if you had the 2006 guinness book of world records do you remember this guy with the record for the most straws stuffed in a mouth? why is he dressed like he’s in the matrix? slay.
is this the straw man you guys are always arguing with
emily gwen, the creator of the sunset lesbian flag that we’ve come to commonly use, still continues to live in poverty.
multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.
i’ve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. i’ve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.
please consider donating to emily’s ko-fi, especially if you’ve used their design to create something and profited from it.
PLEASE REBLOG THIS AND CONSIDER DONATING TO KEEP THEM AFLOAT, EVEN IF YOU CAN’T GIVE TOO MUCH. THEY DO NOT HAVE CONSISTENT AND STABLE HOUSING RIGHT NOW AND NOBODY IS HIRING EVEN IF THEY’RE APPLYING TO JOBS DAILY. EMILY’S BILLS ARE PILING UP AND THEY’VE BEEN PUTTING OFF THERAPY + PSYCHIATRIST + DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENTS BECAUSE THEY CAN’T AFFORD IT.
Hey, no homo, but I am sitting on the broken swing set out back in the perfect, quiet, 2:00am blackness and picturing the softness of your voice and the darkness of your eyes with such perfect and terrible clarity that it feels like I’m choking on my own heartbeat.
Now I’m eating croutons straight out of the bag.
Still no homo ?
I’m gonna level with you, friend: I am eating these croutons gay style.
Girl where did he even learn to take these kinds of pics…. he MUST have had a secret tumblr back in the days
Competing theory: He never had a tumblr, taking those pics just came naturally to him. Eventually he will consume the right combonation of narcotics and become the USAmerican Kwisatz Haderach
The weather’s getting warmer, so here’s my seasonal reminder for other folks who have issues staying hydrated (autistics, people on certain meds, people who hate water, whatever):
Jello is, in fact, mostly water. So are a lot of fruits, like melon, cucumber, and berries. Ice chips are also water. If you find it hard to drink enough day to day, try eating your water instead. Every little bit helps!
people really are going around treating tags like Internet recipe comments, huh
One thing that isn’t being discussed about the White Pharaoh is where on Earth the image came from.
“Oh, it’s just from an online slots game”
BUT THATS THE THING!!! IM NOT SURE ABOUT THAT!!! CAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK CLOSER:
THE BACKGROUND AND COLORS ARE DIFFERENT. Noticeably so, too, the first one has more muted colors and a realistic background while the second is incredibly saturated with an obviously drawn background. This would make genuinely no sense to have two pieces of advertising for the game be so different if this was made for the slots game.
My proposed theory: white pharaoh is a piece of stock artwork / imagery, explaining the artistic differences between the two pictures.
But this can only be solved by either
A. Finding the origin of picture 1
B. Finding the source of the stock artwork
Those willing, please help my search.
If You Seek Him you Might Find Him
Ok, according to Know Your Meme the slots thing came first in 2014, and the image that became the meme was an edit made in 2017.
I found a GIF of the original ad:
The edit we all use was specifically created to look more like a historical reconstruction, and it was used as part of a bunch of memes that existed to satirise American History Textbooks and racist ideologies/memes (but because the internet is a godforsaken shithole of course it was also at times used to directly express those ideologies/be a part of those memes). All our funny “White Pharoh is forcing me to build pyramids in Idao” posting is just a modern take on a meme that started in 2017.
My partner and I cancelled our Adobe accounts today because of this. Imagine if makers of physical art media had the right to pilfer your sketchbooks because you used their pencils and paints. That’s basically what Adobe is trying to foist on everyone.

Some fairies have taken residence on your property, and have grown fond of you, as much as those with such alien morals can. And they are not happy when the bank tried to foreclose on you.
“Excuse me!” The new suit and tie came up to the banker and the sheriff. “Sorry I’m late! Just had to finish up at the courthouse.”
The sheriff said, “And who are you?”
“Mr. Smith’s laywer. Hugh Mannington, from Faeman and associates.” He handed them both a card. While the banker and sheriff were looking at them, he winked at you. They didn’t recognize it, but you knew what this lawyer was.
