So the creator titled this "Caveman Cooking," but I have decided that it is Grug the Orc making Peanut Butter Squares. Link to original post.

Sound on. Trust me.

Bandcamp takes a stand against AI music, banning it from the platform | TechCrunch

"We want musicians to keep making music, and for fans to have confidence that the music they find on Bandcamp was created by humans," the co

Bandcamp’s new guidelines state that music and audio generated “wholly or in substantial part by AI” is not permitted and that it will not allow the use of AI tools to impersonate other artists or styles.

Can I be real guys I don’t think the phrase boys will be boys is salvageable. Stop trying to make it cute it’s not cute it is a phrase that is absolutely rotten to the core at worst and at best it ‘just’ reinforces sexist gender stereotypes seriously stop trying to rehabilitate it it’s cringe.

It’s kind of crazy how people demand that impcore military pigs be coddled into not being part of a genocidal murder machine. They should actually get repeatedly beaten over the head with the reality of the institution they are a part of until they defect or die about it. There shouldn’t be a single second of their lives where they aren’t reminded of what they serve and the blood that is on their hands. Even if they “already know.”

If you're in the US military or National Guard, frag yourself+your entire unit immediately and pray that that is enough penance for the horrors you have facilitated/visited upon the world in the name of imperialism and that you won’t go straight to hell when you bite it.

Liberals love to talk as if members of the US military are an oppressed class.

So many people never learned to live with harmless discomfort at any point in their lives and holy fuck does it show

[little-grey-dowitcher]

“But I wanna know!” You’re gonna have to learn to be ok with not knowing some things, especially when those things involve personal details about strangers that they’re not comfortable sharing.

“But it’s confusing!” If you take the time to educate yourself it’ll no longer be confusing. Otherwise you’re just gonna have to learn to be ok with being confused.

“But it’s weird!” You probably do weird things all the time. Everyone does weird things sometimes. Life goes on.

“But it scares me!” Is it hurting you? No? You’ll be fine. Being scared and being harmed are not always the same thing. Learn to tell the difference and then act accordingly.

“But I want it!” And I want a million dollars. You can’t always get what you want.

[little-grey-dowitcher]

A lot of people were also never told “no” as children and the consequences of that manifest in similar ways. Learn to be ok with being told “no.” You’re not gonna die if you don’t get your way in every single situation ever.

So my roommate and I got these Rudolph Christmas coloring books a couple of weeks back. Since it’s finals week, I wanted to ease my mind into studying by coloring. First time opening the book and I saw this picture..

And I thought to myself

Oh my god do I try.

I swear to god if I get tumblr famous over this stinkin Heman the meme nose reindeer.

if it's snowing where you are keep that to yourself it should have happened to ME

[ember-mage-of-light]

Controversial opinion, but I think it's good to have stories about how people who have done terrible, horrible things can and should try to become better. Especially in societies/under governments that demonize and dehumanize criminals as a whole. Writing off any group of people as irredeemable is wrong and runs the risk of parroting fascist ideals.

[tilthat]

TIL that the reason lead levels in children’s blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.

[squeeful]

Yep.  It also correlates extremely strongly with an increasing decrease of violent crime.  One of the symptoms of low level constant lead exposure is increased aggression and volatility. 

[kurowrites]

“Unknown scientist”? That was Clair Cameron Patterson.

[solarpunkcast]

Gas companies are still so mad at him he’s “unknown scientist”, know his name

[bogleech]

Daily reminder that health and safety standards like these are what politicians mean when they talk about “deregulation.”

[prismatic-bell]

Patterson died 5 December 1995.

Petition to make his date of death a Tumblr holiday celebrated by talking about cool shit the gas and petroleum industries don’t want us to know about, and fighting to continue his work.

[kittydesade]

Happy Clair Cameron Patterson day!

[ailelie]

Oh, hey, it’s almost Clair Cameron Patterson day!

[toskarin]

one of the more bleak things to acknowledge is that if you pirate literally all of your music and then set aside a spotify subscription's worth of money each month to spend on a single pay-what-you-want album, it would almost immediately amount to you supporting those musicians more than streaming does

[toskarin]

pirating all of your music and then buying a hat or something four times a year still makes you pull significantly ahead of the person who streams thousands of songs every year. it's not really a fair or good system for anyone

[imsobadatnicknames2]

What a good post to reblog on bandcamp friday. Remember that any money you spend on albums on bandcamp today goes 100% to the artist.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

I saw a lot of people reblogging this with my addition two days ago and now I'm afraid some of them might have thought it was bandcamp friday that day lol. So for anyone with post timestamps turned off: I made that addition on Friday March 7th 2025. Bandcamp fridays always fall on the first friday of the month (when they do them) so the next one should fall on April 4th

[lensdeer]

The next Bandcamp Friday is on May 2nd, 2025! You can use this page to check how long until the next one :3

The remaining ones this year are:

May 2nd

August 1st

September 5th

October 3rd

Heyyy guess whose annoying persistent UTI turned into a kidney infection??

^ THIS GUY'S

Now I'm on sick leave for the rest of the week. Hope the antibiotics work this time (different kind and a longer course than last time). It's in the early stages, infection values were elevated but not critical yet. I've been having issues on and off since the middle of November. If these meds don't take, I will scream. Perhaps wail.
