“Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna)” is a puzzle platformer adventure game about discovering the origins of a world-threatening blizzard! Play as Nuna and Fox in a story drawn from the culture of the Indigenous Iñupiat people of Alaska. Brave the freezing blizzard, explore mysterious forests, and much more with the aid of the Helping Spirits! 

For Windows, Mac, Linux, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox One, iOS, and Android.

Developed by Upper One Games in collaboration with Ishmael Hope, an Iñupiaq and Tlingit storyteller. The Cook Inlet Tribal Council, a non-profit organization for Alaska’s urban areas, also partnered with the game.

[bigdaddy-whitephobia]

Hey guys! Since this game post as a lot of links in it to the indigenous people who worked on the game, i’m not sure if tumblr will let it show up in the general tags so reblogs are appreciated! :)

Its hard to find words when so much had already been said, but the murder of Sarah Everhard has hit half the population harder than the other. A serving police officer has been arrested for her murder, a person who should have been trusted to keep people safe. "It was only one officer, you can't tar the whole force the say way"

It should have been none.

The Met Police has responded to the overwhelming influx of statements from women who for decades have said they are not safe walking alone at night, by increasing street patrols. But the overwhelming response was "it was one of your own".

It should have been none.

There’s a lot of misinformation going around about the Covid-19 vaccines, so now is a good time to bring this back.

[transgenderhelp]

Quick science note: of the Covid vaccines currently approved/pending that I’ve seen, none contain live or weakened viruses. 

There’s not a whole virus in this particular vaccine; it’s just a little strip of genetic code that cues your body to make one of the identifying proteins of the COVID-19 virus. Your body uses up all these instructions, produces some marker proteins, realizes these proteins are foreign, and produces immunity against them. So whenever a virus that has this spike protein invades, your body already recognizes it and has a defense prepared.

Seeking: Other pissed off CW fandoms, past or present, that feel particularly screwed by the CW in treatment of their content. 

Rebagel, pass along, leave a note if this describes you and you, too, have the urge to want to kneecap them. There’s already some pretty successful kneecapping going on. But let’s make it wider.

(The methods are varying degrees of effort. I will not actively reply to this post for at least 2 days regardless of if it takes off or not.)

(Easiest step: just blast this and tell everyone to unfollow any official CW_Whatever account they’ve ever followed. If you don’t want to take it further, that’s fine, we’ll be gouging them at their advertisers while their value drops on more shows than this but you know. It does work.)

Would be great if we could just use the power of tumblr’s gay rage to passive aggressively spread this into infinity.

Unfollow their accounts, reblog this post, and move on if you want. Or feel free to dive into the full blown tire fire.

Reblog if you have ever read fanfiction better written than the series finale of the CW's Supernatural ❤️

Quick Reminder...

The COVID-19 virus has not changed

Your immune system has not changed

There is no vaccine

There is no cure

What’s Different?

Fewer government-directed restrictions

That’s literally it: fewer lockdowns, closures, and stay-at-home orders, often due to political pressure.

But COVID-19 is still here. It’s still contagious. People are still getting it. People are still dying from it. Just because it’s not as prominent in the news does not mean that this 2020 story arc has concluded!

Please

Wash your hands

Continue social distancing

Wear a face mask

Protect high-risk and vulnerable people

Self-isolate if sick, quarantine if exposed

Help flatten the curve and contain the outbreaks 

Source: I am an actual contact tracer and I just got home from a very long shift where we are having to reach out to more and more and more people as they are exposed to people with positive COVID-19 tests.

Please stay safe.

An activate charcoal AND grapefruit smoothie called "what will your meds do ;)"

[the-killswitch-deactivated20200]

Actually its a juice

[queerforscience]

Wait no this was a joke

[kaijuno]

you're on antidepressants and you drink this you meet the devil

[goldenjedi]

Ok I just want to say activated charcoal is really good for you. Especially if you have an upset stomach. Take it, and it'll absorb all the toxins in your stomach and make you feel better.

Natural remedies are good. They do work. And we shouldn't make fun of them.

[noping-out-deactivated20241117]

You know how they give activated charcoal to dogs and cats if they get into your meds or drink coolant or anything else toxic? That’s because it binds with meds and carries them out of your system without them interacting with your body.

If you’re on meds and drink this bullshit you’re not on your meds today, champ. You may as well have flushed them down the toilet. So kiss goodbye to your blood pressure meds/antidepressants/anything else you’re on and if you’re on the pill I hope you’re ready to be a mom.

