@proWhitePropa @Rightanglenews if they carve it, then everyone after them has to look at what they wrote. it's tacky. essentially graffiti. Nature is touchable- just leave it like you found it

Im anti indian immigration, but i dont get whats the problem here. What exactly did they do, that is so bad? Nature is meant to be touchable, interactable. If its forbidden to throw rocks around or carve something, then we will make our connection sterile, just like watching through a screen. If they would be chipping and drilling with powertools to forcefully destroy and or steal, then thats another thing, which i would understand. So please help me understand?

U.S. Forest Service law enforcement is now asking for the public’s help identifying a group of Indian nationals seen defacing Cathedral Rock in Sedona, Arizona, a sacred Native American site, with furious Americans demanding their immediate deportation.

@learning_yohei Ends in Nai not ni - but there is a word that’ ends in ni… Jiminy Cricket 😁 Pinocchio’s conscience. Cultural insight: people in the past used to say “Jiminy Cricket” instead of “jesus Christ” as an emphatic phrase.

To everyone who loves Japan: What made you interested in this country first? Anime? Food? History? Travel? Games? Culture? I’d love to hear your Japan story.

@tuuu28283 Highway = stop lights/stop signs and intersections and you can go fast between stops. freeway = no stops, on/off ramps, no crossroads. (freely travel) interstate = really big freeway that goes through many states I don’t normally encounter toll roads. From California

Imagine if this whole time Zahi Hawass was like that Medjai dude from The Mummy, trying to keep us all safe. We ignore him, we dig on the plateau and we awaken the old gods he had sworn to protect humanity from. Now that'd be a plot twist worthy of 2026.

@avidseries AI apparently updates its database- ran the post thru Gemini, and it confirmed that this was testimony in trials. So did ChatGPT

@GayRepublicSwag Sorry for your loss 🥺 It’s never too early to start eating healthy- unfortunately “healthy” varies by who you talk to- and that’s a problem. It’s confusing.

@hskenncutter The graphic is adorable and that dish looks amazing. Some regions of the USA might have trouble finding finding some of those ingredients, but online Japanese grocery stores have them :)

昨日つくった『海老ごま味噌グリッツ』の内容をまとめました。アメリカ南部料理の定番を上手く日本風に翻案できたと思います。グリッツ以外の食材は全て日本のスーパーマーケットで買えるものですが、逆にアメリカでは入手が難しいものもあるかもしれませんね。

@learning_yohei To learn other languages you have to be willing to speak to people. you won’t be perfect. You will make mistakes. It’s okay. The listener will know that you’re learning. that’s how it’s supposed to work 🤗 if they’re rude, they’re the problem, not you.

Myth: "I only wear vegan fabrics. Better for the animals, better for the planet." Let's check in on Doris's annual contribution. Once a year, in late spring, Doris is sheared. The procedure takes approximately three minutes. Doris does not enjoy it. Doris does not, by any visible measure, suffer from it. Doris is, immediately afterwards, a noticeably more comfortable animal in the British summer. The fleece weighs approximately 3 kilograms. It is sold to the British Wool Marketing Board for, depending on the year, between £0.40 and £2.50 per kilogram. The shearing costs more than the wool fetches. Brian is shearing Doris at a loss. The wool is then: - Naturally flame-retardant - Naturally antibacterial - Moisture-wicking - Biodegradable - Renewable, annually - Carbon-storing while in use The replacement, in performance fabrics: - Polyester - Polyamide - Acrylic - Polypropylene - All petroleum-derived - All shedding microplastics on every wash - All requiring fossil fuel inputs to produce - All non-biodegradable, with a typical landfill lifespan of 200-500 years A single wash of a polyester fleece can release up to 700,000 microplastic fibres into the water system. These fibres are now in: every tested water source on earth, every tested human placenta, every tested rainfall sample, the deep ocean, the Arctic ice, and the lungs of marine mammals. A single wash of a wool jumper releases: nothing. The wool, when eventually disposed of, returns to soil within a few years. The fabric being marketed as the "ethical" alternative to wool is plastic. The plastic is "ethical" because nobody has been asked to slaughter the polymer. The polymer also has not been asked. Doris, by being a sheep on a fell, is producing the most thoroughly sustainable performance fabric humans have ever made. Brian is selling it at a loss. The fashion industry, meanwhile, is selling petroleum at a profit and calling it ethical. Reject plastic. Wear wool. Doris is, this morning, growing next year's batch.

“You either need to transition your child or you don’t get to keep your child.” Attorney Erin Friday says California Child Protective Services can threaten parents who refuse to use their child’s preferred pronouns. She told me she feared calling the police when her 13 year old daughter ran away because she worried CPS would take her child. “My daughter, who was 13 years old, just starting high school, was secretly socially transitioned at school.” “The school started to call my daughter by a male name, use male pronouns.” “When I called the school and told them to stop, that next week Child Protective Services was at my door.” “The next day, the police.” “That was an immediate alert to me that the school wants to parent my child.” “If I didn’t follow and call my daughter a boy, Child Protective Services may come and take my child away.” “Parents in Southern California had lost custody of their children because they wouldn’t transition their daughter.” “I already had a black mark, and a few months later my daughter ran away.” “The normal thing for a parent to do is to ask law enforcement to help find your child… but I couldn’t make that phone call.” “Because Child Protective Services can swoop in anytime and take my child.” “It’s coercion at its highest level.” “You don’t get to parent your child.” “This is America. This is insane.” @erinfriday75490

Today I learned that the nursery song that starts “Alouette, Gentille Alouette…” is about plucking a Lark’s feathers out part by part 😧🙀🫣

@monsterhunter45 I loved reading - then high school happened 😂 My husband is a reader too. Different genres though. Our tastes overlap on MHI, Iron Druid, and Dresden

Threads like this are always a hoot. Some sanctimonious Dunning-Krugerand talks about how MEN DON'T READ and then to justify their view they tell a story which makes reading sound absolutely horrific, boring, and incredibly fucking lame to regular dudes. Men didn't come to my gay/feminist book club to discuss Proust! And then they go SEE?! SEE?!? Meanwhile, I'm just here happily writing book #34, after selling millions of copies worldwide of my other books, mostly to an audience of dudes who are nothing like the idiot bullshit caricatures cooked up by these perpetually angsty feminists. Go figure. Lots of dudes read, and more are inclined to read when they know about books that actually sound interesting to them. The biggest issue is our system shoves pseudointellectual academic boredom or feminist girl power manifestos down teen boys' throats and then acts baffled why those guys grow up thinking reading sucks. Well no shit regular dudes think reading is a chore. You assholes forced them to analyze the Great Gatsby for four months straight. I've written longer books faster. Then if they survived that boring ass pretentious slog of vapid New Yorkers being horrible to each other, you made them read the Scarlet Letter for the rest of the year, where everything sucks, everyone is sad, people are garbage, the end. Now make them write another essay about the transsexual Marxist symbolism that's not actually in the book but some professor hallucinated a hundred years later. OR... crazy idea... hear me out... Let boys read books that they actually find entertaining so that reading becomes fun and natural. GASP. OUTRAGE. HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE CLASSICS!?! REEEEE This shit isn't nearly as complicated as twitter weirdos make it out to be. But what do I know? I'm just one of the writers that men who read actually read. :D
lele@LIBRAL0GY

the whole “women only read smut booktok slop” male cope is so funny. I organized two classic english lit bookclubs in my university and 95% of the participantes were women. the few men who joined it were gay
