yaoibutts:

I love how potato in French is pomme de terre, which pretty much means “earth apple.”

like what stupid frenchman saw this:

and said “zis petite légume looks like a, how you say, APPLE! hmmm… but it grows in ze earth… HON HON HON! MAIS OUI! C’EST UNE POMME DE TERRE!”

j’adore comment ananas se dit pineapple en anglais, ce qui veut littéralement dire “pomme de pin”, genre quel type anglais a vu ça:

et s’est dit : “ow cette étrange big fruit ressemble à une, how do you say, POMME! hmmm… mais plutôt une pomme qui pousse dans les pins… HU HU HU! OH YES, IT’S A PINEAPPLE!”

(z’avez vu, on peut le faire aussi… hon hon hon!)

I’m kinda rolling my eyes at people being flippant at the idea that people actually learn things from tumblr / the internet at large versus school

I’m a little older than tumblr’s general userbase probably, being 23, but I’ve always used the internet a lot and when I was younger I learned a lot of important shit from finding supportive communities on places like Livejournal. If it weren’t for them I may never have sought treatment for my depression, or learned anything about inequality, or even have a real understanding of healthy relationships or consent. Don’t take it as anti-intellectualism or an appeal to emotion when I say that I think it’s far more important that I understand myself as a person than it is that I know how to use the simplex algorithm.

The school system is deeply broken and hegemonic. Rather than going “pfft you aren’t REALLY learning anything from the internet, pay more attention in class!” we should actually question why it is that so many children and young adults feel let down by school to a point where they’re turning to the internet for information instead.

dabaryah:

I tested Walmart’s brand of bottled water and I was shocked to see they sell the most toxic water ever. I tested for Total Dissolved Solids using a TDS meter and the number I got was 271. THAT IS THE MOST TOXIC WATER I HAVE EVER SEEN. Even NYC tap water TDS score is 39. Poland Spring is 42. The water is not even drinkable. I think it’s Criminal to even make profits from selling this water filled with sodium fluoride and who knows what else is in that. 500 ppm (parts per million) is the EPA Maximum but even though the FDA is corrupt their recommended is 000, which is pure.

THE ONLY BOTTLED WATER THAT READS 000 IS DUANEreade/Walgreens ‘NICE’ branded water.

PLEASE SHARE THIS INFO ALONG.

Please buy the good + fresh water

There’s absolutely no agenda here but please trust this random-ass tumblr post telling you to buy this other brand, by name.

the worst thing about depression for me is feeling like i have to make a conscious effort to enjoy things

like i can’t think to myself “I’m gonna try something new!” and go and do it, i get really emotionally invested in something like learning a new stitch in knitting and then when it goes wrong i decide: well, i’m stupid and bad and a fraud and shouldn’t do anything

it shouldn’t be an uphill battle to convince yourself “maybe I will watch a film today” but depression is a fucker like that

diablod:

there’s a certain

loss, i suppose

that depression forces on you

depression itself is a sum of problems, and many of those problems end up cutting you up and boxing you in a small place

for some this is sequestering yourself in your room, for some this is cutting yourself off from people you used to like interacting with because you can’t stand some minor facet of their personality suddenly

its not the cutting away that depression hurts, its the void it leaves behind

it makes you feel like a broken person when you’re forced to stare into a place where something good used to be

lastly it's sort of disingenuous to talk about what's "natural" when you're posting on the internet and not, say, avoiding predators by sleeping in a tree

of course all of this is a bit beside the point because women shouldn’t have to tailor their makeup habits for some random-ass internet dudes. wearing makeup doesn’t make u fake, and not wearing makeup doesn’t make u slovenly. do what you want sisters it’s your flippin’ face

Thu, 16 May 2013 17:52:00 +0100

most dudes who go on about how they prefer women without makeup probably don’t actually know what women look like without makeup

normally when a dude bangs on about natural beauty they mean women looking like this:

But in this photo Ms Stewart is actually wearing makeup! She’s def at least wearing concealer, lipgloss and eyeliner. This is what’s usually marketed as ~natural beauty~ whereas this is actually what she looks like w/o makeup:

(i’m not dissing anyone for their makeup habits for the record, just trying to illustrate that the general standard for natural beauty actually isn’t very natural at all)

This is a lie. I still get friendzoned. Quite often i might add. Im not scorned by it. just a fact.

oh my god

make up is gross and I don’t like it because it’s like tricking guys into thinking you’re attractive

this post just keeps getting better

gosh dudes it’s really a mystery why you’re getting “friendzoned” when u have such reasonable and healthy views about women.

