me: [taking a piss in my own house like normal]
my anxiety: “what if someone slipped you hallucinogenic drugs and you’re actually in walmart right now pissing in the middle of the store?”
me: “…we’ll confront that problem when we come to it”
I posted this unforgettable 1930 house in Reno, NV quite a while ago. It didn't sell, is now in bankruptcy, and for sale by the bank at a bargain. 5bds, 5ba, 6,189sqft, $1.1m (Zillow's est.: $1,967,200) Perhaps it could be the unique decor and odd layout that turned buyers off.
this might count as good bird photography, but i think the bird itself is sufficiently horrible
(great egret, fishing)
which of these classical texts have you read?
the iliad, the odyssey, and the aeneid
the iliad and the odyssey, not the aeneid
the iliad only
the odyssey only
the aeneid only
the aeneid and the iliad, not the odyssey
the aeneid and the odyssey, not the iliad
I have read none of these
"what if I've read part of it" if it's a large enough part that you would consider yourself to Have Read It in general contexts, then it counts. if it's not, then it doesn't. only you can be the judge of that, but I'm not giving you a nuance button.
any translations count, but abridged retellings don't
obviously, there are lots of other classical texts out there. you might have read none of these and be an expert on greek tragedy. I'm not judging your classical knowledge so you don't need to tell me all that. I'm just curious about combos of these specific texts and their popularity, bc a post i just saw got me thinking about it
Every once in a while, I wish the friendship meter from the Sims was real so that way when people tell me "I used Chat-GPT" they can visually see just how much respect I just lost for them in that moment.
One time an acquaintance told me she entered Snape's star chart into chatgpt and I could physically feel that meter dropping three separate times over the course of her sentence
Tumblr Sexyman Contest 2026 Final Round
Senshi (Dungeon Meshi)
Ryland Grace (Project Hail Mary)
Mr. Ant Tenna (Deltarune)

“And if you’ll give me 40% of the MOST POPULAR VOTE, I’ll give you my SPECIAL REWARD... A year’s supply of NON-GLOOBY SLIME!!! Never or BARELY used!!!” Tenna concluded his speech with a huge smile, jetting his hands up in double peace signs.
The crowd roared in confused enthusiasm as Tenna gave a gracious flurry of low-FPS bows, pausing only for the occasional stink-nose at his audience plants who weren’t throwing enough 3D roses.
Eventually, the room fell silent. It was Senshi’s turn to speak.
He puffed out his chest, took a long, sweeping look over the audience… and shook his head.
“I can see not all of you are eating properly.”
The crowd murmured with embarrassment.
“I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s time to take the turkey out of your icebox. I have seen the ingenious technology with which your people store food... and I have also seen the waste which results from such convenience.
“The food you take had a life. Beasts grew fat on the grass of the field, plants grew from the sun’s rays, and mushrooms grew from minerals in the cracks of caves. And yet, it sits in your iceboxes, collecting moisture until it perishes.
“Eat what is given to you. Because its life will make you stronger, too.”
Without another word, Senshi left his podium and stepped away from the stage. The crowd murmured in confusion. “Is he really like that?” somebody said. “I only remember reblogging the photosets of him tripping and showing ass.”
--
Back in the Green Room, Tenna wrung his antennas nervously.
“Y-y-you think they liked me!? They HAD to!! I mean, I don’t know what Asgore was thinking, getting that weird haircut and running that food waste campaign, but… YOU thought I did good, didn’t you, Kris?”
Laios nodded aggressively, a streak of blue face paint peeling from his forehead.
“You did AMAZING, Tenna! By the way, now that we’ve seen all your insider campaign secrets, do you have any more videos of Susie? Especially her tail... If I could get a look at that, I could finally tell if she’s a dinosaur or --”
THWACK. Fake antlers butted Laios’s head.
“LAIOS?? Weren’t we dressed up to help SENSHI???” Marcille hissed, gesturing awkwardly with her hooves.
Suddenly, Tenna turned to the two adventurers.
“Hey, WAIT a second. SOMETHING’s not right here...”
Laios and Marcille held their breath.
“Where the heck are my POINTS!?”
Just then, the door opened. Chilchuck took one step into the room, whistling and holding a large bag.
Everyone turned to him.
Chilchuck paused, took a step backwards, and closed the door.
“CHILCHUCK!!!” yelled Tenna.
“How come Chilchuck got to stay Chilchuck!?” yelled Marcille at the same time.

Meanwhile, in outer space somewhere, some guy was making out with a rock.
I'd hoped you might be more cooperative once you realize the importance of our work.
