I did it. After a lifetime of using light mode on all my devices, I switched to dark mode. My eyes just can’t take it anymore, and after a few days of using it, I decided dark mode was actually kind of cozy and nice. So it was time to update my light mode art with a new version!
I’m not going to do one of those “REBLOG OR YOU’RE A HORRIBLE PERSON!!!!!!1!” posts, but please, if you have the time, read about Robert Roberson.
Neurodivergent people, we especially need to pay attention to this. This is a man who was sent to death row because he appeared too “stoic”. He was formally diagnosed with autism after. I’m sure you already know that this is only one part of a larger pattern of flaws. Fellow victims of the US’ crap legal system, we need to say something. I don’t care if you think it won’t work, we still have to give them hell. They may have power, but they need to know damn well we won’t sit by and let people die.
Greg Abbott’s number (yes, of course it’s Texas) is 361-264-9653. Give him a call if you have the time. If calls freak you out, text. If you don’t want to do that, sign the petition. You have the chance to change history right now.
Most importantly, take care of yourself. All this tragedy drains the soul, especially when it hits close to home. After you’re done with this post, drink some water and watch something nice or, better yet, step away from the screen for a bit. You deserve it and more.
today's vetted fundraisers. please please continue to share and donate in whatever capacities you're able. these families just want to live.

Save My Family from the War Nightmare in Gaza🙏❤
Hello, my name is Mohammed Taysir, I am 34 years old, and I am writing to you these words from the heart of devastation and suffering in Gaza. My life and my family's life were once normal, filled with hope and hard work, until war came and destroyed everything.
Hello, my name is Mohammed Taysir, I am 34 years old, and I am writing … Mohammed Alanqar needs your support for Save My Family from the War
Before the war, I worked as a mobile programmer, and my wife was a schoolteacher. We had two young children, Yazan (2.5 years old)❤ and Jud (3 years old).❤ We were living a simple but happy life, dreaming of a bright future for our children.
The war came and changed everything. Our home was destroyed, we lost our jobs, and we became homeless.
But the war changed everything.Our home was destroyed, we lost our jobs, and we became homeless. We fled from northern Gaza to Rafah, and then to Deir al-Balah, in search of safety. But safety in Gaza has become nearly impossible. Death and destruction are everywhere, and our children are living a never-ending nightmare. Opportunities for education and recreation have disappeared, and we are suffering from poverty and hopelessness.
We are now seeking an opportunity to live in a safe place Gaza. However, this is very costly, and we are in desperate need of support. We want to provide our children with a dignified life and a better future. We believe that humanity and mercy still exist, and that there are those who will respond to our painful plea.
Every donation, no matter how small, 5 $ or 10$ or 50$ will have a big impact on our lives. Your donations will help us cover the costs of travel and living in a safe country. We want to start a new life away from fear and destruction, and give our children a chance to dream and hope again.
Hello, my name is Mohammed Taysir, I am 34 years old, and I am writing … Mohammed Alanqar needs your support for Save My Family from the War
Thank you
from the bottom of our hearts❤ for your support and standing with us during these difficult times. We believe that goodness still exists, and that there are those who share our hope for a better life.
❤🙏🍉🌷🌹❤
Mohammad Taysir is new to Tumble and he has a beautiful family.
Mohammad has asked for our help to share his GoFundMe campaign to support his family and save them from the war in Gaza.
I hope everyone will reblog this post.

Just a war. We lost friends. We lost loved ones. We lost our homes, our families, and our neighbors. We lost safety and peace. We lost healthy food. We lost interest. We lost everything in this war, but we are still hoping to start a new life. I am asking you for help of $10 for each person. Maybe we will reach... Our goal is to quickly, hand in hand, help each other and create a beautiful life 😔🍉
Please don’t ignore!
Mahmoud ( @ma7moudgaza2 ) couldn’t post this himself because of the lack of connection, and asked me to share. This campaign has been verified by @el-shab-hussein. Please, it could be as little as $5 or as much as $100—every little bit counts, as Mahmoud is still nearly 24,000 away from his goal.
There is something in the word “summit” that tells you, “Get up.” I am Mahmoud Ham… Annie Hall needs your support for Help Mahmoud's Family
Please continue to share and donate!!!!
From River to Sea Palestine Will be Free🍉
“If anyone needs to go camping in my state…” “If anyone needs to visit their aunt/cousin/friend…”
STOP. STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, S T O P.
DO NOT VOLUNTEER TO HOST RANDOM STRANGERS. DO NOT AGREE TO BE HOSTED BY A RANDOM STRANGER.
DO NOT PUBLICLY POST THAT YOUR HOUSE WILL BE AN ABORTION SAVE HAVEN. OFFICIAL NETWORKS TO DO THIS ALREADY EXIST, NETWORKS THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO BACKGROUND CHECK, AND SHIELD THEIR VOLUNTEERS FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Even IF you personally know every person you’re offering this to and know with 100% certainty that they’re legit: YOU HAVE JUST CREATED A POTENTIALLY LEGALLY DAMNING DIGITAL PAPER TRAIL.
I know how obnoxious this is to say, but please: reblog this. I see these posts a lot, and I know most of you have good intentions. But these unoffical auntie networks are dangerous, both for those trying to help, and those seeking help. Law enforcement sees you. Violent anti-abortion extremists see you.

