There needs to be a movement of people putting paint in fire extinguishers and super soakers and just covering every security camera that has been put up over the last forty years with paint or just pulling them down with like shovels and hoes or whatever they can do because honestly everyone hates them just get rid of them

This looks like a tool from the Billboard Liberation Front. I’ll bet they have a lot of other nifty tips that could be applicable in this case.

A man's natural rights are his own, against the whole world; and any infringement of them is equally a crime, whether committed by one man, or by millions; whether committed by one man, calling himself a robber, (or by any other name indicating his true character,) or by millions, calling themselves a government.

Hot take but rigid divisions between queer identities and heavily-policed labels that are treated like diagnoses are really, really bad.

Trans men have shared histories with lesbians who have shared histories with bisexual women who have shared histories with ace people who have shared histories with aro people have shared histories with gay men who have shared histories with trans women who have shared histories with nonbinary people who have shared histories with etc etc etc etc etc.

Labels are important for people who want them, but we need to stop treating sexuality and gender as rigid boxes and checklists.

[idhren]

yes. labels aren’t a fort you need to protect; labels are a pin you can add to your backpack to signal being part of something. You can, in fact, have more than one label (as a treat).

[cookthepenguin]

this is why i hate “lgbtqia+” or whatever the current term is. it signals that everyone should be in one group and add that to the list. same with the progress flag. the ‘79 version was perfect and all-inclusive. the ‘21 one is overcrowded and while trying to give more representation it somehow achieves the opposite effect.

The sweaty joke is because of the tumblr piss on the poor joke. And it's taking the typical sweetie being nice to sweaty meaning not being nice but making it look that way.

Not only are you an antisemitic, your doing bad on tumblr culture.

I'm sorry you're angry and think that finding the 'bad group' will solve all the problems. But most of your problems are cause by yourself and you helplessness and most reall world problems are multifaceted.

Please hold room in your heart for curiosity and wonder, because right now your just the bitter apple at the bottom if the barrel and your blaming others about it

i’m not angry at all. or antisemitic. i don’t have a problem with anyone for being a semite (arab, armenian, jew, …), just for being a nationalist. i consider myself curious and am willing to hear your points if you actually state them instead of hiding behind useless labels and purposely unclear language

i accept that i’m not fully aware of tumblr culture (mostly because i’m not chronically online) and am sorry that i misunderstood your insult

Jews did not need a state because it was “promised” to us. We needed a state because all your grandparents were happily killing us.

Our ethnic ties to the land influenced the location of our state. But they were not actually the reason that we decided to build one.

[cookthepenguin]

following the same logic we should have a queer country as well

[imyourbadjew]

I wasn't aware that queer is an ethnicity but sure why not! I support Queeristan!

[cookthepenguin]

jewish isn’t an ethnicity either, but a religion. my point is that in a functioning democracy with freedom of religion and self expression there would not be the need to separate these groups.

the problem is fascists’ feeling of superiority and the solution isn’t to remove these groups from society, but to help them be accepted as a part of it. nazis also went after leftists (anyone from a social democrat to the most hardline communist was in danger), slavs, “gypsies”, people of color, disabled people and “asocials” (meaning basically anyone from the unemployed to people with jobs looked down upon (sex workers) to basically anyone who didn’t conform to their ideology). do you want to create a separate country for all of these people?

[imyourbadjew]

i’ve done the exact same thing as with everyone else. accepted them as long as they were peaceful, talked with them about their beliefs and the differences to mine and told them to go to hell if they advocate for genocide

btw you haven’t answered my question. would you want to remove all disadvantaged people from society or just those you deem worthy?

[imyourbadjew]

You mean divide minority groups into “good ones” and “bad ones” like you just did? No thanks! Only brainrotted leftists and neo nazis do that kind of shit. Which one are you?

[cookthepenguin]

i haven’t divided anything. you did along “ethnic” lines (following your definition)

[imyourbadjew]

Wait so now ethnicities don’t exist? Wait until black people hear about this!

[cookthepenguin]

following your definition they do and jews are one of them. and you want a country composed of just them. where have i heard this before?

[imyourbadjew]

I want a country composed of all of them? That’s interesting, I don’t recall saying that!

You must be thinking of Japan. Or Saudi Arabia. Or Qatar. The list goes on. Actually I bet that Israel has a more ethnically mixed society than whatever nation your shitty basement is located in.

[cookthepenguin]

oh so israel isn’t based on ethnic claims now?

and just so i address all your points:

-japan: mostly ethnically homogeneous, don’t support it

-saudi arabia: defined as the area controlled by the saudi dynasty. the “ethnicity” is as homogeneous as yugoslavia’s or china’s

-qatar: official language is spoken by 11% of the population, that’s how diverse it is

*releases pack of dads into home depot* go……be free

[hotcommunist-deactivated2019032]

invasive species encroach on lesbian territory

[dreaming-shark]

This is a common misconception because they’re such similar environments, but you should be aware that dads are native to Home Depot, while lesbians are actually native to Lowe’s. At this point, however, both dads and lesbians have made themselves at home in both Home Depot and Lowe’s to the point that trying to separate them back into their original ranges would probably do more harm than good to the delicate ecosystem of large chain hardware stores.

