One implication of the fact that social media companies go out of their way to stoke hate and conflict is that everyone should probably get in the habit of thinking twice before diving into online controversies, because there’s a very good chance that they’re being deliberately taken out of context, exaggerated, or otherwise framed in an intellectually dishonest fashion
I know the majority of you won’t abide by this advice. But I figured I’d post it anyway.
“telling someone to kiss your ass or get fucked etc is actual sexual harassment making you a sexual predator” was a Tumblr thing for years that people tried to do to me and everyone I know at least once. If someone says someone else is terrible but *doesn’t specify precisely why* it’s usually this kind of thing.
Honestly this is a big part of why when i see internet drama going down i usually try to treat it the same way i would if i heard a bar fight happening down the street. Turn around and walk the other way.

i’m quietly malding about czech 20th century cultural heritage and archival footage never been as well done as gosteleradiofond in russia, an entire agency sponsored by the state that does nothing but upload all different types of media literally every two hours to a youtube channel in HD.
i want to be able to watch a random czech cooking program that aired only in ustecký kraj for one rainy thursday in april of 1982 or a czech-made nature documentary about seals on the canadian islands made in late 1978 at the click of a button, and not have to wait for ČT24 or whatever other godless organization to upload some random 30 second clip of the most popular normal media everyone has seen once every 5 weeks in a 1:1 aspect ratio.
seriously no other country on the planet has mastered the art of saving their 20th century cultural heritage like gosteleradiofond has - and it’s all powered by the eternal spirit of pyotr demichev and his hairline.
I love seeing a meme and being like oh, tumblrs going to love this one
I don’t see right angles
They’re marked with tiny grey squares. But to be more precise, any line that goes through the center of a circle will intersect the circle at a right angle.
It’s constructed like this:
All 4 sides of A and B are right triangles. Same with C and D. Then we erase some lines and:
This shape. Except mine doesn’t have for equal length sides, theirs does.
Now, this is breaking a Euclidean postulate. Specifically that the lines aren’t straight. I’m not sure if “angles must be measured from inside the shape” is also a Euclidean rule. I think it’s a natural side-effect of the Eucliduan postulates which makes it a Euclidian correlary.
Point is, that this is a pretty standard Non-Euclidian shape, specifically a non-Euclidian square. This is what Lovecraft expects you to be afraid of.
Well I know at least one person in the world that would be afraid…

i think you’re lowballing the furry art amount tbh
I’m sorry for the inaccuracies, Doctor Yiff
no matter how I respond to this I don’t look good, well played. i walked right into that
Well, furry artists are typically more competent and courteous than your average doctor, so I can see that.
Did you just legitimately tell me that a person who draws wolf ass is more competent than a dude who spent 8+ years in a university to give you your lung transplant?
doctors are bullshit and furry artists perform an infinitely more valuable service to society compared to them
You will die in 7 days
It took doctor’s like 10 years to diagnose what was wrong with me, some insisting I was faking for attention while a furry artist I knew just went “that sounds like crohn’s” after hearing me complain once and ended up being right
Also I can’t go to a doctor and ask them to draw Rouge the Bat wider than she is tall with tits to match, now can I
[ID: a comic illustrating the above thread as if it was happening in a theater. The users are mostly shaped like their icons, pukicho is a pikachu and hokuto-ju-no-ken is a gengar. The last panel is gengar looks back where a speech bubble comes out of the crowd to say, “you could if you weren’t a fucking coward.” /end]
I can’t believe I’m actually seeing this post
Magic of tumblr,
I am morally obligated to add the YouTube video whenever this thread crosses my dash
I’ve seen this thread more than a few times. But this is the first time I’ve seen this video. So thank you for your service.
still not over the fact that pukicho is voiced be the same guy who plays DR sylvester ashling meaning that this is just them ranting about how he makes less money than a furry artist
having viral posts is all fun and games until you have clowns in your mentions being like “well, op, i bet you also didn’t know THIS” [haughtily explains something i absolutely would and do know] like add whatever to my posts that you think is informative just don’t direct it at ME! i know! i just didn’t include it in the post i made in 20 seconds because i didn’t think 30,000 of you would see it!
i love these tags. WHAT was your viral post i need to know so badly.
thank god anything at all useful is being torn down and made illegal so that the computer can just be a box you turn on to watch ads for fake phone games
If your only idea of what polyamory is like comes from abusive and patriarchal religious groups then I’m sorry to say you don’t know enough about the topic for your opinion to be worth anything.
Sure, John the Mormon who views women as incubators and rapes his wives and kids is terrible. Why should I be banned from marrying multiple people because of him, though?
None of the problems we have with John the Mormon are actually a result of him having multiple wives. They’re all things that are already bad or illegal independently, like child sexual abuse. They are also things that you can easily do polyamory without.
The argument here makes as much sense as banning all sex and relationships because abusive partners and rapists exist.
I don’t think Marisa the Liberal Bisexual who understands consent and doesn’t abuse kids is going to do polygamy the same way as John the Mormon.
the genocide of the palestinian people at the hands of the state of israel is not a one-year-old endeavor. it began with the nakba in 1948 and ideologically originated decades before that.
Friendly reminder to not punish yourself for creating.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by this?
I have a tendency to beat myself up whenever something I make doesn’t meet my expectations (which is always). The result is that finishing something = bad feelings: I am effectively punishing myself for having created something. The natural reaction to this punishment is an aversion to creation, meaning that my perfectionism is harming me, not only by causing me to despise what I do make and by impeding the creative process, but by attacking even my desire to create.
So I looked this up and there’s three things I think should be mentioned:
Yes, this is real.
They found this ecosystem in underground hydrothermal caves where the water was 75 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius) and when it says “volcanic fluids” it means that, or where the hot water in the caves comes up through cracks to mix with the colder water above, allowing minerals and nutrients from the volcanic caves to escape and dissolved oxygen from the open ocean to enter.
The robot that tested the hypothesis of life under the seafloor was called SuBastian.
i was the first girl to get shrunk so small that they blew a bubble around me and i wasnt even big enough to break the tension in the soap and i floated away into the sky until it popped 100 meters up and i fell for what felt like years due to my low terminal velocity and when i hit the ground i wasnt even hurt and i joined an ant colony. since then ofcourse there have been many others.
once I did an Americorps position & I won’t get into exact details but two months in my one other coworker & I were rly frustrated bc we weren’t doing anything in our job description or the contract we signed whatsoever & instead we were basically being used as extremely underpaid retail staff and slowly the ppl in charge of us were cornering us more and more into that until I was finally like okay….what the hell? I opened up the work contract I signed and realized I hadn’t done a single thing listed in my role so I sent a long (professionally worded) complaint email to Americorps and they called me an hour later in total outrage because it turned out the work we were being made to do was explicitly prohibited by the program and we were being 100% exploited for cheap labor and the very next day we got a new supervisor and spent the rest of our year doing what we signed up to do and it rocked.
Dont need an ID, just wanted to share these lovely fellows that I let crawl on me while I was walking around an apple orchard:) they were very polite and I made sure to handle them very carefully
The temptation, when adapting a really iconic detective, is to delve into his personal backstory. That’s the devil talking.
A proper detective should be like a force of nature; like an avenging angel conjured into existence in a puff of eccentricities to unravel the crime and right the wrong. Their backstory is irrelevant.
Awhile back I found this little dude outside. At first glance I thought it was a bumblebee, but up close I realized it was a botfly! As horrific as their lifecycle is, I think they’re pretty stupid cute. Just look at that face 🥺

(through gritted teeth) sometimes what’s good for your mental health isn’t another do nothing day or a little treat sometimes what’s good for you is putting in some of the work. Not all of it at once but sometimes you have to finish that essay or at least take the next step or you have to clean your room or at least dust the shelves or you gotta do the laundry or at least put it all in the hamper and it’s not fun and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks but you have to because i read a post on the internet that told me that’s what being nice to yourself is sometimes
you know when you really want to talk abt your OCs but don’t know what to say so you’re just holding them up like Simba with a bunch of exclamation points overhead?
