I am not feeling 100% today (Ragweed is blooming and my sinuses are trying to kill me)
So, time to watch Naked and Afraid and judge people.
This one in particular
“I’ve trapped and hunted all my life” We’re 2 minutes in and already this dude’s thinking that because he can shoot a deer with a rifle from a tree stand that’s gonna translate when they DON’T HAVE GUNS
Oh lord and the woman
“All I need to survive out here is a big strong dumb man.”
They’re both dead.
Well, SHE had the good sense to cover her skin in mud to prevent sunburn. He did not, and is now Suffering.
She at least boned up on the medicinal plants of the area and knows how to treat sunburn.
Proposition: when one person has to cover a shift that is normally done by two people, they get paid double. This is both to compensate them for working twice as hard, and to remove any temptation for management to think “hey, actually that wasn’t so bad, maybe we should do this more often.”
can u imagine being one of the best humanitarians out there just to have headlines talk about your pregnancy instead of the work you put in with trying to help genocide/rape victims…..
who you are in high school is not who you will be in college and who you are in college is not who you will be when you are 30.
when you accept that you are malleable and ever-changing, you will be less resistant to new ways of thinking and being and you will grow into the beautiful person you are meant to become.
resist the urge to remain stagnant. there are always things to learn about the world and yourself. let yourself learn them.
Her tuition so damn high she can wear whatever tf she wants
Spite goals
There’s a better thing to her story. She CONTINUED her thesis in her underwear and afterward her professor said “what would your mother think wearing those kinds of clothes”
And she responded “my mother’s a feminist also a gender and sexuality studies professor. She’s fine with my shorts”
i think the best part is that a majority of the class also stripped with her in solidarity
Just to give a little more perspective after reading the story:
The sequence of events is a little jumbled in the telling above. The actual chastising from the teacher came days before the woman’s thesis, during a practice run of her presentation. This was not a spur-of-the-moment thing where she just whipped off her clothes for the sake of being angry. Chai took the time to think things through before deciding this was the way she wanted to protest. She used critical thinking and level-headedness to decide instead of becoming volatile and aggressive, she would choose non-violent protest.
I just don’t like the way the story’s being told by others because it makes her come across as “overly-emotional” and “erratic” (as women often do in the media, because it’s easier to attribute extreme action to “hysteria”), whereas in actual news reports, she had time to think about her decision and choose the best way to handle what happened to her.
