We really going to ignore the fact that he donated once and is just using the same screenshot over and over?
Edit:
To clarify, I have no issue with someone donating. I’m pro-choice myself. The issue is he donates once when he says he’s going to donate each time, just so he can virtue signal about how he refuses to engage with someone.
Furthermore, I have issues with him replying to any criticism with this. You can criticize the smug pride in not engaging in debate and beating your opposition, yet he’ll assume you’re pro-life as a result.
He’s being a smug prick who is playing you all like a fiddle to get jerked off and you’re all falling for it.
If this is the hill you want to die on, Spidey, go for it. I’m quite happy with the idea of someone donating money to Planned Parenthood, and since I don’t know or care who he is, the virtue signalling is lost on me.
That aside, being suspicious of everyone for any nice act all the time is mentally exhausting so miss me with that.
… I literally say I have no issue with him donating money.
But he’s saying “I’m going to donate every time” and then he posts the same donation page. So rather than do what he says, he’s donating ONCE and using it to as an own against other people while using it to get ass pats from people who agree with him.
That’s literally the same screenshot, two hours apart.
This is like “man pledges to build house for every homeless person evicted from X location” except he builds ONE house and takes the same picture of it over and over again, yet claims he’s built 100 houses. It’s deceptive and he’s doing it to milk people for social praise.
The goal wasn’t to help people, because if it was he’d actually donate every time. It was to get ass pats.

today’s incoherent nap thought is that The Serial Killer is really some type of lichen. which is to say: it requires NOT ONLY a person who engages in the behavior of killing other people in a specific way. it crucially is an interaction between that person and social, cultural, etc concepts, media reactions, constructs about The Ultimate Criminal, & mental illness/trauma/cause & effect.
it’s an actually one of the best examples of a construct that’s SOOO specific to a certain time & place and yet we don’t see it like that because it’s OUR time and place (broadly). but it’s so important to see that The Serial Killer is a lichen. because it exposes almost everything else that is that too. who among us has not had a conversation about prison abolition which drags out this concept as some kind of proof that Some People Ontologically Need To Be Removed From Society! who along us has not witnessed people try to come up with some concrete list of Red Flags that someone may at some point BECOME The Serial Killer despite the fact that someone fundamentally hasn’t murdered someone until they engage in the behavior of murdering someone?
YOU KNOW?
it’s a lichen. it’s not one thing. it’s not. … you know. The Serial Killer is not a guy. it’s a bunch of stuff in the shape of a guy.

water-based, oil-based, and silicone-based lube are all suitable for either vaginal or anal sex. many people prefer silicone-based lubricants for anal sex because it’s so long-lasting and durable, which is helpful when you’re working with an orifice that won’t naturally lubricate itself. oil-based lubricants are also a no-go with latex condoms, which is relevant for both vaginal and anal sex. beyond that it’s all a matter of personal preference!
thank you dildo-smith Matt for chiming in, and while we’re at it let’s actually just go through the whole tl;dr pros/cons of the different families of lube!
water-based:
pros: easy to wash off/clean up, safe for use with any toy material.
cons: dries up quick and needs to be replenished often during sex.
silicone-based:
pros: long last. extremely long lasting.
cons: can be a pain in the ass to clean up, and not good for silicone toys as noted above.
oil-based:
pros: long-lasting, and often the best choice for folks with allergies/sensitive skin triggered by other lubricants.
I really appreciate when people share info even when it’s not relevant to them personally! you never know who might be following you who will really benefit from seeing it :)
some people are so used to mostly consuming media where the women and people of color are static set dressing in stories about white men that they can’t wrap their heads around the concept that female characters and characters of color can have arcs of their own. they’ll see a character who’s not a white man display a personality flaw that is clearly being set up to be overcome and they see it not as the setup of what promises to be an enticing character journey, but as an essential defining trait of their being, and proceed to demonize such characters for it. white men get to be dynamic and complex, women and people of color get essentialism and a pressure for likeability over good storytelling.
