An Ill Made Knight

[juney-blues]

I'm thinking of Symphony of the Sixth Blast Furnace by Evgeny Sedukhin again...

[juney-blues]

hmm okay i'm trying to dig up a source on this painting, to see if i could find it in any higher quality

but i can't find any evidence of its existence from before 2018 lmao

and searching the artist's name only gets me like 6 pages of results on google

and a little artist showcase page on arthive for this guy with exactly 1 painting listed

and a biography that spells this guy's name like 5 different ways

which i'm pretty sure is because it's machine translated from something

very mysterious

[juney-blues]

oh doing his name in russian gives me some actually useful results, why didn't i think to do that

Invasive species versus a second, stronger invasive species

[doctorpotatomd]

Australia did this at one point, intentionally releasing cats into the bush in an attempt to control the invasive rabbit population. Now we have invasive feral cats as well as invasive rabbits👌

[pukicho]

A third, even stronger invasive species will surely do the trick

Many things about the world make sense when you realize this is the exact same principle guiding 50 years of CIA intervention in the middle east

i made your favorite dish. i made you something you’ve never tried before. i love you. i spent twenty minutes chopping. my grandmother made this for me when i was little. i made this dairy free for you. i love you. i want to eat together. the onions made me cry. i love you. i learned this recipe for you. i love you. i made this special for your birthday. i love you. i know you don’t like peppers. i love you. i love you. i love you.

If you want to stand up for transgender Canadians, then there's a petition to ask the federal government to repeal the acts signed into law that restrict transgender medical care for transgender youth:

You need only be a resident of Canada, not a citizen to sign. Please help us give transgender youth a fighting chance. Their medical care decisions should be between the handling physician and family only. This isn't a matter for politicians to decide.

people will insist humans are naturally selfish when feeding the birds is a common hobby. when there are wildlife hospitals you can call when you find an injured fox outside. do we get anything from helping wild animals? i don't think so. it's not personal. it's just nice. it's something we have the resources to do, so we do it. i think thats worth remembering.

[objectivistnerd]

It's selfish because I want bird more than bread. Not that complicated.

[leviathan-supersystem]

great that was easy mode. now explain how you fit people who throw themselves on a grenade to save other people into a descriptive egoist framework without stretching the concept of "self-interest" beyond the breaking point and rendering it meaningless (ie no "oh well they want those other people to be alive more than they want to be alive" that's obviously prioritizing other people's needs over one's own and redefining "self interest" to be just "a thing someone wants")

Toward an Anthropological Theory of Value by David Graeber

[aceofsquiddles]

I was thinking about how ‘Grinch’ and ‘Scrooge’ are words for people who hate Christmas but aren’t exact synonyms and then this chart happened.

post of the year 2025 i think

[nonaferatu]

This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:

If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.

This is a PSA to about 3/4s of the Portland Youth populace

The problem isn't the over designed twinks or the silly horse girls or the goofy cookies it's the gambling. You guys know it's the gambling right? I need to you all to know the problem with gatcha games is that they're just normalizing gambling addictions to younger generations.

[crimsonender]

yes! this!!! the big grift of gacha games is that they've convinced people they aren't gambling or contributing to the machine of gambling! its a free world and we all have our vices I am not going to blow you up for playing poker at a casino or smashing your yuri cookies together but you absolutely need to treat both the same way

my inflammatory opinion is that there's a lot of jokes on here that autistic people call ableist that aren't actually ableist, and the reason they didn't get the joke wasn't because op was socially excluding autistic people, but because they (the autistic people calling the joke ableist) are condescending assholes

[lakesbian]

like you know the "poking my inflated burning hot phone battery with a twig for fun" type of post. it's kind of like smooth sharking but different because it involves a scenario being presented that's super cartoonish beyond just someone pretending to believe something dumb. for example there's the one post where a woman pretended not to know what snow on the windshield of her car was, and then she posted a picture of her pretending to drive while being like xD the road is bumpy today. And There Were People Taking It Seriously. and the specific Tone of taking it seriously is never like. concern or fear or confusion. it's always leaping to insult the op for being such a Moron Who Deserves To Die. like i don't think you actually have the level of impaired functioning necessary to be incapable of stepping back and going "is the op so stupid that theyre literally committing vehicular manslaughter, or is it a joke?" i think the reason you're not stepping back to ask yourself that is because you're just assuming by default that everyone else is a stupid fucking idiot moron. your default mode is to assume that someone is the dumbest piece of shit alive and start condescending them or mocking them for it instead of considering a more generous alternative even briefly. also why are you acting like you care about ableism when your response to seeing someone whom you believe doesn't meet your standards for intelligence/doesn't get something--but clearly has no malice towards anyone--is to condescend them and make fun of them. ESPECIALLY when you're taking the joke seriously enough to assume that they're unknowingly putting themselves at risk?? like you're telling me you thought this person might be about to blow themselves up with a phone battery bomb from not understanding that it's dangerous and your response was to decide they Deserve It??? AND YOU THINK THEY'RE ABLEIST ?

[lakesbian]

like you know what i mean. im not talking about the people who don't get it and are taking up a normal tone about it i think it's bad when people respond to those people to carry on the bit instead of just explaining so they're not worried/confused. but what the Hell is going on with people who start wishing for people to die over their looney tunes tumblr post bit & then call it ableist when they realize it's a gag. bonus points if someone explains it nicely and they still get mad like they weren't just getting legitimately furious at someone for seemingly not understanding something simple. your problem is you love finding ways to decide other people are idiots so you can laugh about it and insult them

[cryptotheism]

One of the wierdest things about being transfem is that people will hate you for ideological reasons so arcane it might as well be automatism.

[cryptotheism]

Every few days its like oh neat, didn't know history could move through a society like that.

[cryptotheism]

Literally within 3 minutes of posting this, some terf showed up in the comments describing themselves as a "fem-democrat gender atheist" like you are barely even aware of your worldview girl. You are several historical forces being squeezed through a sphincter of aesthetics and vague disgust. Arterial spray ass way to move through life. L.
