there's nothing funnier to me than someone getting mad at someone else for choosing to critically examine media or even look at it from a different lens. YouTuber Jack Saint made a video in which he analyzes the movie Sky High and views it through the lens of it being a bioessentialist movie advocating for a kind of liberal fascism. his argument, when put forward, makes a lot of sense given the content of the story.
People will see something like this and go "oh no the sjws are cancelling a thing I like" when that just so isn't the case. It's FUN to watch movies and think about them critically and from different perspectives. being critical of and analyzing media is enjoyable and a great thought experiment, but some people just seem incapable of understanding the concept of that being like, an intellectual exercise, as opposed to an outright condemnation of the media itself.

I think I already reblogged this but im gonna do it again because this is a good reminder on how toxic gatekeeping it.
Iām reblogging this for the amount of thought that was put into figuring out the necessary configuration for a mertaur wheelchair.
MMMMM, the LAYERS to this.Ā
Sheās technically a monster too. She might not look it at first glance and seems mostly human, but it isnāt deniable even despite her looks compared to the other monsters.Ā
But she realizes that she is still not like the rest of the monsters either and may not have entirely the same experiences as them, which is why she feels that she might not belong to or deserve to go to the support group. By sometimes passing as human, she feels she isnāt worthy of the space.Ā
The sad reality though is even though sheās mostly human in appearance, that tail she has undeniably would still cause her some struggle. Humans are still gonna look at that tail and think sheās a freak. There are probably still accommodations she needs because of the tail that she may still struggle to have access to. Even if it is just the tail, that tail is still enough to other her from humans and cause her problems and discrimination.Ā
She should get to belong in that support group even if she gets told sheās not monsterĀ āenoughā. She still shares some of the same struggles as them that are caused by being a monster, and needs support.Ā
This is an excellent demonstration of the flaws in the concept of passing privilege. Bravo to the artist.Ā
NOW I will reblog this.
remember, this is for a DOOR lock.
remember that when picking a DOOR lock, you have to apply a little bit of pressure to your tension wrench (the thing that you use to turn the knob). too little or too much and you wont be able to pick the door open. you can use anything for the tension wrench. a bobby pin. bits of wire. a paper clip. etc.
its best to be completely silent when youre picking locks bc theres this smallĀ āclickā when youre picking that you might miss if youre using headphones or listening to music.
.
if youre picking one of these
you jam something thin and long above one of the rotation dials and you push up on the shackle.
. if its one of these
you get yourself some shims. (or make one. you can make shims out of fucking soda cans), you wiggle them in the tiny space between the shackle and the body of the lock, and you pop these suckers open.
. for a chain deadbolt,
you get something flexible but sturdy and you just push this fucker down
. for one of these rotating combination locks
you can also shim this motherfucker open. jam your shims between the shackle and the body and pry it unlocked. if, for some reason, you dont wanna shim it open, maybe you dont have a shim or you just like a challenge, this bitch can be decoded ridiculously easy. heres what you do:
spin this bitch to the right about two or three times toĀ āresetā it. then you pull up on the shackle a bit, and turn it right slowly until you hear a click. your number is two spaces further. then you turn left 360 degrees until you land on the right number again, and start turning this motherfucker left until it stops. when it stops, turn right. if its loose, its the wrong number, keep going left. if its not loose, you have the right number, and you turn right all the way until this bitch pops
.
now you know how to pick several common locks!!!!! congratulations!!!!
donāt mind me im just reblogging
Yall need to look up the Lock Picking Lawyer on YouTube too, heās amazing.
His videos are always so blazĆ©, like āhereās yet another fucking disappointing lock to pickā and heās so good.

