Consent does not just apply to sex. It goes for anything. Whether that is hugs, or a pat on the shoulder, or even a handshake.
People also do not need to disclose their trauma as validation for why they do not want to be touched. People are allowed to say “no” to any form of contact, whether they have trauma or not.
Quit taking “please don’t touch me” as a personal attack on you.
Respect people’s bodies. Respect their boundaries. Please.
I’ll also say that consent goes for more than physical touch. I always make sure I have a loved one’s consent before venting about triggering topics and stuff like that.
I AM the fucking creatures. When I die I will be a corpse on the side of the highway baby! and when you drive by you won’t say “oh my god that’s a person” you will say “aww poor little bugger” like you would when you see a dead Racoon.
I give them a solemn nod like a war veteran at a memorial
the secret to being a cool adult is to wear things that your younger self wanted to wear but couldn’t and to do things that your younger self wanted to do but couldnt
This is the kind of thing I’m talking about when I say that being an adult is better than being a teenager.
Like reality isn’t fun, no, and I don’t like responsibilities, but no one can tell me I can’t dress someway, eat something or do anything. I can do anywhere and do anything situational factors not withstanding.
I think it’s incredibly fucked how capitalism discourages learning for learning’s sake. People will have interests they’ve spent years researching then say it’s “useless knowledge” bc it didn’t go towards a college degree and isn’t part of their job. Learning is never useless! Your brain is growing and developing throughout your whole life! People would never have epiphanies or sudden lightening strikes of creativity if they weren’t learning new things! That goes double for topics like science, politics, and history, which inform your understanding of the world you live in!
Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it’s so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer’s perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.
Ahmad Abdel Rahman says if bakeries had not re-opened their doors, many Palestinians would have been on the verge of losing their families to hunger. “We lived through difficult days, and no one looked at us. We were dying every day from starvation, from bombing, and from running behind the aid parachutes that the planes dropped over us. Aid was dropped from the aircraft into the sea,” he explained. “If we wanted to get food for our families, we had to go to the mouth of death, to the sea, to pick up the aid that fell there.”

“I hid from my children because of their constant insistence and requests for food. I used to tell them that I was going out to bring them food, but I would go to the house of one of my brothers and spend hours there until I was sure that my wife was able to force the children to go to sleep hungry and when they slept, my wife would send for me to come home. I slept beside them, hungry like them, trying to swallow my tears,” Ahmad recalled.
Today on Donuts and Dogs we encountered a large dog with a muzzle in a group with a few other dogs on the trail. I didn’t initiate anything but the dog came up and rubbed so aggressively affectionately on us that we had to pet him.
I offered that I’ve seen dogs muzzled to prevent them eating rocks as a roundabout question. His mom sighed and said he has to wear it because otherwise he eats marijuana.
Where is this dog finding marijuana on the trail though?
Cannabis Canine
It’s legal in my state and it’s heavily wooded here. People fucking love getting high in nature. I can only imagine there’s marijuana for days on all the local trails. Certainly enough to justify muzzling her dog on the regular.
“unalive” should just mean the opposite of undead. if undead means a dead thing thats alive, unalive shuld mean an alive things thats dead. no i dont have any examples. ☝️yet

Computers that still work but have become totally obsolete
I hate when people say ohhhh your pets only love you because you feed them. as if that wasn’t the first form of love any of us felt. get real.
So true. Food is literally what we use to tell animals we won’t hurt them. We give them food and then don’t do anything to them and the animal learns you’re a cool dude, and becomes open to bonding. When you bond, you Know your pet loves you. It’s the primary way we get feral kittens to start trusting humans. It’s no different really with people and how we come together, we bond over meals all the fucking time.
Also like. There is no higher praise than knowing an animal feels safe enough to come to you with their basic needs. That’s why I like when it’s cold and my cat comes to sit on my chest. She could go directly to the heater and often does when I’m at work, but does the heater cuddle back? Does it thumb rub her ears and talk to her in a voice she recognizes as contented and pleased?
this post seems to have broken containment and if anyone’s interested in what they were telling me to stop, i found the og post with this song and was mass reblogging it at an alarming rate. ive done this multiple times but i think this was the instance i reblogged it 64 times in a row
People with most mainstream tastes imaginable should not open their mouth on how anti piracy they are btw. Yea no shit you can depend on legal sources to watch Marvel and listen to tswift and Maroon 5. Thank you so much for signing the petition to close that platform that was the only one i could download this 2008 romanian dungeon synth ep from
Cheryl Dunye’s directorial debut, The Watermelon Woman, was out of print between 2000 and 2018. Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace was only available to watch on a pirate channel on YouTube until last year. There is still no way to watch the X-Files spinoff, The Lone Gunmen except to own a dvd box set that has been out of print since 2005. Or to pirate it. It’s on YouTube.
Piracy is incredibly important to keep media that’s weird, or out there or just embarrassing to someone in power, alive. We need piracy and we need to stop being snitches when someone pirates stuff.
While standing in line trying to get some food in the southern Gaza Strip, he yelled at the journalist Fakri Ibrahim, saying: ‘Send this picture to Israel and the world.’
No medical confirmation or psychological evaluation necessary. The law will be active by the 1st of November this year.
First names can also be changed while changing gender. One all inclusive package with minimum effort.
Here’s the AP article about it for anyone who wants it
[ID: The Destiel meme, edited to say, in the first panel, “I love you”, and in the second, “Today Germany passed a law that allows everyone to change their gender by simply going to the registry and telling them to change it.” End ID]
so this guy, he was going through some serious shit at this exact moment. he was the lifeguard. but he was negligent. and he wasn’t able to save someone
you can see this is him coming to grips with the fact that he’s going to have to live with that guilt for the rest of his life. you’re watching a man at the exact moment his heart shattered like glass.
spongebob may have just been pranking him (which is fucked up we’re not gonna get into it) but this man was surely left with some debilitating mental scars from this event
This wasn’t me but I’m interested to see who was responsible.
(also i have a shrimp dumpling recipe on my blog if u want since it is relevant to this ask)
I’d love to have it, thank you! Even though I don’t think I’d like working with raw shrimp, feel grossed out just touching a bag of raw shrimp lol
Whoever sent it gave me a burger themed ask so idk
Yeah ik what u mean by the texture being weird but if you have a big enough knife you wont even need to touch the shrimp very much. Just minceit up the slide it into a mixing bowl.
And im really intrigued as to who the anonymous rice enjoyer is
It took me a few seconds to realize this is new! The art style and the animation style are so similar to the originals that the only tells I could find are the higher quality from the ones I grew up with and they were never in a sushi restaurant in any of the old shorts I remember.
Revolving sushi bars came to the US in the early 2000s, so yes, this is delightfully sizing up a brand-new modern, interesting space with contraptions and objects we’re all familiar with and transforming into a fantastic battleground and obstacle course.
i love the fact that they kept the old style and not go for the more modern stylized forms
