TIL that the reason lead levels in children’s blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.

monogamous people who get defensive or outright combative when polyamory is brought up could probably stand to be told that they could actually change their perspectives somewhat if they put in actual effort. i do not have any more patience for people who are too comfortable in the thought that the ideas they've been fed about exclusivity and commitment all their life are somehow uniquely theirs, nor do i have patience for the handful of trite remarks they make about polyamory in attempts to feel clever about taking one of the most lukewarm stances in existence on something
