This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years.
If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life.
I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.
Got a great ad encouraging people to dismantle surveillance equipment and then sell the guts at a pawn shop
You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.
I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.
Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.
holy shit this person in the notes
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.
oh shit
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.
At time of posting, this is at 711.6k notes

good art is when something looks like real life, the more real it looks the more better the art. abstracted figures give my trad children nightmares, one time they were exposed to cubism and couldn't go outside for a week
Huh fascinating, I wonder what the fash have against Eric Carle? I wonder what he might have said about his life, and influences, and early experiences that makes them say he’s part of an ‘insalubrious culture’?
Franz Marc (1880-1916) was a German painter and printmaker, one of the key figures of the German Expressionist movement.
The artistry of his books, I feel, are purposful. Not just as an artistic expression, which in and of itself is wonderful, but also purposeful as a children's book.
It brings the same "Oh i can make this" vibe to kids that the squiggly lines of Ed, Edd, and Eddy does that parents like that really dont like.
this post will find you when it needs to find you.
just some facts: you are loved. you are not alone. you are valuable. you are worthy of good things. you are deserving of self love and forgiveness. i’m glad you’re still here.

I do not suppose you get to call yourself a crude and cruel child without being told just that.
the way the ISAT fandom continues approaching the topic of the island, its culture and its portrayal from a strictly watsonian perspective continues to piss me off
you can't diegetically explain your way out of the racist implications of portraying fantasy france as better and more progressive than the fantasy version of its real-life colony in your fan works
Some people played this game with their eyes closed I swear.
As someone who's from an island that's been colonized by the mainland, and has actually been forgotten in maps before; Isat and Siffrin's story hit home in ways that I never even considered as possibilities.
I truly feel no empathy nor any kind of understanding whatsoever for people who think like this.
They don't seem to feel any for the people who relate to this very real and tangible event, so why should I give them any grace.
One part of the story that stuck out a lot to me is the party's dismissal and oftentimes mocking attitude towards Siffrin's culture. And some people may say that they acted like that because they didn't remember the island and its existence.
And sure, that can be part of it. But that doesn't erase the fact that they were assholes about it.
And I'm genuinely so glad that this was shown in the game.
Isat focuses a lot on different cultures and beliefs and upbringing, but I feel like some people still miss the point of everything that is shown to us.
We see Mirabelle struggle with the Change Belief, Odile and her estrangement from a culture that "should" feel hers, and Bonnie and Isabeau still managing to connect to some aspects of the Change belief even if not as devotedly as Mira.
We're shown how the Change Belief isn't perfect, obviously, but the people who worship it, despite the difficulties, are still very prideful of it. Which is a very real portrayal about how people are when it comes to their beliefs, and that's obviously fine, and again, important that it was shown.
Which is why, after we've gone through the game learning more about them and their beliefs as Siffrin, someone who doesn't relate nor understand fully said beliefs, but obviously cares about their friends and their lives enough to want to learn more; their dismissal of his beliefs hit so much harder.
We've spent so much time learning and participating in their cultures, that when it's his turn to share, we're instead met with condescension, dismissal and skepticism, it truly feels like a slap in the face.
The stars to his friends are such a foreign concept, something that isn't even considered in any of their beliefs, that when Siffrin mentions them, even if they do it unconsciously, they don't consider it, the same way their beliefs don't.
And that's something that I'm sure more people that I can count can relate to.
Because obviously there's whole systems in place in the world that have been set up precisely to diminish other cultures and write them off and mock them.
And people really don't realize how easy it is to absorb all of these systems and abide to them yourself. And I'm obviously including myself in this, I'm constantly learning and putting in effort so I don't fall into these circles. And Isat shows how easy it truly is to fall back to those preconceptions.
I love all the Isat family members to bits, which is why this was so important to me when it was touched on in the game.
I love them all and I do believe that they're good people, but that didn't exempt them from being assholes to Siffrin and diminishing their culture. Even if unintentionally and done without malice, they still did it.
And I feel like so many people missed the whole point of that happening, and how the story revolves around such prejudices and preconceptions.
The whole story, we're being told: people are more complex than what they seem. The whole story circles around the topic of understanding.
We go through the game learning more about our friends, their lives and their depth, and everything that happens with Siffrin I personally feel falls everybody's shoulders. We've spent so much time dismantling the superficial ideas we had of our friends, and in the entirety of Act 5 we're shown what happens when they can't do the same for Siffrin.
And all of this comes full circle when Siffrin breaks and locks himself in a fight with their friends.
Because while we've spent the whole game breaking down our surface level opinions about our friends, and yet they don't do the same until they're faced with the consequences of their inactions.
And they admit to such. Yes, Siffrin was in the wrong for not talking with them this whole time; but they're just as much at fault for not trying harder to get closer to them, even if it would have been difficult, even if they would have had to pressure, to be uncomfortable; they admit that they've been relying on the same surface levels opinions that they had about Siffrin.
So it makes me so mad when I see people completely miss the point of this game.
Tying back to what this post touched on.
All of the party had an idea about who Siffrin was as a person, and that preconception subconsciously extended to his beliefs.
None of them can ever truly understand fully what Siffrin and the other inhabitants of the Island went through, but they don't have to.
They will never be able to fully relate to them but that's not necessary for them to recognize their errors and learn and be better.
Obviously not everyone will relate to Siffrin's story. And I don't expect everyone to.
But I do expect people to be able to show sympathy to that story, and more importantly, to the people who do relate.
And if some people can't even do that because they'd rather be assholes to make themselves feel better instead of learning from that discomfort; then genuinely fuck off.
Grow the fuck up, if you have to spin the tale about how "actually those people that had that horrible thing happened to them were evil so really it's a good thing that it did"; because you can't sit with the feeling of injustice and unfairness that a (in this case) fictional story invokes; you have a lot of growing and reflecting to do as a person.