[ailithnight]

A properly raised and socialized Dad will be perfectly comfortable cohabiting with Lesbians. Its not really “encroaching on another’s territory”. You wouldn’t say that about foxes in a forest that also homes bobcats, would you? No. It’s just two different species that have both evolved to live in similar/the same environment. As long as they recognize each other as equals, Dads and Lesbians are more than capable of cohabitation.

Now, if you were to release a pack of Lumberjacks into a Lowes or Home Depot, that’s where chaos will reign. Being adapted to a far harsher and more demanding environment, the Lumberjacks would simply push Dads and Lesbians both out and also consume far more than a sustainable amount of resources. It would be like releasing bears at a country club.

[chequerootlurks]

As a former timber-harvester… I feel this is potentially accurate in theory. But highly improbable in actuality.

Lumberjacks, like most megafauna species generally require more space than the average hardware store, even a big box store could provide. The misconception is that Lumberjacks are a social species because of how they often work and live together.

This is a matter of necessity, not preference, and a survival technique for thriving under the LogBoss.

A “pack” of Lumberjacks, if not under the environmental pressure of a LogBoss will naturally disperse until they each have a wide territory.

Lumberjacks rarely fight for territory.

One on one, a Lumberjack could drive out a Dad or Lesbian, however the latter tend to travel in social packs.

Lumberjacks will passively retreat on the presence of large numbers of people. Kind of like Sasquatch.

Getting a “pack” of Lumberjacks assembled would be hard enough unless they were forced into a Hardware Store by a LogBoss. In that case, they would already be in a heightened and potentially agitated state far above their natural behavior. This artificial scenario can be likened to a circus animal running amok. If it had been in the wild, the incident would not have occurred.

Free-roaming Lumberjacks are the cryptids of the Hardware ecosystem. They are surprisingly quiet and unobtrusive.

Please stop labeling Lumberjacks as dangerous roving social predators. They are intermediate level omnivores and remarkably peaceful unless threatened.

[thatdisasterauthor]

As a hardware store worker I can say that this is all 100% accurate.

[swindle94]

now how in the FUCK am i supposed to leave tumblr when a god tier post like THIS is just is just waiting for me daily?!?!?!

[fromchaostocosmos]

question where does the “art student” or “DIYer” “crafter” or “soap maker” or “miniaturist“ etc. who has ventured into the store for supplies fall into the ecosystem/what is their impact of said ecosystem?

[terulakimban]

Most of the above are native to craft and hobby stores (art students, historically, are native to museums, but having been introduced to hobby stores, have found a niche for themselves and thrived), but all can be seen in hardware stores on occasion due to territorial overlap. They are generally low-impact, as they tend to stick to specific small areas and primarily utilize different resources. While a large group of any of them can be disruptive (art students, in particular, are known to travel in packs), in general, they are more likely to have territorial disputes with one another than with the local fauna. 

A point of clarity -“crafter” is a bit misleading; while it conjures a specific image, much like ‘fish’ or ‘reptile’ it actually covers a broad array of wildly disparate species, and in general, more descriptive nomenclature is preferred. Fiber artists in particular are a genus to watch out for, particularly in groups. Beware a roving pack of domesticated quilters. They fear nothing, will go anywhere, and due to their social nature, will often seek interaction from other species that thrive best in solitude. They are quite friendly, and will happily adopt members of other species; the concern is that their adoptees do not always wish to be adopted.

#in search of taxonomic precision and peaceful coexistence (via welkinalauda)

[kriladoodles]

I do wonder how lesbian/bisexual lumberjack-mimickry fits into this

[marablake]

I can say as a former craft store worker that if you wish to see true fear, look into the eyes of a Dad who must venture into a craft store. Despite the overlap of familiar beings known to him from his native hardware store habitat, Dads are instinctively aware that craft stores are not for them; they contain unfamiliar perils and even the seemingly familiar may have strange variances and unnerving secrets. (”Why is this airbrush so small? What do you mean nails, why would you… WUT!!”)

Only experienced silverbacks or the boldest young Dads dare venture into a craft store for long without his mate or offspring to keep roving Craft Ladies at bay and guide him in this strange ecosystem. If a Dad enters with his mate and is separated from her, he will often scuttle for the seeming familiarity of Woodcrafts, Models, or Paints (the latter not to be confused with Fine Arts, unquestioned territory of art students), but he eyes Scrapbooking and Jewelry with trepidation and will usually venture into those exotic areas only in the company of females of his pack.

Lumberjacks are rarely spotted entering craft stores of their own volition, for while they do not fear it as Dads do, they know it is an environment unsuited for megafauna such as themselves.

