Oh look, there goes Ye Old Tradytional Wytch Robin Artisson vying for attention again
🙄🙄🙄🙄 grow the fuck up you islamaphobic prick. Oh no, one person said one thing that you found offensive.
Literally a perfect example of everything wrong with the Trad Craft community can be summed up in Artisson.
I googled him. Wow. Yuck.
Funny actually because Matt Auryn and several others are trying to act like they can’t find any evidence of his bullshit. A simple google search turns it up. I guess it speaks miles about them, doesn’t it?
The photo above is the closest humanity has ever come to creating Medusa. If you were to look at this, you would die instantly.
The image is of a reactor core lava formation in the basement of the Chernobyl nuclear plant. It’s called the Elephant’s Foot and weighs hundreds of tons, but is only a couple meters across.
Oh, and regarding the Medusa thing, this picture was taken through a mirror around the corner of the hallway. Because the wheeled camera they sent up to take pictures of it was destroyed by the radiation. The Elephant’s Foot is almost as if it is a living creature.
Friendly reminder that this blob of core material was so hot and dense, it melted/burned through three floors of the building before coming to rest in the lowest basement.
And there’s now a unique species of black mold that feeds off the gamma radiation it produces.
Is no one else seriously freaked out by that mold? No? Just me, then?
Ounce is the traditional name for the snow leopard. Although not really in common use anymore it is still an acceptable alternative name for the species.
I assume since “snow leopard” wouldn’t have fitted into the space it made sense for the person who made it to use ounce instead.
The way I see it, America will eventually have the choice between forgiving student debt or facing the massive destabilization caused by an entire generation being unable to build any wealth.
By destabilization I mean that the millennial generation will eventually become aware of the fact that they will be enslaved by their student debt for most of, if not their entire lives.
Many in this generation still had parents that were able to save and contribute financially to their children’s college education, but that’s also going to be a thing of the past when everyone has their own debt burden to carry well into adulthood – meaning the problem will become unimaginably worse for the next generation.
Once people realize this, you’ve got a social powder keg unheard of since the social question poised by the industrial revolution.
The entire student loan system is little more than a scheme meant to extract every last bit of present and future wealth from society’s youngest members, and the longer it continues, the uglier its inevitable end is going to be.
and so many millennials are choosing not to get married, or have kids because of all the debts they owe.
its having much more severe consequences than people want to admit.
PLUS!
One of the main critiques of socialism is that without the incentive to excel, no one will do their best job, and the system will fall apart as unmotivated people do worse and worse work. If you get the same housing and food and medical care whether you do good work or crappy work, why try?
But end-stage capitalism has the same problem, only without the guarantee of food and shelter. If you’re going to drown in debt your entire life and never be able to afford a house regardless of whether you work hard or don’t work hard, what incentive is there to slave away for your corporate masters?
We’re currently coasting on societally-imprinted work ethic and the myth that with hard work comes success. But as time goes by and it becomes more and more obvious that your hard work only enriches the oligarchs and you’ll never see a dime of that? Well before the powderkeg ignites we’ll see productivity drop through the basement because no one believes that being productive is worth the effort.
“If you’re going to drown in debt your entire life and never be able to
afford a house regardless of whether you work hard or don’t work hard,
what incentive is there to slave away for your corporate masters?”
God, I think about this almost every fucking day.
This is not solely an American problem either, though it is much more of an issue there. This more than just about any other issue is what is destroying my generations quality of life and mental health.
I’m Canadian and am in over $50,000 in debt from about 4 years of post secondary education. By the time I graduate it will probably be at least $60,000.
My tuition is relatively low $5000-6000 per year, but many Canadians are paying easily double this. The biggest cost for me is housing which is also growing out of control. I’m paying over $7,000 a year just in housing costs. I get grants for being a full time student, low income and for having permanent disabilities. But these grants barely cover a third of my yearly expenses. The rest ~$10,000+ all go to student loans.
I honestly have no idea how I’m ever going to get out of debt.
Maybe that’s not as bad as the states, but even this kind of debt can takes years to decades to pay off, especially if you do not have secure, high wage, full time employment after you graduate (whuch many will not have due to the precarious nature of this new economy).
This kind of debt load being placed on an entire generation is not sustainable. There will come a point where this whole system will collapse.
Y’all are some of the most disingenuous motherfuckers. I am exhausted. And I am really done with this trauma argument.
A confession: I have been harassed and verbally abused with it/its pronouns before.
I don’t fully understand why some trans people choose to use it pronouns for themselves, and I don’t follow anyone who does anymore because seeing someone referred to as “it” upsets me.
However, I do not shame or belittle trans folks who use it/its pronouns in a reclaiming fashion because it’s none of my business and I am not a piece of obnoxious shit.
If you have trauma associated with the word queer, then you need to respect me and yourself enough to not interact with my blog.
This blog literally has QUEER in its url, name, and description. Every other post on this blog contains the word QUEER. This blog is about QUEER people, for QUEER people, by a QUEER person.
No one is forcing you to interact with this blog. No one is forcing you to interact with the QUEER community. No one is forcing you to apply the word QUEER to your own identity.
Block blogs that have queer in their url. Add the word QUEER to your Tumblr tag blacklist. Download one of the many different apps and browser extensions that exist and use it to hide posts with the word QUEER in them.
Try taking at least some responsibility for your own mental health.
You aren’t queer? You don’t like the word? That’s fine. Your feelings and your trauma are valid.
But hear this: y’all need to leave QUEER people the FUCK alone.
Stop adding “queer is a slur” to our posts.
Stop inviting yourselves onto our posts to whine about the phrase “queer community”.
Don’t reblog our posts if you’re going to tag them with “#q slur”.
Stop making discourse of our genders and sexualities.
Stop trying to create rules over who is allowed to call themselves queer when you yourself are not queer.
Stop sending us invasive messages demanding to know “how” we’re queer or if we’re “really lgbt”.
Stop trying to make the queer community responsible for your personal baggage, as if we aren’t surviving with our own.
Let QUEER people live.
god yes OP
“Stop trying to make the queer community responsible for your personal baggage, as if we aren’t surviving with our own.”
