Saw this fanart of arcade gannon and was immediately blasted back to when I was thirteen and saved every image of michael fassbender I could to my iPod touch and I found the exact reference picture they used to trace him in under a minute. Needless to say my brain damage knows no bounds

[riben-deactivated20230922]

Every person id ever interacted with until that moment had taught me the necessary skills

truly life is one great beautiful tapestry

We were doing an activity where the kids got to make a playbill for a musical about themselves and all the other kids were like “character list: mommy, daddy, me, my brother, my best friend” “scenes: I get a puppy, first day of school, my baby sister is born”

But one little girl was like “oh, it’s a musical about ME you say” and the character list was all the other girls in the class cast as her body parts, and a story about how her body works.

“Kaylee is nice so she will be the heart. Lily is my kidneys. Sapphire is the lungs.”

She surreptitiously showed me that the girl who kept taking the crayons she was using was cast specifically as “left buttcheek” and I had to pretend like that wasn’t the funniest thing I’d ever seen.

I’ve been seeing a lot of Scooby Doo on my dash lately. My friend discovered what he describes as “Shaggy eviscerating an ape”

Americans can never talk about japan in a normal way either they go full fetishy orientalist while forgetting japanese includes Real people, or they blatantly forget that the USA is the primary reason why japan sucks so much. Like americans STRONGLY shaped japan's politics and culture by basically threatening them with higher forms of mass destruction multiple times in history like of all people, USA americans shut up. Meji era is on you and so is the bombs.

[reshirfuse]

Like some "progressive" americans will see "Oh japan is imperial country so we can mask our hardly buried racism while trying to be progressive" like no. You can't. Cause America did all that shit. Twice. The rot came from the USA. Japan was an isolationist country still swinging around swords and minding their business till the USA came and basically said change your government and give us military positioning over china or we will shoot you all. America made japan feel so frugal and ashamed that japan felt like they had no choice but to basically copy the west's shitty homework because that is "the advanced way to live." Because the USA made them feel like their whole culture and way of life was shameful and primitive. The japanese said "there is no past only the future." "We have no culture." No one talks about how much shame the USA made the japanese feel about their whole existence.

And now white ass americans star in samurai movies and shit and have basically all the culture they made japan evict to the point where the whole culture of japan exists more as a famtasy for white people rather than something that actually has people and real history attached to it. Japan's culture is not even theirs anymore.

[reshirfuse]

and combine this with the eastern technology scare racism that the west funneled into their cyberpunk genres of "Asia will take over the world with a dystopian tech revolution," when a large influencer of making eastern countries including japan, progress faster is in fact, the USA, after the USA (and europe) came in with mass weapons of destruction and made asians feel primitive and backwards.

Like. Whiter countries are the primary reason behind their own dumbass fears of the east. It just so happens when you barge in with guns, you influence other countries to retaliate or evolve to meet you in some way back. How can this be. Shocker.

In case anyone hasn't heard, the cyclospora outbreak affecting tons of people in the US right now is coming from Taylor Farms produce. Best to stay away from bagged lettuce and prepared salads completely right now, but especially the ones mentioned in the screenshot:

Taylor Farms Earthbound Farms Little Salad Bar (Aldi) Marketside (Walmart) Kroger House Brand Target private label greens Costco salads and greens etc Trader Joe's chopped salad kits and fresh produce Fast food: McDonalds, Taco Bell, (Yum! Brands), Chipotle, Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC, Olive Garden, Top Golf, Red Lobster, Burger King, etc.

This is not the first time I've heard about a Taylor Farms foodborne illness outbreak. I stopped eating their salads after reading a description of the conditions in their facilities. Doesn't sound like they've improved anything.

We need a fully funded and staffed FDA, and regulations with teeth - and that's exactly what we don't have under Trump. To make things worse, the CDC is no longer tracking these outbreaks. We're on our own.

transmisogyny genuinely does start eroding your ability to understand extremely basic ideas about feminism, like "outfits are not consent" and "men materially benefit from patriarchy even if they are underprivileged in other areas". you need to actually listen to trans women who point out transmisogynist behavior or you will become jk rowling.

[redstonedust]

funny thing about anxiety is sometimes it kind of breaks your sense of danger. like i am known for repeatedly putting myself in situations that make my friends go "bro you couldve died. werent you scared?" and the answer is 👍 yjeah. i did it scared. i do everything scared. i didnt know that was the actual important kind of scary because i usually have to ignore my fears to function in society. it will happen again. watch out.

[darkspaceboytoy]

Look I think it is commendable to write a book. That takes work no matter what. But man are there some bad ones out there.

[darkspaceboytoy]

Folks I won’t say it again all authors must be killed

[marciaillust]

curious. anyway,

[tlirsgender]

Weird peeve time. Calling lab grown gemstones “fake” is stupid because it’s the same shit just not formed naturally. An artificially grown diamond is the same shit as a natural diamond it is the exact same material bro it’s all fuckign carbon

[tlirsgender]

It’s carbon it’s pretty and it didn’t involve slave labor what’s not to love??? Hi I’m having geology opinions tonight apparently. And I’m right

[tlirsgender]

There is so much bullshit in the diamonds industry to be mad about tbh. It also ties into the bullshit of the wedding industry as a whole but we don’t have the time to unpack all that

[val-ritz]

not even going to lie, the day i learned i could get like 15 lab grown rubies the size of dimes for $20 is the day i spent $20 on rubies, and i have never once said to myself “man, i wish this cost $1,600 and the lives of eight children to produce”

[fuckyeahmineralogy]

We are a pro-lab-grown mineral blog here, not only is it massively cheaper but massively more ethical as well in many cases.

[thegreenpea]

another very cool lab grown gem is Moissanite. It has a 9.25 on the mohs hardness scale where diamond is a 10. Moissanote also has a 2.69 refractive index in comparison to diamond’s 2.419 and here is the difference 

and the best thing about moissanite? It is all lab grown and it costs only a fraction of what diamond costs. So fuck the diamond indsutry and buy lab grown gems which cost significantly less

[rubixpsyche]

Also it’s just cool to think of some mad scientist lookin person doing shit against the law of the universe and making pretty gems for you. Like cmon. This shouldnt be allowed probably. But humans really be like on gOD i want some shiny an just started MAKIN em

[zathechaosgod]

for years people wanted alchemy, well now we have alchemy and we’re making gemstones out of it and suddenly “it doesn’t count” anymore

wildflowers thriving on the side of the road i see you i love you girls
