Hi my name is Katie and I’m in need of new hearing aids. Mine are about 10 years … Katie Elizabeth Borne needs your support for Help Katie
Today, we get to reblog this
Saw a tweet joking about gathering enough money from the public to buy back Twitter from Elon Musk, so let’s just consider for a moment that even if you got every single Twitter user, including the inactive ones, to donate $5 to a GoFundMe, we would only be able to raise 6.5 billion dollars. Which is 37.5 billion dollars less than Elon Musk just paid for Twitter. If every single user donated $25, we would still be 11.5 billion dollars short. Anyway if this doesn’t convince you that billionaires needn’t exist and we should tax the hell of them, I don’t know what will
Activist judges deserve protesters. Make his life a living hell.
Good morning all,
You all know I don’t make personal posts often, but the time has come for me to write about this person I knew in 2013/2014.
TW for consent violations and sexual activity.
I met Sean Meehan sometime in 2013 (I don’t remember exactly when- curse you ADHD brain). Anyway, we met on a dating site and both agreed it would be a hook up and nothing more. He drove to my apartment and I consented to sex.
We then hung out for a bit and went to have sex again and this time he mentioned about not wearing a condom. I balked at this and he said it was fine because he couldn’t have kids because of having had cancer previously and the radiation left him sterile and he had been tested for std’s. Me being a very naive 22 year old at the time fell for it and let it happen even though my mental alarm bells went off and I felt a great deal of anxiety the entire time. I brushed it off, not fully realizing what had happened.
Fast forward a few months and he asked to meet up again. I agreed and this time he also did the no condom thing and I again let it happen, like an idiot. Again I felt gross and disgusting and still couldn’t put my finger on why. I have some pretty severe anxiety/guilt issues anyway so I just internalized everything. Fast forward about a year so this is 2014 he invited me to hang out with him and some friends of his. While with them he constantly alluded to the fact that we’d had sex in front of the others even though it was humiliating for me, and he seemed to get off on doing that. He laughed and dismissed my discomfort.
Another woman about our age was there and Sean wanted to go to a strip club. I was fine with it, but this other woman wasn’t. She didn’t directly voice discomfort, but her body language was clear. Sean dismisses her discomfort and because she was in the car with no way back that meant she was coming too. We ended up having to leave because she didn’t have her ID.
After dropping her off at her home, he drove me to a parking lot and kissed me. I still hadn’t pinpointed the bad feelings as being his manipulation yet. He got me to perform oral by pulling my hair and pulling me down on him and actually called me a slut at this point. At this time mentally I knew I didn’t want to see him again. But I was in his car and at that point, he had the power. I smiled and pretended I was fine until he dropped me off at my car and I went home. I did see him one other time not entirely by choice, but I can’t blame him for that, it was a third party that orchestrated the meet up.
There are many many stories like mine out there. He is extremely active in the convention scene in the east Coast and regularly runs panels and events. He is best known for cosplaying as Guy Fieri and Giovanni from Pokémon. He is known for grooming underage girls, and boundary stomping. He has autism and blames that on his behavior, which is bullshit. He knows better, just chooses not to. He is a predator, plain and simple. He was fired from his last job because of lewd comments and sexual harassment.
Please spread the word!!!
I'm the one who wrote the original call out post from back in July. For those that wanna see the call out post.
TW: Child grooming, borderline r*pe EDIT: Sean has been copy pasting apology messages to his victims and causing people to have panic attac
This is just one of the numerous victims that have come forward to speak up and tell their stories
Thank you for adding this! ❤️
apparently people are annoyed because the thor in the new god of war looks like a strongman instead of a bodybuilder lmao
and they made his hair red (which is historically accurate to the myth)? Wig
What an absolute lad.
The funny/sad thing is that apparently way back in the day when Thor, Loki and Odin appeared in Sandman, Neil Gaiman said that there were irate Marvel fans that were mad that Thor was depicted as a kinda loutish guy with red hair rather than the image of Avenger!Thor (blond, winged helmet, formal Shakespearean dialogue) they were used to.
Sorry if I'm bothering you, but.... I'm that one post you said cats shouldn't be outdoor cats and I was wondering why? Isn't it good to let them move around outside since they enjoy it?
This is legitimately a huge (and still somewhat controversial) topic and I don’t really have the time to go into it in a lot of detail right now but here is a quick summary:
- Cats are damaging to local ecosystems. Well-fed pet cats still enjoy hunting and end up killing not for food but for fun and to practice their hunting skills. It’s a natural instinct, not malice, but it can absolutely devastate local songbird and wildlife populations.
- Outdoor cats are at MUCH higher risk of injury from vehicles, other animals, or even ill-intentioned humans (we once rescued a black cat with a broken tail I’m 99% sure had been broken by a group of kids swinging her around by her tail)
- Outdoor cats are at greater risk for contracting communicable diseases like Feline HIV
- Outdoor cats can get lost or even stolen (I’ve had both happen to me before)
- Outdoor cats are at higher risk of suffering from the elements (getting caught in snowstorms, freezing to death, etc.)
