My cat Bishop sits outside my door every morning once she hears the alarm clock go off.
The morning murps
Someone has waited HOURS to tell you all the gossip.
this is like the cat version of the professor clip of him going āhello!ā every morning the same way
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now iām thinkingā¦.maybe this is the good luck post
ā¦..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
Gonna try it. Need me some good luck.

Given the state of British politics these days, the watery swordflinging bint option is becoming increasingly attractive.
The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.
I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he āregularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,ā I have a strong spiritual connection with him.
I fucking love him
i can imagine this guyās voice very clearly in my head but i couldnāt put a name to itĀ
He also jabs racists in the eye!
I love the justice grandpa of fists

"You are no longer licensed to use the software," Adobe told them.
Friendly reminder that GIMP does pretty much everything Photoshop does, and itās 100% free. Fuck DRM and the license culture, we have plenty of open source options available to us as a consumer.
Lightworks is a freeware video editor on par with Premiere
Blender is an excellent freeware 3D renderer,possibly better than After Effects
Lightzone to replace Lightroom
Inkscape to replace Illustratr
Audacity to replace Audition (I also received a free version of Pro Tools with my Scarlett Solo audio interface)
If Adobe is going to be greedy shitheads, then fuck āem. Donāt use their stuff. Freeware can be just as good, if not better, than Adobe CC.
Firealpaca/Medibang are much better alternative, FREE drawing programs, I need yāall to stop recommending GIMP because itās bad. Itās very bad.
GIMP really doesnāt work. If you need Photoshop alternative, take Medibang. I also recommend FireAlpaca. You can do editing similar to Medibang with FireAlpaca. Both Medibang and FireAlpaca have a tool to make comic panels easily
I really like Krita! Itās a lot like Photoshop but free.
Jazza has a comparison video for all the free Photoshop alternatives on YouTube too.
That straight up is exactly what I expected corvid art to look like tbh.
This is the most goth shit Iāve ever seen
So Close And Yet So Farā¦
Oh man that towel-blanket tree is genius, the Cryptids would love that!Ā
Ruby BridgesĀ wasĀ the first black child to desegregate the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana during the New Orleans school desegregation crisis in 1960.
This movie made me cry, I was so heart broken by how Ruby Bridges was treated! She was only 6, but was so strong.Ā She is a very brave girl and she did not care what the white folks called her.
People are simply disgusting to minimize people by skin color!
Ruby you might not think youāre a heroā¦ But to other people you are! You are A HERO and you are A PERSON WHO MADE AMERICA CHANGE!
this is white culture, this is their history, this is their legacyā¦being enraged at a damn baby just because sheās black.
sheās still alive by the way
Ruby Bridges in 2010Ā
āAs Bridges describes it, āDriving up I could see the crowd, but living in New Orleans, I actually thought it was Mardi Gras. There was a large crowd of people outside of the school. They were throwing things and shouting, and that sort of goes on in New Orleans at Mardi Gras.āĀ Former United States Deputy Marshal Charles Burks later recalled, āShe showed a lot of courage. She never cried. She didnāt whimper. She just marched along like a little soldier, and weāre all very very proud of her.āĀ
U.S. Marshals escorted Bridges to and from school
As soon as Bridges entered the school, white parents pulled their own children out; all the teachers refused to teach while a black child was enrolled. Only one person agreed to teach Ruby and that was Barbara Henry, from Boston, Massachusetts, and for over a year Henry taught her alone, āas if she were teaching a whole class.ā
Every morning, as Bridges walked to school, one woman would threaten to poison her;Ā because of this, the U.S. Marshals dispatched by President Eisenhower, who were overseeing her safety, allowed Ruby to eat only the food that she brought from home.
Another woman at the school put a black baby doll in a wooden coffin and protested with it outside the school, a sight that Bridges Hall has said āscared me more than the nasty things people screamed at us.ā At her motherās suggestion, Bridges began to pray on the way to school, which she found provided protection from the comments yelled at her on the daily walks.ā

