why was messi lowkey serving saddam hussein hiding spot

Current situation just reminded me! I think it makes some folks nervous or wary that I use the words "white supremacist" so casually. But it's because white supremacy is casual. It's so normalized that we don't even perceive it as such, so when I throw it around it feels like "is everything really-" I mean!

Not every white supremacist is a gun toting maniac! They might be the easiest one to spot, the most extreme example, for sure! Everyone's not that bad. However! It is literally in every act that believes, maintains, and perpetuates the idea that Whiteness is supreme, is superior. The idea that Whiteness is the default, the goal, the expectation. It often buries itself in and aligns with other bigotries!

Hell, even saying "I think that straight hair just looks better on all my Black characters", 👀 WHY do you think that? Do you think that's just something you've always believed? Or has it been reinforced?

Idk, I just think if we start pointing out how often things are racist and/or white supremacist in nature, just how casually we've incorporated it into our lives, anybody who doesn't wanna align with that can start going "okay, so, if this action does this, what else can I do that might be better?"

I’m pissed off I ordered some sticker paper for a project (£6 for 10-14 working day shipping btw) and it just never arrived. After a few weeks I thought oh well, must’ve been the wind, ordered a similar thing from a DIFFERENT website and almost a month later still nothing. I have the order confirmation for that second one, but it looks like this - no product information, no image, no way of viewing what I bought

I clicked ‘visit our store’ in the confirmation email and the store was all bespoke italian homewares(?) decidedly not the stationery shop I ordered from - this was a few days ago, I just went to double check that fact and now the website is…gone

googled the email address they gave me and that’s for a completely different shop front too. basically scammed myself twice so I feel like an idiot but I swear the sites looked legitimate and the prices were not ‘too good to be true!’ it just looked like a normal website 🤡

saw a post with a small list of mythological creatures so. I made my own. About 60 of the creatures were off the dome but those were mostly Celtic mythology, Greek mythology and Generic Creatures so I looked up some others from other cultures. I’ll link some of my sources below.

Disclaimer: I will not have every single creature from every single mythology but I am trying to have a good amount from a multitude of mythologies. Sometimes there were creatures nearly identical from different cultures, so I only kept one.

if you don’t know what it is, Look it up! All of them are very interesting. I had a great time making this.

If you became this Mythical Creature, would you be happy?

Yes! I love this!!!

it’s cool! I’m happy

It’s okay but I’d prefer something else

I’m ambivalent

Not ideal but it’s fine

I do not want or like this

This is the worst thing that could have happened

Felt good as fuck today to go through the park on the walk back from work, take off my sweaty shoes, sit on a spinny thing and just rotate slowly around for 15 minutes while listening to a twilight podcast and doing a butterfly count. I’d been on my feet all day and dangling my legs off the side was so nice.
