New favourite quote 🙌

If you miss the amazon rainforest then stop buying sugar, soy, palm oil, tea, coffee, chocolate, bananas, pineapples, charcoal, diamonds, aluminum, oil, copper, gold, and paper

And can I ask–when you say you miss the amazon rainforest, do you also mean you miss the 90+ indigenous tribes that have been completely wiped out by corporate death squads who didn’t even bother to give them the chance to run for their lives before murdering them for land and money?

Or, are you just willing to admit you care more about a pretentious, fictional moral high ground gained by not eating animals than you do about human rights and environmental issues

a few fun octopus facts:

  • their arms are similar to our tongues in that their muscle fibers are  oriented in three different directions 
  • octopuses are disconcertingly strong (anecdotal evidence says that a 15 inch wide octopus was as strong as the scientist handling it)
  • on that note that same scientist said that when her octopuses escaped she would have to run behind them, “like cats” (paraphrased from sy montgomery’s the soul of an octopus)
  • aquariums have “octopus enriching programs” so they don’t get bored and fuck shit up in their tanks
  • they are crazy smart like. really. really fucking smart 
  • but we can’t compare their intelligence to ours because our evolution branched from the same common ancestor so long ago we cannot comprehend how they think
  • it’s believed that their intelligence evolved when they lost their shell, and had to adapt to predict how countless of different prey and predators would act, how to avoid them, distract them, lure them or trick them 
  • they visualize how other creatures are going to act, which means they have have awareness that others are individuals which is a type of consciousness but i can’t remember what it’s called right now 
  • like, they use tools 
  • they have distinct personalities 
  • aquarium octopuses are socialized from a very young age and even though in the wild they are solitary creatures they become extremely friendly with enough human exposure
  • sometimes they dislike people for no apparent reason and will shoot water at them
  • they have three hearts 
  • each of their arms has a tiny brain that controls movement and sensory input on its own i shit you not
  • they are color blind and yet they can camouflage their color and nobody knows how 
  • they can change the color and texture of their skin faster than human eyes can keep up with it
  • great pacific octopuses are white when they are peaceful, and red when they’re excited 
  • aquarium octopus have escaped their tanks and slithered down pipes into the ocean 
  • escaped their tanks to eat the fish in other tanks 
  • escaped their tanks to go fight other octopuses cuz they were bored
  • octopus fight club
  • learned how to take photographs
  • cost thousands of dollars by flooding new floors
  • they can feel, taste, and smell with their suckers and all of their skin
  • they enjoy tasting their food by slowly moving it through their suckers instead of shoving it in their beaks

  • they can rewrite their rna. no, really

  • the only reason why they haven’t evolved to take over as the next dominant race is because they’re doing pretty well  in the ocean so there’s no need for them to adapt further 
  • there’s a ton more but i’m so overwhelmed by love i can’ think of any at the moment i’m going to cry
  • read the soul of an octopus by sy mongomery no she didn’t pay me i just love octopuses so much

So, woody’s roundup was really great, but people started to just grab ANY deactivated URL- which was no bueno. It was only intended to target bad people, and taking innocent people’s URL’s was just…wrong. So the Woodysroundup blog deactivated, and now the actual original woodys (the ones with the bad people’s blogs) have started to change to that spongebob icon and the title “orgasm” on their blog.

Also, there’s a real gross person behind the Stinky Pete retaliation, and all the stinky pete icons you might see are people that are your typical “i love my waifu and 800 guns” people who just arent good.

SAY IT LOUD

Word!!

Well it’s probably because no white person alive today actually killed native Americans or owned slaves and that black people are disproportionately the ones who are killing and murdering people despite being a minority in America. But whatever fuck stats

^stfu

But also I feel this in my soul like every time me and my friends have a race discussion I bring this up like its wild

@real-trans-advocacy First of all, your original statement is invalid. You said that “no white person alive today actually killed Native Americans.”

Guess what? That’s wrong.

Here are the names of SIX documented (key word: documented) Native Americans shot and killed by police in 2014:

-Joy Ann Sherman (Lakota)
-Christina Tahhahwah (Comanche)
-Myles Roughsurface (Navajo)
-17 year old boy, name withheld by authorities (Hoopa)
-Allen Locke (Lakota)
-Naverone Christian Landon Woods (Gitxsan First Nation)

So it doesn’t matter that you believe no white people ALIVE killed POC nor was that the point of this post. The important thing is:

YOUR ANCESTORS WERE MURDERERS THAT KILLED NATIVE AMERICANS AND MILLIONS OF OTHER POC.

