murderbot is peak queer rep because it’s about living as an inherently transgressive form of being, it’s about the complexity of passing, or the complexity of hiding, or the nuance of never fitting binaries and not wanting to even when fitting those binaries is seen as “better”, and it’s about making people uncomfortable just by existing, it’s about measuring forms of freedom and having to decide which you’ll save and which you’ll sacrifice. but most importantly it’s peak queer rep because murderbot is free for like five minutes and it immediately attracts the nearest supposedly-rare transgressive-illegal-superbot (ART) in a hundred light year radius to be its best friend, and what’s that if not your classic Queer On Queer Magnetism
hi. i’m going to be $450 short on rent this month unless i get some help. i’m a digital artist, and would happily draw something in exchange for a couple bucks. examples of my work are on my art blog, but i can do almost anything, SFW or otherwise. please give me a hand, if you have the means. i’d seriously appreciate it.
abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn’t be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldn’t lmao
i hope it’s okay to add this because i think it hits the nail directly on the head
Honestly, it’s like picking up a book and saying “I know all these words, I can type, I could have written this” like there’s no middle step between the technical ability and the finished work.
People say that old games dont look as good as they remember
Its because they legitimately dont.
The “fuzz” from CRT monitors was something that was definitely accounted for and taken advantage of back in the day when it came to video games! While this effect is noticeable in 3D games, it’s MUCH more visible when it comes to 2D sprites:
Just look how much more depth these simple sprites of Princess Peach and Bowser from Super Mario RPG seem to have when seen through the “dots” of a CRT TV screen!
I somehow did not know this!?!?!?
One of the clearest examples of this is using the effect for transparent waterfalls in the MegaDrive Sonic games
My absolutely favourite example of this is with Dracula’s eyes in Castlevania
since i saw that accessibility post floating around here’s a contrast checker where you can just pop in any two colors and see if they pass modern standards, and here’s a tool from the same site that lets you just scan an entire web page for accessibility errors
note: i’m not an accessibility expert by any means, these are just some tools that helped me
rotating individual blorbos separately is great and all but i rotate pairs of characters together as one, spinning around each other, like a pair of celestial bodies in orbit. blorbit, if you will
do you think these popular blogs will ever admit they willfully fed into anti-palestinian rhetoric that the IDF has been using to justify the continuing war they’re waging on the palestinian people
It’s important to me that everyone understands that if you’ve got an autistic friend who periodically sends you pictures/videos/whatever of your Thing, because they know you’re into it… They love you.
Now don’t get me wrong, It may not necessarily be romantic love, they might not want to run off to a little farm in Montana where you’ll be married forever and raise little sheeps…
But they definitely love you. And they’re so happy when they spot a post about X and go “ooh, my friend likes X! I’ll send it to them!”.
Because they love you and want you to be happy.
Happiness is stored in the 3am discord DM of a link to a Tumblr post of a cute raccoon
Neurotypical people might do this too for the same reason, but I can’t speak for them. I don’t understand how they work.
I’m sorry if I was in any version of the pjo universe I would’ve clocked that Percy was the son of Poseidon as soon as the bathroom incident occurred. Tf you mean “I wonder who your dad is” he EXPLODED A TOILET. Chiron this is the second water incident you have witnessed how are you still confused
Percy is literally only good at water stuff and Chiron with 3000 years of knowledge is like “I wonder who his dad could be”
Today I was talking with my mom about why seeing an alligator is fundamental to my mental health. At first she laughed but I got her to listen and she gets it now. My psychiatrist and I call this the alligator litmus test, and it works really well for making decisions about my treatment. I bring this up because perhaps there is something in your life that you can use in a similar fashion.
I have severe major depressive disorder, and I treat this depression with medication. I’ve been on meds for about… seven years now, and sometimes we have to mess with them. But sometimes the emotional part of the depression is just super bad and there’s something underneath that needs to be addressed. When we are figuring this out, my psychiatrist says to take one alligator and call her in the morning.
See, no matter how bad I’m feeling, seeing an alligator almost always cheers me up in the moment. (This works with other large crocodilians, too- they gotta be big, it doesn’t work with caimans. I don’t know why.) I can’t look at their goofy toofers and beautiful eyes and bumpy hides and not be a little wowed by them. Millions of years of evolution have led to this amazing creature and they are completely unbothered by me. Almost all of the time, they make me feel happy. Or maybe I’ll feel sad for some unspecified reason. Maybe I’ll get worried about the ecosystem or something- but invariably, I will FEEL.
Unless, of course, it’s my brain chemistry. If I can experience an alligator and not feel anything- not happy, not sad, just numb- there’s something wrong and we should talk about adjusting my meds. Usually with a little tweaking I’m back to my very functional medicated baseline in quick order- instead of wasting time with coping skills and such alone when what I really need is brain chemicals, it’s a much quicker way to communicate what’s going on with me. At the same time, it also helps me know when the coping skills ARE likely to work without changing up my meds, or when there’s something I need to work through with some help.
It’s a pretty solid test. Might not work for anyone else on the planet, but it works great for me!

This is honest to god one of the funniest things I think I have ever seen. The idea of giving a baby a theme party based on a local personal injury attorney is something i am so jealous of I dont know how to properly put it into words.
Also the fact that the lawyer didn’t come to the party somehow makes it even funnier.
this is the kind of content i came here for
he didnt come to the party because he sees the baby as a future opponent
what the fuck
I admit I don’t know how a child’s brain works but as an adult the greatest sign of respect I feel capable of giving a child is to act as if they are prophesized to destroy me when they come of age.
just started playing the outer wilds and it is terrifying to me. I love the music and the lil alien guys but then you’re blasting off into space in a simple little space craft and you can end up Hurtling through space uncontrollably until you run out of oxygen This is a cute little Nightmare
Based on Israel’s security assessment, so it’s not “Hamas propaganda”
Why did they open fire on the festival? Soon, they’ll say it was to attack Hamas terrorists, so they can attack Israeli citizens and blame Hamas. It’s highly unlikely that hamas killed so many people, and launched that big of an attack without Israel detecting it for a year prior. And yet they apparently know every place where hamas is hiding. There are lies here somewhere.

Today, Dr. Hani Al-Haitham, head of the Shifa Hospital’s emergency department, was murdered, along with his wife, Dr. Sameera Ghifari, & their 5 children: Shireen, Tia, Sameer, Wafa & Sara.
In the video, he is holding a week old baby that was not yet named and was the only one saved from an airstrike.
