So let's talk the #MaleLonelinessPandemic and why it's the fault of #Capitalism LET'S GOOOO

#SelfHatred is an #Industry. You've got an entire #BeautyIndustry which speaks to that, but also the testosterone #MLM bullshit that's like the "bro" version of #MaryKay. The idea that "you're never enough" is implanted into the brains of everyone.

In #men, this makes them even less #manly, because the most manly thing is to be calm, to be tranquil, to speak softly and to carry a big stick.

What the fuck is a "masculinity crisis"? I'm a dude, but I don't sit here and judge my every move based on having a dick. I mean...I own plushies. Come on. And I love them. And they love me. If you are that worried...then...a Dodge truck ain't gonna solve that issue for you. *cough* therapy *cough* #trump #manly #men

"It is not just human waste that is being pumped into the ocean off Sydney’s popular beaches due to the city’s unusual and archaic sewerage system – government scientists have confirmed billions of microplastics are also polluting the water."

"Khan, who heads the school of engineering at the University of Sydney, said it was “not sustainable” to continue discharging “80% of the sewage produced by 5 million people into the ocean after only primary treatment”.

The Guardian · Sydney’s archaic sewerage system a ‘significant’ source of microplastic pollution into the seaBy Catie McLeod

Pumping sewage into the sea has long been a Sydney thing
– and even $32bn won’t change that.

"Sydney Water plans to spend $32bn to improve the city’s sewerage system over the next 15 years but waste will continue to be pumped into the ocean off its famous eastern suburbs beaches."

"Some experts believe Sydney’s unusual sewerage system – which heavily relies on the coastal plants – is to blame for thousands of debris balls or “fatbergs”washing ashore over the past six months. What we’re currently doing now is not sustainable."
