Me: Oh, god, what if they think I’m cringe for making content about their OC? I should ask first. I shouldn’t assume they want art or fics for their OC. What if they hate it? What if they make fun of me?
Me getting art or writing about my ocs: I will print this out and eat it so it becomes a part of me.
Prosecutors argued that Mangione was carrying about $10,000 in cash and that his bag was a Faraday bag that blocks cellphone signals—all proof that he was a sophisticated criminal who should be held without bail.
“‘I’d like to correct two things,’” Mangione said after the prosecutor finished speaking, according to CNN’s Danny Freeman, “‘I don’t know where any of that money came from—I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication.’”
this is what i’ve been trying to say. yes the memes are funny, but leaps and bounds more important than that is Luigi Mangione first and foremost is in danger.
while he is innocent until proven guilty in the court of law, far too many people have jumped on the idea of him being the shooter because it’s funny. however. there are a few key things i personally need to point out.
the NYPD fucking sucks. no bones about it. they are a legitimately bad police force. they are deeply corrupt and losing public value.
they allegedly found him with the gun and a full manifesto on his person just sitting in a mcdonalds. why in sweet fuck would anybody able to pull off that kind of murder and then evade the police for days just be carrying that around with him??
just. think critically for 30 seconds about any and all media surrounding this case that you read, and especially remember that the public opinion, while it isn’t necessarily supposed to be, is influential in court cases.
In a 1996 by-election, one of the candidates for Australia’s parliament changed his name to Steve Grim-Reaper so he wouldn’t get mixed up with other candidates
Affini might not be real but florets sure are. You just have to find a suitably traumatized queer person and give them affection and they will literally beg you to put them on a leash
the only way to tell if a man is truly gentle is if he has green moss and algae all over him from sleeping quietly, motionlessly, at the bottom of a crystal clear riverbed
it’s okay to be neurodivergent as long as you never show symptoms. and gods fucking forbid you describe it as “showing symptoms” because that’s pathologizing
i mean, i wouldnt say its “closest to me” because it is a new love i discovered in adulthood, the desert that has been with me the longest is plain vanilla ice cream
The person who ran next to your car when you were a child.
Shoutout to those that never imagined this guy and get really confused when they see everyone agree that they saw them as a kid. My favorite collective hallucination.
Can’t believe this was one of my first posts on tumblr and still my most popular by far! It’s very funny because it was a very sloppy edit I kinda just slapped together in one evening, never thinking it would have any sort of legacy
“The trick shot by Laura was actually made in one take. They had planned for a pool expert to make the shot after cutting away from showing Laura hitting the cue ball. But to everyone’s surprise, she actually made the shot. Both Mary Tyler Moore and Dick Van Dyke stayed in character and finished the take, thus the genuine look of surprise on their faces.”
In the second gif, she’s holding for applause before saying her line.
WRONG! He is a suspect and we should treat him as such. He should be treated as innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent. He’s a person of interest not the killer. I don’t care what the media or authorities are saying, he’s a human being who deserves a fair trial and deserves to be treated as innocent until proven otherwise.

the wicked movie teaches important moral lessons like “be bisexual in college” and “don’t trust politicians” and “if you push someone who’s in a wheelchair without their permission, someone might throw a bench at your head with their mind”
NYT has been discouraging reporters from sharing photos of luigi mangione - not due to concerns for his safety but to dissuade sympathy - and refuses to post his alleged manifesto in full. and today, they published an opinion by bret stephens about how brian thompson is the “real working class hero” of this story.
reddit deleted luigi’s account, which was completely innocuous and consisted mostly of him giving out advice in health subreddits. they’re also deleting any post that includes his alleged manifesto and banning users for sharing it.
luigi yelled that this was “an insult to the intelligence of the american people” while he was being dragged by police and news pundits are framing it as a deranged and violent outburst. news media are picking apart details of his life to paint him as a cold-blooded and mentally ill individual. even something as innocent as playing “among us” with friends is being framed as some insidious look into an assassin’s disturbed psyche, ffs.
news media are also capitalizing on luigi’s supposed “bizarre and impossible to understand” politics as an obvious way to paint him as a scary individual when the guy is… a centrist, at most. whose views are similar to those of your average college-educated white guy.
multiple news media also keep harping on about how luigi comes from a rich family. an obvious attempt to break the class solidarity that’s been formed around this case by continuously trying to tell us “oh he’s not like you guys” while ignoring the now pretty well-documented accounts of his multiple health struggles throughout the years.
and all this, and he hasn’t even been found guilty of the crime he’s allegedly committed. luigi is, as of right now, still innocent until proven guilty. and the news are trying to tear him apart because they obviously fear the symbol he’s becoming for low and middle class america.

