As a kid, when your parents are poor, you're poor. If they don't have money, that means none of you have money. But if someone's parents are rich, that doesn't necessarily mean the kid is. Sometimes rich peoples' kids aren't rich kids, they're just some rich freak's exotic pets that can talk but aren't allowed to.

#hi I'm rich kids #I've used my narc-leaning mother's wealth any way I can #but oh boy the abuse I suffer for it. #all but physical :) bc physical shows. #you can narc-alternate-reality away the other kinds.

Those questions that are like "is it cheating? 🤔 is it cheating in a box? Is it cheating wearing socks?" get me cause it really makes it clear how a lot of people just aren't communicating their personal boundaries & betting on some universal truth of what's right and wrong. And then like 90% of people acting like that are deeply insecure so you end up with those people who are like "is it morally okay if you even fucking look at another person or should I kill them"

#funnily enough #I say as a polyam person #who is EXPLICITLY CLEAR about EVERY boundary #the only times people have ever cheated on me #were both cis gay men #who both went #“what you MEANT IT when you said I had to warn you before fucking someone else even though we're open???” #and I was like yes. I need context beforehand. #both of those pos lost the fuck outta me

a part of adult life you never really realize as a child is the constant need for bowls in so many different sizes. you're always doing something and going "man i wish i had the right size bowl for this" no matter how many bowl sizes you have

This is dice snake (Natrix tesselata) probably the dumbest looking snake in Europe. It feeds primarily on fish, it’s a great swimmer, it produces very stinky musk in self defense, it sometimes plays dead and it never bites. The photo was taken by my herpetology teacher and I need the entire internet to see it.

"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule Tuesday [April 9, 2024] that will require 218 chemical plants to reduce toxic and carcinogenic airborne pollutants, aiming to reduce the number of people with elevated cancer risk by 96% nationwide.

The rulings principally address chloroprene: used to make rubber products, and ethylene oxide, used primarily for sterilizing medical supplies. Long-term exposure to these chemicals and their manufacturing have been identified as possible carcinogens, or cancer-causing agents.

According to a report in the Washington Post, this can include lymphoma, leukemia, breast cancer, and liver cancer.

Across a strip of Louisiana and Texas where half of the 218 chemical manufacturing facilities set to be affected by the new regulations are located, cancer rates of these kinds are substantially higher than national averages, leading it to be colloquially called “Cancer Alley.”

EPA Administrator Michael Regan visited Cancer Alley during the open-comment period of the proposed ruling, and said that across the 85 miles dotted with communities, he failed to meet a single person who didn’t know a loved one or friend who had either developed cancer, died of it, or knew someone who had.

Once implemented, the ruling will reduce more than 6,200 tons of toxic air pollution each year, according to the Post."
