Morning coffee ritual

an-earth-witch:

Start brewing your morning cup of coffee.

Bless it or add some ingredient you feel will add an extra magical nudge. I just smile at my coffee, because I know that caffeine is going to make my day go great. Mmmmmm.

Pour your cup. Add cream or sugar or whatever it is that makes you happy.

Scoop out a small spoonful of coffee grounds. Spread the grounds on a saucer or plate. Read the coffee grounds like you would tea leaves (or the morning paper) while you enjoy your cup.

I guess Christina Hoff Sommers is speaking on my campus this coming week, so that’s happening. Ye gods, I don’t understand why people think that allowing anti-feminists to speak is “getting the perspective from the other side.” Like we all don’t already know that “the other side” sees women as lesser beings who should stop whining and be happy with what they already have. I know what these people think, please stop acting like I have to acknowledge the people who think I should take off my shoes and get back in the kitchen.

Btw I’m terrified and we are all gonna die and if I hear one more person say “our species destroyed the environment” I’m gonna lose it harder than I already am which is, for the record, Very Hard Indeed

Our SPECIES didn’t destroy the environment it was like 3 guys

Like it was more than 3 guys but in the grand scheme of things when you step back and really look at it it was like 0.00000000000000000001% of humans and that’s actually a much larger number than reality in reality it was like one 1000th of a guy. But like. For the purposes of envisioning every human alive today vs. people responsible for this. It was like 3 guys.

Saying humans destroyed the environment is only very slightly more accurate than saying mammals destroyed the environment

The “our species destroyed the environment” club is the same club that only ever talks about this as something that is tragic because of all the beauty destroyed, all the cute animals that go extinct, etc. 

Never mind the billions of humans whose lives it endangers. 

They don’t register on their notion of how tragic the destroyed environment is because they ‘deserve it’ for ‘destroying the environment’.

The concept of collective guilt serves to 

  • get the guilty of the hook 
  • justify not putting any effort in saving people from the deadly consequences of climate change 

  This is EXACTLY the point made in this article on why we shouldn’t call the new era the Anthropocene (climate caused by man) but instead the Capitalocene (climate caused by drive for wealth/capital)

I’m going to read more into this

Thank you for articulating this point that has bothered me for years now.
