Hello everyone, new update. I was in the private clinic where I work as a volunteer dentist. We were safe, and suddenly, in a moment, we saw rubble, ash, and dust flying towards us. Blood, body parts, martyrs, and wounded were all around us. We had no choice but to hide to protect ourselves, so that we could survive. From death countless times. I did not know what else could happen to us. We saw all kinds of death, danger, and lack of security and peace. I ask everyone to help us so that we can escape from this brutal war that knows neither great nor small. Everyone is killed here. Help us by spreading and donating. Every $1 can change reality and means a lot to us. Thank you for your time.
I love when Tumblr has random funny bullshit videos without any description like this and I just have to trust either that my mutuals wouldn’t put unfunny things on my dash or that I’ve made good decisions on who to follow
Sharing the original video because nothing could prepare me for the offical sketch the police department sent.
I stop paying attention to French politics for like 1h and I come back to a (white) representative getting suspended from the National Assembly for brandishing a Palestinian flag during the questions to the government (the government was answering to the question “how can you look at yourself on a mirror if you support the massacres in Gaza and refuse to sanction Israel?” Question asked by a white female representative.)
Sébastien Delogu was escorted out by security for brandishing the flag. Being applauded by his party some of them starting even singing the “To arms, citizens, Form your battalions, Let’s March, let’s march!” Of the French anthem (starting it there is not an accident). He said that he doesn’t care about any sanction/punishment he would get for it because France is on the wrong side and it’s a duty to stand with the oppressed. He went on to quote Fanon on Twitter. “We are nothing on earth if we are not first and foremost the slave of a cause, that of people and that of justice and freedom. » ending his tweet with “No justice, no peace !”
I came back to a white female representative (the one with the question, Alma Dufour) calling out Meyer Habib (the representative of “French Israelis”). A white male representative (David Guiraud) almost getting into a fist fight with Meyer Habib and calling him a pig. Both of them telling him they will make sure he face justice for supporting a genocide. Guiraud then told to the journalists that after seeing so much horrors there’s only anger left to fight against this genocide and that all French people should be ashamed.
For context these representatives are the equivalent of US congressmen.
And in 20 minutes there’s a protest in Paris for Palestine.
being OCpilled is so fucking mortifying honestly. like oh… yeah….. heres my guy. i invented him. i can’t think about anything else except for him this week. but he isn’t cool or anything. he actually sucks. im just ill.
i’ve seen a lot of really messed up images in my time on the internet, weird fetish shit, even a few IRL gore images but nothing. NOTHING evokes such a deep seated, gut wrenching fear in me like this image of the fucking water slide from Action Park with the loop in it
I’m not even fucking joking. There are dozens of people in the replies and QRTs saying the same thing: the “PUSSY IN BIO” bots pots posted actual CP on their tweets.
IF YOU USE TWITTER, DO NOT HAVE AUTO-RECORDING ON, DO NOT STREAM AND MAKE SURE YOUR CACHES ARE CLEAN, POSSESSION OF CP - EVEN ACCIDENTAL - IS ILLEGAL. IF YOU SEE A TWEET HIDDEN FOR SPAM, DO NOT OPEN IT. I’m lucky to not have run into any CP/CSA footage myself yet, but I’m going to be extremely careful and I recommend you all be too. And if you DO happen to run into it, you can use websites like https://tips.fbi.gov/home. report.cybertip.org or iwf.org.uk/en/uk-report/ to report it.
we all know and love survivor guilt, but what about its uglier sister emotion, survivor envy?
that irrational, self-destructive, selfish part of you that thinks it should have been me. if it had been me, i wouldn’t have had to feel the agony of grief. i would feel better about myself if i’d only had the strength to make the sacrifice. i would be valued more if only i could take on the burden myself. i regret not siezing the chance to discover my limits. i despise the weakness of my own flesh. i hate you for making the choice for me. for not letting me hurt in your place.
Hey there, if you leave reviews lower than ★★★★★ (5 stars) then it would be pretty nice if you could also mention why. How the hell am I supposed to fix whatever caused this review if I have no idea what it is
the obsession with realism as the gold standard of quality is the hole where good creature design and interesting fx goes to die
it’s not realism that’s the issue, by the way, that’s just a style, it’s the way people often treat realism as the dictionary definition of good special effects
I have a lot of thoughts about realism as an aesthetic and how it is incredibly relative and how “realistic” is used to mean a huge variety of different things when people say it as a compliment for media lol
There are so many unintended consequences to well-intentioned actions. It feels like a game you can’t win.
#CHIDI WAS RIGHT
The Good Place really went with making their new Point ‘there is no ethical consumption under capitalism’ and I respect that
And then went on to say “blaming individuals for all of this is absurd and evil, as is locking them up for punishment instead of rehabilitation” and I respect that
Also, “consequentialism is a fundamentally flawed branch of ethics”
No one ever tell me anything bad about the person who runs this account.
the person who runs this account, Katie Gouldin, is an evolutionary biologist who has an EXCELLENT podcast called Creature Feature which compares and contrasts the weird behaviors of man and beast! she is super cute and funny too!
it’s really weird having a first dog be blind and then getting a second who can see…like how was I supposed to be prepared for this.
this creature can perceive when I put the treats up on the high shelf. or when I hide stuff behind my back. I can’t fool her!! she’s always watching me and she shouldn’t have this much knowledge!!!
