I need a 3D printer.
Edited to include the picture with lid XD
Fun fact: many public libraries now have 3D printers that you can pay to use! We charge per gram of filament so something like this would probably be less than $10! Just a thought for anyone who wants 3D printed stuff w/o having to buy a several hundred dollar machine

i canāt stop thinking about that post about spiderman having a patreon. would he have benefit tiers? $1 guarantees weekly videos of him doing backflips somewhere Very Up High. Monthly goal is his rent with a promise likeĀ āif i have the bare minimum a human being needs to survive i guess I can keep fighting crime which is cool. mutually beneficially.āĀ rumor has it that once someone sent him $1000 directly on ko-fi and he showed up at a birthday party but who knows.
$1 Access to Spidermanās snapchat.
Spider-Man seems like the kinda guy to show up to a kidās birthday party solely to surprise children and eat cake, so whoever allegedly paid $1000 to do what he probably was already planning to do is either very kind or a fool
oh no he crashes childrenās birthday parties all the time and gets party favor baggies. thisĀ was a 21st birthday party which was very stressful bc he kept stumbling over trying to politely refuse drinks bc heās a good kid but while also not revealing heās legally too young to drink
Even better: justā¦ a montage of Spideyās excuses for why he canāt drink
āSorry guys, canāt drink and swingā
āIām, uh, the designated web-slinger!ā
āI actually just finished consuming the liquified remains of a few carjackers, so Iām good thanksā
āā¦i canāt risk it harming my eggsac?ā
āā¦no mouthā
NO MOUTH
this is exactly the kind of āvery pure but also very stressedā peter we all know and love
You can walk in a straight line from Madrid to Shanghai without hitting a major body of water using Earthās curvature.
Egg hatching route.
For everyone who says āthatās not a straight line itās a curved lineā please remember that the Earth is round, not flat. Hereās the line, as rendered with Google Earth:
As you can see, the line is straight!
I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more, but I wouldnāt swim a single mile
Flat eath gone get you for this one

Important details about the Marvel-Sony deal that nobody seems to be mentioning:
Sony does not make ANY money from the movies with Spider-Man in them that are not branded Spider-Man movies, they got no money from Civil War, Infinity War or Endgame, likewise, Marvel didnāt get much from Homecoming and Far From Home
Sony does get paid a licensing fee for Marvel to use Spider-Man, but thatās it, only a licensing fee, none of the profits of the movies
Sony pays for 100% of the Spider-Man movies, they pay to make the movies, while Marvel takes a creative lead and makes most/all of the choices on what happens in the movies
So, when people sayĀ āMarvel made those movies and Sony just slapped their name on themā that is not true, Marvel did not pay a penny to make those movies, Sonyās the one that paid the bills to make those movies, itās just that people from Marvel were involved in making the movie, so Marvel, as a company, got to slap their name on the movie
The deal was only ever for five movies (so, Civil War, Homecoming, Infinity War, Endgame and Far From Home), so the deal was up, and then Marvel came in with idiotic demands and thatās what caused the new deal to dissolve
We also donāt know 100% if this means no Spider-Man in the MCU, the only thing we know is that, as of right now, Marvel/Kevin Feige will not be taking a creative lead in Spider-Man movies, that does not mean Spider-Man is banned from the MCU, maybe it does, but we have no idea
Also, theyāre probably still negotiating, so Sony might end up taking a deal, especially since idiots everywhere are berating them for not letting Disney be greedy (which is what Disney wants)
Also, lots of people are saying that Marvel helped Sony make their highest-grossing movie ever, which, while true, only surpassed Sonyās last highest-grossing movie by $2 million (and, since both those movies went above $1 billion, that means itās only roughly 0.2% higher), so them then asking for 50% of future Spider-Man movies is asking quite a lot, since that would mean roughly a half billion dollar loss on Sonyās part per movie, and theyāre supposed to be okay with that because Marvel helped them make $2 million more on this one movie than theyāve made before? None of the Spider-Man movies that Sony has ever made pulled in less than half of what Far From Home made
So, basically, what happened is this: Marvel, coming off the heels of making the number one highest-grossing movie in cinematic history (which Sony got no money from even though their characters were in the movie), and also having 5 of the top 6 highest-grossing movies of 2019 (the 1 they donāt have being Spider-Man: Far From Home), came to Sony and saidĀ āfuck you buddy we want 50% of the profits from your movies because we donāt have enough money,ā Sony saidĀ āhow about we stick to our original deal?ā and then Marvel decided they wouldnāt help Sony make Spider-Man movies anymore, probably because they figure that itāll lead to them being able to squeeze more money out of Sony. How the fuckĀ is Sony the bad guy here in anybodyāsĀ eyes?
