If You See This You’re Legally Obligated To Reblog And Tag With The Book You’re Currently Reading

i’m so glad earth only has one moon, if there were more i’d have to pick a favorite and that sounds too emotionally taxing to even fathom

I relate to monkeys who tear people's faces off more than any person.

This post expanded as I was reading it

This is frustrating.

I love the comparison, but I hate how they are comparing.

They are acting like she is using optics to give herself an advantage. But the device she is wearing is just for comfort and essentially does the same thing as closing one eye and squinting the other.

The little thing over the left eye is basically like an eye patch.

And the thing over her right eye is a mechanical iris, like in a camera lens, but it is NOT a lens.

Different lighting environments are going to be brighter or darker and you may have to squint more or less to let in the same amount of light into your eye. Squinting allows the shooter to get the sharpest possible vision in order to shoot a bullseye the size of a 12-point Times New Roman period.

But if you have to squint for hours for practice and in competition, this can strain your face muscles and become uncomfortable. So this iris basically squints for you.

It's more like wearing comfortable shoes so your feet do not hurt than a lens magnifying the target and giving an advantage.

Both athletes have access to these items. One felt more comfortable without them. The other didn't feel like getting a muscle cramp from squinting all day.

Either would have shot the same if they had or had not used these devices.

Just a funny difference in gear preference.

I should also add, the Turkish dad is the only one using lenses.

IMO, Communism is basically dead in the states. Kids are taught not of Marx's word, but of Stalin's. Therefore, when they look for an alternative for our hell-hole of Capitalism, they will look to something worse, as they know no better.

Anarchists in a squat's garden shed made my HRT. My local communist party... Sold me a newspaper subscription?

Yes, this is why I said that US communists should take mutual aid more seriously. Communists in states like Cuba and China are making and distributing HRT on a scale that US anarchists can only dream of. The “communist” movement in the US is currently dominated by socdems and trotskyists with practically no connection to the masses—a more effective movement is both possible and necessary, and systematized mutual aid work will be an important step.

Leave me alone on my internet island!

"Some of the most hateful bigots"

The same pope who spoke against oppression of any people? The same church which has a specific wing to protect LGBT people in areas where they are oppressed?

They aren't perfect, but I think it's best not to complain about an organization that tries to help people, and has done more than we ever could.

alrighty, pope's dead. share your most memorable Childhood Catholic Trauma in the notes

Tabletop RPG setting where magic is real, but only for robots.

I love the intersection of passionately Christian Queer Tumble people.
