it’s always funny to me to imagine cards that draw/interact with other cards in the context of those other cards. like on its own this card is really flavorful and cute but then you think about it and its like, imagine your cat comes home with something in its mouth and drops it in front of you and its one of the eldrazi titans or a phyrexian praetor
What’s this? The limp, barely-conscious body of Jin-Gitaxias?
It’s the home stretch for supporting Science Education
Oh hi. It’s me again, the squid biologist on a mission to make it easier for people to connect with science. I run a small nonprofit called Skype a Scientist! We match scientists with classrooms, scout troops, robotics clubs, libraries, and more for virtual Q&As about science. We serve 4000-5000 classrooms every year! We offer this FOR FREE. We also run the tumblr-coded Squid Facts Hotline.
To support our program in 2025, we’re selling FROG FACTS advent calendars. Every day you can scratch-off the sparkles to reveal facts about frogs! Please buy one! They’re cute and fun and help me give science education away for free.

Women are getting rid of their Trump supporting partners while they still legally can since they clearly don’t give a shit about them or any other woman.
If you’re thinking about getting a divorce, you should do it while you still can.
the problem with ‘let people do what they want’ is that fandom spaces will churn out the same bigoted content into perpetuity
there’s always going to be the same racism, the same misogyny, and ableism, and homophobia that ultimately creates the exact same tired fanon over and over again. for every piece of media with a following.
fun thing about discussing misogyny in media and in fancom on tumblr is, if you ever say “hey what about a show about women? what if we focused on women? what if this character was a woman?” you will get some guy who apparently has a first grade understanding of feminism jump in and tell you “i would focus on MEN because im a GAY TRANS MAN and i love MEN” like congrats buddy enjoy The Society We All Have To Live In, it is catered to people who want to center men and manhood
like. listen. i do get it. the enthusiasm for finally being able to embrace what makes you happy and to assert your identity. but please realize that bringing it up in this specific circumstance makes you look like an idiot at best and a bigoted asshole with zero respect for women at worst.
This is all one take?? And they have MULTIPLE people as Robin Hood so that they can “cut” between them by spinning the camera??? Wow. That’s so complicated but super clever
As a member of the local SCA, two quilt guilds, and a 3D Physical Arts group… The lovely person in the video will be raising their own alpacas by 2032.
I miss Skeleton War posts so much. They’d usually start popping up around this time. People would be celebrating, even cracking jokes or participating. What happened to our dear Skeleton War brethren? Have they found peace? Or are we doomed to have weak bones?
the amongus crewmate really was a gift to humanity. the world had enough crudely drawn dicks on bathroom stall doors we needed another shape to instantly strike annoyance and discomfort in the viewer
ok, so upon further inspection and words with a local lawyer thing. We have found out that we’re under 100 dollars away from having enough to start the family unification!
Of course until the process is complete(which is gonna take a while) we’ll still need more money to run on for food and such.
But still, 100 dollars away.
If anyone can help us cross this threshold, please do. Be it via spreading the word or donating.
no, spotify, i don’t want to use ai to “turn my ideas into playlists”. i already fucking do that with my brain and hands and i do it for fun. what, should i get ai to pet my cat for me? to play my silly games for me? to spend time with my beautiful wife for me? how about i rend you asunder
i fucking hate it when a movie or a tv show does some shit where a character has a shitty dad and another character tells them to forgive him because. “it’s your dad”. that means nothing. more people should be killing their fathers.
i will never be against piracy ever but i also need physical media to remain
the average blockbuster carried about 3x as many films than that that are streaming on Netflix or any other streaming service, physical media along with piracy is more important than ever.
I thought this wasn’t true, because how could it be true? How could one small store have more movies than an online database? So I googled it.
I am surprised and depressed to learn it’s 100% true, according to google. A Blockbuster store was required to have a minimum of 7000 titles, but most averaged about 10,000. Netflix has 4000 movies. (And 1800 tv shows if you want to count those, but even included, it’s still less)
Now I’m even more depressed about the collapse of physical rental stores.
BONUS: They weren’t beholden to Who Owns What IP Right Now. They got videos from everyone. You didn’t have to pay separately for the rights to rent from the Disney Shelves and the WB Shelves and bler bler bler, and they only STOPPED having those movies when the tapes broke or someone never returned ‘em.
friendly reminder that your local library will have lots of physical media and if they don’t have what you’re looking for you can most likely ask them to purchase it or order it from another library through interlibrary loan
Shoutout to Scarecrow Video- they have over 148,000 titles, most of which you can rent by mail. Rentals have been down in the last few years so they’re asking for support!