Oh. Oh no.
When you left out those scones that night wondering how you were going to afford your home with the layoffs, you found them gone the next morning. You thought some animals ate them. When you had cupcakes that your mom sent you, the eaters showed themselves. You thought that circle of mushroom were just something decaying in the backyard. But the have real fairies living there? That certainly surprised you.
You questioned whether you’d be more or less surprised if it turned out a walrus lived there instead.
After that, you shared some of your little treats you got now and then. They were happy to have you with them and introduce them to new sweets. So when they learned about the foreclosure, they promised they would help.
The banker put the card away. “Well, you’re a bit late. We have the foreclosure notice. Nothing to stop this.”
“Actually, I think this will be more than enough to stop this.” The ‘lawyer’ reached into his jacket and produced a folded up paper. “This is an injunction issued by the judge. Timed and dated before the scheduled foreclosure.” He handed it to the sheriff.
The sheriff looked it over for a few minutes. “Looks like it’s legit. County seal and everything. We’re done here.”
“WHAT?! We were never given notice to oppose this! This can’t be legal,” fumed the banker.
The sheriff looked at him over his shades and just said, “That’s for the courts to decide. I’m outta here.”
The banker looked back at you. “You’ll regret this! I’ll make sure we take everything you have for this!”
As the banker got in his own car and left, the ‘lawyer’ giggled. “That was more fun than I thought!”
You smiled sadly and said, “Thanks, but this is just gonna delay things. I mean, no way that was actually legal.”
“Oh dear friend, one thing you’ll quickly learn through all this, everything is legal if the paperwork is filed. The emergency injunction? The court has all the paperwork to back it up, so even if they don’t remember, the paper trail says it all happened legally!”
“You mean you planted the paperwork?”
“Yup! And they can’t argue with the paperwork. We understand human laws, have for centuries. And we know how to manipulate them. Given everything, it’ll take about… oh, 78 years for this case to finish all the discovery, cases, appeals, and what not. During which time, you won’t be allowed to pay the mortgage and the bank will be responsible for the taxes. Which, they’ll have to pay or they forfeit the property. Is that long enough for you to enjoy your home?”
“Wha– I mean, yeah! Seriously?”
“Seriously. Now, we have a small request. What is this thing called ‘flan?’”
This is potentially life saving information everyone should know.
No you guys this post helped me find my cat. He was missing for almost a month and I’ve had him for over 12 years. After seeing this I put his favorite blanket he always slept on outside hoping he would smell mine or his scent and he was back the next fucking day asleep on it.
When my cat got out, we called and called for him, and then, later that night, I remembered similar advice to this, and so put his little scratching pad, which he adores, on the front porch. Not even half an hour later, I heard a thump, opened the door, and there was his big butt, meowing at me.
Important and vital
I don’t care that I reblogged this today I’m reblogging it again
This is an exception to not being related to writing.
I hope this helps somebody
Whenever someone in one of my buy swap sell groups reports a missing cat, I remember this post and pass the advice on. So far, ALL of the missing cats have come home.
[ID: A digital informational poster. Text: “HOW TO FIND A LOST DOG. On day 12 of searching for my dog in a heavily wooded area, distraught and hopeless, I ran into a couple of hunters. They said they lost the occasional dog on a hunt but always got them back. What they told me has helped many dogs and families be reunited. The dog owner(s) should take an article of clothing that has been worn at least all day, the longer the better, so the lost dog can pick up the scent. Bring the article of clothing to the location where the dog was last seen and leave it there. Also, if the dog has a crate and familiar toy, you can bring those too (unless location undesirable for crate). You might also want to leave a note requesting item(s) not to be moved. Leave a bowl of water there too, as the dog probably hasn’t had access to any. Do not bring food as this could attract other animal that the dog might avoid. Come back the next day, or check intermittently if possible. Hopefully the dog will be waiting there. I was skeptical and doubted my dog would be able to detect an article of clothing if he didn’t hear me calling his name as loud as possible all day for 12 days. But I returned the next day and sure enough found him sitting there! I hope this helps someone out there who’s missing a best friend. Good luck :)” End ID]