life advice:
never say anything to a penguin that the penguin has not already said to you
this reads like a shitpost but iām actually 100% serious. i was walking along the side of the harbour this evening, just after all the penguins had come in from the ocean to nest. there was one penguin right by the footpath, and when it saw me it kept saying āhƶƶā. so i said āhƶƶā right back. it seemed to like that, and we had a lovely conversation where we just kept saying āhƶƶā to each other. i crouched down about two metres away from it, and we kept talking, and it actually moved towards me a little bit, seeming to prefer my company to the heartless embrace of the sea. but then i made the mistake of trying to change things up. i said āhwehā, which was something that a previous penguin said to me, and this penguin hated it, and fucked right off. never said another word to me. i felt so rude.
I keep imagining this from the penguinās point of view:
āGustav, my friend, why so glum?ā
The penguin in question looked up from his half-eaten sprat, shaking his head in disgust.
āNot glum, Sebastian. Affronted, outraged - I had the most perturbing encounter with one of the Beakless Ones.ā
Sebastian nodded solemnly. āYes, they are often perturbing. What happened, my friend?ā
Gustav sighed heavily, looking up to the sky and holding his flippers wide, as if to ask the gods āwhy?ā, before mournfully retelling his experience, āI was on the beach where the Beakless sometimes wander, contemplating names for this yearās chicks, when one of them approached. It seemed harmless enough to greet - theyāre cute, in a strange, bald and flat-faced way, are they not?ā
āOh Gustav, you kind-hearted fool.ā
āSuch a fool, I am!ā Gustavās moans had gathered a small crowd already - the only thing penguins love more than a bellyful of fish, is a story. A good storyteller was always guaranteed a warm spot to huddle in the winter, surrounded by bored friends longing for entertainment.
āWhat did it do, Gustav? Did it kick you?ā
āNo! When it got close, I called out to it, āhello, friend!ā. It stopped and returned the greeting - awkwardly, but it was rather sweet, like a chick learning itās first chirps. āHollow fren,ā it said back to me. I was charmed, but not wanting it to learn poor pronunciation, I repeated the greeting, and so did it! Getting clearer each time, till it could almost pass for a true penguin itself.ā
āGustav is a wonderful teacher,ā Adelina, his mate, stated with a proud nod of her lovely blue head. āYou remember how well our chicks could enunciate, before they even caught their first fish.ā
āBut what of it, Gustav? What happened to sour this experience so?ā
āWe went back and forth, till I was satisfied. It lowered itself near the ground, and I moved closer, carefully, not wanting to alarm it. I was just about to tell it how pleased I was, that it learning so quickly, when all of a sudden, it looked me right in the eye and said āFuck off, freak.āā
There were avian gasps all around.
āOh no!ā
āHow rude!ā
āI was so appalled, I could not bring myself to even chide it.ā Gustav bowed his head in shame. āI turned and left without another word.ā
āIt said that to you? Oh dear.ā Sebastian tilted his head in a piercing glare towards one of their fellows, focusing on the only one who was slapping his sides and chortling. āBjƶrn, you scoundrel! What have I told you about yelling obscenities at the Beakless?ā
Bjƶrn cackled and bobbed his head in defiance. āHow was its enunciation, Gustav? You soft-hearted buffoon!ā
now thatās a fine addition to my post
I just read fan fiction about penguins talking to people, and discussing it with penguinsā¦.
I have never felt so happy, and so sad that I will never get to talk to penguins like this in my life.

this is oddly close to real āardā is a real suffix in the english language just like ālyā or āifyā, it just isnt common enough for us to notice its usage. āardā means ātoo muchā or ātoo easilyā so āmustardā is something that is ātoo pungentā, just as āwizardā is someone who is too wise, ācowardā is someone too easily cowed, and ādrunkardā is someone too often drunk
this implies that ābastardā is someone who is too ābastā and this needs experimentation and research
Are you fucking serious omg
This is pretty much correct. According to the OED bastard is from Old French and the bast- part means āpack saddleā which was used as a bed by mule drivers, giving the phrase fils de bast, a child conceived on the pack saddle instead of the marriage bed. In English it becomes bastard, the -ard being a pejorative. It is the same one as wizard and coward and drunkard.

Brilliant
Spot on. Like Coretta Scott King said,Ā I must remind you that starving a child is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence.

This sounds like itās being sung by a passive-aggressive 1920s radio host wearing a very dapper suit and threatening me with a cartoonishly small pistol, bearing a large grin on his face that indicates that he will not hesitate to put a hole in my forehead, not for a second
This is by Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester. Their original genre was 1920s-1930s-style German cabaret/popular songs in the style of the Comedian-Harmonists; they also do covers of newer songs sometimes.

