Sea world should be wiped the fuck out

Seaworld, zoos, circuses

Always reblog, spread the message.

no

no zoos

zoos do good things

zoos help rehabilitate animals who otherwise would not survive in the wild

zoos help protect animals that would otherwise be hunted down

and zoos give them care to keep them healthy

seaworld and circuses (involving animals)

those are the ones that are bad

Are aquariums still considered good? Cuz ours has a bunch of sea animals that were brought in due to injuries, and that seems like a good thing to help them out until they can go back in the ocean.

Aquariums function like aquatic zoos IF they are non-profit and accredited. For instance the National Aquarium does have dolphins BUT last year they stopped doing shows and literally just let the dolphins do what they want. People can come in to watch the dolphins and trainers still are there but now are less “trainers” and more “human toys.” Breeding efforts have stopped and they announced they’re going to care for their existing pod and play as the POD wants for the rest of their life and after that, no dolphins.

Almost all their fish are nearly 20 years old (or less depending on natural life cycle, or MORE… there are a few close to 50) and they also have rehabilitation and release programs for injured animals. Since they are non-profit every bit of money goes to constant improvements in their tanks, research, and conservation efforts.

Sea World, despite all their advertising and talk, is a for profit organization that is more concerned with the paychecks than with animal welfare. Baltimore aquarium got a lot of people in with their dolphin shows but they stopped when learning it wasn’t best for their animals. Sea World has no such concern.

Learn before you burn 

Keep the zoos and aquariums. Fuck sea world and circuses.

Circuses have been getting rid of their animals in favour of human entertainment because most of them are recognizing the problems with keeping these animals which is more than I can say for sea world. So… fuck sea world.

“Pants were invented for men” not according to my ancestors.

faeforge

Pants were invented for riding horses. People who didn’t have nomad horse culture all wore dresses. Dress wearing old greek men considered pants to be the mark of barbarism. Like the Scynthians and Samaritans.

Also- the Scynthian and Samaritan tribes were known for equality between genders. Where women were renouned hunters and archers. They are where the greeks got the idea for Amazons.

So sorry bro pants are totally for women. You just mad its for riding something that’s not you.

I've been barely making ends meet these last couple months and it's been kinda tearing me up. Patreon keeps going down even though I feel like I'm doing good work. And YouTube has completely stopped promoting my videos so nothing I make leads to any new pledges. I dunno, it's awful and I'm scared. I have a really exciting month for content planned for February and I just hope I don't have to start figuring out low income housing or something on top of the rest of the workload. God it's been such a nightmare.

It feels like I'm working myself to death over here to get a lot of great content out, that I'm really proud of, and then no one clicks on it and YouTube just doesn't put it in subscription feeds anymore. I don't know what to do about that.

So I'm gonna throw my Patreon link up and ask for help and support because Azzy and I could really use it. Thanks y'all.

HEY I KNOW THIS AINT APEX BUT HERE ME OUT:

This lady right here? Her name is May, she’s trans and one of my fave creators on YouTube, and her partner and her are struggling a lot.

If you like weird movie videos and just like to listen to nerdy goth girls being awesome and cute, please support her. Her content has helped me through some shitty times and I’m sure some of you would really dig her!

Hey everyone!!! You need to check this chick out. She's funny, smart, likes a good meme, & there's a skeleton. So you need to check out her channel immediately. If YouTube isn't willing to show everybody how awesome she is, we're just gonna have to do it ourselves!!!

may is one of the best content creators out there. she makes me, the scarediest of cats, compelled to watch videos on horror movies without blinking. support her and her wife (and their beautiful cat)!!!

May is a hella rad lady and her videos are like hanging out with a cool older sister who talks about movies (and sometimes not-movies, like this really neat video she made about yugioh).

People need to immediately fight back against these smears led by the far-right/right-wing/center who are now weaponizing antisemitism even against Jewish people. It is disgusting to say that Bernie Sanders, a Jewish person who lost family members in the Holocaust, is antisemitic. This has and always will be about stopping a democratic socialist politician who supports Palestinian rights from gaining power. It is shameful and it must be shut down immediately.

Just as in the UK, Boris Johnson’s antisemitism and support of the far-right was minimized and excluded from discussion. Donald Trump’s alignment with the far-right and his own antisemitism has been minimized and replaced with outrage over people like Ilhan Omar (which peddles in Islamophobia).

An important point regarding the smears against Jeremy Corbyn was that a portion of the electorate viewed him as being “too supportive” of the Muslim community. Boris Johnson’s Islamophobia wasn’t viewed as an issue, because there are sadly many in the media and general public who don’t even view Islamophobia as racism. What is clear, is that the right-wing/center continually chooses to side with fascists over socialists and selectively chooses what counts as racism.

