I reblog everything because it's the truest form of love you can show an artist.

...We just throwing out innocent until proven guilty then? The Untouchable defends the public murderer and the family man falsely accused of assult, or the struggling single woman wrongly blamed for theft.

When a lawyer points to an eight year and calls her a slut who wanted it in order to defend his forty year rapist client, he's crossed a line.

There comes a point where the delight taken in defending becomes a miscarriage of justice itself. The lawyer should fight to get his client a fair trial with unbiased jury and to make sure all evidence is presented and that his punishment is just, he shouldn't be lying through his teeth in order to get a danger to society off scot free.

Yo Why are you reblogging from obvious fascist bloggers

can we stop incorrectly throwing this word around it’s really annoying
also clicking the follow button on someone’s tumblr page doesn’t psychically bond you or automatically subscribe you to their views and beliefs

[unification]

im joking of course, the follow button absolutely establishes a psychic bond and if you follow me consider yourself both unified and assimilated

Can we go back to suicide baiting Neil gaiman. I feel like we’ve lost sight of what’s important here, which is suicide baiting Neil gaiman. ‘This should have happened’ ‘that should have happened’ Wrong. Neil gaiman should have killed himself instead of being slowly and quietly brought back into the cultural consciousness by amazon and various comics publishers etc

"I would never-"

You would if you were tired enough. You would if you were hungry enough. You would if your mind and body had been worn down enough, through pain or disease or toil or violent struggle. You might if you were put on the wrong medicine, or you got the wrong kind of head injury, or you were forced to choose between someone else and yourself. You might if your livelihood was staked on it, or all your hopes and dreams. You might if you didn't know what else to do, if it's what you were taught or if nobody taught you anything else.

I have not been worn down in most of these ways. I have lived a remarkably privileged life. But I have been worn down in some ways. And they were enough to teach me that in the wrong circumstances, any of us can become someone we don't want to be. It's worth keeping that in mind.

[greenleavesandwarmbreezes]

No actually. Some of us would never.

History is full of people who would never. They usually died for it. But we remember them and honor them as heroes.

Some people do have those breaking points. Not everyone.

So every year, my aquarium does a captive lobster hatchery project (hence all the loblings). The reason we’re doing it is because in the wild, loblings only have a 1 in 25,000 chance of surviving their larval phase. They’re plankton as babies and everything eats them. Additionally, as the Gulf of Maine warms, they are having even lower survival rates because the blooms of copepods they feed on as babies are happening earlier in the year, and they’re missing it.

Obviously, the goal of this experiment is to grow the lobsters until they’re big enough to settle to the seabed and then release them, because they have a much higher likelihood of surviving to adulthood when they’re able to hide. Ideally, captive lobster hatcheries can boost the wild population and keep things stable, so we don’t have a major crash in a decade or two.

The first year we tried this was pretty bad. We had a lot of eggs, but very few babies. It turned out that the CO2 levels in the building spiked as more guests visited throughout the summer, and that settled into the water and threw off the pH and caused a chemical reaction that prevented a lot of the eggs from hatching. I think we ended up releasing three baby lobsters (which is still better than their wild survival rate but not great).

The second year was a little better. We added a de-gasser to the aquarium and got a ton of larval lobsters, but right as they were settling to the bottom we had a disease outbreak that killed most of them. We ended up releasing four babies at the end of the season.

But this year? Oh boy. We have so many lobsters that we had to release the first round early (usually we wait till September or October so guests can see them). We just released a total of FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE baby lobsters, and we still have over a hundred who haven’t settled to the bottom yet. I genuinely don’t even have words to explain how cool this is. OVER FIVE HUNDRED. We just added hundreds of lobsters to the wild population that wouldn’t have been there otherwise.

Conservation is so fucken sick

all pedophiles should die and theres literally no downside to them all dropping dead

[myboyfriendpetebuttigieg]

We should let anybody come into any space or movement they want. People should be allowed to call themselves anything they want, and if they don’t fit the definition, we should just change the definition. We should divorce all movements, spaces, art, culture, history, and language from their original context, because everyone needs to be allowed to be everything, and inclusivity is holiest amongst all things, even if that means the destruction of entire communities, political frameworks, neighborhoods, and artistic movements.

If you were to describe any other group as an animal, it would be bigoted. When misandrists call men pigs, its meant to be insulting. You call a brown man a monkey and it's rightfully racist. Refer to a Jew as a rat and it's anti-semetic but refer to a woman as bitch and somehow, it's empowering? "oh, but we reclaimed it!!" When did we decide to reclaim a slur for 50% of the population. Did I miss the meeting. Where was my invite. Was there a vote.

I came across this wall tent for sale on facebook for $75 and while it looks somewhat battered, that's an absolute steal for a canvas tent. I went to go buy it, and the guy selling it said that he'd camped in it as a child--and he was currently 92 years old. So. Yeah. It's an old tent.

It's actually in decent shape, though, so I'm going to see about getting it into usable form as a backup/storage tent for historical and fantasy camping. And I've been wanting to experiment with dyeing a tent, but haven't wanted to risk ruining an expensive one--so this is perfect as a test.

I used a clean trash can, 30 gallons of water, and half a gallon of flat interior acrylic paint to get this robin's egg blue. It's still drying--I wanted a pale color to use as a base, with the intention of either painting darker stripes or contrasting patterns as an accent. I dunked the whole tent into the trash can of paint water, and spread it out to dry. It is a bit splotchy, but it's probably close to 80 lbs dry, so with the added weight of water saturation, and a 12x14 normal footprint, it gets pretty hard to maneuver by myself. I am going to have to reapply waterproofing to this tent, due to its age, but for now it works to my advantage while dyeing it. I will update as this process continues, but for now it seems like a good way to get non-manufacturer color onto a natural fiber tent.

if pure helium existed hundreds of years ago there'd be entire subgenres of opera which make specific use of it to reach inhumanly high pitches. Like castrato but gas... gastrato. or something

Hi I'm tumblr user #19473043445 and I'm a staunch leftist. I participate in the fight for freedom and equality by jerking off to incest porn to own the puritans and posting obvious scam donation links. You can support me by reading my AO3 fanfictions and donating to my kofi so I can make more fanart.

[dapperprincess]

"average person sees cnc and thinks of rape" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person thinks of the cutting machine. Rapist Georg, who lives in cave & watches over 10,000 pornos each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

something about Toy Story toys is so strange to me. versions of animated characters based on real world toys, turned back into toys that are slightly different than the actual toys. slinky dog with a rubber spiral instead of a classic metal slinky. the porcelain bo peep and cloth woody turned into jointed plastic action figures. when toy story 4 came out and i saw a $30 talking action figure of forky, a character made out of a spork and a pipe cleaner, i stood in the walmart toy aisle staring at it like cameron from ferris bueller's day off staring at that painting in the art museum
