look, we’re all in a state of shock and confusion right now. That’s to be expected. Just don’t… don’t go harassing any actors. Or any people who are posting about this rn. Because I keep seeing people guilt tripping like whole ass 14 year olds for having a hyperfixation on coraline. Like yall this is NOT what we need right now we need unity and the ability to have mature level headed discussions that DONT insult the intellect of who you’re arguing against please I beg
also to add in case you need to hear it: you’re not morally reprehensible for still liking his works, you’re not evil for being upset at yourself for falling into a parasocial relationship, you’re not a bad person for waiting for more info
sad news today. Beeftongue, slug beloved, is no more. it lived just over a year, a good long time for a Florida leatherleaf, and tasted dozens of lettuces and other delicious vegetation beyond any slug’s dreams. found under a fallen stop sign in Miami, I was honored to share some time with this awesome beast.
I am personally against assassination as a political tactic. I know that’s an unpopular opinion on this website but whatever. But what I have to add beyond that is that I’m kinda surprised it took this long for a serious attempt to happen. With all the rallies that guy has and how he wants his supporters to be allowed to have guns in certain locations I’d expected him to have an attempt on his life much sooner than this purely based on his own carelessness or something.
They just don’t assassinate politicians like they used to anymore
I need everyone to know that 2 months after I made this post, Shinzo Abe was killed with the Splatoon weapon.
If we bring this back, maybe we can make the funniest possible outcome right before the US election.
You have no idea what it’s like to not have wifi for 6 hours only to come home to half your friend group DM-ing you and asking if you have an alibi with no further context and this
“nothing is real atoms never touch each other youve never touched anything in your life” ok. well when i pet my dog he is soft and when he licks my hand it is wet and that is far more real to me than whatevers going on at an atomic level
what my atoms are doing is their fucking business man i’m busy trying to stop my dog from eating tissues directly out of the box
nuclei don’t touch, but the nucleus is not the core of reality. reality is made of electrons dancing. reality is made of bonds.
you pet your dog and the atoms that are you brush up against the atoms that are him, and the electrons that are you press into the electrons that are him, and both of them change their movement.
electrons of course are not really particles and do not really move.
you pet your dog and the electron-orbitals of your skin overlap with the electron-orbitals of his fur, and both are changed by the contact. you are not made of little motes floating alone in a void. you are a single unfathomable chord formed of a trillion vibrations, and so is he. and the note you play is changing at every moment by what you touch and how you breathe, and so is his. and atoms do not really have edges, and to touch is to interact, and when you put your hand on your dog the universe does not know that you are separate. the song expands to hold you both.
sometimes the moral of the story really is just “you cannot go back and what happened to you is going to be with you for the rest of your life. but it’s still going to be okay” huh
The Italian police raided some of LVMH’s Dior suppliers that make luxury handbags.
Italian prosecutors found Dior paid $57 to produce bags retailing for $2,780.
Italian prosecutors in Milaninvestigated the LVMH subsidiary Dior’s use of third-party suppliers in recent months. Prosecutors said these companies exploited workers to pump out bags for a small fraction of their store price. Citing documents examined by authorities, Reuters reported last month that Dior paid a supplier $57 to produce bags that retailed for about $2,780.
In probes through March and April, investigators found evidence that workers were sleeping in the facility so bags could be produced around the clock, Reuters reported. The probe also said safety devices on gluing and brushing machines were removed so workers could operate them faster.
The probe also extended to Giorgio Armani contractors. Armani paid contractors $99 per bag for products that sold for more than $1,900 in stores, according to documents seen by Reuters.
The prosecution said violating labor ruleswas a common industry practice that luxury giants relied on for higher profits.
So, obviously classic wizard robes aren’t wheelchair friendly. (Alright, admittedly this isn’t common knowledge and also this definitely isn’t a problem for most but listen, this is a problem for me and I’m pleased to present a solution for it nonetheless.)
The issue is in the sleeves and the length of the robes. The traditional trumpet style allows them to get snagged, dirty, and caught in the wheels.

This is distinctly not an issue with other mobility aids such as canes and crutches, these wizards are fine to carry on with their trumpet sleeves simply rolled up if needed.
ALT
Now, one solution might simply to shorten the sleeves and hem to be out of the way, but that looks rather silly so I won’t do that. Instead I propose the more elegant design of a hanging sleeve to maintain that flowy magical feel while allowing for better range of motion.
ALT
Honestly I just love the look of hanging sleeves in general and think more people should appreciate them, wheelchair user or not.
Do other countries have the chinese stores (if you have to ask what it is then you don’t) or is it just us in hungary
Traits of your friendly hometown liminal space kínai áruház:
-sometines, but not always, owned by someone from china
-clothes that will either last half an eternity or come with the seams already ripped
-clothes that you don’t know who would put on and are scared to ask so you just slide it back. You can feel that it’s been there for ages.
