nothing sexier than that picture with the italian players on top of eachother after the win and the english ones going through the 5 stages of grief in the back
In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can’t donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.
the lowest tier, which costs 9 dollars, offers a week of connection while the very next, 16 dollars, will provide a full month of contact with the world to someone who desperately needs it. this is not some idle step. an entire month is a huge length of time for people who are displaced, terrified, and isolated.
really strange how you can be almost at peace with something that happened to you but it will continue to be a defining moment of your life for the rest of your life. you wont think about it much anymore but in a conversation about a film someone will mention the year it was released and you’ll think to yourself, “that was before it happened” and you’ll see an old photo and think how strange it is to have existed before it happened and somehow it’s like living a life in two acts
You ever think about how crows are acting not unlike how early humans probably did and you’re just like. Oh ok
I saw a Thing one time about how the earliest sign of civilization is a healed femur because that shows that we were taking care of each other because if we Didn’t a broken leg would mean you Die because you can’t. Do things
And I was thinking about this and I remembered also seeing an article about this one mated pair of crows where one of them broke its beak and thus couldn’t properly feed itself on its own. So the other one helps
So basically I have connected the two dots (“you didn’t connect shit”) I’ve connected them
And also they not only use tools but teach each other how to construct them, so uh
Really makes you think
Realistically I know immortality would kinda suck but I’d love to see where crows are going with this
Fun fact, there is little info on crows (as far as species of interest go) because they’re so good at evading human tactics for collection and observation. I had a friend who studied them in grad school. Not only do they describe humans to each other (so crows you’ve never seen before will avoid you), they also learn the precise distance of net cannons (for trapping and tagging) after 1 encounter and then stand at that distance the entire time (making naive researchers think maybe they can juuuust caych em). So basically you need to befriend them (a common strategy), or find a murder that’s never seen you before (researchers wear presidents masks to throw them off, but then they remember and describe the cars). In this case, you have one chance to collect enough in the group to get good data. Whatever crow you catch once, you probably will never catch again, ruling out biosensing devices (like they use with other birds and turtles n junk).
The latest big finding about crows is that they have a grasp of knowledge breadth, meaning they “know what they know” meaning they are conscious (self aware), have subjective experiences and can reflect on their knowledge. (Source) This also implies they have an understanding of the unknown.
Look up Andreas Nieder and Jon Marzluff’s work if you want the deep skinny.
That cat is absolutely an orphan-generating coal baron. The mustache and top-hat are there in spirit, if not actually. Legally, that cat’s name should be Reacher Gilt.
Apparently this comment got screenshotted, escaped containment, and made its way back to the owner of the cat who found me.
Hew name is Lucy, she is well-loved, and she just looks like that all the time:
feminism WIN: the orphan-generating coal baron cat is a GIRL
So y'all know how my laptop constantly disconnects from our wifi and how it’s the only device in the house to be doing that?
Well today it completely gave out. That’s right, gone.
Now, there’s a small tab on the taskbar that lets me connect to wifi. Guess what? THE WIFI TAB IS GONE!!! It’s not even there!!!
I panic! Run straight to settings, maybe I can boot it up from there AND IT’S NOT THERE?!
I had to got to computer help system.
I find a way to turn it on, so, I clicked the button. There’s a small loading circle. And then. NOTHING!!! LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENS!!! MY WIFI DOESN’T COME BACK BUT THE BUTTON DOES!!
I go, reset the laptop in hopes that it’ll work! 5 minutes later, STILL NOTHING!!!
I go to the advanced settings, pray tell, a network reset. I click it. Dear reader, I’ll give you three guesses what happened next.
CORRECT!
NOTHING :D
I swear to christ WHAT THE FUCK
Interesting. Outside of a virus or someone fucking wiþ you, I do believe I’m stumped.
maybe it has a combination of buttons that turns off wifi? try using fn and some buttons (typically one of the F1-12 buttons)
Powerpuff Girls was actually a show about a group of small children crushing the patriarchy and no one will convince me otherwise
Anyone who tries to convince you otherwise obviously wasn’t watching the same show.
reasons why i love this show so much
I love that the most tiny feminine delicate sweetheart of the three does the traditionaly masculine chores. Kinda makes me wanna see a teen Bubbles change a tire in a pretty dress and hair bow.
honestly i think my fav part of this gifset is the fact that those last two are probably supposed to be Their Chores but only Bubbles is doing them like that is peak sibling energy, flawless execution
Didn’t PPG have a villain that was specifically meant to mock feminists as man haters that use feminism to harm others?
They did and if you watch the whole episode you see the PPG get tricked into letting the villain committ crime out of female solidarity.
