It’s not “everyone” acting like it’s normal. The majority of people know something’s wrong they just don’t have the tools to fix it. Maybe a plurality don’t know that the problem is capitalism, they blame it on something else, but they’re still aware there’s a problem. “Everyone” is just too exhausted from working 4 jobs, 50 hours a week to scream into the void in their spare time.
Produced by Japanese company Triad, whose main line of business is producing architectural models, the Omoshiroi Blocks feature various notable architectural sites in Japan like Kyoto’s Kiyomizudera Temple, Tokyo’s Asakusa Temple and Tokyo Tower. The blocks are composed of over 100 sheets of paper and each sheet is different from the next in the same way that individual moments stack up together to form a memory.
Oh 𝔽𝕌ℂ𝕂! You didn’t tell me you had a beast in your home. You’ve got a little goggyee. Eh- BOGGY. A poopy dog. A buppy- a little 𝐹𝑈𝐶𝐾𝐼𝑁𝐺 ƊOƐGGУ. I’ve never seen a reell dog before! We only have Lego® Dogs on Lego® Island. 𝒪𝒽! Oh FUCK! Oh fuck nooo! This red bastard’s got teeth! Sharp teethh. He’s going to tear me into little Lego® pieces. I’ve never been so scared in my life! WHAT THE FUCK this is like a jumpscare from Five Fuckers at Uncle Festers. GET ME THE 𝔽𝕌ℂ𝕂OUT OF HERE!
This is really funny. Don’t worry Mr. Asian water monitor, I saw your hat
This is obviously a joke, and it’s really funny, but just in case - in this video, it looks like the people filming did a lot of things right here. They’re a bit closer than I’d have liked, but they didn’t try to pet or harass the monitor. Monitors are awesome, but big ones like this can be very dangerous, and it’s never smart to bother wildlife but that’s doubly true for monitors.
Hey, Tumblr. You like non-stereotypical depictions of autism? What about ✨ neurodivergent protagonists ✨ ? Yes? What about asexual neurodivergent protagonists that go on chapters-long rants about their special interests? You want gay characters that are important to the plot too? Then I’ve got the book for you! The author is gay!!! American Psycho, by Bret Easton Ellis, is
In the second Sonic movie, he refers to him self as ‘hedgehog of the house’ in Tom’s absence instead of ‘man of the house’ further implying his gender is hedgehog
not “he” as in “he/him” but “he” as in “hedgehog”
This post went in a completely different direction I imagined because at first I thought those were Sora and Kairi from Kingdom Hearts
i love you wasps i love you flies i love you beetles i love you moths i love you non-bee pollinators i love you “uncharismatic” organisms who nonetheless carry our ecosystem on your backs
It’s genuinely telling that any animal that’s even slightly inconvenient to people inspires this kind of extreme irrational rage and even more telling that people are somehow proud of this reaction instead of rightly ashamed. I’ve been stung by wasps before. The most recent time I remember is when one flew down my shirt one summer and, I presume, panicked at the prospect of getting crushed to death by an animal a thousand times its size. Do you know what happened? It hurt a bit for an hour or two, then went away. I’ve been hurt worse stubbing my toe.
Wasps are willing to defend themselves, and not even particularly effectively. But they’re willing to hurt humans, and our measured response to an animal being willing to hurt us is condemning their entire species to death on sight and fucking revelling in every kill. Pure anthropocentrism brain in action. A lot of people claim to like nature, but only like the fucking terrarium version of it which has every thorn plucked off, every tooth pulled and claw filed down and everything that stings or sucks drowned in DDT.
God, I was just gonna write a sentence or two to get my thoughts out but I’m fucking incensed now. We love wasps here! We love wasps!!!
To top it all off, we made wasps the way they are in the first place. By “we” I mean land vertebrates as a whole, since it was somewhere around the Jurassic that the first social bees and wasps emerged as we know them today, but land vertebrates are a pretty small insular group we belong to and our own five-fingered hands aren’t clean here either.
Anything capable of obtaining bee or wasp larvae will eat them, including the majority of birds, raccoons, weasels, arboreal marsupials, bears, squirrels, and ALL primates including all our hominid ancestors and our very own species have eaten wasp grubs for their entire evolutionary history. Many human cultures fell out of the practice of eating insects in general, but wasp larvae are such a perfect food that there are even still places where humans grow and harvest them on purpose! These are wasp boxes in Kushihara, Japan, where a lot of people keep them in their backyards and collect all the grubs at the end of the season:
This is because wasp larvae are just about the fattest, juiciest, softest nuggets of pure fat and protein in the entire animal kingdom. here’s a photo where you can see their dopey little faces up close, and guess what?? That’s all they have! Their faces are their only “armored” part, and only barely! They are plump, legless, unprotected blobs of food who own nothing to their name but one slightly crispy face! They’re the little guys with only a face!!! In all the world!
Every danger to an organism puts the pressure of natural selection on it. All the organisms sharing an ecosystem are selectively breeding one another’s characteristics just by existing together. So now here’s a kind of animal who has the MOST EDIBLE BABIES IN THE WORLD, and you and your ancestors all the way back to tiny proto-rodents knew that. The wasps who survived this constant assault were the wasps who were the best at defending those super delicious babies, and now that’s why you (the general you, not any one particular person here) think they’re “mean” and “aggressive.” Your entire family spent hundreds of millions of years slorping down their babies like free popcorn, forcing their gene pool to give them ever more painful stingers and more territorial behavior and then some of us walked in and said “wow, why are those things being assholes”
Most Dutch people under 40 hate the Dutch language and will take any chance to speak English instead so to go up to one and start talking to them in Dutch is, like, rude

ITEM HISTORY: Screye, developed by Esoteritech, is a mobile app that debuted in 2009. The app sought to emulate the functions of the centuries-old magical technology of scrying, or using a reflective surface to view and hear remote events, future happenings, or conversational partners. Though similar feats had been attempted and moderately successful in the 1980s using cathode ray televisions (known as “analog augury”), Screye was the first mass-market scrying program to achieve widespread success. Using the magical programming language Wand+, Screye automates the sometimes-laborious procedures of “dialing in” a scrying connection.
