hey guys we can all agree its like, incredibly sad and fucked up when a trans man feels like he has to apologize for being a man, right. like even jokingly. it’s very concerning that people have created an environment where a trans person is expected to be apologetic about their identity, right.
“sorry to add another straight white male to the world 😔” no brother I’m glad you exist. being able to live your life as YOU is something you had to and will continue to fight for and we can’t afford to be apologetic about it. trans existence is always a celebration.
it's insane to me that a show like iwtv gets to exist. A story told from a black gay man's narrative, about the most toxic, messed up vampires ever that doesn't shy away from anything (in both good and bad way) with a gay couple at the centre. Not a single morally good character. Not a single straight character. Levitating gay sex in the first episode. A masterful score. The most perfect acting you have ever seen. Dialogue that almost reads as poetry. So much love and detail put into every costume and set design. It's not always perfect, but it's a masterpiece
VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.
Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)
I just looked, and there are 170 other people on there, also checking to see if there are fish waiting.
Please remember, if ever you are tempted to make a sweeping statement about human nature, that on this night in March, 2024, while war rages, there are 171 of us looking to see if a fish needs us to ring a doorbell.
Plenty else is going on, but also that.
(PS, the site says that the busiest times for fish are sunrise and sunset, which for now are at about 6:30, AM and PM, local time. Local time in Utrecht is 1 hour ahead of GMT, 5 hours ahead of EST, if that helps. I'm going to try to remember to check back again around 2 AM my time, when it will be morning for the fish!)
thinking about that one wordless calvin and hobbes sunday strip thats just calvins dad ditching his work to go play in the snow... its going to make me cry
ohhhh my god
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post
…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
i need all the help i can get for finals
Hey so
the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.
So you know.
This might be the real one, y’all.
After having tumblr for roughly 6 years maybe I'll finally make original content
we should start carrying around these
take my uquiz???
psychological “thriller” where nothing is explained by the end ex: burning, the lighthouse, shutter island. you don’t have to rely on yourself to provide all the answers.
I’m pretty okay with this.
UM EXCUSE ME THOS E ARE FUCKING PIXELS HOW
Seize the Day was a calendar program made by in 1994 by Buena Vista software. It features graphics that at the time, were revolutionary because of the way they handled color cycling. These images were static bitmaps, but by changing color values, they appear animated. What is also impressive about these images is that they had full day night cycles built in, rendered also through color cycling. A few years ago, a html5 version was made. A copy was uncovered online and there is a way to use the program through DOSbox. As well, one of the original programmers for the project, Iam Gilman, has thought of the idea of remaking it, open sourced, for modern machines.
thanks for writing a more elaborate explanation. i’ve seen these pictures be spread like wildfire without mention of the technology behind it.
why is this being presented as comical advice. i think it’s nice

Gentiles are encouraged to read all the way through and reblog.
[Transcript: screenshots from an Instagram story. Posted by ilansawolstein
Slide 1: White text on black background. White star of David in the corner. In all caps: “Why is it so Scary to be a Jew Right Now”
Slide 2: White background with a large Venn diagram. Top text reads: “There is hate coming from all sides right now and no one is even trying to hide it”
Below this text is a four circle Venn diagram.
Top Circle: “Nation of Islam: Louis Farrakhan and his followers who call us “satanic termites””
Left Circle: “Far Left: Anti-Zionists believe we’re all racist imperialists and blame us for the Israeli government”
Right Circle: “Far Right: White supremacists are “racist” against us (even though Judaism is not a race)”
Bottom Circle: ““Mainstream Antisemitism: your everyday bigot Holocaust deniers. “Jews control the world”“
The middle overlap between all four circles reads: “have openly said they want me dead” and the other overlaps repeat this same message but broken up to a couple of words per overlap.
Slide 3: White background with a bar graph. Top text reads: “We are grossly outnumbered" Text continues down the right side: “The combined IG followings of 5 of the most vocal celebrities spreading dangerous antisemitism this month outnumber the total US Jewish population by OVER 7 to 1. (Stephen Jackson, Desean Jackson, Ice Cube, Nick Cannon, Diddy). Ice Cube and Diddy alone have each spread antisemitism to more followers than there are Jews in the ENTIRE WORLD. We literally can’t do this alone.”
The bar graph to the left of the text compares the Instagram followings of the above celebrities (in red) with the world Jewish population (in grey).
Left column: “Four [sic] Vocal Celebrity Instagram Followings
Stephen Jackson 89.3K
Desean Jackson 1.4 mil
Nick Cannon 4.9 million
Ice Cube 17.8 million
Diddy 17.1 million”
(The column continues to the top of the slide, with Diddy’s follow count presumably running over the top)
Right column: “Entire World Jewish Population
Total US Jews 5.7 million
Jews of the Rest of the World 9 million
Total: 14.7 million”
(This column reaches less than half of the visible left column)
Slide 4: large red number and smaller white text on the red background.