Then several women step in to talk to the PPG about how the villain is using feminism as a scapegoat to get away with toxic and criminal behavior. And how what the villain is doing isnt actually feminist at all.
Like that episode was very good about addressing toxic behaivor from people who are supposedly woke or whatever.
An episode a lot of Tumblr should watch given the rampant radfem and terf ideology that gets spread on here.
in conclusion
stan powerpuff girls for clear skin
Additionally: look at Bubble’s smile and pure joy when her sisters bring up her role. That’s not a child who’s getting shunted with the sibling chores, that’s a child who decided one Sunday morning “I’m going to wash the car, it sounds fun!” and no one has stopped her since.
Remembering when I went over to my female teacher’s house in 5th grade and saw that she lived with another female teacher & went home going “wow, so teachers really do all live together!” & then my family had to explain to me what lesbians are
This reminds me of when I was a kid and my very Scottish grandma did child minding for extra money. At one point she looked after these three siblings that were adopted from Guatemala. The kids had two moms. It was the 90s and I’m Canadian.
Now, you would think that even in the 90s most adults would see two women who live in the same house and have adopted children together and think “Harold, they’re lesbians”. My mom certainly did, internally, but my grandma never brought it up, leaving my mom to wonder whether my grandma was being uncharacteristically discreet or if there was something about the situation my mom was misreading.
One day my grandma needed a hand with something to do with the kids, so my mom came over to the house, whereupon she noticed that the two women who lived together slept in one bedroom, and said “ohhh, they’re lesbians.”
To which my grandmother indignantly rebutted, “they’re not lesbians, they’re Scottish.”
According to my grandmother, you see, it’s cold in Scotland, so women live and sleep together all the time and women who do this are not lesbians, because it’s cold (????). Therefore, upon noticing two women living together in Western Canada, adopting children together, and sleeping in the same bed together year-round, my grandma had mentally categorized these women as Scottish.
I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.
Geological horror. You find a geode and crack it open and the crystal lining its walls is human blood that can’t be genetically matched to anyone. You find a human skeleton but every one of the bones is made from rock, a rock that you know can’t be whittled into those shapes. You find layers of clay and loam that sport ancient fossils at the top and the still-rotting corpses of modern animals at the bottom.
This reminds me of the blood river in Antarctica. For like a century scientists had no clue why this river looked like, acted like, and felt exactly like blood. Turns out it’s just really high in iron.
“Blood River in Antartica” yeah right there’s no way a river looks like bl-

…nevermind
I love teaching my students about the blood river.
I’m not exaggerating when I say this post changed my life. Seeing this as a terrified self hating 17 year old was like finding a fresh water lake in the middle of the Sahara.
One year ago I found this Tweet and I wrote it on a sticky Note and taped it on the wall over my desk.
Not the anon, but Kosa is a bill that's soon going to pass where minors on the internet get their parents to see what they search up and restrict things that are deemed "inappropriate." When in reality it prevents kids who are trying to learn about the lbgtq community and kids trying to identify abuse. The bill will change the internet forever and NOT in a good way.
Im pretty sure the anon is trying to ask you to spread awareness about this.
If any of you ever feel like what you’re doing for Palestine isn’t helping anything, I’ll tell you right now it’s helping me. I know it is fortifying all of us who have been in this fight for years to see so many people willing to speak up. It has never been like this before.
The tide has already turned. The fact that #free palestine will have new posts everyday, that helps me. It helps my mental health knowing that Palestinians are less alone now than ever.
Yesterday I read some verses from the Quran talking about how “the blame” is not with those who wish to help but cannot, but with those who CAN help and do not.
Truly I do not care if all you do for Palestine is post in that #free palestine everyday, that is still more than many people with the means to do even more would do.
We see you. We see you standing in solidarity with us and with Palestinians. We love you. Thank you.
I have to keep reminding myself that the point of collective action is that it’s collective.
It’s terrifying and demoralizing that nothing thus far has stopped or more than briefly paused the genocide.
i think it is good to warn people in advance about the circumstances that will cause you to bite them and i think that having given that warning it is good to follow through when the time comes
the rattlesnake is an admirable creature whose virtues we should emulate
One time at dance some rando grabbed me by the waist and told me to dance with him and I told him “if you don’t let go I’m going to bite you” and he didn’t let go so I bit him and that really should be the end of the story but he thought that was funny so I turned around and gave him a donkey kick to the shins and took about a 4 inch strip of skin with me so what I learned that day is when one is without debilitating venom, one must be as a horse do
I don’t even care who fucking wins the presidency this year look at this
This makes an INCREDIBLE difference!!!! For fuck sake go vote!!!!
A few years back a Republican won my house district by six vote. Now she’s talking about making it illegal to protest the Gazan genocide. Pay attention to Congress
