Idk if someone else has thought of this before, but hear me out on this new worldbuilding headcanon for Minecraft. Phantoms pose the same ecological role as IRL vultures. That being, they eat dead bodies. The reason a lot of them swarm (and even attack) the player when they haven't gotten sleep is because they sense lack of energy (which, for a lot of animals means death is nearby) and assume the player is either dead or dying.
Reject tradition (feeding capitalist companies), embrace modernity (supporting indie studios)
friendly reminder to pirate everything as often as possible and (above all) to do it safely.
FreeMediaHeckYeah is possibly one of the best resources I have seen collecting what is essentially every viable pirating site for all types of media, and I felt it needed to be shared!
The largest collection of free stuff on the internet!

Knights of Guinevere looks like a show made by someone who…
Pitched a passion project to a network owned by multimillion dollar company
Had to remove MOST of the edge of said passion project.
Bent over backwards to promote the multimillion dollar company’s flawed streaming service so she could continue to make her dreams come true.
Was told MID-PRODUCTION of a second season that her show was gonna be cancelled with all that’s left to make being the rest of that season and three specials.
Was given little to no explanation as to WHY other than her show with an openly bisexual main character no longer fit the brand.
Proceeds to put two and two together when it gets revealed that the multimillion dollar company supported a Florida bill that prohibited discussion of LGBTQIA+ people in the classroom.
Scrambled to make sure that the rest of her series had an ACCEPTABLE ending.
Watched as some of her friends and colleagues go through the same thing with THEIR projects.
Get angry at the fact that the multimillion dollar company made bank off those projects while she and her friends got PENNIES in return.
Quit working for the company because all of the reasons above.
Proceeded to go independent and work for the studio that produced the most FINANCIALLY SUCCESSFUL ANIMATED SERIES OF THE FUCKIN’ DECADE.
And then make a show where the point is to essentially say, “Fuck you” to the multimillion dollar company and all that it currently stands for.
Knights of Guinevere is more than just a dark, horrific animated series that features scenes and ideas from a Dana Terrace unfiltered. Knights of Guinevere is an animated show made by a Dana Terrace who is spiteful and angry towards Disney and everything it’s done, not just to her and The Owl House, but to the animation industry as a whole…And I’m all the more excited because of it.
Get ready for this one to get the same amount of attention as The Owl House did, because OOOOOOOOOOOOH BOY! Is it gonna be a fun ride!
Disney making the moral of the live action lilo and stitch “split your family and move to the mainland” is extra insidious when you remember Disney bought a large chunk of Hawaii and built a resort on it
Give 'em hell Dana.
Let me Vent about Media Depictions of Stone Age people
So, to once more start with a completely random vent here: I hate how media depicts Stone Age people. Because it is just so fundamentally misinformed about how humans work and what we do. And I hate it so much.
Because, well... I ask you to imagine some Neolithic or even earlier humans. What do you imagine?
Do you imagine people with unkempt hair, who mostly communicate in grunts, and wear barely treated animal pelts over their shoulders instead of clothes, yet still live in a somewhat nuclear family unit where the dad and maybe the older brother is hunting, while the women are staying in the cave or something?
Because if you do, you have been dooped by media depictions. And it is not your fault. Because frankly, even within scientific literature we see these depictions again and again DESPITE KNOWING that it is not true.
If you look at pop culture you have stuff like the Flintstones and the Croods. And mind you, I generally really liked the Croods as a movie. But... oh, the tropes in there are... ugh.
And if you look at museums, and text books, and what not, you will still see stone age depictions that look something like this.
Sure, at least those have some sort of tribe, which is at least some advancement over the Stone Age Nuclear family, but I am still so annoyed with a bunch of it.
Because, first these are white people, most of those people would not have been white, especially not people who lived in areas where it would have been enough to just wear a random piece of leather around your hip as clothing. Secondly, well, isn't it funny how these stone age people are all wearing clothes that keep them covered just in a way that aligns with modern day standards (keeping the genitals and the female breasts covered - the latter we know was simply never a concern for most people on this planet until after 1500). And thirdly... Why does nobody believe that neolithic people had not discovered fiberworks? Because... like, we have not a whole lot found of that (because clothing generally just does not survive 10 000 years), but we have found needles, and pieces that were fairly likely used to work fibers - as well as some fiberwork that survived in clay. Moreover, we also know that the people who were wearing animal pelts, did not just wear them over their shoulders or around their hips, but usually actually had those cut onto form and stitched together like actual clothes.
