We're celebrating my step-father's sister passing her final exam for nurse school (I think, something along those lines). I don't know what she likes so I made her a drawing with oil pastell of a wood louse smoking a big fat blunt.

Any other Ugly Betty heads out there? Anyone?

(Image id under the cut)

[image id: a digital portrait of the character Betty Suarez from the show Ugly Betty. It is stylized to look like a fashion magazine, and has the word “MODE” written in the background behind the figure and the text “America Ferrera as: Betty Suarez” at the bottom left of the page overlayed on top of the figure. The background is blue-grey with desaturated golden text, the figure is painted with lots of bright colors, and the text on top is white. The figure is a 20 something girl with messy brown hair, small crooked “nerdy” glasses, and braces. She is wearing an orange shirt with polka dots, a red sweater vest, and a pearl necklace with a large B charm hanging from it with three more pearls dangling off the bottom of the B.]

Charlie kirk getting shot and killed at an event where he defends guns despite the numerous gun deaths per year is actually the objectively funniest way he could have died

at least he died doing what he loved... letting people die by gun violence.

[silvermoon424]

On one hand: the increasing level of political violence in the United States is very concerning, especially considering our gun problem. I do not want to live in a culture where assassinations are frequent, and it’s legit terrifying how much of a powder keg we’re in.

On the other hand: Charlie Kirk reaped what he sowed. It’s impossible to overstate the level of harm this man did. He acted as a propaganda arm for fascists and billionaires, advocated against the rights of women and minorities (he proudly said he would force his 10yo to give birth if she were raped and impregnated), and railed against reforming the very gun culture that killed him.

So yeah. Bye, bitch.

for those who don’t remember, “mole interest” was an experiment I did 2 years ago because I wanted to test what causes tags to go trending on tumblr. My hypothesis was that all it takes is one (1) post blowing up in an established tag to make the entire tag trend.

I had randomly generated 2 words, which is where “mole interest” came from. I failed to consider that by generating a new tag, it wouldn’t have had enough posts already in it to prove what I now call “the mole interest effect”.

But now it does.

In 2023, we said “fuck it” a la mythbusters and ended up doing whatever it took to get #mole interest to trend. And it did. And it happened to be September 11th that day, and we managed to get #mole interest to trend ABOVE #9/11.

So, in the name of science, I ask you to reblog just this post. Let’s put the mole interest effect to the test.

So this is definitely a case of "we did not expect Harvard to fight back and we forgot they have billions of dollars and the best lawyers"

[catboybiologist]

This is funny, of course, but its worth noting that this is a repeating problem in these kinds of regimes.

Nazi incompetence also ate itself alive.

Under the many, many reasons that facism always fails, there's one very crucial one: when the most important qualification is blind loyalty, other standards like competence and cooperation are neglected. There's the weirdo sentiment of Facism being this like.... efficient but unethical machine, when really, its not just horrific but stupid to the core.

It always crumbles, it always eats itself alive, but with massive destruction along the way that must be mitigated and pushed back against. I'm not telling you not to fight it, I'm telling you that the fighting will work.

#and this isn't an ad hominem 'fascists are stupid' thing #a distrust of expertise and an unwillingness to be told no is central to most forms of totalitarianism #accurate risk assessment is almost impossible in an authoritarian context #because it requires that people honestly tell the big guy that he can't do something

You might be OK with leaving this in the tags, but I'm not.

We need more walkable cities. I am so tired of my transportation turning to aquatic life. It’s so inconvenient.
