I got very into Pikmin recently! I guess there's nothing I'm better at than combining my two interests together. Here, have a Pikmin Mario AU everyone :D

Someone in an autism facebook group I'm in just asked "How am I supposed to earn enough to make a living without burning out?"

Someone replied: "You're not. Even neurotypicals can't right now in the system designed for them. We're the canaries in the coalmine. When we start failing, they know something is wrong."

[xxxcastielx]

People keep saying, "Oh, everyone thinks they're neurodivergent now!" or they'll say it's the foods or chemicals or whatever other nonsense they've fallen for, but to me the answer is so obvious?

We've gotten to a point that more and more people are being left behind by the system, making it so that neurodivergent parents who could get by fine *enough* in decades/centuries past are bringing children into a world that cannot and will not attempt to accommodate them. There's nothing in the water and people aren't faking, it's just that this is no longer sustainable or livable and of course people with disabilities will be hit first and hit the hardest. There aren't more people with it, it's just harder to go through life without being aware that you're not functioning the way your peers seem to be able to.

Hah.

I'm not a linguist, so I don't have the terms to really describe what I'm explaining, but I like how the latest Pikmin comic implies that the Pikmin language probably doesn't contain specific words for specific items. Instead, it seems like they communicate almost strictly with descriptive language.

While it's possible that "bulborb" and "mushroom" are just similar sounding words in the Pikmin language, I think the implication is that their language is very context-sensitive, so missing any part of a message can significantly change its meaning.

So for example, "bulborb" might be something like "dangerous spotted big red" in the Pikmin language, then the yellow pikmin might have misheard the "dangerous" part and just heard "spotted big red" which would be their word for "mushroom."

It's very fascinating~

being an adult and trying to be "responsible with my money" is so hard like literally what corners am I supposed to be cutting on this budget. what am I supposed to stop spending money on. my anxiety meds? food for my cats? impulsive takeout orders? spotify premium? patreon artists who draw huge throbbing monster dicks? all of these are completely necessary to maintain my quality of life.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I'm not going to put the person who left these tags on blast but

like actually don't ignore the monster dick part that very much IS a little joy. like idk a lot of people have engaged with this post with a tone of "heehoo obviously that last part is a silly goof goof joke" while also agreeing that people need whimsy and little treats to live and like. why not huge throbbing monster dicks? why can lovingly drawn indie porn not be a thing that we acknowledge as a treat? it's not less pure just because someone is jacking off to it, jacking off is also fun.

[moth-the-man]

Also, people who make monster dicks for a living want to be able to afford little treats too...

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I'm not letting you hide the tags when you're being this correct

#as someone who has gotten to keep a close eye on sales#i personally know how when money gets tight its one of the first things people cut from their purchase list#we've done several refunds for people who ordered and realized it set them back more than they could afford because we get it#its just a little frustrating that everyone goes 'teehee monster dicks funny joke' about my literal livelihood

everyone support your local artisanal monster dick purveyors

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

#thought about making this point before#your little treat is often someone else's livelihood#you need to be able to afford little treats in some part so your neighbors can afford little treats#community is little treats - @awishturnedwell

the smew is a species of duck, and the only living member of their genus (mergellus). the smew is found in europe and the paleartic, living primarily along lakes and slow-moving rivers. smew are easily distinguished from other ducks by the male’s panda-like black and white coloration; females have a grey body and chestnut-colored cap, and are sometimes referred to as the ‘red-headed smew’ despite being the same species. these ducks are talented fishers and feed almost entirely on aquatic prey. they also nest in abandoned woodpecker cavities; ducklings leave the nest a mere ten days after hatching.

For those that aren't in Australia right now, we have the funniest scandal going on.

Firstly let us introduce you to the eye of the storm: Sam Kerr. Sam is a women's soccer player who has in the last year become one of the most famous and beloved athletes in Australia. Captain of the women's national team, Sam became something of a cult figure after the last Women's Soccer World Cup became a complete unpredicted sensation in Australia, with the whole country getting behind the team.

Sam, up until now, has had probably one of the most squeaky clean images in sport. Generally in Australia it is not uncommon for our sports stars to be caught up in scandals involving drugs:

violence:

drinking their own urine:

or if you're cricket legend Shane Warne, probably all three at once.

Contrasting all this, Sam's image as the squeaky clean saviour for sport made it all the more shocking this last week, when it was announced that Kerr was to face trial after having been charged by the UK police of a "racially aggravated offence" involving a taxi driver.

This was shocking news. Nobody knew what to make of it. Sam was a model for young girls everywhere and a national treasure. "This is why we can't have nice things" screamed the nation. It seemed like all hope was lost.

That is, until, yesterday, when the UK police finally revealed the full details of the case, in which Sam Kerr, sporting legend, was arrested for vomiting in a cab, and then telling an intervening police officer that he was a “stupid white bastard”.

Now we probably don't need to point out that in Australia, vomiting in a taxi and then calling a cop a bastard is about as close to a national culture as we have.

You could not have come up with a better headline to make someone a national hero.

Needless to say, Sam in now being hailed down under as the greatest legend that ever lived, and a petition has already been started to have her picture added to the $5 note.

The tide has swung so far that not one, but TWO, state Premiers have spoken out in support of Kerr, and the Prime Minister has even gone on the record describing her as "a delight".

And so ends the racial abuse saga of our greatest sports hero of all time, and the very first reverse milkshake duck to ever exist.

[aokozaki]

Really, our only complaint, nationally, is that she should've called the cop a cunt.

[batshit-auspol]

How remiss of us not to include any pictures of the legend herself

In regards to KOSA:

While it is true that Congress does return from recess Feb. 26th, that doesn’t automatically mean they’ll immediately jump into voting.

The bill only has enough support to pass the Senate—it’ll most likely stall at the House; both due to it having much less support there & how disorganized the House currently is. Even if it does pass—God forbid, the President would have to sign it for it to be official and even then, it’ll likely take several months before it goes into effect.

…That being said, please continue to call both your Senators & especially your House representative; We still don’t even have a concrete date for a vote—You can visit the website pictured to even see for yourself.

Please spread this around. Don’t panic, We still have time!!!

[iri-desky]

New Update on Kosa! Everyone Reblog. It's NOT all over on the 26th.

Congolese Man Self-Immolates to Highlight Overlooked Genocide in Congo

Congolese Man Self-Immolates to Highlight Overlooked Genocide in Congo

I’m really glad that Aaron’s self-immolation for Palestine is getting attention, but on November 8th there was also a Congolese man who did the same thing for the genocide happening in the DRC. From what I read in the article above, his fate and identity are unknown but I think his story should be getting equal amount of traction and I haven’t really seen anyone talking about it on Tumblr specifically yet.
