Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
“spicy pillow” jokes aside, I think @flowerkrone’s tags deserve a serious reply:
#my old phone looks like this on my shelf lmao #im too scared to touch it to throw it away #idk what trash this even goes into when its at this point
The pillow-shaped object here used to be the phone’s battery. It’s not a battery anymore. Now it’s a balloon full of corrosive, pyrophoric chemicals and hydrogen gas and it’s one puncture away from burning your house down. I am 100% serious. You should be scared to touch it.
But you gotta touch it, because you gotta get it out of your house before the pressure builds up to the point where the balloon pops. This isn’t going to happen soon – there is no need to panic – but it will happen eventually.
And, indeed, it doesn’t go in the ordinary trash. You put this in the ordinary trash and you’re gonna set the garbage truck on fire. Don’t do that to the garbage collectors, their job is hard enough already.
The first thing you need to do is get a fireproof container. The most common household item that qualifies as a fireproof container is a cast-iron cookpot with a cast-iron lid – often sold as a “Dutch oven.” Any other cooking container that’s unreactive, has a very high melting point, and has a lid made of the same materials will also work: enameled or stainless steel, Pyrex with glass lid, etc.
However: Do not use a pot with a PTFE-based non-stick coating. If the battery does explode, the fire will probably be hot enough to degrade a PTFE coating, producing toxic smoke. (Not that you should breathe the smoke from the battery fire either, but PTFE breakdown products are worse.) Do not use a pot made of aluminium or copper. The fire might even get hot enough to melt those.
Whatever container you use, you might have to throw away along with the phone, so don’t use your good Dutch oven for this. Go to a thrift store and buy a cheap one.
Once you have the fireproof container:
Gently pick up the phone and put it in the fireproof container. If possible, gently tape the phone to the bottom of the container to prevent it from bouncing around. Don’t put any padding in there, that’ll just make a fire worse if it does happen. Put the lid on and tape it shut.
Put a label on the container, something like “DEFECTIVE LI-ION BATTERY – FIRE HAZARD”.
It is now reasonably safe to move the container around. However, if the battery does explode, the container is very likely to leak smoke and get hot, so keep it in a well-ventilated area and away from things that will be damaged by heat. Don’t leave it exposed to the weather, either.
You need to find either a hazardous waste disposal site, or an e-waste recycler that will accept defective Li-ion batteries. I can’t help with that because I have no idea where you live.
However, your local fire department, if you have one, will probably be happy to help. Call their non-emergency number. Nothing is on fire yet, so this isn’t an emergency, but things that can easily start a fire are still within the fire department’s responsibilities. Tell them you have a phone with a bulging lithium-ion battery, you put it in a fireproof container, and you want to know how to dispose of it safely.
If the fire department tries to tell you this isn’t dangerous or it’s okay to throw it out in the regular trash (with or without fireproof container), hang up on them and write a cranky letter to your local government representatives, then keep looking for a proper disposal site.
When you do find a a hazardous waste disposal site or an e-waste recycler, call them and make sure they will take defective Li-ion batteries, before showing up. That’s also a good time to ask if they will let you have the fireproof container back.
The AU is a Jurassic Park AU called Barbed Wire and Guns Won't Save You Now
It's based off of the youtubers Lord0wnage, Kihec, JFrosty, and Bouqd, as they did a Jurassic Park Minecraft mod video
It basically follows the video, so you definitely need to watch them, but it deviates a little bit
Or a lot. Yeah, a lot, but you still need to watch it for context
Stuff under the cut is the lore atm
Lord0wnage and friends, aka Scream team, are invited to take an early access tour of the park
When they arrive, they're greeted by a few other famous Minecraft youtubers (like DanTDM, Technoblade, and Stampy Longnose)
Yes, Technoblade is alive, he never dies
Anygays
Ownage (Nicolauss), Kihec (Isaiah), Frosty (Jack), and Bouqd (Allen) are shown around like traumatized shelter puppies, and Nico eyes up the map (he has amazing direction skills; he can find even the greatest hiding spot in hide and seek), spotting the Indo Rex inclosure
Nico turns to the others and points at it, saying he wants to see it
The tour guide says that's off limits ( RED FLAG GUY WHERE ARE YOU)
Nico is suspicious
They move on to the other animals
More sus things happen
The rest of the boys get suspicious when the enclosures start shutting down
They meet more youtubers
Jacksepticeye and The Boys ( another YouTube group), as well as Jamesteo, Huge Deer, Stereo, and Puff join them
Nico sneaks off because he's special interest locked in on the Indo Rex and wants to see it
The stuff he finds is why trigger warnings and content warnings exist
The Indo is NOWHERE to be seen
Nico texts the newly made gc and warns the rest of the group
They're scared
He's scared
They run off to find him
It starts raining
