it really boggles my mind how very little Israelis/pro Israelis/Zionists care about the 20,000 killed palestinians. I swear to god each day when I see how Israelis talk about palestinians i get so fucking infuriated. The heartlessness and the hatred in the words they speak really makes me lose faith in humanity.
Israelis constantly act like they are the victims in this while they are sitting cozy in their stolen houses on stolen land, i dont feel sorry for them one fucking bit and all the while Palestinians are getting bombed to bits.
Its very simple; Israelis are settler colonists and thats why they dont care about the Palestinians. they think palestinians need to be killed off or driven off otherwise they’ll lose their privileges.
They dont deserve that land, it doesnt belong to them. Palestine belongs to the Palestinians.
Fuck Israel and the hateful, heartless nation they have built
Do gay Klingons ever get frustrated/dejected because their gentleman caller hasn’t so much as kicked a pebble their way or uttered the slightest growl?
Do questioning Klingons ever show their crush their poetry, only to have their crush assume that he’s helping them proofread or something?
Is there ever an issue where a lesbian Klingon tries very awkwardly to recite poetry to her lady love?
Or instances where two lesbians are basically beating the shit out of each other and both thinking “I know she thinks this is just a regular old gal fight, but no, seriously, I’m trying to declare my intentions here”?
Are there euphemisms for LGBT Klingons? “Don’t try to win her over, Riker. She reads poetry.”
“If stuff was just handed to me I’d have no motivation to do anything! That’s human nature!”
No, babe, that’s depression. Psychologically healthy people are still motivated to do things even when their survival isn’t being actively threatened.

okay so like, we all know that housekeeping in a hotel is a Shit Job, right?
I worked with a woman who was independently wealthy. But she liked working housekeeping. So she did. And if the manager got bitchy with her, she’d just shrug and be like “Okay, I can quit.”
Like the manager treated her like a human being because she knew she had to because otherwise she’d lose one of her best workers.
Yes, everyone should be just handed the money to live.
I worked with a lady who’s husband made more than enough to support them both. She just did the retail to have something to do with herself part-time.
There’s a lot of people who’d happily do the same sort of thing. Honestly? A lot of the jobs we consider “shitty” jobs? Are shitty because the employees are treated like garbage.
If employees weren’t being screwed over by people higher up the chain constantly or being forced to kiss the asses of customers currently shitting all over them, those jobs would by and large be a whole lot more bearable, and appealing to more people!!
Plus rich people are just handed a lot of money, whether they earn it or not, and no one questions that. Only poor people getting money gets interrogated over and over and over again.
I’d like to add a footnote to this thread that the US gives more money (by way of the income tax reduction) to homeowners than it does to poor people who need subsidized housing.
My best teacher in high school was the guy who had previously made a ton of money that he could’ve retired at like 30. Man just wanted to teach teenagers.
If people as a whole were handed enough money to live on, maybe more people like him wouldn’t be put off by the poor salary teachers make. (also teachers should be paid a lot more)
There’s also this assumption that if people were just handed enough money to live that they’d do absolutely nothing, as if they’d be satisfied being completely bored all the time.
They’d still buy food. They’d still buy video games. They’d still go out and get coffee and put money into the economy even if they didn’t want to work because they still want to LIVE. They’d buy movies. They’d go DO stuff.
I review comic books on the internet and I love doing it, but I often have to compromise on some things because I just can’t afford to do otherwise and I stress out about stuff because I need to earn money.
“Psychologically healthy people are still motivated to do things even when their survival isn’t being actively threatened.”
Speaking for myself, I would be even MORE motivated to do things if my basic needs were guaranteed met. IJS
idk about you guys but i fucking hate death. Whaaat!!!!!! Not into it …
this idiot is scared of death, and the great unknown void that lies beyond unconsciousness ! ! ! !! ! ! !
You would be too if you were shallow and vain like me
if you were so all powerful, you’d know that death comes not for those shallow, vain and afraid but to those who battered, bruised, have braved far too much and are willing.
Tl;Dr: Death cares about consent unless you’re an ass, basically
my advice to you; put a little dijon mustard in any cheesy beige food. whisk it into your cheese sauce just before u add the cooked macaroni. spread a thin layer in your cheese toasties. add a spoonful to your mashed potatoes with the butter. anything thats gonna be heavy on rich dairy and starches will benefit enormously from the hint of warmth and acidity that dijon mustard will give it, even if you don’t add enough to make it Taste Like Mustard (which, ideally, you shouldnt). itll cut through the richness and stop your tastebuds getting fatigue from too much fat&starch, which is important for the overall enjoyment of a dish. ur welcome. take this knowledge and change the world
im still consistently getting notes on this post and i want u guys to know that every single time someone in the tags says they tried this im filled with peace&love. my legacy is teaching the world to put dijon mustard in their mackercheese and i couldnt be happier.
Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles
The Joker
Mad, menacing and merciless, The Joker was the self-proclaimed ‘Clown Prince of Crime’ and far and away Batman’s most persistent and deadliest of foes. The Joker had formerly been a mob enforcer named Jack Napier. In a botched robbery attempt at the Ace Chemical Plant, Napier fell into a vat of a strange and acidic chemicals. He managed to survive yet the ordeal left him forever changed. His hair was turned green and his skin was bleached a deathly shade of white. It also detached him from the last strains of his sanity.
His ghastly new visage looked like a joker from a deck of cards and he took it as his new name. The Joker would go on to become a super villain who plagued Gotham for years. Although he often stole money, weapons or jewels, his ultimate goal was always to sew chaos, to break the world around him and make everyone as mad and unhinged as he.
The Joker developed a special aerosol toxin. This ‘Joker Venom’ caused the infected to laugh uncontrollably and for the muscles in their face to become paralyzed in a painful grin. This effect could be fatal or ultimately remit depending on the dosage.
Actor/Jedi Mark Hamill provided the voice for The Joker with the villain first appearing in the seventh episode of the first season of Batman: The Animated Series, ‘Joker’s Favor.’
So although Order of the Stick is explicitly textually not an actual D&D game with actual players, it’s pretty cool how well Belkar’s character arc work not just as your usual ‘asshole character learns to care’ story but also mirrors the narrative of an asshole troll player learning to play the game seriously.
Like, while the whole Order kinda plays on standard D&D Class Stereotypes on some level, Belkar was always the one who played more into a Player Archetype than a Character Archetype. Maybe because that Player Archetype is often defined as lacking an interest in serious Roleplaying.
I mean, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to play a tabletop RPG just for dice-throwing and violence. The problem with That Kind Player is more when they attach themselves to a group that is otherwise interested in character and plot - and rather than finding some sort of compromise with the rest of the group or just looking for a new one more amicable to random violence - they keep hanging around while expressing just a total disinterest in the plot.
And caring for really nothing but scoring as many kills as possible, even if it gets in the way of the group’s general strategy…
And/or the DM trying to tell a compelling narrative…
And sometimes just being disruptive and causing conflict for the lols.
Also, Belkar has, like, objectively the worst build in the entire Order and he started out with no understanding of his Class outside the Two-Weapon Fighting. He really does act just like the One Guy who really wanted to play a double-wielding character because it’s badass, saw it’s a Free Ranger Feat and refused to read any of the other features or flavor text of the class.
So when he befriends Mr. Scruffy, it’s not just the ‘Mean Character Warms His Heart to a Cute Animal’ trope - it’s also figuratively about a player learning how to actually play and roleplay his Class and use other class features that are not directly related to just Stab the Enemies and They Fall Down.
And so much of his character arc is about the realization that he doesn’t really know himself. It is a character arc from an in-universe person but it also parallels a narrative of someone who is learning how to engage with his character for the first time and almost, like, retconning more connection between Belkar and his non-combat class features as the metaphorical Player becomes more invested in using them.
And it’s just… pretty interesting, in a stage where OOTS is really moving away from meta-D&D jokes - that the most meta-D&D part of the comic is the pretty-serious character arc of one of the main party members
I truly hate the word “unalive.” There are so many other euphemisms that fictional Italian mobsters worked so hard to provide you with and you just ignore them.
Also idk if I need to state this publicly again but hello, Ai is my name and I’m an artist but I draw things with my hands. I’m not artificial intelligence; if anything, I’m organic stupidity.
If you fall for a social media prank, do you reblog/pass it on to your followers?
This is funnier on mobile. It’s like hot gluing a coin to the sidewalk but the glue pools out under it making it obvious at a glance that it is a prank.
I’m honestly so obsessed by Belkar Bitterleaf. Like he starts as a one-note joke character, then we get a prophecy that he’s going to permanently die within the year (that’s an in-universe year oracle fans) that he never hears. And then he has one of the most carefully plotted characters arcs ever where he grows into being a full person and looks like he’s starting to swing to the side of the angels and the entire time we the reader know that he’s not going to live to see the end of it. It makes me want to scream. How am I supposed to be normal about him?
Some troll is roaming around writer’s inboxes and hates on them for writing gn! and fem! only
If you’re a writer and something like this ever happens to you: Just delete the request and move on. Honestly, people like that just want you to feel shitty about absolutely nothing out of their very own insecurities.
