If this little book should see the light after its 100 years of entombment, I would like its readers to know that the author was a lover of her own sex and devoted the best years of her life in striving for the political equality and social and moral elevation of women.

“The Great Geysers of California” by Laura De Force Gordon, 1879, unearthed from a 100-year-old time capsule in San Francisco, 1979.

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all our letters could be published in the future in a more enlightened time. Then all the world could see how in love we are.”

This “God Creating Things” series by @lonnieiiv on TikTok is HILARIOUS!

[killorbekillian]

God: Now listen to me Gabriel, these are going to be really fun because some go on pizzas.

Gabriel: Yeah, okay, okay.

God: You like that? And then some will make you see things.

Gabriel: ...’Kay?

God: And some, Gabriel, some just... kill you.

Gabriel: [Long pause] You doin’ okay, pal?

this video was made by the devil

[nico-nico-knee]

ah, 5-minute crafts. i can almost guarantee you that most of these won’t even work

[such-justice-wow]

This youtuber does debunking videos and I recognise some of those from her videos

[bleauberry]

I love Ann Reardon when she shits all over these fake how-to videos.

[such-justice-wow]

Yeah she’s great! Her videos were actually featured on a BBC segment on twitter about how dangerous some of these life hacks can be to attempt

[sharkflip]

So the debunking video above led me to watch another debunking video, which started down a very intriguing wormhole of asking why people are producing fake how-to videos like this, and the short version is they’re exploiting algorithms to generate ad revenue and the long version is they’re produced by a Russian content farm that has made some forays into American political ads.

Which is abruptly sobering and worth watching.

[waayix]

Ann Reardon also has a patreon to help keep her channel running because of this shitty algorithm, PLEASE GO SUPPORT HER WHILE YOU CAN!

She seriously doesn’t deserve the treatment youtube’s been giving her, so please support her as much as you can and make sure this shitty farming channel goes down in flames. 

It promotes EXTREMELY DANGEROUS activities such as PUTTING STRAWBERRIES INTO A GLASS OF BLEACH TO TURN THEM WHITE WHICH IS POISONOUS. AND POURING LAVA HOT CARAMEL ONTO A SPINNING WHISK, WHICH WOULD EASILY BURN YOU AND LEAVE A SCAR.

It’s amazing how youtube still tolerates this kind of behavior just because it’s pumping out videos 24/7 and sucking up all of the views. It’s unacceptable and it needs to be stopped as soon as possible.

Again, support Ann Reardon and her cause as much as possible and report the opposing videos promoting this shit. DO NOT LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE VIDEOS! YOU’LL ONLY GIVE THE ALGORITHM THE IDEA THAT THIS VIDEO IS SHAREABLE!

[a-little-slice-of-fandom]

I ADORE Ann Reardon’s videos. She’s got a degree in food science and she knows what’s she’s talking about. All of her debunking videos come with (very easy to understand) scientific explanations for why things won’t work and what to look out for in these videos. One example is the loads of mug cake recipes that you see floating about: if there isn’t something it the mixture that will act as a raising agent (eg baking soda, self rising flour or eggs) then your mug cake just won’t work. She debunks so many stupid (and often dangerous) cooking hacks, along with giving alternative recipes and hacks that actually will work and will be safe.

Plus she’s an Aussie and she’s just an absolute savage when she wants to be. Her humour in these videos is so deadpan and sarcastic and it’s so funny to watch, along with being educational! Her husband, Dave, is also really funny and a great sport (as he’s usually the test subject for the horrible food she’s made following these “hacks”)

But please please please don’t just support these debunking videos. Go watch her other videos! Her recipes are amazing and she’s made some incredible stuff during her time on YouTube (my personal favourite is when she made a portrait of Wonder Woman out of chocolate) and her videos (aside from the debunking ones) are actually really relaxing to watch. During lockdown I’ve been watching them before bed and trying some of the recipes the next day. Also the amount of work that goes into her videos is insane! Lots of them include stop motion animation!!!

So yeah support Ann Reardon and the how to cook that YouTube channel.

who are the Gorillaz?

June is Black Music Month!

so I wanted to highlight who has made the Gorillaz what they really are…

these are not the Gorillaz:

I would argue that even Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn are not the Gorillaz.

from their very inception, the Gorillaz have been made possible by those who Albarn and Hewlett collaborate with. their unique and interesting sound is the result of a multitude of musicians working together.

approximately two thirds of their collaborators have been black musicians

THESE are the Gorillaz that we love so dearly:

so Gorillaz fans, let’s spend some time this month listening to what else these artists have created!

below the cut I list all of these artists and the songs they’re featured in, find your favorite songs and give these collaborators a listen!

If I could somehow find everyone who ever bullied me and ask them why they targeted me, not a single one would say it was because I was autistic. None of them even knew I was.

Instead they’d say it was because I liked Pokemon too much after it stopped being cool, or my clothes looked ridiculous and I wore the same pair of jeans 3 days a week, or that I was just weird/nerdy/unpopular. In many, many cases, that is what neurodiversity looks like. Not someone with an obvious disability, but someone who’s just weird.

I see so many allistics and neurotypicals on here that claim to be anti-ableism but turn around and make jokes at the expense of people who are eccentric but harmless.

If you’re an allistic that claims to support autistic people, but then you turn around and make fun of the woman wearing a bizarre outfit or the guy who speaks in a monotone or the teenager who carries a teddy bear everywhere, you are hurting autistic people who do those same things.