Itās true!

Bass Reeves was so dedicated to the law, he even arrested his own son Bennie for the murder of his wife. Bennie was sentenced to life in prison. With over 3000 arrests, 14 kills, went his entire 32 year career in law enforcement without being shot once.
He was assigned to bring in the notorious female outlaw Belle Starr. Once she got wind who was after her she turned herself into the federal court.
Reeves was one of a few Marshalls who would venture into Indian territory *oklahoma*. After the age of 67 he retired in 1907. He enjoyed his short lived retirement as a police officer in Muskogee Oklahoma, his assigned beat had 0 crime reported until he died at the age of 71 of Brightās disease.
He was one of the true gun slingers of the west.
I would expect nothing less from a man with such a magnificent mustache
I love the story of Bass Reeves!
One of his famous tactics was, if he was captured or in danger by a criminal he was hunting down, he would ask them to read a letter from his wife before they killed him. He used their distraction to free himself and get the upper hand.
He was also a freed slave. George Reeves, his owner and reason for his surname, took Bass with him to fight in the Civil War. However, George became violently angry after Bass beat him at a card game, and Bass was forced to fight him (or kill, on some accounts) in self defense.
After running away and entering Native American territory, Bass learned how to speak the languages of the āFive Civilized Tribesā (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muskogee, Seminole). This part of his life is where he mastered marksmanship. He got married and had a family after the Emancipation Proclamation was declared, and then later became a Marshal, going on the adventures listed above (and many more⦠Another famous criminal that Bass captured was Bob Dozier.)
He was the very first black US Marshal. May we never forget him, as history would suffer to lose such an outstanding figure.
Always, always, always reblog Bass Reeves.
Sometimes my brain gets stuck on a particular track, and today that track is apparently āpopular idioms that contain the word āpennyā or āpenniesā, except with that word swapped for āpenisāā. So far itās come up with:
A penis for your thoughts
In for a penis, in for a pound
A penis saved is a penis earned
To cost a pretty penis
Penis wise and pound foolish
Penis on the dollar
Waiting for the penis to drop
Penis dreadful
See a penis pick it up, all day long youāll have good luck
worth every penis

not have two penises to rub together

I donāt think itās a coincidence that the nu-atheist movement slowly turned in to the incel-blackpill-4chan fascism weāre dealing with now. A lack of religious belief doesnāt in any way make someone a bad person and we should be criticizing organized religion and all the harm itās done. But the cynical dudebro atheist culture had a distinct ideology - it wasnāt about science so much as using the concept of science as validation for a bitter, joyless view of the world.
I remember when people in that scene loved to talk about how no oneās pets actually loved them, and people who deluded themselves into thinking their dog wasnāt just using them for food were idiots. Thatās just science, are you triggered snowflake? But in reality, actual science has shown that your dog does have a positive emotional connection to you, one that goes beyond seeing you as a provider of necesities. So why would these self-proclaimed logical, rational men ignore the actual science in this case? Because they have been raised in a culture that rewards cruelty and dominance. Genuine scientific thinking involves abandoning your preconceived notions and coming at a subject with an open mind, but they never did that. They just looked for validation for what they already believed - everyone is inherently cruel and selfish, nothing has any meaning, we come into a heartless world for no reason, fuck kill and die and nothing matters.
This deliberate rejection and mockery of any kind of sentimentality, spirituality or connection with the land and other living beings is unhealthy. Itās settler-colonial manhood taken to itās logical end point, an angry refusal to genuinely feel anything, trust anyone or make yourself vulnerable in any way. Itās the mentality that human beings are all enemies who gain from each otherās suffering. It isnāt actually based in logic or reason, just a long oppressive ideological history, and it really isnāt surprising that it became violent as fast as it did.
i love how this fairly innocuous post made so many dweebs so violently angry lol. like, reacting with extreme anger and misogyny to someone criticizing nu-atheism mayhaps⦠proves my point
