Regarding tumblr-utils: how did you handle the api form?

i filled in the tumblr-utils github page url for most of the mandatory fields and my account email for the mail one, but ive never once actually been mailed about this and i doubt the other fields actually matter for this particular use of the api either so just fill in whatever

reply roundup!

@solar-cr0ss has added an image description to [soup], and @scarlet-bee has added an image description to [vameltimes]! thank you both!

also the [collector club] carries on (US residents can sign up through [patreon]), and the youtube captions I spent all of february on are now on the [brbavrai] video :)

on [squish] @nexus-nebulae left some lovely tags that for sure make me feel understood, thanks y'all! I'm glad you're also headed in the right direction for you.

@icannotgetoverbirds asked: oh my GOD this blog is EXCELLENT. hell yes. also by any pronouns do you mean any as in he she or they are all equally fine or does that include neopronouns and does it include objectself pronouns?

so like most people have pronouns that "fit" right, and I've just never found any that are quite right for me. so I might as well open it up to a free-for-all, whatever you feel like! while I don't feel like I fully Get neopronouns and stuff, I have zero objections to them being used for me. (or, obviously, for people who personally identify with them!) (also thank you lol)

on [string cheese] @ceylonsilvergirl said: even Kirby strings his cheese. dude could just vacuum it up, And he still strings it

well yeah dude if you don't string it it's not string cheese. it's just cheese.

on [comfytown] @kingdedede8 said: can i come

hell yeah dude anyone can be a resident of comfytown, you just gotta get so comfy cozy with your blankets and suchlike.

on [frog] @demifiendcruithne said: this. is the war cry. of a very. angry. gorb.

yes that is exactly the video I was thinking of! there are others available these days ofc but my wife always puts that particular one on when I'm upset cuz it cheers me up -u-

on [frog] @joekingv1 said: *gently pets the tiny frog while wondering if they both have read Cat Cafe Comics*

they have not, but the art style looks pretty cute!

on [supernatural] @joekingv1 said: *hands baby a note about Osaka officially becoming a teacher in Yotsuba*

aww, that's neat! I've only read a little bit of both azumanga daioh and yotsuba, but I bet that made a lot of people happy :)

on [rare disease day 2024] @3am-cheerios said: i didnt know theres an awareness day. and that its tomorrow! also jfc that sounds exactly like what my sister is going thru right now, her primary doctor literally LAUGHED at her last time over her concerns

oh man that really sucks :( I hope she has better luck in future, I've often done well with like, medical residents as primary care? because I know what I'm talking about by this point and they're new enough to want to defer to someone else anyway. that does also mean I need a new pcp every couple years tho since they finish their programs and move away -n-

anonymous asked: Poyo ^_^

not technically kirby related but there's a cute little slice of life series called poyo poyo kansatsu nikki that I stumbled upon browsing crunchyroll years and years ago, about a very round cat. who also says poyo. I think I've drawn him once. tbh I think of him first when I hear poyo, but I think of kirby first when I hear hi.

@goldendragonleaf asked: *gives him uncoffee*

thanks he's normal now

on [coffee] @otatma said: has anyone ever drawn Barista Kirby?

I vaguely remember a kirby drawing someone else did of him behind the counter at a coffee shop, but I thoroughly checked all my archives and didn't see it :(

@thatonepointbraincell asked: Fish 🐟

(we're gonna go to the aquarium while my wife is in town next week, they opened a new building but she wanted us to wait until she got home to go see it for the first time)

Today is probably the tenth anniversary of Gene Ray's death.

I wonder if anyone ever got around to explaining to him that if two people standing on different parts of Earth can be counted as two separate days, then every rotation of Earth experiences a day for every member of the human race. Billions of days per day. How's that for educated stupid?

Like. My guy. I like squares and cubes just fine, I'm a huge fan of tiles — but you never touched on why it has to be a cube and not, idk, a hexagon. Or a dodecahedron. You could fit the Earth in a dodecahedron just fine. What's special about the day/night line exactly? Is this actually a sun worship thing? I could get behind some sun worship actually.

Anyway my private conjecture is that he needed a pretext to heap abuse on public education, academia, and government with every breath he had. Mr. Ray was a real one for that. That guy's hatred was way more creative than his timekeeping or his rhetoric.

If you never actually saw the time cube site, today's a good day to go dig it out of archive.org or wherever they're keeping it the day you read this, scroll down a random amount and read a couple paragraphs. Absolutely don't read him for his ideas - he didn't have any new ideas that stood up to even the mildest of challenges. Read him for the quality and the quantity of his insults. (also it is accidentally the funniest word salad bullshit I ever read)

Rest in cube, Gene, you fucking racist queerphobic antisemite crank.

Why haven't tires been slashed yet? I've egg'd cars for less.

otatma

they're doing this to provoke violence from the vulnerable so they can further justify their violence against the vulnerable. fucking pathetic.

@greenekatgrey it’s like @otama says, they’re trying to provoke a reaction, and I give it maybe another day or two before they get one. What happens at that point is anyone’s guess.

you definitely need the art deco naked ladies one.

You shoulda seen the Naked Lady Laying Back To Be the Handle While Her Hands Drape Between Her Upper Thighs And Her Bent Legs Become The Top Of The Cane Shaft one

"blade of steel" is weirdly prosaic. as opposed to what‽ a blade of bread?

where the fuck are y'all finding all these hedge mazes

WE’RE NOT. That’s the problem. If we could just FIND someone’s private hedgemaze we could probably figure something out.
