in case anyone was wondering where I disappeared to for the past few days, i’ve been going insane again. fun fact staring at stained glass windows for hours on end will not turn you catholic (source: i stared at so many stained glass windows to make this bc i really wanted to go for a realistic church window sort of vibe)
tumblr is a coward and won’t let me upload the full size images so you can look at them and zoom in to your heart’s content (please look at them. please) [1][2]
by making art you are improving no matter what im so serious never stop making art ever . Never stop drawing that game you like or those ocs only you know or things you see or objects that appeal to you or stars or hearts or shapes. draw wonky hands and weird proportions . This is important btw
I love when Tumblr has random funny bullshit videos without any description like this and I just have to trust either that my mutuals wouldn’t put unfunny things on my dash or that I’ve made good decisions on who to follow
Sharing the original video because nothing could prepare me for the offical sketch the police department sent.
NGL that is WAY funnier than Sasuke
tumblr put the video in the shadow realm so here’s the boy
Say thank you to people who make free stuff you can use however. Thank you repeating pattern artists, thank you texture artists, thank you background artists, thank you royalty free music artists, thank you font designers, thank you thank you thank you mwah mwah mwah
is “italian goodbye” (when you hug everyone goodbye and but then keep talking and then have to say goodbye again and do all that three more times before anyone makes it to their cars) or did my family just coin that
that’s a thing in american deaf culture
this may be another “every culture thinks they invented this” like keeping all your plastic grocery bags in one grocery bag or storing sewing supplies/bolts and nails/etc in the cookie tins
…have the children forgotten the art of the google search
a fascist is a far right ideologist. think nazis. they believe certain people are inherantly better than others because of race, class, etc.
i googled it but it was too big words brain hurt
so its like. yucky people
yes. to put it very mildly.
Fascist leaders gain power by blaming preexisting problems and manufacturing new problems to blame on a certain minority group.
They dehumanise this minority group and present it as dangerous and something that (in fascism’s final form) needs to be eliminated.
For example the Nazis did that to the Jews. They pretended and convinced some of the masses that Jews were somehow responsible for everything wrong and then used the fight against them to justify basically anything they wanted.
Blaming a minority is required for fascism to function, otherwise people just wouldn’t stand it. Which is why fascists love to widen the definition of the minority they blame for everything to prolong their unsustainable power, once they get in power that is.
Now I’m sure blaming a certain minority for all of the “totally real problems” that totally affect us while ignoring the actual real problems is something familiar. Basically every right wing party that’s even a smidge more right than basic neoliberalism does it at least to some degree.
Oh also, fascists like to imagine themselves as the superior and righteous and not responsible for anything bad that’s happening
If you can’t support Palestine without spewing antisemitic hate, you’re not actually Pro-Palestine, you’re just an antisemite who wants plausible deniability.
There are so many unintended consequences to well-intentioned actions. It feels like a game you can’t win.
#CHIDI WAS RIGHT
The Good Place really went with making their new Point ‘there is no ethical consumption under capitalism’ and I respect that
And then went on to say “blaming individuals for all of this is absurd and evil, as is locking them up for punishment instead of rehabilitation” and I respect that
Also, “consequentialism is a fundamentally flawed branch of ethics”
this remains one of my favorite shows ever made, simply because it had very real things to say, and said them explicitly, in a way that encouraged further discussion of those themes, all while being very entertaining.
No don’t be silly, I don’t want want ALL characters in my media to be girls. At least some of them need to be boys who look like girls and have complicated gender feels about it.
What about trans boys in your media?
As long as at least some of them look like girls (on purpose, rather than “not passing”), then they’re allowed to look like boys.
When I worked at the second coffee shop we had three sizes of ice cream, junior, single, and double, and they were all a *lot* of ice cream.
People would come up to the counter and ask for a double with strawberry and cookie dough and I’d say “you might want to do a single or junior with two flavors instead of a double, a double is really big” and they wouldn’t listen, and it was always a delight to watch their eyes open in mild panic as the scoops materialized in front of them.
But the *best* was when a kid would ask “dad can i have a double scoop?” And I’d say “you might want a junior scoop with two flavors, they’re big scoops” and the parent would say “no, he wants a double” because i worked at that coffee shop for six years and I had a lot of time to practice and very strong arms and I could easily pack a pint and a half of ice cream on top of a sugar cone, and I did so with gleeful abandon every time someone made that mistake and the kids *loved* it when I’d pass the cone over and it would almost tip out of their hands with the weight of the ice cream.
Kids who ordered a junior cone *also* got a truly unmanageable amount of ice cream, but that was never as amusing to me as watching the parents’ reactions as I was shoveling a monkey’s paw worth of ice cream into a waffle cone and they couldn’t change their mind mid-scoop because after all I *had* warned them and backing out after telling me to go ahead would be admitting defeat.
Anyway. If you were a kid who had an unwieldy double scoop at Bean Town Coffee Bar from 2005 to 2011, I hope you had as much fun with your ice cream as I did.
Also we did not give a single fuck about seasons so you could order a PSL or a peppermint latte whenever because who cares if it was “off season ” drink your coffee.
We would also stick a slice of pie in a blender with some vanilla ice cream and a splash of milk and call that a smoothie.
We had Italian sodas, which are soda water, syrup, and half and half, so we had about 40 flavors of torani syrup. Once there was this teenager who had lost a bet whose friends made him order an Italian soda with every flavor. I had nothing better to do so I filled an extra large cup with a half second pour of each flavor, mixed it together, poured half into a 20oz cup (waaaaaaaaay too much syrup for an Italian soda) and served the drink (i charged them for ten syrup shots). Since I had a bunch of the mixture left over, I tried it in a more moderate ratio in an Italian soda, and i can *still* taste the creme de menthe, blueberry, and caramel overwhelming everything else.
The kid drank his entire Italian soda and then threw up.
To be honest, I don’t know what’s going on here. I can’t follow everything, unfortunately because of the bad internet in Gaza.
But I heard some talk that tried to distort and discredit @el-shab-husseinI could not remain silent until my conscience was clear
Since the beginning of the war, I can almost swear and be certain that I have not found someone like Hussein who supported me and our people in Gaza. There are more than 200 families who support themselves through the gofundme link (and I am one of them), and without Hussein, donations would not have come to these campaigns.
Therefore, I ask all people who know Hussein and have dealt with him for a while, do not let some rumors and lies affect your view of him (especially to foreigners, because as Palestinians and Arabs in general, we trust him, and our view of him has not changed and will not change).
My message to you, my brother
My brother Hussein, you are truly wonderful, and my family and I will always and forever be very grateful to you. I love you, my friend ❤️
So do not let some lies affect you, know that you are successful when your critics are many and that you are a good person