Top 10 Reasons to know Sign Langauge:
1. You can communicate through windows 2. Sign language is a 3-D Language 3. You can sign with your mouth full 4. Hearing parents can communicate with their Deaf child 5. You can sign underwater 6. Sign Language is a neat way to express yourself 7. You can communicate across a room or via mirror without shouting 8. Sign language is beautiful 9. You can make friends with Deaf people 10. Sign language brings together Hearing & Deaf people
Also if you really want to learn most deaf people are so happy that you are interested in learning and will be super patient and work with you.
And it’s a really great thing to be able to do for any job because imagine having to go everywhere with someone that can translate for you or with paper to write or trying to read lips and just going to grab a cup of coffee and Hey, the barista knows sign language. They aren’t great but you get to speak with them and order your coffee in the way that’s natural to you like that would just make your day. Or a teacher that can talk and sign so classes don’t have to divide?? Or a therapist that can sign?? Hearing people signing 2k15 honestly.
I’ve been learning to help my HoH/deaf customers, so have some links!

Okay so I need to clarify some of these deities because many of them are waaaay to generalized. Especially in Nigeria. There are over 210 ethnic groups within Nigeria and many of these Nigerian deities don’t belong to the same groups. Many of them are not called gods, they are called Òrìṣà (Orisha) and they belong to the religious practices of my ancestors, the Yoruba. They are:
• Aje: female Òrìṣà of wealth and prsoeperity
• Babaluaye (traditional name O̩balúayé): male Òrìṣà of pestilence and disease, as well as healing
• Egungun (sometimes just called Egun): embodiment of our ancestors spririts and guidance (Ọya is a sesperate Òrìṣà who guards and nurtures Egungun; see Ọya)
•Èṣù-Elegba: You have this Òrìṣà listed as two separate deities, Eshu and Elegua, when in reality, they are two aspect of the same Òrìṣà. Elegua is the name for this deity only in Santeria. His traditional Yoruba name is Elegba, Èṣu (Eshu), or Èṣù-Elegba. He is the Òrìṣà of the crossroads, keeper of às̩e̩, and the trickster.
• Obatala: Male Òrìṣà of purity, of justice, and of the white clothe. The creator of humans.
• Ọ̀ṣọ́ọ̀sì (Ochosi): Male Òrìṣà of the hunt and of the wilds
• Oduduwa: NOT a goddess, a male Òrìṣà. He is the creator of land and the earth. The first to come from heaven to the earth. Personified in our ancestor, Oduduwa, who was an actual living being.
• Ògún: Male Òrìṣà of war, of technology, and of iron.
• Oko: the Òrìṣà of agriculture and the harvest.
• Olorun: The supreme Creator of the universe; father of all Òrìṣà. Also called the sky father.
• Olokun: androgynous Òrìṣà of the deep ocean, secrets, and prosperity
• Orunmila: Òrìṣà of wisdom, divination, and foresight; manifested in Orunmila, an actual living prophet of the Yoruba
• Ọ̀sanyìn: male Òrìṣà of the forest and of herbs
• Ọṣun: Morher Òrìṣà of freshwater rivers, love, beauty, and fertility.
• Ọya: To say that Ọya is simply the goddess of destruction is an egregious oversimplification. Ọya is the Òrìṣà of violent storms, winds, and transformation, not destruction. What is destroyed clears the way for new and better growth. She is a warrior Òrìṣà who protects the resting place of our ancestors. You’ve also separated Ọya from her other name, Yansan. Yansan is simply the name given to Ọya in the African diaspora. They are the same deity.
• Shakpana: Male Òrìṣà of Small Pox
Excluded from your list but very prominent Òrìṣà in the Yoruba tradition are:
•Aganjú: Òrìṣà is desserts and volcanic activity; father/brother to Ṣàngó)
• Erinle: male Òrìṣà of physical fitness, health, and medince
• Ibeji: The sacred twins
• Ọbá: female Òrìṣà of marriage and domesticity
• Òṣùmàrè (Oshumare): The androgynous Òrìṣà of direct action and movement; the Òrìṣà of the “Kundalini”; guardian of children and controller of the umbilical cord
• Orí: literally means head; the metaphysical manifestation of ones destiny and spiritual intuition.
• Ṣàngó (Shango): The male Òrìṣà of fire and thunder (you have oshe listed as a god in your list, whereas Oshe is the name given to the double sided axe that Ṣàngó carries); manifest in a once living Yoruba king, Ṣàngó.
• Yemọja: the mother of all Òrìṣà, the Òrìṣà of salt water lakes, the ocean, motherhood, and the womb.
Most of the Òrìṣà in your list are oversimplified and misgendered, and simply putting (Nigeria) next to them doesn’t denote the cultural practice they belong to, the Yoruba. Not all Nigerians revere the Òrìṣà, as not all Nigerians are Yoruba.
I’d like to remind anyone reading this list that the Òrìṣà are the deities of a CLOSED religion of the Yoruba people and other Yoruba-based traditions (i.e. Santeria). If you wish to invoke their names and aspects you must be initiated. At the very least, research them so that you don’t oversimplify or generalize them. To do otherwise is to appropriate my culture.

