movies about apocalypses: it’s every man for himself!! you can’t trust anyone, it’s a wasteland of solo travelers and sad families, we’re alone out here
humans irl: *pack bond with strangers*
*pack bond with large carnivores*
*pack bond with robots in space thousands of miles away*
Apocalypse preppers who fantasise about all our artificial rules and governments falling away in times of chaos seem to forget that we invented those rules and governments. Over and over. When you put humans near each other, they group up and make a society; that’s why those governments exist. Do they think we magically stop doing that in dangerous situations? Because… we don’t.
hopepunk doesn’t have time for your racist doomsday hard-on, carl.
I love how dog behavior can be so breed-specific. Like, sure, it makes sense to me that broad-stroke things like “this one is more friendly, this one is more alert” can be genetic. But apparently there is a combination of genes that codes for “chase prey animals into a tight herd but don’t attack them.” And a different combination of genes that codes for “run after things, pick them up gently, and take them to a person.” It’s not just training; you can see these behaviors even in little puppies that have never been exposed to the situation before. I think that’s delightful and kind of mysterious.
I was just about to ask to join a “Awkward Black Women” dinner club / support group until I continued to read the group rules and saw “We do not accept requests from ladies without a picture of themselves in their avi!” and my Passe Blanc Creole ass knows EXACTLY what the fuck they mean by that shit
So, uh, Hot Take for tonight: joining a support group for a marginalized people(s) that you belong to shouldn’t be this hard.
tbh when Jameela Jamil was calling these celebrities the fuck out and she said “How much money do you need? Really how much money do you need? How much money do any of these huge influencers who are worth millions or billions sometimes… How much more?” i felt that in my bones
When she called the Kardashians “double agents for the patriachry” for profiting off a patriarchal narrative and selling women self consciousness, I felt that on a spiritual level.
