you have to take care of yourself and not punch yourself down because you feel like you 'deserve it'. if you feel like the world is against you, you should at least be on your own side while you work through things.

"No climate justice on occupied land"

They switched up from golf clapping to police brutality real quick when she started talking about their racism.

I feel like Greta Thunberg is sort of the perfect case study for how these things go.

She starts off talking about climate change in general and the great and grand were like "wow, this little autistic girl is so articulate, let's clap for her effort". They loved her as a trinket but never really listened.

The moment she caught on that Awareness isn't enough and she started advocating for an actual solution - e.g. the dismantling of Capitalism - they came down on her like a ton of rocks.

Urgent Rent Mutual Aid for Black Muslim Woman

Hey everyone, I know yall are sick of me. As some of yall know I lost my job last month. Though I am in final round interviews for 4 potential jobs, I still have not recieved an offer yet and rent is due June 1st.

I need help raising $925 to pay my rent on the 1st and it would mean the world to me if yall could boost and share this bc I only have $6 in my account rn and have been surviving off of vibes and the kindness of strangers and friends.

This last month has been super tumultuous and losing my job really hurt me not only financially but mentally. I am hopeful that a few job offers will be coming with in the next week or so, but obviously, I will not be paid in time to make rent without having to pay a heap of late fees.

Please find it in your hearts to help me through this rough patch as I actively work towards employment.

some of you may've heard about that fancy "bionic reading" typefont thats supposed to be easier for neurodivergent people to read (if you're unfamiliar, it bolds the first few letters of each word to make it easier to follow)

well guess what, its locked behind a $500 a month API to write in because fuck you!

introducing, Not Bionic Reading! it is literally just the bionic reading typefont but for free. god bless neocities

Tech bros are on another world just make a framework like the rest of us.

anyone who can, pls reblog!

my favourite trope is “antagonist and protagonist narrowly avoiding each other in the same space” and The Emperor’s New Groove nails it perfectly I wish more media did stuff like this

Emperor’s New Groove was ahead of its time for a multitude of reasons lmao

This must be hysterical for the bird though.

Raven: Okay, here’s my pitch. We have been trying to put stuff in the box according to shape, right? But, see, it’s difficult and sometimes you get confused if the shapes are similar. There’s got to be a better way, right mammal? And there is!! I was checking out the box and it turns out that the lid comes off! So not only you can just drop in whatever, independent of its shape, but you can you use the box to full capacity!! Eh? Eh?? Cool right?

Human: … please just drop the star in the star-shaped hole

[Video description

Video: A crow is trying to put a small 3d plastic shape into a box. It’s a child’s shape awareness toy thingy. The lid of the box has six shaped holes, a triangle, a square, a circle, a cross and a 5 pointed star in the centre. The crow has the star shape in her beak and is attempting to place it in the corresponding hole.

Text and voice: working on her hardest shape.

Video: the crow keeps trying to force the star into the cross hole but it won’t fit. She gets frustrated and walks away.

Voice: Try again.

Video: the box now has two strips of blue tape covering the incorrect holes. The only remaining one is the correct one. The crow does not appear to appreciate this and immediately pokes a hole through the tape and pulls the entire lid off with her beak.

Voice: no! Not that hole!

Video: the crow drops the lid on the ground.

Voice: Noooo! Girlfriend!

Video: the crow then walks round the back of the box, throws the lid aside and picks up the star shape that was on the ground under the lid and drops the star in the box.

Text and Voice: technically what I asked her to do.

Voice: Yes, yes, yes. Try again.

Video: the lid is on the box again and there are several holes in the tape. The crow places the star shape on top of the star hole then pokes it through. Video cuts to a later but where there’s no tape over any of the holes. The crow is trying to put the star in the circular hole then the square hole. She then puts it in the star hole and gets some treats from a human hand.

Voice: yes, success, yes, good, yes. Nice job.

tag description: whenever it comes to animal intelligence i have to remember the quote “if rabbits defined intelligence like humans the most intelligent animal would be a rabbit followed by whatever is most likely to do what rabbits want” what the crow did WAS more intelligent than finding the right hole. it realized there was an objectively better solution it’s not its fault that it doesn’t know the secret rules of the universe

Fun fact: if you know your feline body language, you’ll notice that the lynx is deferring to the housecat. As far as these two are concerned, the housecat is the higher-ranking cat.

This is the Great Pyramid of King Khufu. Everybody knows the Great Pyramid of King Khufu, but you probably don’t know about the Shit Pyramids of his father, King Sneferu. This is a shame, because they are amazing.

When King Sneferu came to the throne of Egypt, the cool thing that all the pharaohs had was a Step Pyramid, like the original one built by King Djoser and designed by Imhotep (not the mummy). King Sneferu could easily have had one one because his predecessor King Huni had died before his could be finished. All Sneferu had to do was step in and put the last few blocks on.

But King Sneferu had a vision. He didn’t want any old Step Pyramid. He was going to build Egypt’s first smooth-sided pyramid, and make King Huni’s pyramid way taller in the bargain. It didn’t work. The core of Huni’s pyramid couldn’t handle the modifications and nowadays the Step Pyramid at Meidum looks like this:

It’s not on a hill - that’s the outer layers of the pyramid that have fallen down all around it. The name of the structure in Arabic is Heram el-Kaddaab, which means something like The Sort-Of Pyramid.

Anyway, King Sneferu was understandably disappointed and made his pyramid-builders start over from scratch at a different site. Apparently having learned nothing about the Big Fat Nowhere that hubristic pyramid ambition was going to get him, this pyramid was designed to be even taller and pointier than the last effort! Too tall and pointy, in fact - the bedrock proved to be less stable than he might have hoped, and by the time the pyramid was half-finished stuff was already moving and cracking inside of it. There are ceilings in this pyramid that are to this day partially held up by wooden beams.

The builders seem to have panicked and decided that the only way to finish the pyramid without another disaster was to make the top half lighter than the bottom half. They did this by changing the angle of the slope, ending up with a pyramid that looks like this:

Egyptologists call this one the Bent Pyramid for fairly obvious reasons. Uniquely among Egyptian Pyramids, it has most of its smooth outer blocks intact, rather than having them all stolen to build other stuff (most of medieval Cairo is built from the skin of the Giza pyramids). I’m guessing this is because nobody dared touch the thing for fear the whole structure would come down like a giant limestone game of Jenga.

I’m sure the pyramid-builders were very proud of this solution. Sneferu appears to have been less so. He had them move over about half a mile and start over. Again. Why only half a mile when he had them move 34 miles between the Sort-of Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid is a mystery. I think he wanted to keep them in sight of the Bent Pyramid so they could look at it and feel ashamed every once in a while.

And there they built Sneferu’s third pyramid, which is called the Red Pyramid. As pyramids go, it’s a very cautious one - it’s got the shallowest slope rise of any Egyptian pyramid, and while it’s the same height as the Bent Pyramid it spreads its weight over a much greater base area, making it far more stable. Sneferu seems to have been happy with this one, because he was buried in it. Either that, or after a forty-eight-year reign he just finally died and that was the pyramid they used because it was the nicest of the three.

These three pyramids together actually contain substantially more stone than the Great Pyramid of Sneferu’s son Khufu. By the time Sneferu died, his workforce had honed themselves into a lean, mean pyramid-building machine. They had already made every possible pyramid mistake. So when Khufu announced that he didn’t just want a great pyramid, but The Great Pyramid, these guys built him a pyramid so fucking great that we now think aliens must have done it.
