no one tells you how much of life takes practice. not just writing, painting, running, singing, etc, but practicing how to make friends. how to make the right ones. getting practiced at how to be a good friend, a good sibling, a good person. practice identifying when people haven’t earned that. learning to recognize your right to rage and, eventually, how to offer mercy. so much of life is muscle memory, and i’ve begun to realize there are so many more parts of ourselves to flex and stretch and strengthen than those we’re taught in anatomy lessons

Y’all be safe playing among us. I now its a social game but like don’t give out your name or what school you go to. Like I’m sure people might Not track you down using that information but im 23 years old and I grew up during a time were they made us fear strangers and putting information online.

[enby-life]

For my followers that play Among Us, PLEASE watch out for people like that. If ANYONE you don’t know asks you about your age/where you live/go to school, that’s a red flag. Please be careful, candy call people out if you see them doing this shit.

[lazorsandparadox]

I was in a lobby where someone admitted they were a 16 year old girl and everyone kept asking her for her phone number, her instagram, etc and i got kicked because i kept telling people that it was creepy and they should stop. Seriously do not share anything like that on public servers, especially if youre an underage girl

[lazorsandparadox]

To illustrate how big a deal this is, outside of people getting harassed online, if someone has your phone number, they can track down where you live. If someone has your instagram, they can use it figure out where you live if youre not careful. Ive had do exactly this a couple times so i could send something to the right address. Do not give strangers your social media. Do not give them your age. Do not give them any identifying information.

[aftershocked]

Also! A tactic that was very popular Back In The Day but gen z doesn’t seem to indulge in as much:

Lie!

Whether it’s to some creeper asking too many questions or just some random website you’re signing up for... you can lie, kids. While obviously it’s great to not respond to weirdos seeking your personal information, there are times that for various reasons it’s difficult to avoid giving out any info entirely. So just bullshit. Name, age, gender, location, whatever you want. Just lie about it.

You are not beholden to an honor code with strangers or random websites on the internet. Just fake whatever. It’s not only completely fine, it is many times more advantageous for you in the long run (not only in dodging creeps, but it helps keep your IRL info and online info separate). You can pick and choose w/e online friends you want to be honest with, but signing up for social media or being asked invasive questions by a stranger? Just fuckin make shit up.

Literally lying about your age or location or whatever was so common online 15+ years ago, so that it wasn’t just anyone who could find out your actual private information. Revive this practice.

[insomniac-arrest]

I don’t think any movie will make me feel the same ethereal sense of otherworldly sorrow and disembodied awe as that scene in Lord of the Rings where the loyal son is sent off into a doomed battle to please his vindictive father while Pippin sings a mourning song of his people

I was like 12 and high off this shit

[lotrlocked]

These movies CHANGED ME

[jaskierxyennefer]

This is one of my favourite parts of the whole trilogy. It’s haunting.

[ink-splotch]

And that Pippin takes actually a happy walking song of his people, because Hobbit songs are generally happy and about food and drink and gifts and things, and *transforms* it into a mourning song.

The song is from Fellowship, before all the heavy plot hits and they’re still in the Shire. It’s about walking, and how eventually all the bad things that scare or sadden you will fade away and you’ll be home warm by the fire.

And Pippin takes it, changes the lines, the key, and sings a song that is truly fit for Denethor’s great hall.

These news programs think they’re slick all the time writing the number out long form rather than like 22.2 billion to make it seem like this impossible inconceivable number at first glance but then you realize we spend 22 billion every couple weeks on things that kill people.

[aspiringwarriorlibrarian]

Hey maybe direct action and voting aren’t mutually exclusive? Maybe you can plant a garden and take two minutes to fill out a form to ensure people don’t lose their rights? Maybe you’re feeding a very dangerous narrative by slapping an unnecessary binary onto political action with a “good” and “bad” option and making people feel they have to be limited to one or the other when both are necessary for change?

Because people keep asking: the issue with Halloween is racist costumes.

[ororomunroedontpullout]

People on Facebook got angry at him and accused him of abusing his cat because he had him in the tub “against his will” not knowing that that breed needs daily batheing to keep their coat healthy and it’s wild. He was just being positive and cute and people were shitting on him.

[barefeetinsoil]

You don’t need to bathe your cat every day. They do that themselves.

But once or twice every few months is okay to my understanding

[fragilefox]

Ravioli is a cornish rex, meaning he doesnt have fur, only “down”. cornish rexes lack the guard hairs that repel dust, allergens, grime etc and need to be fully bathed at least once every 7 days & wiped with a warm washcloth 1-2 times daily, more if the house the cat lives in is particularly dusty or has lots of airborne pathogens. it’s the same with Sphynx (hairless) cats, which iAmMoshow (the guy in the vid) also owns! iirc he has two sphynxes, ravioli, and a standard domestic shorthair. he knows what hes doing!

[mockiato-deactivated20200315]

Sometimes… pets don’t know what’s best for them!

[lovecoralei]

but even if the cat didn’t need it, set aside that it does, why would you see this man bathing his pet and being soft and gentle and telling kitty I love you…and think this is animal abuse? like ??

[ororomunroedontpullout]

It’s racism

[ichorandpride]

if a white person were to be doing this, everyone would be going ‘awww how sweet’ over it and it would immediately be featured on The Dodo’s youtube and twitter accounts

“When I got my first cat, it changed me. There is something about holding a cat that makes your anger melt away. And if someone does something that upsets me—I have to remember my cat. I can’t keep my cat if I get into trouble.”

[catbountry]

“I asked if Major Cabanaw had concerns for the safety of the cats. “Of course, we always want to ensure the safety of the cats, and the staff is great about keeping an eye out for them. But mostly, it’s the offenders keeping them safe. I have never once seen an offender kill his own cat. We screen them to be sure they have no history of animal abuse. But I’ll tell you this, there was a guy killed in here because he had spit soda pop onto someone else’s cat.””

