It gets wierder and more troubling too. Apparently the CEO that met with trump has abruptly stepped down. The company is now being run by one of its founders. Wtf is going on here?

have not seen it in america but that IS pretty fuckin horrifying so like hey what the fuck

[fluffmugger]

You really need to see this in the US because everyone else on the fucking planet has been seeing this for nearly a week and we are PISSED

Your government, in the middle of a global fucking pandemic, literally tried to buy the vaccine under development for said pandemic exclusively for the US.

This isn’t just a daily fail bullshit squawk, this has been confirmed by multiple sources, INCLUDING THE GODDAMN GERMAN GOVERNMENT.  “CAPITALISM HAS LIMITS” and you have crossed a fucking line.

I'm kinda meh about roof gardens/ grass roofs bc they can accumulate a lot of weight and collapse/ cause leaks

But living walls? Mighty sexy

They provide natural insulation, which not only keeps the heat in during cold days, but keeps the heat out during hot ones. It's better planned and maintained than vines (depending on the plant ofc).

Flooding in urban areas can be reduced since the roots and the growing medium will hold in moisture. Air can be purified, and heat can be reduced because of evaporation.

I just love living walls

Imagine cities that are also forests and prairies because they actually make an effort to integrate nature into all of their surroundings

instagram be like: get a nose job, hoe out, do some squats, lose weight, buy skinny tea, buy fenty beauty, buy a kylie lip kit, get your summer body, get engaged, get pregnant, lose the baby weight, dedicate yourself to sex and beauty and men and makeup and your man, shave your eyebrows off then draw them back on-

right pals i cannot stress this enough: unfollow celebs. unfollow influencers. follow artists. follow painters. follow people who plant flowers in pavement cracks. follow bopo activists with similar body types to yours. follow your favourite restaurants and cafes to check out what they've added to their menus. follow comedians. follow accounts that post positive memes. follow cute dogs and cats and hedgehogs. follow tattoo artists. follow shops that make ethical clothes. follow people who paint murals on the walls of buildings. follow environmental and lgbt+ and blm charities. follow authors. follow poets. follow second hand book shops. follow bakers. follow film reviewers. follow tags for countries and cities you'd like to travel to and your favourite books. then like the hell out of all those posts so that's what your explore feed starts showing you. instagram can be so much more than we've let it become. it's a platform for photos and there are far more things out there to see than "perfect" (photoshopped) bodies

gay character: *doesn't have sex*

yall demons: this is blatant homophobia, we get it, you're all disgusted by the concept of gay people having sex, go be bigoted elsewhere 😤

gay character: *has sex*

yall demons: oh i see, you can only respect a gay character if they're being oversexualised? is that it? this is blatant homophobia, there's more to being gay than having sex with other gay people. i can't believe this bigotry still exists in 2019 😤

people complaining about the lack of content in fandoms lately: maybe if y'all didn’t steal and repost other people’s hard work and actually showed your appreciation for it by liking it, commenting on it, reblogging it, etc, and/or didn’t spend all your time harassing people who like things you don’t like, or like things differently than you, fanartists and writers would feel like producing more work?

The new Cats trailer came out and I’m actually gonna start screaming

[ldkmmkldfs-deactivated20220707]

Hollywood: hey do y’all want some weirdly hyperrealistic furry characters with weird mocap, uncanny designs and an overall look that makes you want to throw up?

[ldkmmkldfs-deactivated20220707]

I was just complaining about how bad the Cats film looks and how it should have just been animated and apparently that was an idea that later got scrapped

I’ve never been more upset

[masterge77]

It gets better: Spielburg was going to be producing it, and the reason it was scrapped was because the animation studio that was going to make it ended up closing down, and as a result the project was scrapped.

Um… how the fuck is there a lure on an unreachable pokestop? Like, I’m watching this thing, and there are no boats near it. Why is there a stop even out there?

[fuckboyzuko]

I mean, I have a kayak at home. I could go get it and paddle out there just to see what the deal is. Is it worth it?

[fuckboyzuko]

I AM FUCKING DOING THIS.

[fuckboyzuko]

I am literally sitting here in a kayak catching pokemon, and I still can’t figure out how someone got a lure on this pokestop. It’s just me out here, no other boats, like what the hell. People on the shore are staring at me. I can feel them judging me for actually paddling out to this pokestop. GOTTA CATCH EM ALL.

[fuckboyzuko]

When I got back to the shore, a guy asked me if he could borrow my kayak to get the pokestop, and now I’m charging people $10 a pop to use it.

[nerdgasrnz]

Pokemon is amazing this is like those moments when you would play the games and you gotta use “Surf” to see what item’s on the sandbar across the way

Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.

Someone: hires a woman

Men: “THIS IS LITERAL OPRESSION”

The automatic assumption that recruiting women equals hiring less qualified people is some serious sexism at work.

I have … a tip.

If you’re writing something that involves an aspect of life that you have not experienced, you obviously have to do research on it. You have to find other examples of it in order to accurately incorporate it into your story realistically.

But don’t just look at professional write ups. Don’t stop at wikepedia or webMD. Look up first person accounts.

I wrote a fic once where a character has frequent seizures. Naturally, I was all over the wikipedia page for seizures, the related pages, other medical websites, etc.

But I also looked at Yahoo asks where people where asking more obscure questions, sometimes asked by people who were experiencing seizures, sometimes answered by people who have had seizures.

I looked to YouTube. Found a few individual videos of people detailing how their seizures usually played out. So found a few channels that were mostly dedicated to displaying the daily habits of someone who was epileptic.

I looked at blogs and articles written by people who have had seizures regularly for as long as they can remember. But I also read the frantic posts from people who were newly diagnosed or had only had one and were worried about another.

When I wrote that fic, I got a comment from someone saying that I had touched upon aspects of movement disorders that they had never seen portrayed in media and that they had found representation in my art that they just never had before. And I think it’s because of the details. The little things.

The wiki page for seizures tells you the technicalities of it all, the terminology. It tells you what can cause them and what the symptoms are. It tells you how to deal with them, how to prevent them.

But it doesn’t tell you how some people with seizures are wary of holding sharp objects or hot liquids. It doesn’t tell you how epileptics feel when they’ve just found out that they’re prone to fits. It doesn’t tell you how their friends and family react to the news.

This applies to any and all writing. And any and all subjects. Disabilities. Sexualities. Ethnicities. Cultures. Professions. Hobbies. Traumas. If you haven’t experienced something first hand, talk to people that have. Listen to people that have. Don’t stop at the scholarly sources. They don’t always have all that you need.
