big fan of this trailcam photo @vyxie-venomous pointed out looks like an ad from a 90s-era gaming magazine
I made it real
i think "[sic]" is one of the funniest things of literature. like yeah this guy really wrote it out like that
For the uninitiated, you write [sic]âliterally "this" or "so" in latinâto indicate that you haven't altered the wording or spelling. While it can be used to preserve a joke misspelling (aminals) or indicate that you know it looks weird (the Toronto Maple Leafs), it is also the most biting three letters that you can throw at a motherfucker who should know better.
Somebody made an error here and it sure wasn't me (derogatory)
Some people donât want to hear this but sometimes accessibility is not sustainable or eco-friendly. Disabled people sometimes need straws, or pre-made meals in plastic containers, or single-use items. Just because you can work with your foods in their least processed and packaged form doesnât mean everyone else can.
I mean, if we're talking about a more...academic? rigorous? accurate? definition of sustainability, something has to meet human needs to be sustainable. A "sustainable" system that disabled people can't use isn't sustainable. Not distracting from your point just saying that "sustainability" is supposed to actually include the needs of people.
Also. In my opinion it's a good thing we invented plastic. Plastic is good at a lot of things. There are some applications where there really Isn't a more sustainable alternative. A lot of medical equipment needs to be single-use plastic and there's not really a way around it.
When we're talking material properties of a substance, plastic does stuff that other materials can't. It's not brittle. It can be flexible. It can be lightweight. It doesn't expand and contract a bunch with temperature. It can allow light through. And it doesn't corrode or biodegrade, which is bad but it's also good because it doesn't change or become contaminated while you're using it.
I bet the abled âleftistsâ are going to be real cool and normal about this.
I saw a post one time that was like "in a just world with equality for everyone, people in rich imperialist countries would have access to less of expensive luxuries and that's okay" but one of their examples of these expensive things that wouldnt be in the world anymore with equality was. MRI machines.
I don't know about y'all but I think theres like, a ranked list of the frivolousness of expensive technologies, and all medical technology is collectively dead at the fucking bottom
^ ^ ^
If your "better world" doesn't have room for disabled people then it's just ~ecofascism~
is jake gyllenhaal gay??
why would you ask us, a narnia blog, this
happy pride month to this post specifically
There was recently a copyright infringement case in YA and I need everyone to know that the following sentence was in the legal decision:
âHot, sexy, dangerous boys, central to virtually all young adult romance novels, cannot be copyrighted.â
âRegarding setting, the court held that both works taking place in Alaska high schools was not protectable because Alaska is a public place and setting a teen novel in a high school is a common genre convention.â
Freeman v. Deebs-Elkenaney | Loeb & Loeb LLP
I've read the entire decision (skimming over the purely legal precedent/definitions bit) and here are some of my favorite bits:

Fun fact: Cheetahs only attack prey that runs
jesus that is good to know.
Yup, thatâs the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesnât involved you getting eaten.Â
REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit
my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and heâd just lie with them and sleep among them and theyâd rub against him and chirp at him theyâre big fucking babies
Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reasonâs theyâre going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, theyâll lose their cubs. So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying. So whatâd they do? They gave the cheetahâs their very own Service Dogs! The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!
AJHHHHFDDGHH SO PRECIOUS
this post just got so much better
THIS IS OFFICIALLY MY FAVOURITE POST
this is emmett and cullen they are best friends
This is the greatest thing Iâve seen all day.
Dogs are truly angels.
so THATS why these cheetah ft dogo pics exist
the anxiety cat
Also! Cheetahs are not in fact classified as big cats, they are simply very large lesser cats, due to the fact that they purr, meow, chirp, and cannot roar. Also many cheetahs have learned to recognize wildlife photographers are friends and not foes, so they will just come up to people and be friendly occasionally as pictured at the top of the chain. Some will even leave their Cubs with photographers to look after while they hunt. So. Yeah. Cheetahs are great
this works because cheetahs are actually fairly social animals, and they look to members of their group for context on how worried they should be about any given Situation. but since cheetahs are also nervous social animals, they can work each other into an anxiety spiral pretty easily over things like âbeing in an enclosed habitatâ and âthereâs a guy over thereâ.
so by introducing a dog as a member of the group, the cheetahs will now look to the dog for context clues on how worried they should be! and the dog Is Not Worried At All, Thanks, so the cheetahs think everything must be chill even if they were personally unsure about it, and they stop being so freaked out about literally everything.