I walk around at night and I shine my flash light directly into her eyes and I’ll just be standing there staring at her weird blue orbs for like 5 seconds until I realize it’s probably extremely annoying to her, because she has eyes!! I’ll turn on the light in the room and she gruffs and grumbles like ?? oh right!! light wakes you up!! the fuck??
“Generically medieval”, by which we mean our peerage is French, our castles are German, our weapons are Italian, and everybody speaks English.
you can have religion in one of 2 flavors: “woo hoo aesthetic garnish” and “Sinister State Control in Bad Allegory for Problems in Modern Christianity”
Also, the latter is aesthetically French Catholic, theologically German Protestant, and has the institutional structure of the Church of Scientology.
not to mention that this land is simultaneously inhabited by thinly modified northern vikings (Nordic
pre-medieval/9th century), travelling mongols (European medieval/13th century) and a wealthy italian merchant family with a house full of oil paintings (Southern European renaissance/15th century). the dance of the day is waltz (refined German 18th century country dance).
But it will only actually be called inaccurate if an adaptation chooses to add a Black person.
My 11-year-old couldn’t decide what flavor of ramen to make, so I told her to flip a coin. Heads for spicy chicken, tails for beef.
Taking my advice, she flipped a penny, and when it landed on tails she said “Wait! Wait! I did it wrong!”
I told her that she did it right, because the real reason for flipping a coin isn’t to let fate decide for you, but because when the coin is in the air, you will suddenly realize what you wanted in the first place.
I’m sure there’s a life lesson there somewhere…
But honestly, I have never known her to pass up spicy chicken.
Update: Yesterday, her brother asked her if she wanted a corn dog and she couldn’t decide, so again I told her to flip a coin. She did so, and without even looking which way it landed, she snatched the penny up and said “I want a corn dog”.
My sister did this to me. I was dithering between sandwiches and she said “the club sandwich” and I went “no! The French dip!” and this advice also works on almost everything else. It’s scary.

A young man, Fahmi Akkila, has reached out to me and trusted me to share his story with you in the hopes that it will spark people to donate and help him get his family to safety.
He’d been a hard working man, newly engaged, doing his best to build a good life for himself, his family, and his soon-to-be bride. And the genocide has taken away everything he’s worked so hard to achieve, his new apartment, his car, his jobs. And he’s now forced to bear the responsibility of protecting his family during this crisis.
Below are videos of the destruction taken by Fahmi:
He is requesting €160,000, which will go to evacuating 7 people from Gaza into Egypt, as well as to living expenses. They have only reached €545 after months of trying to raise money. Please donate if you can, and share this post. Every bit will help Fahmi and his family evacuate and start to rebuild.
You can also reach Fahmi at his tumblr @fahmiakkila
“I’m afraid of getting cancer from the cadmium in my painting supplies” I’m not 😌 I love you cadmium yellow. I love you vermillion red. I love you uranium orange, haven’t worked with you but I love you nevertheless. Most of all I love you arsenic green.
This dress could kill you but I completely understand why people in the late 19th century were willing to take that risk.
Here is uranium orange fiestaware, proving that beauty truly is pain.
just found out about London purple 🤤
I was wondering what was involved with London purple so as to merit its inclusion alongside such stars as arsenic green and uranium orange, and –
One time I was working as a waiter at a burger joint where the fries were tossed in salt and coriander and as I was bringing food over to the table for these two huge beefy guys one of them asks what the green stuff is so I go “it’s coriander” and his friend goes very seriously “he can’t have coriander” and I’m thinking shit ok maybe he’s allergic and guy 1 starts pulling up his sleeve to show me something and I’m thinking shit shit shit he’s probably breaking out in hives rn and it’s my fault but he just shows me his arm and he has this huge cursive font tattoo that just says “I fucking hate coriander”
“As a chemical engineering Ph.D. student at the University of Pittsburgh who uses a power wheelchair, I figured it wouldn’t be long before I met one of these bots in a frustrating face-off on a narrow sidewalk. What I didn’t realize was how dangerous, and dehumanizing, that scenario might be.
The robot was sitting motionless on the curb cut on the other side of Forbes Avenue. It wasn’t crossing with the rest of the pedestrians, and when I reached the curb, it didn’t move as the walk signal was ending. I found myself sitting in the street as the traffic light turned green, blocked by a non-sentient being incapable of understanding the consequences of its actions.”
“Now, thanks to the presence of these new delivery robots, the regular walk to my office has earned a spot on my ever-growing “Things to Worry About Daily” list. But don’t mistake this story for a protest against a singular company, or a warning about our possible autonomous future. In fact, the disabled community as a whole could greatly benefit from a delivery service for food or medicine.
"Instead, my experience is representative of a much larger, evolving problem. The advancement of robotics, AI, and other “futuristic” technologies has ushered in a new era in the ongoing struggle for representation of people with disabilities in large-scale decision-making settings. These technologies come with their own set of ethical design challenges, with more unknown consequences than ever before. And we have yet to have an honest, critical conversation about it.”