I was gonna do this after reading this post but you took care of it, thank you. Asé
Awesome Sites and Links for Writers
Just about every writer out there has several go-to websites that they use when it comes to their writing. Be it for creativity, writer’s block, to put you in the mood or general writing help. These are mine and I listed them in hopes that you’ll find something that you’ll like or find something useful. I’ve also included some websites that sounded interesting, but I haven’t tried out yet.

OmmWriter – is for Mac OS X, a free simple text processor that gives you a distraction free environment. So you can focus only on your writing without being tempted or distracted by other programs on your computer. They are currently working on a Windows version of their software as well, so keep an eye out for that if you’re interested.
FocusWriter – is another free distraction-free writing application that keeps your writing space simple and clean without sacrificing functionality. It includes a daily goal tracker—work count and time spent writing—spell checking, real-time feedback on variables like word and page count, and tabbed document browsing. The great thing about this is that it's available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Q10 – is a free portable distraction-free writing tool for Windows. The interface includes nothing but a tiny bar at the bottom that displays the character, word, and page count—you can toggle the bar off for a totally distraction free workspace.
Evernote – is a free app for your smartphone and computer that stores everything you could possibly imagine losing track of, like a boarding pass, receipt, article you want to read, to do list, or even a simple typed note. The app works brilliantly, keeping everything in sync between your computer, smartphone, or tablet. It’s definitely a useful app for writers when you have ideas on the go.
Storybook – this open source software can make it easier to manage your plotlines, characters, data, and other critical information while penning a novel.

Sigil – is ideal for e-book authors because it's a free EPUB editor with a stack of essential features.
YWriter5 – is a free word processor and is designed for Windows XP, Vista and beyond. It's a small but very comprehensive tool which helps you to plan your novel. It breaks your novel into chapters and scenes, helping you keep track of your work while leaving your mind free to create. You can set up deadlines, for instance, and the program’s Work Schedule report will let you know how much you’ll have to do, each day, to finish on time. You can even enter your characters, locations and items and freely organize them into scenes. This definitely sounds like it’ll be useful for NaNoWriMo writers.
Kingsoft Office (WPS Office) – is an office suite for Microsoft Windows, Linux, iOS and Android OS. The basic version is free to use, but a fully featured professional-grade version is also available. This software allows users to view, create and share office documents that are fully compatible with dozens of document formats, including Microsoft PowerPoint, Word and Excel. In other words, the format is similar to a Microsoft Word document (.DOC or .DOCX file) and supports formatted text, images, and advanced page formatting. Kingsoft Writer documents can be converted to Microsoft Word *.doc files in the software.

Coffitivity – a site that provides three background noises: Morning Murmur (a gentle hum), Lunchtime Lounge (bustling chatter), and University Undertones (campus cafe).

It’s also available as an android app, iOS app, and for Mac desktop.

8tracks – is an internet radio website and everyone can listen for free, well it use to be completely free. Unlike other music oriented social network such as Pandora or Spotify, 8tracks doesn’t have commercial interruption (that’s if you get 8tracks Plus). Users create free accounts and can either browse the site and listen to other user-created mixes for as long as they like, and/or they can create their own mixes. It’s a perfect place to listen to other writer’s playlist, share yours or find music for specific characters or moods. Note: Joining is still free, however you’re now limited to 1 hour of free listening for each week (or more depending on how much people like your mixes). If you want unlimited access it’s $30 per year or $5.00 a month.
Playmoss – with 8tracks no longer having free unlimited listening and no commercial interruptions many people looked for an alternative and Playmoss is what 8tracks use to be. It has all the same basic features that 8tracks has, only with extra goodies like unlimited skips, able to see the entire tracklist before playing, start at any point in the playlist, see how many playlists contain a certain song and even collaborate playlists with other people.