THIS SHIT WAS ONLY 58 YEARS AGO. PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS RACIST TERRORISM AND ACTS LIKE IT ARE STILL ALIVE, AND THEIR KIDS ARE IN THEIR 40ā²S AND 50ā²S.Ā
DONāT LET RACISM APOLOGISTS GET AWAY WITHĀ āWHY ARE YOU LIVING IN THE PAST,ā BULLSHIT ARGUMENTS. WE ARE LITERALLY STILL DEALING WITH THE FAMILIES THAT FORMED HATE MOBS OVER BLACK CHILDREN ATTENDING SCHOOL WITH WHITE KIDS.
This was her then:
This is literally how she looks in 2017.Ā
Sheās literally not even Ā old.Ā

October 14, 1977, Anita Bryant is pied for her antigay bigotry at a press conference in Des Moines, IA.
It was 40 years ago todayā¦
Never gets old.
40 years on and it still is gratifying
Anitaās still alive and kicking and being anti-gay. Thom Higgins, who threw the pie when he was 27 ā and was poetically from Beaver Dam ā passed away 17 years later at 44. Info on his life is here. The pie throwing was a big deal. In an age before the internet let gays feel connected, and long before ACT UP, the pie showed small pockets of gays that we could fight back.
it showed that gays were human beings, who might be in the room with you, that you had been accepting as being equals and treating as people. you didnt suspect them as bieng gay, why should you treat them different after? do they become less human after finding out? i mean, its almost like you just found out they have an oppinion on your bullshit
Anita Bryant was also the spokeswoman of Florida Orange Juice! Getting pied in the face was iconic and a huge deal but what really made an impact was that the LGBT Community and its allies started a boycott against Florida Orange Juice.Ā People stopped buying Florida Orange Juice and Florida Citrus as direct pushback against Anita Bryant and her āSave Our Childrenā anti-gay coalition.Ā
Harvey Milk was even in on it and told people to stop drinking the stuff at breakfast. Gay and lesbian bars refused to serve orange juice or any drink made with it. They would make screwdrivers and other cocktails that traditionally called for orange juice with other alternatives like grapefruit. The only way you could get something with orange juice in it was if you brought your own fresh oranges and squeezed them yourself (some bars had handheld citrus juicers on the bar top) but if you brought in something with Florida Citrus on the label, it would get poured down the drain.
This was the first organized boycott in support the LGBT community. People called it the Gaycott and it got national coverage. Anita Bryant and her homophobic propaganda (she was the one who famously would tout āGays canāt reproduce so they have to recruit.ā and spread fear towards parents about gays corrupting children) truly gave gays across the nation something to unite against and it inadvertently gave LGBT people a much larger stage to have their voices heard. Wherever she went, there were protests. There were magazine covers, tv reports, songs about the boycott, and a whole bunch of anti-Anita/anti-orange juice merch.Ā
Scenes from the 2016 World Nomad Games hosted inĀ Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan. The World Nomad Games brings athletes from various countries, primarily from the Central Asian region and Russia, to participate in sports native to the Eurasian Steppe. The Eurasian Steppe was home to various nomadic peoples particularly the Iranic-speaking Scythians and Sarmatians, who were a source of fear for the ancient Greeks due to their warriorlike nature and great horse-riding skills; including their mastery of horseback archery. Both groups are believed to have originated in the Eurasian Steppes, but their settlements ranged from China to Poland, and because of this they greatly impacted the genetic pool and cultures of a number of different groups in Eastern Europe and Central Asia such as the people of the Caucasus, Slavs, Turkic people, and other modern Iranic people. The Sarmatians in particular were famed by Greek historians for their female warriors and rulers that inspired the stories of the Amazons.Ā
Youāre telling em weāve been watching people swim back and forth across a pool in the olympics when these guys have foot archery and horseriding on fire?
Theyāre doing fucking GYMNASTICS on a horse, holy shitā¦
I used to have geese so hereās a tip for everyone:
If a goose is attacking you, donāt run. No matter what, stand your ground. They can fly but when theyāre mad, they donāt usually try to fly. Hold your hands in front of you, ready to grasp. When the goose gets close, grab it by the neck bit closest to the head and squeeze. Not tight enough to choke the goose, but tight enough so they canāt break free. You can hold them until they calm down or just do the next step right away. The next step is literally just to chuck them as far as possible and run for your life. It makes the goose know youāre in charge and you have a better chance of getting away. Trust me Iāve done this so many times that Iāve lost count
I canāt tell if this is a shitpost or actual advice. But I do know geese are the fucking worst.
Actual advice! Just yeet a goose
Yeet the geese
Iāve been reading the replies to this so hereās an update!
DO NOT KICK A GOOSE. Geese are very important for nature as they maintain insect populations and they help pick weeds that try to kill useful plants! Geese are good, theyāre just grumpy. Never kick one because you could fatally injure them. They do not have the bone structure to survive a strong kick.
I had to deal with this a lot because my family bred geese. Geese are not happy about their eggs being taken so after you take one, they remember for their whole lives. We had a farm, we did what we had to do in order to survive. We loved our geese and our geese loved us, just not when we were taking their babies.
Do not kill Geese just because theyāre mean. Please
Yes you could crawl towards them, but that only works if itās one goose. If itās more than one attacking you, you can yeet them as they get close.
This post was about white geese, which is what we bred, but you can do this for Canadian geese too! Because attacking a Canadian goose can get you a fine and even jail time, this is a much nicer approach to being attacked by a goose.
Also for some reason a lot of replies are saying this can break a gooseās neck???? It canāt??? Donāt spread lies. Geese are built to be picked up by the neck and they have tons of muscles in their necks to support being thrown. This is how they fight each other. It doesnāt hurt them. Just stuns them.
DO NOT DO THIS TO SWANS!!!!!!! SWANS ARE EVIL IF YOU ARE BEING ATTACKED BY A SWAN JUST ACCEPT YOUR DEATH. THEY WILL NOT BE STUNNED. THEY WILL NOT FORGET. THEY WILL FOLLOW YOU HOME AND MURDER YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. SWANS ARE DEMONS
Didnāt know the untitled goose game has a new feature
Can someone from the Pokemon fandom explain this, I donāt understand nurse Joyās reaction.
Ho-oh is basically a minor deity, so nurse joy pretty much just heard this ten year old say āi threw a rat at a god.ā
i threw a rat at a god
The best part? Pikachu is awake. Pokemon faint upon being defeated.
What Nurse Joy heard was more along the lines of āI threw a mouse at a god and the mouse won.ā
what is a king to a god
what is a god to a ten year old with an electric mouse

