If you are in Georgia or Nevada please make sure your vote was counted!!!!

Fact Check: the missing 300,000 ballots are spread across multiple states and are, in part, due to postal workers manually processing them so that they can get to their destination sooner. Definitely check whether your vote was received and accepted, but don’t expect a flood of reappearing ballots or spread doubt about the legitimacy of the election. Thank you! (Source)

Dude just stop climbing mount everest. just stop it. Wtf

Not sure if this is a shitpost but we really do need to stop climbing mount everest. It’s largely pointless and we’ve made a huge ecological impact of years from waste left behind from all exhibitions. Not to mention the economic impact on locals

people in the notes are trying to imply this is good, normal, natural, and not something to be discouraged, so uh… lets break this down

obvious warnings for discussions of death

• pollution
• there are mountains of literal shit on everest. i can only assume people forget that everest is freezing and so poop wont break down the same way as it will when youre camping (or that they dont want to carry bags of poo around). this contaminates glaciers which has began to cause damage to the water supplies of nearby local villages
• similarly there are mountains of rubbish. in 2015, it was reported that yearly clean up efforts had removed 15,000kg of rubbish and 800kg of human waste from everest.
• because of the high altitude, a bag of poo or rubbish becomes so heavy to carry that it would be deadly to do so.
• pollution thanks to littering is a growing problem and one that is hard to fix because of the above point – “Even picking up a candy wrapper high up on the mountain is a lot of effort, because it’s totally frozen and you have to dig around it,”
• tourist privilege 
• to the average english speaker, “sherpa” has come to mean guide, despite the fact it is a name for an ethnic group.
• 300 people have died on everest and the last year without a death was 1977. 111 of those deaths are people from nepal.
• sad as it is to say, for tourism and money flow to keep coming in, it looks better for native guides to die than for the tourists to die. sherpas bend over backwards trying to help those they are assigned to
• sherpas are often treated incredibly poorly by those they are assigned to, despite breaking their back (and risking their lives) to try and help
• sherpas often have to support inexperienced tourists (who are on everest for some fuckin reason), making the already dangerous summit even more so. some of these tourists dont even know how to tie basic safety knots.
• many sherpa guides work in the industry not because they want to but because they can make 10x the average wage in nepal doing it.
• many of the deaths of tourists are down to doing extreme things for an ego boost, such as climbing without oxygen. 
• the corpses
• should you die on everest you will likely remain there. “A dead body that normally weighs 80kg might weigh 150kg when frozen and dug out with the surrounding ice attached.” the risk to others isnt worth it, in most cases
• furthermore, if you cant be found or your family cant organise rescue quickly, rescue may become impossible due to you literally becoming stuck to the mountain.
• sherpas have reported how emotionally and mentally difficult finding these bodies is and plenty of them have died trying to bring people home
• the difficulty in retrieving corpses means that many are left, mummified and frozen, in public view. it is common to find bodies when climbing which has proven to be difficult for many climbers
• people who have climbed everest have gone out their way to say the media isnt being sensationalist about this, for once, and its as deadly and filled with corpses and rubbish as it is reported to be.
• death is incredibly normalised on the mountain. a british man, famously, huddled with a corpse in a cave bid to survive. 40 climbers passed him and very few attempted to help, despite him being alive. why? most assumed he was a corpse and so didnt check. 
• this normalisation is why some corpses have gained names and become markers. green boots is the most famous, but the german woman and sleeping beauty are other examples. a stretch of the climb has been called “rainbow ridge” due to the bright colours of jackets belonging to corpses that poke through the snow.
• tourism
• more than 4,000 have climbed everest. while thats barely any compared to the overall global population, it definitely isnt the impressive, one of a kind feat it once was.
• most people actually die AFTER getting to the top, not on the way there.
• 2019 was the deadliest year on everest since 2006, excluding years where deaths were largely due to natural disasters.
• tour companies do not screen you for experience, anyone can sign up to go up mount everest. this means incredibly inexperienced climbers have become common, causing danger to themselves and others. 
• nepal also has no rules for who can climb the mountain.
• until this year, the nepal government turned a blind eye to most of this. presumably, for them, the money income was worth it. 
• in 2012 it was reported that overcrowding was becoming a major issue, causing many to die that year. congestion caused by inexperience was blamed. nothing was done. in 2019 we heard the same story.
• 2019s viral photo of the crowd climbing. people died waiting in this crowd. people stepped over the dying and dead to make it to the top. congestion caused by inexperience was blamed, once again.
• people fight to take selfies at the top
• theft has been reported by climbers on the mountain
• the demand has meant dodgy equipment has found its way onto expeditions. climbers reported oxygen tanks leaking and exploding.
• psychology
• people who have been rescued have been reported saying that they wished they had died; that the disfigurements to their body and the way such has changed their lives werent worth it
• people have had their families die struggle never getting a body back
• climbing over dead bodies, using them as markers, and even sharing a tent with one, has proven to be difficult for some who climb
• the family of the man thought to be green boots has discussed how horrid it is to them that their sons dead body is posted online.
• these thoughts were echoed by the family of the woman who came to be called the sleeping beauty.