A lot of death happens because THE CREATURES GOT OUT
Everyone is tweakin out, the group finds Nico
They make it to shelter
They find guns
And ammo
And the stuff used to make the dinos come back
Jack Frosty, the freak he is, knows Nico would LOVE to have some dino DNA, so he convinces Jack Seán ( Jacksepticeye) to steal some with him
Jack Seán doesn't like the people who made the dinos, so he says sure as long as he can commit property damage
The group goes out into the rain and face off against things like Velociraptors, Carnotaurus (I have no clue if I spelled that right), very dangerous stuff
Apparently, Allen makes friends with the Velociraptors and the stegosaurus
Jack Frosty proposes that they try and find the Indo Rex
Jack Seán immediately agrees, 'we don't need more of it and it needs to reproduce eventually' is his point
They all agree to kill it
Before they can, they find the helicopter pad ( this is in the video, and a prime example of why you should watch it)
They decide that they need the high ground and get in the helicopter
The dove kinda hits a window here, not like it hasn't already, but it happens again
They find the Indo and open fire ( Nico, my lovely snipe, get that thing)
They forgot about airborne non terrestrial dinosaurs ( I completely forgot what they're called in the moment, i know what they are, and I know they're not dinos, but it's the simplest version)
A Quetzalcoatl ( my favorite non terrestrial) jumps them
If Jurassic Park can take creative liberties, so can I, so there's, like, 4 Quetzalcoatls and they sometimes hunt in packs
Juicy mans the machine gun and pops one out of the sky immediately
Jack Seán is maneuvering the helicopter to safety
The T-rex that was released gets sniped by my lovely sniper Nico ( it's literally true; Lord0wnage is an amazing sniper in Minecraft, having hit and taken out all of the rest of Scream team multiple times for funsies)
A rescue copter comes to help
The og helicopter gets hit by a Quetzalcoatl
They take the risks of jumping into the rescue helicopter
Jack Seán is still piloting, and can't leave the cockpit or it'll fall and take him with it
He drops this banger line:
" Well...I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't... Go for it, boys. I'll lead those big lumps o' shite off for yeh. Don't worry 'bout me, okay? Just get home safe. I'll see all you dudes in the next video, heheh. "
Jack Frosty, a big fan of Jack Seán, is sobbing and absolutely moved by his act of kindness
The group gets in the helicopter and they fly away, watching Jack Seán lead the Quetzalcoatls away and, eventually, inevitably, fall to his death
There's, like, way more to this ( including a zombie apocalypse because op is a sucker for those), but this post is already long and sad, can't have too much dead dove in one Tumblr post
So I'm gonna leave it there for now
( if the two lovely people who I tagged uptop wanna brainstorm more ideas for this, feel free to fill up both my ask boxes!)
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

And yesss, I love referencing og youtubers!!! Or just youtubers in general. Most of them are so cool!!! Especially in the Minecraft horror mod niche and vanilla Minecraft!

Summary:
not nearly enough people are fuming about the cass review. do you understand the eventual implications? trans people in the uk will be considered children up until the age of 25, and denied HRT/surgery/even basic measures like legal name change and social transition. all owing to a biased and largely unscientific study. you know what “treatment” for gender dysphoria is recommended by the review instead? conversion therapy.
this will kill people and they know it, because they prefer us dead and out of sight. the government, the NHS and even the opposition have made this clear again and again. a twenty-five year old can have sex, get married have children, join the military, earn a living, be halfway up the corporate ladder or highly successful in their chosen career field by that age, but they can’t transition under NHS rules. this is a death sentence for trans teenagers and they are going ahead with it. it’s trans genocide, same as across the pond.
i’m so afraid for my trans siblings and our futures. i’m so scared for myself. what are we to do if not even the party that is supposed to be on the “left” gives a shit about our safety and mental health as long as they get voted in? labour have become tories with a red coat of paint. it all feels hopeless
Fuck, I didn't realise it was up till 25 (not that I didn't find it devastating anyway). This is so shit. I fucking hate how much the government here, especially the recent Labour government pretends to support LGBT rights and then just... lets this happen.
Well, shit, now I'm crying.
Anyway, gonna get this spread around more. @mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026 @satan-offical @forgetthefall @explosions-are-funny @gracehasaspacesuitquestion @no-one-offical @unyieldingsilence @ghostofafruitmain
I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.
dude.
$2,714 of medical debt from my top surgery - gone. im shaking this was such a weight on me for 2 years and it fucking worked. what the fuck.
Hospitals like to hide these policies under a lot of successive links in obscure places, so if you don't see anything right away, keep looking! Get friends to help! Make it a scavenger hunt. A game where you're assassins sent to slit capitalism's throat