Japanese Sumo robots
this is the funniest gif iāve seen all week what the fuck is going on
the best part is this isnāt even HALF the relentless bullshit insanity that goes on in robot sumo wrestling, a sport where the contestants are all hyperfast robots with scoop attachments and preprogrammed moves.Ā
(this one wants to be a beyblade when it grows up)
the idea is to include as many unique moves as you can, to make your shrieking deathbot difficult to counter
or dodging. that works too.
also, some of the speed demons haveā¦ unorthodox attachments to fool other botās sensors
WIIINGS MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRR
robot sumo is also a sport where spectators may end up taking a small robot to the shins if they arenāt careful.
FLYYYYYYY
I hope you enjoyed our foray into madness!
IT GOT BETTER!!!
Yāall. Looking at professionally made sumo robots is great. You know whatās better though? Looking at extremely UNprofessionally made sumo robots.
Here enjoy.
oh my god please watch this video
āshe gave up looking for the robot and sent us a photo of her having a beer. the crowd applauded this act of supreme crappiness.ā
one robot is just a kleenex box with a bunch of dildos on it, one does nothing but shake a packet of instant soup, i love humanity so much right now
!!!
lads im goin into cardiac arrest
shoutout to the robot reacting to sound, transfixed at the cheering audience instead of its opponent
We could turn on the heat. OR we could invest in cat sweaters.
I think I made the right choice.
My wife disputes this.
