hot take: coyote howls are cooler than wolf howls.

wolf howl: simple awooo. classic. a bit basic. 7/10

coyote howl: haunting choir of yipping and barking and screaming and howling. Sounds like summoning a demon and inviting it to party with them. Or chilling screams that should be in a horror movie. Or sentient squeaky toys begging for food. 4 of them sound like 40. 9/10

Okay, I'm gonna be honest, I don't get Leorio x Kurapika as a ship. I just don't get any romantic vibe whatsoever between them. Anyone want to explain why they ship Leorio and Kurapika to me because I'm genuinely curious.

Kurapika is just an unshippable character to me, like that man isn't interested in romance.

[beepaboopadoop]

I normally am not a huge shipper, but they're the exception. It's hard for me to describe why I ship them, but a lot of it comes back to their conversation running up those stairs in the hunter exam.

Also the way one of Kurapika's few joys in life seems to be pushing Leorio's buttons.

Shout out to mediocre black people actually. Shout out to black people who are bad at shit. You don’t need to be the best for your life to matter.

[mycotoxin]

This post is not a joke, and it is not making fun of black people who fall short. I’m tired of some folk thinking this post is funny.

If you aren’t particularly great at anything, or if you’re downright bad at doing things people expect of you, you are VALUABLE and your life is just as worthwhile as those black people who worked overtime to be where they are now.

Maybe you’re not particularly strong, athletic, smart, artistic, whatever. I don’t care, because you still deserve to exist and be fought for.

There’s way too much pressure for black people to be excellent. You’re allowed to just exist and be mediocre.

ok but legitimately i think the reason why kids aren’t taking internet safety seriously is because the people who are telling us not to put our personal information out seem so out of touch. no one acknowledges the possibility of meeting very real teenaged friends online, they always say that everyone you meet is a 40 year old white man in disguise. because they aren’t acknowledging things we know are true, it becomes a lot easier to dismiss the rest of what they’re saying as well. internet safety lessons absolutely must keep up with the times and acknowledge the internet’s capacity for good if you want kids to take to heart warnings about its capacity for bad.

Some actual safety tips for teenagers:

1. Have proof they're a teenager first. More than just a picture, have a video call with them.

2. If you want to meet up with them, have your parents or a trusted adult come with you. Even if they are a proven teenager, its still good to have supervision in case any issues happen.

3. If you are talking to an adult, and they start being sexual in any way, you run the fuck away. It doesn't matter if they're 40 or 20. An adult inherently has a power dynamic that teenagers do not. And its up to the adult to act responsible about it. There's exceptions of course, if you're 16 and dating an 18 year old, that's not a problem, we're not talking about that.

4. Being in a server with adults or ran by adults is not inherently bad. Talking to adults is not inherently a problem, and will likely happen in any number of Discord servers. It is only an issue when they are acting sexual and show predatory behavior.

5. Look out for grooming behavior. It can be difficult, because at first it seems like innocuous behavior, like complimenting or giving gifts. Especially if you feel lonely and have low self esteem. And groomers actively target people like that.

If they start trying to isolate you, talk sexual with you, state they depend on you for emotional needs, blame you for their own actions, try to be secretive about the relationship- Then you need to talk to people you trust, block the perpetrator, and call the police on them.

6. If this does happen to you, remember this: It is not your fault. Even if you didn't listen to a single thing listed here, it is not your fault. It is the fault of the adults who knew better, and didn't care. It's not your fault.

[tomboyjessie13]

To my followers: if any of you guys are underaged, please be very VERY careful on here, and don’t fall for any of the tricks the groomer would use on you, just block them and report them.

A good life for the 99% isn’t a pipe dream: it can be done. Here’s how

Our plan is radical – but by transforming how we live on a finite planet, nearly everyone gains, says Thomas Piketty and researchers from th

A habitable, equal and prosperous 21st century is materially possible. The carbon budget allows it and history offers precedents at comparable scales: universal suffrage, the universalisation of healthcare and education, the halving of working hours and the sharp compression of inequality over the 20th century. Technical impossibility is not what is standing in the way, but rather the absence of a shared vision of social progress, at once concrete and radical. What it will take instead is political choice, and the hard work of coalition-building behind it.

I was despairing last night but Raye was right - my joy comes in the morning! This is the future I want to live in. And it is possible.

One thing I wish was explored more is how Nanika feels about using her powers. Killua says he doesn't want her to feel used, but I can't recall any evidence that she feels used when Killua orders her to do things. Especially since he has stated that he loves her as his sister. It seems quite possible that Killua is projecting how he feels used by his family. What do you think?

This is a good question!! hrmmm. I’m not sure how to word this but it’s tricky with nanika since her communication is a bit minimal and her understanding of socializing and her mentality would be more at a toddler’s level (considering that she is likely an AI, and that they want to have a connection with humanity). furthermore on that, it would be hard to say she has a certain feeling on it because of that, nor that she can realize she can be exploited. Perhaps as she interacts with the world and grows up with Alluka she’ll have more feelings on it. but I do agree that Killua’s response is from his own feelings and that to keep her from harm and being exploited like in the past. Or maybe she is starting to learn that and has told Killua that offscreen somehow? I think the first point is more likely personally. Thank you for the ask!

[beepaboopadoop]

I do think Nanika's killing reflex does stem from some feeling of being exploited/used, because that seems to fit in with how she'll do anything for Killua, who loves her.

I feel like AI mature much slower than humans do, I guess because in the flashbacks Nanika is very similar to the current Nanika.

I did write this a long time ago, if anyone wants to read it. It's about Nanika asking Killua to make a wish. https://archiveofourown.org/works/56734255

Me: "Damn people are REALLY BAD at knowing when to tag their eyestrain art/images...either that or they just don't care about photosenitive epileptic people like me. I feel really sad now." Person: "But Allison, what if they just don't know or understand what qualifies as eyestrain and what doesn't?" Me: "You know what? That could be a factor...While it is always better to be safe rather than sorry (so YES people should always tag eyestrain even if they're unsure if it "counts" or not) maybe you've got a point?"

Anyways! HERE'S YOUR HANDY GUIDE TO WHAT CAN COUNT AS EYESTRAIN! I'm pulling this straight from the Artfight rules page about what needs to be labeled and filtered as eyestrain because it's VERY helpful and VERY accurate! I also know not everybody has an AF account and might not always have access to this handy guide, and this is an important resource; That's why I'm sharing it here! (under the cut)

PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! THIS IS ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHERS!!!

Full eyestrain AF page link

"But Allison! How were you able to screenshot that example if you're so sensitive to eyestrain?"

I dimmed the HELL out of my computer screen and looked away while taking the screenshot and did the same when putting it into this post, that's how lol. BUT YEAH ANYWAYS!!! Once again:

PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! THIS IS ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHERS!!!

by the way this is medical. this could save somebody from a migraine all the way to a seizure. this has always been serious. treat this seriously.
