the blog killing axolotl is one of my favorite things that has ever happened on this website because talking about it afterwards sounds like an inside joke or perhaps a prank. like always be on the lookout for the blog killing axolotl. he can kill your blog. it happened to me once trust me.
there’s this very specific image of an axolotl plushie with the phrase ‘i am at my limit’ that i’m not posting for obvious reasons (even though i’m inoculated because i tried to post it before) that if you try to post it tumblr will immediately delete your blog. like completely. your blog is just gone if you try to post the image. you can get it reinstated but you have to go to staff and be like ‘hi my blog was killed by a picture of an axolotl can you please give me it back.’ we found this out completely accidentally when brianna brucespringsteendotcom made the image and then posted it and then her blog was just gone, at which point we started to experiment. anyway, a while later we found that if someone submits the image and you don’t know what it is and you try to post it it will also nuke your blog. this obviously all sounds like an incredibly stupid internet hoax so when you try to warn people about the blog killing axolotl you just sound like you’re trolling but i promise you, from the bottom of my heart, that we are not.
people in the tags are like ‘i don’t know if this is true but it sounds wild’ i feel like the old man you meet in the first five minutes of a horror movie that tells the teenagers on spring break not to visit the creepy old house at the end of the road

Fucked up that the greeks never took up the thing where you can break up a god into their masculine and feminine forms. It would increase their ability to cheat on each other exponentially.
Wait. No. You’re right. Zeus would literally never stop 69ing himself.
Simple comic featuring two characters labelled “favourite character existing” and “me” respectively. ‘Me’ raises their hand to blast an “aro beam” at their favourite character that has the aro pride flag colours.
Common mistake of new tumblr users is that they start off by only following art accounts that only post like monthly, and then they’re confused by why their dash is so dead. Girlie you need to get yourself some Post Hunter Gatherers too to get a more varied experience
i just saw the tag “canon complicit” instead of “canon compliant” and im laughing its like “canon is a criminal act that i unfortunately support with this fic”
The Three Grades:
Canon Compliant: “This fic goes along with canon.” (Because I like it? Because I’m too tired to disagree by writing my own fic? Who knows? The author may or may not tell us.)
Canon Compatible: “Listen, I know it ISN’T canon, but think of it as Microsoft Office for Mac, it’s COMPATIBLE with canon, and that counts.”
Canon Complicit: “I have not died a hero, so I have become an accessory to the Villainy of Canon.”
Canon Compatible is a great term for when your fic is Probably Not What Tolkien Would Have Wanted but it doesn’t really contradict anything in canon either
Canon Composite: “This is made up of the pieces of canon I accept, while discarding the stupid stuff.”
Canon Defiant: “I understand the author has made a decision, but given that it’s a stupid-ass decision I have elected to ignore it.”
Canon Casserole: “This is thrown together from a mix of canon, previous adaptations, random headcanons from the back of my mind, and a dash of ‘just because I want to’ for spice”
with why my adderall was having such uneven effects and varying efficacy
and the weird pattern of what made it work and not work and if it was building up in my system or not
and fucking nobody told me I shouldn’t drink a glass of Kool-Aid to take the pills with
or eat fucking Pop-Tarts or Life cereal
this is the most useful information I have ever received from tubr and it seems to be confirmed by several other places upon searching
so this actually should be spread like wildfire like actually
Me reading this realizing tunglr dawt kom gave me more information about my medication than MYDOCTORRRRRSSSSSS MYYYYYYYY FUCKENNNNN DOCTORSSSSS PLURAL MULTIPLE DOCTORSSSSSSSS
Reblogging to spread this ridiculously important info
Generally speaking, your doctors actually may not know these things. This is the kind of stuff to ask your pharmacist about.
also activated charcoal (including in toothpaste) fucks with all kinds of meds INCLUDING BIRTH CONTROL be safe out there people
thank you tumblr for putting this on my dash just before i am prescribed my adhd meds lmao. this is very useful information!!

