folk music is so fucking good. it's so good. especially folk music with a distinct proletarian class character

Every word in this headline is funnier than the one before it.

in addition to this great thread, i recommend reading “how the irish became white” by noel ignatiev.  i do expect a lot of fighting against these facts because these lies and myth are so ingrained and now have become a part of the community and the sense of self and pride of irish people. 

Happy St Patrick’s Day

YOU FORGOT THE BEST PART

Found this on Instagram and I can’t stop thinking about it

“Sorry kiddo you can’t listen to Talking Heads there’s too many myths about Soviet military danger”-

Guys little update on this apparently it’s a list of bands that were banned in the Soviet Union in the 1980s,,,, Its not for a church or something,,, it’s for a whole ass country,,, here’s one of the original copies of the list(and translated one)

Tbh this is all mild compared to the shitshow that broke out after the 1972 “Festivali i Këngës 11″ in Albania - which ended in murders and a number of people serving decade plus prison sentences for singing mildly upbeat “western” music.

I'm never my best in morning classes

I had a dream that public pools were reopened and my friends wanted to go swimming, and the pool staff set up a "disease and medication thats contagious" sheet. But we didnt look at it and had been chilling in the pool for a while. Then when one of my friends had gone to the bathroom (got out of the pool) they came back and urged me to look at it.

And the sheet said that progestrone from HRT was highly contagious and I probably feminized the occupants of the pool

Ok but I love this concept and wish I could be a transgender bathbomb turning everyone trans

Lush was selling these today!🦈

Text SHARKATTACK to 40649 and sign the pledge!🦈

or we could let an unnecessary danger to swimmers die.

No the fuck we can’t. Because last I checked humans don’t own the fucking ocean, and last I checked, they’re IMPORTANT apex predators, a super necessary part of the ecosystem. Not to mention NEW YORKERS bite 10x as many people as sharks do a year. More people die from lightning and fireworks than form sharks.

Sharks aren’t a problem. They never have been. People are.

if you swim where the sharks are, it’s on you buddy, the animal gotta eat you don’t gotta swim

To @keyhollow let sharks die naturally, don’t go hunting them. Last I checked there’s no such thing as an important apex predator. Why on Earth are New Yorkers biting people? Know what we did to lightning? We found ways to deal with them. I’d say firework damage is usually from stupidity.

To @jeza-red so nobody can enjoy the beach now. The animal doesn’t got to eat innocent bystanders that are definitely not fish.

I’m gonna ignore 95% of that and focus on the apex predator part.

They’re super important because they control prey animal populations, of prey animal populations get out of control it can heavily and possibly irreversibly damage flora, other fauna, and land. A keystone predator is literally irreplaceable

A “keystone predator” is nowhere near irreplaceable.

Do you know what keystone means??

First off, calling something a keystone predator is erroneous at best. Second, keystones can be replaced.

No

You literally just have no idea what you’re talking about.

@miasmicsiren If you’re too stupid to read adult content, there’s even a children’s book on the subject!

Cherrypicking sources from shark apologists won’t work for you either.

Ah yes. “Shark apologists”. Those who defend the problematic behavior of *checks notes* preserving species and protecting the ecosystem.

What’s with all these bitches who saw Jaws once and feel like every shark needs to die

What in the fuck is this bitch talking about “Keystone predators can be replaced” WHAT

I’m still stuck on “Shark Apologist”

Reblog if you’re a Shark Apologist

Remember when they reintroduced wolves to Yellowstone and they fixed a whole MESS of shit that nobody even realised they would fix?
