@girlcloudnine Who was it that recently said grocery shopping hauls were going to become the new signifiers of wealth going forward?

People who buy a bunch of shit and unpack it into dispensers are such losers. Get a real hobby

I really try not to be judgmental but man, I’ve despised consumerism from the moment I understood the word and influencers (among many other bad players) have normalized people seeing hyper-consumerism as a goal to achieve rather than a harm to protect against on a massive scale

@remastered_sol_ Why do they all dress and style themselves like that? Why is it cool to be carbon copies of one another?

Yo lo que no entiendo de estas cosas es como haces para que no te desvalijen

I am genuinely struggling to understand this logic. If the rest of the world is willing to pay a small toll to Iran to keep oil flowing and stabilise markets, then why does the U.S. feel the need to block all shipping, especially when it is not dependent on that oil?

@holly___xxx___ @ripplebrain @rvcbrice I was going to say… Iran has China backing them as well as Russia to some degree. And with more countries declaring no assistance to US/Israel, it’s keeping the field balanced. If US/IS loses U.K. launchpad it’ll tip the scales fully in favor of Iran

@ripplebrain @rvcbrice China is supplying them with the chemical precursors needed to make more missiles at this very moment.

Just taking a step back to appreciate the strategic double bind Trump is in: - If he gives into Iranian demands, the Democrats will crush him with his own rhetoric, portray him as weak, point out that "gave more money" to Iran than Obama did. The Iranians are holding firm in their demands and refusing to give in to pressure. The Israelis can blow up a deal at any moment, and Trump is clearly too weak to restrain them. - If he escalates he'll just double down on being responsible for sending gas to $6+ dollars a gallon and triggering a global economic depression. The longer the war drags out, the worse it'll be. There's no clear path to victory, and any deal he might be able to put together at a later date is likely to be even less favorable than the one he just refused. He's chosen to resolve this, apparently, by accelerating the negative economic effects of the war without directly attacking Iran. It makes no sense because there's no way out of this trap. This conflict is probably the most egregious unforced foreign policy error in American history.

@NoFilterSkin Reduced screen time. I opted to read more physical books. I think being removed not only from online social spaces/notifications, but also moving into the world of books helps one to get grounded and recentered with self. I read mixes of nonfiction and classical fictions

GIRLS WHO DONT GATEKEEP: what's something that dramatically improved your mental health??? i dont care how unhinged it may sound

韓国に「冷麺始めました」の幟旗があること、世界中のおばあちゃんがクッキーやチョコレートの空き缶を裁縫箱にしてること、飼いたくないと言っていた猫を溺愛するお父さんは世界中にいること (翻訳のニュアンスでの行き違いはあれど)言語の壁を超えて飛び込む怒涛の情報に改めて世界平和を祈るよ。

China transformou estacionamentos em jardins flutuantes para reduzir o calor urbano.

@kamonohashi_04 Happy birthday 🎉

離婚したとき 40歳の誕生日はひとりだとろうなと覚悟はしていた。 でも実際に現実になると、少しだけさみしい。 人生もそろそろ折り返し。 40歳の誕生日。節目の日。 今あるもの、これから手に入れられるものを大切に。 自分らしく、のんびりと。

what do these 2 colors remind you of?

@thenightbethore Over-consumption as personal identity

what do you call this genre of clothing because i really hate it

How are people carrying on as if Tuesday didn’t happen? Did most Americans really not know what was going on? Did they not care? Could they not grasp the reality of using a nuclear bomb on innocent people?

I am not someone with anxiety disorders, actually am someone that remains calm and composed as a baseline, especially in high stress/crisis situations. Yet I was feeling physical distress as we came closer to the “hour of doom”.

Is anyone else having a hard recalibrating back from the “end civilization” day? How terrible it felt as we got closer to the 8pm est hour? I cannot shake it off and idk if this normal “processing” of if normal is actually like it was nothing… which I simply cannot do

On a day when Trump is disbanding the US Forest Service and essentially dismissing all of the park rangers, it's pertinent to remember that we once had a Republican Party under Teddy Roosevelt that appreciated the environment and the importance of preserving it.

national forests are for us all. politicians elected to serve the people have become corrupt beyond redemption. these morally bankrupt ghouls will destroy what makes this country beautiful because it will enrich them personally. a better world is possible, but only if we make it

@MorePerfectUS it is a K-shaped economy, and you're not in it