In order to comply with normality-compliance secrecy regulations, Screye is not available on standard app delivery mechanisms. In order to use Screye, users must perform an operation on commercial smartphone devices colloquially known as a “magebreak,” modifying the device’s operating system to accept a new app delivery mechanism known as Wizapp. Though controversial at the time, magebreaking commercial smartphones is now fairly standard practice among extranormal users, and is the only way to access common extranormal programs such as Screye, the dating app ASMO, and moon-tracking app PhaseTracker.
Screye is extremely widely used in many professional and casual circles, being considered almost ubiquitous. It allows any user with an account on the service to contact any other user with the app, as well as some functionality to contact more traditional scrying tools such as mirrors, crystal balls, and the aforementioned cathode ray tube televisions. To comply with chronological integrity guidelines, it has no divination functionality - though there are reports of Screye “glitching” and showing users glimpses of potential future events.
[I am in the office of the head of Holistic Theology. The room is large for an office, a big comfortable chair across from a long couch. Every surface is in calm, warm, neutral colors, and the furniture is soft plush that isn’t too casual. As I listen to a small bubbling fountain on a bookshelf along one wall, I am given the feeling of a therapist’s office rather than a bureaucratic official. It’s a change I welcome.
Before too long, Wren enters with an apologetic smile and a clipboard. They are tall, somewhat thin. Curly blonde hair over a slender face with big green eyes that smile as they sit in the big chair across from me. They’re wearing a taupe sweater that looks hand-knit, and their voice is calm and even, placing their clipboard on their lap.]
W] Hope you weren’t waiting too long. Meghan, was it?
M] Yes. Wren?
W] Mhm. Head of Holistic Theology for the Office.
M] I saw your division’s poster and I have…a lot of questions.
[I am asked to meet Ms Bubb in the smoking area of a government building outside of DC. As I approach, she is seated at a picnic table, looking over paperwork. Barbara Bubb looks to be in her 70s. She has pure white hair over a tired and irritated face, a little too much makeup as she throws me a longsuffering look. She’s wearing two strings of pearls, an old fashioned black pantsuit, and a frown. When she speaks, her voice has the gravel of a decades-long smoking habit.]
Bubb] You the girl I’m supposed to talk to, honey?
Meghan] That’s right, ma’am. You can call me Meghan.
B] Mh-hm. You got me for twenty minutes.
M] I thought it was thirty.
B] I’m counting my smoke break. You mind if I smoke?
M] I’d rather you didn’t.
[She nonetheless pulls a pack of cigarettes from her purse and lights one.]
[The office is crowded when I make it in. A few dozen people in the waiting room of the simply-furnished building, weary eyed. Some waiting patiently, some not so patiently. As a slender man speaks tersely with a receptionist, I am unsure where to go. After I hesitate a moment, a man at the end of the desks waves at me.
He is short, barely over five feet tall. He is bald on the top of his head, with bursts of frizzy hair on either side above his ears. His eyes inspect me from behind huge and thick glasses rimmed with a brassy metal, above a brown corduroy suit with a green tie. When he speaks, he has a slight lisp and a heavy stammer.]
[July, 2021. I am in what appears to be a normal government building in northern Virginia. It could have passed for any one of the many nondescript office buildings in the area, only notable to those who know what they’re looking for. Once past security, I am led by security guards that look just a little more serious than you’d expect to an office door with “Asst. Director Carter” engraved on the door plate.
Carter himself is a slight African American man, in his 80s, his hair shock white. He moves slowly as I am ushered inside, bushy eyebrows raised for a moment as he puts down some papers and regards me.]
I feel confident enough to post these now. A collection of all the existing posters after some edits from the other post that got 13k notes! These are full size/quality. Go nuts.
You may use them for wallpapers, tabletop campaigns, whatever. Consider tipping me or buying a print or sticker on ko-fi here! If you do use them, let me know what for, or send pictures!
ship of Theseus dumb af conundrum. If I got my body replaced with a cool ass robot body the least of your worries should be if anything original of myself remains you should worry about the lasers
Santa is on strike due to global warming. All presents this year will be delivered by Sasha the Christmas Tiger. Milk and cookies may not be sufficient.
why r poly ppl interpreting that post in the worst way possible? no one is shitting on poly relationships. all everyone is saying (not in the nicest way) that they couldn't do it. like if i'm dating someone and they ask to add an additional person or more (or for a threesome), clearly that means i'm not good enough for them right??? bc obviously that means they saw something else they liked. strange that no one is looking at this from a monogamous view. find someone else to do it.
… Did… Did you just ask why nobody is talking about how a sexual identity would look like from the perspective of someone who is practicing said sexual identity without actual having said sexual identity???
That doesn’t make any sense!
Nobody said a monogamous person should be forced to give up their idea of a relationship just to accommodate someone else. What I said was with the context of the notes of said post.
In which suicide was encouraged.
There are clearly people who are phobic or even extremely phobic of polyamourus people, whether OP is actually a part of any said groups is unknown.
