Do you ever cycle through the same 4 apps on your phone over and over again and feel like a tiger pacing its cage at the zoo
If you’re doing this, it is because you, like the tiger, need enrichment and variety in your life. May I suggest cramming just a whole bunch of raw hamburger into a pumpkin and rolling it around your enclosure?

the fact vegans think they can be appropriated is the funniest fucking thing i’ve heard in my life
I need to know what happened after “you absolute fuck”
That they think tofu is specifically for them and not, like, a 2000 year old Chinese dish/ingredient/food (depending on how you cook it and what you’re using it for) that’s become popular worldwide is absolutely fucking baffling
This is the future liberals (me) want
is there a reason for this? like is this part of a strike or something im not aware of?
i cannot believe im this fucking stupid
She starts with the British Museum specifically.
bill off the poop water again
I want to point out that this is something that’s been largely misrepresented to make it look like Bill is disagreeing with paying more tax. He’s not saying her idea is bad. He agrees with more of his money being used to help people. He’s saying that most billionaires use “creative” methods to avoid paying the tax they should already, so to just focus on increasing tax isn’t addressing the actual problem, that many of these people should already be paying a lot more than they are, and constantly find ways around it. https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/everybody-talking-about-tax-bill-gates-pokes-holes-in-extreme-tax-idea/news-story/48b324ddbf03e97ef5c7c69f1682f01a The problem is, the headlines are very deliberately being written in a way to make it look like a smart guy like Bill is saying “AOC is wrong about everything”, when he’s actually saying “I agree with her idea in principle, but if you don’t close the tax loopholes, it won’t work as well as it should”.
#of course bill agrees with paying more taxes #here’s a thing i firmly believe:#the wealthy who earn their money through actual skill and talent are fine with being taxed their fair share#because they understand they will always have the skill and talent to make more of that money#see also almost all very wealthy artists and entertainers being fine with being taxed#now people whose wealth largely comes from the business of wealth#that is they make their money almost exclusively through moving money and redistributing other people’s products#ie amazon walmart and wall street#understand that their skill is entirely dependent on having money#that they do not create a product #that already having the wealth is their product#and so they do not want to be taxed because they know they do not have the talent to produce that money from scratch#they require having money to continue to make money#and so they wish to have the most to make the most#whereas people with more valuable skill sets whose work makes wealth for other people too#are more inclined to give it up#it’s whether or not you make something that makes money for others#or you are the person making money off the products of others and never your own#that’s it #that’s the difference on opinions on taxes#or like i guess maybe you have no money and you think one day you will and you want to not be taxed then because you’re suffocating now#and naively align yourself with the people literally crushing the life out of you#that’s the third option

Stay away from children for the rest of your lives please
this is a show for 3 - 6 year olds what is WRONG with these monsters???
Fun fact, sesame street was created to fill the gap in education for children whose families could not afford to send them to preschool. Sesame street taught basic math and phonics as well as interpersonal skills so that children below the poverty line weren’t starting elementary school behind their more privileged classmates.
Here sesame street is trying to fill a gap where supportive adults should be. Where there should be a teacher or a family member or a counselor to help, for whatever reason, there isn’t, so Sesame Street is stepping in.
This breed of person has always hated Sesame Street. They hated it for showing black and white children playing together. They hated it for giving children of color the head start that rich white families were paying for. They hated it for Bert and Ernie for showing two MEN who LIVED TOGETHER, for the married black nurse who lived on sesame street when it was first released, and for them explaining death. I feel like there was a pregnancy at some point in its early days and they would have REALLY hated that.
These days they don’t (usually) say “I’m not letting my kid watch anything with black kids in it” but they sure throw a tantrum in the youtube comments when Sesame Street DARES to show an autistic girl playing with non-autistic children and being treated like shes anyone else. They lose their shit when Sesame Street has to explain incarceration to 5 year olds. And the muppet in south africa with HIV? Hoo boy.
They hate everything Sesame Street stands for and tries to provide. They always have. We just have to ignore them and keep supporting the show. Or tell them to shut the fuck up and keep supporting the show. Either way Sesame Street will outlive them.
Sesame Street will outlive them.
Life lessons.
Never forget that Jim Jordan helped cover up decades of child abuse, and his Republican colleagues have done (and will do) absolutely nothing to hold him accountable.
a little autobiographical piece about the internet
Didn’t even know people are not allowed to give blood if they are gay
That’s been the thing for years. The HIV scare of the ‘80s prohibited us from donating blood. And they still hold that against us despite the fact that that claim has been debunked over and over again.
the wording on the paperwork is “Are you a man who has had sexual intercourse with a man after 1980” or “Are you a woman who has had sexual intercourse with a man who has had sexual intercourse with another man since 1980” (this was a blood drive at my college where majority of the students werent Alive in 1980.) I donated all the time back when I was a virgin, because o- , but now I’m not allowed to. So a better question for this article is “Why won’t baby boomers let queer people donate blood, even though all the blood gets screened for HIV and aids anyway?” though, theres a lot of room for loopholes in the wording of it
This fucking matters. Bias in medicine is bias that should not exist. Fucking fix it.
I want people to know and understand why this was in the questionnaire too.
They did it because they didn’t want to test the blood for HIV/AIDS in the 1980′s. It was kinda pricey, took a few days, and they didn’t want to test it, so they screened for gay men as though that would prevent them from getting HIV+ Blood.
Naturally, people with HIV+ blood still donated (probably without being aware they were HIV+), because it’s not a ‘Gays only’ disease. Straight people got it without ever coming into contact with mlm because HIV/AIDS doesn’t really care that much about your orientation, as it turns out (contrary to the belief that led to this particular rule!).
THOUSANDS received blood that had HIV+ blood. THOUSANDS died because the blood services decided it cost a little too much to check, and a few days was too long. They’re now legally required to screen all blood because of this, and the test now takes a few minutes (not days).
This part of the questionnaire was meant to ‘weed out’ people who maybe could have HIV/AIDS because they decided only MLM would have it, and only people who were in contact with MLM. For some reason, they continue to weed out MLM specifically from being allowed to donate due to the laziness (Not to mention capitalism) of the 80′s, despite the law having changed, the test being faster, and the test being exceedingly cheaper.
Their original intent never worked, and couldn’t work, and was pointless then as it is now. MLM should be allowed to donate blood, especially as it’s going to be tested anyways (And lbr here, two mlm who have had only each other as a sexual partner ever in their whole lives are probably not HIV+… yet they still cannot donate because of the AIDS crisis in the 80′s)
