cats’ instinct to smack the shit out of anything and everything is honestly one of their best traits
This video is so top notch, it has so many good things in it: the squinty eyes, the background music, the smack, the fall
Also how he is basking in the warmth of the candles before he desides it’s now time to destroy

So, what is the OGL and why are DnD creators thoroughly screwed?
Tumblr has not been doing a great job at talking about this, but:
With OneDnD, Wizards of the Coast has decided to update the Open Game License (OGL). Said license is what allowed people to create homebrew DnD content and sell it, and even larger companies to use certain sorts of content. Pathfinder, for example, is built on said OGL. This also allows streamers and artists to exist and benefit from said content.
With OneDnD (sometimes called “dnd 6e”), WOTC wants to create a much more restrictive OGL, which will, amongst other things:
Make WOTC take a cut for any DnD-related work (according to Kickstarter, a whole 25% of the benefits)
Let WOTC cancel any project related to DnD up to their discretion
Let WOTC take ANY content made based on their system, and re-sell it without crediting you, or giving you a single cent
And most importantly, revoke the old OGL, which will harm any company or game system that used it as a base, such as Pathfinder. And it means they GET ownership over any homebrew content you may have done for 5e in the past!
It’s important to note that OGLs are supposedly irrevocable. They were planning to use it for OneDnD initially, but they want to apply it retroactively to 5e, somehow. Which is illegal, but lawyers have mentioned there’s a chance they may get away with it given the wording.
This means that anything you make based on DnD (A homebrew item? A character drawing? Even music, according to them?), can get taken and used as they deem appropiate.
These news come from a leak of the OGL, which have been confirmed by multiple reputable sources (including Kickstarter, which has confirmed that WOTC already talked with them about this), and was planned to be released next week.
So, what can we do?
Speak against it. Share the word. Reblog this post. Let people know. Tumblr hasn’t been talking much about this matter, but it’s VERY important to let people know about what is WOTC bringing.
Boycott them. Do not buy their products. Do not buy games with their IP. Do not watch their movie. CANCEL your DnD Beyond subscription. (Btw, they ARE planning to release more subscription services too!). They do not care about the community, but they care about the money. Make sure to speak through it.
And maybe consider other TTRPG systems for the time being, Pathfinder’s Paizo has been much nicer to the community, their workers are unionized and are far more healthy overall
i’ve had this comic sketched out for months but only decided to finish it now, it’s based on something i drew a couple years back of toph and zuko….don’t think too hard on when or how this takes place because i don’t really know either! it’s just a concept i’ve always wanted to draw
i think one of my fave shark facts is this thing that some species of sharks do where they sorta peek their heads out of the water to see whats above the surface…..its called spyhopping and great white sharks do it all the time
This gave me so much serotonin for some reason.
They look like they forgot they can breathe underwater and think they’re drowning
#dont they reckon they learned this from whales?#bc whales have been doing this for as long as weve been observing them but sharks have only started doing it in the last decade or so#OH HEY THAT REMINDS ME#ON THE TOPIC OF SHARKS LEARNING THINGS FROM OTHER SPECIES#theres a pod of orcas that have recently started hunting sharks off the coast of south africa#started with one orca with a collapsed dorsal who reportedly HATES sharks and was the only orca on record to hunt them routinely#WELL#he taught his buddies and now theres a whole pod that hunt them#and the sharks (who arent used to being predated by anything) USED THE SAME EVASION TECHNIQUES THAT THEIR OWN PREY USE WITH THEM#so seals and turtles and etc will try to evade a GWS by swimming in a tight circle and keeping the shark in their line of sight#the GW has a larger turning circle than the prey so if the turtle/seal/whatever is able to got into the right position then they can evade#the shark. well the orcas started hunting the sharks and the sharks TRIED EMPLOYING THE SAME TACTIC THAT THEIR PREY USES#this is huge in terms of lateral learning bc its not as though the sharks have an instinctive orca evasion technique bc if they did it#would be something different. given that sharks are solitary hunters but orcas are pack hunters and the smaller turning circle method#will only work with a solitary hunter and definitely HAS NOT worked when applied to pack hunters. BUT THIS MEANS!! that the sharks are#intelligent enough to recall the behaviour of their own prey’s successful evasion techniques AND TO THEN MIMIC IT THEMSELVES.#incredible!!!!!!! but yeah as stated it very much only works against solitary animals so the sharks that employed it did not get away and#the orcas have killed a handful of GWs and literally all the other sharks have fled the area entirely - like - there’s not a single#one to be found and the ones with tracking devices show them getting the fuck out of dodge and of course this is having a big negative#impact on the local economy which runs largely on shark tourism. but yeah like the facinating thing here is that an adult orca has taught#fellow adult orcas how to hunt sharks AND the sharks have tried to employ evasion techniques that they have known to work in the past#its two instances of lateral learning and ONE OF THEM IS CROSS SPECIES LATERAL LEARNING#its amazing!??!? (via @bundibird)
ok you can not just leave all of this in the tags this is fascinating
