So theres a boardbgame called zombicide, right? Basically in this game you and your buddies play as various different characters called survivors, who all have different abilities and such. In this game, you kill zombies and complete quests and such. There's various different kinds of zombies, like walkers, runners, fatties, and abominations, and theres also necromancers. Now, there have been various different necromancers released, abominations too. There's extra purchasable boxes and bits and such based on all kind of pop culture things, including survivors based on the knights of the round table from Monty Python and the holy grail, as well as an abominabunny (abomination based on the wretched little white bunny) and the magenta covfefe of arrrgh (based on the black beast of arrgh), and theres a necromancer or two based on Dracula. Anyways, most quests in zombicide/the number of players in zombicide is typically required to be six people. In hit novel Dracula by Bram Stoker, theres six main people who go out to kill Dracula (Mina, Jonathan, Van Helsing, Jack Seward, Quincey, Arthur). You get what I'm saying, right? They should make survivors/quests based off of them, I think. Id play the hell out of that and if they dont i might have to do it myself

#Dracula #zombicide #Zombicide people you should hire me please please #Rambling #Idk just rambling #Zombicides a really fun game i mostly play the fantasy ones (green horde black plague white death and their expansions)#And its really a lot of fun

BLEH BLEH DRACULA

TRAVELLIN' ON THE DEMETER

THINK HE CAN'T GET YA?

WELL YES HE CAN

There lived a certain man in Transylvania, He was big and strong, but had haemo-mania. Most people look at him with terror and with fear But to estate agents, he was such a lovely dear.

He could scale the castle like a lizard And said that he did not drink wine Shifting shape like some blood-drinking wizard His brides thought he was fine.

THIS is the comic that has been banned

It was flagged as "Eksplicit", shadowbanned, and every reblog turned invisible. The flagging is also unappealable (unless that is an error, thanks tumblr)

Happy Trans Day of Invisibility from your tumblr mods!

Only found out because I tried to reblog with an update from your local trans unicorn siblings!

I cannot even LINK to my old comic without every new post getting deleted.

And yet, we will CONTINUE to exist, and grow, and find each other. We will be visible up to and beyond our own deaths. Because we stand for love. We love ourselves and each other and that just makes us stronger.

Happy pride!

The original post was pardoned, but the shadowban still persisted and every reblog was hidden from the dash and flagged explicit. I'm not sure if it recovered by now, or if it's always going to be at risk of banning.

So whatever staff reviewed my complaint agreed that it wasn't explicit. So thank you for that, moderator. This highlights that the problem starts with bad actors reporting anything they don't like, and that it's a tossup if your appeal is seen by a bot, a normal human, or a bigot.

I'm grateful I can still touch people and spread positivity. Many of my queer siblings, brothers, and sisters - especially trans sisters - can't say the same.

But no matter what happens, we will always have each other. Every letter in our alphabet is a pillar holding up a beautiful world that only stands if we're all in it together. The rest of society may call you a monster, but it calls me one too. Maybe you won't hear it from the rest of them, but listen and you will hear it from me.

I love you.

I always will.

have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

venndaai

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

fluorescentbrains

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

muffinlance

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir

I <3 you a normal amount Greenland sharks

Reducing the calories does not inherently increase the healthiness of your food.

Reducing the fat content does not inherently increase the healthiness of your food.

Reducing the sugars does not inherently increase the healthiness of your food.

The only way to increase the healthiness of your food is by adding additional nutrients to it.

I saw a video of someone complaining that fucking chicken tikka masala "wasn't healthy" so they made a "healthier version" that was, in fact, LESS HEALTHY. Because they made it with only fat free dairy products, rendering many of the vitamins they would have otherwise gotten from that meal utterly useless, because the body needs fats in order to absorb them properly.

Two tbsp of brown sugar does not render a meal "unhealthy." Full fat dairy products do not render a meal "unhealthy." Calorically dense foods do not render a meal "unhealthy."

If you're really concerned about your health, add more nutrients. Eat extra veggies or extra protein. But you're not actually worried about your health. You're worried about your weight.

You're worried that in the process of eating a homemade meal with lean protein and veggies and a rich, delicious sauce you will consume more energy than you can use today.

You're worried that energy might be stored so that your body can use it when it needs to later.