I hate how 3 pm is so close to 2 pm so there’s an illusion that there’s still time left in the day to do things but in reality 3 pm is also close to 4 pm and if it’s close to 4 pm you might as well just wait till tomorrow. <- can’t argue against this by the way.
in real life you will probably not respond to harassment in a sexy, clever, scripted way where you come out with the upper hand and everyone claps. you will freeze up and your moment will pass, or your voice will shake when you tell them to stop and you’ll realize two minutes later that you’re gross and sweaty and sticky from the adrenaline. maybe you’ll be on the ball and answer in a way you actually think is pretty smart and get ignored, or they’ll get more aggressive when you mouth off to them. you almost never will walk away feeling victorious. you walk away feeling uncomfortable and relieved that it’s over. you’ll think about it later and imagine that maybe you could have said something else. maybe you’ll feel ashamed that you weren’t quicker-witted, weren’t able to cut them down to size, weren’t able to avoid that lingering sick feeling in the pit of your stomach, as though there’s some kind of magical words you could have said that would have left you feeling less powerless. there really aren’t.
Honestly this is such an important lesson to learn. If someone threatens, belittles, or verbally assaults you, you will likely feel bad, no matter how you respond. Please don’t beat yourself up for feeling emotions that are perfectly healthy and justified.
Hey by the way next time that some normal person is murdered and the cops “aren’t able to find out who did it” remember that they’ve spent over a week and unfathomable resources relentlessly conducting a nation-wide search for someone who murdered a CEO, and it APPEARS that they’ve got him (IF it’s even him) — so next time they tell you that they Just Don’t Know Who Killed That Civilian And They Can’t Find Out, And Don’t Have The Resources To Try Harder, know that it’s total and absolute bullshit. It’s just that a regular civilian is less important than a CEO. Finding the guy who murdered a vicious parasite is more important in maintaining the status quo than finding someone who murdered your loved one, or that person you know, or the guy who runs the corner store, or the stranger who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Excuse the state of my microwave but here’s my $30, 20-year-old microwave from college (which still works fine!)
I use 5 of these buttons. 10sec, +1min/start, pause/cancel, and then RARELY, popcorn or defrost and honestly if I had neither it would be fine. I could cook popcorn with my air popper or just cook it by listening to the popping interval if it was a bag, and I usually thaw stuff in the sink or fridge. I could see leaving power level on there for fussy people, but I can’t recall a time I’ve ever used it for any reason. The rest are definitely superfluous.
Wtf time is 2:68
I appreciate the defrost/power level bc it makes it easy to soften butter/warms precooked sandwiches better and more evenly.
I like my devices as stupid as possible. This thing is made to heat up food, it doesn’t need to be able to tell what time it is. It should have zero insights into anything outside of its shelf. It cannot communicate with any other device to learn more. My microwave is in the garden of eden and it has no idea where the apple tree is. Let it think the time is 2:68.
Game which initially appears to be a conventional RPG with an unusually extensive tutorial chapter, complete with a helpful tutorial fairy who provides encouragement and explanatory tips and resets you to the nearest checkpoint each time you die. However, the things that kill you become progressively more unfair and unlikely with each reset, and the fairy’s explanations increasingly flimsy, until it’s revealed that the fairy has been teaching you the game’s mechanics incorrectly on purpose in order to trick you into killing yourself. The game then transitions into a time-loop horror scenario where your objective is to figure out how the game’s mechanics really work and complete the tutorial properly, thereby passing beyond the tutorial fairy’s grasp.
The most fucked up thing to realise as a transfem with an eating disorder is that they would like me more if I was skinny.
If I was slim I’d have more friends. If I was skinny I’d have bigger outreach. If I was skinny I’d be listened to.
And yet people wonder why EDs and dissociation is so common with transfems. Change ourselves or disconnect from ourselves enough to not notice the lack
Hey! If you take ages to eat in the day. If you have to work yourself up for every meal, with nicotine, thc, caffeine or the sheer high of hunger this post is for you.
This post is for you if you find yourself counting calories.
This post is for you if your safe foods are all “unhealthy”
This post is for you if your ritualism prevents regular eating
This post is for you if you dissociate to TV every time you take a meal because it simply can’t be experienced alone
This post is for you when you see all the popular transfems are slim.
This post is for you when you notice their fatphobic pattern of posting
This post is for you when you’ve been ghosted the moment you showed your fat
This post is always for you. Misogyny will always be weaponised and internalised to a more intense degree within transfeminine spaces.
Engage with fat and chubby transfems. Check in on your friends, ask them to eat. Be there for them if they do or do not. Decolonise and rid your mind of patriarchal standards. Transfeminism can set you free. Let it.
