TJ MIKELOGAN's HALLOWEEN HORROR 2025 EVENT DAY 4: POC in horror — Tara Thornton & Lafayette Reynolds, True Blood (2008-2014)

There's some darkness in this family, Tara. My mama, your mama. But they ain't strong enough to beat it. We are. We've been fսcking fighting tooth and nail to survive this bullshit our whole life, and I ain't letting you give up now.

Lady in drive through had a bearded dragon sitting on her boobs and she held it up and let me pet it. killing myself canceled

[halondrus]

art is not my strong suit but this is my best recreation of what i saw when i opened the window. i have to emphasize that she was supermodel levels of gorgeous

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating

[sleepymccoy]

@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally

Source (non Aboriginal)

And a quote I picked out from a longer interview with an Aboriginal local elder about the area where he touched on the history

Source (the rest of the interview is really interesting and all transcribed, have a look if you're curious)

This is part of my Ancient Civilizations class that I teach, which does a whole week about Australia and the Torres Strait Islands because I was sick of never seeing them represented in USAmerican history contexts. With the help of @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist I've learned so many incredible things about Australia's past and it's been incredibly rewarding to share them with students.

[aggressivelybicaptainamerica]

My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.

The story? 6 sisters running from something that took their 7th sister.

observations from urgent care

- People who exercise a lot get knee injuries from overdoing it

- People who only exercise occasionally get knee injuries from being unprepared for the exertion

- People who don’t exercise get knee injuries from being out of shape

- Maybe knees just suck

I seem to have accidentally bought a sword.

[knitmeapony]

What I read: Wooden and Brass Decorative sword, 8 inches.

What it was:

Item: Spanish Style Brass Stainless & Wood Decorative Sword Serrated Blade 38 in.

Price: $14.99

Shipping: $13.58+ $3.00 Handling.

[knitmeapony]

I saw the picture. I did. I thought the blade was well-polished wood!

The box that FedEx delivered me was four feet long. I thought it was my wallpaper at first.

[knitmeapony]

.... this is not an 8 inch wooden sword.

[twistwitch]

I’m pretty sure this means you’re the chosen one.

[knitmeapony]

Huh. I wanna know what kind of portal adventure you get when you pull a sword out of a thrift store.

Liberating a besieged kingdom (a beloved chain restaurant) from the scourge of an evil usurper (private equity firm).

[knitmeapony]

Shit, if I can fight private equity, I'm bringing Joann's back.

[pjharvey]

i'm still a leftist but in my experience women are viewed as expendable in leftist spaces, spoken over, treated as stupid, on a level that is astounding. you can get away with an enormous level of vitriolic hatred for women if you couch it in the right terms

[pjharvey]

yeah they think it's bourgeois and childish and that you are bourgeois and childish if you are a feminist. sometimes the ones that want to act like Allies to Women will act like it's cute (read: naïve) that you're a feminist and expect you to be flattered by that. otherwise you're stuck up and obnoxious for acknowledging rape culture, caring about your own safety, and not believing in bullshit like "rich women don't experience misogyny"

to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!

i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies

[o0fyuu0o]

Saw these easy to read instructions on Twitter. Stay safe 💚

[sun-cheyne]

Also just a handy, DIY air filter in general, if a bit bulky. For a less bulky and cheaper (but also less effective) solution, you can simply tape one filter to the fan, cut a shroud if you'd like.

[snowriddenwolf]

just FYI, this is quite literally what the climate scientists at my work who specialized in wildfire smoke impacts recommend. it works great, it's cheap to make, and it will make a noticeable impact on your air quality.

[mechanicalriddle]

i have asthma & keep one of these running in my room perpetually. after I set it up the difference in my sleep quality was pretty much night and day. Dont waste your time on proprietary air filters; SIMPLY bust out the duct tape

Salamanca CSD Launches Innovative Realbotix Educational Robot Pilot Program

Preparing Students for Tomorrow While Keeping Learning at the Center Salamanca City Central School...

Oh. Hmm. This can't go poorly.

Tech bros think teachers were getting too much respect and money and needed to replace them with tech?

[nudityandnerdery]

Oh oh oh. Remember that thing we've seen with social media, where tech sometimes thrives on sexual content first and then will want to kick all that behind it to present a clean and pure image when it can make them money?

Guess what happened this time?

Realbotix is transferring its consumer robot arm to NASDAQ-listed Onconetix, but the RealDoll sex robot brand stays with parent company Real

i honestly don't really understand why "some people prefer watching gameplay online rather than playing games themselves" is treated as such a taboo when being a spectator is considered a pretty mundane way to engage with most sports, game shows, reality tv or even just like. chess.