One of my favourite mundane weirdnesses about Edinburgh is that we set the big clock visible approaching the station to be 3 minutes fast to make sure people are on time for their trains. My Favourite mundane weirdness of Edinburgh is that we check this by firing a cannon.
Sorry, a cannon?
Every day but Sunday :)
@calamitys-child I hope you don’t mind me pulling your tags out for posterity
Wait, is the cannon set to Big Clock Time or Actual Time?
Cannon set to real time, big clock check themselves against it to make sure they’re just slightly ahead! And it fires blank, though I worked out the range of it once and figured out if we ever loaded it I could put a hole in my mate’s roof
Y’all, my little nephew, who’s nickname is “Cabbage,” wanted a “punk jacket,” like Uncle Kade’s. (EMPHASIS ON LITTLE, be nice)
So, I asked him what kind of patches he wanted on it, and this is what we came up with. Just need to sew the patches down and line the vest. I can’t wait to finish it and send it to him.
oh yea no this fucking rocks i hope your little nephew loves this so much
These houses are also made of mud with thatched roofs. Locally sourced, abundant materials paired with designs that have stood the test of time MAKE SENSE.
There is a section of humanity who want this strange kind of uniformity across the world. Houses must be made of brieze blocks and have electric air con and gas heating. Same shops everywhere. Cultural homogeneity.
Reject it. This world is diverse and beautiful and humans have found so many diverse and beautiful solutions to our problems! Let’s treasure them.
That’s really interesting, usually when someone has a specific target, they don’t plan a minimum timeline for how long they will fight them, they usually aim to finish the job and then be done. It’s almost like they’re just trying to do the most damage to the Palestinian people as possible for as long as they can get away with it and Hamas has fuckall to do with it
And ðat’s why I þink it would be best for us to move to anoðer country.
I hate when people are in denial that christmas is christian. I always feel like I have to be sensitive around atheist/agnostic people who celebrate “cultural christmas.” like babes it’s still about the birth of jesus, and the reason it’s celebrated is because jesus is some people’s god. like I’m sorry. I’m not saying you’re christian if you celebrate christmas (obviously lol, there’s a lot more to being christian than that, like at a bare minimum identifying as christian) but it’s a christian holiday about the christian god.
girl help I’m getting they/them’d by well-meaning people who don’t know what a tomboy is
This feeling is strange and complicated. On the one hand it’s legit quite cool that nonbinary pronouns are becoming more widespread! On the other, I’ve spent my whole life pursuing interests and hobbies and ideals that weren’t seen as particularly feminine, and when I was younger this was a major source of bullying and stress alongside some generalized misogyny taking the form of “you can’t do or be anything you think is cool because you are innately inferior and to do otherwise means violating your nature,” and it took me a while to conclude that this was just straight horseshit top to bottom and I could do whatever I wanted and present myself however I wanted without in any way being Not A Girl, and now it’s like the exact same concept has flipped sides and is coming from a point of theoretical validation but still calculates out to “that’s not very ladylike of you, you must be something else”. anyway she/her thanks gang
I think it’s like. the understanding that the gender binary is a small part of a much wider space of identities is separate from the understanding that a lot of that gender binary is a false dichotomy that artificially walls off universal human experiences behind specific pronouns and while the first concept is gaining wider understanding the second is lagging a little, which means “I am a girl and I like doing boy things” reads as “oh I’ve heard about this, you must be one of the Others who don’t do the binary” rather than “the concept of ‘boy things’ is stupid from the jump”
just to be 100% clear
what this post is NOT talking about: using they/them pronouns for someone you don’t know, aren’t sure of, hasn’t had a chance to introduce themselves, etc.
what this post IS talking about: my highly personal experience seeing some people “correcting” my commenters that were using she/her pronouns for me, because, despite me exclusively using she/her pronouns and saying so whenever asked, through no action of mine they had gotten the idea that I was using “they/them”.
girl help I put a nuanced personal experience on the reading comprehension website
I wish I was a teenager in the 90s when disco was the hip new thing and they’d just invented the bicycle
I wish I’d been a teenager in the crazy 60’s when the new fashion trend was “thick furs to keep me safe from sabertooths and eternal winter” and halo 2 had just come out on the xbox
did u kno: There was a game where, instead of having your status displayed on the screen, you monitored your health by looking down at the heart tattoo on your left boob?
did u also kno: It was a Jurassic Park Game.
This was the only flagged post tumblr found on my blog that I felt strongly enough about to appeal.
found these on twitter that might be helpful to all rpers who want to make sure their themes and carrds are accessible to all
consider this for themes as well
Many TUMBLR users need to learn this

if you are doing any kind of design meant to reach large numbers of people, download a colorblindness filter (i use CVSimulator, its pretty simple and free) and use it religiously
I ran an Aliens rpg years back. But the players didn’t KNOW it was an Aliens game until halfway through the first session.
They thought it was a sci-fi game but they also thought the monsters were going to be zombies.
Over a period of 2 hours they then proceeded to make EVERY Aliens movie cliche “mistake” known to man. Because at the time they all made sense.
The characters in a story don’t know they’re in a story or what kind of story it is.
They might think their in a romcom instead of a slasher movie. And if you’re not in a slasher movie, why the fuck would you search through every closet in your house just because a cup mysteriously fell off a table in the dining room?
dentists will splash some water in your mouth and youll think “oh a nice drink of water i was parched” just for them to suck it back out with their wretched little tube. disingenuous behavior
A campaign where the players join an adventurers academy. You can leave out all the boring questing stuff and focus on the important parts where you loredump every week for 1,5 hours while your players attend their classes. there's also a witten test every few months and they get assignments
