that picture of the guy holding his cat under one arm and a sword in the other but it’s me protecting chikorita from the haters

updated it for Legends Z-A

I want you all to see what I have to deal with on a regular basis. They swap out RANDOMLY

This marks the-- Idk 3rd year? I played Sky, and also my son Kurio's birthday!

Everybody wish him a happy birthday, he got too excited and blew out the candles alongside his cake-

"Huh-- Is this thing on-- Heh, it still works!"

*ahem*

"Thanks for the wish, stranger! Kurio's busy at the moment, but I'll pass the tip to him. Might come in handy when we have to order a cake one day"

youtube is pulling this bullshit again

praying for the firefox gods to save me once more...

I just fixed this for me!

I use Ublock Origins (and recommend). Once you have it go to Settings and then Filter lists

Scroll down and expand the Built In option. Then uncheck the "quick fixes"

Apply changes and reload your youtube page!

Not sure how long this work around will function so time stamping to 12/20/24 ~4pm EST

Yup I found this on a reddit thread shortly after I posted and it worked for me. Reblogging to raise visibility.

heyy can we do a sexy roleplay where im a prince from a fallen kingdom and youre the powerful warrior who has taken me for their own pleasure. yes? yipeeee ok so before we start first here's a google doc with the whole history of the fictional land we're both from and the intricate geopolitical workings of the- oh yeah and here's a supplementary doc on the agriculture and trade routes of said fictional land and stuff and yes this is important. the dirty talk has to be lore accurate

hi. hi. hi hello this one cannot be left in the tags thank you deeply so much tumblr user dorbu. you understand. you Get It... The Post...

TIL that the reason lead levels in children’s blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.

Yep.  It also correlates extremely strongly with an increasing decrease of violent crime.  One of the symptoms of low level constant lead exposure is increased aggression and volatility. 

“Unknown scientist”? That was Clair Cameron Patterson.

Gas companies are still so mad at him he’s “unknown scientist”, know his name

Daily reminder that health and safety standards like these are what politicians mean when they talk about “deregulation.”

Patterson died 5 December 1995.

Petition to make his date of death a Tumblr holiday celebrated by talking about cool shit the gas and petroleum industries don’t want us to know about, and fighting to continue his work.

Happy Clair Cameron Patterson day!

Some of Van Gogh’s best work was done during a period of his life that he spent in a hospital being treated for his mental health problems. I could be wrong but I think Starry Night was among those.

This is consistently the case. Creators tend to do their best work when they are in a healthy place and receiving proper treatment and not being self destructive in their efforts to cope. Go figure.

All our experiences, good and bad, inform what we create, but suffering is not the price of great art. Suffering is what prevents artists from completing great art.

(I bring to mind this @tkingfisher / Ursula Verson quote about once a week <3)

I always cry when I think how Louis Wein’s friends helped him get out of a shitty institution and receive good medical treatment, and it lead to that happy cat. No one should be miserable so others can consume art

ok last thing. but what people fundamentally need to get through their heads is the significance of gaza fundraisers not being the same as like mutual aid when you're helping someone get groceries, because it is a genocide. there is insane deliberate scarcity and prices are unmanageable, because there is nowhere nearly enough for everyone, so only people who can pay can eat. and what positioning individual fundraisers as the only course of action does is quite simply give a tiny percentage of random people whose fundraisers take off the ability to pay those prices while thousands of others can't. and every one of those thousands of people without a fundraiser is suffering through the same inconceivably horrific reality. it is giving a few completely desperate people out of hundreds of thousands a slightly more favorable position in a horrific war economy of imposed scarcity. and what grassroots community kitchens do is try to mitigate in some small way that inconceivable hierarchy of who can pay and who can't, by stretching ingredients as far as they can last to cook meals at large scale and give them out at no cost. and obviously people are still going to send money to their friends and families because this is hell what else are we supposed to do but please just think about that before promoting endless individual fundraisers as somehow the most ethical way to help

Operation Olive Branch has a spreadsheet dedicated to mutual aid, local distro, community kitchens, etc. in Gaza.

This is a good place to start if seeking to donate to a community resilience action. Just contact the group(s) directly to make sure they are still active. Life in Gaza and Palestine is full of uncertainty.

im extremely devout but nobody can figure out what im worshipping

big fan of characters who have it all under control when theyre put in situations but no idea how to be like a regular guy doing regular stuff when all is said and done.

sometimes the moral of the story really is just "you cannot go back and what happened to you is going to be with you for the rest of your life. but it's still going to be okay" huh

I needed something to streamline telling weirdos to leave, I made this. It is very good

The comic context! This is to enhance the comic experience, knowing what thoughts (or the lack thereof) that went into this-

Hope u enjoy :"