Cheetah: oh god whatâs going on how are we feeling weird spotless cheetah
Dog: :) fine, thanks
Cheetah: :) oh, okay
Wasnât expecting this of all posts to be the first tumblr post Iâve ever seen crest 2mil notes, but Iâll take it
Me: *Removes my cat from my lap to do something else.*
My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.
The spiritual successor to Miette
Might I also add
May i add the piece from artist Verbal Vomit
Glad to see weâre all in agreement that cats talk like disparaged victorian children
I am so incredibly glad we finally moved on from "i can has". Cats are clearly smart enough for advanced sentence structure and dumb enough to draw entirely incorrect conclusions about what they're talking about.
My cat, banging the cabnet door over and over and over: bang bang bang
Me: you will not earn what you desire by banging the cabinet door.
My cat: This is a test of wills, is it not? We shall see if your ability to put up with my incessant banging outlasts my eternal lust for snackie treats. Years of conditioning have hardened me for this purpose. bang bang bang
Me: ksst!
My cat, throwing herself to the ground like she's been shot: Oh! Oh I have been assailed in my own home! Have mercy, have pity! Surely in the cruel darkness of your heart there is some mote of goodness that might stay your hand! Do not strike me, I pray you!
Me: ok
My cat, after waiting about 3 minutes: bang bang bang

Hey check out the Incarcerated Workersâ Organizing Committee
Just point your browser to https://incarceratedworkers.org/
     About                                    Â
We, the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee (IWOC), are a prisoner-led section of the Industrial Workers of the World.  We struggle to end prison slavery along with allies and supporters on  the outside. On September 9, 2016 we were part of a coalition of inside  and outside groups that launched the largest prison strike in US  history. Resistance to prison slavery continues with work stoppages,  hunger strikes and other acts of resistance to business as usual.
But it will take a mass movement - inside and out - to abolish prison  slavery. We have hundreds of members in over 15 prisons and our  membership continues to grow. We invite all those who agree with our  statement of purpose to join us  and to start a local group in their prison, city, or trailer park. IWW  membership is free to those incarcerated, and is based on income for  those on the outside. We ask supporters to sponsor a prisonerâs  membership for just $5 a month.
Prison Slavery
Incarcerated people are legally slaves as per the 13th Amendment  which abolished âslavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment  for a crimeâ. We are legally slaves. If youâve been to prison youâd  know we are treated like slaves.
Billions are made annually off our backs. Outrageously priced or  grossly inadequate privatized âservicesâ like health care, food, phone  calls, assault our humanity - they feed us like animals, suck our  families dry, and when sick leave us to die. The government spends as  much as an elite college tuition per person to keep each of us  incarcerated, but this money does not develop us as human beings, reduce  crime or make our communities safer.
They also profit from our labor. At least half of the nationâs 1.5 million  of us imprisoned in the United States have jobs yet are paid pennies an  hour, or even nothing at all. Many of us perform the essential work  needed to run the prisons themselves - mopping cellblock floors,  preparing and serving food, filing papers and other prison duties.  Others of us work in âcorrection industriesâ programs  performing work in areas such as clothing and textile, computer aided  design, electronics, and recycling activities. Some of us even  sub-contract with private corporations such as Sprint, Starbucks,  Victoriaâs Secret, and many more.
As incarcerated workers, we are some of the most exploited workers in  the country. There is no minimum wage for prison labor. The average  wage is 20 cents an hour, with some states not paying a wage at all. Up  to 80% of wages can be withheld by prison officials. There are very few  safety regulations and no workerâs compensation for injury on the job.  While in prison, we try to earn money to support our families,  ourselves, and pay victim restitution yet these wages prevent us from  that. We believe that as workers we are guaranteed the same protections  and wages as other workers.
We are working to abolish prison slavery and this system that does not correct anyone or make our communities safer.
Industrial Workers of the World
In addition to abolishing prison slavery, we are also fighting to end  the criminalization, exploitation, and enslavement of working class  people in general. We are part of the larger
Industrial Workers of the World
(IWW), a revolutionary union that has been fighting oppressive systems for over one hundred years.
