Welp, this didn't work out as planned

I literally just like, repost stuff I like or find funny. I don’t really post much original stuff on here. Maybe a thought once a month. Or a cute picture. That’s it :)

[copperbadge]

On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.

hey bestie i think ur post might be charmed 'cause you aren't gonna fuckin believe what happened today

[vrabia]

today i learned that the finnish word for ‘hazardous waste’ is ongelmajäte, which can also translate as ‘problematic garbage’ and my roommate and i immediately agreed this is a word that belongs on tumblr.

[callmebliss]

Your fave is ongelmajäte

[you-had-me-at-e-flat-major]

in german it’s Sondermüll which means special trash and that too belongs on tumblr

[pyrebomb]

One man’s ongelmajäte is another man’s sondermüll.

so a very long time ago, my dad worked with an arson investigator

this guy was often one of the first people on the scene following a suspected arson, once emergency services had done what they needed to do. at times, there were also civilians on the periphery. often, they were freaking out, and understandably so; their home or workplace had just, quite literally, gone up in smoke

this investigator wouldn’t try to calm them down. he wouldn’t comfort them or be a shoulder to cry on.

instead, he’d walk up to the person most visibly losing their shit, hand them a fire extinguisher, and say “hey, can you keep an eye out for any other fires, and if you see one, can you put it out with this?”

of course, there was no actual risk of another fire. he wouldn’t be on the scene investigating if there was even a chance that the fire wasn’t completely put out. but the bystander didn’t need to know that

because that person, without fail, would immediately pull it together, take the fire extinguisher, and stand guard. they were, at least temporarily, calm enough for this investigator to do this job

my dad has told me the parable of the fire extinguisher a hundred times, and i think about it a lot. i think about what it says about people and crises. i think about what it says about the grounding power of having a purpose. and i think about the importance of letting someone help me through something, even if that help is just going to be another casserole to throw into the freezer, because useless or not, that fire extinguisher might be the only thing holding them together

Tumblr did not “Goncharov” Poob. Poob is Glupp Shittoing Tubi/Pluto/Roku Channel/Hulu/etc.

[gender-luster]

none of these words are in the bible. or the dictionary, for that matter.

[hugintheraven]

#While this is a joke#For the etymologists out there#Tumblr did not “goncharov” poob#translation: Tumblr is not making a fictitious thing called poob that we insist is real#Poob is glup shittoing (streaming services)#Translation: Poob is now a generic name for whatever streaming platform is out there when you don't feel like naming something specifically

[gallusrostromegalus]

Etymologists are on Tumblr for the same reason Primatologists are out in the jungle: It's where the Monkeys are.

Signs of a heart attack are different for each gender yet we only really teach the male warning signs. Make sure you’re aware of both and spread it to as many other women as possible!

[branwyn-says]

EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE TAKEN A CPR CLASS I have had to be that person who points out that the training videos ALWAYS frame the “male” symptoms as the default universal heart attack experience, while the “female” symptoms are framed as though they’re a deviation from the norm, rather than the primary symptom set that cis women experience. 

ALSO: I just showed this post to my roommate, who is an MD at a clinic that specializes in care for the LGBT community in the Baltimore area. I asked her  whether hormones were responsible for the difference in the “male/female” symptom arrays. I asked how that would apply to her trans patients (which, she treats a LOT of trans patients). She said, basically, that the longer you’ve taken testosterone the more likely you are to get the intense chest pressure and the arm pain, versus the upper back pressure and shortness of breath.

Obviously I am not a doctor myself, consult your own health care provider, etc.

[sanscarte]

Reblogging this comment because this is the FIRST TIME I’ve ever seen someone address what XYZ medical condition would look like in trans patients. Also this is partly why my great-grandma died: the (male) doctor dismissed her heart attack as basically indigestion, because she didn’t have the typical male symptoms.

[solarpunkarchivist-deactivated2]

Oh my God someone was able to answer the trans patient question!

[libraford]

I heard on the radio that sugars and carbs work better when they bond to fiber and protein, so I thought id make more conscious decisions around that when I choose my lunch options. Its early yet, but I do feel like I don't get the afternoon crash that I used to.

So like... yes its okay for me to have the coke with lunch, but not the coke by itself. I should also be having meat or a grain or both. Yes, the candy bar is okay, but one with nuts in it is more likely to be what I need for the day.

Like... yes, balanced meals. But sometimes convenient is what you got, so learning how foods bond together made that work better.

Anyways, thanks NPR, for telling me some food science that wasn't body shame-y!

The time has come for France to own up to the massacre of its own troops in Senegal

One of the darkest moments of France’s colonial history has never been properly acknowledged. That could be about to change.