DISNEY IS BEING GREEDY STOP ENABLING THEM.
ugh fine my personal blog is not cutting so Iāll post hereĀ
DO! NOT! DONATE! TO! AMAZON! CONSERVATION! NGOs! DO NOT!
they donāt act on the root of the problem, they donāt mitigate the effects of deforestation, they do have limited action and they donāt help conserve the forest land outside their very small grounds besides doing little to nothing to help the people who actually live in the amazon and conserve it on a daily basis
DONATE TO THE INDIGENOUS MOVEMENTS INSTEAD
they are organized, they can keep woodcutting companies away from their land, they are getting murdered for it, they are the only reason there is any forest left at all
THISĀ is a a fund for indigenous peoples of the Amazon (Brasil only)
THISĀ is a link to donate from abroad to the indigenous womenās march, it has already happened but you can still donate to support the cause
THISĀ is a link to support the free land camp, and you can email them atĀ [email protected]Ā if you really want to find ways to support them, donations will go to APIB (Brazilian Articulation of Indigenous Peoples) and you can keep up with theirĀ newsĀ here
(APIB is coordinated by, among others,Ā Sonia Guajajara! so if you know her you know this means shit will get done)
can we give it up for Suzanne Collins for fucking off into oblivion with her money after hunger games fucking destroyed the YA market for like 6 years. everything YA was dystopianĀ āEVERYONES IN A DIFFERENT QUADRANTā shit from 2010 to 2016 and we didnt hear a peep from her.Ā true fucking power.
And she hasnāt said a word since. Rowling could take some pointers
Yeah but in Collins defense, her book was really good. She perfectly showed PTSD, Katnis trauma from when her mom mentally āabandonedā her when her dad died and the parallel with Katnis depression at the end of the series, perfectly depicted the society and its inherent problems, Finickās back story, socio-economic disparities based on skin colour, Rue and the 11th district, President Coin and how she was as bad as Snow but in an other angle, distrinct 13 and the capitol trying to use her image for the war even though she did want to, and way more stuff I canāt think of right now.
I mean the following Y/A distopian books were mostly bad knock off who thought that the reason the HG had such success was because of the love triangle, but in reality Collins created such a complexe yet very realistic world that makes a parallel to our society of entretainment and war
The Hunger Games was babyās first intro to social justice for a lot of kids back in the early 2010s. They were brilliant books that introduced a lot of complicated concepts in a way teens could understand and enjoy - plus, addictive, well-plotted adventure stories with A+ characterization and worldbuilding. But all the general public seems to remember about them is the love triangle, and I will always be salty about that.
The irony of the Hunger Games is that the media in the book and the media in the real world both chose to focus on the love story instead of the rebellion.
One of my favorite aspects of the book series was the way it dissected the art/science of propaganda/media and the often stark differences in popular figuresā public and private personas. The movies also got that frighteningly correct. Propaganda to oppress and propaganda to uplift were laid side-by-side and used as foils to show how the techniques work to achieve the desired purpose. The direct invocation of āpanem et circensesā (ābread and circuses,ā keeping a population docile by controlling/bestowing distractions regarding food and entertainment) made the point all the clearer. āLook. This is what is being done to distract you.ā
Having Katnissā the symbol of The Common Person at the bottom of the societal hierarchy who most heavily bears the brunt of oppressionā be stiff and awful at scripted propos but a fucking goddess at unscripted, passionately angry speeches and stoking reflection and resistance and rebellion was very deliberate. It is a call to be genuine, to question media narratives and seek facts, to take a long, hard, honest look beyond the sparkling lights and glamor projected by the media to really see and take the downtrodden seriously before their collective patience wears thin enough to snap and they bring out the bombs. Or guillotines, if you want to look at IRL history.
