Fuck It, Reblog To Give The Person You Rb'ed This From A Freshly Baked Buttery Croissant.

We saw some good birds (and lizards tuatara) on our trip to Wellington last week! The Zealandia sanctuary is awesome.

The one I was most excited to see was the shining bronze cuckoo (green on the back, white and brown striped on the front in the photos above). As a child I learned about cuckoos laying their eggs in other birds' nests and leaving another species to raise them - but this is the first time I actually saw it in action! That baby cuckoo was sitting there going beep beep beep while a poor tiny grey warbler dashed around trying to find enough food for her giant son.

I still have my doubts that Luigi is really The Claims Adjuster, because I simply do not believe the cops at their word, but even if he is really the guy and he is a right-winger, then that means he chose to take all the hatred in his heart and point it against our oppressors instead of lashing out against the marginalized. That's a good thing.

Let's judge him based on what he chose to act on, and may all right wingers follow his example.

did u hear they are making people who love and care about you. they are calling them “friends” and you can find them online if you post weird enough!

Duke: I have a stalker

Tim: It's okay.

Duke: How is that okay?

Tim: Don't worry, I've been stalking them for months.

Duke:....

Duke: You've been stalking my stalker?

Tim: Yup, and to be honest, they're nothing special. You can do better.

Duke:...

Duke: Jason, he's doing it again!

Jason: Oh for the love of--- he just got out of rehab!

You know the American history courses I took always stopped around the 80s

Only AP went further, and it never focused too much on the 90s or the 00s even though you could very well do that.

And have it to be more relevant than whatever the fuckboys were touting in the 1700s.

I just think that that’s interesting.

America was doing all manners of nonsense in the periods you’re not taught about.

I mean maybe it’s different in other American high schools.

But I personally think that American history should focus more on the gulf war.

Maybe on Israeli-Palestinian relations.

African SAPs.

The colonialist policies of the IMF and World Bank.

Seriously why the fuck do we bother so much with the Founding Fathers and all their blathering about freedom while black women waited on their children?

Americans should be learning about how their capitalist system has fucked over every country they’ve written off as backwards.

Like I have no idea how us history is taught in other schools.

But I get the feeling that America would rather focus on the “distant” past.

America doesn’t wanna talk about the war on terror or Iran contra or the AIDS epidemic or the six day war and why we and Britain fucked up an entire region after world war 2.

Or how we started terrorist groups and put military dictatorships in place to protect our companies and their profits.

Or how the institutions that we essentially control are keeping those in poverty in poverty.

Seriously.

Enough with James Madison, who cares about human rights when your own government ignores the blatant human rights violations of a country that we’re allies with?

Come on.

American history can start with the damn Boston tea “massacre” if it wants, but why don’t we linger some more on Afghanistan?

We were involved.

We watched while our shock therapy programs fucked up Yugoslavia.

We watched while capitalism put nationalism in power and stirred ethnic violence.

And guess what?

American history is rooted in colonialism.

Which had a hand in the Rwandan genocide.

Which was ignored and debated in the UN, controlled monetarily by yours truly.

So please for the love of god.

Talk about the War of 1812 for like a day.

Go over American intervention in places it doesn’t belong for the rest of the year.

Go over slavery, yes, go in depth about reconstruction and segregation. These are important parts of American history.

But so is the era America decided its companies needed steady markets from every portion of the world so they could make billions instead of millions and decided to fuck everyone else over in the process.

the fact that people are celebrating the CEO's death and cosplaying the assassin just like the fucking joker movie is never gonna not be hilarious to me

They got him in Pennsylvania. Some shit-brained class traitor old lady ratted on him.

Remember this: they are going to drag his name through the mud. Believe none of it. Maintain the knowledge that he is the single most heroic man in the last 80 years. Firmly know what we all know: he deserves freedom. With any hope, the jury will nullify. Remember that they spent every cent they could chasing him down while untold numbers of murders remain unsolved and uncared for. Remember that he was kind to service workers. Remember it all. Do not let the scolds and "political violence bad" creeps change your opinion. Do not listen to the news. Do not listen to the government. They want you to hate him, and they will say and do anything to stop what he started. Don't let them.

If I don't start seeing AO3 tags with "no beta we die like the UHC CEO" I'm gonna lose what little faith I have in humanity