can’t leave these out either #hold the fuck up what#this reminds me of how octopuses are said to be engaging in submarine warfare like..#there’s some geopolitical shit going on in the water and we don’t even know !!!#the anti-sharks orca party has successfully made their area unsafe for sharks for the first time in known sharkstory !#crazy shit !!#aquatic life
I am really happy that other people are getting the word out on sharks.
Everyone is always saying that they are scared of sharks and don’t want to help them.
But, this is a serious issue.
Sharks aren’t he only ones who are affected by the actions of hunting and shark finning, but the entire ecosystem.
So everyone, PLEASE REBLOG!
SAVE OUR SHARKS!
Thank god finally
Why is every single one of you tagging this saying "oh just like horseshoe crabs" why the hell do you all know how horseshoe crabs mate off the top of your heads?
What the fuck do you mean "because of the lesbian horseshoe crabs"
@matzahball
For a second I didn’t realize it meant “high” as in a stoner–I thought “High Geologist” was like a rank of geologist or something and he was insulted you would challenge him to naming stones
great poast every one👍
I have drawn him…. The High Geologist
Can’t believe he’s ace
He is now And here’s the photo evidence:
hey guys…https://twitter.com/MatthewLillard/status/1322648148364324864 so does this make it canon?
the high geologist has ascended
every time i see this post it gets…. better? but also weirder.
I always gotta reblog the High Geologist once in a while.
I love this too much.
Fuck!
Shame it's now been proven without a doubt that eco terrorists started the wildfire to produce proof that global warming was real
Is that legit?
Both the video and the information are.
New Mexico and California are getting ready to take court two cases
Obviously the video is, but this is the first I've heard of any eco terrorists.
yeah it was amazingly underreported though
Hey friends! Just a quick reminder on critical thinking coming in!
If you watch a video on an Australian bushfire and someone claims it was arson and when you ask "is this true", their response is "yes there are court cases in New Mexico and California", which are separated from Australia by the entirety of the Pacific hecking Ocean
if that happens, something doesn't check out
If you ask again for confirmation and their source is a screenshot of google(!) where the first link says in the preview(!!) that it's just citing a random senator(!!!) and the other three links don't say anything at all(!!1!)
if that happens, something doesn't check out
If you then go to the wildfire's Wikipedia page and it has an entire section on misinformation that says that far-right trolls and bots spread the lie that arson is the main cause of the fires (and not climate change) and if you look up the American wildfires that this other guy was talking about and there is further evidence of misinformation
if that happens, something definitely, absolutely doesn't check out
If then finally (because character evidence should only come at the end, not in the beginning), everyone involved spreads misinformation about Covid vaccines or just straight up the white supremacist conspiracy theory of the great replacement, you know exactly what's going on
This is a tiny shitty blog with like five active followers, but with what little audience I have, I beg you on all fours to please, when you encounter a weird and surprising claim, to stop for a second, to think if it makes sense and fits into your general framework of the world – and if it doesn't, to do the minimal work to search for it on wikipedia or duckduckgo or whatever search engine you use
Trash like this is what has been poisoning society for over two decades now and if we don't all push back against it, it's only gonna get worse from here
whatever platform this is that i have, as a persian, i want to use it right now. this is a poem i wrote today after grieving the loss of my people.
iranians, particularly women, are suffering. Mahsa Amini was killed for not wearing her hijab properly and now protests have begun. in iran, wearing the hijab if you are a woman is mandatory. you will be punished if your hair is showing. now, iran has no wifi because the government is silencing the people, so i cannot contact my family. it's been days and i don't know how they're doing.
i just want to spread awareness on behalf of my people who are being silenced. let women have the choice to wear what they want. stop controlling them. let everyone be free.
People outside of iran are asking how they can help. I can suggest these options:
Be our voice, spread our stories. It's important to share what's happening in Iran as much as you can. The more people hear about it, the harder it gets for governments to deny it. Acknowledgment can be a tool here.
Have peaceful gatherings and protests in front of Iran embassy in your country of residence if possible. Obviously I don't want anyone to get in trouble but if you live in a country that allows freedom of speech and peaceful protests, do it. The sense of solidarity alone helps our courage.
Demand your government to un-recognize our government as legit. We do not know Islamic republic of Iran as our representative government, we wish other countries to stop shaking hands and welcoming Islamic republic politicians in international affairs. Iran's current government is not recognized by majority of people and it shouldn't be by other nations. You can demand this by just tweeting and posting about it.
Thank you in advance for any help you're able to do. We appreciate it.

Help us by spreading information
Tired of enduring tribulations. Don't wanna be tribulated no more.

I AM IN LOVE. I can’t, I just can’t even. There were so many great lines and I struggled to pick which ones to draw.
