Toby if it where any other publisher I would have ran away

I feel horrible for fans who first experienced Deltarune any other way. Like there was a cryprtic tweet the night before, the twitter profile was all backed out. And then he sent out a link to a “Survey” and you downloaded a file from a random website called SURVEYPROGRAM and then opened it up and it asked you to make a character. And then the character got thrown away. And then it was Deltarune. And like. It was a fucking ride none of you will get to experience this

The British Government is taking the Scottish Government to court to cover the British Government’s expenses that they occurred when the Scottish Government had to take the British Government to court because the British Government, with no precedent, decided to block the Scottish Government from implementing Gender Recognition Act Reform to make a long bureaucratic process a tiny bit easier for trans people.

So we were like ?? “We’d protect it and keep it nice and clean and polished” and he was like “your body’s that box. Stop eating markers”

My 14 year old brother just took a drink of hot chocolate and hissed like he’d knocked back a shot of vodka then set it down and went “ah… that’s the good stuff.”

Just watched him lose a card game as badly as he could on purpose for the sole purpose of annoying the guy trying to run the game and when I was like what is wrong with you all he said was “that’s how we do it down in Vegas”

I told him that this has 2k notes and the people love him and he completely deadpan went “wow it’s everything I ever wanted” and then immediately accidentally set himself on fire in skyrim and died

Unpopular opinion but literally not one person in the world should have their human rights violated

If one person’s rights can be waved away, so can yours

yes, even those people.

Fuck it, adding on: This is why it’s frustrating to see criminal defense lawyers getting a bad rep.

The right to a fair trial is a human right. In practice, a fair trial necessitates a lawyer. This means that even if somebody committed the worst crimes you could possibly imagine, they still deserve a lawyer.

Somebody has to defend them as a matter of human rights. As one of my professors said, way back in my first semester at uni: “Everybody deserves to have somebody in their corner.”

nb the source of criminal defense attorneys getting a bad rep is always, always copaganda. same with the incredibly bullshit narrative of “if you didn’t do anything wrong then why do you need a lawyer?” the purpose of both these terrible stupid pro-cop arguments are to deny you your legal rights. 

Someone else said it very well here on this website:

A government whose people lose their rights once they become criminals has a very vested interest in making their critics criminals.

hi yeah i found out recently that the popular caramelldansen (you know. the one you know.) is actually a fucking nightcore remix and this is the original

forbidden knowledge

Caramelldansen is the ultimate relic of the past because it wasn’t just a meme song it was a Nightcore remix meme song that got even more popular than the original.

Even darker secret knowledge the original dance also isn’t that version either. Most can see the original dance in the background of a scene in Fast&Furious: Tokyo Drift.

It’s not Nightcore, it predates Nightcore. The term you are looking for is Speedycake. After the late* DJ Speedycake.

The dance used in the vast number of 2d anime-esque caramelldansen vids has nothing to do with Caramell; it came from a gif on 4chan referred to as “Popotan dance” that started as fanart of an adult visual novel because of course it did. Speedycake was making his remixes at the same time as people were making popotan dance gifs of everything, and the memes converged into a compound supermeme that swept the internet.

The video above is yet another fan-made video, using 12 characters from the iDOLM@STER series. (Hint: the band that created the song is Swedish, so anything obviously Japanese did not come from them).

The first official video released by Caramell was this version, six years after the song was first released and two years after it started to spread as a meme:

fucking terrifying how deep this rabbit hole goes

DJ SPEEDYCAKE IS FUCKING DEAD?!

According to his Twitter he’s just as surprised to learn he’s dead as we are

The Final Round!

Who should be Cat of the Year 2023?

Jellie (cat of Minecraft Youtuber Goodtimeswithscar)

The Nefarious Anglerfish

See Results

Justification

Jellie: She is a cute, attention seeking cat during scar’s videos and streams. She has been a character in Minecraft since 2018

The Nefarious Anglerfish: I like them :) [Super cool!!!!] One of the best memes of 2023

anyway, i think people in the notes should know that this is the poll runner and how she’s talking about jellie.

because yeah, i think this is highly relevant if you’re going to talk about beloved cat that’s recently passed.

wanted to fact check this (bc its way too easy to create a fake screenshot and dogpile) and apparently she meant the above post as a joke (admittedly a pretty bad one esp considering jellie has just passed away) and has been receiving a lot of hate. but i want to remind yall that tone is really hard to get across on the internet & if you send anon hate to anyone. stop. no exceptions. the block button is so much easier and kinder to both parties

btw if u don’t wanna be a girl u can just not be a girl. if u don’t wanna be a boy u can just not be a boy. likewise for being a woman or a man or any gender that has ever existed.

there’s no test you need to pass or license u need to hold to trans your gender - you can just decide one day that u feel like doing something different. if ur waiting for permission, i’m giving u permission. go be happy.

For my transition, the idea “I would be happier living my life as a man” was far more helpful to my journey than the question “am I truly a man in my very soul” or whatever. It doesn’t have to be that deep. Your body is yours. Do with it what you want. Be who you want to be. Less pressure on “who you were made to be” as if that is some kind of immutable force. If you think that way you’ll never stop questioning yourself.

I was so angry and frustrated at the world not taking me seriously, and the thousands and thousands of people reblogging showed me that I wasn’t alone. I wasn’t crazy and heteronormativity is all bullshit. Being queer is as natural as breathing air.

This is what a real, qualified OBGYN will tell you about what women feel when they get an abortion

Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because he’s honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.

That last statement about regret is so important, because so many people don’t understand what it is or what causes it. Anti-choicers exploit this by manipulating pregnant people and creating doubt, which only increases the likelihood of regret, no matter what decision the pregnant person makes. You know what is best for you, even if it takes some time to figure it out.

If you are a USAmerican…are you planning to vote in the presidential election in November?

Yes!

Maybe, not sure yet

No, I don’t care enough about politics to vote

No, my vote doesn’t matter

No, I can’t take time off of work/get to the polling place

No, I’m boycotting the election to protest and/or I hate all the candidates

No, I’m too young :(

No, I’m ineligible to vote for another reason than age

No, any other reason (comment why not)

I’m not a USAmerican but I wanna push a button

See Results

look, y'all. I’m speaking directly to that 2.3% of you.

Boycotting is for when your refusal to participate hurts the system/entity you are absent from. You boycott a company, a transit authority, etc.

That’s not how voting works. There WILL be an election whether you participate or not. The results WILL be counted in the usual way & considered valid whether you participate or not.

so participate.

Go to a protest immediately before and after you cast your vote. If you don’t have an election day protest near you, organize one. Call your elected representatives / the national party HQs every day of every week between now and the election to formally register your opinion on the candidates presented to you. THOSE are effective ways to protest the system. Better yet, get involved in your local municipality, where you can make change as a much bigger fish in a much smaller pond.

Not voting just means the people who believe differently from you will decide who governs, because they showed up.

One-third to half of the population won’t vote. Your “protest absence” will be completely indistinguishable from their apathy.

“But the electoral college-”

Yes. So organize around its revamping or elimination. Vote anyway. It’s meaningful that the popular vote has been so misaligned with the electoral college for so long. It’s gonna be hard to reform the system no matter what, but it will be fucking impossible if we don’t continue to show up and demonstrate the ways in which it’s broken.

Voting as harm reduction is much more effective and meaningful than not voting at all.
