I’ll be honest if I get to meet god I’m not going to ask about the secrets of the universe, I’m going to be selfish and ask him how to poop quicker.
Yeah like I’m sorry gang, when I get the genie’s lamp I’m not going think to have Elon musk’s head blown up, I’m asking about how to caramelise onions instantly.
Can I just say this weird social media push of “girl cat boy cat” pisses me off there was this girl i overheard who was petting a cat who was showing her a lot of love and talking about adopting her but when she found out she was a girl cat she was like “I don’t like girl cats” like what the fuck are we doing misogyny against cats now
werewolf who absolutely refuses to let you touch him because he’s scared of hurting you and then when you finally manage to pet him he makes this face and his tail starts wagging so hard you expect it to fly off
with musk and trump gunning for social security, now seems like a good time to remind everyone that social security isn’t like government charity or something. it’s fully paid for. always has been. corporate media loves to parrot the conservative lie that social security is running out of money without ever mentioning why: congress stole the money. they literally robbed from peter to pay paul.
the whole idea of social security was always that you pay into it your whole life, and then when you retire the government gives you that money back. it’s your money. always has been. like sure technically the money being paid by working age people now is going to the people who are retired now. but social security was started in the 30’s, the people who are collecting benefits now paid into it their whole lives. the idea was to be a retirement savings account that the government keeps safe for you because it’s almost impossible for working class people to save for retirement under capitalism.
the problem is that congress looked at all that money just sitting there and decided to use it as a slush fund. and never paid it back. because it’s easier to steal that money than it is to raise taxes for new spending. so yeah, it’s a problem now that there are more old people retiring than there are young people working, but only because congress stole the money it was supposed to be saving for the people now retiring. all those savings could have actually earned money for the people who can’t pay in due to disability etc by being used as a massive investment fund. instead it’s the classic austerity misdirection: sabotage a useful functional government program, then claim that it doesn’t work and is too expensive. and the media never talks about it.
This reminds me of the time that a Hungarian doctor called Ignaz Semmelweiss noticed that the bulk of patients in a maternity ward treated by doctors were dying horribly, while the ones treated by nurses were more likely to survive.
He figured out that this was because the doctors were dissecting corpses inbetween delivering babies, while the nurses weren’t, and came up with his controversial “hey, why don’t we all wash our filthy, filthy hands before sticking them in a woman?” theory.
The result, short term, was that the mortality rate on this one maternity ward decreased by a ridiculous amount. They went from “write your will before you come here, because you’re probably gonna die” to “we’re not 100% sure, but you’ll probably live”.
The result, long term, was that Semmelweiss was hated by absolutely everybody, lost his reputation and had his career suffer terribly.
His eventual reward was that eventually people finally started sashimg their hands with soap before operations, history remembers him as a misunderstood hero, and the instinctive angry and defensive reaction so many people give whenconfronted with new ideas that conflict with their established view of the world is now called ‘the Semmelweiss reflex’.
Because some people care more about themselves not being wrong than they do about things in general being right.

Yeah sorry I actually can’t listen to Billie Eilish or Taylor Swift. Yeah no I have audio processing issues so I can’t understand it when white women sing pop music. Their accents are just so hard to understand, you know? I can’t handle the sound of vocal frying, either. Hurts my ears. It’s actually super ableist that you expect me to listen to them :/
apparently it does not go without saying, but if you’re in high school and you’re writing a college essay and have to talk about a big challenge you overcame, never ever and i repeat NEVER talk about your mental health. don’t do it. it doesn’t matter if you’re stable and healthy now, do not talk about it. just don’t. ok this has been a PSA.
uh query why not
there are very few cases where a student can pull this off without sounding like a liability to the university. the admissions office is not your friend. they may be progressive on paper, but 1000% they will avoid recruiting students who may “present problems” later on down the line. nobody wants to have it on paper that they admitted someone with mental health concerns and then later have to fight a lawsuit where something happened to the student in the dorms.
my #1 rule on this for college essay writing is you can talk about mental health only in the context of another tangible life event. your mother had cancer, this is how it affected you, this is how you dealt with it. you had a shitty childhood, this is how you survived, and you’re out of that situation now. do not talk about medications you took / are taking. do NOT talk about self harm. if you go anywhere near these subjects, you need to have an absolutely unimpeachable writing style and way of contextualizing it that firmly establishes that you are far beyond that point and will not go back.
you are sending your essay into a black box where you do not know the personal politics of the people at the admissions table. mental health stigma is very very real. you can make a point of challenging it once you get into the university, but do not stake your admissions on it! don’t risk losing out on that opportunity to make a point. there are ways to write around it. you can communicate the same depth of meaning without disclosing absolutely everything.