Fitch the Homeless is a Terrible Idea / Homeless People are not Your Gimmick

Thu, 16 May 2013 00:33:47 +0100

feministdisney:

iamayoungfeminist:

If you haven’t heard, some people are suggesting that in response to the CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch explaining that he won’t make clothes for uncool people (aka fat women) we should start giving A&F clothes to the homeless. No really. People are really suggesting that.

Um

“Hey, A&F look at who is wearing your clothes now! Homeless people! Aka the worst of the worst! Aka the non-coolest people ever! Got you now!”

1. Homeless people ARE PEOPLE and should be treated LIKE PEOPLE not props.
2. YOU ARE STILL GIVING MONEY TO THE COMPANY. Yeah, like maybe indirectly indirectly if you are buying your clothes from Goodwill or donating things you already have. But how about we just stop supporting this fucked up company all together.
3. Just read this tweet, people. Just read it.

Okay, I can forgive one white dude for thinking this is a good idea (I GUESS) but SO MANY social justice advocates keep reposting the idea like it’s some genius form of social protest. IT’S NOT. It’s exploiting and dehumanizing and HOW EVEN ONE PERSON READ THIS AND THINK “yeah, that’s a swell idea” IS BEYOND ME.

I was going to write up a post, but then I saw this :) since I actually already wrote up my points, I’ll add them here to go along with what she pointed out.

Homeless people are not your tool to use, they are not your gimmick. They’re not your billboard. Issues I see with implementation:

it relies on everyone understanding that homeless people are “less than”. Whether or not we believe it ourselves, we feed into this mentality by agreeing that a big F U to a company is to have homeless people wear their brand. Woohoo, they’ll make the brand dirty by publicly wearing it, take that! yeah! It treats them as a joke punchline.

On the actual level of passing out these shirts, it’s manipulative. They are poor, they have less choice than you (probably) or I as to whether or not they accept a handout, because they often need them to survive. Whether or not they agree with the message of your campaign, they have to agree with it in order to receive charity. Or did this guy go around with an extra bag of not-Abercrombie shirts in order to give people a real choice? If your charity is only given out to people who agree with your corporate tactics, how charitable are you? Why are we all encouraged to choose to boycott Abercrombie, but it’s assumed acceptable that all the homeless people should, instead, wear the clothing brand we detest? Is it because we already consider homeless people “branded”?

Again on actual level, one of the problems that started the outcry is that Abercrombie refuses to make clothes for larger people. How does that work out when you’re doling out the shirts? Skip over the larger homeless people saying, “Sorry, you’re too large for what we had in mind for this corporate takedown, no charity for you?” Or again, are you bringing extra shirts along? Is it okay to exclude fat women so long as they’re homeless this time??

A lot of people will inevitably argue that it’s wrong to deny homeless people a shirt no matter what the circumstances. But this is the exact attitude that often maligns homeless people unnecessary and allows others to use charity for their own promotion regardless of how tastelessly it is done. “They should take anything we give them, and be grateful” is the social adage. They’re not dogs, they’re people in unfortunate circumstances. People with thoughts, feelings, and a desire for choices.

Giving out ten or so poorly manufactured tshirts is nothing, honestly. Most homeless people do not need tshirts as much as they need shelter, food, and proper medical care. There is a reason homeless people do not often own many outfits… they have few places to store them. Without proper medical care, they might not be capable of cleaning them, since mentally and physically disabled people are disproportionately homeless… and these are the people you are taking advantage of and using for your minute of fame.

This is not something we should feel good about…

urgh, i’d honestly never thought about this. thanks for explaining what was wrong with the idea