i’ll never not hold disdain for the idea of “content starvation” and the more i see people parade it around the more i hate it
i think v*ltron putting out eight seasons in two years really kickstarted this in online fan spaces specifically, but nowadays so many shows and games release things at an absolutely absurd rate. pokemon has been notoriously controversial for its crunch time and poor quality of games as a result, bingewatching culture has killed a lot of tv shows because executives have an expectation for instant success and will kill shows if they don’t meet it. and it’s frusterating to continue to see fans treat this like the norm when it comes to their favorite shows or games too. i don’t want to see things put out under absurd crunches. i don’t want to be surrounded by people who’ll cry “i’m so content starved!” and then dismiss the actual content they’re being offered in the same breath. i don’t want to see creators have to feel like they’ve got to keep up with the incessant demands of fans in order to continue making the thing they’re making. hiatuses are normal and there’s always plenty of other stuff to get into while you wait.
every time i see those posts like ‘what food from a show did YOU always wanna try’ i go lol none? but i just remembered im a liar
i always wanted the fucking soup brock made in the pokemon anime
Hello OP, i don’t have anyway to prove this is the same recipe they make in the shows but i make this to calm my inner kid from wanting the fictional soup:
300gr bacon, beef or chicken. A meat of your choice. These go specially well. I prefer chicken tights. Diced
1 medium onion, diced.
Garlic minced (i used 2-4 pieces depending on size)
300gr carrot, cleaned, peeled and diced.
3 sticks of celery, washed and diced.
800gr potato. Washed, peeled diced in quarters.
1 head of broccoli.
8 cups of stock of your preference. I recommend using the bones of the beef or chicken, but veggies stock works too for a vegetarian or vegan version.
3 tablespoons all purpose flour.
1 cup whole milk. (Almond or rice milk work fine for a vegan option)
½ cup heavy cream. (Skip it for a vegan option)
Salt and black pepper to taste.
½ teaspoon paprika, use the spicy one to get the warmth up a notch in winter.
1 tablespoon fresh chopped coriander. Optional.
1 cup diced gouda or manchego cheese. Optional but really ties all together.
Make sure you have all your ingredients ready and at hand for this one to make sure it comes out nice and tasty!!!
In a pot put water and the bones to prepare your stock (chicken, beef, veggie) You can use premade or bouillon cubes, just make sure its 8 cups worth of broth. In a different pot boil the potatoes until soft.
In a big pot put some butter or olive oil to fry the onion, when it turns a little transparent add the garlic, move constantly.
Add the celery and diced carrots, moving constantly.
The carrot will get a little brighter in color, add the diced meat. Salt and pepper to your taste.
Meanwhile, blend the potatoes with enough stock so your blender wont have trouble blending. If you have a food processor, it’ll be easier.
Ad the remaining stock to you big pot with the veggies and meat, add the broccoli chopped in bite size pieces. Add the paprika and taste for salt and pepper. Let over a medium fire for 10 min.
Separate 3 tbsp of the stock to mix with the flour, set aside. This will be a thickening agent.
Pour the potato mix on the big pot, move to integrate and taste for salt and pepper.
Add the milk and heavy cream. Move with a laddle. Have a final taste and let over low fire for 5 min.
Serve hot and decorate with a pinch of coriander and some cubes of cheese.
ENJOY!
Notes:
I personally prefer to use chicken, love how it goes with potatoes and veggies. Also the tight is very tender and flavorful. With beef you have to be careful not to overcook it or it’ll get gummy and hard to bite, so make adjustments.
VEGAN: could also skip the meat, cheese and heavy cream for a vegan option.
I make it for my younger sister and she loves it. Instead of meat i add some diced, toasted nuts when served. Cashew, pecan and pistachios work nicely.
You’ll have to use 5 tbsp of flour to thicken up the broth a tid bit more without the heavy cream but you can still use a vegan milk.
You can totally skip the coriander, but it adds another dept of flavor.
Do try it with the cheese tho, i promise it’s GODLY. Gouda and manchego are my fave, the melt nicely and have a strong after taste, but i guess any cheese that melts could work.
Finally, if you are like me and like spicy food you can add chopped chili. Serrano and arbol chiles are my go to’s, freshly chopped sprinkled just after serving my bowl.
Hope y'all give it a try and if you have any doubts do ask!
Provecho!
this is literally the best addition i’ve ever gotten to any of my posts thank you so much
Hey I tried this recipe out and I can confirm that it tastes heavenly!!
Can confirm this soup is absolutely divine!
Substituted spinach for broccoli because my partner is not a fan of the latter and used chicken and bacon. Gonna try it again with a nice Italian sausage in place of the chicken next time.