You're worried that your relationship with gravity might change. You've been taught to worry about that. You've been taught to misconstrue manufacturered body issues as being "health conscious." But you're not doing things to promote health. You're just trying to reduce your energy consumption no matter what.

And I am begging you to consider, that this is not actually a "health conscious" mindset at all.

Good news! This story exists, it’s called The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

thelightwillbreakthrough

@alexkablob many such cases!!!

So i talk to my cat with a lot of two-syllable words. You know, things like "hello" and "hi there" and "lady" and "dearie" and her name, which has two syllables. Well, she's started "talking" to me/meowing at me with these little two-syllable meows that sound kinda like "eh-oh" or "me-ow" and i just think thats really cute.

#She has also learned that I have my specific talking-to-cats voice #and so when I say things in my regular voice she will not pay much attention #but when I speak in my talking-to-cats voice she will turn and look at me even if I'm not actively doing anything with her #and I think that's pretty cute

Highlights from the time capsule I made when I was 9:

Q: If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

A: I would be a cat

Q: What are some things you dislike?

A: My brother (not really)

Q: What are your thoughts on pollution?

A: it's stupid and dumb

Bonus: a drawing I included of myself turning into a cat, the sheer amount of times I mentioned cats and/or books, the random paper i included where I reminded myself that I caught a mouse once and got extra candy for it that wasn't actually an official part of the time capsule papers but 9-year-old me decided it had to be included

"Oh Luke is Anakin's son and Leia is Padme's daughter" "Nuh uh Luke is Padme's son and Leia is Anakin's daughter" Luke and Leia are the children of both their parents, and not only in looks. They take after both of their parents in personality and traits and all those little things, and they are also their own people. Luke has Padme's kindness and Anakin's impulsivity, Leia has Padme's cleverness and Anakin's temper and so on and so forth, but they are also individual people and not carbon copies of their parents. But most importantly, Luke is not just Anakin or Padme's son and Leia is not just Anakin or Padme's daughter. Leia is also the daughter of Bail and Breha Organa, and Luke is also the child of Owen and Beru Lars. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

#honestly whenever I come across those #“Luke is Anakin's son” or “Luke is Padme's son” or “Leia is Anakin's daughter” or “Leia is Padme's daughter” posts I cringe #The twins are their own people. And they are both their parents #And they are the children of the people who raised them #They can be all of at once and frankly its boring and annoying #to just pigeonhole them into “Luke is Padme's son and Leia is Anakin's daughter” (the two I see most often)#For one thing it often flattens interesting traits of Luke which he shares with his father (like his impulsivity)#in order of making him into some stupid “pure cinnamon role” archetype #(I hate that archetype if you couldn't tell)#and also does a weird nature vs nurture thing.#Acknowledge the role that the Organas had in Leia's sense of justice and quest for a better world #Acknowledge how the people who raised her shaped her #instead of just slapping her into the mold of “Anakin's daughter” because she gets angry #(plus I think Leia would hate to be thought of as just Anakin's daughter and her personality doesn't need to be compared to some dude #all the time)#rambling #idk just rambling #star wars #leia organa #luke skywalker

I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.

Sources beyond dude just trust me, for the skeptics.

Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart

“No I can’t come out tonight I’m sobbing about this entomologist’s heartfelt plea for someone to care about an endangered moth”

bogleech

This is how I learn there's a moth whose tiny caterpillars live exclusively off the old shells of dead tortoises.

[Image description: text from a section titled On Being Endangered: An Afterthought that says:

Realizing that a species is imperiled has broad connotations, given that it tells us something about the plight of nature itself. It reminds us of the need to implement conservation measures and to protect the region of which the species is a part. But aside form the broader picture, species have intrinsic worth and are deserving of preservation. Surely an oddity such as C. vicinella cannot simply be allowed to vanish.

We should speak up on behalf of this little moth, not only because by so doing we would bolster conservation efforts now underway in Florida, [highlighting begins] but because we would be calling attention to the existence of a species that is so infinitely worth knowing. [end highlighting]

But is quaintness all that can be said on behalf of this moth? Does this insect not have hidden value beyond its overt appeal? Does not its silk and glue add, potentially, to its worth? Could these products not be unique in ways that could ultimately prove applicable?
