Can I just say I never heard about the only way you could get Black in Animal Crossing was to TAN 😭 but she's so cute I'm so happy! The bangs actually being textured is a new one, fr. There are even still a LOT of picrews where the back of the head is coiled but the bangs just... Loose curl at best. So that's cool!
Happy aromantic awareness week to all my lovely arospec siblings C:
I still can't believe we've just stopped talking about covid. it's so surreal to watch it destroy people's lives and most people have no idea what's happening. I can't believe we're putting kids in the position of getting covid over and over again.
if you have new weird symptoms or conditions popping up seemingly out of nowhere, it could very well be as a result of having had covid. if you're collapsing into bed at the end of your workweek, bone tired, it could be because of having had covid.
it causes multi systemic issues, damages blood vessels and the brain, triggers the development of chronic conditions and autoimmune diseases and more. pots and mcas are really common. symptoms can look a lot of ways because the impact of covid is multi systemic.
I know this is alarming. but I gotta say, having had postviral illness for many years, getting started on treating these things has improved my quality of life significantly. there is no cure for a lot of it, but life can still be made better with the right medicine.
Fuck Israel.
At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields
At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely
technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.
Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.
Free courses on Coursera.
Free Courses on EDx Free Courses on Alison
For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.
When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.
i was so sad, i drew a little bat so i wouldn’t be sad. and now i am no longer sad.
here is a little bat to banish your sadness
This nice little bat reminds me of this other nice little bat who was drawn in the 1200s:
This is the only website where I routinely see people say things like “oh this reminds me of something I recently saw from the 1200s”
“Humans are inherently selfish--" Then why do so many cultures value hospitality, to the point of dictating it in their religions? Why is it so common for hosts to offer their visitors their best food, and as much of it as they can? At some point, multiple cultures decided that they knew what it felt like to be alone and vulnerable, and promised each other to never let those who stay with them feel that way. That doesn't sound very "inherently selfish" to me.
"humans are the plague"
No. Humans are animals as much as the fish and the bear. We are pack animals who have survived by strong bonds and community.
Do not buy the lie that humans are inherently evil. Societies can trick you into believing this, but it's not the truth of humanity.
Humans crave being together, sharing together, and thriving together.
Capitalism just wants you to believe we're destined for selfishness.
Today my hobby is insta-recognizing A Certain Video and then scrolling as fast as possible.
I've seen it twice.
I do not need to see it again.
Elon Musk isn't just a Nazi, he's a Nazi so brazen that he feels no need to hide it, and he's right, because he's gotten away with it with no consequences.
I feel sick.
Also - blocking people defending it or offering alternative explanations. I don't want to hear it. Excusing this, as the country seems to have collectively done, will cost lives, and the people who refuse to see it and are excusing it clearly just don't care because they're sure it won't be their lives. Well, I'm Jewish, my kids are Jewish, my mom is Jewish, sorry but I don't have the fucking luxury to pretend this isn't deadly serious.
DO NOT SUPPORT SALVATION ARMY
I can back this up. It isn’t only their shelters.
I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.
My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.
Do not give to the Salvation Army.
Do Not. Give. To. Salvation. Army
My turn.
I’m a wildfire and disaster logistics specialist.
I deal with a lot of agencies who provide disaster relief.
I used to say the Salvation Army’s disaster services were the one (literally the ONE) good thing they did.
They would come in, set up a canteen trailer, make and pass out hot coffee and donated food in a disaster, usually being one of the first agencies to get there and the last to leave.
Then I found out.
Every time they did this, regardless of if they were actually invited or deployed by the agency in charge (usually FEMA, sometimes others) they would SELF-DEPLOY. Meanjng they would just show up. Ok. That’s not TOO bad, sometimes agencies have to take initiative and get there before the red tape is sorted out. BUT. They, after they left at the end of the incident, they would send FEMA or the host agency a BILL. They used one or two paid employees (usually the driver of the truck and a supervisor); and many VOLUNTEERS, but they would bill for EVERYONE’s Labor at standard federal rates. They would bill for the food they distributed even though it was all donated by another agency or private parties. They would bill for the coffee they made and the supplies. Except they would use electricity from the shelter location, water from donations or from the shelter, and in many cases, they would get the coffee and industrial filters DONATED, but bill for them at retail prices.
Don’t FUCKING give to the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army is also ass to the workers. A good number of people join it, naively thinking that it’s doing good, and end up leaving cynical and beaten down. The management is hostile, if not outright abusive, and demand some ridiculous hours of it lower to mid-level staff. Don’t support these people.
Unsettling update
Find better local charities and shelters and give to them instead!
Also just for even more horrific context on the original twitter thread?
Salvation Army reached out to Milknmuffins and asked what shelter she’s at with the promise to address the abuse in it. She…ended up saying where she was. She was thrown out onto the street. It’s also all on Twitter.
They invited her to a personal talk so she could explain the situation in person.
And then they threatened her with a screenshot of a rape-threat made supposedly by her:
And then threw her out into the street while claiming she broke house rules that
So yeah, the Salvation Army is a bunch of entitled assholes that will treat the most vulnerable like shit if they dare try to do anything that makes them look bad
The “Fuck Salvation Army” posts are making the rounds again, so conisder this your reminder: Do. Not. Give. These. Assholes. A. Single. Fucking. Penny.
Do not support them in any way, shape, or form.
‘Tis the season to say FUCK the Salvation Army.
Oh hey, this is interesting (but a year old, idk if anything has changed):
“We reevaluated our cause and community work and made a significant commitment to driving societal change by empowering underrepresented you
Despite all of the pain I'm in (and that's putting it lightly) with everything that's happening I am going to do everything in my power to stay alive. Despite all the anger, anxiety, and devastation I feel I am doing everything I can to stay here. I will do what I can to fight back. I will do what I can. I will not be another statistic.
Bros gotta dance
cops broke patient protection laws and sexually assaulted a trans girl to try and prove her transness so they could discriminate her. ive seen nobody but trans women talking about this. it's an insane violation of a teenager's privacy and safety that will affect for years. but nobody fucking cares because she's a trans woman and not a cis woman you can easily defend by saying she wasn't even trans. btw the report was put it by parents, it seems the students did not care at all.
in other news, the new team same as the old team that's investigating trans healthcare on the nhs were at a conversion therapy convention. these are the people the nhs put in charge of our healthcare. we are fucked and i hope all of them suffer immensely.
[the screenshot is of a post by erin reed that states:
"one. in a horrifying sign for transgender care in the united kingdom, multiple NHS officials tasked with trans care in the UK have decided to speak alongside conversion therapists at an anti-LGBTQ+ hate group conference.
Subscribe to support my journalism. Let's dig in."
the screenshot includes an image of the article's heading.]
The speakers are poised to determine the future of transgender care in the United Kingdom, which has increasingly come under attack.

Remember that what is happening in Gaza is genocide. Remember that everyone who lives there matters.
can i just fucking say, i’m so sick and tired of palestinian men being erased. not just tonight, but in general. mothers, women, children—yes, of course but what about fathers? grandfathers? oldest sons? uncles? brothers?
palestinian men matter too
They will never show the empathy to Palestine that they show to Ukraine.