“When I first heard it, from a dog trainer who knew her behavioral science, it was a stunning moment. I remember where I was standing, what block of Brooklyn’s streets. It was like holding a piece of polished obsidian in the hand, feeling its weight and irreducibility. And its fathomless blackness. Punishment is reinforcing to the punisher. Of course. It fit the science, and it also fit the hidden memories stored in a deeply buried, rusty lockbox inside me. The people who walked down the street arbitrarily compressing their dogs’ tracheas, to which the poor beasts could only submit in uncomprehending misery; the parents who slapped their crying toddlers for the crime of being tired or hungry: These were not aberrantly malevolent villains. They were not doing what they did because they thought it was right, or even because it worked very well. They were simply caught in the same feedback loop in which all behavior is made. Their spasms of delivering small torments relieved their frustration and gave the impression of momentum toward a solution. Most potently, it immediately stopped the behavior. No matter that the effect probably won’t last: the reinforcer—the silence or the cessation of the annoyance—was exquisitely timed. Now. Boy does that feel good.”
— Melissa Holbrook Pierson, The Secret History of Kindness (2015)
every single day I think about how american black vultures are known for engaging in interspecific allopreening (preening between different species)
and they have a specific relationship with crested caracaras, in which the black vultures assist them by not only preening them after meals but also leading them to food in the first place, while the caracaras assist the black vultures by acting as a warning signal in case of danger
and while this is more typical of black vultures, this is not common at all for any member of the falconidae family— it’s a special bond!
yet another post in favor of vultures everyone , hope you enjoy:) and I implore you to do some more research on these incredible birds !!
EDIT: I meant interspecific allopreening! excuse my typo!
EDIT 2: black vultures do not have a superior sense of smell to caracaras, sorry for the misunderstanding!
I don’t know much about lady Gaga but I saw this clip on my timeline once years ago and since then I’ve been ride or die. idc. she a real one. I need this energy from more cis folks
you can get into a lot of debate about whether her Jo Calderone alter ego thing was a drag king or gender experimentation or whatever, but the thing everyone can agree on was that he was killing it
joel, a normal guy: i would love to go visit gem and search for etho
joel smallishbeans, machete in hand, snowshoes on, navigating the Canadian wilderness. he approaches a log cabin, the first civilization hes seen in hours, and knocks on the door. a nondescript 30-something man answers the door. “eefo?” he asks. the man looks at him, confused. joel shakes his head and walks away. he mudt be here somewhere, its only a matter of time
lizzie tells him this and he just goes silent for like a minute and then goes “im going in winter”
marketing targeted at today’s youth is so strange because like, they’ve picked up on certain things, but they can’t string the parts together in a cohesive way. It’s like one of those shitpost generators. I mean, yeah, they understand that reaction gifs are a thing, and they understand that emojis are a thing, and they understand that tyler oakley is a thing. but they can’t drive the point home. that is not a proper reaction to finding the right emoji. it doesn’t make sense. they’re trying, really hard, but the nuances of internet youth culture still manage to escape their corporate grasp
When a person with ADHD complains of severe anxiety, I recommend that the clinician not immediately accept the patient’s label for her emotional experience. A clinician should say, “Tell me more about your baseless, apprehensive fear,” which is the definition of anxiety. More times than not, a person with ADHD hyperarousal will give a quizzical look and respond, “I never said I was afraid.” If the patient can drop the label long enough to describe what the feeling is like, a clinician will likely hear, “I am always tense; I can’t relax enough to sit and watch a movie or TV program. I always feel like I have to go do something.” The patients are describing the inner experience of hyperactivity when it is not being expressed physically.
At the same time, people with ADHD also have fears that are based on real events in their lives. People with ADHD nervous systems are consistently inconsistent. The person is never sure that her abilities and intellect will show up when they are needed. Not being able to measure up at the job or at school, or in social circles is humiliating. It is understandable that people with ADHD live with persistent fear. These fears are real, so they do not indicate an anxiety disorder.
holy SHIT
Ooo okay, I really wanted to know what the source of this was and it’s Additude magazine, a 2021 last-updated-in-2021 article here titled Why Anxiety Disorder Is So Often Misdiagnosed.
I know I vibed with this quote and saw others do so in the tags so I thought a source would be helpful.
