If I had a time machine I’d get in right before QAnon and introduce the American right wing to the concept of an ARG. I’m pretty sure that’s what those guys wanted. A good ARG and maybe a local larp group could’ve saved so many of them. Instead they got caught up in something where they thought that the only way to get emotional fulfilment and catharsis indulging their little conspiracy brains was to believe it was actually real.
If you look at early QAnon stuff it is so so clearly a bunch of people desperate for an ARG but they weren’t provided an alternate reality and had to dump all their bullshit into this one.
You should draw them absolutely seething at each other, but secretly wanting to make out, or do the exact opposite and have them be super flirtatious (in their own way) and really wanting to give the other.
mormons undoubtedly in the top 5 worst things the united states has ever invented which is really saying something
sorry that sometimes when I stay up too late I start posting abt how much I hate mormonism but the spirit just moves me to do it
like the mormon church is just such a perfect microcosm of everything wrong with christianity as it’s practiced among the american right wing. everything abt it is so disgusting. one of the most utterly repulsive spectacles of racism, misogyny, and bigotry to ever leave a stain on the earth
Bringing this back because there’s been a bit of a push from Mormon influencers to normalize Mormonism, and as an exmormon I’m here to say fuck that
Do not allow the LDS Church to rebrand itself as some kind of harmless quirky church that just has a few silly rules. It’s a fucking cult that brainwashes its members and actively harms marginalized people. Mormonism deserves every ounce of hate it receives and then some

Next round of Narinders and Lambs! We got mostly more requests and also some more of my favorite designs! We got another really interesting batch and i love how different they all are! As always if any of these designs stick out to you check out the dersigners blog to see their aus etc!
“oh haha is that a dog cage?” getting down on all fours “that’s so cool lol. hm? oh don’t mind me, I just dropped my phone.” crawling inside “i’m sure it’s in here somewhere.” slowly turning in circles and laying down “where is it? gosh i need to think on this for a bit.” falling asleep “you can close that door btw.”
Me who had an elaborate plan to get you to go into the dog cage: 😐
Forcing someone to become your puppy used to be an art, y'know? Now all it takes is a single headpat and they’re sleeping in the bed under your desk already
See this is what I’m talking about. Do y'all have any idea how easy it was to get prev to act like a puppy?
my friend loves to ask people this question but he and i have differing opinions so i would love to get yours! would you rather have a dog made of pee or have a dog pee on you?
What we’ve gotta understand is that “the modern Internet is abolishing spaces for adults” and “the modern Internet is abolishing space for children” are compatible phenomena. Neither group is being favoured: the modern Internet is abolishing spaces for adults (i.e., because grown-up topics aren’t advertiser friendly) and the modern Internet is abolishing spaces for children (i.e., because online communities which consist principally of people who have no money are hard to sell things to). The Internet that contemporary corporate interests are trying to build isn’t a space for anyone – it’s the digital equivalent of an Ikea showroom.
Like, when I say that the greater part of contemporary social media is fundamentally hostile to human life, I’m not indulging in hyperbole or constructing an ironic metaphor. I mean that 100% literally.
I cannot believe there’s absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.
Exactly! It’s freaking annoying when I want to watch movies but I would have to subscribe to like 24 different services . Just to watch the shows that I like.
Oh and wouldn’t it be nice for cartoons? Just anything animated. I just wanna stream things without getting conned. Must I be cartoonless forever?
i like using streaming apps but there are waaaay too many and they’re all stealing my data.iwish there was a secure and organized way to have millions of shows and movies available one one app. but alas. we’ve truly gone full circle back to cable + now it spies on you. its a real shame. i dont want to fill my device storage with tons of boring and stupid cash grabs.
i know, it’s so annoying for everything to be paid nowadays, especially movies and tv shows. it would be perfect if i could watch them without getting infected by some virus or some shit. i’m fine with ads, they gotta run themselves somehow, but i want to watch stuff and .live! if they have to use different domains i’m okay with that too, because free media is .top dog either way.
for mobile users, it especially sucks, because you can’t just use websites and you have to not only pay, but you have to download a billion apps just to find what the thing you wanna watch is on. it doesn’t help that the streaming services take up...so much space. so much.
Bsky post by libro.fm: Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.
Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all…mega-retailers do not.

Ever needed to hear about mad dad birds with enormous feet? Try THESE on for size:
What’s that you say? These are clearly the feet of a dinosaur, not a bird? WHY NOT BOTH?
This is Australia’s very own dinosaur, the second-largest bird in the world, the emu. Say hi!
They roam around Australia making ‘wonk-wonk’ noises under their breath and glaring at everything. And the dads take care of the babies! They sit on the eggs…
They look after the tiny stripey adorable things….
They look after the less tiny less adorable things…
And they even look after the great big menacing things that are almost as big as they are.
But here’s the catch. All emus look pretty much alike. Especially when you are a tiny stripey adorable thing. All you can see of your dad is is great big dinosaur feet (see picture #1). So there is one very unrealistic thing about all the adorable terrifying dinosaur family photos above:
I have never seen an emu family in the wild where all the babies are the same size.
Here is the reason!
Emu dad and his emu babies are roaming about wonking and glaring at everyone. Suddenly emu dad sees another emu dad! A threat!
Emu dads do some display threats with dancing and bouncing and fluffing and… look, it’s very serious business, okay?
If this does not work to see off one emu they might progress to actual fighting.
Oops, sorry, you wanted the dignified version. Here, have some ART:
MAGNIFICENT.
Either way, this encounter will end up with one or both adult emus zooming away as fast as he can run. This is very fast.
This is the other thing they do besides wonking and glaring, by the way. They run. Fear the running emu.
Anyway, this leaves all the tiny and medium-sized and semi-large stripey things milling around making confused tiny “cheep? wonk?” noises and basically just following whichever pair of large feet they can find.
HI DAD
And so mostly when you see a male emu with a gaggle of youngsters at heel, they are all different sizes. Who knows whose they are? Not him! But he’s going to look after them anyway.
This isn’t even the most like birds a plant can look! This green birdflower grows in Australia and appears to make hummingbirds except, wait, there’s no hummingbirds in Australia. So what is this plant doing.
Look at this Duck Orchid! Caleana major is found in South Eastern Australia. Look at this thing! It’s a duck!
i could never be hannibal lecter because i hate lying theyd be like and whats for dinner hannibal and id be like it’s beef SORRRYYYYY its actually a guy who i killed and cooked up 😬 are you mad at meee and theyd say no hannibal you told the truth and thats what matters and then we’d all hug
This site is a special flavor of deranged
yeah lol this is an insane to post who would even fucking post this
if anyone is ever trying convince you that an entire class of people is universally unsafe and you shouldn’t interact with them “for your own safety” or that you should only interact with others in your class because that’s the only way you’ll stay safe they’re projecting past trauma or lying. Everyone is capable of harm. No one is obliged to it. We can be sympathetic to those who have been hurt without reducing people to immutable traits that prevent us from empathizing with each other.