KATHRYN JANEWAY - STAR TREK: VOYAGER S4E7 Scientific Method
Do you think tumblr will ever learn the difference between “I’m defending this person because I agree with them wholeheartedly and I am also like this person” and “I’m defending this person because your behavior is dangerous and you need to stop”
IMO, blurring the lines between “I’m defending them because they’re right” and “I’m defending them because you’re taking this too far” is step numero uno to cutting down the very existence of fair trial and democracy–even in places where saying that might seem a little dramatic.
Mob mentality is extremely strong in humans and it’s also extremely dangerous. Mobs don’t think things through. Mobs kill and they destroy and they can’t be reasoned with. Someone trying to calm a mob down isn’t someone defending the ~problematic party~ It’s time we re-learn that.
queer opinions on cops at pride
We analyzed LGBTQ people’s perspectives on police participation in LGBTQ Pride events using data from the Policing the Rainbow study, the first nationally representative survey examining LGBTQ people’s experiences with and perceptions of the police. Respondents were asked to indicate the extent to which they agreed or disagreed with the following statement: “Police should participate in LGBTQ Pride events to show their support.” [...] The Policing the Rainbow survey was fielded in August 2022 through NORC’s AmeriSpeak Panel. The survey used a stratified, multistage probability sample of households in the United States, was administered in both English and Spanish, and was designed to be representative of approximately 97% of U.S. households. A total of 1,598 respondents completed the survey, yielding a response rate of 27.1%. The sample was constructed to produce representative groups of LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ adults. While both LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ respondents shared perspectives on police participation at Pride events, this research brief focuses exclusively on the perspectives of LGBTQ respondents (n = 798).
from "LGBTQ Perspectives on Police Participation in Pride Events" by UCLA's Williams Institute
found this data very interesting. particularly the fact that no group opposes cops at pride more than trans people
Everyone say thank you to trans femmes for showing us a version of femininity born from joy and desire instead of just through coercion
Everyone say thank you to trans mascs for showing us a version of masculinity born from joy and desire instead of just through coercion
Everyone say thank you to all people outside of the cis gender binary for showing us a version of gender born from joy and desire instead of just through a simple frame work in which our oppressor have used to kill, erase, and censor us.
Thank you for showing us the existence of a history before and a future ahead.
When asked whether they had experienced any physical attacks in the year prior to completing the 2022 survey, between 5.0% (among AFAB nonbinary adults) and 5.9% (among transgender women) of respondents reported experiencing at least one attack. As shown in Figure 4, experiences did not differ significantly by gender identity.
We found no significant differences in the prevalence of physical attacks between non-Hispanic Black (4.7%) transgender adults and non-Hispanic white (4.7%) transgender adults. Hispanic or Latine (6.4%) transgender adults were significantly more likely than white, non-Hispanic adults to have experienced one or more physical attacks over the year, and transgender adults who identify as multiracial or another race (8.6%) reported the highest prevalence of physical attacks over the year. As shown in Figure 7, patterns in violence by race and ethnicity across different gender identity groups mirror the aggregate results shown in Figure 6. Across all genders, except transgender men, multiracial adults or those identifying as another race reported a higher prevalence of violence than white, non-Hispanic adults, who consistently have the lowest likelihood of having been physically attacked in the prior year.
Transgender respondents who resided in suburban communities (4.3%) were the least likely to have experienced physical attacks over one year, compared with 6.7% of transgender adults in urban communities and 5.6% of transgender adults in rural communities. Patterns of geographic context varied across gender identities are shown in Figure 11. Among transgender men, prevalences of experiencing physical attacks were similar for those living in urban (6.8%) and rural (6.5%) areas, compared to those in suburban areas (3.6%). In contrast, transgender women residing in urban centers reported significantly higher prevalence of having experienced physical attacks (8.2%) compared to those living in suburban (4.7%) or rural (4.8%) areas. Nonbinary people—both AFAB and AMAB—were more similar in their experiences of past year physical attacks across different community types.
As shown in Figure 14, respondents across all gender identities who believed they were perceived as transgender almost all or most of the time were significantly more likely to have experienced a physical attack in the prior year than those who believed others rarely or never perceived them as transgender. Between 7.5% and 9.1% of transgender adults who believed they were perceived as transgender most or all of the time experienced an attack, compared to 3.8% to 4.9% among those rarely or never perceived as transgender.