[evilwickedme]

Thiaroye massacre - Wikipedia

^ Just so people know the official name for further googling

[a-random-fandom-friend]

I read the wikipedia article, because I'm french and I've never heard of it; sure, I knew there were terrible things done in Algeria, and knew about the colonisation, but we studied the 2nd World War a lot, and I mean a LOT, of times during our scolarity, and I never heard of it.

It's awful. The above message is true and succint : the Senegalese shooters (which were in fact only partially senegalese and regrouped black people from all French-colonized Africa) was brought to mainland France, fought the nazis, were captured, and were put in prisons in the occupied France. A lot escaped, being protected and hidden by white people, and many joined the Free France, and fought alonside all the other people in the Resistance, forming bonds and sometimes families with white french people.

When all of France was liberated, the totality of the "Senegalese" shooters was put in boats as quickly as possible, for a thing called the "whitening of the war". They were paid really inconsistently, but assured they would be paid in full once arrived. Plus, lots of them had gained ranks during the Resistance but once again the army was very inconsistent on whther it would take that into consideration.

Once arrived, they were not paid, and all the milatary leader in place in the colonies (which, surprise, were still incredible loyals to nazi-cooperator Petain's ideologies) found suspicious how much they were owed, and were doing everything they could to not give straight answers. The shooters had been in free france and been treated as full equals by the people there, plus had been in contact with the black american soldiers, so the White People Superiority had been eradicated to them, and they were not afraid anymore. They blocked a high-ranking white guy's car, asking him their pay, and their rank & cothes. The guy finally escaped by promising that they would have it, and then ordered ALL OF THE WEAPONS AND TANKS from the French colonies be brought to him & organized with the white, often high ranking people there. He sent a telegram at 1 in the morning to mainland france, announcing what he was going to do and asking for permission (nobody answered, probably because it was 1 in the morning and the war was not over yet). They told all the shooters to come to the main place of the camp, and then... well, the archives are missing, and the only testimonies are from the officers. They said someone opened fire, multiple historians thing they opened it themselves. The shooters were killed. The white officers only recieved one bullet, from their own type of gun.

The number of victims for this massacre goes from 35 (number very, very probably false) to 70 to 191 to "at least 300" to more than 800.

The survivors were put on trial for mutiny, and both judge and jury were white people who were there the day of the massacre, so, yeah. The minister of Colonies vehemently disapproved of that massacre, but his successor complimented it. Because of ww2, there was still propaganda and surveillance of mail. The massacre was known almost immediatly in all of French-Colonised Africa, but it was buried in the mainland, only getting rembered because of incredibly difficult work done by historians - and the voices of the ex-colonized.

And I've never heard of it.

And when a six-foot tall Persian priestess with a fucking GOLD EYE speaks, you know you damn well listen to what she has to say.

[shirojikimattari]

LOOK WHO HAS SOMETHING DRAW. IT IS ME, MY GAY BITCHES.

[shirojikimattari]

Finally had a tiny break time.

So…. Anyone still up for golden eyed six foot tall priestess??

[strugglingqueer]

Oh, you better listen to her!

[captain-lonagan]

i’ll listen to her, give her my food, worship her, do her laundry, and generally be extremely gay

[consistantly-changing]

Okay but this is so cool.

This is the earliest prosthetic eye ever recorded, and the surgery was a success. It appears that it was held in with thread and was worn regularly, with signs of infection in the eye socket showing that it had possibly been worn too much without cleaning.

The whole eye was not gold, instead mostly being made of bitumen with the golden lines inscribed into it in a pattern that some archeologists suggest may be an imitation of the sun, the 8 radial outward lines being sun rays, to represent light. There are also hints of white pigment on the surface, indicating that once part of the eye may have been mimicking the sclera (white bit of the eye).

Some suggest that her eye elevated her status, and based on the responses of everyone here, that’s easily possible.

Golden-eye and the Burnt City: The earliest known ocular prosthesis from the city of Shahr-i Sokhta

Shahr-i Sokhta (sometimes written as Shahr-e Sukhteh), meaning The Burnt City, is the name given to a substantial Bronze Age walled urban se

Bonus, the eye itself (which resided in the left eye socket):

[patentlyabsurdrpgideas]

Reblogging this version for the revelation that this ancient priestess prosthetic eye had a golden sun inscribed on it.

I’m not sure if that’s cooler or equally cool as a fully gold eye, but I feel like people need to know! Especially artists because I want to see that illustrated!

Would like to formally apologize to the animation team behind the OG scooby doo. I thought this shit was just cheap animation, they really did just dance like that back then.
