you’ve heard of diseased houses, now i give you a diseased ship :
[id : “Men, there is, as you know, something decidedly wrong with this craft. She has been attacked by some mysterious malady which has caused her plates to rot and her engines to slough off and melt away. You could cut the deck beneath your feet with your finger-nail. The trouble started last night with the wireless apparatus. It is an electrolysis or ray of some sort that is corroding wood and metal alike. Now every part of our vessel is decayed. The whole ship is like a mushroom. There is not a solid thing aboard. You could poke your fingers through every lifeboat. There is no escape. end id]
not to talk about doctor who but remember being a lonely depressed teenager and hearing him say ‘900 years of time and space and i’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important’
not to get political but im begging you guys to stop coming to hawaii. in maui theyre asking to put a ‘pause’ on flights bc we literally do not have enough room or staff to service you. the roads are so full that its causing a major backup when ppl need to get to work.
on top of this, i heard that by September? theyre expecting to get rid of the mask rule (if 70% of ppl are vaccinated/all goes well) but ill be honest w/ you, i know many locals arent getting the vaccine and i know plenty of tourist arent gonna take the necessary precautions.
homeless hawaiians aren’t even allowed to sit or lay on sidewalks to keep up the “paradise” image for tourists
Tourism makes it impossible to keep up with the rising cost of living. It brings in revenue and with that, becomes the fake state’s priority. Tourism pushes native Hawaiians from their land and homes, puts locals at risk for covid19, directly harms the delicate environment and native species here, houseless folk (many whom are native Hawaiian) are being illegally swept to make room for tourists at beaches, and locals are being restricted and fined for using water on east Maui, all while hotels can use up all the resources no problem and our government approves a million dollar home construction for new part-time residents (when locals who have been here for generations are being thrown into poverty, barely staying afloat, losing businesses and even their homes). “Hawai’i has become the Blood Diamond of the Pacific. We are mined for our splendor, and our residents live the every day, complex consequences.”
It’s absolutely VILE what is happening here. I hope yall know that Hawaiʻi was overthrown and occupied by the US military, and isn’t even legally a state! Hawaiʻi is not your vacation spot, so you better tell your family and friends to stay at home.
Factory Fan Bass: By attaching a disk with holes to the fan, it converts blinks of lights to electric signals and generates sound from a bass amplifier. Different numbers of holes can generate a musical scale, and turning on/off of the power makes it roar.

so you know how the DV caloric reqs on food are like notoriously low? Well…turns out settlers in Canada starved Native children in their ‘boarding schools’ to find out what the minimum requirement to sustain life was during their ‘nutrition experiments’
this is so filthy. this is so absolutely soulless like it’s already so bad but if anything people absolutely need to know these children’s stories bc this is real colonial history.
To me, the term settlers carries the implication of “this happened a long time ago, in the 1800s”.
I want to clarify that this was a lot more recent than that. We’re talking the 1940s and 1950s. People from this time are still alive.
It’s absolutely horrific and something they definitely need to teach in schools more, so we can understand exactly WHY Indigenous people’s rights are such an important topic in Canadian politics
