Thoughtful reminder that the tunic Martin the Warrior is pictured wearing in his portrait on the Redwall Friend & Foe foldout poster is very likely the one he received at Noonvale.
He probably borrowed it from one of Rose’s buddies who was like “here take this one mate” and Martin put it on and was like “this is nice I’m keeping it” and the poor guy just never got it back
this is gonna be an extremely unpopular opinion so bare with me, but i don’t think children should be vaccinated unless they really absolutely want to be and if they grow up into adults who still don’t want to be vaccinated then so be it.
kids are too young to fully grasp what vaccination does to you, and i don’t mean that in a “they’ll make you autistic and die” way. i mean they don’t understand what they’re setting themselves up for in the future. (shots are pretty traumatic for children too, but that’s for another day.) if a child is too young to consent to sex or medical transition if they’re trans, they’re definitely too young to consent to a vax.
i haven’t had any contact with my family for quite some time now, so i have a hard time knowing my medical history, especially with my lack of health insurance and a move to a different country.
because of that, i live with the constant fear that i might have been vaccinated against rabies. my family was extremely poor and had spotty health insurance but its hard to say. but its fucking heartbreaking to know i might never be fully rabid because my parent might have vaccinated me as a child, when i was too young to know, too young to have a say in it.
how many other kids are there, just like me? how many adults have grown up miserable because they’ve been vaccinated against their genetic disposition for a certain disease? its practically eugenics and it makes me fuckin sick to my stomach. there are babies RIGHT NOW getting vaxxed bc “thats what’s healthy for them” and their parents have no idea how much grief they’re causing right now.
so yea, maybe stop vaxxing your kids??
at first i was like “yeah okay this a dumb but manageable take” and then op went for the rabies thing and my soul left my body
hopefully the next thing gen z/millennials kill are unpaid internships because those things are evil and radiate the most demonic energy
for those who are gonna comment: “but they help with experience!!1!!1”,, sure, in some aspects an unpaid internship can help a young person get more familiar with the field they want to get into. BUT, unpaid experience doesn’t pay the bills.
the worst part about unpaid internships is that it’s not for every financial situation. being in high school, I would feel so left out to hear my peers talk about their cool *unpaid* internships at headquarters and political offices. I became envious of how great their college apps would look while mines would have….. no mentions of interning at those cool places.
but I knew that if I decided to work for free instead of getting a job that PAID, it wouldn’t benefit me or my family. the kids who were able to participate in unpaid internship could because it wouldn’t hurt their family’s financial situation. for the most part, people who are able to work for free can go home later on, and not have to worry about how it’ll tamper with how their family will pay the bills and basic necessities next month.
companies who exploit young people for their skills in technology, communication, etc are sick, and hopefully this sick trend that lingers among our generation will be put to an end. If a company is using someone to work for a consecutive amount of hours in order to utilize a set of skills that will put the company at an advantage….. they NEED to get paid. point blank. working for free should NEVER be normalized. fuck the “experience”, if I’m working for you, please pay me bitch!! if I’m using ANY type of skill for HOURS that’ll help your company or cause, please pay me bitch!!
now that I’m out of high school, I am no longer envious of the kids who worked for FREE because it would look better on college apps. (bc thankfully I still managed to get into a good school). Instead, I am infuriated at the companies who took advantage of their knowledge and skills, when those companies damn well had the money to give PAID internships. experience and exposure is cute, but they need to start running us our money.
It’s not only about free labour, it’s about adding another barrier for outsiders I.e. poor people to overcome. As more working class people access college and prestigious colleges at that they need something else to keep them out of power industries like finance, media and publishing where people with connections and the resources to access these kinds of “opportunities” take them and continue to dominate.
Without a wealthy family it’s much harder is it to live in somewhere like London/NYC to intern at an investment bank and so it rewards connections, not talent
Glad to see my lifelong disinterest in golf is paying off
let me tell you about golf
i grew up in a little desert valley called Tucson, Arizona, where it only rains 2 inches a year on average. the majority of the city’s water is pumped from an underground aquifer, which took millions of years to fill. one of the biggest conservation efforts in our city was for water, naturally, and i spent a lot of time learning about low flow toilets and 5 minute showers. i learned that filling your sink basin and washing your dishes in that water is less costly than running the tap. i learned that it only takes 2 days without water on the desert for someone to die
the city was sinking as the aquifer drained. neighborhoods fell into flood zones that didnt exist 10 years ago
there’s a road called Golf Links in the city and it is lined with golf courses. miles of green grass where grass doesn’t grow, in a valley where it doesn’t rain. why? because the rich white retirees who moved there to stop the aching in their joints decided they should also get to play golf. meanwhile our public schools taught small children like me that taking long showers would kill the world
let the golf industry burn
There are 15,500+ golf courses in the United States alone.
You don’t have to do anything sexual that you’re not interested in. Moreover, you don’t have to explain why. “No” is a complete sentence.
Not interested in getting pegged? You don’t have to. Monogamous and not into the idea of another partner? Okay. Not sure about period sex? Cool.
And if your partner decides to question or mock your maturity or your masculinity or your sexuality because you say no? It’s time to re-evaluate the relationship. See if you don’t deserve better than that.
