it makes me sad when people are ashamed of their old interests and make fun of people who are still into it. idc if you grew up on hetalia or homestuck or sans undertale aus or whatever the kids deem cringe these days. we were all cringe once. we will all be cringe again. live a little.
“my ship kissed!” “my ship held hands!!!” okay. well. my ship had holes in it and was doomed to sink from the very moment of its departure. my ship flipped and drowned all the passengers. my ship had a sail that only faced windward. my ship’s home had always been at the bottom of the ocean floor. my ship is stained with barnacles and prone to heavy winds. my ship’s dock isnt waiting for it to return. And they still didnt fuck even once
Pasta was given to us from the italians as the only gift that was worthwile looking at YOU go to uncle TONI and tell him pasta sucks right now and youll look into his sad pathetic EYES
Not to mention Jesus very much did just give people fish. Like, that was a significant thing that happened.
things not in the bible: the “give a man a fish vs teach a man to fish” quote
things in the bible: multiple stories of the generally-agreed-upon-to-be Coolest And Best Guy Ever giving a huge amount of fish to lots of people, and specifically that being a cool good thing that is approved of by the narrative
W H I L E pulling a bunch of guys off their jobs as fishermen to help him do it. Famously!
GOOD POINT! the stance the Bible seems to take on Knowing How To Fish seems to be trending negative with these data points 🤔
the number of jobs that disabled people could do with no problems if it weren’t for the way they would need to do it being deemed unprofessional is sooooo. 😐
like the things that keep disabled people out of a lot of jobs frequently have nothing to do with the actual requirements of the job
BRUH a dude I know from work came in for the first time in months and I thought he looked different but couldn’t figure out why?? So I asked if he’d changed his hair and he was like “BITCH I GOT TOP SURGERY”
“ohhhh immortality is fun now! but wait until you’re at the heat death of the universe And all the stars will be gone way before then!!!” look if you cant become god with an entire fucking hundred trillion years to work with, thats a mindset issue.
Entropy consumes all things.
entropy is a statistical phenomenon, and such things tend to come out in the wash of eternity. skill issue.
I’m defying the odds. I got maxwell’s demon scared. Im reversing the flow of heat and time. I have situations of staggering improbability playing out before my very eyes. I’m playing roullette with the angels. god plays dice and im putting them in an easy bake oven.
them: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST MEANS HUMANS MUST BE INDIVIDUALLY SELF-SUFFICIENT AND COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT
biologist:
Like literally the only reason we didn’t go extinct is because we are aggressively social creatures who community organized and helped each other when faced with disasters that drove other species over the brink.
(Like we’re so aggressively social that we looked at APEX PREDATORS and went ‘they look soft! Friend????’)
(The answer was yes because wolves are also aggressively social and they adopted the strange tall not-wolves just as eagerly.)
humans @ wolves: holy shit these things are so cute i wonder if they’ll let us pet them?

social darwinism is a concept exclusively employed by people who are both evil and pseudointellectual, 100% of the time, & is basically always code for upholding white supremacy and patriarchy

