TIL in 2010, after the devastating earthquake, Haiti was provided by Monsanto 475 tons of seeds to help people who lost their sources of income. Haitians burned as many as possible because they were genetically modified.

This needs more context. The Monsanto seed was free, true, but required millions of dollars worth of Roundup to grow properly, (not free,) and one of the first genetic modifications allows Monsanto to produce seeds which will not produce fertile offspring. Haiti would have been desperate for seed next growing season. Several developing nations are essentially offer a barrel for Monsanto after taking “free” seed.

Haiti wasn’t stupid. They know colonizer tactics.

Just like Nestle giving mothers “”””free”””” formula so that they’d stop producing milk and become dependent on it to feed their children

Nothing from a corporation is free.

If you lose interest in someone, tell them. 

If you’re not looking for a relationship, tell the person you’re seeing.

If you’re thinking of ghosting someone, tell them.

If you can’t handle meeting up with someone after all, tell them.

If you’re terrible at responding to messages, tell people.

If you prefer talking in person to texting, tell people. 

If you’re seeing several people at the same time, tell them.

If you’re looking for sex rather than dating, tell the person you’re seeing.

It is not difficult to be a decent and honest, open, communicative human being. Respect those whom you interact with and have relationships with by telling the truth instead of leading them on or being deceitful.

Guys really be out here thinking I won’t smash a wine bottle over their head

I recommend a beer bottle or a glass tumbler. Wine bottles are very hard to shatter, and you’re more likely to split a man’s skull open and cause permanent “attempted murder”-type brain damage, and you want to teach them a lesson not, like, become a convicted felon.

Nice, Thanks for the tip! I’m not a pussy and i can bury a body, but this could help someone else!

i love the friendships between terry and charles and jake and i feel like their interactions highlight the fact that jake legit crushes on dudes because how he responds to them is different

this

is different

than this:

the second to last gif is Jake looking at Amy. there is a lot of softness and awe when Jake is looking at someone he Like likes

With his male friends, Jake is affectionate and emotional and doesn’t shy away from physical contact. I love how them men on this show deconstruct toxic masculinity. 

But this isn’t how Jake responds to all his male friends. He doesn’t have crushes on Charles and Terry. (maybe a little bit on Terry, but it’s small enough it doesn’t interfere with anything. Terry is just so STRONG). It’s in the small stuff, it’s how he looks at guys and responds to guys. One of my favorite scenes is when Pimento is describing the guy who is following him as “classically good looking…is that a weird thing to notice about a guy?”. The expressions on Terry and Charles’ faces clearly says “yeah, a little,” but Jake is all in with “no, I don’t think so? Nah. That’s normal.” (which, incidentally, is the internal monologue of some people who don’t realize they’re bi–sometimes you just assume that’s how everyone feels about their gender! and then later you realize that isn’t how straight people feel at all. )

anyway. what I’m getting at is the show, in giving us healthy, loving, nontoxic male friendships, also inadvertently showed us what the difference is in male friendships vs. male attraction/crushes looks like, particularly on screen, and you can show both and you can have such great bi guy representation and i just

i know that Jake isn’t canonically bi (yet) but I just really appreciate this show for showing us such great queer characters that have so much depth and warmth and goodness and it doesn’t hypersexualize them or make them a joke. (Jake’s attraction to men is never treated as a punch line; or if it is, I think the humor comes more from the fact that he just thinks everyone is like that, and his friends are kind of sitting there going “wait what”) and this isn’t coherent but i just. wanted to point out the differences there
