idk anything about this but I love it
If any competition needed to be on Tumblr, it's this one.
Thanks @slightlylightly founded by Sunny Somrat,Ā This is Ā SSFood Challenge
The players in and around Bangladesh play and are rewarded with food even losers get food. The combination of colorful games and the feel-good factor of nobody going home empty-handed has given Somrat a genuine hit.
I have you blocked because I don't like your blog at all but I hope you're doing well. ok blocking you again adieu
Hello???
Anon bb come back i can change for you
becoming homophobic because when two characters in a scene have the same pronouns you have to say their names one william times
finally some good advice on this post
how to do things that everyone else seems to do no problem
its quite easy to make noises. oouugghhhh. aaaaauuuhhh. uwaaaaaaa. awawaaa. it comes naturally to me
At 1 PM on a Friday I get an email from my boss. I'm busy as hell so I don't check it immediately. Then I get a phone call from my boss, which has almost never happened before. I'm a white collar worker, a historian. There's never a 'historical emergency' requiring a phone call to kick me in the ass and get to work.
The request is so urgent my boss needs it by the end of the work week. Which, y'know, is 5 PM on a Friday. So I have four hours to do it.
It's a forwarded request. Somebody contacted a member of the donation team asking for help, "I need a map from the Vietnam War to use for a presentation." It's somebody she's trying to coax into giving a five figure donation to the museum.
The request was asked to the donation team member, who then emailed my boss, who then emailed and called me urgently.
This map required:
North and South Vietnam in it
All four areas that South Vietnam was divided into for military purposes ('Corps') clearly delineated
Four cities, all of them horrifically misspelled, and only identifiable because I know what battle the requester is asking about (itās in III Corps on the border with Cambodia) (the requester danced around the battle but Iām knowledgeable enough to identify it)
Has Laos and Cambodia in it
Has the Ho Chi Minh Trail in it
So. I was mad about the 'you have literally four hours to find a map with a lot of requirements.'
I was then mad at myself about finding a copyright free map from Texas Tech University within half an hour, proving her right for asking me to do it.
Then, after I found a map that perfectly met the requirements, I was equally amazed, baffled, and horrified when I read further into the forwarded email chain.
The donation team team member they were speaking to used AI to generate a map.
The above put half of North Vietnam in South Vietnam, made the Ho Chi Minh Trail a country, made 60% of Cambodia part of South Vietnam, put the DMZ extremely high up in North Vietnam, completely disconnected the southern tip of Vietnam, misplaced all of the Corps zones, etc etc
At the very last second the donation team member had a moment of divine clarity, remembering there's three historians on payroll to ask for this kind of thing from. So she contacted my boss while saying, "I had fun with this, but I decided I should check for accuracy before I send it to the donor! I need a fact check by the end of the day, then I send it"
My boss, while not the most knowledgeable on the Vietnam War, does know her geography. She took one look, and knew it was so off she called me to tell me how urgent it is that I look at the email and respond
good fucking god, jesus tap dancing goddamn christ, I'm glad I was asked to look at it and then find a real map
My fear has never been that AI would replace human intelligence. My fear has been that the people who Know Things and the people who Make The Decisions are almost never the same people.
Weāre throwing real intelligence out on the street to starve while worshipping the shambling Frankenstein-ed corpse of knowledge puppeteered by those who see us as disposable assets.
ānever kill yourselfā is such a funny phrase to me that i think itās accidently started working. its like an affrimation. say ānever kill yourselfā enough times as a joke and maybe you wonāt try to kill yourself over minor inconviences anymore
i made this image for the express purpose of this
it's pride month
everyone get more understanding of the asexual spectrum right nOW
extremely funny to me that Kermit the Frog is the only main overlap character between Sesame Street and The Muppets. imagine your day job is hanging out in a community of lovely people that genuinely just want to help kids learn and care about everyone so so much and then your night job is the reason that you have to stay up to date on your rabies AND tetanus vaccine
at noon the giant you're hanging out with is Big Bird! a wonderful fellow who likes reading stories and singing and telling fun facts! at midnight there's a giant named Sweetums who makes you feel like you're being hunted for sport
Ernie, trying to maybe come out to Kermit: well you know Kermit, me and Bert-
Bert: Bert and I
Ernie: Bert and I, we've been best friends forever, but we're also something else too!
Kermit, who every goddamn night has to tell Beaker and Bunsen to keep it professional, deal with Statler and Waldorf's bullshit, AND update his organizational chart on Dr. Teeth and the Electric Polycule: that's really great to hear fellas, happy for you two! :)
Grover, alarmed at having spilled some finger paint on Kermit's flipper: I am so sorry, Kermit. Please forgive me.
Kermit, who deals with a multitude of bodily fluids on his person and all over the theatre every evening, who is unintentionally trampled by large monsters as they exit the stage, and quite intentionally has his little froggy bones launched into a wall most nights by Miss Piggy: It's ok, Grover. I'm a frog. I love baths.
On Sesame Street: Oh, no, Telly is watching too much television!
The Muppet Show Theater, that night: Gonzo attempts to explain his latest fetish at length.
girls looooove telling you their favorite numbers when being photographed. it's usually 2 or 4
I feel like if humans swallowed rocks like birds do to help grind up food we'd have so much fun with it.
Can just imagine all the girlies on tiktok going "I know this is a bit controversial but I honestly love using limestone as a gastrolith. Not only can you readily forage it but they are just so pretty when smoothed out after regurgitating them"
and then all the comments would be like " girl š š calcite dissolves in stomach acid!! Just use quartz if you want a pretty gastrolith like š"
I like this site. Yāall just shotgunning counterfactual timelines
hi hello i am online and ready to bother you
Random thing for people to consider is that since Laika is the saint of one way trips should Felicette be known as the saint of safe landings since she did make it back to the ground safely
tu LANCES fƩlicette ? tu lances son corps comme la fusƩe ? oh ! oh ! prison pour les scientifiques ! prison pour les scientifiques pendant Un Mille Ans !
You can understand the French perfectly fine with only context but the English translation I got still had me floored

pride button concepts
not guaranteeing anything, butā¦
(the general design language will be applied to different hazard symbols and pride flags)
(from left to right) which one do like most?
white background, flag symbol
black background, flag symbol
flag background, black symbol
flag background, white symbol
...and what size? (all are the same price)
1.5 in
2.25 in
3 in
okay now if you HAD to choose between these two
white
black
here are my current ideas:
(the colors definitely need a lot of tweaking so ignore them for now)
feel free to give me your suggestions btw
maybe they should all have hands or figures in them? and each year I could pick a different theme?
what about all hands?
...and one with all bodies
all hands, all bodies, or no theme?
all hands
all bodies
no theme
I don't know if anybody knew this, but as a tattoo artist I will tell you.
During the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and early 1990s, men who had contracted HIV would have the biohazard symbol tattooed prominently (usually on a forearm) to warn potential sexual partners of infection.
This also served as a green light to other infected people that raw encounters were possible, since once infected, one couldn't get RE-infected by a different partner. Might as well enjoy the life you have left, right?
Anyway I think that's an important anecdote and a tiny piece of history.
Yes! I did know this!
Thatās why Iām on the fence about using it hereā Thereās something I really like about the history, but Iām not sure if itās something appropriate to reference here
