[carrionbeast]

extremely lucky cat

[ladynorbert]

I don’t even care if it actually works, I’m mostly reblogging because it’s freaking adorable.

Y’know I reblogged this a bit ago and was saved from financial probation and getting kicked out of school because of it, just mere months from graduation. Got a call from the financial aid advisor telling me that they made a mistake with filing my account (or some other sort of clerical error) and said that, basically, they owe me money. Welp.

[winjennster]

Last time I reblogged the money cat, I won two $100 gift cards at work.

[axmxz]

this is the money cannibal

reblog, and you will have a rich 2017.

[axmxz]

ok this is nuts. since i made this ridiculous thing

i passed a surprisingly hard test to get a new federal contract

a playwright I worked with 5 years ago gave me his new play to translate

a company that owed me money since LAST January finally paid up

my eBay & Etsy stores had their best 5 days ever

and just now, my husband came home and told me the weirdest news. his firm’s accounting office called him in and informed him that he had actually gotten a raise last year but they FORGOT TO GIVE IT TO HIM.

so they apologized profusely & gave him the whole sum for the entire year!

[maderr]

Money Cannibal. Do people not understand that word. Do we know what Hannibal the Cannibal likes to do in his spare time. I’m not sure taking money or anything else where he’s involved is a good idea. By far the strangest money post I have seen yet.

[avegetariancannibal]

Of course people know. It’s right there in the name “money cannibal.” In his spare time he makes money

[bonearenaofmyskull]

Always reblog the money cannibal!

[sithbith]

UPDATE: this works. i found a rupees 500 note in my old drawer of stuff.

the catch though: it’s a demonetized note so I have to figure out how to jump through 1000 hoops to make it legal

[hannibalsbattlebot]

He likes the finer things and so do I. Money Cannibal do your thing

Chiune Sugihara. This man saved 6000 Jews. He was a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania. When the Nazis began rounding up Jews, Sugihara risked his life to start issuing unlawful travel visas to Jews. He hand-wrote them 18 hrs a day. The day his consulate closed and he had to evacuate, witnesses claim he was STILL writing visas and throwing from the train as he pulled away. He saved 6000 lives. The world didn’t know what he’d done until Israel honored him in 1985, the year before he died.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

Why can’t we have a movie about him?

[elasmata]

He was often called “Sempo”, an alternative reading of the characters of his first name, as that was easier for Westerners to pronounce.

His wife, Yukiko, was also a part of this; she is often credited with suggesting the plan. The Sugihara family was held in a Soviet POW camp for 18 months until the end of the war; within a year of returning home, Sugihara was asked to resign - officially due to downsizing, but most likely because the government disagreed with his actions.

He didn’t simply grant visas - he granted visas against direct orders, after attempting three times to receive permission from the Japanese Foreign Ministry and being turned down each time. He did not “misread” orders; he was in direct violation of them, with the encouragement and support of his wife.

He was honoured as Righteous Among the Nations in 1985, a year before he died in Kamakura; he and his descendants have also been granted permanent Israeli citizenship. He was also posthumously awarded the Life Saving Cross of Lithuania (1993); Commander’s Cross Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland (1996); and the Commander’s Cross with Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta (2007). Though not canonized, some Eastern Orthodox Christians recognize him as a saint.

Sugihara was born in Gifu on the first day of 1900, January 1. He achieved top marks in his schooling; his father wanted him to become a physician, but Sugihara wished to pursue learning English. He deliberately failed the exam by writing only his name and then entered Waseda, where he majored in English. He joined the Foreign Ministry after graduation and worked in the Manchurian Foreign Office in Harbin (where he learned Russian and German; he also converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church during this time). He resigned his post in protest over how the Japanese government treated the local Chinese citizens. He eventually married Yukiko Kikuchi, who would suggest and encourage his acts in Lithuania; they had four sons together. Chiune Sugihara passed away July 31, 1986, at the age of 86. Until her own passing in 2008, Yukiko continued as an ambassador of his legacy.

It is estimated that the Sugiharas saved between 6,000-10,000 Lithuanian and Polish Jewish people.

[returnofthejudai]

It’s a tragedy that the Sugiharas aren’t household names. They are among the greatest heroes of WWII. Is it because they were from an Axis Power? Is it because they aren’t European? I don’t know. But I’ve decided to always reblog them when they come across my dash. If I had the money, I would finance a movie about them.

[westsemiteblues]

He told an interviewer:

You want to know about my motivation, don’t you? Well. It is the kind of sentiments anyone would have when he actually sees refugees face to face, begging with tears in their eyes. He just cannot help but sympathize with them. Among the refugees were the elderly and women. They were so desperate that they went so far as to kiss my shoes, Yes, I actually witnessed such scenes with my own eyes. Also, I felt at that time, that the Japanese government did not have any uniform opinion in Tokyo. Some Japanese military leaders were just scared because of the pressure from the Nazis; while other officials in the Home Ministry were simply ambivalent.

