there is a tendency with history, i think, because we’re so far removed from it, to kind of forget that all of the people were people
a child 10,000 years ago left a handprint on a wall. they were fingerpainting. a viking climbs up a rock just to carve the words “this is very high” 10ft off the ground. somebody centuries… milennia… ago burned their dinner so thoroughly that they buried the ruined pot in the backyard rather than attempt to clean it. shakespeare got drunk and wrote dick jokes. tutankhamun was a little boy who liked ducks more than anything. a roman carves his name into a monument in another country saying “i was here”. a prisoner, centuries ago, in the tower of london scratches lines into the wall as a tally marking the days. a medieval monk scrawls in the margins bemoaning the boredom of his work.
every human being across history has said “i was here. i lived. i loved. i made something. i laughed. i cried. please do not forget me”
i saw some comments on tiktok where people were talking bout how they found tumblr too hard to use and part of it being that there was no lack of dates so “what if you reblog or like something from five years ago?!”
buddy… we have posts circulating still from 2011, its literally just how it is
neighbors were blasting party in the usa and someone changed the song midway through and there were audible argument noises until party in the usa started from the top again love wins
tbh it doesn’t rly hurt teenagers to incorrectly id as ace like… what’s the worst than could happen? they don’t have sex till they’re older?? lol
“ohh but it’ll take them longer to realize they’re actually gay” i know my experiences aren’t universal but like. if i wasn’t ready to face my lesbianism then i was Not Ready, you could’ve eliminated every other label in existence and i still wouldn’t have accepted it. if anything, the ability to try out different labels helped me learn about myself, explore the community, and accept that maybe not being straight wasn’t so bad.
also lots of people identify as bi before realizing they are gay, lots of people identify as gay before realizing they’re bi, lots of people identify as gay before realizing they’re trans, etc etc etc!!! exploring and getting it wrong is a necessary part of the process!!! why is it so different for aroace identities?????
Fun fact: if you buy a fishing license or hunting license in Colorado you get free search and rescue services should you need them. $10 bucks for a fishing license and no matter how much you screw up in the backcountry someone will come get you and haul you out for free.
Second fun fact: my redneck republican family thinks this is the best thing ever, and that is great the state offers this program. Meanwhile, in the same breath, they’ll say universal healthcare is a scam and will never work because “where will the money come from?” No, they do not see the irony.
Anyways, if you’re ever going hiking or something in Colorado, get a fishing license first.
OH this is good info thank you!
Ok let me fucking tell you a thing.
I work for a distillery. They were a sponsor for an event to the Florida CCA (Coastal Conservation Fund) I was scheduled to be the brand rep at the event, didn’t have any other info besides the name of the organization.
I was expecting a bunch of marine biologists and conservationists and Jaques Cousteau followed and things like that right??
No. It’s a fucking. Fish and wildlife crowd. Like people think it’s a gd fishing club. I haven’t seen so many mullets since a 1991 Billy Ray Cyrus concert. They had this whole video presentation that was basically like- “we know you LOVE TO FISH. So we’ve worked to use your donations (read; membership fees) to *repairandrehabilitatewateraysincentralflorida* MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD PLACES TO FISH. We’re hard at work *atteptingtoreversetheeffectsofclimatechangeyoudontbelievein* KEEP YOUR FISHING SPOTS MAINTAINED.”
Like fucking tricked an assload of drunken red neck republican blowhards into shelling out hundreds of dollars towards conservation by throwing 5-10 bass into a lake and fooling them
She was born to a rich plantation family in the American South during the time of slavery. She owned a slave, Hetty, a girl her parents gave her when she was a child. She was absolutely the sort of person whose racism you could justify as being ‘of her time’ and ‘just the way she was raised’.
And she cited the injustices she saw growing up on the plantation as the motivation for her becoming an abolitionist as an adult.
When she was a kid, she tried to give bible lessons to the slaves on her Dad’s plantation, and taught her own slave to read and write. As an adult, she and her sister campaigned for the end of slavery. When she found out that one of her brothers had raped one of his own slaves and gotten her pregnant three times, she welcomed her nephews into the family and paid for education for the two that wanted it.
This was a woman who was raised in a culture of slavery, looked around her as a child and said “hey, wait a minute, we’re all assholes!” and spent the rest of her life trying to put things right.
She had an election stolen from her due to suppression and instead of giving up or running for senate like many wanted her to she organized a movement. Stacy Abrams is a major reason GA is so competitive right now. She deserves our collective praise and thanks.