One of my favorite scenes in the series is in Catching Fire: the interviews with the Victors being forced to take part in the Quarter Quell. Especially with the visuals of the movie. The entire thing builds up to when Peeta ādrops the baby bombā and the audience breaks into dismayed/horrified pandemonium and there are calls by the privileged to stop the injustice; it is an escalating series of oppressed, re-victimized individuals turning their glamorized re-victimization into a platform to scream their humanity at the citizens of the Capitol until it seems to finally start seeping in. Stanley Tucci playās Caesar Flickermanās growing discomfort perfectly; IIRC, his calling for the lights and cameras to be cut when the Victors show unity is to use the gesture of slitting a throat. Itās a common gesture, but in this case it has a greater weight: āCut this, kill it, donāt let people see it, these people weāve set up to hate each other joining hands in united defiance is dangerous.ā
That also veers off into an extended lesson in āthe powers that be seek to divide you and turn you against each other to keep you weak.ā In modern terms, you can see it in such things as āwow why should burger-flippers get raises to earn more than the legit heroes who fight crime and save lives and defend our country?ā to turn those groups against each other on the basis of accepted social hierarchy instead of talking together and coming to a consensus of, āYou know, weāre ALL getting screwed and should ALL make more money; letās work together to achieve that.ā
It is highly relevant to this period of civilization. It resonates with the masses. That resonance is amorphous; allowing it to gel into something more solid could erode media/propagandist influence. Thus, whether conscious or just the nature of the beast,
āLOOK AT THE LOVE TRIANGLE! ROMANCE! FOCUS ON THE ROMANCE! ISNāT IT ROMANTIC?! THINKING ABOUT THE DEEPER STUFF IS UNCOMFORTABLE, SO LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL WOMAN AND HANDSOME MEN AND CHOOSE A SIDE AND FIGHT FOR IT! R-O-M-A-N-C-E-!ā
In other words, āPay no attention to the man behind the curtain!ā
In other words, āLetās play up the circus part of panem et circenses.ā
Itās like a social ourobouros. I observe it with a sort of morbid fascination.
Just FYI, Suzanne Collins was pressured by her editor to make a love triangle, and decided to make President Snow be the one pushing the Peeta romance to show that it was forced.
The hunger games did have its problems, but I will always count it as a favourite because of these things.
A heroine who didnāt want to be a heroine, she just wanted to keep her loved ones safe. But sheās being threatened and manipulated at every turn. Enemies and allies alike wonāt let her step back and fade out of the spotlight. Every attempt to take control only tightens their hold.
Realistic portrayal of trauma, and Depression treated as the sickness that it is. No-one says that Mrs Everdeen was wrong toĀ āgo awayā when her husband died, but they donāt gloss over the effect it had on her loved ones, either. The damaged relationships, Katnissās terror of falling in love, the clashes over which one of them isĀ āMotherā to Prim, and her inability to let go and let someone else be the responsible oneā¦ I donāt think that any other YA series has done it so effectively.
Privilege via the Career Districts, and how the oppressed are encouraged to see each other as rivals. Catoās final speech once the blinders are stripped away, and the āsuperiorityāĀ that he believed in is shown to be nothing in the end. He Volunteered for glory, for the pride of his district, and none of it mattered. Even the careers, once it came down to it and they discovered their mortality, just wanted to go home.
The duplicity ofĀ ārealityā TV and public persona vs private person. Finnick, who everyone thinks is a massive man-whore, is actually being forced to be a prostitute, and is entirely devoted to a traumatised, half-mad women, and loves Mags like a second mother. Katniss, one half of theĀ āstar-crossed loversā, was never interested in romance, always expected to marry someone else entirely, and is faking it under the threat of her loved onesā lives. Effie, the flakey escort who loves the Hunger Games, and Hamitch, the heartless drunk, both care far more than they let on.