Period.

And look @ modern times. Y’all STILL continue to murder us EVERYDAY. I cannot tell you how many lives have been unfairly taken, how many hashtags have been created, how many destroyed lives I have seen that come from the crime and terror committed by white people.

We created #BlackLivesMatter to support and uplift ourselves from all the violence and terror committed against us and what do you do? Shout #AllLivesMatter.

But all lives didn’t matter until black lives did.

Black people are literally screaming at the top of our lungs for you to stop killing us, and white people are saying, “But…”

So PLEASE tell me how can you NOT understand our anger??

#Sandra Bland
#Eric Garner
#Trayvon Martin
#Tamir Rice
#Michael Brown

Here are the names of OVER 200 INNOCENT, UNARMED BLACK PEOPLE that have been killed unrightfully by police since 1964.

And this isn’t even the complete list.

To count EVERY SINGLE UNARMED black person killed by police since 1964, you would have well beyond 5,000 PEOPLE.

That’s over 5,000 funerals.

Over 5,000 memorials.

Over 5,000 devastated families.

Over 5,000 burials and cremations.

Over 5,000 broken hearts.

Over 5,000 tears shed.

Over 5,000 memories.

Over 5,000 innocent black lives MURDERED at the hands of white people.

Since 1964. WELL beyond slavery days.

Yes, your ancestors like your great grandparents are long gone. But this is since 50 years ago.

That means your parents, your aunts, your uncles, your grandparents, your cousins, maybe even you yourself if you are old enough were alive and possibly STILL alive to witness this.

But I know you probably don’t care about black lives anyway, most of America doesn’t.

So here are the numbers of NATIVE AMERICANS your people have killed.

The Battle of Wounded Knee – (1890)
More than 150 Indigenous men, women and children killed and 51 wounded of the Lakota tribe.

That’s TRIPLE the amount of the number of those killed in the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. History (50, Pulse Orlando).

And that’s just one battle.

The OVERALL death toll of Native Americans in total since Christopher Columbus settled in “India”:

95,000,000 to 114,000,000.

Don’t believe me? Research it.

And here’s a very neat and informative website about the genocide of Native Americans by white people for all those screaming, “Source!”: espressostalinist . com

Also, here’s an interesting fact: Native Americans have had the highest mortality rate of any U.S. minority because of U.S. action and policy.

The Holocaust, the genocide of millions of Jews, during WWII was done by guess who?

A white man (Adolf Hitler).

But white people aren’t scary right?

And amazingly enough, us POC still don’t hate ALL white people. But we DO want you to acknowledge our struggle.

The moral of my post (which I’m sure you still won’t get) is this:

If white people can find POC (especially blacks) scary,

Then POC can find white people scary too. 🙂

^ Y’all see this? THIS is an educated black person. THIS is what the white man fears. They don’t want us to be aware of what’s REALLY going on, so they try to water down our suffering… which is why we MUST stay educated. @ladytranquility Thank you. Thank you for this. #BlackLivesMatter

I’m HERE FOR THIS 🙌🏾✊🏾 #BlackLivesMatter @ladytranquility I THANK you 🙌🏾💕 I am reblogging this EVERY chance I get

THIS SHIT WENT HARD AF!!! READ! STUDY! GET ACTIVE! STAY WOKE!!

My therapist and I decided that from now on, when I’m thinking something negative about myself, I’m going to imagine that Donald Trump is saying it, because it’s really easy for me to just tell him to fuck off.

Example:

Trump: “Your thighs are fat.”
Me: “Fuck you and your fucking wall.”

I think we’re onto something here.

this is probably the best coping skill I’ve ever seen and I am ten billion percent going to use it too

This is off the Bermuda Triangle,  where 16+ ships washed up on a sand bar. The mystery is still unsolved

Actually the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle has been given a scientific explanation: methane vents which have been discovered in that region. 

Methane reduces the density of water, causing ships that would normally float, to instead sink.

Methane, when in gas form, messes with the electrical components of aircraft, causing them to fail and sometimes fall right out of the sky.

Methane also causes the water to turn a ghostly greenish color, and the “ghost ships” reported to be seen are simply green reflections of the ships that scatter the bottom of the triangle.

Fucking science, man.

so

the bermuda triangle

is caused

by ocean farts

#there are two types of people

tag your spoilers some of us want to keep the mystery in our lives thank