Race and ethnicity are related to experiences of physical attacks. There were no differences between Black and white non-Hispanic people, but Hispanic or Latine respondents had 35% higher odds, and transgender adults who identified as another race or multiracial had 86% higher odds, of experiencing a physical attack compared to non-Hispanic white respondents. Lower educational attainment and lower income significantly increased the odds of experiencing a physical attack. Respondents without a high school diploma or GED or with no income had substantially higher odds of experiencing a physical attack relative to their more educated and higher-income counterparts. Respondents residing in suburban areas had the lowest odds of experiencing violence. In comparison, those living in urban areas had 56% higher odds, and those in rural areas had 27% higher odds of experiencing a physical attack. In terms of gender identity, transgender women faced the highest risk, while transgender men and AFAB nonbinary respondents had 22% and 25% lower odds, respectively, of experiencing a physical attack than transgender women. The odds were slightly lower among AMAB nonbinary individuals than among transgender women; however, the difference was not statistically significant. Visibility played a pronounced role: respondents who believed they were always or most of the time perceived as transgender had 72% higher odds of experiencing a physical attack than those who were never perceived as transgender. Those who believed they were sometimes perceived as transgender had 29% higher odds than those never perceived as transgender.
from "Physical Attacks Against Transgender Adults in the United States: Findings from the 2022 US Trans Survey" by UCLA's Williams Institute
Updated this post with a more complete representation of the results. Essentially, this study using the 2022 USTS data (n=83,368) found that when isolating gender as a factor, trans women had the highest risk, and also that other factors (in particular: socioeconomic status, education, race, type of community (urban/suburban/rural), trans visibility) had a stronger influence over odds of being physically attacked than gender alone. Being highly visible as transgender increased the odds of being attacked notably more than being a trans man or nonbinary assigned female, to the extent of nonbinary people assigned female who are highly visible as trans, being equally as likely to be physically attacked as trans women who are highly visible as trans, controlling for other factors. And nonbinary people assigned male who are highly visible had higher odds of being attacked than any other gender group.
Also, I want to bring up from my tags: I'm curious how much the "other race or multiracial" part would be broken down further by Native people. I also find it the breakdown of physical attacks by gender and urban/suburban/rural to be very interesting.
I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare
a lot of people are reblogging this saying that most "lazy" people are actually just disabled or that the concept of laziness itself is a product of our society's obsession with productivity. this is all true, but it is not my point.
even if someone WAS just lazy and simply didn't want to do anything but lie on the couch and watch tv, they should still have these things. it's irrelevant whether some people aren't actually lazy because everyone, including hypothetical lazy people, should have their basic needs met.
if we have the resources to do it, there is no defense of letting people die because they don't want to work, and much less because they can't.
I don't want lazy people to have basic necessities because they "actually" deserve them because they ARE working or CAN'T work. I want lazy people to have basic necessities because they are people, and we shouldn't leave them to die when we have the resources not to.

Das korrupte, hypokritische, strohdumme Stück Scheiße, das während Corona unser Gesundheitsminister war tritt endlich zurück.
Fuck you very much, Jens Spahn. Good riddance.

uninstall adobe acrobat. it is malware. it has been malware. these aren't opinions: acrobat meets the definition of malware.
it installs a user-login-time "startup" executable that ignores any windows directives to disable it on startup. doing so only removes the even-more-malicious taskbar-icon-creating advertisement-notification-creating process. no matter what you do, the sleeper "updater" process starts when you log in, and runs perpetually
it sends & receives encrypted network traffic both periodically and non-periodically. both are bad, both are suspicious, and a program doing both is more suspicious than the sum of their parts. and to boot: acrobat will polymorphically edit its code after such network activity
this isn't new: it has always done this. now, it does not even do the thing it is meant to: provide a way to interact with documents, which is amongst the very first features computers were built to provide. you can merely open PDFs and read some of their content in the narrow space between the requests for adobe to give them your money, and interface for features you cannot use (because you don't) or do not, have not, and will not ever need
adobe and microsoft would very much like the user's cultural norms around computers to allow for advertisement built into the local software and even operating system itself. the web being 100% advertisements was not enough! sure enough, acrobat will hijack the windows notifications system thing to give you the 2026 equivalent of pop-ups
i don't really know enough about windows software equivalents, so i'll paypal $20 to the first person that reblogs this with a list of 3-5 PDF reader/editor/etc acrobat equivalents that meet the following criteria:
open source, locally-built executables must match checksum of prebuilt distributed executable
no paid features/premium version/subscription/whatever
not a toy hobby project thing, must be windows-users-proof
cheers
Firefox's built-in PDF.js viewer: does everything you could want from a basic viewer, fast enough search, and can now do annotations for filling in forms and such
KDE Okular: is a decent viewer and can also do basic annotations, and is so not-a-toy that you can even download it on the Windows app store.
LibreOffice Draw: I don't ever really like having to open this but if you have to edit a PDF in detail it does work, and doesn't just vomit up a bunch of polygons when you give it text to work with. Better as an authoring tool than an editor.
I've 100% replaced free acrobat with the firefox built-in and it works wonderfully for general office use and research/reading/viewing. It doesn't have robust redaction capabilities, but if you need to fill and sign and highlight a form it's actually much more intuitive than acrobat reader.