For example, we have these pieces of Clay from which we know that there were weaved textiles.
The left one is a piece of fired clay found in Dolní Věstonice that shows fiber impressions. The side predates the Neolithic. The second is from an excavation side in Kisnytsia.
Then we have this, what looks like some biological images, but is actually flax fibers that have been treated and were likely used in the creation of clothing 30 000 years ago. Some of them were likely even dyed!
And it was not even just a homo sapiens thing. We have this bit of cord at a Neanderthal side, which also needs understanding of fiberwork to create. So, yeah, even Neanderthals had fiberwork.
And then we also have some of the female figures that you probably have seen before. And the way they are created make it very likely that the knotted things on their hip and head are actually a cap and a skirt of sorts. So clothes that was specifically made.
So, it is very likely that even when the people were wearing leathers and furs, it would have looked not like in the pictures above, where it is just roughly draped leathers, but actually something tailored like this or this.
And I know this seems like a weird topic to vent about, but there is actually a reason why I talk about this. And that is because the entire thing about textiles is related to the propaganda inherent to depiction of Neolithic and earlier people.
Neolithic people are depicted as living in nuclear families, to show that the nuclear family is a biologically natural unit for humans to live in, rather than a thing that was invented in the US of the 1950s to get people to buy more home appliances.
At the same time Neolithic and earlier people are shown grunting and wearing barely treated furs to hammer home of the idea that humans have progressed so far and that progression is somehow linear, and with this also framing colonialism as a good thing. Something that brings the colonized people ahead in this development. Which it is also not.
And lastly this is related to another issue that exists in anthropology and has only gotten better since the 2000s: the invisibility of women.
Because here is the thing: we know that a good chunk of human societies - especially unsettled societies - were fairly egalitarian in regards to gender/sex. Though there is some evidence that often a lot of knowledge was more generally transmitted among women. There is a good chance that the fire and the wheel were invented by women, not men. And this is weirdly enough linked to textile work.
Because for a long, long while it seems that textile work has played a central role in the gathering and transmission of women.
While the roles were not as firmly gendered as you imagine today - we have found burials of men with tools related to textile work, just as we have burials of women hunters and warriors - there seems in several early societies have been a relation between knowledge and fiber work.
I mean, technically you very likely know this subconsciously. Because you know old mythology, in which very, very often a goddess associated with textile work is also associated with wisdom and knowledge.
So, yes. This is all connected.
If you want to know more about this, Olga Soffer has written a lot on this. She is a former fashion industry insider turned anthropologist, who has done a lot of research on this exact topic. A lot of the stuff above is based on her research.
But yeah, generally speaking it is quite frustrating to me, that somehow Horizon Zero Dawn - the post-apocalyptic "stone age people hunting robot dinosaurs game - somehow has one of the more realistic depictions of early human fashion.
Isn't brother Bear set in the stone age tho?
I liked the way they depicted the culture there, whether it's super accurate or not, at least they have a culture and aren't grunting around
Yeah, it is. Though like most Disney movies, it is so uncomfortable in depicting non-white people that once again they transform the non-white character into something non-human. Because somehow that is a thing Disney just LOVES to do. (Don't mind me. Hating on Disney since the release of Pocahontas.)
you know what? i am so glad that i decided (at the moment) that i want to work at sony pictures animation instead of pixar, because i am certain pixar would beat my ass and my stories.
a lesbian, plus sized girl protagonist; a lesbian, hispanic girl with poor mental health; and a gay asian boy who has been bullied his whole life for having two dads. plus said lesbians have a (semi-slow burn) romance.
yeah, pixar only wants stories that are “universal”. also known as straight white male protagonists with uncreative stories.

