disability rights involves the right to do fuck all. the right to be a useless member of society and STILL be loved and cared for and have a fair standard of living. human beings are not defined by the capital we produce.
What would YOUR job be as a prehistoric human?

Y'all know that we don't actually NEED a lot of people to hunt the mammoth, and they don't need to do it very often, right?
Like, that's really more of a "small, specialized band of hunters" task than a "turn out the whole damn clan" type of task.
Plus a single mammoth has so much meat and other useful materials. I think we'll be fine.
#poll currently has 10% of us risking life and limb for meat and 90% on other activities which sounds right to me!#IIRC that is the proportion of hunting to gathering that many societies have had#we have way too many freeloading time travelers though#at least carry my basket full of roots berries and assorted herbs and mushrooms won't you
Exactly! The problem isn't the hunters, it's those darn time travelers! Least they can do is carry stuff and maybe bring us some sweet presents from the future.
Before forced christianity and colonization, the indigenous Sámi people usually worked 13-15 hours a week.
Women hunted with bows, men with spears. They had elaborate trapping systems, making it quick and easy to "herd" reindeer towards massive game traps in the Swedish forests. In the Norwegian mountains they built elaborate systems of stone fences across massive reindear herds' biannual migration paths. Women hid behind the low fences, waiting with their bows and arrows at ready until the herds arrived.
The latter hunts most likely happened once or twice a year. It meant lots of work for a couple of weeks. And celebrations, fertility rituals (code for sex), and meeting friends and family arriving from other areas to partake in the hunt.
Aside from that, 13-15 hours work weeks.
The patriarchy and crapitalism tricked us all.
Reblog if you are bringing us sweet presents from the future
