tumblr told me ive liked 250 posts thanks tumblr im glad u can count how many times i’ve been a menace to someone on here because they tagged a post with “wikipedia” not thinking i, someone not actually related to wikipedia at all, would decide to come along and like it or reply to it or reblog it
“…the sight of Elon Musk charging towards Wikipedia with his trademark guile and delicacy was so predictable that it was almost relaxing. He saw a collective resource that people prized and he wanted to hurt it.”
Thoth knows Wikipedia’s not perfect, but I’d sooner have it handy than not have it.
I don’t always agree with the decisions of Wikipedia’s volunteer editors, but having learned that their decision on how to handle the James Somerton situation was to deem him non-notable and turn his article into a redirect to a brief writeup of Hbomberguy’s plagiarism investigation – well, like I said, this may not be a good decision, but in context it’s an extremely funny one.
This first image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail. Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground.
my dad is so funny he’ll cut out newspaper articles that he thinks i’d be interested in or that are relevant to a conversation we’ve had and print out whole wikipedia pages about some part of it that he was excited about and write a little letter about it and paperclip them all together and mail it to me and it’s such a waste of paper but it’s so sweet that i can’t even be annoyed about it

hey fellow Europeans (EU), just a friendly and mildly concerned reminder that in less than a month, the European elections are taking place. it’s an election with a historically low turnout, but one that is just as important as any other, if not more. the composition of the EU parliament determines the political direction of the EU, and has an impact on all 27 countries through directives and regulations that get voted.
we cannot let far right extremist parties get an even bigger stronghold there than they already do. sadly, there are very significant threats of exactly that happening from many countries.
so please, if you are an EU citizen living in the EU and are of voting age, check the modalities to vote in your country of residence, and make sure to make your voice heard.

While most of the anthropomorphic characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series are either scaled up or down in size to more naturally scale with one another, Storm the Albatross has the unique distinction of being a reasonable length for his species. Standing at 140 cm (4’ 7"), Storm is just slightly above the average height of the real-world wandering albatross.
As a fun aside, the seabirds that can be seen flying around the Starfall Islands in Sonic Frontiers (2022) are albatrosses.
this started as a joke but then i started actually thinking about it and now im really annoyed that IDs have this one letter that doesnt mean anything for cis people and is a huge pain in the ass for trans people when we could instead have literally lifesaving information so emergency medical services could just check ur wallet to see which blood to give you so you dont die or whatever But No
replace genders with blood types
dare to imagine a world where govt issue identification that days whether u are A, B, or O
Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than “Sorry I’m not interested.” No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I’m not interested. Don’t answer their questions. Don’t give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I’m not interested.

What does a stock photo of some random guy brooding have to do with my question
i’m so sorry to tell you that’s not some random guy brooding, that’s jensen ackles, the guy who played dean winchester in supernatural. i think this may be a screenshot from the show.
My mom calls him pouty and the other one squeezy
thank you, I didn’t do it intentionally
on the one hand im honored that my tags got noticed but on the other hand now everyone can see the fact that i got misha collins and jensen ackles mixed up
in my defense they look exactly the same
In your defense when you said this was Misha Collins I immediately believed you that this was his name instead of Jensen Shackles
This post gives off vintage Tumblr vibes
No the real vintage tumblr would already add at least one supernatural gif to the post
this happened an Hour ago
I’m sorry, I need to bring us back around to pouty and squeezy because that’s perfect and I love it
*tries to fit this gif in here somewhere*
THAT’S SQUEEZY!
he sure pouts a lot its the perfect name
I couldn’t find the right image to explain why my mom called the other one squeezy (because he often kept his lips “tightly squeezed”, according to her) so here’s this image instead
this post is from… *check notes* yesterday?
Ok, but what is a blorbo?
I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY MY MOM THAT I (ACCIDENTALLY) LIED TO YOU ALL
TURNS OUT, SOME 18 OR SO YEARS AGO MY MOM AND AUNT DECIDED TO GIVE SUPERNATURAL A GO AND STARTED WATCHING THE FIRST SEASON TOGETHER AND IT WAS MY AUNT, NOT MY MOM, WHO GAVE POUTY AND SQUEEZY THEIR NICKNAMES
I must add that my aunt is the kind of person who cares not about pop culture
there was a time when one-time-i-dreamt couldn’t even recognise jensen ackles in that “what the duck is a blorbo” post and now you’re posting the werepire marriage. celebration is in order
This one is for all of you lil freaks (affectionate), I recognize the name of the show now and don’t even call him Jensen Shackles anymore