“2107 hate crimes against Jews reported by the ADL in 2009. The highest # of hate crimes since they started recording in 1979.”
Slide 5: White background with two pie charts. Top Text reads: “Jews make up just 2% of the U.S. population...” Bottom text reads: “...But were victims of 57.8% of all religion-based hate crimes in 2018. (The next highest is anti-Islam at 14.5%)”
The pie charts are black with copper slices
Top chart: compares total US population with Jewish population using statistic above. “Jews” is a tiny tiny sliver of the larger “Rest of US Population”
Bottom chart: compares hate crime percentages from above. “Hate Crimes Against Jews” takes up more than half of the chart compared to “All Other Religion Based Hate Crimes”
Slide 6: Title is white text black background, rest is white background. Title reads: “If it’s such a big deal why aren’t more people talking about it?”
1. “They’re scared.
For non-Jews, vocalizing support of Jewish people feels vulnerable and unsafe. What will people think of me? Will it look like I’m taking away from another movement? Will it change how people perceive me politically? Will people think I don’t care about Palestinians?
For Jews, standing up for ourselves is vulnerable and unsafe. Will people believe me? Will my coworkers judge me? Will people equate me with the Israeli government? Will I lose friends, respect? Will people see me differently? Will people think I’m taking away from another movement? Will people think I’m being dramatic?
2. They don’t want to.
A lot of non-Jews don’t want to talk about it because it doesn’t effect them. Others don’t want to talk about it because they believe what they’re hearing is “the truth”. And some, frankly, just don’t care.
For Jews, talking about it can feel like a lost cause -- “They’ve hated us for thousands of years and are going to hate us anyways so why bother”. For others, it is simply too painful.”
Slide 7: Black background. Large white text reads “Honestly, I don’t want to talk about it either. But if I don’t call out antisemitism, who will? Sadly I am afraid to know the answer to that question. And that is exactly why it’s so scary to be a Jew right now.”
Slide 8: Red background. White text in quotation marks reads: “If we’re going to be outraged by injustice, let’s be outraged by injustice against anyone. -Kareem Abdul-Jabbar”
Slide 9: Red background. White title text reads “ What Can You Do?”
“Non-Jews: We’re not asking for much. Call it out. Make it clear you stand against all hate. Believe us. Be open to learning, growing, and questioning what you’ve been taught.
Jews: Speak up. While you’re standing up for everyone else, don’t forget to stand up for yourself. Very few others are.”

putting aside the far-left thing, informative
Antisemitism exists in both the left and the right. Harassing someone for being Jewish *because Israel* is antisemitism. Refusing to allow Jewish people a seat at the table is antisemitism. Interrupting religious spaces is antisemitism. Querying someone's views on a foreign country after they've been attacked is antisemitism.
If you "put aside" antisemitism on the left. You are not standing against antisemitism, you are using it as a political prop when it is convenient for yourself.
No, not "putting aside the far-left thing." Definitely including leftists and liberals and literally anyone else who does or says something antisemitic! What will it take for y'all to actually listen to Jews about this? Informative? Apparently not, since you literally just demonstrated the mealy-mouthed lukewarm bullshit "support" that this graphic is trying to point out is not enough and often actively harmful.
Do better.
hey I’m procrastinating so find out which gay childhood character you are
people being mad bc they got straight is so funny sajhks sorry dudes, maybe stan bfu and pick a normal gay color next time :/
MOTHERFUCKER
Everyone say it with me: THANK YOU BLACK VOTERS AND ORGANIZERS
The news people called it. President-elect Joe Biden. I’m gonna take a second to breathe now. Yes I’ll get back to fighting eventually. Today though? I’m just gonna like... take a second to cry in relief. It won’t truly be over until Inauguration Day but for now I’m gonna have this.
the fight isn’t over but fuck, this is definitely the time we need to take a breather
y’all i know people will be yelling that we aren’t done yet, and that’s true we aren’t done, but it’s okay to celebrate and it’s okay to feel this relief and to feel this win, it’s okay to pause for a moment and be happy
i normally hate it when people say stuff like this, but if you didn’t experience whatever that emotion was last night, you simply won’t get it. we can’t explain it to you, im sorry but you had to be there. you either invented a new emotion when you heard about the destiel confession or you’re normal and you’ll never get it.
i genuinely don’t know what that emotion was, but it was good and im gonna be chasing that high for the rest of my life