In many ADHD people, anxiety also becomes the de-facto coping mechanism to compensate for forgetfulness, distractability, etc. It is obviously a mistake to diagnose and treat “anxiety” in a vacuum, because there is in fact nothing irrational about “I obsessively triple-check scheduled appointments and that I’ve set my alarm clock because I have missed important appointments in the past and it was disastrous”
sorry, it’s a GOOD thing if cishet people use non-conforming pronouns or dress in non-conforming ways or whatever else. for one, that person may not be cishet. but more importantly, living in a society where more people feel comfortable exploring their relationship to gender and sexuality is an undoubtedly GOOD thing
”He’s queer baiting! He’s in a skirt!” I thought clothes weren’t gendered? What does a skirt have to do with gender and sexuality? Are you, perhaps, just a little bit bigoted?
“Girls with short hair are never straight.” Yes they are. It’s a haircut. I thought hair didn’t define gender? I thought we were allowed to do whatever we want with our hair? Why does she have to have long hair to be considered straight?
“you can’t use neopronouns, you’re not even non-binary!” I thought pronouns didn’t equal gender. I thought we could use whatever pronouns feels most correct. Why are you gendering these pronoun sets that were literally created to be used by anyone of any identity? Are you possibly trying to govern how other people express or experience gender?
Why are these things inherently queer? Are you stereotyping queer people? Are you trying to say that a specific type of person has to be queer? Why? Are you homophobic and transphobic? No? Then stop being a fucking prick and let people do whatever the fuck they want. Let cishet men wear skirts. Let straight woman have short hair. Let binary people use whatever pronouns they want. Stop pushing gender norms, it’s not progressive.
sometimes I see people get actively mad if a woman has short hair and is wearing cargo shorts and a hoodie with no makeup… and then mentions her husband. congrats! you just implied straight women should be dressing for men and fit certain societal beauty standards. they have as much of a right to shave their head and dress “butch” as queer women do. when feminine presentation is often associated with a lot of extra labor and clothing that makes physical activity more difficult - shaving your legs, maintaining long hair, doing your makeup, wearing heels - it’s a pretty basic feminist talking point that all women should be allowed to not do that stuff!
I’m okay with you “cis” and “straight” people, I just don’t agree with the lifestyle. Keep it in the bedroom, and stay away from kids with your “straight” stuff.

The allure of AI entices those people who fetishize ideas but dismiss the work. They’re the people who tell writers, “I’ll give you the idea, then you write it, and we’ll split the profits.” For them, the vision is everything, and the work is just an annoying obstacle. But the WORK is everything. The work is how a thing happens, where it’s made, where skill is put to work. AI in creativity is for the people who have no skill, no work, no effort, no ethic.

like literally the fact that this has 9 notes (and most other posts abt asian american rep i’ve seen, rbed, or written have similar amounts), is proving my point. every time i reblog or post anything about racism agains asians, i can literally see everyone scrolling past it. not even given a performative like. are y’all consciously ignoring it or are you truly just that desensitized to racism against asians?
May I add:
Dont fetishize asians.
Dont make coronavirus jokes about asians. (Yes, it’s still happening, and it’s still a problem.)
Dont like?? Stereotype asians? Not every asian you’re going to meet is good at math or lives on a diet of rice, that’s just rude as hell and wrong
Exactly. Speak up for everyone.
Keep the same energy for racism against all asians as we do with other races. That includes more than just east asians. Asia is more than China, Japan and Korea.
And I see y'all, you’re really selective about the shit y'all reblog from me. This should have more than one reblog.
There has been a sharp increase of AAPI hate crimes ever since the pandemic (especially in the Bay Area if you live in the United States). If you’re going to be an advocate for Asians, please don’t forget to include Southeast Asians, South Asians, Western Asians, Central Asians, and our Pacific Islander cousins in your activism. As well as mixed Asians, too, especially if they’re not white passing
This is a direct attack on the queer Community, stop accepting it.
The good news is, this is still in consultation, which means we can go and fill in the survey and explain that it’s bloody awful and will not, in fact, get us to vote for them.
I suspect this is the Tories flailing around and trying to up the culture war stuff after the kicking they got in the local elections. I’m hoping that all this fuckery will stay in limbo until the election, then get quietly dropped by a Labour government who know it won’t actually be a vote-winner. But UK politics may well disappoint me yet again, so we need to stay alert in case this comes back.
I was not expecting the day that my home country’s LGBTQIA+ policies become more “woke” than the ones of a supposedly developed country like the UK.
