honestly that "it costs 0 dollars to be kind" bullshit is bullshit. it does cost things to be kind. it costs time. it costs energy. and it isn't always easy and it isn't always natural. it costs so much to be kind, sometimes. but that's the whole point. if being kind were easy, or simple, every single person would be an angel. but they're not, and the world isn't easy and simple. so no, it does cost something to be kind. but it's worth it anyway.
‘Harry was naked about thirty minutes ago in that room. Running around.’
‘It’s not true.’
‘It’s so true.’
how can you eat the fried hearts of something that once was alive and had a beating heart? do you feel any guilt? i hope you do.
please google what an artichoke is
THIS is how artichokes are meant to live!!! FREE and BEAUTIFUL!!
They are gentle herbivores that are essential to the ecosystem!!! They live in small family units. Here you can see the mother artichoke leaving her brood to graze. They’ll stay near the tree until she returns. They’re almost grown, so they’ll eat some of the vegetation near the tree, but they still rely on her milk.
Unfortunately, artichokes in captivity - including wild animals who are captured alive and force-fed an unnatural diet to “flavor” the flesh before butchering - are mutilated to make them easier to handle. This is called “trimming,” but that’s a euphemism. A handler slices off the stem, which is used for locomotion, to keep the artichokes from running. The nose is then cut off, leaving a raw wound. Although the artichoke’s scales are soft and also their only source of protection, the tips of each one is snipped off. All so that handlers won’t be pricked on the sharp tips.
All so we can have this disgusting “food.” Yes, the pic on the right are the hearts, torn right out of the artichokes’ corpses and marinated.
I’m sorry to be so graphic, but the truth must be known. I bet your spinach-artichoke dip doesn’t seem worth it anymore, does it?
Noticed I've got a few ao3 invites. Mutuals are welcome in dms 🧡
Every year I diagnose at least one cat with renal failure due to lily poisoning. If you have cats please don’t have lilies.
We’ve had 4 this year already, not really looking forward to Easter
We’ve had a few in the clinic I work for as well. Keep your cats safe, everyone!
Good morning! I’m salty.
I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.
This, right here? This is asking for consent. It’s a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that you’re emotionally capable of handling it.
You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.
“Children are going to lie about their age” is probably true, but that’s the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.
If you’re not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, don’t fucking click through this. And if you do, for all that’s holy, don’t blame anyone else for it.
This needs to be reblogged today.
Consenting to see adult content doesn’t mean you should have to see a bunch of shit romanticizing incest and pedophilia you walnut
Except this is the last line of consent before the actual work. So if you’re at this button you have already done the following:
1) chosen to go onto AO3 in the first place
2) chosen the fandom you wish to read about
3) had the chance to filter for the things you do want to see like a specific pairing or a specific AU
4) had the chance to specifically filter out any tags you don’t want to see like, oh I don’t know, incest and non-con and dub-con and paedophilia
5) had the chance to set the rating level if you wish to remove any explicit content at all
6) have read the summary of the story, which aren’t always great but are the only indicator of what the story will be like writing wise so something about it was good enough for you to click on it.
7) have read the tags of the story which will tell you what is actually in the story. If you have used filters to remove stories with things you don’t want then there shouldn’t be anything in here that’s a shock to you but maybe there is. That’s why the tags are there for you to check for yourself.
8) Then you have to actually click on the story. You cannot see anything other than the summary or the tags without personally deciding that you are going to open and read this story.
9) Only here, at step number nine, do you get to the adult content warning pictured above. You have been through eight different steps, the last six of which have also been opportunities for you to see that this has adult content. And AO3 has *STILL* stopped you to ask one last time “are you sure you want to read this because it has things that only adults should see in it”.
If after this point you are reading incest and paedophilia then it’s probably because you specifically went looking for it.
You walnut.
This is the most beautiful thing that I have seen about ao3
“You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.”
Stop complaining with writers when you dislike a story FGS
This also works when stories are tagged, oh say, infidelity. If you don’t want to read about someone in your OTP being unfaithful (I.E., HAVING SEX WITH A DIFFERENT PERSON), don’t read that freaking story. The tags are there for YOU. So stop complaining when the story contains exactly what the author says it contains. Freaking hell.
If I go to the supermarket, walk down the fish aisle, pick up a salmon fillet, pay for it, take it home, put it in the oven, wait for it, take it out, then take a bite…
I cannot complain to Tesco that I don’t like fish.

LISTEN TO BOB ROSS.
Bob Ross was paid $0 to make his series. He made a living giving lessons IRL and later selling his own line of paints and brushes.
I apologize for not reblogging him as much but everyone needs this on their dash daily. Seriously everyone needs this on their blog or wherever. Do they rerun this anymore or no?
Words of wisdom!
you can watch his show on youtube
A thing about comic book covers and movie posters that I’ve always found hilarious is that you have:
Your standard male superhero poses: action shots, brooding shots, typically forward facing, stoic and heroic
Then you have one of your typical female superhero poses: a coy over the shoulder look with plenty of side boob and ass, objectifying and unnecessary
And then you have Bucky Barnes.
Like I know that they do this to show off his arm, but I chose to believe that someone in the graphic design department at Marvel is just extremely horny and needs Bucky’s ass on every poster
I never realised they did it for the arm I just thought the people responsible for the photos were like “Has long hair, wears leather, is the damsel in distress of the main superhero. This is obviously the female love-interest!” And then Sebastian Stan was like “Yeah, fuck D*sn*y!” And showed his assets
Here. Have kudos on that fanfic you wrote in your head while you were in the shower and never typed it out. When I recover from the brilliance of it, I’ll come back to leave a review.
NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg is a self proclaimed crafter. A week ago she made a stuffed dinosaur from scraps on the space station. The little T-rex is made form the lining of Russian food containers and the toy is stuffed with scraps from an old T-shirt. While many toys have flown into space, this is the first produced in space.

THIS IS SO CUTE AND IS MAKING MY SCI-FI CRAFTER ASS SO DAMN HAPPY
Crafting in Space!
It’s hard enough to find a needle when you drop it in an environment WITH gravity.
Playboy’s catcall flowchart.
I’m reblogging Playboy. Somebody stop me.
Even Playboy wants men to stop screaming at women on the street. When the pinnacle of female objectification is telling you you’re being a sexist pig, maybe for real you’re being a sexist pig. (I mean, women have been telling you you’re a sexist pig for catcalling for a long time, but then again, they’re *women* so their opinions don’t count. Now a magazine for men has acknowledged it so LISTEN UP.)
