that if you don't function 100% because maybe, you're sick in one way or the other, you will be judged and not taken seriously, even though, in reality, maybe society is actually the sick one? How can people not get upset all the time about the fact that, depending on where you're born and what you look like, you will struggle so much only because for example maybe your skin color is not what is seen as the "good one"? I'm seriously asking myself this... like??? I don't get it and I can't comprehend how I'm supposed to live life happily in such a hating and judgmental environment. I know you're supposed to surround yourself with people who maybe don't hold this kind of mentality, but still, you will have to interact with people who do, you will have to go to places whereas you will be judged upon those things. A stupid example out of my own life (which is kinda ridiculous because I am writing this from a perspective of someone who is a cis white able bodied person from an (upper) middle class family and who withholds a lot of privilege and I probably won't have to fear physical aggression or anything because of my status): I won't be able to become a university professor if I can't go to classes all the time because of my illness. I will probably take a lot longer than anybody else to graduate and I will probably not have the best of grades as a result of missing class, too. And that's not a reflection of my intelligence or my ability to do research or to teach, however, I will not be able to become a professor, because I'm not able to live up to those societal standards set for becoming a professor. (Such as, having good grades, having relationships to important people in the field, being 100% efficient and productive ect.) (Not that I know I would want to be a professor, but that's besides the point) I really want to know how other people can manage those kind of things and not let it bring them down (even more). How do you handle this? Personally, I don't have the energy to fight those standards all the time, because I'm not that strong mentally...so saying things like "you just have to be rebellious against those kinda things and show everyone that it can't hold you down" won't be of any help because it ignores the fact that those things are real issues and that you can't just jump over them by ignoring them, they'd still be there.
anyone else having a…hmm. what’s the word? Really Shit Time?
I wanted to make a smoothie bc I didn't eat anything all day (it's 18:55 here) because I was sleeping all day long bc I'm not feeling well. I was very very hungry therefore and dehydrated bc if you sleep you can't drink or eat. I put dates in it and I forgot to take out the kernels, so now I have date kernel granulate in my smoothie... i hope its not toxic to eat them bc i probably cant get them all out... otherwise, at least you know how I died
Step 1: Pick leaves Gently twist the leaf near the base, it should snap off the plant cleanly. Good cuttings will be slightly rounded at the ends, and have no ‘open’ wound:
Bad cuttings will not grow, you need to make sure the whole leaf comes off in one go. Bad leaves are jagged, torn, or cut:
Step 2: Lay all cuttings inside on a piece of cloth. I usually put a piece of old scrap material down on my desk and lie all the leaves out in rows. I try not to pile up the leaves, as this tends to promote rot. Do not water at all. AKA no misting the leaves, no watering the leaves, nothing. Everything the baby succulent needs to grow is stored in the mother leaf, watering may rot the leaf before the new plant is big enough to survive on its own! Make sure the leaves aren’t in direct sun, as they will wither before they form new plants. Filtered light from a window is strong enough!
Step 3: Waiting After about 4 weeks you will start to see the first signs of life. The leaf may send out roots first, it may start to grow with no roots. Both are okay!
Step 4: Planting (Start watering once a week at this stage) After 6-8 weeks the baby succulents will be big enough to plant outside! I do this by placing the leaves on top of loose, sandy soil that has not been compacted. I do not bother burying the leaves, as it tends to do more harm than good (you may snap roots/damage new shoots in the process):
I place all the plants together, they don’t really seem to mind! These is how they look after about 10 weeks:
When the plants are big enough, the mother leaf will shrivel up and start to die off:
TADA! You’ve created baby succulents :)
I’m sorry, this is a very beautifully illustrated, informative plant post, but every time I read “Make succulent babies” I put the emphasis on the wrong part of the phrase and expect something.. very… different.
I’ve been working on this! Mine are just at the root stage right now, no new little petals yet, but fingers crossed they will show soon.

i didn’t ask permission so i hope it’s ok
This is INCREDIBLE
Random country: rich in oil and minding their own business
America:
And TBH the biggest thing I’ve learned this year is that veganism is the most entitled western bullshit in the world
yeah man, fuck those people in third world countries who starve because their food supply is fed to livestock
Fuck India, with their lowest consumption of meat in the world
Fuck the billions of people in third world countries who eat mostly vegan because it’s the cheapest food available
As if fucking carnists aren’t forcing people to starve so they can eat meat. As if meat is cheap and easy to produce. As if eating meat isn’t the main cause of deforestation and environmental damage. As if animal agriculture isn’t forcing indiginous people off their land. As if animal agriculture isn’t the biggest fucking waste of resources in the history of the world.
Fuck those entitled vegans who believe they don’t have the right to fucking kill other living creatures, amirite?
It angers me so much how most Americans don’t realize how their fucking country basically rules over every other country on this planet. In not knowing that, they don’t realize how HUUUUGE their responsibility is to choose a leader who won’t basically mess up the whole planet. They don’t realize how much thought they should put into their choice of who they vote for. They only look at it all from their own perspecitve, mostly ignoring everything except for home affairs. Of course, domestic policy is very important and it shouldn’t be ignored! However, if you live in a country as powerful as the US, your responsibility goes way beyond the borders of your country and YOU ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOUR GOVERNMENT DOES OUTSIDE OF YOUR BORDERS. Yet, all we ever hear about in the current run for the white house is what the candidates think about immigration, gun control, police brutality, and terrorism* if it is inside the US (or sometimes in another Western country). Nobody ever talks about how the US has its hands in many dirty games all around the globe. Nobody ever talks about how they have military bases in practically every 2nd country, how they give their very best to keep their role as the most powerful economy, no matter what false compromise it takes and no matter how much they have to let go of humanitarian moral beliefs. I’m not saying the US is responsible for everything that’s happening in the world, that’s certainly not the case, but being a big player means having big responsibilities.
*their definition of terrorism is also something that’s very problematic, since it is used differently everywhere and mostly is only applied to where it fits their political agenda
What if a white child with cancer only had 3 weeks left to live and their last wish to the make a wish foundation was to be able to say the N word just once. Are you telling me its not okay for a white person to say the N word in that instance?
this is the greatest post of all time.
It says so much how deeply committed you are to white supremacy when you imagine that the right to say a genocidal slur would be a child’s dying wish, and that, somehow, the joy of antiblackness would be some kind of alleviation or aid in the face of terminal disease.
