this fucking girl on bumble sent me like three shy anime girl images and said like “uhmm… hi you seem really cool 😖😖 i’m so nervous” and it fr pissed me off so bad i deleted the app

[duncebento]

the fact that about a quarter of the notes are jumping earnestly to defend this behavior as cute and “vulnerable” (while jokingly or seriously castigating the “rudeness” of a non-response) and another quarter seems genuinely confused as to how sending this message as an opener could be considered repellant says just so much about this site and its demographics. never change, salt of the earth

Today's aesthetic: people who are like "this anime could have been good if it weren't for one specific detail that totally ruins it", and then that one specific detail is, like, the thematic foundation of the show's core premise.

Help save mature forests in the US

[unexpectedgeese]

The Climate Forests campaign works to protect mature and old-growth trees and forests from logging across America's public lands as a corner

Here’s the link for my followers! It’s super easy— all it needs is your name and an email address.

[kedreeva]

If you don't want to watch (or started to scroll past) the gist of the video is this:

The US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management have asked for public opinions on whether they should (or should be allowed to) protect mature and old growth forests.

The link above leads to a 10-second submission form to send letters to both services at once saying YES, I would like you to please protect these forests. Again, the only info necessary on the form is a first and last name, and an email address.

You only have until TOMORROW, June 20th 2023 to respond!

[kedreeva]

I'm reblogging this again because the video says July 20th, but the official government page for it says 6/20/023 11:59pm EDT for a deadline. This is TOMORROW, so if you want your voice to count, or you or spread the news, you unfortunately do not have time to put it off or add this to your queue. It's gotta be now.

takumi posted about the showcase on twitter today (relevant tweet 1, relevant tweet 2) and from the sounds of it he delivered the speech in english because he heard the capcom showcase had more overseas viewers than japanese viewers last time. so he asked janet hsu to translate a speech for him and record it, and then listened to it morning to night for two weeks so he could repeat it by memory at the showcase. he even made notes to try and get the cadence of it down.

(source tweet)

all for the experience of us turning on the capcom showcase and going “oh! I didn’t know takumi could speak english!” and he can’t he just memorized a script to pitch ghost trick in english because he thought it would be interesting to overseas viewers. this guy really operates on an entirely different brain level from most people and I have so much respect for him

Rejection-sensitive or not, you have to accept when people say “no” and realize that people’s “no” is not about you. A boundary is never about you, it’s about that person’s sense of security. Do not make people’s personal limits a matter of targeted offence.

If you haven't read the "Bunsen and Beaker's relationship" article on the Muppet Wiki you're missing out on a great summary of how the two have canonically gone from "could be read as gay but probably not intentionally" to "we're not even pretending these two are straight" over the years. these aren't even half of the entries btw

this is from a "manipulation advice" video and it's just so fucking funny to me. why didn't I think of responding to insults like this

If step 1, "Are you okay?" doesn't work, you need to follow up with step 2:

idk when we decided that explaining yourself shouldn't be part of an apology but like. if someone was a dick to me and apologizes but I still don't understand why they did it I'm not gonna feel any better

[hollowboobtheory]

"Sorry for hurting your feelings earlier. I was trying to say x, but I guess it came across wrong. I don't think you're stupid."

or

"Sorry I snapped at you. I didn't get enough sleep last night so my patience is a little low today."

is a better apology than

"I want you to know that I am sorry that my actions offended you. I take full accountability for my actions and I am listening and learning. I hear you."
