hey folks; i know we’re all going thru it right now, so I made a carrd masterpost of some stuff to comfort us all. there’s some games, some mental health stuff, and all the crisis lines i could find. i hope it helps; please spread this if you think your followers might find it useful
guys this is not a drill. stimtastic, the affordable, quality, autism-run stim toy store is permanently shutting down once current stock is sold out. go buy something asap if you were even thinking about it before
https://www.stimtastic.co/
Stimtastic is affordable stim toys, chewable jewelry and fidgets for Autistic adults and teens (and kids too!). Owned by an Autistic person,
They have also linked on their own post to alternative businesses for once they shut down: https://stimtastic.tumblr.com/post/665050376589934593/do-you-have-any-alternatives-to-your-shop-if-this
This is correct
PSA: dont use l33t speak in AO3 tags
[image ID: an AO3 tag that reads ‘implied suicidal thoughts’ but with exclamation marks in place of the letters i]
if you do this, congrats, you’ve totally defeated the purpose of the tagging system!
AO3 is not tiktok. it is not run by a mega-corporation that sanitizes content for advertisability and shadowbans or deletes content. it’s an ARCHIVE.
by doing this, it means people won’t be able to exclude or include your tags. and if they use a text-to-speech reader, you’ve made it ten times harder to understand.
this goes for tumblr too!! if you put “su!c!de tw” anybody who has “suicide tw” blacklisted will still see your post. it’s not a warning if the words aren’t able to be read or recognized by the systems.
no hate if you’ve been doing this! just fix your tags and don’t do it in the future.
one of the important things I have learnt as an archaeologist in Australia, as a country that has a history of colonisation, is the importance of the concept of “that doesn’t need to be found yet”
Obviously, this is a part of archaeology in general. We recognise that our actions are inherently destructive, and so we should leave archaeology, sites, and areas for future archaeologists, with future technologies, and future research questions.
im not sure if it is a universal thing, or if it is something Australia specific. But it also has an important connection to working with Indigenous peoples, and their archaeology.
I work as a consulting archaeologist (CRM for American people I think). and we are often surveying, excavating, or researching a site because someone wants to do something, or damage a site, or a site is in danger (whether through development or through nature and erosion).
In consulting archaeology, finding no archaeology is the best result. There is nothing that needs to be destroyed – be it through archaeological research, or through development. That is a given. Sure, it makes for some boring days sometimes, but it’s the best outcome for pretty much everyone.
Often times, we’re required to dig in a certain area. And we look at the landscape and think,
well if I could dig anywhere…
with enough practice, and cultural knowledge (or a predictive modelling map) you can predict where sites are likely to sit. Where you are likely to find the most archaeology.
But sometimes, you shouldn’t.
sometimes it doesn’t need to be found yet.
bc sites and their locations might be known by Indigenous peoples, but archaeologists, or heritage departments, or whoever, will not be informed of them because they are not in any danger.
And in some cases his is both a reflection on the public, on the way heritage registers and site registration interacts with Indigenous cultures, and on an archaeological approach to the history of a living culture. Theres heaps of reasonings behind this that really belong in a completely different post so were not going there.
Sometimes the field of archaeology gets so excited about the research of something. Which isnt a problem (weve all done it)
but we can get sucked into chasing the oldest possible date, the earliest possible version of an artefact type, the biggest site, the intricacies of a burial, that we can forget the people behind the archaeology.
In Australia, we can chase the early dates of our own ancestors. But i think need to question why we are churning up sacred sites chasing the earliest date of a sacred site that belong to a living culture. That we (often) dont belong to.
We need to recognise that sites can wait for their time. For communities to identify which knowledge and research they would like out of a site, for their input into both the planning, the excavation, the analysis, and the publications.
And we need to recognise that our research into a site, and the knowledge it produces, is for the Indigenous communities, not just for research and academia’s sake.
and we need to stop talking like working within and around cultural practices, and having research goals are two mutually exclusive situations.
Exactly, there are some things we (anthropologists) are just not allowed to know, not allowed to speak about or ask about. And this means that sometimes the only answer is “we don’t know” and we have to accept that.
All of this! Archaeological sites are a non-renewable resource, and archaeology is a destructive science. What we find, what we study, we systematically destroy by excavation. “Avoidance is the preferred method of mitigation in all instances where archaeological resources are present” is a line I use in our consulting reports regularly.
