we should make fun of americans more. why dont their shops include tax in the price tag. like how much does this item cost? its a surprise :)

[moomoobooboo-deactivated2020102]

Honestly, tea. I’ve lived here my whole life and I have never once known what my total is gonna be at the register. Total fucking mystery.

im an ex-american living in new zealand for the past two years and it still never fails to blow my mind that i can take a $2 coin, walk up to a counter with two $1 items, and perform the expected transaction

[greekedtext]

Alright, So I kinda drew Raekai for once because he recently got a lot of art  and i felt really inspired, yadda, yadda, i love my TWEWY oc BUUUUT the Pork City screenshots were way too small to be used as a background without losing any quality when englarged (also i didn’t like the way the black outline clashed with his wings.

So like any good artist with a death wish, I redrew Pork City in it’s entirety (and simplified it for my needs slightly, SO, I GUESS that’s something mildly impressive, which is why I added the versions without Raekai and the black frame.

Back in the woods again

[irresponsible-black-unicorn-dea]

Ok so……there’s this big stick just like ..sitting in the woods right…and there’s a bunch of thorns that have grown around it right in a wide radius so I crawled under them to get to the spot and my fingers are cold typing this but….I'mma touch it

[frogeyedape]

I hope you end up inheriting some eldritch power for pulling The Forbidden Stick out of The Woods

[irresponsible-black-unicorn-dea]

so I did take it and high-key recorded it just in case anything weird happened but the only thing that really feels different is I just feel warm but that’s probably from adrenaline

Probably

but the interesting thing is I realize the area it was in I actually passed on my way down but I didn’t see it at all for some reason! and it was like stuck in there pretty well which I guess could have come from falling downwards but….??

[irresponsible-black-unicorn-dea]

Also during my journey on return home with the …thing…I found a random patch of grass… just in a circle, no snow….and it was warm to sit in the spot 😂 y'all this is getting to be a bit much

[irresponsible-black-unicorn-dea]

This also isn’t the first one I’ve found in the past year….if you’ve been here awhile you probably recognize these two >_>

Continuation, I spent more time in the woods today and realized I haven’t shown you one of my favorite spots so I brought my camera and a tripod. Some people say extra, I prefer extra fabulous

I just saw that people have cut down some of the Joshua trees during this shutdown and I want to cry

[systlin]

w H A T

[maximumsunshine]

The what trees?  Someone explain?  I want to be appropriately sad.  I mean, I’m sad either way because trees are better than people.  But why are these trees more special than usual?

[systlin]

They’re a rare species, and one that is very stunning, and also one that is very vulnerable to habitat loss and climate change. 

And if I ever get my hands on one of the people who did this, I will be hard pressed to not kill them. 

[kamikaze-kumquat]

Did you see WHY they cut them down? They cut them down so they could go off roading in closed off areas of pristine desert.

Some fucking people should not be let out of their cages.

[systlin]

I take what I said back. 

I would ABSOLUTELY have to kill them.

These are Joshua trees.  They can be 300 years old (and at tallest, 15 meters).

Their range isn’t confined to the national park, fortunately.  They are found in spots throughout southern CA, NV, and AZ.  

This news makes me absolutely furious.  

Read those articles.  A lot of people think that you can’t “damage” the desert, because they don’t realize it’s not “just rocks and sand”, but an extremely delicate ecosystem that takes decades to grow even a little bit.  Once damaged, it probably won’t repair itself in these assholes’ lifetimes.

And this is exactly the kind of thing that the national parks were established to combat – the mindset of “what does it matter if I cut down some of these trees, there are lots more right over there; what does it matter if I go off-roading, there’s more desert than anyone really needs”.  It’s a profoundly selfish and wasteful mindset.

Just this week I went googling around – hesitantly – to see what the latest news is from Yellowstone.  All of the parks are in danger of poachers coming in while the rangers are understaffed, but I feel like Yellowstone is especially vulnerable, because its wildlife is famous, and in cases like the wolf reintroduction there, infamous amongst exactly the same kind of people who are committing vandalism throughout the parks.

