Across 35 nations, a median of 26% do not identify with any political party in their country. In countries where more people are unaffiliated with any political party, popular support for representative democracy is also lower.

Disabled people deserve a living wage

This means there shouldn’t be ridiculous limits on how much someone can make while on disability benefits

I’d like to add that this also means acknowledging that being disabled is often expensive, and thus should actually be given proportionately more to ensure they can afford expenses like wheelchairs, medically prescribed diets, prosthetics, modified vehicles, and accessible housing as needed for their condition.

no-more-good-ole-boys:

Some aspects of “boys will be boys” are okay and some are not. It is okay for boys to get covered in mud. It is okay for boys to play sports. It is okay for boys to be strong. When it becomes not okay is when boys get destructive. One Percent Feminists are not trying to make boys into girls. We’re just trying to convince you that you can be softer and gentler and still be a boy. You don’t have to give your buddy slug bugs. You can give your buddy kisses instead and you’re still masculine. You don’t have to dominate your girlfriend. You can let her be strong too and you’re still masculine. You don’t have to be a macho pig to be a man.

i wonder how many white “anime inspired owo” artists on this fuck site have any idea that when they draw their (esp underage) characters in a seifuku - with an outrageously short skirt that blows up provocatively- that they are unwittingly perpetuating JK culture (aka a phenomena linked with pedophilia and human trafficking of underage girls) and further cementing it in the west as a portrayal of japan and trying to make it seem positive and cutesy that they do so.

you can reblog this if you want btw like im not trying to “pull one over” these white artists or whatever i just find it really ignorant how this isn’t recognized as a problem but tbh have crusty weebs ever truly cared ab the genuine issues of the country they fetishize? no

remember at the rio olympics when they revealed how the olympics village is basically just a giant fuckfest and how they had to give out like hundred thousand condoms well i just checked and

I am sorry what

yeah olympians like to FUCK

I hope it was all very gay

proof the olympics is a greek invention

the greeks would be so proud

Yea this has been like an open secret since the 90’s. The vast majority of olympians are out of medal contention like IMMEDIATELY when competition starts. So then you’re there. For two weeks. With thousands of other world class athletes in great shape. And the thing you’ve been training forever for is out the window. However will you pass the time … with all the super hot athletes … mostly in their twenties… in the fantastic Olympic village ?? 🤔🤔🤔

Olympics AU, anyone?

i.e. why when you or someone else gets stabbed or impaled, you should leave the object in the wound until medical help arrives.

THIS. RIGHT HERE. This is an amazing example!!

If you take the thing out, they’re going to bleed a lot more.

SO. DONT.

News Flash from the Medical Help ™ — we don’t touch it either! Unless the object they’re impaled with is literally too big to fit in the ambulance, We. Don’t. Touch. The. Thing.

The only people qualified to Take-The-Thing-Out are surgeons. End of story.

Okay, but for the love of God, please, PLEASE, if you did, if you panicked and took the thing out…. DON’T…. PUT IT BACK IN.

Or else, congratulations, you just stabbed them AGAIN. I reeeeeally shouldn’t have to say this guys, but I do.

I don’t get why people have done literally zero research about veganism love to argue with people who have spent years being vegan. Who have read books, googled everything, and are really passionate about a serious life long commitment.

It’s always hilarious because people often think that vegans know nothing about animal farming, failing to understand that most of us go vegan precisely because of what we know about farming. Your average vegan is far more knowledgeable about farming practices than your average meat eater. This can be demonstrated no more clearly than by looking at the comments on any vegan post and seeing the same old demonstrably false arguments stated with complete confidence, almost word for word, over and over again.

Hey, did you know Border Patrol agents are fond of destroying the food and water caches left in the desert crossing so people don’t die of hunger and thirst?

179 people died crossing between Mexico and Arizona last year, where this happened.

Way to contribute to the deaths of innocent people, sworn officers of the American government!

Regardless of your views on immigration and “illegal” aliens, this is reprehensible. Nothing positive could possibly be gained from such behavior. This is pure cruelty and the result could result in the death of people who, by no stretch of the imagination, could possibly be worthy of a death sentence.

a bunch of people will drive into the desert with guns and shoot holes in water tanks that the green valley samaritans leave out there it’s sickening

Fuck the border agents & every us govt official who knowingly let’s poor people die.

Trump won't stop tearing up official papers so the White House archives employ a staff to tape them back together for the National Archives

Trump is notorious for his “filing system”: when he is finished with a piece of paper, he tears it into tiny pieces and throws it away, which is fine if you’re a CEO (maybe), but is radioactively illegal under the Presidential Records Act, because the President works for the public, and is required by law to archive their official papers and save them for public scrutiny.

White House staffers gave up on trying to explain this to Trump, who just kept on tearing up everything, from official letters from Senators to letters from constituents to notes and other paperwork.

The staffers – paid nearly $70,000 year – ended up with full-time jobs retrieving scraps of paper from Trump’s trash-can and piecing them back together with clear tape so they can be filed in the National Archives. Some of these staffers were eventually fired; they’ve spoken to Politico about their year in the Trump administration as paper-tapers.

i thought this was satire considering the topic and the site is called boing boing but no Politico also covered this. this is real.
