Its so awesome how much @staff has done to change this site! Now instead of occasionally getting bothered by pornbots, I get at least 2 pornbot followers per day! So happy they banned female presenting nipples for this!
Y’know Lamb’s Quarter? A common weed throughout the continental US, tolerant of a wide variety of soil conditions including the nutrient-poor and compacted soils common in cities, to the point where it thrives in empty lots?
These plants are close relatives, and produce extremely similar seeds. Lamb’s quarter could easily be grown across the US, in people’s backyard and community gardens, as a low-cost and local alternative to quinoa with no sketchy geopolitical impacts. You literally don’t have to nurture it at all, it’s a goddamn weed, it’ll be fine. Put it where your lawn was, it’ll probably grow better than the grass did. AND you can eat the leaves - they taste almost exactly like spinach.
This just… drives home, again, that a huge part of the appeal of “superfoods” is the sense of the exotic. For whatever nutritional benefits quinoa does have, the marketing strategy is still driven by an undercurrent of orientalism. You too could eat this food, grown laboriously by farmers in the remote Andes mountains! You too could grow strong on the staple crop that has sustained them for centuries! And, y’know, destroy that stable food system in the process. Or you could eat this near-identical plant you found in your backyard.
we’re going to have to call smut ‘lemons’ again, aren’t we?

For those who don’t know, this is what Animal Rights organizations really want. Zero human animal interaction, even when it’s beneficial to both parties.
Essentially their stance is animals shouldn’t be treated in any way that humans shouldn’t be treated. You wouldn’t keep a human as a pet, so why is it ok to have a pet dog. You wouldn’t make a human work to assist a blind person without pay, why would you allow a dog to do this. They don’t usually lead with this kind of stuff because it sounds crazy, but this is what they really believe and this is where the logic of their ideology leads.
It is based upon extreme anthropomorphization and an anti-science (or even anti-logic) attitude. It misses the important point that animals are not humans and while we should work to give the animals in human care the best lives possible it it’s often actively harmful to animals to treat them like people.
like for real… there are so many cultures and faiths that consume animals ethically. we don’t source our meat from mass industries that abuse animals and we utilise the entire animal for food or clothing. there are rituals and prayers unique to different cultures that are done to thank animals for their sacrifice, or concepts similar. Those who follow Islam and Judaism (who eat Halal and Kosher Meat, respectively) are required to kill the animal in the most painless way possible. stop telling us that what we’re doing is wrong and immoral when your expensive vegan products are sourced from companies that destroy land belonging to Native Americans or exploit people of colour to do their underpaid labour. Be mindful of other cultures and stop grouping us in with the white meat-eaters.
Where is anyone finding monthly transportation that cheap?? And utilities that cheap?? And a cell payment that cheap?? And internet that cheap?? Like?? What is going on?? Who is doing this budget??
To be fair, transportation where Inlive is easy. You can have a digital bus pass on your phone for about $30 a month and use it as much as you like, and it’s good for the light rail and the streetcars.
Outside of a city though, I’d be calling bullshit too.
centaurs have six limbs and are therefore insects. discuss.
Oh. This. I don’t like this.
Not true! To be an insect they would also need a exoskeleton, antennae, and generally a set of wings. I would say a segmented body is also needed, but it could be argued that they have one with the head, human torso, and equine body (which is perhaps far more upsetting).
Also they would be warm blooded as they would be a mammal.
The wall GoFundMe went up by almost a million dollars since when I looked at it an hour ago. Republicans are attaining cuckdom levels never before thought possible
Paying out of pocket for things taxes are already going towards to own the libs!
it actually rules because despite the fact that the gofundme is at about 10 million currently its still not even a fraction of the way close to being the amount necessary to fund the wall, making a fool and clown of every libertarian ever who said rich people would voluntarily fund things without needing be taxed
They’re literally furious if they think one penny of their income might go to food stamps for an immigrant but they’re all donating a hundred bucks to something they were already promised they would never pay for.