Hardware store Lesbians generally adapt more easily to craft stores, although they may enlist another Lesbian of a subspecies more adapted to that environment to guide them until they find their niche. Lesbians have even been known to seek the aid of a Craft Lady, a native fauna that share similarities with Lesbians but are usually smaller and nimbler to suit their chosen habitat. Dads who witness this are often awed by the Lesbians’ temerity, for although larger, Dads are generally wary of the cunning and dexterous Craft Ladies and may mistake their enthusiastic pack greetings as predatory swarming.

Craft Ladies, secure in their ecological niche, have no fear of interlopers and take the presence of non-native beings in stride, although they may become territorial about scarcer resources.

The only truly invasive species that threaten craft stores are Brides-to-Be, who are mere annoyances individually, but like locusts may descend in hordes and lay waste, leaving swathes of destruction in their wake. Fortunately for the Craft Ladies, Brides-to-Be are seasonal and usually only a threat in the spring and early summer.

[link-the-feral-anon]

It Got Better

[fireflyfish]

Is anybody going to address the newly invasive species of BuJo enthusiasts into the craft store/art supply store environment? Why aren’t we talking about the dangerous proliferation of Leuchtturm 1917s and the growing threat of Dotted Moleskins? I had to liberate a Dad from a tangle of washi tape in the art supply store the other day and it wasn’t pretty.

[rpendleton]

The natural habitat of journalers was stationary stores, which have been replaced by office supplies stores, not the same. Journalers invade the craft stores and art supplies stores to get the markers and washi tape and Sakura pens they require for survival.

[greatatuintheworldturtle]

@great-art-and-a-purple-tongue @onbearfeet THE LORE HAS BEEN UPDATED.

[onbearfeet]

VERY IMPORTANT AND ENTIRELY ACCURATE now excuse me I gotta hit Lowes and Michaels.

[gothiccharmschool]

Another thing to note is all of those habitats must adapt to the seasonal migration of goths. As soon as the faintest hint of spooky can be detected at those stores, goths will arrive in packs. A small pack of goths determined to forage can strip the shelves of a seasonal section bare in 30 minutes.

[blaisers]

Too important not to reblog

[moniquill]

I for one stand in fascinated trepidation to see how the major habitat destruction wrought by the loss of JoAnn Fabric will impact the greater ecosystem.

[aetherograph]

SCAdians can often be found in any of these environments, and while they do not necessarily travel in packs outside their native lekking grounds, they are gregarious and are not in fact one species but a colony of cordyceps-symbiotic Crafters, Goths, Dads, Lesbians, Cosplayers, etc. that are directed by the cordyceps inhabiting them to find others to pull into the “Society”. This particular symbiotic fungi, c. recreatoris, causes hosts to behave similarly to Historical Re-enactors, but SCAdians tend to create their own internally consistent timeline of events taking place in a shared world, whereas Re-enactors are a species of Museum animal.

[hasufin]

I wish to address the percasive rumors directly: the loss of JoAnn’s happened prior to and was not in any way caused by the annual Goth feeding cycle. Notwithstanding that much like cicadas and locusts, the craft store ecosystem evolved to handle and even rely on this phenomen, it simply had no relation to this unfortunate occurrence. While there remains some debate on the subject, the immediate cause seems to have been a disease which hit the elderly crafters on whom JoAnn’s relied the hardest.

The loss of the JoAnn’s feeding grounds has been devastating to the Goth population, and conservation efforts are ongoing.

this must be the longest post i’ve ever seen on here with mine being the 23rd reblog in a row

[dramatic-dolphin]

sometimes it genuinely feels like other people don't remember being children. "omg if a 13 year old is looking at porn there is something deeply wrong 😨 they shouldn't even be thinking about sex!!" they are going through puberty and their hormones are going crazy. do you remember being 13 years old.

[futchfeminista]

anyway if a 13 year old is looking at porn (women being raped on camera) something is deeply wrong

[dramatic-dolphin]

again, different point than i was making. you can replace "looking at porn" with "reading erotic novels" or something, if you're hung up on the concept of pornography, which was not my point.

[zizibutik]

I watched probably hundreds if not thousands of hours of porn and not one woman has been raped on camera in them 💕

[cookthepenguin]

that’s debatable. some platforms (pornhub for example) are famous for pushing their mods to look through a lot of stuff, some of which they can’t verify as consentual.

also at what point does sex work become rape? what if she has no other choice but to accept the money for the video because otherwise she can’t afford to feed herself (or maybe even her child)?

and because she works (or worked) in an industry with so much prejudice she probably can’t easily find another job.

for those among us without media literacy: i’m not arguing against porn itself, just against the marginalization of the workers. a young couple deciding to make money this way is perfectly fine and should be viewed as any other movie: looked at by a professional from beginning to end, rated for the appropriate age and made available for those wishing to consume it.

[zizibutik]

aint reading all that but no it's not debatable. not a single woman was raped in any porn i watched cause its all huge dudes

[cookthepenguin]

fair.

i sometimes forget that gay porn exists, cuz i see it as “the straights like to watch each other for some reason”