People in Tokyo were not united. I felt it silly to deal with them. So, I made up my mind not to wait for their reply. I knew that somebody would surely complain about me in the future. But, I myself thought this would be the right thing to do. There is nothing wrong in saving many people’s lives….The spirit of humanity, philanthropy…neighborly friendship…with this spirit, I ventured to do what I did, confronting this most difficult situation—and because of this reason, I went ahead with redoubled courage.

He died in nearly complete obscurity in Japan. His neighbors were shocked when people from all over, including Israeli diplomatic personnel, showed up at quiet little Mr. Sugihara’s funeral.

[fahrlight]

I will forever reblog this, I wish more people would know about them!

[rhube]

I liked this before when it had way less information. Thank you, history-sharers.

[mousezilla]

Tucked away in a corner in L.A.’s Little Tokyo is a life-sized statue of Chiune, seated on a bench and smiling gently as he holds out a visa. 

The stone next to him bears a quote from the Talmud; “He who saves one life, saves the entire world.”  

I had no idea it existed until a few weeks ago, but it’s since become one of my favorite pieces of public art. 

[antifainternational]

Chiune Sugihara.  Original antifa.

[agirlinjapan]

PBS made a documentary about Chiune Sugihara in 2005. If you’re interested in him, it’s definitely worth checking out. (The PBS link above even has some interactive information to go along with the film.) Ask your local library if they have a copy/can order you one from another library. You won’t be disappointed!

Into the Spider Verse is finally doing what mainstream CGI animation should have been doing for years: creating visuals only possible BECAUSE of the chosen medium.

CGI is a modern crutch. It’s cheaper than 2D by a landslide, and easier to churn out with the support of a studio.

But the actualization of a medium clicks when the medium is being used in ways that only it can. Focusing on rendering every hair, on recreating beautiful photo-realistic landscapes, that’s fine. It’s impressive. But the approach reaches a point where we’re left wondering:

“Why didn’t you just make a live action movie?”

Spider Verse brings the aesthetic, the aim, and the FUN of comics to the screen in a gorgeous way. I’m fucking thrilled that Miles is getting such a beautiful, unique, and frankly revolutionary introduction to the big screen.

REBLOG FOR GOOD JOB GETTING KARMA COME ON GRAB A PIECE

[chessala]

Hello everyone!

I’m not happy to do this but due to life being a bitch, I have to open emergency commissions right now.

Short story short, 4 years ago I took out a loan to finance my Dad’s funeral and have been paying it diligently. Now the bank is trying to screw me over by suspending 400€ of my pay every month starting this month. I should be able to stop this but there isn’t enough time left until payroll for this month. So basically, I’ll be 400€ short when me and my partner already struggle to make ends meet.

So right now, I’m trying to fill this gap urgently as I also use part of my wage to support my mother due to low retirement income.

Without much ado, please see the pricing below. A big thank you to @omgkatsudonplease for letting me use her pricing model. I have also added Euro prices for clarity.

I can be reached via message here or on discord (please send me a PM to get my name)

If you can’t/don’t want to commission me but still help out, you can do so via my ko-fi or paypal.me. Alternatively, I’d be grateful for any signal boost as well! Thank you so, so much for your support!

[chessala]

While I haven’t actually received any commissions until now, I really want to thank everyone that has made a donation so far! I’ve cried for every single one and the 60 EURO that have come together help so very much, I’ll at least be able to pay the electricity bill with that!

That being said, commissions are still open (see pricing above) and I’d be so glad to receive some! June will be a hard month (and my birthday is on the 5th too!) but I’m a bit more hopeful  and still look forward to any commission.

Thank you, sincerely ♥

[chessala]

I’m sorry for posting this again, June is not shaping up to be a good month. One of my bunnies is currently sick on top of everything and I’m terrified for him as I don’t know how to face the vet bill tomorrow.

So many kind people have already helped and i’ll be eternally grateful for that - 91€ in donations alone is so overwhelming.

Commissions are still open though as i haven’t received any and i’m honestly in dire need of them.

Thank you!

Did I ever tell you guys the story of how I got a letter from President Obama on my 13th birthday?

[saltyolivegreen-deactivated2021]

No, please share

[hidingoutbackstage]

Okay, so when Jewish boys/girls turn thirteen, they have a ceremony called a bar/bat mitzvah. It’s a way to symbolize that we have become a young man/young woman, and it’s a big rite of passage for us.

At the time of my bat mitzvah, my uncle, who serves in the navy, had a job at the white house (one time he gave me and my family a tour, but that’s a story for another day). So, he worked at the white house, and it’s not like he was hanging out with the president all the time or anything spectacular, but he did know my uncle by his first name, so that was cool and important.

Anyways, a little while after my bat mitzvah and my 13th birthday, I received this in the mail:

At first I was already like, “whaaa??” My parents didn’t seem to know what it was about either. So I opened it, and, lo and behold:

along with:

So…yeah. My uncle was able to get the former president of the united states to send me a letter congratulating me on my bat mitzvah when I turned 13. Hope you enjoyed my story!