Fortunately, at least so far, I haven’t found any news reports of poachers targeting the wildlife.  There are apparently a lot of local businesses (probably near many of the parks, but particularly Yellowstone) that are chipping in money for cleaning and upkeep and, one expects, security, because those businesses depend on visitors to the parks for their own survival.  (Which is why the shutdown affects far more than just the 800k workers who aren’t being paid.)

Some people are absolutely awful, and the only thing I can take comfort from at the moment is that there are also many people who love the parks, know the danger they face right now, and who are trying to help protect them.

English and Welsh Ramblers have seven years left to catalogue the nation's footpaths, or they will be absorbed into private lands

There are an estimated 140,000 miles of footpaths in England and Wales, public rights of way that cut across all manner of private land, and due to various quirks of history they have never been fully mapped.

It’s been 19 years since an Act in Parliament set a deadline of Jan 1, 2026 to map every footpath, and after that, footpaths that are not mapped can be reabsorbed into the private lands they cross, ending ancient rights of way.

The Ramblers, a hiking society with radical roots that fomented the creation of the nation’s national parks, are leading the charge to complete the maps, through the Don’t Lose Your Way campaign.

While many of the footpaths they’re struggling to save have simply been forgotten, others have been deliberately obscured, often by farmers who want to keep strangers from crossing their fields, and resort to trickery like misleading signs and barbed wire to obfuscate the footpaths.

I’ve spent many happy hours rambling, mostly in Norfolk, where all the paths we took were well-marked, well-loved and well-maintained. The footpaths are a visible remnant of the ancient compact between private landowners and the common people, embodied in such documents as the Charter of the Forest, a much more important and radical document than the Magna Carta.

Throwback to the time my poor German teacher had to explain the concept of formal and informal pronouns to a class full of Australians and everyone was scandalised and loudly complained “why can’t I treat everyone the same?” “I don’t want to be a Sie!” “but being friendly is respectful!” “wouldn’t using ‘du’ just show I like them?” until one guy conceded “I suppose maybe I’d use Sie with someone like the prime minister, if he weren’t such a cunt” and my teacher ended up with her head in her hands saying “you are all banned from using du until I can trust you”

[deflare]

God help Japanese teachers in Australia.

[languageoclock]

if this isnt an accurate representation of australia idk what is

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Australia’s reverse-formality respect culture is fascinating. We don’t even really think about it until we try to communicate or learn about another culture and the rules that are pretty standard for most of the world just feel so wrong. I went to America this one time and I kept automatically thinking that strangers using ‘sir’ and ‘ma’am’ were sassing me. 

Australians could not be trusted with a language with ingrained tiers of formal address. The most formal forms would immediately become synonyms for ‘go fuck yourself’ and if you weren’t using the most informal version possible within three sentences of meeting someone they’d take it to mean you hated them.

[hollowedskin]

100% true.

the difference between “‘scuse me” and “excuse me” is a fistfight

Thoughts on the new Power Wheels ride on wild thing? To me it looks very much like an electric wheel chair and thought that it was in bad taste to make a toy out of something disabled people need and often have a hard time getting. Then again I'm ablebodied and might be thinking too much into a children's toy...

—

I had no idea what you were talking about so I looked it up and my first reaction was a creepily realistic vision of child-me screaming, “WHOA!”

Look at this thing!

I wish my wheelchair looked like that when I was a kid. Hell, I wish my wheelchair looks like that as a 24 year old grad student! 

I think you’re coming at this all wrong, not because you’re thinking too much about a children’s toy, but because you’re thinking too much about what would offend wheelchair-users when you’re a Walker. I mean, the last I checked, you Walkers all seem to like standing for some reason, but you don’t see me getting a bad taste in my mouth whenever I see one of those nifty hoverboard scooters that takes standing to a whole new level  So why would you (or specifically, why would we as wheelchair-users) be upset that this toy takes sitting to a whole new level? A really cool level at that? It’s no different.

