I’m not super fond of the way vampires turn pale no matter their skin tone so here’s a proposal:
Colder tones!!!
This was loosely based off livor mortis which is the bluish-purple discoloration of the skin of dead bodies. It’s a result of the gravitation of blood but fuck that vamps are purple now
Conclusion: The Count from Sesame Street is a VOC (Vampire of Color), and we stan
btw… important PSA: cutting off the mold on the surface of food does nothing. you can only see the spores on the surface, but mold itself has spread and grown roots into the food. by the time you can actually *see* the spores, that piece of food is completely full of it. youre still eating mold.
many of which are poisonous and have been shown to cause cancer. youre not even supposed to sniff it, because that can get spores into your lungs. like if you look up the health and safety guidelines for mold they barely stop short of telling you to put on a hazmat suit.
like produce is okay as long as you cut around it at least an inch, but cooked foods? you gonna die. stop eating mold people
as funny as the whole mabel grilling ford about his thing with bill is, i fully believe that girl is oblivious when it comes to actual relationships that aren’t fairytale romances. she’s twelve, not her fault. also, most of what we know about ford’s relationship with bill comes from ford himself, and dipper was the one who hung out with him the most and read the journals religiously. however, he’s also twelve. so i think that the most realistic way dipper and mabel find out about bill and ford’s toxic situationship is just. dipper hearing ford complain about bill in the lab and then like four years later sitting bolt upright in the middle of the night and going. Oh My God Grunkle Ford Fucked Bill Cipher.
So been binging a couple of food competition shows recently on Netflix, and I absolutely don’t understand how Netflix haven’t cracked the formula on this.
So many shows have one or two hosts and only two judges? The hosts don’t do any judging and just exist to awkwardly quip. Two judges means there’s never any serious disagreement so episodes consist of them basically spectating competitor fuck-ups as opposed to judging innovation or anything.
And Netflix shows also seem to do two rounds, a challenge round and an elimination round but the winner of the challenge round never gets any advantage or protection from elimination.
This is what Masterchef Australia nailed from the very first season, and I do not understand why it’s hasn’t been duplicated everywhere. In this video essay I will…
also like 10-15 years from now I hope someone makes one of those inspirational sports movies except it’s a 50 year old woman who wants to play competitive online games and everyone tells her she can’t because she’s too old, her reflexes are too slow, etc, and she gets this grizzled trainer except they’re a 19 year old kid who had a promising career until carpal tunnel syndrome ruined their chances of becoming the world champion so they train her and she fuckin wins, the end. movie of the year.
The Grandma(ster)
and her game handle (is that what it’s called?) can be grandma.ster or some variant
I’m sorry. Why are we calling a 50 yr old a grandma? That’s literally just a regular lady with a fun hobby 😂
She had kids young
My mum was a grandma at 50? That’s not even young to be a grandma? I mean, it’s on the younger end of grandmas, but it’s absolutely not unusual. Perfectly normal grandma age.
Grandmas, believe it or not, are regular ladies with fun hobbies.
her son is at first angry and embarrassed and derides her ambitions and tells her to get a Real Hobby like quilting
but he watches her dedicate herself tirelessly to her craft and also get griefed by the rival bully character and so the son eventually takes up her cause and becomes her first stan
in the final triumphant tournament match we see her son jumping up and down and cheering for her and waving her baby granddaughter in the air like LOOK THATS GRANDMA SHE’S A CHAMPION and the son’s wife has to hastily grab the baby back before she gets thrown around like a beach ball at a concert
but he watches her dedicate herself tirelessly to her craft and also get griefed by the rival bully character and so the son eventually takes up her cause and becomes her first stan
goyishe tumblr leftists seeing a quote from the torah: wow. i can’t believe they fucking mentioned israel. kind of problematic. fucking zionists.
when the genocidal settler state that calls itself israel falls, the jewish religious concept of israel will still exist. and leftists have to be okay with that. because the alternative is getting rid of judaism entirely. and you can see where that line of thinking is flawed.
if you can’t conceptualize that the state and the religious concept are two different things, then israel-the-state’s propaganda has worked on you. zionism and judaism are not the same thing, and if you think they are, you’re an antisemite. sorry.
this post has gotten way more attention than i expected it to. if you’re going to be annoying on this post or in my inbox i ask you to instead please pick any fundraiser from this vetted list and help out a palestinian in need. any amount of money can make a massive difference. thanks.
not to enforce gender roles but a computer should NOT fucking have apps okay. if I wanted an app I’d go on my phone my laptop is for Programs. I mean this.
Computers have programs, and demons, and wizards, and overlays. Not apps!!
I have a great idea
What about a Linux distro based on something like Zorin OS
But
Only the packages required for the DE and all the basic stuff a computer does are actual packages and you can’t remove them
And everything else, all the pre installed software and everything you find in the software center, is a flatpak
And you’re forced to install everything through said software center
Hot take: Arch Linux isn’t inherently unstable, YOUR install of Arch is unstable because you installed it at 1:00 and didn’t understand what you were doing when you installed it.
If you take the time to Read The Fucking Friendly Manuel (scary concept I know) and understand what you are doing Arch is just as stable as other Oses such as Debian or Fedora.
If you build a house by yourself and it collapses, it’s not because houses are inherently unstable, it’s because you built it and didn’t check to see if you built it correctly.
I’d change this to “it’s not because DIY houses are inherently unstable”, but that’s generally a good take.
