i think we are long overdue for a game that does the reverse of 90s first person shooters and actively makes fun of the player for picking the hard difficulty

Happy Pride all the queers in my phone. But an extra happy pride to all the bisexuals in straight passing relationships. To the trans people still living in the closet for their safety. To the nonbinary people getting misgendered. To the ace and aro people who sometimes feel like Pride isn’t for them. To the BIPOC people who face discrimination in the queer community. To everyone who feels like they aren’t queer enough.

You are enough. Pride is for you.

I love meringue. it's a really fun way to know what eating drywall would be like without actually having to do so

[torchickentacos]

and beef jerky feels kind of like eating those heavy-duty dog treats, but for people

I have a proposal for a new tumblr holiday

On June 2, 1922, Clair Cameron Patterson was born.

He is best known for dating the earth (very cool) but his other work has probably saved more lives, both human and otherwise, than almost any other single person in history: thanks to Patterson, we have modern clean room procedures and lead-free gas.

Following Patterson's criticism of the lead industry, he was refused contracts with many research organizations, including the supposedly-neutral United States Public Health Service.[8] In 1971, he was excluded from a National Research Council (NRC) panel on atmospheric lead contamination, even though he was then the foremost expert on the subject.[15]

This man spent decades campaigning against lead in gas, food, paint, and water distribution, against MASSIVE opposition. Even setting aside the lives that would've otherwise ended directly due to lead poisoning, the effect of lead on human cognitive functioning had an incalculable death toll. High lead levels make people more violent and less intelligent, and no one was safe from the atmospheric lead. Thanks to Patterson, crime dropped and IQ's raised across the globe.

I know IQ is famously flawed etc etc, but the point stands that Patterson's success in keeping researcher's labs and brains uncontaminated probably accelerated the advance of all science and medicine by DECADES.

TLDR: this guy saved the world, and I think we should celebrate No Lead Day on June 2.

HAPPY NO LEAD DAY EVERYBODY!!! LETS CELEBRATE BY KISSING YOUR LOCAL GAS STATION CASHIER FULL ON THE MOUTH

they put my blood through every test under the sun and yet nowhere in the pages and pages of lab reports do they tell me what my blood type is

[json-derulo]

your neutrophils absolute? 2.71. anion gap? why, that's 11! hemoglobin A1C? a solid 5.4. and don't fret, champ—your VLDL (calculated) is a cool 12. real fascinating stuff. hm? what's that? you want to know what kind of blood you have? like, so you won't have to look your next ER nurse in the eye and tell her you have no clue what type you have right after giving her a date of birth that confirms you are over 30 years old? psh, don't be silly! we can't tell you that! it's a ✨secret✨

[json-derulo]

do you know your blood type??

yes, I'm certain of it

I think my family told me what it was but I'm not sure/no recent test to confirm

no, I have no clue

I don't have blood/results

Voting ended onJun 2

I got mine from giving blood, the american red cross gives you a little ID with your bloodtype on it.

[taps microphone] I think Owls are big dumb hunks. This was a fun stream of consciousness comic so if some of it is confusing or the dialogue doesn’t match up, don’t worry about it.

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.

Swablu, based on the TCG art by Jiro Sasumo.

Another 3D redraw for @poketcg-art's Pokédex collab! I immediately fell in love upon seeing the original card artwork for this, as Swablu is incredibly cute in it. This meant that my main goal was to make sure that it remained adorable in 3D, while taking a bunch of liberties in pretty much all other parts of the scene.
