Supporting local farmers and encouraging others to do so does more for the welfare of animals and environment than being vegan.
British shows are funny
A role model for us all
One can only aspire to be this legendary…. I would lay down my life for her
How tf does she stay this calm
Even just having to read the subtitles of what those dumbasses are saying filled me with an ungodly form of rage… that queen needs an award for how she handled them asap
Annnnd our parents and grandparents never taught us basic life skills because the baby boomer generation loved outsourcing easy work, like hemming pants and baking cakes. The generations before us glommed onto the fast, easy fix, and important skills have been lost in the process.
(And of course the generation who raised us loves to act fake shocked like “my grandkids don’t know how to boil water” like yeah, Janice, that’s because you took your kids out to eat 6 nights a week and baked Stouffers lasagna one night)
And now we are broke. And can’t afford to pay $60 to have every pair of pants we own hemmed (shoutout to shorties!). We are making yogurt because we can’t afford to pay $2.50 for one yogurt.
I’ve learned to knit to make myself wool hats and scarves. I’ve learned to sew so I can make items that would otherwise cost me 4x the cost to make it. I’ve learned to make yogurt because I would prefer to spend $2 for a gallon of milk and get 24 yogurts out of it rather than just one.
I’ve planted fruit trees in my yard so I can reduce the carbon footprint of the fruit I eat, and because produce is expensive.
I raise egg-laying chickens so I don’t contribute to factory farming.
My husband hunts deer so that we can eat lean, virtually fat free meat, and also not contribute to factory farming. The deer live happy lives and are not allowed to suffer. (Hey PS also, hunting up here plays an important role in ecology, as otherwise the deer population would explode, and deer would starve in the winter. Thanks for coming to my TEDta…)
My generation is going on YouTube to learn to change tires, bake bread and do their taxes because y’all sure as shit didn’t teach us.

Lets not forget the phasing out of the HomeEc class. Or the Shop Class.
Alleviating one’s ignorance of a subject should NEVER, EVER be looked down on! Learning and growing are never anything to be shamed of, or for!
when someone is a christian they are not constantly asked their position on the holocaust the transatlantic slave trade the extermination of native americans or any of the thousands of atrocities committed by christians so why do muslims get asked about terrorism and jewish people about israel and are grouped in with specific bad people while christians are not required to explain themselves??
goyim and non muslims can and should reblog
[christians and all sectors of christianity that means you]
unpopular opinion but kids crying and freaking out is never funny. tricking them so they have a meltdown is not funny and youre literally evil to torture a child like that. and you should never upload pictures or videos of youre kids crying or getting upset and freakin out, no matter how old or “unacceptable” it is
He was a trans man you fucking freaks
Imagine hating trans men so much that you read the history of someone who presented as a man for so long that most people only discovered he was ~biologically female~ after his fucking autopsy and be like “well clearly he was just gender fluid” I’m fucking
he specifically asked to be buried in the clothes he died in!!!!! we only know he was trans bc someone disrespected his direct wishes after his death!!!!!!
This is some #BlackGirlsMagic
I found the company who makes them in case anyone else is interested!
This is why adaptable equipment is important!! Gives more power back to the user to live their life in the best way for them. Unfortunately a lot of times it is cost prohibitive and hard to find- that’s where allies and activists (and #socialworkers #BlackTumblr #BlackTwitter) can help.

I don’t think parents realize exactly how much their relationship dynamics affects the future relationships of their children
Now that I’m grown l can say with absolute certainty that the effects of growing up watching 2 people in a dysfunctional relationship have seeped into multiple facets of my life
And that’s the thing about growing up. You don’t even realize how traumatized you are from seeing all that until you’re an adult and then one night you dare to be a little introspective, then suddenly you’re connecting dots and unpacking all this baggage you didn’t know you were carrying on your back this whole time. And you have to unpack it. You have to. Because if you don’t, the cycle continues
