I think this is super important to remember.

No kill shelters result in animals dumped on the highway and tossed in the river because the rescues wont take them. That’s the part they never tell you.

Meanwhile the spca will take every animal, and if they have to euthanize them at least it will be done kindly and not via neglect or cruelty.

Nobody ever talk to me about the catholics going off with stained glass again because not one window of jesus has ANYTHING on the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque

Click through this link i’m losing my mind its gorgeous

i absolutely love seeing people’s reactions to the pink mosque 😂

the style is called “orsi” and is unique to iran

and stained glass traces its roots to south west and west asia, developed in ancient times and well before the europeans and the roman empire saw it and said “hey i like that, i’ll be leaving with it”

royalhandmaidens

and while we’re talking about mosques in iran, may i present persian mirror work?

yes, these are real places! it’s a different mosque in the same city as the first picture (the shah cheragh mosque in shiraz)

every time someone tries to talk to me about western churches and architecture and their superiority to that of “third world countries” i have to laugh a little at the ignorance, especially when our mosques look like this

who wrote this entire killugon love poem in arabic I’m going to pass out

werecat

“If only I was able to tell you that I am afraid for you afraid of the possibility that you will become touched by sadness and by failure and that I derive strength from you and it pains me if you become (if you are someday to become) weaker, I am afraid for you that you could be affected by the sorrows of the world and by its little tragedies, I am afraid for your heart (that it could break) and afraid that it may feel distress and my heart my love won’t be enough to make you well again, I possess no ability except to love you.”

jokes aside i think it’s amazing and heartwarming to see like 4chan incel bros perform the miracle of crawling out of that hole and becoming real human beings and chronicling their journey to realizing that they can be well adjusted happy normal dudes

...this guy, calling his uncle a fag, and using autistic as an insult? He's the inspiration?

octopuscato

Okay, question for you: if he’d stayed a socially isolated depressed incel, would he have learnt that those aren’t okay to say, you think? Or do you reckon now that he’s going out in the world, happier and meeting people, he might learn? Step by step, as people tend to do, instead of doing a 180° and immediately knowing everything? As a queer autistic woman, I am here for shrimp guy. He’s not perfect, he’s got a lot to learn, but he’s not stagnant anymore, and that’s a first step.

hey quick question why are all adult cartoons like that

ulibeanzz

like why is it that adult cartoons could build upon this beautiful format for storytelling used in children’s cartoons to deliver more complex, powerful narratives and include themes with more depth and comedy that adults can relate to, but instead it means “hey here’s an array of every nasty vile bigoted thing u can think of drawn in the most tedious ugly obnoxious art style” like why did we go so wrong..

muppethole-deactivated20240312

i wrote a whole-ass thesis on this and basically much of american adult animation requires an “ironic distance” in the form of a hideous art style in order to approach an audience for whom cartoons and animation in general have been culturally relegated to surrogate babysitting and consequently looked down on as a lesser or at least less “mature” form. it also has a lot to do with the history of adult swim and the on-a-budget animation of its early programming setting a standard for what for-adult animation “should” look like.

the interesting part is that anime is literally the cure, or at least a cure, and producers know this. companies like netflix and amazon have been funding and producing anime and anime-inspired cartoons with american audiences and distribution in mind because they believe anime has a different and much more easily conquered cultural context, and that it might pave an inroad to a largely untapped market.

I’ll be 30 this year. Here’s some advice I wish I knew for my 20s:

- Don’t shake hands with men. I was a janitor and I never had to refill the soap box in the mens bathroom. Like 60% of them just walk right out without even looking at the sink. It’s gross.

That’s it. Good luck.

My mom got tired of me making fun of her “Live Laugh Love” sign and modified it.

thinking about when i was small, how my mom told me that pipe cleaners were just a tool until people started idly shaping things with them and it grew so popular that they were marketed as crafting materials. and that story about how the original frisbees were disposable pie plates that students flattened to throw. and how when i was a child i had a wooden mancala set with shiny, colorful stones, but on invention it was played with rocks and grooves dug into the dirt. and middle school, paper football and tic-tac-toe and mash and mad libs, games that just need pen and paper. and before that, games of pretend with pirates and princes and masked marauders. how at slumber parties after lights out, we used to whisper storytelling games, i say one sentence and you say the next. and shadow puppets. and the way all the kids in the neighborhood used to divide into teams and throw fallen pine cones at one another. and the floor is lava game, and the quiet game, and the games i play with my coworkers that are just words and retention. and "put a finger down" on the high school bus. and little girls clapping together, and how the first jump-rope was undoubtedly just a length of rope who knows how long ago, and how natural it is to play, how we seek play at every age and with any resources we have and with whatever time we can squeeze it into in a day. i'm not an anthropologist or a psychologist but i think after food and shelter and water and air what comes next is games and stories and laughter. i think that there is nothing -- not sex or fighting or forming unlikely bonds with animals -- there is nothing more human than to play.