- Outdoor cats are much more likely to contract parasites like fleas, ticks, and worms
- It is much more difficult to spot irregularities in your cat’s health if they are regularly outdoors (you can’t monitor how frequently they urinate or defecate, and whether or not there are any changes to their bathroom habits)
- Outdoor cats are more likely to end up consuming something dangerous (rat poison, spoiled food, etc.)
- Outdoor cats who are not fixed are likely to increase the feral cat population by getting pregnant/impregnating other cats.
In general, outdoor cats are damaging to local ecosystems and at great risk of premature death.
Now, that’s not to say you can’t find ways to let your cats enjoy the outdoors, though! Here are some fun solutions:
Catios:
Cat harnesses (yes, cats can be taught to walk on leashes!)
Cat-safe plants for nibbles and noms:
Cat “TV” (ie shelves or seats near windows where cats an easily observe the outdoors from the safety of inside)
Basically domestic cats are not safe outside alone, nor is it safe for the local wildlife to have them there in numbers. There is a lot of information out there discussing this you can find on google (and like I said, there are people who disagree) but these are the main reasons I tend to encourage people keeping indoor cats, ESPECIALLY if you are in an urban or residential (non-rural) area where risk of traffic collision is high.
Was there any form of cryptocurrency in the Middle Ages?
No.
indulgences
This post keeps crossing my dash and the notes are annoying me because they fundamentally misunderstand what a cryptocurrency is. Cryptocurrencies are “crypto” because their total supply is tied to an arbitrary limited value (for BitCoin, ‘mining’ solutions to an algorithm) which is not backed by a government. They are ‘currencies’ because they can act as a store of value and a medium of trade (they count as an asset if you hold them, against which you can borrow other currency, and can be directly exchanged for goods and services).
On the other hand, all real currency is valuable, fundamentally, because you can use it to pay your taxes. That’s why it acts as a store of value and can be used as a medium of trade. It is issued by and returns to governments. Governments used to have to keep a certain amount of gold (literally!) on hand as backing for their currencies, but we stopped doing that in the mid-20th century because there is only so much gold on the planet. (People who like cryptocurrency often feel that this was a mistake.) But note that cryptocurrencies are still primarily considered valuable if they can be traded for as large an amount as possible of hard (government-backed) currency. That’s how they gain their power to purchase things. They don’t really - yet - have value separate from that.
Therefore 1) indulgences can’t be a cryptocurrency because they were used neither as a store of value or a medium of trade and 2) probably the closest thing to a cryptocurrency that existed in the early modern era (though not the Middle Ages) was, I will submit, tulip bulbs.
Did we all really let 6 years of Ryan Murphy pretending Lea Michele was a better singer than Amber Riley happen?
i was with my mother’s family and they were talking to me about my religious studies major. my great aunt asked me what the definition of hell was, and i responded “well i suppose it depends on who you ask.” and nearly all the protestants in the group decided that hell was “the absence of god” which i suppose is a fair answer, albeit not a universal one. my cousin’s wife was playing with her 3-year-old daughter and she says “well mommy says that hell is a mcdonald’s playplace” asdfghjhgfd
this 3-year-old girl is so fucking hilarious. her mothers have signed her up for a toddler yoga class, and so she has adopted a very unique language. this child also has an imaginary friend named “mom” which is, in her mind, the boss of her two mothers. for example, my cousin’s wife explained to me how her daughter got mad at them one time. the little girl situated herself in the corner of her crib, pretended to type on a cell phone and said “im writing an email to mom right now and telling her how bad you two are. namaste.”
the family’s Big Theory about “Mom” is that both my cousin and her wife are referred to as “Mommy” and “Mama.” The nickname “Mom” is not used in the house because it would just be confusing. However, when interacting with the world, people tell their daughter that they will “tell her mom” if she is doing something wrong. so this child automatically assumes there is this greater “Mom” figure that is responsible for distributing universal justice.
To be fair to the toddler, that’s pretty much how religions get started.
Our Mom, who art gonna hear about this,
It makes sense in anglophone toddler-logic language, look:
Mom (syllable of great maternal power)
Mom-ma (mama) (maternal power + diminutive type 1)
Mom-mee (mommy) (maternal power + diminutive type 2)
Grand-mom (or whatever variant is used) (maternal power + modifier to indicate status or age)
These clues do point in child-language to the existence of a “mom.”
This is just the monoscuit discussion but about maternity

this is really important, as someone who is part Armenian I think this deserves so much more attention than it gets, especially since Turkey continues to deny this and try to erase it. I’ve flown out to visit the Armenian Genocide Museum in Yerevan, Armenia, and the photographs and testimonies were truly devastating. Please reblog this to spread awareness.
Fandom is cancelled, we’re going back to casually enjoying media and not basing our fucking identities around the shit we consume.
Hah, tell that to Tumblr.
My friend I have some great news about what platform I originally posted this to
official gofundme link for george floyd’s daughter btw. april 20th 2021 it still hasnt reached its goal
Found this gem on the exmo subreddit
okay listen UP the only parallel in cinematic history that matters and i mean the ONLY one is when the shot in fellowship of the ring where frodo's hand reaches into the water to grab sam's is mirrored by the shot in return of the king where sam reaches over the edge of the volcano to grab frodo's hand and pull him up like. poetic FUCKING cinema.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
