TIL of the Cathars – a medieval christian sect that condemned war and capital punishment; believed in reincarnation, two gods of good and evil and largely endorsed gender equality. They were annihilated by the Catholic Church.

If you don’t believe in a singular God and heaven/hell … homie you ain’t Christian

this post acts like they were all well and good and the Evil Catholic Church™️ destroyed them… what they believed was heresy.

You can find weirdo, fringe politics of all kinds on tumblr but I never thought I would ever find apologists for the Albigensian Crusade on this website

Very Good Trope: Civillian is told “ stay in the car” while hero goes to confront villain. Hero gets in over head and all seems disaster. Civillian crashes car into villain. 

Me, watching: ohhohoho! But they stayed in the car! Yesss, this is very good!

Seriously fuck this country right now. 

Everyone of you in the US needs to check you’re still registered this weekend and register if you aren’t. And you need to go out and vote. And before any of you even get the thought of ‘it doesn’t even matter’ in your head FUCK THAT. 

FUCKING TEXAS has a chance of going blue this election. Let’s make that happen. Get out there and vote and make sure this weekend you can. 

remember: texas does NOT let you register to vote online. go to your local town center and register in person. check out this link to see the rules for how to vote in every state in 2018.

TIL that the reason lead levels in children’s blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.

Yep.  It also correlates extremely strongly with an increasing decrease of violent crime.  One of the symptoms of low level constant lead exposure is increased aggression and volatility. 

“Unknown scientist”? That was Clair Cameron Patterson.

Want to hear a hot take?

Despite what modern core nihilism will tell you, the accidental nature and inherent meaninglessness of life as a biological phenomenon does not mean that our efforts are pointless but instead allows us all to determine what we personally desire out of life. It means we are free to pursue what our hearts desire, and so enables each of us to find our own unique meaning.

Also love is real.

And the majority of people in the world are inherently good-natured.