This is the best description I’ve heard for this method, I always thought it was bullshit because I never heard a description that actually explained how to do this other than “tap your head 20 times”.
I have anxiety-induced hissing, which sounds/feels different from sound-induced tinnitus (which I have also experience). Sound-based tinnitus actually sounds like you’re “hearing” something in your ears, whilst the hissing I have feels like it’s “inside my head”, if that makes sense. But this technique still helps!!
Here’s a visual I found because I couldn’t understand the instructions well
My ringing just went away for the first time in years. What is this blissful quiet.

His name is Onur Albayrak! Here’s the story.
Hurriyet Daily News reports that Albayrak had been hired to photograph the July 5th wedding at Turgut Özal Nature Park in the eastern Turkish province of Malatya. On the day of, when he noticed that the bride-to-be didn’t look like an adult, he asked the groom her age and learned that she was only 15.
“The groom had come to my studio some two weeks ago and was alone,” Albayrak tells the Daily News. “I saw the bride for the first time at the wedding. She’s a child, and I felt her fear because she was trembling.”
Albayrak then reportedly refused to continue as the wedding photographer and attempted to stop the wedding.
The argument soon turned physical when the groom attacked him as he was attempting to leave, Albayrak says. The photographer ended up breaking the client’s nose in the fight, according to local reports.
Albayrak confirmed the reports in a Facebook post, which has been met with widespread approval, attracting thousands of Likes and hundreds of overwhelmingly positive comments.
“I wish this had never happened, but it did,” Albayrak writes. “And if you were to ask me if I’d do the same thing again, I’d say ‘yes.’ Child brides are [victims] of child abuse and no power on earth can make me photograph a child in a wedding gown.”
The legal minimum age for marriage in Turkey is 18-years-old for both sexes, and child marriage is punishable by imprisonment for men who marry underage girls. Despite being outlawed, however, child marriage is still prevalent in the country and remains a controversial political issue.
[Source] – go read the rest!
this guy is a hero.
btw - let’s remind ourselves, americans, that unlike turkey, in the US the legal minimum age for marriage is only 18 in two states. in alabama, you can be married as young as fourteen years old if you have “parental permission”. in california, you can get married under 18 if you go to counseling, have a parent with you when you apply for the marriage license, and appear before a judge. in some states, there isn’t even a specific minimum age for marriage.
the minimum marriage age for girls in new hampshire is 13 years old.
48 states allow child marriage.
child marriage is not an “over there” problem, it happens right here, legally. any one of us might find ourselves called upon to break somebody’s nose if we encounter something like this occurring. we also have a responsibility to support groups and laws trying to end child marriage in this country.
And often times, it’s not a child marrying another child. It’s a child marrying a much older person.
Please remember that child marriage is NOT an “over there” or “not here” issue. It’s just not as talked about in the USA.
Every last adult who is anywhere near this situation should feel a tremendous sense of shame that a nine year old has more moral fortitude than they do.
Isn’t this the story where local businesses offered to pay off the debt, but that the school refused?
Walmart is recalling nearly 4,000 bottles from a line of aromatherapy spray products linked with a bacterial disease outbreak. A bottle of “Better Homes & Gardens Lavender & Chamomile Essential Oil Infused Aromatherapy Room Spray with Gemstones” tested positive for B. pseudomallei, a rare and sometimes deadly bacteria that causes melioidosis.
https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2022/Walmart-Recalls-Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Essential-Oil-Infused-Aromatherapy-Room-Spray-with-Gemstones-Due-to-Rare-and-Dangerous-Bacteria-Two-Deaths-Investigated
Customers will also receive a $20 Walmart Gift Card upon return. Consistent with CDC recommendations, consumers should immediately stop usi
Current as of October 22, 2021
When I saw the headline I thought it would be something like Staph, not fucking Burkholderia pseudomallei. B. pseudomallei is put on the “tier 1 select agent” list because it has strong potential as a bioterror weapon. Also on that list are Bacillus anthracis (anthrax) and Yersinia pestis (black plague).
Hey so we are like totally sorry you were exposed to a highly deadly bacteria that’s on par with anthrax and the black plague so we’ll make it up to you: how’s 20 bucks sound?
I thought the gift card was bad enough but the CDC disposal guidelines say:
“Double bag the bottle in clean, clear zip-top bags and place in a small cardboard box. Return the bagged and boxed product to a Walmart store.”