Please donate! We've only raised £232 so far. We need at least £1000 for my sister's treatment.
If treatment does not arrive today we may lose my daughter’s hand forever.
After the plate surgery, the wound turned into a severe infection, then pus, and now it has reached the bone. Doctors warn that any delay could lead to permanent, irreversible damage.
The donations are not general support they are used directly to save her hand through
Urgent tests and scans to determine the spread of the infection Donate now
Strong antibiotics and essential medication
Medical wound cleaning and dressing changes to stop the deterioration
💔 I watch her suffer every day, completely powerless except for waiting and fear.
🙏 One donation or share could stop this progression before it becomes irreversible.

My family needs your help. 💔
I never imagined I would have to ask for help like this, but today I have no other choice.
My family is living in extremely difficult conditions. My children have become sick because of the poor shelter and harsh living conditions we are forced to endure every day. As a parent, it breaks my heart to watch them suffer while I am unable to provide what they need.
We are struggling to cover even our most basic necessities, and every day brings new challenges.
Any donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference for my family. If you cannot donate, please share our story with others.
Thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers. ❤️🙏
Please help my family through this difficult time.

happy pride month 🏳️🌈
From the shore of Gaza, I am writing these words while watching the sunset with my children.
There is something heartbreaking about watching such a beautiful sunset while wondering what tomorrow will bring.
For many families around the world, home is a place of safety. For us, home has become a memory. The war has taken away so much—our security, our stability, and the simple routines that once made life feel normal.
Every morning, we wake up facing uncertainty. Buildings have collapsed, schools have been disrupted, healthcare is limited, and even basic necessities like food, clean water, and shelter have become daily challenges.
In this video, you will see small moments from our lives. You will see a father trying to bring smiles to his children's faces amidst hardship. You will see children who still dream, laugh, and hope, even under circumstances no child should have to endure.
My children, Israa and Suhaib, deserve what every child deserves: the chance to learn, play, and sleep safely, and to look to the future with hope, not fear.
We are not headlines, and we are not just numbers. We are a real family who struggle every day to survive and maintain our dignity.
Many people have already turned away from Gaza. I hope you won't.
Please help us share our story. Be a voice for families whose voices are rarely heard.
If our story touches your heart, please consider supporting us. Your donation helps provide food, clean water, shelter, and other basic necessities that allow my family to keep going.
No donation is too small. Every act of kindness matters.❤️

MY EYES ARE SWOLLEN FROM CRYING. I CAN'T SAVE MY WIFE.
Every day I watch her struggle without the urgent treatment she needs. Fear and helplessness overwhelm me, and I don’t know how much longer we can endure this.
My daughters, Alma, Lama, and Lina, ask about their mother and cling to me in fear. I try to stay strong for them, but it gets harder every day.
At the same time, we struggle to meet our basic needs. Food, clean water, medicine, and daily essentials cost more than $200 every day, and we cannot afford this on our own.
Every day donations stop, my fear grows even more. Without your support, we cannot survive, and my family’s future becomes more at risk.
Please, if you are able, donate today. Even the smallest amount can make a real difference for my wife and my children.
If you cannot donate, please share this post. A single share might reach someone who can help.
Please do not leave us to face this alone.

"15 days of silence without a single donation, while my mother fights illness alone and time is running out.. Please don’t abandon us to this fate; help us with even a little, or by sharing! 💔🙏"
At night, we cannot sleep from fear…
Rats have filled our tent, eating the few clothes we own and destroying the floor of the tent that barely protects us.
Every day we wake up to new damage, torn clothes, and belongings ruined by rodents because of the harsh conditions we are living in.
Our children are living in fear, exhaustion, and insecurity.
We have no home to protect us and no clean or safe place to turn to.
Even the simplest necessities of life have become a daily struggle for survival.
With the arrival of summer, my children are in desperate need of light summer clothes after most of their clothing was damaged by rats and the harsh conditions of displacement.
It breaks my heart to see my children deprived of the most basic needs that should be every child’s right.
We are not asking for the impossible… we only want to live with dignity and protect our children from this painful reality.
Any support or even sharing our words could help us continue and ease some of this suffering. 🤍
