What kind of a world do we live in now that not wanting to be photographed/filmed in public without permission is cause for argument. Like whatever happened to "consent matters".

okay some of yall are just ignoring natives at this point where is the outcry??? how loud do we have to scream? how many of us have to go missing or be found dead before you start screaming with us?
please sign the petition to let us keep our children! and educate yourself on the true history of turtle island: hint, you gotta talk to real natives to get the true story. history is written by the victors.

Hey so I’ve mentioned this a lot of times on my main blog, but I wanted to put this out over here since it is Hallow’s Eve. I always give out little tchotchkes on Halloween along with candy. This year, I’ve completely switched over to 100% doohickeys and doodads— think mechanical pencils, shaped erasers, little notebooks, squishes, vampire teeth and spiders rings and all. It started years ago in college when I signed up for a dorm Halloween event where kids from an area that was too dangerous to really trick or treat through got bussed in to trick or treat at our dorm. I bought some candy and dollar store Halloween themed stuff with what i had. And you know what the kids went ape shit over?
Motherfucking. Mechanical. PENCILS!!
These kids could not get enough of them. They literally went “PENCILS??!” I had never seen kids get so hyped up for pencils lmao. They were the first things to go. Candy is fleeting; the little pencils you can bring to school to flex are eternal, until you inevitably lose one of the refill parts and then they aren’t but listen, in that one moment they are infinite. And its nice thinking that maybe some kids who don’t always have access to school supplies not only get them, but get them in fun shapes and designs.
Anyway. I recommend people to give out fun stuff like this not just because kids seem to genuinely enjoy them, but also because there’s this thing called the Teal Pumpkin Project here in America. You can put out a teal pumpkin to show that you are giving away non-candy items and sign your address up so parents of children with allergies know that there are houses their kids can safely and happily trick or treat at! It’s a win-win! Plus, if you accidentally bought too much, it’s not like candy— just pack it away, pencils and fidget spinners will be good next year, too! :)

Can some of y'all like, do the rest of us on Tumblr a favor and be haters away from our blogs on here.
Just because you hate your lives doesn't mean we all have to hate ours with you.
You wanna be a miserable wretch? Use your own blog for it. Keep other people and their posts out of it. Some of us are here to ramble and chill. We didn't sign up to be misery company. Kthxbye.

today im thinking about malaria in ancient rome.
about the fact that P. falciparum (the most dangerous kind of malaria) was likely endemic at least from the 2nd century BC onward
that Galen said semitertian fevers (P. falciparum infections) were more common in Rome than anywhere else in the Roman Empire
that the most severe manifestations of P. falciparum (quotidian fevers + cerebral malaria) were most common in babies and young children, an epidemiological observation that indicates the transmission rate of P. falciparum was extremely high in Rome
that Quintus Serenus said there was no Latin word for semitertian fevers (they used a transliteration of the Greek, 'hemitritaeos') because "no one, i think, could have named it in our language and mothers would not have wanted to"

how it usually goes:
america commits war crimes -> the government has time to lie about them and tries to spin the narrative -> people (mostly) believe them
what is happening now:
america commits war crimes -> they are livestreamed on social media and everyone sees the war crimes -> the government doesn't have the time but lies anyway and tries to spin the narrative -> people don't fucking believe them
this is why bibi and bidens propaganda machine isn't working, and why they're trying so hard to silence journalists. also, when people realize how much they're lying about this they realise how much they're lying about everything else. in short - they are fucked and they are scrambling.

The giant vulture is a misunderstood creature, human pictured for scale. It's intelligent (knows Common). Despite 5e insisting that it's "evil", it hasn't really shown any malicious behavior, just those of a normal scavenger. Really is just a sentient bird.
The Chasme (right) are mosquito demons around 8 ft tall (2.4m), though only about 150 lb (68 kg). They can also knock you out for 10 minutes with the sound of thier buzzing, if that's what you're into.