Take me for example, an extremely stable Arch based distro! No crashes!
tired of people acting like free drawing software is somehow worse and that it makes your art look “less good”
obligatory Krita plug
The only worthwhile thing KDE developers have made.
Fucking excuse me? Kate? The entire fuckin’ Plasma desktop?? Have you no respect?
The entire paradigm of “make advanced options available but slightly hidden so they don’t overwhelm newcomers” is such a good move, too, and KDE products tend to execute that pretty well.
Its just ubuntu girl, they aint worth it. Just breathe in the bong smoke

i fucking hate the “this is the good luck post.” Girl stop contributing to a superstitious environment with ur anecdotes there’s a million goddamn notes on it it’s statistically reasonable that a bunch of people remember the good things that happen after they reblog it
this is the statistically reasonable post, reblogging it will have no effect except for putting this post on your blog
just had a pumpkin spice latte for the first time. this fucks. everyone apologise to women right now
if you’re on this post saying “yeah it tastes fine but some women took it Too Far” you need to apologise to women. who cares if they got over excited about a coffee drink. yes even the white women. apologise now.
i cant explain why i think this is ontologically evil but i can tell you that it being called “huupe” tells me straight away that the people behind this cannot be trusted
I can’t wait for this thing to be shattered immediately
damn i’m really glad tax money went to *checks notes* a basketball hoop that requires electricity and an internet connection

Let’s Talk About Security Culture: Why Keeping Secrets is Cool and Sexy
It’s a natural impulse – if you love crime – to want to talk about how great it is. And if you hate America, it’s only natural to want to share your dreams for its future with the rest of tumblr dot com. It can feel brave and transgressive. And there is a drive to share your soul with the world at the heart of social media. Surely I should be posting the most concrete implications of my politics, right? This is the poster’s curse.
Security Culture refers to a set of “best practices” developed over the past several decades, largely (in a US context) coming out of radical environmental groups as they faced intense state repression, infiltration and entrapment. If you’re not familiar, there’s some fascinating crimethinc write ups to give you a window into that world:
Much of it boils down to: don’t talk about crimes, past or forthcoming with people who don’t need to know about them, and be mindful of the possibility of surveillance and infiltration. And, we can support each other as a community in minimizing risks, with an eye towards enabling bold action rather than getting bogged down in fears and anxieties. The guidelines that make sense for AG-based trouble-makers are different from the guidelines that make sense for posters, but plenty of common principles apply. To speak briefly to our position here as posters:
First, it bears saying that long term anonymity is extremely nearly impossible to maintain. Unless you’ve never accessed Tumblr without a vpn, and avoided connections with other ppl who can be associated with you/your location, and never shared pictures without scrubbing metadata, and a bunch of other 100% consistent steps, it’s trivial for the state to know who you are.
Second, just because something isn’t actively being prosecuted now doesn’t mean it can’t be prosecuted later. The priorities of the state change and a shift in power towards the right or a growth in radical action from the left can suddenly make it a priority to destroy anarchist networks or just find a few ppl to prosecute as examples (who probably weren’t that plugged into larger networks before getting arrested. Advocating for specific anti-government crimes or declarations of intent to commit such crimes are likely prosecutable even if charges don’t stick they’re an easy vector for legal harassment.
Third, it’s worth thinking about heat as separate from prosecutability. There are modes of engagement that may not be directly criminalized but signal that you are someone worth watching. Some people choose to be public in ways that make heat unavoidable. But it’s worth noting that heat isn’t strictly individualized, that it persists over time but also is going to shrink over time.
It’s easy on here, ime, to see yourself as a proud member of the crime fandom but not much of a content creator. And it’s easy to feel like you’ve generated an amount of heat where you’re locked into that role. But heat you generated 10 years ago is probably pretty well gone. Heat you generated 5 years ago has faded substantially. It’s worth thinking about how the world might shift in the coming years and what doors you want to keep open.
The non-individualized nature of heat also means that leaning into the spiciest of anti-state positions will make it a bad idea for people who are acting out those positions end up tied to you. Loudly talking about how “more people should be doing [X/Y/Z]” unfortunately sets you up to remain distant from people who might be doing or thinking about doing such things.
Which brings me back to: keeping secrets is sexy. Not spelling everything out builds intrigue. You can lay out a theoretical position and leave working out the practical implications of that as an exercise for the reader. There’s value in opacity. The poster’s curse and the drive to confess are extremely convenient for the state, but we can resist them. We can hold dreams in our hearts that we refuse to offer up to the posting spectacle.
The funniest homophobia I ever experienced was a Mormon lady at my work telling me she would accept me being gay because we have to get along as coworkers but I really should consider not being gay because gay people have sex like animals (especially gay men) and she just couldn’t stop thinking about it and how gross we are. She started really getting distressed, near tears, and saying ‘I can’t stop thinking about it. I can’t stop.“ over and over and miming some kind of sex acts with her hands and I was like ?????? What is happening???? One of the other Mormon ladies had to come over and pat her on the back and help her sit down to help her calm down and our boss gave her the afternoon off due to being too upset to work.
I also cant stop thinking about gay sex at work but i never get the afternoon off because of it :c
Americans really really need to be less paranoid and more capable of tolerating minor discomfort in public. Not everyone is a pervert/rapist/strangler/fiend. In fact, very few people are. Treating every violation of normal order as though it is a threat is why people are getting shot for turning around in a stranger’s driveway. This happens within the frameworks of basically every ideology present in American culture. It is an American illness. If your vision of the world doesn’t have room for saying “I’m sure it’s nothing” then you really gotta work some shit out.