Besides these things are actually way cheaper than pediatric wheelchairs! Why aren’t we having kids use these instead of the hospitals chairs? Wait, I just read this article, people are beginning to use them as wheelchairs:

https://mobilitymgmt.com/articles/2017/06/01/wild-thing.aspx

Yeah, this gets absolutely no criticism from me! On the contrary, this is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, both from a toy standpoint and a disability standpoint. 10/10 PowerWheels! My fourth-grade-self-who-was-too-poor-to-afford-you-but-buttered-up-to-the-rich-kid-in-elementary-school-because-he-had-a-Chevy-Silverado respected you and my 24-year-old-grad-student-self continues to respect you! You get a Gatsby gif!

[alwaysatomicconniseur]

These are genius! The only downside I can see is when the kid outgrows it. but let’s be real, it’d be worth it!

[emirael]

I lost my father to Pokemon Go and I regret so many life decisions. I’m the one who told him about the game. I’m the one who initially encouraged him. What have I done?

Now he starts every phone call with a Pokemon update. He gets all the names wrong and asks me what a Dragonite is called every time he brings up the “fat fighting orange dragon”

It’s gotten so bad he’s started watching the anime on Netflix. Help.

[emirael]

Okay adding to this. My dad isn’t great at remembering the names of things. So during our pokemon update phone calls, he says shit like this:

“I have a cool pineapple head now!”

“I was down to my last stripey ball trying to catch the blue dragon snake. I told him if he ran away I was gonna be so mad.”

“And the gym had one of those big fat orange dragons!” (he still can’t remember what a Dragonite is called)

BUT THEN. but then. he’s also like, OUTRAGEOUSLY into it now? He’s level 27 and talks about how “the gym wars are brutal, babe,” and how long it takes to take down a level 10 gym? (LEVEL T E N)

And a couple weeks ago he called me to talk about the merits of the old-style Gyrados (which he pronounces guy-rad-os sorry I can’t stop him) that has the dragon breath move, versus the new ones that don’t because Niantic made a change. And he has like 6 Gyrados because his work is by a Magikarp nest or something? HOW MANY fucking magikarp do you catch for 6 gyrados? He’s about to evolve two more. H E L P.

and he says shit like, “Learning about individualized values really radicalized my thinking.” and he means it. Before he evolves ANY pokemon he googles CP estimates and has a pokemon calculator??

This morning he called me because he finally has enough Dratini candy to evolve a fat fighting dragon and wanted to talk about which Dragonair he should evolve. (One with high CP but bad IVs, one with medium-high CP, but okay IVs, and one with the lowest CP of the 3, but A+ IVs) And at this point he’s so far beyond my skill with the game (he’s been higher-leveled than me for months now) that I don’t even know what to tell him. I literally can’t advise him.

My father is more of a pokemon master than I ever was. The other day he texted me the team rocket theme song.

[emirael]

Team Instinct. I told him I was Team Valor when I first told him about the game and he was like, “Okay I’ll join your team babe!”

And then idk he forgot?? And when his account crashed after a week he did a Pikachu restart (that should have tipped me off about the impending obession tbh) and he picked Instinct again.

I ain’t even mad bruh. He so clearly belongs in Instinct. He’s happy there. It’s his natural habitat. Before work he goes and meets up with some other Instinct people to take the Georgetown Cupcake gym in DC. It’s super cute.

My dad will be your Team Instinct dad if you need one

[emirael]

So my dad has always been in the habit of getting to work early. I don’t know wtf he used to do, but now when he gets in early, he goes to the Georgetown Cupcake gym in DC and apparently teams up with “some friends I’ve never met” to take down the gym for Team Instinct.

Then he goes to work and keeps the game open so he can grab Magikarp every couple minutes. Apparently his work is like ON a friggin nest.

