oh yeah i found out recently its diabetes awareness month so ummm. heres a reminder that type 2 diabetes is actually MORE determined by genetics than type 1 and if youve ever made a diabetes joke or talked about it like it’s just the stupid fat person disease you owe me $50. disabling lifelong diseases arent funny and they arent any indication of someone’s morals and also getting a disease is never anyone’s “fault”
“Oh boo hoo you shouldn’t ask your friends for favors we’re all adults”
I just spent three hours pulling up carpet and staples for a friend’s home renovation and we all did nothing but chat and joke and have wonderful conversation the whole time.
Helping somebody move or renovate or giving them a ride to the airport is functionally the same as going mini-golfing or playing a board game: it’s an activity that you do that is made more fun by having good company, and which provides something to talk about when the conversation lulls.
“Shared joy is double joy, but shared sorrow is half a sorrow.”
This!!! That is what friendship is. It’s community. A community comes together and shows up for each other.
Last year, I spent all day chiseling baseboards out of concrete walls and filling holes in said walls for someone who wasn’t even my friend, but my partner’s friend.
But she is part of our circle, of our little community. So we show up. She would do the same for us.
there are many true facts I cannot personally justify on the spot (in fact an infinite number of true facts about arithmetic alone if you trust the logicians!) yet somehow I must still get through each day on this earth as I am pushed and pulled this way and that by forces I can neither understand nor explain.
an interaction im very tired of in online autism spaces. aka when you don’t have a special interest / when your special interest isn’t [character] or [fandom]
Wow uh. I did not expect this to leave my mutual circle. Anyways here’s an overview of identifying columns. Use it to annoy your sister when watching anime by pointing out the types of columns in the background!
tumblr’s code may change but no notes ghost stays the same
Oh thank god
imagine the shit storm when tumblr finally becomes so dysfunctional that this post’s total notes is finally revealed
In case anyone’s curious about what happened to this post, it has to do with how we tally up notes. Likes and reblogs always add to the note count of the root post (the OP). However, the note count relies on the previous value of the root post before adding more notes to it.
Normally when you delete a post, it’s gone, but not gone gone. Just deleted from public never to be seen again. The database entry is still there, just inaccessible.
This post, however, the root post is just gone. Gone gone. Gone forever. Everything attached to it is still there, but since the root post is hard deleted, it’s got nothing to add to. When the note counter tries to add notes to nothing, it goes nowhere.
So it throws every new note into the void. Goodbye forever, notes.
I’m not sure if we’ll ever know the real number of notes on this post.
This is the standard winged nightjar and it has one singular stupidly big feather on each wing… if you even care.
Love this guy
That’s standard as in “pennant” or “banner”, not standard as in “normal”.
But it’s not a pennant-winged nightjar. THIS is a pennant-winged nightjar… if you even care.
can’t forget the Lyre-tailed Nightjar! there’s actually a number of these ridiculous guys, and they’re partly why caprimulgiforms are some of my favorite birds
also the Sickle-winged Nightjar, which is. come on, that’s just a weird moth

my liege if you keep having all of the guards come to your bedroom to read you bedtime stories, there will be no one to actually guard the castle during that time!
any intruders are welcome to join us for story time
my liege the enemies to lovers yaoi is affecting your perception of the danger of real enemies.

my brother was making fun of me and our other brother for having the same haircut, and we were immediately like “what the fuck are you talking about? you had this EXACT SAME haircut like a year ago. this is your haircut too. jackass.” so we start arguing back and forth until our mom stops us and says “come here.” and she brings out her ID from when she was a teenager and… its the same haircut.
imagine if doorways grew back like scabbed over with fresh drywall and you had to keep carving them back out with a jabsaw to keep the doorway clear etc
Imagine if the membranes recoiled in pain every time you did this. Imagine if over time, some doorways became accustomed sensation. Imagine that very rarely, some even seemed to enjoy it.
*sleepover host voice* imagine if you two went to sleep
Oh for gods sake kids it’s like piercing an ear - that’s why you put a doorframe in - you don’t hang a door in drywall, you gremlins. You frame the door. It’s like those gauges that people put in their ears - the hole stays. It won’t scab over with a doorframe in it. You’ve lived around doors you whole life, you little clowns. Lights out
That picture of Biden looking at a quantum computer and being unable to grasp the true form of what he’s seeing
To be fair that’s how I would I react too
I do sincerely love that Quantum Computers look exactly like what a 1950’s sci-fi movie prop artist would build if they were told to build something called a “quantum computer”
I know most of tumblr is thinking about the USA right now. but fuck the nz government right now too. tomorrow, the treaty principles bill, the ‘worst, most comprehensive breach of Te Tiriti in modern times’ is being introduced to parliament early, because there were activations planned country wide and the cowards decided to pull it forwards. fuck this government. a friend of mine had to go home early, crying. I’ve been in shock all day since it came out.
check on your Māori friends, e hoa mā. see what they need. see how you can help. everyday, we see and experience racism. from people around us, up to our government. community care will save us.
Are you an English speaker willing to volunteer a few minutes of your time to answer a few questions about Palestine?
Mahmoud @ma7moudgaza2 is a web developer based in Gaza. He is currently still studying, and you may have seen his fundraiser or his spotlighting for fellow Gazan fundraisers.
Mahmoud has taken up a project to publish a website aimed at foreigners who want to learn more about Palestine. He is currently in the information-gathering phase, where he is hoping to ask you all a few questions about how much information the average foreigner knows about Palestine, and what they would be personally interested in learning about. I’ve seen the first couple of pages, and the project looks lovely!
If you’re interested in lending a few minutes of your time to Mahmoud, please do get in contact with him!
It’s important, I’m currently working on a website to include all your questions about how Palestine looks like and what about it, so I need your help in that, tell me what you would like to know about Palestine to share on this site
i hate to be that guy, but the idea that gender, sex, and sexuality are ontologically pure concepts that can be rigidly defined if we simply police our language enough (our english language, because of course) is—i cannot stress this enough—a total waste of time. you may as well spend your afternoons teaching a brick how to swim
If you see a person claiming the correct term for us is “DSD”, take a closer look at why they might be saying that! Often, this person is a not a reputable source, and does not have our best interests in mind. This is a popular talking point among intersexist & anti-trans bigots.
Vitriol comes from the Latin vitrus, meaning glassy or glass like. Vitriol, also known as sulfuric acid, has a clear glasslike appearance, and is highly corrosive.
The emotion is named for the alchemical agent, not the other way around.
Some pissed off Byzantine alchemist: “Alright dude, you know what the fuck you’re acting like right now?”
