As a graphic design please let me tell you that I aspire to think of something 1/1000th as clever and execute it even remotely as well as this logo right here

[marlynnofmany]

That IS good!  This one is my other favorite, which I saw online ages ago and never forgot:

I know nothing about this golf club.  But their logo designer is top notch.

This post goes around Tumblr every year, and it’s always true. There’s never been an uneventful or boring January.

Just a reminder that Frederick Banting, discoverer of the process to synthesise insulin, sold the patent for $1 because it was so important to him that it be widely available and easily mass produced. Yes, you should be angry.

Yo, this might be a joke but speaking to you as a social worker who has worked in housing and homelessness services and food banks?

ALWAYS CHOOSE YOUR RENT.

Food pantries are a punch in the nuts to your pride but they require WAY less hoops to jump through to get than the financial side of housing assistance. Also, there is often going to be MORE RESOURCES AVAILABLE for you when it comes to food assistance of MULTIPLE TYPES (food stamps/ebt, places that double said EBT, food pantries, places that just give away free food like soup kitchens, places that give away their leftovers from the day before etc) rather than housing assistance which are neither numerous nor are people likely to apply for.

I personally have used food pantries. I may have to use them again. They are their to help you for that reason, okay? Please fucking choose to pay your rent until we can abolish landlords and live on mutual aid.

Stay housed. Do you hear me, if this choice happens, seek mutual aid or charity for food and STAY HOUSED. Statistically, it is better to hit to your pride, go ask for food assistance, and sleep in your bed and eat that food in your home because coming back from losing said home is going to be so much harder that recovering from food insecurity is.

ITS FUCKED UP THAT WE HAVE TO CHOOSE BUT PLEASE TRUST ME ON THIS ONE OK? JUST TRUST ME.

KAMALA HARRIS THE 49TH VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

it’s the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century.

you can only reblog this today.

finding out that almost all other animals don’t have periods like we do and instead simply reabsorb the egg back into their uterine lining to reuse the nutrients is like finding out the rest of the class has been taking WILDLY easier tests than you for the whole semester

like, hey, cat why don’t you have to use your Cat Dollars to invest in tampons? And cat is just like: fuck that noise, my body is OPTIMAL for not being made of inconvenient nonsense, sucks to be you

wack.

[insomniac-arrest]

humans: hey, bleeding every month is actually really cumbersome and I lose both valuable nutrients AND fluids I need for survival? What the fuck is up?

evolution: yes, alright, but have you considered this about it? *cartoon blow horn noise* 

[what-even-is-thiss]

Human bodies suck for many reasons including but not limited to:

Periods

Bad backs

Permanent breasts that do not leave once baby is weaned

Dangerously large, unprotected, and non retractable male reproductive systems

Huge brain takes up way too much energy gotta eat more sleep less

Baby brain bigger than hips guess birth is life threatening now

Takes like 25 years for big brain to even finish maturing

•Teeth are critical to living, yet not designed to last more than a few years without constant intervention and upkeep, and don’t grow back if this is not accomplished. Also, losing your teeth means the bones in your ear will shift, and your hearing will worsen.

•Breathing, eating, communication all from the same pathway, major choking hazard. Give me a dolphin style breathing tube.

•Most pleasurable nerve endings on the body locating on the filthiest parts of you, guarenteed spread of bacteria.

•knees and shoulders have almost zero capability to heal correctly, once they break, they’re basically broken forever without massive outside influence.

“accidental co-parents of the found family group to lovers” is an underrated trope that i really want to see more of

Hey so the trolley problem is dumb because the real person at fault for any of the deaths is the person who designed the trolley without an emergency braking system, the people who put in the purchase order for a trolley without an emergency braking system, the people who approved a PO for a trolley without an emergency braking system, the people who delivered a trolley without an emergency braking system, the organization that inspected and certified a trolley without an emergency braking system,and the operator who did not make a huge stink about being assigned to a trolley without an emergency braking system.

Whether you pull the lever is irrelevant, because a whoooole mess of people fucked up for you to be in that hypothetical situation.

Seriously, like, as a professional engineer, I find the premise of the trolley problem offensive. Cause like, so many safety regulations have been violated that it's just... insane.

[feanor-the-dragon]

"But, Cody, what if there was an emergency braking system, and it failed?"

Failure to perform regular maintenance and inspection. So, it's still someone else's fault.

"What if maintenance and inspections were done correctly, and it still failed?"

Some engineer somewhere failed to design a failsafe with the necessary redundancies. Again, it's someone else's fault.

"What about sabotage?"

The saboteur is obviously to blame.

"What if it's just a freak accident?"

Once again there's that engineer failing to place redundancies.

"What if it was just an act of God, and the engineer and everyone else did everything right?"

Then God is to blame. Duh. Not sure why this is so hard to get.

[animeengineer]

Any accident investigator will tell you that an accident is caused by a chain of incidents, and there were always several places the disaster could have been stopped.

Trolley problems are just philosophers being cruel to their audiences.

[ingridverse]

I would look at whoever is tying people to trolley tracks. That might be the issue right there.

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

Maybe the real trolley problem was the OSHA violations we made along the way.
