say what you will about the reserve bank of india these are some cracking coins
the circus was in town that day 🤡
happy lesbian visibility week to them
If you want to make your backyard a safe haven for lesser dragons, you must keep a close eye on your pets. While it is unlikely that a curious kitten will be able to cause a dragon physical harm, the egos of these small wyrms are as fragile as they are beautiful.

what perfection this is
This has been my phone/computer background for YEARS since I first discovered it! :)
“Get a rat and put it in a cage and give it two water bottles. One is just water, and one is water laced with either heroin or cocaine. If you do that, the rat will almost always prefer the drugged water and almost always kill itself very quickly, right, within a couple of weeks. So there you go. It’s our theory of addiction. Bruce comes along in the ‘70s and said, “Well, hang on a minute. We’re putting the rat in an empty cage. It’s got nothing to do. Let’s try this a little bit differently.” So Bruce built Rat Park, and Rat Park is like heaven for rats. Everything your rat about town could want, it’s got in Rat Park. It’s got lovely food. It’s got sex. It’s got loads of other rats to be friends with. It’s got loads of colored balls. Everything your rat could want. And they’ve got both the water bottles. They’ve got the drugged water and the normal water. But here’s the fascinating thing. In Rat Park, they don’t like the drugged water. They hardly use any of it. None of them ever overdose. None of them ever use in a way that looks like compulsion or addiction. There’s a really interesting human example I’ll tell you about in a minute, but what Bruce says is that shows that both the right-wing and left-wing theories of addiction are wrong. So the right-wing theory is it’s a moral failing, you’re a hedonist, you party too hard. The left-wing theory is it takes you over, your brain is hijacked. Bruce says it’s not your morality, it’s not your brain; it’s your cage. Addiction is largely an adaptation to your environment. […] We’ve created a society where significant numbers of our fellow citizens cannot bear to be present in their lives without being drugged, right? We’ve created a hyperconsumerist, hyperindividualist, isolated world that is, for a lot of people, much more like that first cage than it is like the bonded, connected cages that we need. The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection. And our whole society, the engine of our society, is geared towards making us connect with things. If you are not a good consumer capitalist citizen, if you’re spending your time bonding with the people around you and not buying stuff—in fact, we are trained from a very young age to focus our hopes and our dreams and our ambitions on things we can buy and consume. And drug addiction is really a subset of that.”
— Johann Hari, Does Capitalism Drive Drug Addiction?
I’m not Christian, I don’t go to church anymore, and my pastor died, but when he was alive I’d sometimes go to his sermons and I remember one time he said “it feels good to hate, but we know that it isn’t allowed, so when we’re told that we’re allowed to hate someone we get so excited that we forget we’re supposed to love”, and if my humble atheist ass might borrow some church talk I’d like to perhaps submit that
Anyhow sometimes on the day to day I feel disgust or revulsion and I have to ask myself “is this a danger to anyone at all or am I just looking for something I’m allowed to hate” and a solid 98/100 times it’s the latter so once again thank you pastor D
wow. that's a good post. in order to appreciate the post I will scroll up slightly to ensure I am reading the entire thing. ah, it would seem that my tumblr feed has refreshed, and the post is now gone forever. one should never get too attached
ask me about the difference between leopard/cheetah/jaguar print, it’s my field of expertise
What is the difference? Please learn me a thing
cheetahs got dots! little dot dots i want to bop
leopards got filling. it’s cheetah 2.0. Cheetah on meth. look at that leopard shit.
then there’s jaguar. Jaguar is madness. it took leopard print & decided wait. what if–MAW DOTS. it’s just leopard print with dots in the middle, it’s chaos
look at this bullshit
i’m angry just looking at it
so in ascending order: Cheetah < Leopard < Jaguar
C.L.J. someone come up with weird mnemonic for that, i’ve done enough work for you greedy bastards

there it is

god that adhd struggle where you are so motivated to do something but there is just like. A Blockage In Your Body that stops the motivation from turning into anything. so you just like. vibrate. sitting there like yeah, man, i totally want to do that right now. (doesn’t)
i posted this image on twitter like actual ages ago but it just keeps getting more relevant
Sometimes I can still hear their voice
Breaking: TikTok is better bc it’s more hostile towards humanity
The lack of video content is what kept us here... I thought we all agree that the best feature of this hellhole was and always will be anonymity.
Tumblr's not asking for my phone number. It's not going through my contacts to try and connect me with my fucking colleagues. I can come here and talk about whatever I want without anyone ever seeing my face or hearing my voice. I don't have to censor myself and hide my interests or enthusiasm out of fear of consequences it might have in my real life.
I think the biggest misunderstanding they have of Tumblr is that they think of it as a social media platform when in actuality it's a blogging platform with social features.
I like the use of Metroman here because if there's one thing Tumblr users collectively agree on it's that we want everyone to think we're dead
I fear a fresh wave of the plague
Update from twitter
i want to explain to people- the lower bit is accurate you probably pay way more in taxes/rent then a medieval peasants well as have less time off of work
tag just won game of the year
went to a michael's only michael meeting thought it might be nice to convene with my fellow michaels but guess what WRONG I got kicked out because my full name is 'michael hunter' and it was 'scaring some of the michaels what if i am a michael hunter' ???? they clearly just don't like me??? fuming right now. i'll show them a michael hunter. i'll show them all
i wish i had the post on hand but a read i really like is vampirism as disability. you cant work a regular day job, in fact you physically cannot leave your home most hours of the day, you have specific dietary restrictions that alienate you from the social act of breaking bread, you feel condemned to navigate the world at its fringes, maybe your body wont change and develop the way it does for your peers, maybe your body is changing very rapidly into something that frightens people.
its tricky territory because i feel like the trope of the vampire as parasite is very dominant in the cultural consciousness and thats obviously not a connection i wish to draw, but like, you know who else the capitalist ableist world treats as drains on Normal society? in a narrative where the vampire character(s) arent being played as villains i think theres a lot of fertile ground here.
I think it would be a genuinely fascinating angle on writing vampire characters and an amazing way to discuss abled society’s tendency to relegate disabilities to “victim”, “parasite”, “monster”, and “pariah” categories depending on what they hope to gain from it.
“good” vampires are sympathetic and tragic, even sexy. “Bad” vampires are selfish and draining (literally) and ‘take up resources at other’s expense’, as the argument goes. Both ends parallel common talking points.
Hell, inspiration porn, unrealistic goals, fetishization, demonization, alienation, othering, the living ‘warning’, victimhood, survivorship, moralization- you could discuss a LOT about disabled experiences by using Vampires as the widely-palatable allegory and I kind of very much want to read that
people will be BLATANTLY and VIOLENTLY transphobic against transmascs + spit the most vile intersexist/exorsexist bullshit youve ever seen in your entire life, and then still be marked green on shinigami eyes
like are you fucking kidding me. jesus christ
it doesn't even matter whether or not you think transandrophobia is "real" at this point, this is just active transphobia. Period. it doesn't matter how you spin it. you can mark people like this as green as you want, that doesn't mean I'm ever going to feel safe.
no excuse is going to convince me that any of these people (or the shinigami eyes extension itself) are "trans-friendly." active intersexism/exorsexism/transphobia (yes, even aimed at those "shitty tme tboys!") is not "trans-friendly." this isn't up for debate. stop pretending like it is. you can't pick and choose which trans people are okay to support and which ones are "acceptable targets." this is fucking nasty
