bloomberg i distinctly remember food riots in 2008 or so

[nyantara]

btw planting season is underway in asia. the climate is already bad with heatwaves and strange monsoon behaviour. we will see declining yields in 6 months, much like when sri lanka cut fertiliser imports due to balance of payments crises. very few strategic food or fertiliser reserves these days. they're not evenly distributed and most of the food reserves are in india and china due to institutional memory of famine + the us has globally encouraged the decline of food reserves as a matter of WTO free trade / anti protectionism policy.

it’s such a basic part of the reality of disabled people as a whole but it’s STILL so hard to get ppl to understand that some people will simply die without 24/7 care. their care is not for comfort, it’s not for fun, it’s literally a matter of life and death. “if their care was taken away i’m sure they’d learn to suck it up like the rest of us!” – something ive heard time and time again. no they wouldn’t, they would die. they HAVE died. they continue to die as cuts are made to welfare and health. why is this so impossible for people to grasp.

Not gonna lie this makes me a bit irritated. Here's the real version of this photo:

Instead of a cutesie reference to film censorship it was an explicit statement of defiance of Maryland's criminalization gay sex, which was not repealed until 2002. This wasn't a guy saying "Oh they can't put what I do in the movies according to a completely voluntary industry code" he was saying "The State of Maryland wants to put me in jail for being gay and having gay sex."

It wasn't a guy being cheeky about sex in an ambiguous, cute way. It was a man stating, in no uncertain terms, that a whole state of the United States considered him a criminal for being homosexual.

This new fish species is called Snuffleupagus. You can probably guess why | CBC Radio

S. snuffleupagus, a newly described species of fish, is named after the beloved Sesame Street character, Mr. Snuffleupagus, to which it bear

SNUFFLEUPAGUS REAL

[brightnessrandom]

Fantastic article!! The guys looking for it were fish researchers who saw it one time, knew instantly it was an undescribed species, and then tried for nearly 20 years to find and document it!

It's a type of ghost pipefish, related to seahorses, and it floats around coral reefs looking like a piece of algae and hunting unsuspecting prey

They are, of course, named after Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street!

Later on it the project, they got citizen science involved, and people across the Pacific started reporting sightings of snuffy fish from all over!

Hooray for science and hooray for S. snuffleupagus !

please wear sunscreen!!! I've seen "fuck the beauty industrial complex" posts about complicated skincare regimens and am 100% with them except sometimes they mention sunscreen and no. no. absolutely not. sunscreen is a wonderful supportive friend who wants to keep you safe, and you should let her do it. throw out all your other cosmetics and skincare products if you want, but keep your sunscreen. and if you're not wearing sunscreen, start wearing it!!!! this is not about terror of aging, this is not about every tiny imperfection our fucked-up culture has made you feel insecure about, this is about protecting yourself from skin cancer. wear the damn sunscreen.

[theriverwater]

And LISTEN, if you are hesitant. i know sunscreens can be pricey. and theres a lot of fearmongering around cheaper sunscreens. and i know they make your eyes sting. and i know it can feel gross is u have sensory issues. but please hear me out. invest in 1 big tube of cheaper sunscreen and 1 smaller tube of any 'new generation' sunscreen that won't sting (reddit is a great place to look for recs). both at least spf50 and pa+++. use the more expensive one for the UPPER PART OF YOUR FACE. and the cheaper one for the rest of your face and body. apply generously and reaply.

[bossymarmalade]

If your skin is darker and you're worried about the white pasty sheen that sunscreen can leave on your skin, stay away from the mineral ones and look for the ones that say "clear" or have good reviews from other poc! I use Neutrogena Invisible sunscreen on my face and Hawaiian Tropic on the rest of me, and it works for my sister too -- for visual clarification we span the following skin tones:

If you still find it looks a lil ashy on your face, mix in a dot of tinted moisturizer or foundation. You need barely any at all and you can use a BB cream or something else that's super light coverage if you don't care for makeup.

This is what I would do if I was Count Binface and I actually won:

Resign from office on the grounds that I only ran for the bants, triggering a further by-election

Immediately announce my candidacy for the by-election.

[steorran]

not interested in getting involved in the rest of this discussion, for the most part, but to me this is a GREAT piece of advice that many people these days don't seem to be getting or understanding.

not everyone you meet or interact with is your friend, the requirements and expectations for respectful behaviour between friends is not the same as between strangers.

