Samus from Metroid dressed as Dante from Devil May Cry 3
Finally finished my Devil Hunter Samus drawing! I was just in the mood to draw this crossover again.
what must it be like to be a usamerican and not understand anything
to explain this for those out of the know: iran has been attacking usamerican military bases that are in all these countries. these are the bases from which the usa has been launching strikes into iran. they are not simply attacking willy nilly, as stewart liked to imply. they are defending themselves, trying to reduce the usas ability to continue attacking them.
to add, even when they attack, like, seemingly unrelated places in dubai and abu dabi, these are places where gulf states that host us bases but also have promised foreign Capitalist that they can safely park their Capital in these cities. Bombing these data centers et al. shows the gulf state that the risk of hosting US bases is too great for their livelihoods. if the lesson is learned and appropriate actions are taken, this is going to make the region much safer for not just for Iran, but Yemen, Lebanon, etc., in the long run.
This is neither stupidity nor ignorance on the part of American media. This guy is not saying this shit because he genuinely has no idea why Iran is doing what it’s doing. He is purposefully framing Iran's measured and justified reaction as deranged and nonsensical, as impossible to understand, as the aimless flailing of a wounded animal, to paint an image in the mind of the average USAmerican(who are often actually uneducated about the world) of a dangerous rogue state that cannot be allowed to exist. To frame the US and Israel’s genocidal assault and war of aggression against the Iranian people as inevitable and warranted—even if they supposedly ‘disagree’ and are ‘greatly concerned’ with how Trumpenyahu et al. are going about it.
When the empire wants regime change in a sovereign state that won’t bend the knee to their interests, both sides of the mainstream political spectrum, in media and otherwise, will put aside their 'differences' and dedicate themselves entirely to manufacturing consent for it, from whichever angle sticks.
I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD
Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️
Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.
Love that this is well beyond 7000 people now and still going
@leavescrown Exactly! It’s a beautiful gift. Martin and Bosco out there travelling around the Tumblr community, continually making new friends.
@sseanettles
#hello again martin and bosco!! sending you boys round for another go :)
Reading your tag made me laugh out loud. It’s like two old friends unexpectedly stopped by your porch for a quick visit. XD
I’ll always reblog Martin and Bosco when they splash across my dash, because of Reasons.
What’s loved, lives.
I hope this isn't a controversial opinion, but I would rather have my tax dollars go to people fraudulently using SNAP benefits than have a single person go hungry. And I mean real fraud, not selling food stamps to buy tampons or any of that. I wouldn't care if half of the people receiving SNAP benefits didn't really need them if it meant everybody in the US had enough food to eat. It's food stamps. That's the exact kind of thing taxes are supposed to be for. Food isn't supposed to be a privilege or a luxury.
The ideal scenario, of course, would be that 100% of people do not require food assistance because food is necessary to live.
I’ve been thinking a bit about Harry Potter again and specifically why it feels so different to me from other bad things I’ve enjoyed.
I’m trained in literary criticism, I personally study a lot of stuff from people with stupid opinions in my freetime, including opinions about people like me, I enjoy reading in general. What is it about Harry Potter that makes me just not want to come back to it?
I think it’s kind of how it became a part of culture for a while. And at the time it wasn’t criticized as heavily as other things I witnessed, at least from my child’s perspective. Poking holes in media has been a favorite pastime of mine for long time, including with Harry Potter, but the fundamental emotional core of the thing never quite felt flawed.
Yes Rowling put some stupid things in there but that’s to be expected from a white woman in Britain who has had most of her life being taken care of for her. At the end of the day, the intentions always felt solid even if the execution was less than perfect.
Then came the slow eroding of her reputation. I picked up on it before most people did. The moment she went “mask off” in 2020 I and many others were surprised that people saw it that way. She’d been consorting with transphobes for years at that point. In online trans spaces she’d been a known radfem apologist for a long time.
But then she got worse. Like she started materially hurting people with her money. And that’s about when to me I really started to get sick when thinking about Harry Potter.
It’s like. She’s not just a privately bigoted person who accidentally made a story about misfits finding a place that they belonged. She’s taking the power that the marketing machine behind that series granted her to cause active harm right now.
It’s at about that point I no longer found myself with the ability to turn on my critical brain trained in the ways of lit analysis or my casual consumer brain just liking fun things even if they’re bad. I just felt a pit in my stomach. I moved the family copies of the Harry Potter books from my room into the communal family bookshelf and then into my dad’s room because I couldn’t stand looking at them anymore.
It’s not just that Rowling is an author with bad opinions. I’ve read plenty of those. It’s not just that the series isn’t what I thought it was. That’s par for the course of most things you read as a child and revisit as an adult. It’s the combined power of her and her brand being everywhere and inescapable and her currently using the power that gives her for evil. Not only was the core of the series disingenuous but the series itself is currently actively causing people harm and normies just casually walk by it at Barnes and noble vaguely wondering if they should buy a mug for their cousin not knowing or not caring what that actually represents.
I can read dumb shit. I can handle my beloved childhood media being worse than I remember it. I can even handle my favorite authors turning out to be absolute garbage but the level of how all this happened with Harry Potter almost has no equivalent that I can think of because it is so big and so destructive and so intertwined with its author in the way that very few other things are.
The author cannot be dead with Harry Potter because she keeps coming back in to twist the knife. She has implanted herself into the series itself so firmly that trying to remove her from it make the entire thing implode on itself into something else entirely. And she uses that firm rooting that she’s established to materially harm people. People like me just one continent over. I’m sure she’d also interfere in other countries politics if she legally could.
It’s like. You can’t think critically through the full scope and ramifications of something when she hasn’t even stopped twisting that knife of hers. I can playfully stick my tongue out at shakespeares bad opinions because he isn’t alive right now spending his money on bad things. And even most authors alive now don’t have financial knives big enough to make much of a difference.
Rowling though? She can just throw a million dollars at something. It’s no wonder I can’t look at those books. My siblings are being threatened with them. It’s a lot easier to study a knife in a museum than one that’s currently being held to someone’s throat.
I don’t think I can be trusted to ever study this particular knife objectively ever again. Because I’ve seen what it can do. I’ve seen where it’s pointed. I can’t really have rational academic thoughts while I’m watching that.
Thank you. This phrased it better than I’ve been able to
That's exactly what it feels like seeing new HP editions in the window of a bookshop. It's the reason my HP books (recently along with the Neil Gaimann books) live in the part of my bookshelf that has doors, because I can't look at them without feeling devastated. It's honestly surreal how all of that has happened and is still actively happening and the general public just... doesn't know or care.

