i always think about that study where they had adults hold a baby, and when they were told the baby was a girl the adults said she was cute and small, and when they were told the baby was a boy they said he was big and strong. they rated the baby’s ability to do things and tendency towards certain toys differently. they even held the baby differently. (x) or when they rated the baby’s physical ability to do various tasks such as climbing up a slope differently, (x) & when they measured how much parents told their girl children vs. their boy children to be careful and stop being so rowdy (x), & when they measured how often girls and boys were told to be quiet. (x) this was, obviously, all unconscious behavior in the adults. they’re not all like, raving sexists who outspokenly believe that women can’t do stuff or that girls really should just be quieter, be more still than boys. like its not even counting the direct, actual messages, its just literally how every single person in your entire life treats you, and if asked they would probably deny that its even because you’re a girl. how the fuck am i supposed to believe this doesn’t affect a child’s development when its literally constant throughout the entire process
every trans girl deserves a free nintendo switch reblog if you agree
Many scientists have been telling us how the world will look like, if we don’t act now. However, others, like Chan, are tracking what success might look like.
They are not simply day-dreamers either. They aren’t being too optimistic. They are putting together road maps for how to safely get to the planet envisioned in the 2015 Paris Agreement, where temperatures hold at 1.5 degrees Celsius higher than before we started burning fossil fuels, this article from July states.
“Three decades is enough to do a lot of important things. In the next few years—if we get started on them—they will pay dividends in the coming decades,” says Chan, the lead author of the chapter on achieving a sustainable future in a recent UN report that predicted the possible extinction of a million species.
Making these changes won’t mean years of being poor, cold and hungry before things get comfortable again, the scientists insist. They say that if we start acting seriously NOW, we stand a decent chance of transforming society without huge disruption.
No doubt, it will take a massive switch in society’s energy use. But without us noticing, that’s already happening. Not fast enough, maybe, but it is. Solar panels and offshore wind power plummet in price. Iceland and Paraguay have stripped the carbon from their grids, according to a new energy outlook report from Bloomberg. Europe is on track to be 90 per cent carbon-free by 2040. And Ottawa says that Canada is already at 81 per cent, thanks to hydro, nuclear, wind and solar.
Decarbonizing the whole economy is within grasp. We can do this.
“If we have five years of really sustained efforts, making sure we reorient our businesses and our governments toward sustainability, then from that point on, this transition will seem quite seamless. Because it will just be this gradual reshaping of options,” Chan says, adding: “All these things seem very natural when the system is changing around you.”
okay skyward sword zelda is already iconic
she's basically like link, what if you suck today? okay i'm gonna push you off this floating island. oops you're falling to your death, i'll catch you — now is my bird okay??
I think I actually like Harvey now..
but that's also hard because at the same time Sebastian is kind of fine too.
the bottom line is just, if you want trans people in your life, you need to be willing to stand up for us. if you want a trans presence in fandom then you need to take a stand against terfs when they pop up.
Some of yall didnt cry when Midna didnt finish telling Link she loved him and it shows.
i haven`t seen people spread this on tumblr, so
https://mariupol.is/stories/
here is the link to the online archive dedicated to life stories of mariupol siege survivors.
if you are a foreigner, i would highly encourage you to spread it and read them yourself. as a ukrainian, i hear those stories every day, be it through opening my social media account or through talking to my friends and acquaintances.
for foreigners the situation is a bit different: you hear most of the information about mariupol from news and, therefore, tend to get a more polished, purely informative read. but by reading just those articles, it`s easy to forget that stories behind them are those of real people. and it`s much harder to feel as emotionally distanced when you actually see a person whose leg was torn into pieces, instead of just hearing that those people exist.
which is why i think such projects are valuable. and which is why i would like for them to be more known.
