Ok I know the rest of that line is very pessimistic, but this part is very sweet. Sucks that he’s cut off from heaven and all though.

My mom at the end of the episode: “Look at all those rocks. Such great rocks.”

i think if you showed minecraft or fortnite to a little medieval peasant boy he would probably start writing parodies of church hymns. it’s human nature

this has rendered me speechless

Say hello to Ruby!! She's not new I just don't get a lot of photos of her. She's Bug's half sister and the friendliest of the NC 4 I brought home in late 2024 as babies. She's 2 years old and just laid her first eggs this year. She's the only non-yearling that didn't brood. There's always next year!

July Color Palette

@color-palettes monthly challenges have been so much fun.

original post for this month's palette

(image description: digital painting in shades of blue and green with bright yellow. It depicts a humanoid character with big feathered wings, a matching tail, and feathers all over their body. They are dancing on a large tree branch with a blue rug draped over the bark like a personal stage. Most of their feathers are blue with darker tips and some dark patches on the wings, but they also have a whole patch of yellow feathers on their chest and shoulders. Their head feathers are mostly green with a blue crest at the top and yellow feathers along the jaw. They are wearing gold jewelry and an embroidered green waist cloth. On their back, there is a tall crest of soft yellow feathers, and there are two long pennant feathers coming out of their tail which are also yellow with dark tips. end description)

What Happens When Young People Actually Read “Disturbing” Books

Something is missing from the debate over educationally suitable literature

Every year Dracula daily revamps interest in the novel and every year I have to be reminded of the utter buffoonery and misogyny that pervades every modern adaptation that romanticizes Dracula and his predation of women in the name of being “subversive” while completely cutting out or sidelining his predation of men (namely Jonathan) because all of a sudden when he’s assaulting and robbing men of their agency it’s not sexy or sympathetic anymore and we can’t include Jonathan (one of the most interesting and unique and ACTUALLY subversive male characters in gothic literature) because he’s not “manly” enough

Haven’t posted about plastic in a minute. Rest assured, I am still hard at work eating all plastic on earth

put a dish of water out on the garden last night and it was nearly empty this morning :) really glad to be hydrating the local critter population

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

added some rocks in the dish so that bees and other insect pals can safely have a sip without fear of falling in the water :)

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

friend of mine recommended a video essay that's like 5 hours long about why it's currently a whole Thing for fascists to claim they only eat meat and demonize vegetables etc etc, and it's genuinely quite well researched in many places and contains some fascinating history and has made me feel very weird about my status as an adult who enjoys drinking milk. but I've not finished it and I genuinely don't know if I will because at one point the ol' "you can't say you care about animals and also eat animals" chestnut got dropped by the white vegan essayist and it put such a bad taste in my mouth that I had to leave instantly

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

like idk man it just feels genuinely parodic to dedicate hours to analyzing how foodways have frequently been used as white supremacist propaganda and then casually toss out an argument that pretty invariably demonizes indigenous hunting practices with 0 regard for traditional knowledge and land stewardship guiding those practices

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

okay on the suggestion of some folks in the replies I've gone back to finish the video. I don't object to any of the descriptions of animals being mistreated in many current methods of meat production! factory farming is very bad! people should be aware of how their food is produced, and as a meat eater I very much want the animals I eat to be treated humanely and with as much dignity as possible. however. I am also wondering why I was immediately subjected to a direct comparison between animals being killed for food and human women being sexually assaulted.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

damn okay went back to the video and they said that people pointing out that vegan arguments frequently veer into racism are the real racists because some Indigenous people are vegans... they fucking got me

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

necessary disclaimer I guess that 1.) I don't have anything against the practice of veganism and 2.) I don't have anything against these youtubers who I know nothing about save for this video. I think they're thoughtful and passionate and broadly have a lot of interesting things to say but maybe missed the mark with some parts of this essay.

I did watch through the specific refutation that I was advised to check out and I can't say that it really did anything to dispell my initial gripes with the argument that one cannot both care about and eat animals, and the entire section debunking myths about veganism did in fact come across as overly defensive and needlessly adding on to the runtime of a video that's already exceedingly long.

as mentioned in another reblog, I also find the defense of PETA and the claim that its bad reputation comes entirely from shady corporate lobbyists as opposed to their history of racist, misogynistic, and ableist as campaigns.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

girl help they're in the replies calling noticing racism "getting offended on someone else's behalf"

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

how are these people always like a minute away from equating eating meat with racism

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

oh yep there it is. and that's the block, folks!

Domestic pig (Sus domesticus), more specifically of the Hungarian Mangalica breed, also spelled as Mangalitsa or Mangalitza. Mangalica pigs are the only surviving breed of pig with long coats of hair and, besides blond ones like the stunning individuals above, they also come in “swallow-bellied” (darker hair on the upper portion of their bodies, lighter hair on the lower portion, not unlike a Doberman or Rottweiler) and red varieties!

[silver-salt-knife]

I want to talk about Castiel and numbers.

[silver-salt-knife]

One of the many reasons I think Castiel likes sport is because he can make charts and statistics and go on math rants.

[silver-salt-knife]

Also poetry is math.

I’m on Supernatural 5x1 “Sympathy for the Devil.” I HATE Becky.

Here’s what my sister said: “Thus sayeth the Lord, ‘This sucks ass’”

I remembered in 4x22 when Dean made that angel figurine fall, mirroring Cas’s trajectory. I forgot how quickly he turned back to help Dean. And then Dean called him his friend!!!!

There really is always sexual imagery surrounding possession, angelic and demonic. When Dean learns he is the Michael sword, the first thing he says is that he doesn’t want to be an angelic condom.

Meg?!?! Back so soon?

Cas is back!!!!!!!! And knows that god brought him back!!!

It’s so weird seeing Chuck.

endverse cas is the kinda guy who doesn’t have to use his hands when he moves from sitting on the floor to standing
