i find it funny how like 1 in 10 posts on my dash is a gofundme for a person who is trying to not fucking die but they never get the money they need because the people who have that money only care about stupid fucking CRABS
tumblr isn’t your fucking friend. they won’t take your money as a sign of protest or whatever the fuck. they’ll take it as a sign that implementing user hostile features and failing to properly moderate their website will make them profit. hell, they’re most likely gonna double down on that shit
Once again telling fic authors that the writers villianizing a character of color or writing them as a racist stereotype is not an excuse to write them as such in their fics lol
love when a dynamic is like. this would be deeply toxic for anyone else but considering the people involved this is actually far and away the healthiest option
So Universal Pictures may have just intentionally over-pruned all of the city owned trees in front of their LA corporate office in an effort to fuck with the WGA/SAG-AFTRA picketers during what is predicted to be the hottest week of the year so far:
i don’t know if i can do this blue sky app anymore
Dril, on twitter a couple of months ago, said that he would block every single user with a blue checkmark. people on bluesky, a website that is not twitter, have said that this is bad because content creators and sex workers sometimes buy blue checks on twitter to advertise their content. that’s literally the entire thing leading up to these posts
so just because i ahve a rare and incurable condition where i can only understand human suffering thru the lens of showtunes and cartoons aimed at preteens means my posts about labor disputes aren’t insightful? tch [turns on my heel and like five pins fall off my little backpack with nothing inside except the leather journal i’m writing my fantasy novel in] [turns back around immediately] so yeah it’s sort of a chaotic found family story and it’s like really wholesome but feral AF and there’s a lot of queer representation
the rule34 sites are like. such a unique landscape. they have to be the sites that have the most users so out of touch with their core concept. “if it exists theres porn of it”. a simple premise, no? tell that to the people who act like they need their eyes bleached when they see a video of masterchief and doom guy, 2 conventionally attractive men, fuck eachother.
I remember someone saying “mad scientists in fiction aren’t scientists because there’s never a control group”
I think if you’ve created an elixir that turns people into goat men you have sort have gone past the need for a control group. The control group is not going to placebo themselves into goat men. You can probably not run the control group, and safely assume that none of them would have turned into goat men. That said, having a control group for that would make the mad scientist seem extra crazy and be really really funny, especially if he was carefully testing them for goat like features from the dyed water they drank instead of the elixir

#the real question is why arent any of them running it double blind #what if those guys are just turning into goatmen bc they know the mad scientists reeeeaaaaallly want them to
#it’s also a question of sample size #if you turn one person into a goatman you might THINK you have an elixir that turns someone into a goatman #but make that a 75 person trial and suddenly you realize it’s an elixir that turns you into your ideal body #and that one person was just a guy with a fursona and a dream
“Think of the two major possibilities here: Either the studios owe untold millions to their talents and paying it out will decimate their stock prices, or they owe so little because there really is no money in streaming and the bubble of their entire 21st century business model will burst in spectacular fashion. And make no mistake: this is a bubble. This is the inevitable climax of a stockholder-driven hunger for infinite growth, despite the fact that, by design, such a thing cannot and should not exist. The infection of Wall Street has overwhelmed the entertainment industry beyond repair, leading to cultural vandals like David Zaslav to be appointed with the callous duty of strip-mining decades’ of artistic beauty for pennies of tax write-offs. The past and future are frivolous in comparison to the short-term demands that the line keep going up.”
“The first note known to have sounded on earth was an E natural. It was produced some 165 million years ago by a katydid (a kind of cricket) rubbing its wings together, a fact deduced by scientists from the remains of one of these insects, preserved in amber. Consider, too, the love life of the mosquito. When a male mosquito wishes to attract a mate, his wings buzz at a frequency of 600Hz, which is the equivalent of D natural. The normal pitch of the female’s wings is 400Hz, or G natural. Just prior to sex, however, male and female harmonise at 1200Hz, which is, as Michael Spitzer notes in his extraordinary new book, The Musical Human, ‘an ecstatic octave above the male’s D’. ‘Everything we sing’, Spitzer adds, ‘is just a footnote to that.’”
sorry that they’re all amazon links, but you can take the idea of the product and go elsewhere if you prefer
instant cold packs - apply these to the back of your neck, your forehead, and your wrists to cool down quickly
insulated water bottle - get what you like as far as looks go. shoot for at least a liter (33.8oz) capacity. fill this up with ice water.
electrolyte powder - you can get any brand you like. gatorade, propel, powerade, and similar are going to have fewer electrolytes than pedialyte, liquidiv, lmnt, and similar, but some is better than none. if you can’t afford the latter brands, but you can get and like the former brands, get the former brands. if you do decide to get a brand with lower electrolyte content, consider a higher capacity water bottle to keep your hydration up. you can get these with or without sugar. you can add these to your water or to a separate water bottle, whichever is your preference.
portable fan - they make these in a lot of different styles, some you can wear so you get air on your neck, some that have a string to go around your neck and you can hold it where you want, and some that can wrap around something.
BYO shade - this can be a hat, this can be an umbrella. if you are going somewhere where shade won’t be consistently readily available, something like this is important for protection from the sun
portable chair - this is useful if you begin feeling dizzy due to heat or dehydration. if that’s been known to happen to you, consider this. if not and you don’t want to get it, sit or lay on the ground if you start feeling dizzy or lightheaded or if you experience vertigo, tinnitus, or black out vision. That is called pre-syncope, so you will likely faint, especially if you continue to stand.
heat is dangerous and you could die. take any symptoms of heat stroke or exhaustion seriously.
biggest tng fail was not having a spot-centric episode where she explores the enterprise
Dash Thing ™
Episode where an alien threat disables every humanoid on the Enterprise and then there’s a Baby’s Day Out style sequence of events where Spot makes their way to the bridge and accidentally fires a photon torpedo at the alien ship
or what if Data is the only one still conscious but also incapacitated so he has to pspspspsps Spot through the comms to go to the bridge and fire a photon torpedo at the alien ship
20, as of May 2019. Is it no longer May 2019? Well, do the math.