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I love when people are like “I can’t believe you reblogged that despite their user name, icon, bio, and last twenty posts” bc to me my dash is the only part of this website and I’m not slowing down to look at urls you could all be the same person
Something I felt compelled to write about. Intersectionality through symbolism. For the unaware, we are black. and this fact has changed the way we view some things, statements, and movements. Particularly, with regards to Watermelon, and Palestine.
As many may know, it’s something of a common racist stereotype for black people to be portrayed with watermelon or as loving watermelon, what isn’t so well known is the origin, The Watermelon during the Civil War Era was the symbol of emancipation, of the freed black, and it was used proudly as a show of support by many free blacks in the south as a statement of that belief in black emancipation, the stereotype was created as a way of fighting back at this antiracist symbolism.
As many know, The Watermelon has comparatively recently taken on a different meaning, that being the standing for Gazan Freedom. The reason for this being simple, Color. Watermelons have green black red and white in them, the colors of the Palestinian Flag.
The people of Palestine have had their country brutally occupied and oppressed by apartheid Israeli settlers for what is now the better part of one hundred years. and in this time they have been banned from the usage of their own Flag, and from the display of its colors. in 1980 this came to a head, the IOF shut down a Ramallah Art Gallery stating that the usage of red green black and white by Palestinians was prohibited under all circumstances, even in something as simple as a painting of a watermelon.
So many freedoms have been robbed from the Palestinian people that to even paint a water melon is deemed a crime.
The use of Watermelon as a symbol by Palestinains is an act of defiance. an act of the refusal of the corrupt tyranny of those who deem them lesser or unworthy of the simple right to exist.
Much like the use of Watermelon by free blacks.
We share far far more in common then ever we have differences.
Black Americans understand how it is to be a second class citizen considered below human in their own place of origin.
And I’m yet to meet a black person informed of the history of the area who doesn’t throughly condemn the IOF and firmly support the freedom of Gaza and Palestine writ large.
Inshallah we shall a Free Palestine in all our lifetimes.
best-case scenario, this sets off a spy-vs-spy scenario with trump guys and biden guys trying to assassinate the other team’s geriatric idol through increasingly outlandish means until they both get killed on election night by elaborate rube goldberg machines
DO NOT TRY TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE AT THE POLLS.
DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE AT THE POLLS.
NO ELECTION IS EVER A SURE THING, EVEN IF YOU’RE IN THE BLUEST OR REDDEST OF STATES. IF SOMEONE TRIES TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN SIT THIS ONE OUT, THEY ARE EITHER IGNORANT OR MALICIOUS.
VOTE.
YOU CAN GET YOUR PHONE OUT IN THE POLLS
YOU CAN’T TAKE PICTURES
BUT YOU CAN LOOK UP WHATEVER YOU WANT
LOOK PEOPLE AND POSITIONS UP IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHO THEY ARE, WHAT THEY STAND FOR, OR WHAT THE POSITION IS
the thing about adulthood is when someone says something extremely rude to you, you can either turn the other cheek or calmly & firmly correct them. The third option is to tell them “say that again, I’ll bite you” & everyone sort of nervously laughs and tries to move on from your little joke. Which is why I think it’s very important that when they do say it again you follow through. Nobody actually expects you to bite them. We should be biting more. Also if you’re with the county health department do not read thi s post

I love tumblr because humanity could find out that world will end in 2 days and like 4 seconds later someone will post about it in the destiel meme format.
I think one of the kindest things you can do for people with various mental health struggles is just… let people back into your life after they’ve been absent for a while.
Making friends as an adult is so fucking hard already and isolating yourself from other people is a very common symptom of depression, anxiety, burnout, ocd, trauma, grief, etc. Which means that someone will do the hard work of recovery/healing and resurface back into a world where their previous friends have written them off because they stopped showing up.
So if you know someone where you’re like “yeah we could have been better friends but they fell off the map a bit” and that person suddenly reaches out, or starts showing up to events even though you kind of forgot they were still in the group chat… well they may have been Going Through It and you don’t actually have to punish them for their absence you can just be glad that they’re back.
by the way this is the procedure to get out of gaza
it costs 5k USD per adult and 2.5k USD per child
if you want to raise this money via GOFUNDME it has to be arranged by someone who is NOT living in Palestine because GFM does not release money to Palestine. GFM also verifies every detail so it has to be accurate so you need someone who is out of Palestine and also familiar with the bureaucracy.
once you raise the money one of your FIRST ORDER RELATIVES have to deposit this money IN CASH and IN PERSON at the Cairo offices of a company called hala. this person cannot be a Palestinian male under 40 because they are not allowed to be Egypt without a permit
once you pay the money you have to WAIT for your names to be published by Egyptian military at the Rafah crossing and the you have 24 hours to get out
it is a very long and convoluted process that is impossible for most Palestinians who do not have contacts in other counties. Please please donate to the GFMs you see floating around because they’ve been verified and this is only the first step in an arduous journey. Once in Cairo, Palestinians aren’t allowed to work so they need money for their support also.
Wanted to design a fakemon based off of Truffle Pigs and my brain went brrrrrrrr
Truffles and trees have a symbiotic relationship (tree roots provide nutrients to truffles while truffles help trees access minerals they otherwise couldnt pull from the dirt) and I thought about like The Parallels to parasitic nature of paras/parasect.
Snufflin - Snufflin has no eyes and relies on its nose to follow the earthy scent of its parents. Its skin is hard and brittle, but the mushroom on its back absorbs some of the impact of falling or being stepped on.
Trufflin - The coat on Trufflin’s back may resemble fur, but it is actually an edible fungus. While considered a delicacy, its coat must be harvested with care as the mushroom growing from Trufflin’s head releases toxic spores when it is startled.
Kerfufflin - The older a Kerfufflin is, the softer its truffle coat becomes. Kerfufflins can be seen rubbing against trees and throwing its weight around to disperse the spores and scent from its coat to mark its territory. However this often releases the airborn toxins from the other mushrooms growing upon its back and caution is advised.
55 years for a unsuccessful burglary, theft, and the murder of a friend that was killed by police, when his only crime was breaking and entering when he was 15 years old.
As of March 2023, his sentence was reduced to 30 years. I know there’s a lot going on in the world, but if you can even just spread his story, please do! It makes a difference.