-knockoff toys that look like they came from an alternate universe
-on the cash register: cosmetics called things like “vaealine,” novelty lighters, slime, stim toys, nail polish that will either chip off in a day or smell like car paint and not budge not even with acetone
-if there is food being sold: chocolate with indredient labels in only arabic. You don’t know how it got there but it fascinates you.
YEAH there’s a store in Eger owned by a chinese dude, it mostly sells imported asian snacks and ingredients (from buldak noodles to star anise) but it’s decidedly not one of these things. It’s missing that certain liminal quality
If you live in hungary you’ve been to both of these places
where would i buy my knockoff but thanks to kínai áruház totally widespread ‘tornacipő’ (marketed as 'workout shoes’ specially for children in school for sports class but are designed totally as converse sneakers. like i am hungarian and thought for a long time that converse is a knockoff brand)(i only buy the black ones from the chinese - it’s like 1/10th price of an original - and all different colours in a real converse shop)
When i first saw converse shoes i was so weirded out like why is it so expensive it looks like the shoes you’d get at the kínai.
Isn’t this a thing in basically the entirety of the Balkans?
[medieval guard voice] you used to be able to look mysterious travelers in the face to figure out if they looked like anyone on ye olde conspicuously placed wanted posters. not any more though. because of cloak.
I realize this is an animal crossing meme but as an astrophysicist I was really excited for a second that someone was finally seeing the light on how fricking difficult and a huge waste of time it would be to try to terraform Mars
Trump isn’t guaranteed to win this year’s presidential election because he’s been shot at. In 2020, Trump supporters voted in heavy numbers, but guess what? They still lost because we outvoted them.
Do I want to vote for Biden? No, but I will since no third-party candidate has a winning chance, and I don’t want Trump to be president again. Unless y'all are gonna overthrow the American political system and government, we need to vote.
It’s normal to be terrified about this presidential election, but don’t allow it to stop you from voting and trying to stop that orange fucker from returning to office.
“sugar is poison” sugar is your body’s preferred fuel choice and if you stop eating entirely you will die
but fr when I see people claiming sugar addiction is this huge problem because when they stop eating sugar their bodies start relentlessly craving it I’m like yeah and the low fuel light on your dashboard means your car is addicted to gasoline like do you fucking hear yourself????
and then they go “but if I tough it out eventually the cravings go away, that means I was addicted to sugar” and I just want to grab them and scream “the cravings go away because your body has deduced that you must be living through some sort of famine and is diverting power to desperately attempt to keep your meat suit running by any means necessary and that’s NOT a good thing!! pls believe me there is absolutely no food you could possibly eat—bar actual life-threatening allergens and shit that’s gone bad—that could do more damage to you and your future descendants than spending significant amounts of time in famine mode!! you have officially started the slow process of starving yourself to death and it will not save you from the "horrors” of being fat oh my god stop treating your human body like a monster that must be tamed instead of a beautiful and complex organism that is doing it’s best to keep your dumb ass alive!!!!“
and then they ignore me or give me some other flawed excuse as to why it’s fine to never eat food and I get to go back to shutting up while watching people I love destroy themselves for the sake of being skinny while imagining going full [REDACTED FOR LEGAL REASONS] on the nearest diet brand CEO or health food influencer
also lets be real most people have no idea what an addiction actually is and seem to think it’s the same thing as having needs and desires which makes me want to attack John Harvey Kelloggs’ dusty corpse with a shovel but whatever I’m fine I’m over it nbd *screeches loud loud enough to shatter glass*
it’s practically taboo to still talk about covid but god i wish we could acknowledge the worldwide trauma it’s clearly still causing in people. like, it’s flat out just. not “polite” to talk about how a mass deadly event might, JUST MIGHT, emotionally affect us a little bit. how an airborne invisible-to-the-eye thing can just BE anywhere now. how abandoned we still feel by our respective governments. how we’ve lost family, friends, either to death or misinformation and cults, which they cling to because they’re ALSO afraid but often refuse to admit it because it’d mean admitting covid is real and ongoing. we just. can’t talk about it i guess.
the tumblr experience is that you’re flirting with a local trans girl for a week or two and are just about to schedule a date except then her blog gets nuked before you can add each other on discord and then the broken tumblr search makes it impossible to find her new blog

im watching literally every single note on this post like a hawk for her btw
i am not messing around i want my reptile zoo date with this woman and there are very few things that will stop me
The difference between 2014 and 2019 is insane in my mind and the jump from 2019 to 2024 both feels like it was yesterday and also like it was a different universe