Bernie Sanders: “It’s very troubling to me that we are also seeing accusations of antisemitism used as a cynical political weapon against progressives. One of the most dangerous things Trump has done is to divide Americans by using false allegations of antisemitism, mostly regarding the US–Israel relationship. We should be very clear that it is not antisemitic to criticize the policies of the Israeli government.”

“As a people who have experienced oppression and persecution for hundreds of years, we understand the danger. But we also have a tradition that points the way forward. I am a proud member of the tradition of Jewish social justice. And I am so inspired when I see so many Jewish people picking up this banner, especially the younger generation of Jews, who are helping to lead a revival of progressive values in our country. They see the fight against antisemitism and for Jewish liberation as connected to the fight for the liberation of oppressed people around the world. They are part of a broad coalition of activists from many different backgrounds who believe very deeply, as I always have, that we are all in this together.“

Being an anti has nothing to do with your stances on shipping minors/adults or anything like that. An anti is someone who will either outright attack someone for shipping something or goes into a ship tag that they don’t approve of and either put hate there or something nsfw imagery. Essentially if your a ship and let ship person, nmw u ship ur not an anti, but if u deliberately go after peeps who ship ur NOTP and attack them an stuff, ur an anti. Idk if u care but I just thought I’d clear it up

Avatar

Okay but I’m not ship and let ship when it involves minor/adult pairings. Minor/adult ships are my NOTP and I do think minor/adult pairings and the people producing that content should be actively shamed out of fandom spaces so. by definition if that makes me an anti I’m cool with that.

Avatar

I don’t know if this is deliberate or not, but I really want to call attention to the way this is worded to make it look like people who ship inherently unacceptable pairings are the goods guys who are victims of unprovocated attacks.

People who ignore pedophilic ships are the good guys. “Ship and let ship,” no matter what. They believe we can all coexist in the same fandom space and have a good time.

But the people who are actively against pedophilic, incestuous, etc ships and who seek out the adults producing that content? Those are “antis,” the bad guys.

And then the genius of it is that the “anti” label is also used for people who ARE actually just plain old jerks and who attack people just because they’re shipping something that IS innocent that they don’t like.

So the word used to label people against pedophilia is also used for people who are being mean for no reason, thus grouping them together and making it possible to invalidate the first group.

“OP is an anti.” People who understand anti to mean “attacks people who don’t agree with their ships” will understandably think “wow, OP is a jerk!” And they may not look any further and discover OP actually only actively shames people who ship pedophilia, incest, etc.

These same people use excuses such as mental illness, their own history of abuse, etc. to argue that they cannot be shamed for their content, because it’s discrimination against them.

They are using concepts of social justice and bigotry to their advantage to rearrange the situation so that they are the victims.

So actually let’s stop calling people against minor/adult shipping content “antis” and just call them “Correct.”

People are really like “: ( oh I have to unfollow you now.”

Good! If you disagree with what I’ve said here, unfollow me. You are Not going to win me over. No argument about how fiction does or doesn’t affect the real world, no link to some post about shipping as coping mechanisms, and nothing you have to say is going to change my mind on this.

I am not going to have a civil discussion with you about why you think it’s okay to ship incest, adult/minors, pedophilia, etc. If you think that makes me unreasonable, I am okay with that.

Not to sound petty and stuck-up, but I have a larger platform than your weird “pedophilia shipping is ok” fanblog will ever have, and I am more than happy to use it to make this opinion known, and I will not miss you. I don’t even check my follower count anymore. I will not notice you leave. You’re not the winner. Thank you.

I’m learning my third language right now and the more I work on it, the more I’m glad that English is my native tongue because oh my god how does anyone learn the rules of this miserable cobbled-together nonsense that constantly has exceptions to its own rules and then exceptions to the exceptions

How has anyone learned to pronounce //a n y t h i n g// in English

All of you who learned English as a second language deserve an award and our apologies.

thank you that other day i learnt saloon is pronounced as saline and the only way to learn how to pronounce things in english is by being corrected by someone else bc you tried to pronounce a word logically

I hate to break it to you but at least in Ye Olde American English, saloon is sal-loon, saline is say-leen

The cycle of confusion continues

pepper tries to woo peach…..bonus episode

highlights include peach’s “….anyway” and pepper looking to me for moral support.

bringing this back because i think this video helped a lot of people to realise that spiders aren’t all that scary. after posting this I got so many messages saying they love pepper and that he showed them that spiders are actually pretty cute, so hopefully this will help any new people who happen to come to this blog now. ♡