Wow.

So I live in Scotland, a country with free universal healthcare, and this post made me curious about how much that actually costs us. Turns out, roughly 4% of our income tax goes to the National Health Service. For me that’s £10 a month. The equivalent of $13. I have spent more than that on a pizza.

[sniperct]

This is literally the argument I use the most

[antique-scarecrow]

I pay $375+ for healthcare a month

[thebibliosphere]

I’m closer to $800 a month 🙃 The US system is abhorrently broken, and it was designed that way.

[linddzz]

Vote Early: Trump is pushing for the idea that mail on ballots cant be trusted for a reason. Mail in ballots are counted AFTER the rest. Statistically, people voting in person are more likely to think Covid is fake. Aka, Trumplicans. Mail-ins are more likely to be for Biden. Trump will very likely claim himself the winner on election night if the first round has him in the lead, then will declare all votes afterwards to be fraudulent. If you can, mail it in early. Find out how to mail in early. If you cant, still vote anyway in any way that you can.

Vote for fucking Biden. Ginsberg is gone. Voting for Biden was already the quick emergency move to stop a wound bleeding. That wound is now gushing. Before any of your grand revolutions we need a goddamn tourniquet NOW.

I'm sick of being nice about it. Yes I'll guilt you. Yes ill yell. Trump is setting up how to fully steal this election and is floating the idea of him "deserving" a third term. The time for "that can't happen bc he cant do that!" is long fucking past.

Your revolution will cost far more lives than Biden will. You think the USA is already fascist? Fine. You've also only seen a start. This is mild compared to what Trump wants and what the Republicans will give to him so they can secure power.

Get the tourniquet on. Vote Biden.

[mzminola]

Additionally: if we get Biden AND flip the senate blue, guess what that means? It means all that progressive legislation you want will make it to the floor, get passed, and get SIGNED INTO LAW.

Whether Biden personally is progressive or not is a sidenote. You can bet your ass he’s going to sign and support all the progressive policies Democrats and other progressives vote yes on. 

Vote Democrat, vote the whole ticket, and then keep telling your reps what you want!

[richard-nixon-official]

please please please vote blue, this is not a joke, we are all in danger

[capricorn-0mnikorn]

Well, there’s no guarantee that all the progressive legislation we want will be passed into law. But it is true that since the Democrats took control of the House, they’ve passed 395 bills, and sent them over to the Senate to be voted on.

And Mitch McConnell has boasted about not letting those bills come up for a vote -- just ‘cause he don’t wanna.

Three

Hundred, and

Ninety-Feckin’-Five!

And that’s just what the count was in February. Remember February? So maybe not everything we could ever want, ever. But a whole buttload of what we what.

Just as he didn’t let Obama’s pick for the Supreme Court even get a hearing in front of the Senate. Because February was too close to the election (but nearly October isn’t?!).

I won’t say McConnell is actually a fascist -- I don’t know what he actually believes, or whether his ulterior motives go beyond his personal ambition, to the destiny of his nation, and/or his race, or not. But he’s very, very skilled at using the mechanisms of our democratic government to dismantle the workings of our democracy.

And if we flip the Senate (all we need to do is switch four seats), he will be out of power.

If you like to think of yourself as someone who would punch a Nazi, if you got within an arm’s length of one, then the least you could do is vote to deprive people acting like Nazis the power to do harm.

As I write this, it is September 22, 2020.

The federal government doesn’t have a budget.

There’s no way they’re passing a budget -- a whole, entire budget -- in eight days, but they *might* pass a continuing resolution.  The House has passed its CR already, the Senate has to pass it or revise it and send it back to the House, and eventually it’s got to land on the Resolute Desk so the current occupant of the Residence can ooze on it and make it law.

If they can’t get a continuing resolution in place, the federal government will have to shut down until one gets passed.  And a federal government shutdown is BAD.

Folks, we’ve been staggering from continuing resolution to continuing resolution, funding the government at existing levels for another 90 days, for feels like going on ten years now.  Paul Ryan was Speaker of the House after the Tea Party revolution in 2010 -- his budget never got passed (because it was a granny starver).  The Republicans had control of both chambers of Congress after 2016 -- they struggled to pass a budget.  THE REPUBLICANS WERE IN CHARGE AND THEY STRUGGLED TO PASS A BUDGET TO FUND THE GOVERNMENT.

Please flip the Senate.  Please.  I’m so fucking tired of chronically living with the prospect of a federal government shutdown.

[lyricwritesprose]

Trump says that if he is given a second term, he will eliminate Social Security and disability benefits.

I don’t know how many people that would kill.  I’m a bit too burned out on the subject to look it up right now.  But it would be a lot.

Vote Biden.  Flip the Senate.  Vast numbers of lives depend on it.  I’m really, really not exaggerating.  (Oh, how I wish I was exaggerating.)

To folks arguing in notes whether this trend is “intentional” programming……. It literally doesn’t matter. It is a media trope for bad reasons and encourages a bad outlook in which a wildly dangerous and morally corropt character is sympathized with, which, in turn, results in people maybe more forgiving of matching behavior in real life. While you argue over whether it’s “really propaganda” it is objectively having the effect of propaganda… And it isn’t really far fetched anyway. The government has had movies greenlit many times that they hoped would affect their public image in a desirable way.

Hogwarts ~ 1978 ✨ 🍫 

I haven’t been able to draw in a little while, so thought I would draw everybody’s favourite werewolf to get back into the swing of it- because I will never not love Remus John Lupin. This colouring style is sort of new for me, and I’m really pleased with how it came out! (I guess this means I have to do a marauders series, huh?)
