imagine we make contact with an alien species that’s like, vastly technologically superior, they could fucking kill us in a single shot if they really wanted to
and this species has never eaten salad before. and we show them salad and they eat it and they’re like holy living fuck this is tasty. and suddenly they’re offering us huge houses with all kind of advanced technological shit and incredible medical care and all the amenities and everything, with the only condition that we keep making salad for them.
and like, salad isn’t even hard to make. grab some plants, dump em in a bowl. it doesn’t have to be fancy salad, they’ll fall all over themselves for the most mediocre salad in the world. we can make so much salad that we’re practically drowning in it, even if we eat some of the salad ourselves. and in exchange we’re protected from danger, we have great living conditions, it’s basically paradise compared to life on earth
imagine
now realize that this is what bees have done to us
Philando Castile was gunned down when he was legally carrying a firearm…
How is that story real?! Bringing guns to school?!
If you can afford to be silent about this, you have white privilege too. If you don’t call this racist bs out, you’re condoning it. PUBLICALLY condemn this girl and the inherent racism of this act.
ACTUALLY I’M GONNA REBLOG THIS A SECOND TIME because this is Kent State, guys. Kent State. The school where four students were shot to death in the 70′s for protesting war.
our exit signs are green in Australia and as someone who works as a tour guide in spooky buildings, let me tell you if those places were awash in an ominous red glow instead of a comforting green I’d be a lot less fearless on the job. red glowing exit signs. holy shit that’s horrible.
Oh come on. Are you saying that this:
Doesn’t fill you with ease. In an emergency, this doesn’t make you want to walk in an orderly fashion yonder?
I literally saw that monstrosity in a horror movie and my first thought was “oh come on they’re laying on the colour symbolism a bit thick aren’t they?”
but no. you all really live like that. that’s just normal and not threatening at all.
I believe the reasoning was that red light doesn’t affect our eyesight in the dark. Other colors make our eyes adjust to brighter conditions, meaning that if the emergency lighting doesn’t work/exist, and we go into a stairwell, we’re back to being blind AF. On the other hand, red light doesn’t do that, so our eyes are still adjusted to dark conditions.
