My name's Bee! I think this one will last longer this time, haha!
I'm from Canada, like watching anime more than I ever thought I would, and quite enjoy reading books! I've also been trying to get back into painting Warhammer 40k minis recently.
I go by She/Her and maybe They/Them pronouns!
MY TAGS
#cool art - My tag for art I deem interesting otherwise am interested in putting on my blog
#cool music - My tag for any music I find on here that I enjoy enough to look back on every once in a while!
#bee speaks - The new tag for my ever-so-plentiful original text posts!
#videos - Any assorted videos I quite enjoy.
#fave or #faves - Posts that I know I've reblogged before, and are some of my all-time favourites.
#stories - A tag for any neat tales I see told on this internet we surf.
#comics - The tag I give any awesome comics I reblog on here, as well as any posts about comics as a medium.
#cats, #dog, and #birds (as well as any other kinds of #animals) - Tags for their respective types of critters. Pretty self-explanatory, these ones.
❗️ Note that I often don't tag fandom posts with the #cool art or #videos tags. This isn't because I don't think your art is cool! It's because I mostly use the #cool art tag for non-fandom art that I don't want lost on my blog without a tag.
I also tag a couple of fandoms I'm interested in, which will vary over time! Things like #Bocchi The Rock! or occasionally #Portal are common ones to see!
If there's anything you want me to tag for, just let me know so you can filter it!
I'm not the greatest at this
If you guys can think of anything else I should include in here, feel free to tell me!
prev i'll save you some time bc i happen to know about this. meg white is one of the most anxious people on the planet but an absolute drum prodigy. jack and meg are also somewhat amicably divorced. to avoid people being weird about them and making her anxious, leading to even more cancelled shows (which was frequent throughout their time performing together) they publicly claimed to be siblings. it was a plot to avoid people talking about them fucking and making meg have a panic attack.
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
if you moralize to people in the global south about piracy youre going to hell btw. no atonement no take backsies. guaranteed hell forever permanently.
Look for all my fellow ass backwards Americans and the European as well, let me tell you a story.
A few years ago me and a Brazilian friend (they/them) had a joke that I owed them a sandwich because they burned one while in a VC with me.
A year later I sent $20 USD to them for the bit, about what I paid for my lunch at Subway at the time (before tips).
They texted me worried about how much money I sent them and if I was sure. Because with the exchange rate at the time, that was almost 100 BRL. I had assumed 1 BRL simply bought less (in local goods), turns out the pricing is, well its close enough that it is about 100 in spending power equivalent.
It is my understanding (though I could CERTAINLY be wrong) that Brazil is one of the nations in the Global South that is doing better relatively, and also that the exchange rate has worsened for BRL since.
However, many game devs simply set the price in USD and then forces everyone to pay that price. You know how some books have a slightly higher price listed in CAD if its printed on? Imagine if instead of like, 20 USD 22 CAD that book cost 100-120 CAD. That would be absurd right?
If you can't see the problem with condemning piracy in the Global South after that explanation, then I suppose you're deserving of whatever shit lands in your lap next.
Also, just for the record, we get you a lot more stuff than you realize. A lot of whistleblowers/ leaks/media archiving is done in the global South/spreads from there. It's a genuine underground and public industry that a lot of us grew up learning to do and it matters. Because yea, the system is designed to make media completely impossible to afford
what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?
would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
Inadvisable Dungeons & Dragons character #137: greatsword-wielding barbarian who refuses to give up their sword when entering areas where weapons of war are banned on the grounds that, owing to certain specific details of the construction of its blade and hilt, according to the laws of the land their sword is technically a pocketknife. They are willing to explain the particulars at length.
It's widely believed (though possibly disproven? I don't recall precisely) that this was the reason behind the invention Langesmesser!
People were allowed to carry knives but not swords, so they invented a sword that legally fit into the category of knives.
Though, again, that's just the pop belief, it may not be the precise history.
While it's generally agreed that the peculiarities of the langesmesser's construction were originally motivated by the need to conform with, or circumvent, a specific legal definition of what a "sword" is, there's no evidence that civilian ownership of swords was ever restricted in this way during the period; what surviving records we have seem to indicate that those German city-states which banned civilians from owning or carrying swords of war did so based simply upon the blade's overall length, not upon the details of its construction.
So the TL;DR is that we're pretty sure the langesmesser is (or at least originally was) constructed to be technically-not-a-sword, but we have no idea why.
I grit my teeth and read the entire executive order regarding trans people, and I just want to take the opportunity to remind folks not to forget intersex people. One of the rescinded documents is “Supporting Intersex Students: A Resource for Students, Families, and Educators," and there is a huge emphasis on legally enshrining "only two sexes."
Yes, this affects trans people, but with the way intersex voices often get ignored in trans spaces, I just want to remind folks not to shut us out. Don't forget us. Don't keep talking over us. Don't act like we aren't on the front lines. Don't act like this is just about you. Please.
As a perisex trans person, I would even go so far as to say that intersex people shouldn't just be included, but need to be actively centered in this conversation. Because the legal enshrinement of two sexes might coincide with transphobia or be intended to push transphobic legal standards, but it is directly going to challenge intersex people's fundamental right to exist. It affects all of us, but intersex folks have even fewer social & legal resources and even less understanding from the broader public, and they need us to care about them and help amplify their voices.
I expected Americans without another discernible cultural background to answer this with regional American dishes im getting taken out by people just saying stuff like “burger” and “mcdonalds”
I feel like folks talking like Tumblr is the last bastion of reason on the Internet are forgetting that the owner of Tumblr is demonstrably cut from the same cloth as Zuckerberg and Musk. Tumblr's moderation polices aren't less bigoted, they're just less competently implemented.
Ppl love to say “we are living in Orwell’s 1984!!!” about everything but the shift from Trump starting the idea of a tiktok ban to “Trump is saving tiktok!” is theeee most egregious example of doublethink I’ve ever seen in real life like it’s embarrassing lmao
Seeing friends and peers be like “this is the first time I’m rooting for Trump idc I just want tiktok back” makes me feel like this
NOOOOOO YOU FOOLS DON’T YOU KNOW BIG BROTHER WANTS TO MAKE THE BRAIN PERFECT BEFORE THEY BLOW IT OUT. DON’T GIVE IN PLEASE REMEMBER LITERALLY ANYTHING TRUE AND REAL
