I know most of tumblr is thinking about the USA right now. but fuck the nz government right now too. tomorrow, the treaty principles bill, the 'worst, most comprehensive breach of Te Tiriti in modern times' is being introduced to parliament early, because there were activations planned country wide and the cowards decided to pull it forwards. fuck this government. a friend of mine had to go home early, crying. I've been in shock all day since it came out.
check on your Māori friends, e hoa mā. see what they need. see how you can help. everyday, we see and experience racism. from people around us, up to our government. community care will save us.

When you think of yourself as a living tool that's just there to perform a function, but then you realize there are people out there who see you as a living being and they'd be upset if you died, and you're like, oh, now I guess I'm literally going to have to fight death haha
This was wildly illegal last time Musk did it, but he wasn't arrested and laws no longer apply to republicans, so here we are.
I beg of you, Wisconsin. Save your bodily autonomy, non-gerrymandered maps, and stand up against vote buying by voting for Susan Crawford in the April 1st election.
'Boeing’s aircraft is considered the most prominent private aircraft in the world, used by governments and dignitaries.'
Going after Boeing (which they should) would probably be considered political suicide, because of how hard untangling the US government from Boeing would be.

I’ve been patiently waiting for a nice second-hand wood dresser to appear on fb marketplace or at Goodwill for months. Finally, I grabbed this one yesterday for $50.
My inspiration for this project are some dressers I saw at Anthropology that have gorgeous carved details. But I want my dresser to cost $200 or less rather than $2,000.
Of course I can’t add actual hand-carved wood, but I’ve got clay and some silicon molds + epoxy and a potential overconfidence in my DIY abilities.
First up, I removed the existing hardware and sanded this pretty lady down. She is now looking MUCH better without all those terrible stains (and the drawer pulls weren’t doing it for her, tbh).
Up next, I’ll give her a paint wash or three and start trying my hand at faking some carvings!
Not quite the same, but check out the days ordering on this Weekly Planner fridge magnet that my housemate bought.
We ended up using a label maker to fix Tuesday and Wednesday.
me at any given time: can we just buckle down and focus on the task at hand please???

Ive never really met anyone that thought of ribs as interesting… that’s such a shame. Ribs and the things they do are fascinating…. I think about them everyday.
Air bags and seatbelts don't save those in the car in every car crash, and helmets don't save the rider in every bike crash.
Nonetheless, these safety measures save thousands of lives. Cyclists are free to make a variety of choices about what (else) they wear, from naked bike ride participants through to sensible F1 motorcycle gear. But appropriate helmets should be mandatory across the whole range, because we need to protect people on their shittiest days.
"Anarchist" but gets triggered when people voluntarily don't wear bicycle helmets.

I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD
