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.
“Freaky Friday” was not in fact a real movie which existed BUT had recently entered production as a film because people kept referencing it any time body swapping came up so the movie industry was just like “well I guess we have to make that movie now” and there was already a niche internet fan-base for it.
what they don’t tell you is that a well-written fic can get you to ship anything, and i mean ANYTHING. notp? not anymore. you will stay up late thinking about and crying over them for the rest of your life. characters you don’t even know from a piece of media you’ve never engaged with? fuck it, they belong to you now. problematic ship that you loved to hate and now just love to love, that you must never tell your friends about? don’t worry, ao3 knows how to keep a secret. like. a well-written fic will have you acting UP and that’s a fact baby !!
love to follow veterinarian practices on facebook because every one in a while they’ll post a picture of something so bizarrely funny. this axolotl getting an x-ray just took me out
ive been getting a lot of people really worried for this axolotl so i thought i’d clarify: she’s fine. she’s moist on the puppy pad so she won’t dry out and the x ray only takes a few seconds. the x ray was because she had an internal gut blockage due to the wrong substrate being used. they took another x ray after giving her barium to determine where in the gut it was, but the barium lubricated her gut enough that she passed the blockage with no invasive surgery and she’s completely fine. here she is not-flattened
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.
Person who follows an ideology founded by John Locke and Adam Smith which developed first in Europe and in European settler colonies: marxism is all just dead white guys :/ it’s literally deadwhiteguyism :/ Mao, Sankara, Ho Chi Minh, Huey Newton were all just deadwhiteguyists :/ China is a deadwhiteguyist country
their entire hunting strategy is making their bodies into spears. basically they can extend their necks super fast at prey and stab them hard enough to the point they can have a hard time getting their prey off of their beaks by themselves
you can see here in this x ray that one vertebra in their necks is elongated right at the s-curve, and this is what makes them crazy efficient hunters. the elongated vertebra allows them to basically launch their heads at prey incredibly fast where they stab it with their sharp beaks. like any animal herons aren’t going to hesitate to defend themselves if they have do and it would probably suck to get stabbed by a bird. even bitterns can do a lot of damage like this, plus bitterns have a tendency to go for the eyes
also they can and will snatch gophers right out of the ground. they’ll eat pretty much anything they can fit down their throats (which is way bigger than you think. their esophaguses are very elastic)
i’m not saying you should be scared of a heron or anything but people dont realize how much damage they can do
if this guy wants, he can skewer you. remember this
fun fact there’s a pretty good body of work suggesting that azdarchid pterosaurs used essentially the same kind of predation model as herons
The pandemic measures basically been been about targeting an economically sustainable number of covid related deaths while characterising that pursuit as purely humanistic, managing to piss off underserved humanists and unsated free market fundamentalists in the same stroke
“nobody should have to die” and “everybody should have to die” factions clawing at each other and screaming
every gym leader is like “I lost!?! UNBELIEVABLE!” buddy you live in a world where every ten year old child has always been offered a free fire breathing monster at least once and you brought nothing to this fight but anthropomorphic flowers
gym leaders’ whole job is to provide a specific challenge, a battle of a certain type and difficulty level. if you’ve brought the tools and skills to complete that challenge, you’re going to win by design. the pokémon in that battle are probably not actually the strongest pokemon they have.
when gym leaders go “argh, how could i lose??” they’re acting to give your victory legitimacy because you’re 10. they’re like a villain cosplayer letting a baby knock them over. they’re being nice!!
I am 100% all for diverse skin tones and diverse body types in beauty campaigns n advertisements n shit. like YES AT ALL THE INCLUSITIVITY AND REPRESENTATION, I LIVE FOR IT. buuuUUUT in addition to that (hear me out ok), I’d also like to start seeing more breast types—not just perfect, round boobs. I wanna see huge boobs and small boobs, black boobs and brown boobs and white boobs and pale boobs and tan boobs, uneven boobs and even boobs, saggy boobs and perky boobs, d-cups and a-cups and everything in between and beyond, boobs (or singular boob) that had to be removed to save a life and boobs that are implants. I WANNA SEE MORE BREAST TYPES IN MAGAZINES N STUFF CAUSE IM TOO DAMN INSECURE ABOUT MY OWN
Damn feminism is shallow. Someone’s tits don’t make them more interesting. This is the same shit you guys accuse straight men of thinking.
never stated that they make you more interesting, I stated that I’m insecure about my size and would like to see more inclusitivity, something other women could benefit from as well (body positive and self love wise).