It’s okay if you write fem! or gn! only
It’s okay if you write male! only
It’s okay if you write black!reader or japanese!reader only
Because this is YOUR blog and YOUR decision. If you’re not delivering the content someone else is looking for, they have to find it somewhere else. Tumbr is literally full of creative work from all kinds of POVs and that’s wonderful. There is absolutely no reason to hate on someone because they don’t write the way you want it or something on your blog doesn’t appeal to them. And you always have this one big opportunity: Just.write.yourself.
even if your physical disability was caused by something specific you did, you still don’t deserve to deal with all this pain and suffering.
weight gain, suicide attempts, self harm, self inflicted injuries in general, overworking yourself / pushing your limits, not working ergonomically / doing tasks incorrectly and many other things can make you physically disabled and even if it is your fault, you still don’t deserve it. no one does.
there’s a new potent drug called “the bed” out on the streets. just one hit of the damn thing and you’re passed out cold, tucked in, multiple blankies, honking and shooing for hours. scary stuff.
Doctor Heinz Doofenshmirtz (better known as Dr. Doofenshmirtz, or simply Doofenshmirtz) is an evil scientist hailing from the country of Drusselstein. He is the head of Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, and he tends not to be evil in the traditional sense, but rather overly dramatic, eccentric and generally clueless. His usual lair is an office building that he apparently owns, though he’s worked from other locations when necessary for his plans.
Doofenshmirtz attempts to wreak generally “evil” havoc and assert his rule across the entire Tri-State Area. Despite true dedication to this mission, nearly all of his schemes have been thwarted by his nemesis Perry the Platypus. Doofenshmirtz has become so accustomed to this dynamic that he tends to feel empty or even upset on those few occasions where Perry does not stand in his way.
The cad is voiced by Dan Povenmire and first appeared in the debut episode of Phineas and Ferb, airing on August 17th, 2007.
A connection between Denmark and Sweden which is part bridge, part tunnel… The reason for the tunnel was apparently because a bridge would interferer with air-traffic from the nearby Copenhagen Airport. (Referred to as Kastrup because that’s the official name of the airport.)
(It wasn’t suggested by a Norwegian btw… I just included Norway to have a neutral third party)
Istg, if I ever get rabies because some dumb ass antivaxxer refused to vaccinate their dog, I’ll probably be doing the rest of my blogging from prison because I promise you, Imma curbstomp the shit out of the owner
Fun fact: if your dog is unvaccinated and bites someone, in most states it’s not only perfectly legal but SUGGESTED COURSE OF ACTION for animal control to seize your dog, euthanize it, and cut its head off for rabies testing. This process costs 300-500 USD and is the responsibility of the owner to pay.
This happened to someone on tumblr, and happens with regularity at my job, so it is not a far-flung worst case scenario.
Rabies shots cost 20 USD at your local pet store or farm supply and if your dog bites someone while vaccinated, all you have to do is quarantine for 10 days.
Suggested course of action, while correct, really downplays this. If your dog isn’t vaccinated and it bites someone, assume it will be put down. Your pet will be destroyed, and in many areas, you will not get the remains back if there’s a suspicion of rabies, and most of the time you have absolutely no choice in the manner.
In many areas, unfortunately like mine, even if there’s a claim of a dog bite it can be enough. It doesn’t have to be proven in far too many cases. Even if you disregard the fact that rabies is extremely dangerous, uncurbable, untreatable, and a slow painful death once symptoms start, at the very least vaccinate your animals so you don’t ever have to deal with your pet forcibly being removed from you and killed.

jerma has reached a very unique type of functional online privacy despite his fame based exclusively on the fact that his fanbase’s sense of humor is built (and deliberately cultivated) around lying. about everything and anything but especially about him. and they’re dedicated. which makes it virtually impossible to casually google any meaningful private information about him- more so even than other people of a similar status because while they may maintain privacy through a lack of information jerma maintains it through a wealth of false information, which is objectively a harder thing to sift through even when it’s comically obviously false
you can’t find out a lot of info about jerma as easy as you can many many other people simply because you will look it up and there’ll be 4 conflicting answers and every single one will be wrong on purpose. and probably some obscure stream reference to boot. and if you somehow know real info and try to add it anywhere it’d be changed back pretty fast to some outrageous lie. which is honestly probably the ideal way to maintain some sense of online anonymity as a personality right? he won
Six hours in the fetal position, reciting what I can, disconnected from the world as carpet bombing erased the an area very near. Crawled away from the wall as it was swaying. Meanwhile Zs committed several massacres all over Gaza, nobody is counting the dead anymore

ok *deep breathe* if this post gets 7,300 notes I will tell my parents I’ve been writing this story (my sci fi story) and ask if I can get it published by next Christmas also if this does end up getting that insane number of notes I may have to take my word back on the “finish and publish on wattpad or ao3 all four of my wips by next new years” because the sci fi one is obviously going to need a lot more attention but I will finish the drafts for my other 3 wips by next Christmas as well (the summer rom com, the Christmas rom com and the sapphic vampire heist one)