hey click that keep reading button ↙️
here is a list with everything australia is banning for minors under the age of 16.
Lego Play and Steam among the unexpected additions to the list that includes Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X
some kids won’t be able to contact their parents with the loss of whatsapp. they are banning basically all socials for kids. strict parents? you will only be able to stay at home and do nothing because there’s no way you’ll go outside. there’s no way you’ll talk to your friends /dir
they are banning LEGO PLAY. that is unnecessary.
if you are an australian citizen PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION
e-petitions
social media apps are rolling out ai age detection. do you think they want to go through the hassle of getting everyone to sign in with their correct ages? NO. they want you to upload photos of your face, and photos of your passport.
you know social media apps have the ability to send your data to third party companies, why would they not do it for this?
a world where kids’ information is easily accessible on the internet, even just the statement that they are under a certain age DOES NOT PROTECT THEM AT ALL.
they will have filtered access to recent news only. they will have no variety in their opinions. whatever the australian government provides them will be their only information to rely on.
if you are NOT an australian citizen, reblogs will help. thank you.

Awesome! Hope you’re happy somewhere, Chicken Nugget!
I have missed this post so much! Let’s all celebrate Chicken Nugget!
do you guys realize that,,,, chicken nugget is one of those butterflies that is perfectly half female and half male?? nugget’s left wing is typical of a female spice bush swallowtail and the right wing is typical of a male
a gender role smashing icon
I wondered why the wings looked different
Incredible
intersex icon
He’s a bilateral gnandromorph!!
WE STAN?????
chicken nugget said intersex rights
This whole post is wonderful, but I think a lot of people don’t realise just how rare bilateral gynandromorphs are. Research has shown that only approximately 1 in 6,000 butterflies is a bilateral gynandromorph! So thanks so much @oddity-txt for sharing this wonderful being with us!

Absolutely blessed post
Mastercard and visa have reported to a couple news outlets that they are currently being swamped with calls and complaints. Keep up the pressure and try to (politely) insist that you leave a complaint via phone instead of letting the rep direct you to emails. It's way easier to be overwhelmed by a much smaller number of calls so each one counts for a bit more!
self-care phrases to boost your confidence
this shit ain't nothin to me man
I'll fucking kill you
.
Here's a script you can use:
"Hi, I'm a MasterCard/Visa/PayPal customer. I think it sucks/do not like/am disappointed that MasterCard/Visa/PayPal is pressuring companies like Steam and Itch into censoring adult content. Frankly, it is none of MasterCard/Visa/PayPal's business what kind of harmless, fictional video games I want to play, and it is not their place to block transactions for adult content. It's frustrating, inconvenient, and honestly makes me want to switch banks/services so that I don't have to use MasterCard/Visa/PayPal. Thank you for your time."
how are you people alive.
theres an old cold war joke that goes like this: a KGB agent and a CIA agent meet up for drinks off the clock, and after a few drinks they start to talk shop. the CIA agent extols the strength of the Party's propaganda, "All your citizens believe the propaganda! it's incredible! So little dissent." and the KGB responds, "No my friend no, we are good at what we do, but you are the true masters of the art. No one at all questions your propaganda!" to which the CIA agent says, confused, "What do you mean? We don't have propaganda?"
