There is no pattern to the posts.

The oldest living tree ever found was a pine named “Prometheus.” It had been alive since before the Egyptian pyramids were built. Some guy cut it down in 1964. Source

he was actually a forestry graduate student who was doing research on bristlecone pines (Pinus langaevea) and got his increment borer stuck in the tree. this tool costs almost $800, so he asked the forest service if he could cut down the tree to recover the tool. after cutting it down, it became apparent that the tree was actually the oldest living organism. ever. (around 8,000 years old). so, not just some asshole. the guy feels extremely guilty and has even broken down in tears during an interview about the accident

OH MY GOD SO LET ME TELL YOU A STORY

So after the grad student cut down the tree and discovered it was the oldest tree in the world he quit studying forestry and went to study salt flats (can’t cut down the oldest trees in the world on salt flats no siree none of that happening) and he was being interviewed about his research, but in the middle of the interview the reporter just stops and says “wait aren’t the guy that…”

And he just takes off running. Literally. Turns around and runs across the salt flats away from the interview and I feel so bad for him but I can’t help but start crying I’m laughing so hard about it imagine a guy high tailing it across salt flats away from a dude with a recorder

its so different to know it was an accident and that NO ONE was aware until after. its not like this was one ignorant guy cutting down a fucking relic.

everyone should have a balanced diet of both good music and music that fucking sucks. it's healthy. get over it.

strangely common misconception that words have basically the same meanings in every langauge and that translation is just a matter of identifying which exact word in the target language corresponds to the word in the original language

i went to tautology island and everyone there was there

I will reblog this every damn time!

Men are just as human as women, they have just as much negative internal dialog as we do, and they need people to be strong for them sometimes. Stop teaching boys they have to bottle up their emotions, that they are weak if they cry, and that they have to always be strong for everyone else. Teach them it’s ok to express their feelings and tell others what their emotional needs are! I lost my father this way. I’d give anything to go back and let Daddy know it’s ok to not always be the strong one and that just because he couldn’t physically do what he did before didn’t mean he didn’t have monumental value to us and value just being in this world!

After considerable feedback, here are the list of words that TERFs think are slurs:

These people are struggling lmao

just truly bonkers how much i love lying down..........like being horizontal? unparalleled

Video description: Dashcam video of a man driving. There are many examples of him doing the same thing in this two-minute video: as he drives down a rural highway, he notices a train locomotive on a track that parallels the road. He lets out a cry of anticiipation like “oho!” or “let’s go CSX!” He then honks on his car horn the pattern known as “shave and a haircut.” Each time, the train conductor responds with the correct answer, which is the two-beat pattern “two bits.” Each time, the driver joyously cries, “A-ha!”

I saw the post again where the OP is like "I don't care if you're autistic, you have to eat vegetables"

Sometimes a disability means you can't do a thing...That is what disability...Means.............

If you are an autistic person who sits around being judgmental and condescending toward every autistic person more disabled than you, you are a tar pit

what is up with all the self-proclaimed autistic people who can't even imagine an autistic person that is like...unable to do a thing. do u think disability is when you complain more

But seriously, I have a mild form of autism-related food aversion, and whenever a texture or taste triggers it, I just start heaving and gagging. I get heart palpitations from gritting my teeth and straining to keep from throwing up. It is just...not something I can control. Many other autistic people have much more severe sensory issues with food.

lowering my overall level of chronic overwhelm has helped me, but most foods that triggered this response when i was a kid still do that. I don't think i've ever been able to fully transition an "un-safe"food into a "safe" food. (It's happened with a few things, but some foods I previously liked have become randomly disgusting too...so it's kind of arbitrary.)

I eat a more varied diet now almost entirely because i've experimented with a lot of foods that i wasn't exposed to growing up and foods from other cultures.

my best advice if you have a hard time with vegetables is to...try different vegetables. stop wasting your time with stuff you already know you hate. you might have to go to a specialty grocery, farmer's market, or grow them yourself, but there are so many species and cultivars out there that have a totally different flavor and texture than the stuff that triggers you, and there is probably SOMETHING out there SOMEWHERE that will be The One.

the world will not end if you never learn to eat carrots and broccoli. there are thousands of vegetables that aren't carrots and broccoli

failing that, people literally do survive without eating anything culinarily considered a "vegetable." sure it's not ideal but loads of people with medical conditions severely restricting what they eat are living full and thriving lives. we have the technology. as a species we have decided your life has value. it will be okay