When first founded, the IWW was the only union open to all-  regardless of race, gender or nationality. Fierce campaigns waged by  miners, dock workers and agricultural workers led to signficant gains in  wages and workplace conditions.
Our revolutionary politics and refusal to sell out led to massive and widespread crackdowns by the US government as part of the Red Scare, and beyond.
Despite this, the union persisted and to this day continues to  organize for a new world. Like, IWOC, the IWW is seeing a resurgence,  with membership steadily growing since 2000.
IWOCâs Statement of Purpose
1. To further the revolutionary goals of incarcerated people and the  IWW through mutual organizing of a worldwide union for emancipation from  the prison system.
2. To build class solidarity amongst members of the working class by  connecting the struggle of people in prison, jails, and immigrant and  juvenile detention centers to workers struggles locally and worldwide.
3. To strategically and tactically support prisoners locally and  worldwide, incorporating an analysis of white supremacy, patriarchy,  prison culture, and capitalism.
4. To actively struggle to end the criminalization, exploitation, and  enslavement of working class people, which disproportionately targets  people of color, immigrants, people with low income, LGBTQ people, young  people, dissidents, and those with mental illness.
5. To amplify the voices of working class people in prison,  especially those engaging in collective action or who put their own  lives at risk to improve the conditions of all.

Huh. I wonder if they weren't abandoned, the cost/environmental impact/efficiency matchup would look like between canals and railroads. I suspect the latter would still win, because they're marvelously efficient, but I wonder. Takes less work in the physics sense to move a shitload of cargo over the surface of water than on rails, doesn't it?
Not really the point, is it?
Actually just a sidenote here:
In southeast Louisiana, all the canals they dug created saltwater intrusion, which, wouldnât be an issue if we hadnât intervened in other ways.
BUT, since we diverted part of the water of the Mississippi River to protect New Orleans, all of the sediment isnât reaching the delta to restore what salt water intrusion is eroding.
We disrupted natures ability to heal itself in the name of commerce.
To this day, we lose 2 football fields per year to saltwater intrusion. Our delta was our strongest protection against hurricanes, since they created a land barrier to starve storms of energy before they reached more densely populated areas.
(And since weâve made the climate worse with constant fossil fuel consumption those storms are only getting stronger but thatâs a story for another post)
So yeah. Canals kind of doomed New Orleans and most of southeast Louisiana. Grand isle is a shadow of what it once was and a bunch of other smaller communities donât even exist anymore.
So uh. Yeah. I donât care if canals are the most efficient foolproof way of transporting cargo. Theyâve fucked up the wetlands of my home in a way we can never truly recover from. Like theyâre TRYING but the state government dumps all the coastal wetland money into oil subsidies instead of restoring what weâve lost.
Because it always comes back to money and âefficiencyâ with these people
I am so utterly fascinated by âSakiâ, the 18-year-running mahjong manga in which you, the reader, become gradually, frog-boilingly aware (over the course of nearly two decadesâ worth of mahjong tournaments) that none of these girls are wearing underwear and most of their boobs are slowly expanding.
I need you to understand that I have, like, an anthropological level fascination with this comic. From the perspective of someone who is also a comic artist and writer, two things delight me about it:
the fact that I understand completely how an artist gets from âthe fans can have a little hint of skirted asscheekâ to âthe pussy is completely out on center pageâ over the course of 18 years; and
the way in which the pussy being out is treated by the characters and diegesis as being utterly unremarkable.
I have so many questions... How does one SUSPECT a manga character isn't wearing underwear? Like, sure, boobs are front and center amd you can see them get bigger panel by panel but how does this work for panties? Are there just that many upskirt shots?
Also how do you keep a manga about Mahjong going for 18 years, what??
Like this, mostly.
The boobs thing is arguably even funnier
I have an important update to this saga:
In chapter 299, the main character unleashes a special attack (???), and immediately after, her boobs DEFLATE BACK DOWN TO A REASONABLE SIZE
And then later in the match, she has to use another special move
And now she's completely flat-chested
In Saki, magical mahjongg power is literally stored in the boobs, which in my opinion is the best possible explanation for all this.
