My feeling is that Tumblr primarily encourages clean and beautiful pictures of landscapes and architecture — those featured tag streams are gorgeous, but to me can feel fantastical and sometimes even monotonous. Perhaps that’s a conscious decision made by those tag editors, I’m not sure. But reality exists: landscapes that are filthy, unfriendly, and/or altered by humans in repulsive ways. To me, photographs of these alternative landscapes are worthwhile because they remind us that our conceptual and collective romanticism of nature is a dream. A dream that should be not just lusted after on a computer screen and in our minds, but one that should be sought out by correcting our past and current mistakes as best we can in the physical world.

In other words, let’s create less goddamn trash.

You are not a pear, you are not an hourglass, you are not an apple; you are a human being, with bumps and crevices and scars. You are a million shapes rolled into one. You are a universe within yourself. You are a human being, and you are magnificent.

Like all mammals, cows only produce milk to feed their young. Humans are able to consume all the milk and dairy they want (but don’t need) only by keeping cows pregnant and lactating, then taking away the calves for whom the milk is intended. In natural herds, the powerful bond between mother and calf persists long after the calves have matured. But on all dairy farms, big or small, organic or free-range, calves are forcibly taken from their mothers within a few hours of birth. This cruel separation is devastating for both of them. Male calves are killed for veal, while female calves are kept separated and fed milk substitute until they are old enough to replace their mothers. Dairy cows are slaughtered for ground beef at a fraction of their natural lifespan. There is no such thing as humane dairy.