He keeps his Pokemon Go habit a secret at work. Nobody knows. On his lunch break, he says, “hey I’m gonna go for a walk” and goes on a 12-pokestop loop. He makes sure to hit up the local Dratini and Pikachu nests (the presence of which is UNFAIR AF). He also take a few minutes to reinforce ‘his’ gym, by which point has been under attack a few times.

At work, he keeps his phone on data instead of wifi (he has unlimited data. For some godforsaken reason he went through 30GB/mo BEFORE Pokemon Go.) because that means his avatar jumps around a bit more?? He says he opens and closes the app a few times to reset it and get the GPS connection to reset and nab him a few pokemon.

Apparently he gets about 140 pokeballs a day. And goes through them all.

[emirael]

This got a new batch of notes, so here’s a Dad Update.

He has 114 Pikachu candy. I hate him. Apparently he’s watching the anime almost every night. He’s on season 2. I think he’s just gonna go through and watch it A L L which is a prospect so terrifying it needs no explanation.

Out of the 6 Gyrados he’s evolved, he’s kept the top 3. He sent me some screencaps the other day of his current top-contender Magikarp and the pokedex entry, where you can see he’s caught 585 of them.

Five hundred eighty five. Who tf has TIME for that??

Apparently he still hasn’t decided which Magikarp to evolve.

He should make level 28 in a day or so.

[airyairyquitecontrary-deactivat]

this dad will truly protect the world from devastation

[annoyinglylogical]

My dad works on my college campus and every night when he comes home he comes to my room right away and tells me about all the pokemon he caught that day.

[emirael]

Oh look, I’m on my dash again. Seems as good a time as any for an update. I bought him a yellow PoGo keychain for xmas. I will let you know how he responds when I give it to him:

He has started wearing yellow shoes for #TeamInstinct pride lol:

And he’s started wearing a pikachu tshirt. He is on season 4 of the anime. He watches EVERY EPISODE in order. I’m dying. He’s level 30, going on 31. He has over 9 gyrados now, and has enough candy for two more, but doesn’t see the point. He’s about to get his 4th dragonite. One of his dragonite has been stuck at the top of a level 10 gym for like 3 weeks now, since before he hit level 30, and he’s upset he can’t get it back to power it up.

This is my favorite post

[deckit-shibuya]

Hey there! My name is Kiga and I’ve been a fan of TWEWY since 2015, I know it’s not really all that long of a time, but this game and fandom have quickly become an important aspect of my life, which is why I want to do a collaboration project to showcase how much this game means to me and many other people! Introducing: Deck It, Shibuya!

I was wondering how many people would be interested in a TWEWY themed tarot deck (or standard playing cards)? I plan to use makeplayingcards.com, but if you’ve had experiences with another company and are satisfied with them, feel free to let me know and I’ll definitely check them out! If everything goes well, these cards SHOULD be released in about a year! Which means that preorders SHOULD open at around August/September 2019!

But before ALL OF THAT takes place, I need to know if you would be even interested! However you answer will change how the project is tackled in its entirety, so please be thoughtful with your responses and answers!

There will be follow up posts to come if enough interest is generated, as well as artist and mod applications, so stay tuned and help us out!

💀💀💀 SURVEY LINK 💀💀💀

[deckit-shibuya]

HEY GANG!

Guess what?! We’re only TWO more interest submissions from bringing this project to life– it’s so close!! But at the same time, interest forms are closing in three days- just after midnight Honolulu time!

If we don’t get those two final and all important interest submissions; the entire project will not continue.

Unfortunately, that will be the case. I don’t want think about it, since this project means so much to me, but if thats the case: there will be no mod apps on the first of december, there will be no artist apps on the 10th of december: there will be no card project if we don’t reach the minimum amount of submissions.

So please, if you like tarot cards, playing cards, or twewy: please consider reblogging us to get the word out there!
