it’s funny when quotes from communist figures breach containment online and people are like “btw in case you didn’t know this guy was really problematic”
what characters from the owl house did mao ship
if you don’t remember this man abused his wife to the point where she was so mentally ill she decided to pee for hours on end and starved people to the point where they ate their neighbors kids… maybe
Genuinely what do you mean by “she was so mentally ill she decided to pee for hours on end” what does that mean. I can find nothing on this and the human body cannot physically do that. Is this a typo???
Well, the best description for this would be that she decided she was going to pee on drip, which is why it would take. All day. She also also known for abusing the people who worked for her but given who her husband was, I’m not surprised
Which of Maos wives was this and where is your source
Fourth one, and I heard this one from a friend’s dad, who had family working for them at the time. Lived experience is good enough for me, as I know them personally, but you can take it or leave it
if anyone’s wondering what this is about, a woman died from an allergic reaction at a restaurant in a Disney park after repeatedly confirming that the food was allergen-free, and Disney is claiming that because her husband signed up for a free trial of Disney+ a few years ago, he waived all rights to sue them for any reason. i wish i was joking.
This is real and here is the patent. Nonconsensual data collection is detailed in column #4 on page 17.
Here’s a report on senators looking into this with Kroger and investigating the possibility that companies could use this to raise prices based on the age, gender, race, income and other customer info.
There’s a bunch of adhd advice out there that’s like “people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done” and it’s like well what if I don’t want to be stressed out all the time in order to function

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.
the epidemic of grown adults playing tiktoks at full volume in public is rampant why are you acting like a 7 year old with their first ipad you have a mortgage
“I would say, arguing that you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech, because you have nothing to say.”

how come i see so many characters that are commonly headcanoned as autistic and or generally neurodivergent in fanon, that are also treated as if they are a child, childlike, childish or young in fanon. this is a concerning pattern. you guys know infantilisation isnt the only way to treat neurodivergent characters right

see i’ve come to call this a “five pebbles situation” because that’s where i’ve seen it the most. just a few minutes ago a friend talked about a character in another character in another fandom who was very commonly hc’d as neurodivergent and also treated like a child and i just asked “five pebbles situation?” and wouldn’t you like to know what it was. it was a five fucking pebbles situation. that man is a grown ass man who does grown ass man things and is treated like a child in fanon
Don’t give CPR to wild animals: a thing you wouldn’t think you’d have to tell people but apparently you do. 💀
Also while I’m at it: keep your cats indoors so they can’t kill (or be killed by) wildlife.

that was an incredible google rabbit hole I just went down, good god
From the comments:
“If your cat damaged another animal enough it stopped breathing, it’s dead. You’re not calling the little bunny ambulance and taking it to the little bunny trauma bay. It’s DEAD. It did not have a little bunny heart attack that you need to give it little bunny chest compressions until you get the little bunny defibrillator and shock it until you get a little bunny perfusing rythym it’s DEAD JIM your cat KILLED IT.”
“fish don’t even know theyre wet” and? you don’t even know youre luft (air equivalent of wet)
This is a really good example of how we can just make up words that work. “Luft” is a perfect word for this it feels correct and we understand and can feel it.
Like it would’ve necessarily work with other words but “luft” is a combination of sounds that means luft (air equivalent of wet).
Thank you but the reason it works is because it is a deliberately chosen word!
The closest word we have in English for ‘wet but with air’ would be ‘aerated’, which is the past principle of the verb ‘aerate’. As a multi syllable Latin derived word, aerated wouldn’t feel equivalent to wet even if you just used it as an adjective in a sentence- so to have something that feels like ‘wet’ I looked for a monosyllabic air-related word with a German root.
As many have pointed out in the notes, ‘Luft’ means air in a lot of languages, because it comes from the proto-Germanic word ‘luftuz’. It’s also used in English as a chess term, and is a doublet of ‘loft’. Because it’s rare in conversational English but has the right etymology to evoke the idea of air and the texture of ‘wet’, it is very easily appropriated for the concept of ‘air equivalent of wet’.
this dog walked on stage during a biden rally and joe had his campaign team bury and seal the dog underground with bricks. this is SO fucked up, are some of you really voting for this ‘nice guy’?
Edit: wow this blew up. i dont have anything to promote but i made a response to the most common replies ive gotten to this as well as my thoughts on the direction the web has been heading. you can read it here if you like <3

now that there are no other options, we can start to make that money back however we like. So turn your webcam on so our advertisers know you’re paying attention

GUMROAD IS BANNING NSFW CONTENT IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS
I haven’t seen anyone talk about this yet, so I might as well.
They’ve updated their content policy to comply with payment processor Stripe and Paypal’s censorhip. They gave 24 hours. On March 16th 2024, Gumroad TOS will no longer allows sales of any written or drawn nsfw content.
This is going to hurt for so many creators. Giving that little time leaves people’s source of income wildly unstable, especially with such a huge overhaul of what content is allowed.
I hate this. I hate what censorship is turning the internet into. I hate that nsfw content creators keeo getting pushed to the fringes, that they need to digitally migrate so often, because nowhere can be trusted to allow their art for long.
I don’t know what to do next, there isn’t some sort of “here’s what you can do to help!” People just deserve to know.
