It's called the Global Justice Report, it is here. This is an actionable plan which can be sent to legislators and demanded of political parties. We could save the world within our lifetimes.
It has always been possible. It is still possible.
I'm not a prayin' man, but the night I found out my at-the-time-fiancé had been sending sex horny nasty horny sex asks to my friend on THIS VERY WEBSITE, I sat in the car in the parking lot of an abandoned church and watched a family of deer play in the snow, and it didn't quite feel like a sign because that part of Pennsylvania was mostly deer and abandoned buildings and snow, but it felt nice, and once the tears stopped, I looked down at my phone and my other friend had sent me a text that said, "HE'S TRYING TO CHEAT ON YOU ON THE ONE DIRECTION IMAGINES WEBSITE?" and I realized that life is all about your curated experience. A real choose-your-own-adventure deal. I have never seen someone post about One Direction on here in my life.

It has been over a year. I did not know what Bluey was before I made this post. I am not going to watch Bluey because of responses on this post. Also, I wanted to let all you guys know that Bob the Builder teaches us all lessons about construction equipment in a way no other show does, making it far more meaningful and important than what 99% of vapid adult programming has to offer. Can we fix it? “Yes we can,” says Bob the Builder - an inspiring message and one far more meaningful for our times than any tragedy (ew) Shakespeare could ever write.
good fucking lord we need to demystify minerals. crystals do not have healing or magical powers you guys are just getting scammed
and we are what exactly? everything we interact with is a jigsaw puzzle of atoms. everything that effects or heals us in made of atoms and vibrations. negative ions from moving water affect our mood so why wouldn't crystals?
you are getting scammed
I own a rock shop. A lady came in about three years ago and asked me which crystals are best for healing, I gently explained that they didn't have powers or healing properties. She started crying. She had late-stage cancer and no medical treatments were working. A crystal-healer had told her the only thing that would save her were crystals, then proceeded to convince her to spend $2000 on what realistically was only maybe $50 worth of Arkansas Quartz. She had two months to live, and was being strung along by scammers who gave her false hope in exchange for her life savings. I had indirectly just told this woman she was going to die, and it was hitting her all at once. Unfortunately, stuff like this is a regular occurrence. Maybe that’s my worst story, but it’s something I encounter on a weekly basis at least. Rocks, Minerals, and crystals are cool as hell but they don’t have powers. They aren’t mystical or special. I’m sorry for going off on a rant about this but it’s frustrating and it can ruin people’s lives.
If someone told you that crystals have powers, you got scammed.
If you tell other people that crystals have powers, you are scamming people.
Stop fucking scamming people!
To be fair, there are some minerals that have powers, but those minerals are Uranium and Plutonium and the powers are Radiation Damage
The amount of slavery in Ancient Rome was legitimately terrifying tbh
Y’all know that I’m into ancient Roman history and I do a lot of research on it but even though I should be used to it by now sometimes I read an anecdote about how an individual slave was treated and I’m hit with the realization that like a third of the population was living like that and I just need to put my head in my hands for a second
Emperor Hadrian randomly stabbed a slave in the eye in a fit of rage and he was supposedly unusually sympathetic to slaves.
There’s other instances of people randomly punching slaves that they didn’t even know because they got in their way or something. This was just normal behavior.
And slaves didn’t rebel en masse because if even one slave committed an act of violent rebellion it was common practice to kill every slave and former slave in the household.
People only took notice for posterity when these mass executions got into the hundreds of people. One of the few recorded for the history books is of over 400 people being killed because one guy stabbed his enslaver.
Like how many people throughout history were beaten to death because some rich asshole was angry and there was no legal or social consequences for doing so? We don’t know.
When you study ancient history you’re reminded that slavery has never once been kind or justified. It just takes on different forms of evil in every time and place that it infects.

Omg.. okay I follow a bunch of channels that are made by people who do free cleaning for people in really dire hoarding/damaged house circumstances mostly older disabled people and the free cleanings are often recorded to show how to take care of extremely bad damage to houses yourself, anyway one of them recently had to put out a statement where she said the GREAT MAJORITY of requests for CHARITY CLEANING she gets was fucking LANDLORDS!!!!!! Particularly those that recently had someone move out and want free cleaning before marketing again. And she basically made a big statement politely stating she’ll never do a cleaning for a landlord and they need to stop asking. Ngl that’s some crazy composure if I was in her position I’d just come over and bulldoze the house
I still can’t get over this. Like these are emergency cleanings meant for disabled people in unlivable conditions and the purpose of recording it is to help people learn how to maintain or repair their own homes in bad circumstances. Can you imagine watching someone who regularly deals with biohazards for free and thinking “yeah it’s appropriate to request they clean the housing im holding hostage before I rent it again”

'The Kelpie Pond' by Jaimie Whitbread
Today is the day Savita Halappanavar died due to pro-life policies in Ireland. It’s been 13 years since her death. She should be 44.
On October 21 at just 17 weeks pregnant, Savita went to hospital for what would later be determined to be a miscarriage.
After examinations found the miscarriage was inevitable and her water had broken, Savita asked for an abortion but because the fetus still had a heartbeat it was illegal for doctors to perform one, being told ‘this is a Catholic country.’
Savita developed sepsis within days of going to hospital and on the 28th of October died from cardiac arrest. She was just 31.
Her death sparked outrage around the world and in Ireland. In December of 2018, Irish voters passed the Thirty-Sixth Amendment of the Constitution, which repealed the Eighth Amendment (a law which prohibited abortion) and empowered the Oireachtas parliament to make abortion legal.
I want to take this moment to remember her, and all the lives lost to anti-abortion laws around the world.
May Savita find peace.