It’s what happened to Jews in Germany in 1938 when their passports were declared invalid. That is what is beginning to happen here, now, to Hispanic citizens along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Oh, is it bad to compare the GOP to Nazis? Well, if members of the GOP do not like being compared to Nazis, they should consider not behaving exactly like Nazis.
Hispanic U.S. citizens, some of whom were in the U.S. military, are not being allowed to renew their passports. This is reportedly happening to “hundreds, even thousands” of Latinos, according to a report in the Washington Post. They’re getting letters from the State Department saying it does not believe they are citizens. The government claims their citizenships are fraudulent. “I’ve had probably 20 people who have been sent to the detention center—U.S. citizens,” Jaime Diez, an attorney in Brownsville, told The Washington Post.
The Washington Post also reports on ICE officials coming to citizens’ homes and taking their passports away. This is an escalation from a few months ago, when Americans were detained by ICE officials just for speaking Spanish to one another.
The administration is currently launching an effort to take citizenship from people who they suspect of fraud in obtaining it. Fraud in these cases is exceedingly rare. The last time the government tried to strip people of their citizenship was, according to Columbia Professor Mae Ngai, during The Red Scare of the 1950s. As Ngai remarks, McCarthyism is not typically remembered as a good period in American history.
There is good reason to believe that this could portend still worse things to come for the U.S. Hispanic population, unless people begin to speak out loudly, and fast.
First, they came for the Hispanics and I did nothing.
Then they came for (fill in the blanks) and I did nothing.
Then, when they came for me, there was no one to do nothing.
GUYS.
SILENCE IS COMPLICITY.
IT WILL HAUNT NOT ONLY YOU BUT YOUR CHILDRENS CHILDREN.
DONT BE SILENT. PASS THIS AROUND. Let everyone know it’s happening!
Oh, is it bad to compare the GOP to Nazis? Well, if members of the GOP do not like being compared to Nazis, they should consider not behaving exactly like Nazis.
SILENCE IS COMPLICITY. MARTIN NIEMOLLER SAID IT. THIS IS HOW IT BEGINS.
OP’s link isn’t working for me so here’s the article link again but yeah things are not good
The Vox article that I was interviewed for is up and running, and it contains some serious fuckign information about this whole fiasco.
Information that tumblr just straight up refused to provide to its userbase at all.
Unsurprisingly to those of us watching this website deteriorate over the last year, this full content purge and ban has been in progress for a solid 6 months. The date got moved up because of the child porn thing, but it was always coming for us.
Equally unsurprising: Tumblr’s management and ownership are absolutely destroying the actual staff working on it. The company has been hemoragghing senior staff without so much as a token attempt to keep them in place. So the drops in site quality are real, and wil probably only be getting worse.
Truly astonishing is the fact that apparently this crap was supposed to “double” the userbase by the end of next year. Boy, howdy, that’s not gonna work out well for them.
good luck with your plan to sell ads targeting a user base that doesn’t exist any more, @staff.
Then they’re def gonna let Tumblr die on the vine when it doesn’t pan out. It’ll take a few years but mark my words, this is going to work out about as well as when Rupert Murdoch bought MySpace and everybody left. Also, fuck Verizon forever.
Plz lemme know if you reblog this and it disappears. I have Suspicions.
I mean, there are already mutuals of mine reporting that they can’t see this post, only a “post was deleted"notice on my blog, and I’m the OP.
So, whatever your suspicions are, I suppose mark them as confirmed.
@staff LIED about not banning erotica. Writers absolutely got hit by the purge yesterday. If you ever wrote adult content, you got hit. Now those users have been flagged explicit, are blocked from search, and their stories are being hidden.
Let me make this clear: TUMBLR LIED ABOUT THEIR OWN GUIDELINES. People who were supposed to be safe from the purge got hit.
This is unacceptable. Pedos, nazis, and bots are still overtaking this website. I had to block 2 porn bots that followed me yesterday. But someone who writes fanfiction? THEY GET BLOCKED? Tumblrcan’t even follow their own rules and expect us to toe the line. “Do as I say, not as I do.”
