the worst-case scenario

In case of emergency, break glass.

[megacarapa]

ok so this is another long shot but a few years ago there was a twitter post (in japanese i think?) that had measurememts for how to make this book stand thing out of cardboard that you could use to double up books and use up more space on shelves

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

if it comes down to it i can just take one apart and get the measurements from there but i would be very grateful if anyone happens to have the original post or something similar??

[megacarapa]

don't mind how long it's been since i made this post, anyway i realized that i don't even need to take one apart to get the measurements when i can literally just unfold it and refold it /FACEPALM

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy

EVERYONE START GETTING MORE USE OUT OF YOUR SPACE NOW!!!!

i've been doing a version of this with bricks and two by four! recycled cardboard is probably cheaper tho

let's put Scooby and the gang in a genuine horror movie situation, i wanna see what these freaks are truly capable of

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

"didn't they already do this with—" no. put them in a slasher film. put them in a BLOODBATH. put this van full of weirdoes in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre scenario i have FAITH in them

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

THEY'D DO WELL IN SAW

[batneko]

okay I'm thinking about this

not Saw specifically but a slasher with a legit body count. Summer camp slashers are overplayed but I think it really works because it's the type of thing the Scooby gang WOULD get caught up in.

like some of the counselors didn't show up (got got) so the head counselor calls his younger cousin to see if him and his friends can fill in last minute. They show up and they're a bunch of nerds, one of them even has an anxiety dog, and they don't have a big role at first. It seems like the movie is setting them up as cannon fodder.

and then the deaths start and suddenly the nerds are locked the fuck in. The little one with the glasses actually fixed the phone line and is taking stock of all their supplies in case the vehicles go out. The counselor's cousin who seemed like a himbo has set up a perimeter and made makeshift alarms for all the doors and windows, knows all the entry points. The anxious one and his dog are keeping the mood up with the snacks and activities that were supposed to be for the kids, making sure nobody panics and starts making dumb decisions. Somebody tried to grab the redhead and she flipped him over and had him zip-tied before anybody noticed. Weren't they a D&D group or something? What is happening???

Fuck the slasher movie just effectively becomes Home Alone but with Four Kevin McAllisters

at one point the kid with the anxiety dog says, "man, why does this keep happening? this is, like, the eighth time thid year!"

it's barely June. abruptly all the normal councilors understand a) why he has an anxiety dog, and b) why the dog has anxiety too.

Reminder that top speed for Shaggy is canonically the same top speed as a fuckin' great dane.

Slasher is flat out chasing after this kid, finally gaining on him, when suddenly he speeds up and starts going 30 miles per hour.

Not only should it be law that anything AI generated on the internet should be labelled as such but every website, app, and digital service should have a button I can click that removes any AI from my interactions with that site/service. I don't want your AI assistant I don't want your AI-generated ad copy I don't want this insidious little thing that has crept into so much of the internet that I can be using it without even realising or knowing. If you couldn't be bothered to have a human make it I can't be bothered to look at it sorry bye

heartening saga honestly

[malewifesband]

its always helpful imo to remember theres a cis person with whatever problem you have as a trans person 9/10 times. theres a cis man as short as you, a cis woman as tall as you, with hands and feet as big or small as yours. theres a cis woman scared to go out without shaving twice a day, theres a cis man whos upset bc he will never grow a beard. theres a cis woman who worries her infertility makes her less of a woman, and theres a cis man feeling similarly about his lack of potency. theres cis women who dilate and cis men with phalloplasty. theres a cis man scared that painting his nails will make people think hes not really a man and a cis woman whos exhausted with spending hours grooming just so people treat her like she wants to be treated as a woman. they dont put it in the terms we do but theyre worried that these problems make them inadequate at the gender they want people to see them as. our patriarchal system has made the boxes were supposed to fit into so small and you arent alone in not fitting it--nobody really fits

[steadyangelcharger]

intersex is a relevant term!

[antlered-vixen]

No, it's not. It's genuinely not. I am truly concerned with the growing number of people on tumblr who feel that physically diverging from an extremely narrow, colonial, oppressive and genuinely unrealistic notion of "what the sexes allegedly look like" makes you intersex. No. Like, 80% of Middle Eastern women have a lot of body hair and face hair they need to wax (or sugar) all the time, yes, with beards sometimes. No, impotent men or infertile women are not something else than dyadic men and women unless they actually are. No, there's cis men with "buried penis" who are 100% dyadic perisex cis men. Yes, men and women are sometimes almost indistinguishable by a glance without makeup, grooming, brow shaping, different clothes, different hair, etc: our natural dimorphism isn't particularly strong as a species. You are reinforcing the idea that the "natural state" of the two dyadic sexes is this extreme Disney-animal dimorphism that is actually a social construst and not the biological physical reality. You are reinforcing these extremely narrow and straight up statistically incorrect boxes by, rather than questioning them, calling what lies outside them "Other". Intersex people are people born with intersex variations. Like me. And our experiences are not just limited to the pressure to fit in narrow boxes we don't really fit in (hello, feminism 101 - that's everyone, that's how gender works), it's a lot more specific, often a lot more violent, with specific medical axes of abuse, with specific forms of discrimination, etc.

[malewifesband]

thank you for putting this better than i could. it was bothering me how a few people kept bringing up intersex people as if thats the sum of the experience im describing when it isnt. every single thing i mentioned is something that perisex people can and do experience, and its as much about the construction of the sex binary as a facet of white supremacy and eugenics and ableism as it is about intersexism. singling out intersexism does, as you said, more to reify that boundary by casting all sexual variance as other rather than accepting the fact that "male" and "female" are not very different from each other, while ignoring the specific violence that too often comes with being intersex

I’m gonna propose “I guess you haven’t read the silmarillion then :/” as a default response to anyone not understanding a reference to something obscure. even if it’s not remotely Tolkien related. I want to build up a perception that perhaps the sum total of human knowledge is contained in the silmarillion