[princesscas]

If you told me that in 2019 the government would have been shutdown for over 20 days because of the wall funding AND that Clemson not only won the Championship BUT the President of the United States would serve them McDonalds, Wendys. Burger King and Pizza Hut…I would not have believed you. Its straight up, like an article from theonion

Imagine winning the championship and you’re invited to the white house only to walk into the room to find cold fast food had been served. I mean COME ON 

They’ve got fine china and this poor guy is struggling to pick up a piece of pizza with…tongs. THEY DIDN’T EVEN TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF THE BOX 

At the same time this is sad, disrespectful and trashy but like…I find it hilarious that this even happened. 

EDIT: I CAN’T BREATHE THEY PUT THE PACKETS OF SAUCES IN THESE FANCY DISHES 

[virginiaisforhaters]

his big brag for this one was he “paid for all the food himself” because the white house cooks are furloughed (because of him you know) but are you telling me that this dude who is supposedly a billionaire couldnt afford to pay a few chefs for the night? my dude that is fucked 

[southernbitchface]

Is The Onion still in business because the world is one major shitpost already. What are they gonna do? Write real news?

[axolameo]

It’s BUCK WILD that he couldn’t get catering from one of his businesses (hotels/restaurants?). Like that is so insane that a literal billionaire felt the need to brag that he bought fast food. Like this is a fever dream

[wumblr]

all of the numbers that are divisible by 17 sound so absurd. 51? 68? 85? ridiculous. 102? absolutely not. and don't even get me started on 119

[wumblr]

34 and 136 i can believe, but i feel like i shouldn’t. it’s 102 in a trench coat

[red-swimmerz-deactivated2021082]

did we just run out of posts to make

[wumblr]

no, i haven't made a post about every number yet

[swinginsportscutebasketball]

I'm sorry to let you know that 100,000,001 (one hundred million and one) is divisible by 17 and because of that, so is every 16-digit number that is four digits repeated four times e.g. 1234123412341234

[wumblr]

[wizardoftrash]

Dividing by 17 in-general is insane behavior. This is eldritch math, so of course it’s gunna have wild outcomes. This is truly an info-hazard. I’m gunna see a number in the wild, wonder if 17 is lurking in there, and if I whip out my phone calculator and it’s true I’m going to LOSE IT.

[felixcloud6288]

@swinginsportscutebasketball is absolutely correct.

Proof:

100,000,001 / 17 = 5,882,353 so that's true.

This means if we divide 100,000,000 by 17, we get a remainder of 16.

So under modulo rules, 100,000,000 is equivalent to 16 under mod 17.

100,000,000 is also equal to 10 raised to the eighth power (10^8).

Now let's say we have some arbitrary number x which can be any whole number from 0 to 9999 inclusive.

Now let's make the 16 digit number where we repeat the same 4 digits 4 times.

This number will be equal to x*10^12 + x*10^8 + x*10^4 + x.

We can use modulo equivalences to prove this is divisible by 17. All we need to prove is that this number is equivalent to 0 under mod 17.

Quick interim form of the equation: x*10^8*10^4 + x*10^8 + x*10^4 + x.

I established earlier that 10^8 is equivalent to 16 under mod 17 so I can replace all instance of 10^8 with 16 and still have an equivalent number under mod 17: 16x*10^4 + 16x + x*10^4 + x

Add like terms: 17x*10^4 + 17x.

17(x*10^4 + x)

Anything multiplied by 17 is automatically equivalent to 0 under mod 17. Therefore the number is divisible by 17.

Conclusion: Any 16 digit number that is the same 4 digits repeated 4 times is divisible by 17.

so i hauve covid rn and i must say, American cold medicine is the absolute bees knees. You go to a UK pharmacy and they tenderly press like eight (8) paracetamol into the palm of your hand... God FORBID you're sick in France, i had to scour every pharmacy in Paris for something that wasn't HOMEOPATHIC PASTILLES. meanwhile last night i took the last of my stash of Nyquil that expired in 2019 and it was like getting hit by a fucking baseball bat (affectionate). press X to timeskip. LOVE me a cheeky little medically induced coma. you can really feel that it's a precursor to meth. i know that everything is fucking awful over there my friedns and my heart goes out to every one of you but if you need one small bright light of national pride in this time of strife please know that i envy you your cold medicine every day

[slowspinningredemption]

i once took an american antihistamine pill just a basic one for seasonal allergies and i had to immediately lay down and while doing so i vividly hallucinated that i was a steerage passenger on the titanic resigned to my death as my cabin filled up rapidly with water. then i blacked out and when i woke up again my allergies were gone for the entire season.

The Hat Man is our greatest export

[byjove]

I love helping everyone rediscover the fact that the opening passage of My Immortal is a parody of the opening passage of The Vampire Lestat and not just a generic exaggeration of the typical fanfic Mary Sue introduction. One of the many delightful goth kid Easter eggs the author planted for the audience.