War isnāt pretty, or heroic, and the good guys donāt always win. Rue, Finnick, Prim, the twins whose names I canāt rememberā¦ all of the people that we desperately hoped would get their happy endingā¦ didnāt. Even the survivors struggled with PTSD. Friendships were irrevocably changed. War leaves scars, both visible and invisible, and the innocent are caught in the crossfire.
The Hunger Games was a game-changer, and the fact that people only remember the love triangle is a crying shame.
I was so upset when people only think of Peeta/Katniss or Gale/Katniss when I was busy admiring the worldbuilding and the REALNESS of the dystopia that Suzanne Collins created.
WAS ANYONE GONNA TELL ME TJERES A SPECIES OF TINY MICE THAT SLEEP INSIDE OF TULIPS OR WAS I SUPPOSED TO FIND THAT OUT FOR MYSELF
OHHH MY GOD??????????? ??/)ghhhe?.!)bc???
Iām posting this multiple times today so everyone sees it, you should too.
So, our āLungā is on fire.
It is already threatened by huge deforestation, to the point it lost 20% of its width in less than 30 years.
Itās been burning for around two weeks and almost no word has been uttered about it. I, sincerely, have come to find out about it just now. Iām shooketh ā¢ļø because weāre really burning away this planet.
The Amazon Rainforest holds 20% of global waters, itās an area of incredible value in terms of biodiversity and, nevermind, itās a crucial climate regulator. Spread awareness, demand help.
Awesome š

if it ends up being biden v trump we gotta start burnin shit down
No. We donāt.Ā
What we have to do is fucking GROW UP.Ā
Thereās not one single thing in the world (outside of the choice of whatās for dinner) that gives āusā 100% of what we want 100% of the time. This is especially true for politics.Ā
Do you know what Biden is?Ā
An acceptable (note: not perfect. not necessarily desirable.) compromise candidate who can pull the largest number of people behind him.Ā
Do you know what Biden is? A candidate who can carry the Midwest and Rust Belt states, the flyover states that went to Trump and guaranteed his victory.Ā
Heās a candidate with experience. Heās a candidate who has been in the trenches for decades, has seen social challenges and changes, who has been wrong in the past (but right for the time he was in, wrong when viewed with todayās lens) and has apologized for the āmistakesā he has made.Ā
Heās lost his son and grieved deeply.Ā
Would I like to see other candidates? sure. I particularly like Mayor Pete Buttigieg. But when the time comes to enter the voting booth? Vote for the party (thatād be Democrat) if you canāt vote for the candidates, because itās better to have Biden than Trump.Ā
If itās Joe Biden, I will vote for him. Do I want him to be the candidate? No! Is he better than Trump? Yes!
If itās Pete Buttigieg, I will vote for him. Do I want him to be the candidate? No! Is he better than Trump? Yes!
If itās Beto Freaking OāRourke, I will vote for him. Do I want him to be the candidate? No! Is he better than Trump? Yes!
Iām gonna level with you, I have qualms about EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT IN THE RACE. Iām leaning toward Elizabeth Warren. But no matter who ends up getting the nomination, they are going to be better than Trump.Ā Trump is abusing the hell out of executive privilege. Heās gotten to appoint a fuckton of judges. Heās taking unilateral action to restrict civil rights, particularly the rights of trans people. There are legitimate concerns that Trump will try to resist stepping aside if he loses the 2020 election! At this point, the name of the game is containing the fucking damage.
See your vote as voting AGAINST trump. Not for someone else.
If you must start burning shit down, wait until after weāve voted Trump out of office and we have a president whose first response wonāt be to attempt to put tariffs on fire.
Can we talk about this?!
HEY remember in WWII when Jewish people were fleeing Germany and the USA put a quota on how many Jewish immigrants they would accept because they were worried there were too many Jewish people coming over to the USA???
Reminder that the USA has always been fucking garbage to immigrants and basic humanity
