SPeaking of venus fly traps I still love that people have actually bred some cultivars into having more cartoonish jagged teeth

I think the one in the photo is what they call “shark tooth” but there are other saw toothed breeds too like these from flytrapcare.com:

the athiesm of women/people of color/lgbt people is absolutely different than the athiesm of cishet white men and i feel like people forget that a lot

how?

Don’t have spoons for long explanation - also this is only speaking for christianity - but religion has been a force of oppression for women, people of color, and lgbt+ people and the rejection of the religion is often coupled with the rejection of how religion treats them.

I’ll also say that abuse survivors are included in this because it is a reaction to and an attempt to reconcile how (christian) god would allow abuse to happen.

For straight white men atheism is usually rooted in intellectual and rational superiority complexes. It’s a “i am more rational and intelligent than you, how can you believe in something so obviously fake” thing as opposed to a reaction to a societal institution that upholds their oppression and abuse.

Women, PoC, Queer people, immigrants, trauma survivors, etc:  How can I believe in something that teaches you to be cruel?  How can I trust the books that tell me of peace and love, when you use your faith to hurt me?  How can a loving god allow [insert injustice of the day]?

White Men: I, as an Intellectual, eschew silly superstitions that say I might, someday, after my death, face one (1) single consequence.

Drunk Poems for Redacted 2/2

You said my lips were lightning

My songs just like the winds

You said my eyes were oceans

That there was mischief in my grin

You said my arms were home

That my ribs sang lullabies

That my heart felt safe

That it made yours race

Whenever you spent the night

You said you loved forever

That our souls would never grieve

You used all that magic in your words

Then still decided to leave

They say a gun cant kill someone itself. Well. Neither can e.coli infected romaine lettuce, but instead of encouraging increased consumption, they removed the lettuce from society and the company responsible ended their harvest.

America, y'all. :/

my great-grandfather had to leave italy in the 20′s because he hit a fascist with a tuba, so if you think I am going to take this sitting down you are going to have to catch these hands and also this tuba

Fun story my Great Great Grandma left Germany in the 1920s because she had family in the US and could get citizenship pretty easily and once she was over in the US she then smuggled over 15 jewish families out by forging family documents so now my aunts are currently in the process of trying to tell the real ones from the fake ones because my great gran just died and there are legally over 100 surviving descendants but we know that math is a lil screwy.

Sometimes a family is you, your kids, your grandkids, your great grandkids, and the 15 Jewish families you helped smuggle out of Nazi Germany.
