literally all tv shows should be limited series. figure out what ur doing and where ur going and pitch that i dont ever want to see a 5+ season show ever again
The only exception is Supernatural. I could easily watch another 14 seasons of it.
So pretty much everything most poor and busy people eat… lol this is why it’s important that they judge how effective drugs are in lifestyles behind suburban people and people in institutions with no control over their life.
it doesn't matter. you'll NEVER have a murder of crows circling ominously over you while you wear a slutty black outfit. idiot.
we have a guy like this in glasgow, Scotland, he’s called crow guy and the murder of crows follows him everywhere, here he is sitting down, I don’t know if the dog is his I think they just like sitting there with him

Do you know any cursed pumpkin facts?. I love pumpkins

growing Giant Pumpkins is an intense and highly competitive practice as growers produce larger and larger pumpkins every year and enter them in various competitions.
the largest pumpkins currently top a ton in weight, and seeds from these prize-winning goliaths can sell for hundreds of dollars apiece proving there is indeed such a thing as a Pedigree Pumpkin.
Did you know that in Oregon there is a boat race where the boats are pumpkins? It’s called the Giant Pumpkin Regatta and it looks like this:
Damariscotta Maine also has a pumpkin regatta, most are like the picture above where paddles are the propelling force but a special section has engines attached to the pumpkins
the pumpkinfest also gives out giant pumpkin seeds (for free!) for people to grow. During the festival you can see the racers construct their boats
this is all you need to see and know. im not going to subject you to a 2 mile post of vicious transphobia. if you see someone with “hygienic” in their url or description they’re probably a terf.
In case you need more evidence that terfs are fascists here they are using a tactic extremely common to the alt right.
When fascists make dogwhistles, they do it to make those dogwhistles sound intentionally stupid. Its why the alt right picked a picture of a cartoon frog or “clown world” or the milk emoji or the 👌 ok hand sign.
They do this so that when someone goes “hey I’m seeing a lot of pictures that are violently racist and antisemitic using pepe the frog” they can go “THESE SILLY LEFTISTS! GETTING OFFENDED OVER A CARTOON FROG! WHATS NEXT, GETTING OFFENDED THE SKY IS BLUE?” And onlookers unaware of stupid internet culture may assume that, yes, people are just offended by a cartoon frog.
Its the same shit. Terfs intentionally picked the term hygiene to use as their new dogwhistle, specifically so that the second anyone points out its a dogwhistle they can go “HAHA SO BATHING IS TRANSPHOBIC NOW? ITS TRANSPHOBIC TO BE HYGIENIC?” it is literally the same shit. It is so ppl unaware of what terfs believe and what they are become more sympathetic to them because calling them on their dogwhistles makes us look crazy.
Don’t fall for this shit. These people are fascists.
also: “hygienic” is literally like. a eugenics term. people who have the “incorrect” genetics or could “pass on undesirable traits” are referred to as. unhygienic. this isn’t just a thing they can use to mock people who protest it, it is specifically linked to fascist ideology as a term
Except America wasn’t an endless expanse of forest with no certain borders. At least not while human beings inhabited it. The idea that native peoples did not cultivate or shape our land and that we had no borders is white propaganda meant to dehumanize and de-legitimize native peoples.
This illustration here show Apalachee people using slash and burn methods for agriculture. Fires were set regularly to intention burn down forests and plains. Why would we do this? Well because an unregulated forest isn’t that great for people, actually. We set fires to destroy new forest growth and undergrowth, and to remove trees, allowing for easier game hunting, nutrient enriched soil, and better growth rates for crops and herbs we used in food and medicine.
Pre-Colonial New England, where my tribe the Abenaki are from, looked more like an extensive meadow or savannah with trees growing in pockets and groves. Enough woodland to support birds, deer, and moose, but not too much to make hunting difficult. We carefully shaped the land around us to suit our needs as a thriving and successful people. Slash and burn agriculture was practiced virtually everywhere in the new world, from the pacific coast to chesapeake bay, from panama to quebec. It was a highly successful way of revitalizing the land and promoting crop growth, as well as preventing massive forest fires that thrive in unregulated forests. Berries were the major source of fruit for my tribe, and we needed to burn the undergrowth so they could grow.
That changed when white people invaded, and brought with them disease. In my tribe, up to 9 in 10 people died. 90% of our people perished not from violence starvation, but from disease. Entire villages would be decimated, struck down by small pox. Suddenly, we couldn’t care for the land anymore. There weren’t enough of us to maintain a vast, carefully structured ecological system like we had for thousands of years. We didn’t have the numbers, or strength. So the trees grew back and unregulated. We couldn’t set fires anymore, and we couldn’t cultivate the land. And white people would make certain we never could again. Timber, after all, was the most important export from New England.
Endless trees and untamed wilderness is a nice fantasy. But it’s a very white fantasy, one that erases the history of my people and of my land. One that paints native peoples are merely parasites leeching off the land, not masters of the earth who new the right balance of hunting and agriculture. It robs us of our agency as people, and takes our accomplishments from us. Moreover, it implies that only white people ever discovered the power to shape the world around them, and that mere brown people can’t possibly have had anything to do with changing our environment.
Don’t bring back untamed wilderness. Bring back my fire setters, my tree sappers, my farmers and my fishers. Bring back my people who were here first.
