we must love one another more than they hate us.

I see no way else to survive this. If we do not love one another more than we hate them, what they’ve done and are continuing to do to us, they will outlive us. We must outlive our enemies. We outlive them by actively loving one another more than they could ever actively hate + seek to destroy us. We must love one another more than they hate us.

[thewarmvoid]

solidarity is not transaction, it is a vow & this is what I mean by “loving” one another. not a romantic, sexual or even familial love. it is a love defined by a vow to fight for freedom, an understanding that our freedom depends on one anothers. my freedom depends on yours and yours depends on mine.

coworker: it's good to see that centrifuge getting some use; most people don't like it because it's so sensitive me: *has been devising nobel prize-worthy balance configurations for every single load* haha yeah i guess i've just been lucky with it so far :)

[motherfucker-somewhat-limited]

the feelings i'm experiencing about this are akin to when a pet comes up to greet you and its owner is like "omg i never see them go up to strangers like that they're usually so shy"

[motherfucker-somewhat-limited]

developing a horse girl-like bond with the centrifuge

[motherfucker-somewhat-limited]

centrifuge: *shudders or makes noise* me: *patting its flank* shhhh... it's okay, girl...

[mcgravin]

I'm fairly certain the answer will be "because they don't want to spend money", but is there a reason your workplace doesn't just get a new centrifuge, maybe one with auto-balancing?

[motherfucker-somewhat-limited]

because the centrifuge works fine if you're pure of heart

I think the reason I still enjoy tumblr is that even though this all still pisses me off, I know that anything that makes me mad on here is 100% earnest. It's not ragebait or engagement farming, y'all are actually just that stupid sometimes

Piece of Asian media: *has a title that's obviously not in English*

Fan Translators: hmm taking into account the intention of the original and the rules of both languages, plus the tone of the story, the best title would probably be something like Adherent of the Blade of Duality, but probably an official translation would want to shorten it to Blade of Duality, or perhaps Double-Edged Sword to borrow a popular turn of phrase that also fits thematically--

Official English Translators: Master of Double-Penetration

why he standing like this...

[duckbunny]

remember when websites were written on purpose, and not generated by autocomplete in the instant you run the web search? anyway, unrelated, this webpage purporting to relay expert knowledge on which plants are safe for my snake's tank just told me I would know if he was biting them and getting irritated because he would start pawing at his mouth.

[tarragonthedragon]

i mean, that sure would be a sign something was wrong

Hey do you know alot about internal organs. Cause if so then i have a pretty specific question.

Are... are your organs covered in blood??? Since blood tends to flow thru the blood vessels, and if your body is healthy and all your blood vessels are imtact then your organs shouldn't be covered in blood, right? But just saying that feels wrong.

No, unless you are actively experiencing internal bleeding then your organs are not covered in blood. They are however wet, but it's cerebrospinal fluid and mucus that keeps them that way.

[hjartasalt]

Trust me you do not want them to be in any other condition. If they were covered in blood then there would be no way for your body to effectively circulate that blood, leading you to bleed out. As for them being wet, I personally would not want to experience dry friction on my organs so I am more than okay with that

[hjartasalt]

Also just to clear up any further confusion, cerebrospinal fluid (as the name implies) is contained to just your brain and spinal cord. The rest are protected by mucous

[hjartasalt]

Small correction to my original answer: your organs are not covered in blood unless you are bleeding internally or happen to be a bug

OP: This is the first time I've seen the Yellow River's sediment discharge with my own eyes.

[jingyuanyuan]

There's a Chinese meme that the Yellow River doesn't need rituals to present sacrifices because if it's hungry it'll come onto the shore and eat the sacrifices itself.

[asmuchasidliketo]

#some netizens also say chinese people like unification because only a powerful unified dynasty can survive the yellow river and sometimes #also the chang jiang when they decide to flood and change directions and kill and displace millions #also only large dynasties have the resources to do hydroengineering to try and control the yellow river #yellow river be like: if you don't hydroengineer you die #but if you do you might also die heehee #“we call these our mother rivers not because they are gentle but because we are too scared” tags on above post

oh my god??

[cryoverkiltmilk]

People talk about how the Great Lakes are deadly because they are uncaring, but the Yellow River is literally out to get everyone.

[brinconvenient]

The Great Lakes are uncaring, don't care whether you live or die, ambivalent, pay no attention to you.

The Yellow River cares. Deeply. About you, specifically. And your death. And being the cause of it. It notices you and your intentions. You've been warned. Exercise your hubris accordingly.

sucks that whenever i want to look up a passage from the bible i have to go to some christian website i don’t want to sign up for your prayer calendar i’m doing this to have more interesting allusions in my yaoi

[skipppppy]

The “Mr Mime is Ash’s dad” theory mildly irks me NOT because I don’t like it or whatever but bc the canon reason Mimey is there is just SO MUCH FUNNER. For plot related reasons Ash dresses up as a Mr Mime in a circus just outside Pallet town but gets kidnapped by Team Rocket. Brock and Misty are like “oh they’ll let him go once they realise he’s not a Pokemon, we should tell Delia that he’s gonna show up at her house in a Mr Mime costume so she isn’t freaked out” but then an ACTUAL Mr Mime shows up at her house before he does and because Delia is as faceblind as her son she mistakes it for him. And this Mr Mime is like “oh I like it here” and starts helping out around the house doing chores in exchange for food. And then when Ash DOES get home he’s like “mom why is there a Mr Mime here” and she goes “oops! Well he helps more around the house than you so I’m keeping him” and does. Mimey is not Ash’s dad. Mimey is his step-brother and canonically the favourite child

Au where hua cheng was searching for xie lian more actively so he set a bounty on him and had "have you seen this man" posters with a drawing of xie lian plastered all over the place

Xie Lian finds said poster and goes "when did I offend the ghost king so much he's offering this much money to find me!?"

[allpiesforourown]

Poster: wanted alive and unharmed

Xie lian: he wants to kill me himself...

[allpiesforourown]

Shi Qingxuan: this portrait doesnt look much like how you usually dress though

Xie Lian: well it is from when i was 17

Shi Qingxuan: you pissed off the ghost king so badly he was hunting you down at 17????

[sunderwight]

#not going to disuade mu qing and feng xin from thinking hua cheng is gonna kill xie lian either#when xie lian shows up in the heavens i wonder if any heavenly officials considering turning him in to hua cheng for the reward (@thesadisticsiren)

Xie Lian's in so much debt from his third ascension, I think maybe the top tier comedy option is he turns himself in for the reward.

Every once in a while, I wish the friendship meter from the Sims was real so that way when people tell me "I used Chat-GPT" they can visually see just how much respect I just lost for them in that moment.

[berkelbites]

One time an acquaintance told me she entered Snape's star chart into chatgpt and I could physically feel that meter dropping three separate times over the course of her sentence