Among its other charming traits, activated charcoal can prevent your body from digesting food and absorbing nutrients and oh yeah side effects can include “diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, and blockage of the digestive tract.” (Source)

But ya know, “really good for you.” 🙄

[genderfluidfish]

This is gonna be a very unpopular opinion but I don't care

Activated charcoal is a medication, not a food additive, and should not be taken if you're not sick. It absorbs toxins, as well as other chemicals in your stomach. And by toxins I mean actual toxic stuff when you accidentally poison yourself. Not the mysterious "toxins" you get rid of when you "detox". "Detox" is bullshit. You detox by having a working liver. If you're alive and not currently dying of liver failure, odds are you liver is working and therefore you don't need to detox and eat activated charcoal when you're not having food poisoning.

You wouldn't just make yourself an ibuprofen latte, so stop putting activated charcoal in everything.

[thechronicpainlife]

“You wouldn't just make yourself an ibuprofen latte, so stop putting activated charcoal in everything.”

Just in case someone missed it

[vforvictoriaregina]

Also incredibly important

[goosewithajob]

Also, on the off chance the activated charcoal doesn’t immediately suck everything out of your body, grapefruit is literally the (second) worst possible thing you can eat or drink when you’re on medication, as it interacts with a LOT of them, and you should always double check- https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/grapefruit-juice-and-some-drugs-dont-mix

[kittenofdoomage]

Reblogging this because grapefruit interacts with so many antidepressants!

[thecookieconundrum]

If you don’t feel well, talk to a doctor...don’t just ingest something that someone once told you is “good for you”. Yes, activated charcoal is good for you.....IN. THE. RIGHT. INSTANCES. (Like a face mask...or if a doctor prescribes it)

[sexceptionul]

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

[thedanliest]

why on earth doesn’t this have more notes

[outtelligent]

I actually had to do this once. She lived.

THE LAST PART!!!!!

[dathen]

On twitter I’m seeing dozens of threads from Black activists warning people against burnout, giving all sorts of useful tips about preventing and managing it for the sake of a long-term, sustainable effort.

On tumblr I’m seeing a hell of a lot of young white kids yelling at anyone who actually follows those steps, and acting like burnout is a moral falling rather than a well-proven psychological phenomenon.

Be careful who you get your information from. Don’t let guilt lead you to make choices that will harm both you and the movement.

[nilzhoglander-deactivated202303]

I’m going to reblog this again since I see more individuals are inquiring about burnout prevention tips in the notes and it’s why I sought out this resource. I hope it helps you!

[thecookieconundrum]

Reblogging mainly so I can find it again when I need it.

[90342u9rewiojdfsijfjdilkjdfsfe]

ik i said it before but if you care about black artists you should really be spreading the word and helping out Amina Mucciolo rn

she’s a black, autistic, queer woman and this is the second time a big brand has profited off of her & her ideas without even so much as acknowledging they were hers to begin with.

Lisa Frank and Hotels(.)com literally caused her to be evicted in October by stealing her home design for a pop-up hotel. neither companies have issued an apology or compensated her for this to this day.

right now, LOL Surprise & MGA Entertainment are profiting off using her likeness for a doll she did not consent to, and she is not being acknowledged or compensated.

[90342u9rewiojdfsijfjdilkjdfsfe]

also, MGA Entertainment is the parent company of Bratz as well for those who were unaware. just thought that was interesting

[90342u9rewiojdfsijfjdilkjdfsfe]

also i know this post is getting rly long but please reblog this version too!! her gofundme from the Lisa Frank incident still hasn’t reached its goal, and you can support her further by supporting to her shop & buying her art or funding her directly!

name one native american intellectual off the top of your head, name one native american actor or actress off the top of your head, name one native american senator, one native american news anchor, or an author or a tv personality or a singer or a poet or a comedian, name a single native american teacher you’ve had, can you? probably not 

ok so now think of one native american cartoon character you know of or a sports team relating to native americans whether it’s their actual name or their team logo, or a town you live in or near with a “native” name bet a lot of these things came to you right away i bet you didn’t even have to think 

needing native representation in media, education and government are not decoy issues, the commercialization and appropriation of native cultures are not decoy issues, the lack of native representation is institutional oppression at work 

[travelingstargazer]

White people specifically need to reblog this, I don’t CARE if it makes you uncomfortable–that’s the point. Listen to Native voices about Native issues PLEASE

[torn-and-frayed]

I relapsed. And I know how fucking stupid that is. I’m at work right now. I haven’t slept in 24 hours and the only thing I can think of is how badly I wanna go home and do it again. I know that’s wrong and I know it’s stupid. But that’s where I am. I’m sorry I’m a fuck up. I’m sorry I failed. I’m sorry I’m not the strong woman I thought I was. Apparently this is my life now.

[thecookieconundrum]

You are NOT a fuck up. You had a moment that you weren’t strong enough, and that’s okay.