WALS
Linguasphere - Kind of like WALS, if I remember correctly, but not quite. (Note: The website is in French.)

Japanese
Online Japanese textbook that comes highly recommended but that I have not personally tried.
Culture, culture, and more culture.
Namasensei’s Japanese lessons on YouTube. Goes kind of slowly, and it’s unique because the guy doing the tutorials is usually fairly drunk when he records. But he is living in Japan and has some interesting advice as well as a good understanding of the language.
Japanese from Zero on YouTube - amazing collection of videos ranging from pure grammar lessons to questions and useful explanations

Hindi
Hindi script - really good animations of stroke order and how to write as well as providing instructions on writing.
Quillpad looks like a really great tool for typing in Hindi as well as other Indian languages. Simply type the English letters and the computer converts it.

German
Kids’ games for German vocab and stuff.

Welsh
Lots of vocabulary. (Note: In my experience, this website has only been marginally useful because it doesn’t give gender, some of its nouns are plural when they should be singular, and so on.)
A long, detailed, well-explained resource from the BBC on Welsh grammar.
Xhosa
A study sheet for grammar.
A short introduction to grammar. Dense with linguistic jargon, but can generally be followed.

And finally, I recently started a resources tag (here) that I think I’ll just link to rather than trying to transfer all that stuff over to this post.
I apologize that some of these headings have only one or two resources for them… but remember that the “Many Languages” category can not only provide a lot of further resources and information for the languages listed here, but can also provide stuff for languages not mentioned here!
If you guys have more stuff you’d like me to add for any language, send it to me and I’ll check it out and maybe update this post :)
Have fun and good luck :D

POW ER FUL
I need this.
Reblogged last year, hoping it comes this year
This won’t make your blog look ugly. How could you not reblog this? REBLOGGING THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE!!!
This goes for assholes, too, guys. I know a couple who went tubing once, and they had to re-air their tubes, but the guy thought it would be funny to stick the tip of the air compressor up to her bikini trunks, the air ruptured something inside her and she died within thirty minutes.
WHAT?
The thing about this? It’s in every pregnancy book I’ve read.
WHAT?????
Why is it in pregnancy books but not sex ed books?
Because the men in charge only care about the health and safety of women in so far as it enables them to have babies.
https://www.healthline.com/health/air-embolism#outlook
Reblogging with a link because I thought this was a legit joke. Never heard it before. Like I knew you could kill a person by inserting air into a vein but still.
WHAT THE FUCL I hate how I didn’t learn this in sex Ed AT ALL
This is very true lol
Yo what the f u c k
not the normal stuff i’d reblog but, uh, this is kinda??? heckin???? important?????
I feel like I first saw this in The Joy of Sex, but it’s definitely a thing.
What the fuck
Hey guys, I know it’s a long shot, but I wanna do what I can to get her name out there. I don’t know the girl or her family, but I live in Jersey and know exactly where this happened, and I just can’t let this become another case of a missing Black girl getting swept under the rug.
JaShyah Moore is 14 years old from East Orange, NJ and she went missing on October 14th around 10AM. If you’ve seen her, have a tip, or know where she is, PLEASE call the EOPD at: 973.266.5041, 973.266.5030, 973.266.5060
To quote the article I linked, this is what happened before her disappearance:
In an interview with local TV station WPIX, JaShyah's mother, Jamie Moore, said her daughter initially came home from the deli and told her that she lost the EBT card she used to pay for food.
"She came back and she said, 'Mommy, I lost the card,' " Jamie Moore said. She said she told to teen to "backtrack [her] steps" to find the card.
Jamie Moore told WPIX that when JaShyah didn't return home within an hour, she went out to search for her. She said she went to several delis in the area, but could not find her daughter.
She eventually flagged a nearby police officer to report JaShyah missing.
"She's such a smart girl. She would not stay out overnight," Jamie Moore said. "I know my daughter. She would not want me to worry."
New Jersey authorities say they have secured surveillance footage from Poppies Deli and U.S. Food Market, another store JaShyah visited before she disappeared.
If you’re in the area or know someone who is, please share this to bring JaShyah home. The award for information is $15,000.
Please note that she no longer has a nose ring!!!
Article about her disappearance:
JaShyah Moore, 14, was last seen in East Orange, N.J., on Oct. 14. Authorities from various law enforcement agencies in New Jersey are work
As of 11/11/21, she is still missing.
