Insensitivity reader to make sure that your characters are ignorant assholes in the ways that make the most sense for the characterization you're trying to achieve
Happy Pride month! 🌈
if theres one thing that really pissed me off from my 3 years of architecture i took in high school it's learning about how we used to have all these little techniques to maximize or minimize heat or warmth and now we just merrily abandoned all those to have the same copypaste style buildings everywhere that are often INCREDIBLY unoptimized to the local weather and climate so we can just throw more money at our heating and cooling bills
where i live it is hot as balls approximately 80% of the year. i do not want a massive butt-ugly grey mcmansion with a huge echoey open-concept kitchen-livingroom-foyer-diningroom-staircase that has huge windows so i can have an hvac unit the size of a barge heaving and straining to keep it at a constant 72 the grees. i want a north indian traditional style home with small windows to force the airflow to cool, decorative grates to limit the amount of sunlight, and a COURTYARD with a POND *smashes unspecified large object*
I hate learning about instances of "oh yeah we know how to do that, we just don't".
Receiving social assistance money needs to be way less fucking stigmatized. Relying on a disability pension, or another income program is not a moral failing.
“But they’re not contributing to society!”
Maybe not by the twisted capitalistic standards of the world we live in, but all human life has inherent value, no matter how they contribute to others.
Anyone else kind of think that IP law is bullshit?
Like, so let's consider the facts. Star Trek was created 60 years ago by a guy who died 35 years ago. Most of the canon was created more than 20 years ago, by people who have since died or moved on with their careers. These people, the ones who actually had a hand in making it, have, other than a tiny trickle in royalties, made all of the money that they will ever make off of their work; their work which has inspired millions of people across generations and become a fixture of popular culture.
And yet, somehow, through some strange alchemy of law and capitalism, all of this is owned by a bunch of usurious sons of bitches with an ideology diametrically opposed to that which the series was created to represent. Men who had no part in creating it, men who, in fact, have never created anything at all, get the revenue from it. They alone get to say what happens next in this fictional universe that they had no part in creating, and that means nothing to them. They alone get to turn the spigot of new Star Trek on or off depending on their taste.
Now of course "it is what it is", right? That's how everything works. There are entire industries that are just dominated by rich assholes owning entire libraries of intellectual property that would be completely beyond their capacity to ever create in a million lifetimes, and all that you can do is lobby for copyright reform. But surely it is kind of fucked up, right?

Incredible and gorgeous 17th century Ottoman tent from the Dresden State Art Collections.

I see your “Rocky swears like a sailor but only in pitches humans can’t hear/refuses to teach Grace what those words mean” and raise you “Rocky swears like a sailor and now has to explain to Grace that ‘bad bad bad’ isn’t actually a sequence you play on your Eridian speech piano in polite company.”
Grace is both horrified and amused to realise that a more accurate translation for what Rocky’s been saying is “shit shit shit”.
Eridian government representative: Greetings Rocky, Saviour of Erid, and Grace, Saviour from Beyond the Stars. We are pleased to welcome you home.
Grace, haltingly on the keyboard Rocky built for him: Wassup bitches. Fucking jazzed to—
Rocky: GRACE STOP TALKING NOW NOW NOW I EXPLAIN LATER
My very first stained glass project is complete, and I’m so happy with how it turned out! It’s not perfect but it’s damn cute

I love stuff like this. Didn’t a tribe in Africa send America some cows after 9/11? Like this is holy and the most valuable thing we have. We hear your suffering and want to do anything in our power to help
It was not a potato famine. The famine didn’t happen because of the potato yeald failing. Ireland was actually producing more than enough food. However it was almost all land owned by Brittish landowners, who took all of the food out of the country to sell in UK. Potato was what the Irish farmers ate, because it was cheep and could be produced in worst parts of the land, where more profitable food couldn’t be grown. When there were no longer potatos, the decision for the farmers was to either starve and sent the food as rent to the landlords or loose their homes and then starve.
The Brittish goverment was unwilling to do anything for two reasons. First was the laissez-faire capitalistic ideology, that put the rights of property owners to make profits above human lives. Rent freeze was unthinkable and they even were unwilling to do proper relief efforts as free food would lower the cost of food. The second reason was distain for the Irish, and the thought that they were “breeding too much” and the famine was a natural way to trim down the population, aka genocidal reasoning.
This is why it’s important to stress it was not a potato famine. The potato blinght was all over Europe but only in Ireland there was a famine. The reasons behind it had nothing to do with potatos and everything to do with the Brittish.
Apparently what made Choctaw want to offer relief to Irish was the news about the Doolough Tragedy. Hundreds of starving people were gathered for inspection to verify they were entitled to recieve relief. The officials would for *some reason* not do that and instead left to a hunting lodge 19 kilometers away to spend the night and said to the starvqing people they would have to walk there by morning to be inspected. The weather conditions were terrible and many of them died completely needlessly during the walk thoroung day and night.
This apparently reminded the Choctaw of their own very recent (and much more explicit and bigger scale) experiences of ethnic clensing, where they were forcibly relocated. It was basically a death march and thousands of Choctaw died from the terrible conditions also completely needlessly.
In 2015 a memorial named Kindred Spirits was installed in Southern Ireland to commemorate the Chactow donation.
Then in 2020:
Navajo Nation say Irish generosity is the ‘good in all of the bad that is going on’
Choctaw Nation has now added a monument of their own:
A sculpture honoring the relationship between the Choctaw Nation and the people of Ireland will soon be erected on the Choctaw Capitol groun
Hey guys, this isn't something I would normally bring up, and I'll be posting about it on my main Tumblr account too as I've noticed this has become an issue that other posters on Tumblr need to be aware of.
Lately, there have been these scam accounts that are impersonating Tumblr Staff, and trying to get you to "verify" that it's your actual account due to "suspicious" activity.
Do not click their links, there is no indication that it's from the actual Tumblr Staff. They're mass mentioning a bunch of pages and creators to try and get them to click on their links. Rather than sending a private message or you getting a notification outside of a PUBLIC post The best thing to do is to report it if you get one.