you really think all that is natural and normal? 

in what world is everest worth it

i’ve been on hold at my library for a book about asexuality for a few weeks and i just read an article about some concepts in the book re: consent. and holy shit. blew my mind. i’ve NEVER read about consent in the context of a relationship with an ace and an allo that resonated so strongly with me, and as a person in such a relationship!! it’s so!!! i’m even more excited for the book now.

for anyone interested, the article is How to Negotiate Better Consent: An Asexual Perspective and the book i’m waiting for is Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society and the Meaning of Sex.

god okay, just to gush about this more, the author suggests using the categories of enthusiastic, willing, unwilling and coerced consent (rather than just “enthusiastic consent” or “no means no”). i really recommend reading the whole article linked above, but what blew my mind is the distinction between enthusiastic and willing consent. it gets broken down like this:

Enthusiastic consent:

• When I want you
• When I don’t fear the consequences of saying yes OR saying no
• When saying no means missing out on something I want

Willing consent:

• When I care about you though I don’t desire you (right now)
• When I’m pretty sure saying yes will have an okay result and I think maybe that I’d regret saying no
• When I believe that desire may begin after I say yes

and like!!! it made me realize i may have never actually enthusiastically consented in my life, but like, that doesn’t mean i have never or cannot consent! i almost always fall into the “willing consent” framework and i’ve never seen that….validated anywhere. anyway, it’s just given me this perspective about my sexuality and consent in general and better ways to relate to my partner and!!! idk!!! thank goodness for other ace people, is what i’m saying.

Thank you so much for this post, because after reading the article and your post I think I’m often giving willing consent instead of enthusiastic consent and this was really informative!

(also, I’ve known for some time that I might be demisexual but never made the link to “maybe ace resources/reading is informative for me too then”, so I just realized and now I have the rest of my day planned out for me :p. )

Perfect accidental example of not dotting your i’s. You may need to check and cure your ballot by Friday, so don’t wait. NV and I believe GA are meant to be proactive about calling you so check / don’t ignore weird local numbers this week.

Check your ballot:

fuckyeahasexual:

🚨 If you live in NV, GA, or NC you can cure your ballot from a mistake that caused it to be rejected! And these links will teach you how to help others do that in your state! The first virtual training start in the afternoon of 11/4.

Proud of everyone for hanging in there. Let’s check our ballots and maybe literally for our i’s and cross our t’s now.

i wish i had enough social media influence to encourage people to call the miami-dade offices, specifically their post office, and demand that the 27% of missing ballots be counted, seeing as miami-dade could flip all of florida blue, and then change the outcome of the entire election

call them here: (850) 245-6500

what a wednesday. something a little less depressing today because i don’t have the heart to post anything else

Their conversation peters out once the explanations are done, so it’s quiet as they settle into their work—but it’s a comfortable sort of quiet, one that reminds Dean of the warm silence that always waited for him after a successful hunt, when he was driving back along a dark, empty road with his brother in the passenger seat and an ex-angel asleep in the backseat.

And he is definitely ex-angel now. Between trips downstairs for more water, as he’s gently poking at the plants, Dean really looks at him, here in the unfiltered light. There are a million little giveaways, things that would be unremarkable for anyone else but are extraordinary for Cas: his skin growing ever more tanned in spite of the sunscreen, the holes in the knees of his jeans, the muscles in his arms straining as he lifts a heavy pot, the sweat sticking his shirt to his chest, his hair hanging down over his forehead, getting into his eyes. Cas breathes and eats, he gets dirty and has to shower and do laundry just like so many billions of others. Dean has woken up next to him enough times now, watched him yawn over enough cups of coffee. He knows what it means.

“See something you like?” Cas says, smirking down at him.