Also, no, it’s not the same thing. There’s a difference between ME doing or wanting something for MY body and SOMEONE ELSE doing or wanting something for MY body.
It was specifically stated it is for beauty campaigns. So specifying variety and diversity of body shapes is not shallow, it is actually being thorough. It is ok not to understand what somebody meant but being an asshole instead of asking what the person meant is not ok.
im screaming this is an aesthetisized screenshot of one of the worlds earliest email worms and caused over US$5B in damages
It is thought to have impacted nearly 10% of ALL internet connected computers via over 25 variations. The 5bn was in total damages, there was an additional estimated 10-15bn to remove the worm in the form of paid man hours.
“The VA received 7,000,000 ILOVEYOU emails during the outbreak”
“US army, having 2258 infected workstations, cost approximately US$79,200 to recover”
Something you should always remember about every single person you see on this site is that they are a tumblr user. They are the kind of person who uses tumblr
Highkey one of the funniest parts of Gravity Falls is how obnoxiously close they come to revealing Ford’s existence in the early seasons but never do out of just. Cosmic levels of dumb luck
Episode 1 Stan nearly catches Dipper with the journal and it’s passed off as a gag about Gold Chains for Old Men magazine. In Time Travellers Pig they go back to the Shack 30 years in the past and miss Ford opening the door on them by literal seconds. In bottomless pit Mabel gives him a set of truth teeth that make him incapable of lying and he tells the twins TO THEIR FACES that he regularly commits massive tax fraud and if they had asked him to elaborate he would’ve told them who he was impersonating. In one of the shorts Dipper and Soos find a sentient omniscient mailbox that will answer any question in the universe, and right before they can ask it who wrote the journals Mabel shows it a video of herself snorting gummy worms and it kills itself out of disgust. The entirety of Dreamscaperers is them delving into the depths of Stan’s psyche, going through his memories, all while fighting his brother’s ex-boyfriend and it somehow just. Doesn’t come up. Bill never mentions him. Their grandpa Shermie never said anything. Their parents never said anything. Either the universe was conspiring to cover it up or they are genuinely all that oblivious
Shoutout to @grimreapersprint for actually exploring/explaining each of these in our discord! Here are her findings:
Forest Synth - Legit
Dirtstep - technically yes, and it sounds exactly like what you would expect
Grassgaze - I found one song and it’s strangely ominous
Leprechrust - No, which honestly surprises me
Flowerviolence - real and sounds like crap
Shroom N’ Bass- This is just Hardbass with extra steps
Mushroom House - Legit
Moss Rock - sounds kind of like older bluegrass listened to from a distant cavern except extremely loud
Shiny Rock - Sounds like if you gave a Nirvana cover band a fistful of molly and shrooms
Garden Core - Sufjan Stevens on a near-lethal dose of Xanax
Cavern Core - Sounds like cookie monster started a garage band in an abandoned aircraft hanger
Treewave - The one song I found sounds like getting a severe concussion in the middle of a house track
Birdsong - gentle chirping backed by a hurdy-gurdy the size of a volkswagen beetle
Whistle Choir - Unable to disambiguate
Subterranean Folk - yes if you count underground folk, which absolutely sounds like gnome music
Dark Underground - this sounds what executive dysfunction feels like
Deep Underground - Hardbass with fewer steps OR chugging an entire bottle of cough syrup and then trying to pull off a jazz drum solo while someone plays a keytar in the background
Darkdeep - No
Earth Metal - Just because you CAN daisy-chain three distortion pedals together doesn’t mean that you SHOULD.
Star Metal - This is actually kind of a complicated subject and beyond the scope of this review
Rootbop - no, which is a shame
Meadowpunk - found one song about bitching about condos
Solarpunk - Noting the above exception, most “-punk” musics are different genres with songs about/atmospherically designed to fit the aesthetic of what is more of a social/visual aesthetic
Moonpunk - See above, but if it existed it would sound like rockabilly
Hill N’ Roll - No
Stump Stomp -No, which is kind of a shame, really
Woodwind - literally a category of instruments
I really want a playlist populated by all this
Ask and you shall receive, sorted by order of appearance in post
I know this is meant to be funny but it actually makes such a good point about how ADHD and executive dysfunction can impact people in really major ways, including financially