I’m sure someones already said this but I often see Tumblr described as a hellsite. This is fundamentally incorrect.
Tumblr is the faesite. Everybody is super confused and lost, you keep running into random places. Somehow you end up stuck there forever after interacting a couple of times. The people are all strange, everybody simultaneously seems to be from the future and the past as if time is meaningless.
YES
also technology breaks at random, and sometimes you just suddenly feel a thousand years old
everybody has a half dozen names and none of them are their “real” name.
which name(s) you know gives you different powers over them.
there are Rules but you mostly have to figure them out for yourself.
getting the Rules wrong or breaking them can cost you more than you ever even knew you had.
Maximum Horny at all times
be careful what you wish for or you just might get it

Context: During the Anura era, lamb had placed all their focus on killing heket and gathering as much devotion as possible. Which led to ignoring the cult’s needs other than keeping them alive (at the bare minimum). This created tensions, frustration, rejecting the lamb’s word. Results in a number of dissenters planning to take them out. No matter how it is done. It was completely unexpected to them (the lamb was going to rest before they showed up).
This devastated the lamb bc at this moment, they loved their flock and saw them as family. And they have had a bad experience with families. So when they come back to life, they immediately resurrect those who attacked them and punish them accordingly. Maybe excessive but they’re running on extra god power, courtesy of toww, and past trauma.
Their actual size and shape if I wasn’t drawing them as stickmen, cause it’s faster and easier for comics and I don’t like suffering. The whole reason I’m drawing so much for this fandom is that silly sketchy chibi furries are easy for me. Morgan is a short king. He’s even shorter than my OC Luke everyone makes fun of.
I have fully rendered versions of those that I’ve been working on and off for two weeks, but I haven’t finished the clothes and shit… Cause I drew them tits out as I always do. My default “draw a character” is underwear, then add clothes- which makes sense for a full character sheet with details but jfc it takes time for nothing. Well not for nothing, let’s be honest I like drawing titties…
it’d be really cool if everyone put their money where their mouths are and went and saw the new fully 2d animated looney tunes movie that’s in theaters RIGHT NOW instead of continuing to scream about the snow white and lilo and stitch remakes
also, if anyone is possibly concerned about patronizing the film because it would just go into Zaslav’s pockets (who wanted to write off the film and had it sold off to an independent distributor with hardly any marketing budget or prominence), the people who worked on the film themselves are saying that’s not true and encouraging you to go see the film. please do so!

Nobody owns ace and aro spectrum labels, there is no authority who decides who can use them or not. The only person who gets to decide if a label is right for you or not is you.
we always talk about how much damage radfems are doing to the transmasc community but we always forget how terrible the damage to the transfemme community is. the damage radfeminism as an ideology has caused to transfemmes is irreparable. “all men are predators and evil!! they’re all rapists!!” has caused the world to hate us for existing. i don’t care if it wasn’t originally intended to target transfemmes, bio-essentialism was bound to hurt the movement built to escape it.
overheard these two guys talking and they’re like. very obviously cowboys and one of them goes “man when I was young I used to think everyone had horses I didn’t even know there were ppl w/o horses” and the other one goes “shows how horseified we are”
You're only human in taur office, your job seams awefully light? Throught the day you get almost no tasks, you just sit back and get observed with your little tiny human desk by your bigger coworkers, before you notice you became office attraction, no tasks whatsoever, taurs bring you snacks and play with you during their breaks
i love how whenever something gets popular the underground tormented avant garde bloggers start becoming self conscious of liking it/finding it funny, and it eventually evolves into aggression towards it. doesnt matter what it is. unrelated but i saw someone call isopods cringe today
