horses are inherently funny because they come in so many sizes. like draft horses
this looks so fake. this horses skull is bigger than the dudes entire torso. this horses NECK is thicker than the dudes entire BODY.
and then at the opposite end of the spectrum you have shit like this shetland pony which ALSO looks fake
what the hell happened to this thing who bred this line of ponies to be so ridiculous
fun fact, while most mini horses and ponies look fat, like the shetland above, some are genuinely just scaled down versions of regular horses
you look at this and think “wow that’s a horse i bet I could ride that” but you’d be wrong because this is an american shetty and it’s the size of a large dog
also fun fact, this is the world’s smallest horse, thumbelina
and this is the largest horse ever, brooklyn supreme
hot take: hrt, gender therapy and trans surgeries should be free
if cis people don’t have to pay to have a body that doesn’t make them dysphoric, neither should trans people
So by that logic does that mean that I should get anti-depressants and all the other pills for my mental issues for free because the people who don’t suffer from them don’t have to pay to have them?
yes
And does that mean that corrective lenses should also be free, because people with good vision don’t need to pay to see clearly, and that devices to aid in mobility for people with limited mobility (from crutches to (practical) canes to wheelchairs to prosthetics) should also be free, because people who don’t have limited mobility don’t need to pay for them?
yes? why does everyone in the notes keep trying to come up with gotchas lmao everything to do with healthcare should be free
Then by that logic, healthy food and clean water should be free because without food and water we will die. Also, without water, hygiene will be minimal therefore increasing the chances of disease.
Yes. People should have access to a healthy happy life and the whole point of a society is to support eachother and work together. how brainwashed by capitalism are you to think food and water shouldn’t be free in an ideal world.
this post is such a wild ride every time. ‘so by this logic, people should have free access to the things they need to live and survive?????????’ like yes bitch, all of it !!!
And how will we compensate the free stuff we will get to those who work in that industry
Since there are a lot of questions like this in the replies and no one seemed to answer them yet, here it is:
Instead of having a world organized by profit, where the fear of starvation forces most of us to work and a few people get hugely rich by exploiting us all,
We have a world where there are no profits, no rich people, no stock exchange, where people work voluntarily, simply because once work becomes non-coercive, doing some useful stuff in your life is more fun than sitting at home playing endless rounds of monopoly,
and everyone gets what they need for free.
So the doctors and wheelchair-producers and farmers and builders do not get compensated for their individual products, they get compensated by being able to live in a world where all their needs are taken care of forever and they will never have to worry about healthcare, food, housing, etc.
Which is a pretty good deal.
So how do we decide what needs to be made and what people need? Well, we ditch the market, we ditch leaders, and we actually decide this together. We also run the hospitals and farms and workshops and factories together instead of letting bosses decide what our working conditions and working hours are. Which is a hell of a lot more fun too.
Will everything be perfect? no. But the current situation where 99% of us are exploited our whole lives just to survive (and many don’t survive) while a few get ridiculously rich is so shit that it’s about time we tried something less focused on profit and more focused on meeting our needs together.
It’s called anarchism, which gets a lot of bad press but you should really check it out. Further reading: Anarchy Works
The future I dream of (like in Star Trek but Starfleet is all discovery and less militarism)
Like Star Trek before they reintroduced the concept of currency and fancier quarters for higher ups and that kind of hierarchy stuff, and instead of a captain, all the crew members decide together how the ship should be run and have a few alternating people in charge of emergency decisions that require a fast response, whose decisions are reviewed collectively after a crisis.
Reblogging some shadow work stuff because my shadow work tag is clogged up with tons of my personal work. I’m thinking about fixing that, but we’ll see how it goes.
