I’m gonna need a sketch concept of Garfield as the Snake on my desk by 5.
I may have to cleanse my computer after this act of sacrilege.
Horrible fact of the day: Chevron just released a new boat fuel that WILL give you cancer.
Not “might”, not “could”, WILL. It has a cancer ratio of 1:1, as in, in a group of 10 people, ALL 10 would contract CANCER.
The EPA’s safety limit is 1:1,000,000 as in 1 in a million people get cancer.
The EPA approved it anyways. I am not joking. The EPA approved a boat fuel that has a near 100% chance of giving someone cancer. It has such a good chance of giving someone cancer that if you DIDN’T get cancer YOU WOULD BE AN OUTLIER.
So here’s a fact I learned from looking into it. If 100 people would eat fish that lived in waters contaminated by this fuel, it is assumed 7 of those people would get cancer.
Also handing this material unprotected gives you cancer at a rate of 1.3:1. Yes you read that right not the 1 in 7.8 chance of lung cancer from smoking, over 100% chance of cancer from this.
As of Friday August 4th the article I read said Chevron wasn’t making it yet. They want to though. They won’t tell people where they plan to make I though nor which boats will be using it. So that’s great.

People in this demographic, please let me know how to tag to get a hold of you as someone who doesn’t need Image Descriptions!!
Alt text! ALWAYS alt text, because in the HTML page structure, it’s PART of the image element’s attributes.
If it’s not, it gets separated and, particularly with the way modern content management systems render text (often as weird separate chunks), can’t be easily found.
Putting “image id” text in front of a description is NOT standard accessibility practice. Using ALT text is supported by all browsers and screen reader software.
DO NOT duplicate alt text and visible text, because then a visually impaired user has to listen to it twice.
If you need visible captions paired with images, use the HTML figure and figcaption elements - you can use different alt text there to add information a visually impaired user needs, and the figcaption to explain the meaning for all audiences.
XKit Rewritten (available on firefox and chrome) has a setting to display alt text under images, so if you need or want to see the description, this makes it automatic.
Once you install the extension, open its menu, find and enable AccessKit, then click on it to open the list of accessibility settings. “Move alt text to captions below images” is the setting you’re looking for.
The Heritage Foundation is a tool of the right-wing fascists oligarchs. Their “Project 2025” is a blue print to seize control of government and dismantle it so the oligarchs can create their own government. They have a plan called Schedule F which will make nearly all federal employees “at will” employees they will terminate immediately. They will be replaced with corrupt MAGA goons and Christo-Facscists that are currently being trained to slot into government positions where they will dismantle democracy and strip our rights.
America will cease to exist. We will never have political power or our freedoms again. The FBI, Department of Justice, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Education, etc will be eliminated or restructured to allow businesses and oligarchs to run amok with no regulations to follow or consequences for their corrupt actions. Not a single soul or entity will have any recourse against the fascist government or corrupt corporations.
This is the oligarchs end game. This is sinister and very real. This is not a conspiracy theory and you can easily view it on the Heritage Foundation website or in numerous articles by simply googling Project 2025.

@dimiclaudeblaigan asked for a tutorial on how to begin drawing. Good news! If you can draw a funky looking stick man, you have already started!
I think that stick people are a great starting point for artists because of the things you can learn from them that will be important later on.
If you are able to draw a circle and a couple of lines, you can easily put together a stick person.
Congratulations! You have started to draw. :)
A stick person is a very minimal artistic representation of a real life person. It is simple yet recognizable, and is widely used in art, media, and signage.
But what can a stick person teach us about drawing people that look more like… well, people? Lets have a look!
So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom
It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education
and for the love of god, don’t just spam it with memes or le funny shrek jokes or whatever, they’ll just hang up
make plausible-sounding reports for things that don’t actually exist, so that they actually have to waste time/resources investigating false leads - the goal is to waste time they would otherwise be using to do their jobs, not to get tumblr clout for being an epic troll
So apparently the internet article said the superintendent wouldn’t be deterred by the prank calls because they would ‘taper off eventually’. It’d be a real shame if this post stayed in circulation via queues so they get a consistent list of prank calls to filter through. 😇
i scheduled this like a month ago
ive never scheduled anything i wonder if this works
A professor gave us an extra credit option: take a picture of yourself outside, doing something that you would not usually do. We were told not to take it too seriously. Here is my entry:
I maintain that sticking my head in the mailbox is not something I do on a regular basis.
Love that some of you are reblogging this. You looked at a picture of a guy with his head in a mailbox and went “yeah”
Can’t wait to see if everyone did something like this or if they had a normal reaction. I will keep you posted.
[ID: a photo of a pale person wearing a black t-shirt and jeans with his head in a mailbox /END ID]
Hello to everyone asking for an update!
The professor has said that he will put all submitted pictures into a powerpoint to be shown in class tomorrow (Tuesday, March 9th). I am very much looking forward to seeing the reaction from him and from the rest of the class. I promise to keep you informed.
Update: the professor saved my picture for last. I was told that I had “truly embodied the spirit of the assignment” and that I had gone “above and beyond.”
Also, to everyone who is worrying about whether or not I got my head out, I was gifted with a very small head, and while I got out just fine I would NOT recommend this if you have a large head or even a normal sized head.
I keep getting people asking about bowling on this post so I’m just gonna repost this drawing I made on Twitter
How did her grandmother fill 4 vases?
She was a very large woman. Easily 12 feet tall.
then why the heck is her family not tall too?!?!
Pop-pop was very small so it canceled out.
This was originally part of its own post, but I figured I should add it here so all the Bawling/Balling/Bowling family lore can be in one place, sorry if you’ve seen it before.
So 12-foot-tall Grandma was actually a star basketball player back
in the 70s for a very brief period of time– her career as a
professional athlete only lasted between October and December of 1972.
The reason for this was because John Basketball, the inventor of the sport, realized that the WNBA had not yet been established, so he asked her to please sit out until the Basketball Elders got a chance to make a space in the sport for women. Grandma thought this was pretty bullshit, but she decided to leave the NBA anyway because nobody could keep up with her balling, and the sport had lost its novelty.
After she settled down in her new-but-less-exciting career as an astronaut, she met Pop-pop on the moon. It turns out that he had been a big fan of her and had recorded all her matches on U-matic, and had fallen in love with the sport.
Anyway things happened, the two fell in love and got married, and Grandma and Pop-pop had a beautiful family together. She became especially close with one of her granddaughters, Ballin’ Jessie, who inherited her propensity for basketball. The two would often dunk hoops with each other, and developed trash-talk as their love language.
Pop-pop also had an interest in the sport, but his height had made
it difficult for him to keep up with the others. In fact, he had
actually lost about a foot in height as a result of being compressed by
Earth’s stronger gravitational pull. Despite this, Pop-pop was never
really bothered by this because of his exceptional love for Grandma, who
was always more than happy to lend him a helping hand.
