You see the epic of Gilgamesh is yuri, the Iliad is yaoi, the odyssey is yuri, the aeneid is yuri, the Pharsalia is yaoi

Romance of the three kingdoms is yuri, water margin and journey to the west are yaoi, dream of the red chamber is so deeply yuri i can’t even get into it-

dirt poor but dirt is actually so rich in nutrients for plants to thrive so what does that really say about me

There is a fire in my heart that no one can see‼️

This is the Third time I’ve lived through the brutality of hunger its harshness, its silence.

I walk through the streets of the city and find nothing to feed my children.

🩸The first time was last year, when I documented my situation holding onto a piece of bread after over a month of deprivation.

🩸The second time was 6 months ago when I brought some flour for my family and I was very tired because it was a very long walk.

🩸Now, I’m reliving that same pain.

The helplessness before my children, the heartbreak, it feels like I’m failing as a father. This is the very definition of powerlessness. I am of no use to them.💔💔

*Do you feel the weight of this hunger in my heart?

*Can you hear the cries of my children’s empty stomachs?

*Is anyone out there listening?

*Can anyone help us or Or convey the voice of this hunger to those who can help us?

Please donate, we are in dire need of your humanity. I hope you will not leave us to die in this harsh hunger. We want to feel that there is someone we can rely on to lighten this burden a little.

My campaign is verified on Gazavetters under # (88).

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who supports us in these difficult circumstances. 🌹🫶🇵🇸

Sending these (and a few more) off to a manufacturer for samples hehe

I've edited a few of my designs and changed the color! Also my charms might be a bit smaller haha, turns out my previous manu has been making them slightly bigger than what I asked (?) not a bad thing, just kinda funny

Changed the design of my double sided Odysseus one, and edited the colors of my Gilgamesh (and enkidu), Hermes, and Odysseus under a sheep ones! And I'm adding an odypen hear magnet charm (design above) and hector (cat), Brutus (duck), and Caesar (chicken) charms hehehhehh

Decided to continue the Ancient Lovers keychain series! Just played around with flat colors~~ I’m about 99% sure the Anu symbol isn’t the right representation for all Mesopotamian mythology. But if I find something more accurate later, I’ll replace it

Captions shouldn't be censored. If the video says fuck or cum or cunt the captions should say the fucking word.

[dancing-jestress]

Unless it's a slur! No one needs to see that.

[mioxenoblade]

If they say a slur in the video, the captions should reflect it. The disabled are not little babies who have to have life sanitized for them.

[sunbummonkey]

okay but I feel like ur forgetting that slurs don't just apply to the disabled... children don't need to be seeing the n-word or other racial slurs??

[mioxenoblade]

but children DO need to be hearing it? are you actually reading the post here?

[pixelartpeach]

Here's how it works when subtitles are done properly:

Audio: Let's BEEP go! Subtitle: Let's (censor tone) go!

Audio: Let's fucking go! Subtitle: Let's fucking go!

Removing swears and slurs from the subtitles without removing it from the audio is implying that deaf/HoH people need babying, unlike their hearing friends and family sitting right next to them. Which is frustrating.

The point of subtitles is to give the same experience to everyone watching, regardless of ability—not to be a more palatable version of what's being said.

[fandomsandfeminism]

The purpose of subtitles/captions is to be accurate, that's all.