[byjove]

let the audience decide…

it was a deliberate nod to the opening passage of The Vampire Lestat (1985)

it was accidental

Voting ended onJun 24

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

I'm convinced My Immortal is a big joke, not a legitimate amateur teenage fanfic

[saxophonechihuahua]

my 100% proof of this is how she always spells sirius black's name as "serious". at one point, sirius says something in a grave manner, written in the story as: "serious said siriusly". its my favorite bit

[chaser]

We were feeling pretty chuffed about having the #6 trending post on this website until we saw number 7 was a Supernatural mpreg edit

[chaser]

Alrighty then

[chaser]

Yea that's fair

[chipsncookies]

Happy Jirachi day and thank you for giving us this legendary gif

i think it is important to recognize the ways in which your favorite thing sucks. i think it keeps u normal

prev im so sorry to put you on blast like this but please know this had me in hysterics

Hello everyone!

Last year I started designing a series of Coat of Arms, themed in the spirit of Pride Month and using different mythological creatures as heraldic animals. I now aim to turn these designs into wearable pins and will be running a Kickstarter in Julyto fund this endeavor!

★★ WE ARE NOW LIVE ★★

Coat of Pride: The Mythological Pride Enamel Pin Collection!

A collection of Pride themed Coat of Arms Enamel Pins. Rally your friends, choose your crest and celebrate with PRIDE.

In addition to these 5 designs I wish to be able to crowdfund enough to be able to also manufacture the following pins and identities:

I have found a very trustworthy local manufacturer, who has already shown the quality of their craftsmanship with the first batch of test pins I received, just look at the detail they were able to produce!

Since I try to support local manufacturers, which produce pins with fair wages and are more ethical than outside of Europe, the pins are more expensive to create than through the usual pipeline via Asia.

I therefore seek to crowdfund the expenses since they would be more than I can afford. If you are interested and look forward to support this little endeavor, please follow the link below to support our project!! These little guys will also be part of the campaign as sticker rewards!

This June, I need Gen Z queers to understand that some people are closeted.

[canichangemyblogname]

I am saying this as a Gen Z queer, before y’all get your guns out to fucking shoot me.

But I need y’all to understand that if someone doesn’t give you their government name in a queer space, it’s not because they’re “mysterious,” and you do not have permission to take it upon yourself to figure out their “real identity” and go digging for them online like a private investigator. First, that’s creepy and a violation of privacy and reasonable boundaries. Second, some of us keep our private and professional lives very separate because we need to keep food on the fucking table and a roof over our heads, and our private life could jeopardize that.

[canichangemyblogname]

“Why won’t you tell me about your parents?” “Why can’t I know your real name?” “Where do you work?”

1.) Not all our parents would bake us a fucking cake when we come out. Some of us are closeted. Surely you understand this? You also do not need to know my parent’s names or occupations; we are both adults. I do not need nor want to mix you and my private life with my parents and my public life.

2.) Trans people do not owe you their dead name or government name

3.) I’m not telling you for the sake of job security. I am a government fucking caseworker working amidst a fucking lavender panic!

“There’s no way you’re a different person outside this; you’re still you at your core. What harm is there—”

No, I am a completely different person. A different person with a different personality and different interests and a different name and presentation. I am a completely different person because I keep this life and my public life private to avoid fracturing 90% of my interpersonal relationships and 100% of my professional ones.

“You’re not out? But you’re so confident.”

See— that’s part of the issue. Y’all assume someone is in the closet because they hate themselves or lack self-identity. Some of us know exactly who we are, but need to prioritize financial stability or else our entire life gets exponentially harder immediately.

[canichangemyblogname]

You meet queer people over the age of 40 and one of the first/earliest questions is “who knows?”

I need y’all to start bringing that energy. Because it’s not always safe for someone to be out and not everyone is safe to be out around.

There is a misnomer that “the closet” inherently means “doesn’t know they’re queer” and not “isn’t out widely and publicly.” “Outness” is often a patchwork.

[the-scottish-costume-guy]

Even if someone who isnt out does share any life details with you, you keep those to yourself. You tread carefully and assume others dont know until told otherwise. And sometimes you lie and help keep that closet door shut. It is ok to feel super weird about it if someone comes out to you as trans but tells you to only use their preferred name and pronouns privately just the two of you. It's fine to feel uncomfortable when people ask you if a gay person has an opposite gendered partner. It is so valid to feel weird and bad deadnaming someone even though they requested it. It stops being valid if you do anything other than they asked. Feel your feelings, and keep them to yourself - someone else's identity isn't about you.
