I Kno This Is A #hot Take But There Is Nothing Wrong With Having Acne Actually, And Having Imperfect

The official Voltron website was taking forever to load and i seized the opportunity. 

What y’all think ‘gifted child’ discourse is saying: I used to be special and now I’m not and that makes me sad.

What ‘gifted child’ discourse is ACTUALLY saying: The way many educational systems treat children who’ve been identified as ‘gifted’ is actively harmful in that it a. obliges kids to give up socialising with their same-age peers in favour of constantly courting the approval of adult ‘mentors’ who mostly don’t give a shit about them, b. demands that they tie their entire identity to a set of standards that’s not merely unsustainable, but intentionally so, because its unstated purpose is to weed out the ‘unworthy’ rather than to provide useful goals for self-improvement, and c. denies them opportunities to learn useful life skills in favour of training them up in an excruciatingly narrow academic skill-set that’s basically useless outside of an institutional career path that the vast majority of them will never be allowed to pursue.

I love drawing cute scenes.

zero waste for socialists

slightly click-baity title but i’m getting really tired of ‘zero-waste’ shops and bloggers which advocate buying le parfait/mason/fancy new glass jars for storing your organic flour, couscous, oats, etc. 

those jars are fucking expensive (i don’t care if it’s a ‘one-off investment’ they are overpriced and not everyone can afford to invest in your bougie jars)

it sort of defeats the object of reducing your waste if you immediately go out and buy a whole set of brand new virgin glass jars to store stuff in. there is loads of glass packaging already in the world. USE IT. 

to replace this middle-class bullshit (this is zero-waste for the aesthetic first if ever i saw it) is simple and way cheaper:

go through your cupboards and find all your jams/pasta sauces/assorted nut butters.  use them (or chuck them out if they’re all old, no point hoarding ancient food), then wash very thoroughly and dry them (i’d recommend putting all your (glass only!) jars on a tray in the oven to dry as this will sterilise them too). then congratulations! you have a bunch of free reused jars to fill with rice/oats/organic chia and flaxseed muesli at the zero waste shop!

go on ebay/your local bring and buy facebook page/a charity shop and find ‘job lot glass jars’/’old jam jars’/similar. then rinse and repeat as before (literally). congratulations! you have sourced reused jars for a minimal cost to fill with your choice of obscure grains! (and potentially supported a fellow member of the proletariat trying to make a little extra money/a charity in the process!)

zero-waste shouldn’t be the new trend for the middle classes. it should be accessible to everyone because it matters. 

 a final point! whilst our individual actions can (and do) have a massive impact on the planet, and we should all make what changes we can to protect the environment, this means nothing so long as massive corporations are polluting water sources, destroying rainforests, dumping toxic chemicals in the oceans, exploiting poor migrant workers, and every other filthy trick they pull because they think they can. we need to hold these despicable companies (and the governments which enable them) to account! sign petitions, protest, boycott! do not allow them to get away with this!

This is truly the Hotel California of websites

The duality of this fandom will never cease to amaze me.

Guys, the liquid stuff you use when you make a pen mistake so you have to cover it over, what’s it called?

Aww adorable😻
