A little Homestuck PSA

As 4/13 is right around the corner I just wanted to remind everyone about the Unofficial Homestuck Collection. As Viz and the death of Flash have been slowly killing the intended Homestuck experience there is still a way to see it how it was meant.

This offline program allows for all the flash to be seen and mini games to be played as intended and helps protect from spoilers. If you are going to start reading Homestuck or are planning to trick some unsuspecting friend into reading please consider using this program!

And - I love new livebloggers! Let me know who you love to watch make this journey.

THE UNOFFICIAL HOMESTUCK COLLECTION

An offline browser built from the ground up to archive Homestuck and its related works.

Also! Homestuck has some language that has not aged well (i.e. slurs and unkind terms, especially towards the begining) so someone also made an optional patch that removes that language and replaces it with stuff that still keeps it funny! Not everything gets replaced outside the main comic but I know they are working on it!

I think it’s hella cool that this option exists for people that may not be comfortable with the very late 2000s internet language of homestuck, but this post opened my eyes to that fact that homestuck mods can exist, like we can mod homestuck now,

Hey all - heads up! They updated to version 2.0.

Bladeless wind turbines generate electricity by shaking, not spinning

Scientists hope to hugely reduce the cost of wind energy by removing the blades from wind farms, instead taking advantage of a special phenomenon to cause the turbines to violently shake.

Vortex, a startup from Spain, has developed the tall sticks known as Bladeless — white poles jutting out of the ground, that are built so that they can oscillate. They do so as a result of the way that the wind is whipped up around them, using a phenomenon that architects avoid happening to buildings and encouraging it so that the sticks shake.

They do so using vortices, which is where the company gets its name from. The bladeless turbines use special magnets to ensure that the turbines are optimised to shake the most they can, whatever speed the wind is travelling at.

As the sticks vibrate, that movement is converted into electricity by an alternator.

These also look like they would cause fewer problems for birds and bats.

[fullcontactmuse]

This is really cool.

[dee-the-red-witch]

They leave off the important note that when the wind rises, each pole makes a sound like a hundred vuvuzelas roaring at once. In the post-apocalyptic world of the future, villagers will speak in hushed tones about the Roaring Plains, and caution adventurous travelers to stay well away. 

[tentakrule]

I appreciate how they essentially invented very useful yet alien-looking screaming pillars. Science continues to make some suspiciously sci-fi shit.

[kweyolgoddess-deactivated201703]

At least you won’t have to go outside to know how windy it is… You’ll hear it.

They provide us warmth

once in 5th grade my mom bought me this set of like 200 glitter pens because I had mentioned that everyone at school was obsessed with them but I didn’t really care for them so the next day I brought them to class and kids started offering to buy them so I sold them for $3 each and I made almost $500 and then I got sent to the principals office and was told I couldn’t sell them anymore like sorry that I was a natural born entrepreneur

[silenthill]

When I was a freshman in High School our Junior/Senior classes were like 90% stoner kids. When you’re a junior/senior, you can leave the school for lunch if you want, so the majority of the kids would go hot box their cars in an abandoned parking lot a few blocks over during lunch hour. However, since they needed time to air out, they always got back after the kitchen stopped selling lunch, and they, of course, had the mega munchies. I started selling kids homemade baked goods at outrageous prices, but I’m a great baker so nobody complained. I was making 25 bucks for 4 muffins, and 8 dollars a brownie. I made like 2 grand before the school made me stop selling food because it wasn’t a “school official bake sale.” but my regulars would slip me cash + orders in the hallways when we passed each other, and there was nothing in school policy about giving away food, so I would just bring them their snacks the next day. The school couldn’t touch me, I was rolling in dough, and rolling out dough, all freshman year. Find your loopholes, kids.

[timonthe-fourtyfive]

born entrepreneurs…. insane…

[peanut-budda-legs-deactivated20]

LOL i know two kids like this.

she made some soap and offered some to my dad and said “Uh 17, I mean 7″ and I was like no, you said it right. 17.

other one sold bracelets

[luvyourselfsomeesteem-deactivat]

I know a guy in highschool who made so much money in sophmore year selling cupcakes the school shut it all down.

[umhi-im-goner-blog]

a kid at my school has a panini-maker so he sells paninis to other students and everyone called him Dan the Panini Man but the campus police people shut him down because it’s not legal to sell food if it’s not a bake sale or w/e so now he’s Dan the Paper Towel Man and he sells paper towels, but with each paper towel purchase, you get a free panini

so me and @swifty-fox (we’re such losers) were talking and just!!! alec with BACK DIMPLES and FRECKLES all over his tummy!!! prepare yourselves!!!

so magnus doesn’t really notice them at first but one night, when he and alec are laying really close (shirtless), magnus is kinda tracing his fingers along alec’s skin. (he’s so gentle and elegant and alec feels so so so safe and he’s never been afraid of danger but this. THIS is nice. THIS is so vanilla sweet)

anyways magnus is walking his fingers along alec’s chest and he’s getting lower 

but then he see’s them

FRECKLES 

soft freckles sprinkled across alec’s tummy and he’s like ‘you have FRECKLES’ (imagine ‘what are those’ meme but less meme)

alec kinda hums because he’s so relaxed and magnus is a Goner for this angel 

so magnus shifts and he starts pressing pretty kisses along alec’s tummy

and alec makes noises and magnus pulls away when he realizes that alec’s LAUGHING and GIGGLING 

experimentally, magnus presses more kisses around alec’s navel and just

alec’s ticklish and magnus keeps kissing him until alec’s breathless and wide awake

but wait

what happened to the back DIMPLES

ok lets imagine malec in the mornings and alec wakes up first (of course he does) and he’s all messy hair and sleepy eyes and he sloppily rubs at his face

magnus is still sprawled on the bed when alec sits up but he’s looking at alec, who’s back is now turned to him, and when alec moves to get up, his shirt tugs up and magnus is blessed to see the Dimples on alec’s lower back

magnus isn’t okay because first FRECKLES and now THIS

i cannot continue i am physically unable

Telling a woman who says she doesn’t want kids “You’ll change your mind” is really shitty because

it’s assigning motherhood to a person who is explicitly rejecting it

it’s reinforcing gender roles 

it makes motherhood out to be something you do because you have to, not because you genuinely want to

it’s infantilizing to make it seem like she can’t make decisions about her own life

it’s invalidating of her desires which she is capable of knowing and communicating

it’s telling a grown woman that you know what she wants better than she does