I don’t know how many bottles are actually thought to be contaminated but handing off waste potentially containing a select agent to a minimum wage retail employee who probably doesn’t even know what the recall was for… is really something. It really should be given to the local health department to be autoclaved as medical waste.
Part of the reason B. pseudomallei is on the select agent list, other than high morbidity/mortality rate is its really low infectious dose. You can potentially get infected from only 10 live bacterial cells. For comparison, you need to ingest about 1,000,000 Salmonella bacteria to get food poisoning. Point being, it wouldn’t take much mishandling to potentially kill somebody.
This could save lives so I thought I’d share!
It’s spooky month and soon be holiday month.
Anyone going to parties and gatherings be safe!

Just to add, if your drink suddenly tastes really salty, PUT IT DOWN! Go to someone you trust and if you start feeling unwell, go to the hospital.
Also, don't let anyone you don't know and trust buy drinks for you. Don't go out alone if you can help it, and always have a designated driver with you!!! <3
I made the majority of "draw the squad" memes that helped people all over the world and hardly anyone knows it was me
I'm three months behind in rent because my cat's hospital visits and surgery cost over $5k
I'm so tired of losing
I didn’t think this would blow up...
I’m embarrassed since I posted this in a depressive episode but it’s nice to know how many people care
I’ve been getting messages about donation links so here they are:
Ko-fi
Patreon
Also don't donate if you feel like you owe me for using my dts memes. It's sweet but the donations are to help with rent and feed my cat. I made a more professional post about our living situation but this vent post is the one that ended up blowing up.
EXCUSE ME!?
What just happened!?
IATSE and their new contracts happened, and this is a VERY GOOD THING. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has, under threat of an industry-wide strike by film and TV crew supported by the Screen Actors Guild, the Directors Guild, and the Screen Writers Guild, finally agreed to negotiate better working conditions, longer turn around times to allow crew to rest between shifts, and better pay for material being put on streaming services.
What this tells us is that Marvel was using backbreaking conditions to get their shit made, and these delays are because they've been forced to actually ensure safe and fair working conditions and adequate compensation for the people working on their projects.
I know this is probably more serious but I like to imagine someone at the FTC was just pissed they couldn't get their ice cream at McDonald's
So it’s McDonald’s sabotaging and extorting franchises and not just lazy workers?
No, not everything is always lazy workers sorry.

Hey a Deaf person here. FYI several states have their own visor cards that you can get for FREE.
Contact National Association of the Deaf (NAD) to see what local association is in your state and contact them. Honestly I have never heard of (excuse the pun) that place that sells the visor card. So it’s better to go thru NAD.
For Ontario, I’ve designed the visor card for Ontario Association of the Deaf along with Ontario Provincial Police so they’re aware of this visor card! Trainings for Ontario Police is underway. You can find the visor card at here: https://www.deafontario.ca/2018/06/07/visor-card-print-at-home/
I’m biased but I like the design we used because it includes various communication methods that ppl can point to. 😁
[id: screenshoot of watermarked visor card that includes communication tips, icons of communication methods, “I need to see your:” with icons of drivers license, insurance, and registration and “I stopped you for:” with icons of various reasons and “help” with icons for various issues such as gas, lost, hospital, etc.]
(Btw OP, @brbdaly-a , the sign for know and right isn’t fully accurate. Please let us Deaf artists draw signs and get our consultation especially when sharing significant information!)
Do you think Timothee Chalamet's Wonka will be a Tumblr sexyman?
if you still have to ask you're here
Every Wonka would've been a Tumblr sexyman if the other movies came out when there was a Tumblr to sexyman them. In fact, the other Wonkas might become Tumblr sexymen by extension through the magic of alternate realities and selfcest.
thanks this reply set me back at least two stages in the grieving process
Kinda hate what the internet has done to words like and "gaslight" and "manipulation" because now they don't have the kind of impact on serious conversations that they should have. They're not to be used lightly or for hyperbole, they're important words for discussing psychology and abuse. They're supposed to be heavy because these topics are heavy.
I do like what the internet has done to the word "girlboss" though, it's really fucking funny.
"Flown too close to the sun" boring, overused, Greek. 0/10
"Girlbossed too close to the sun" novel, very funny, Daedalus would absolutely hate it. 10/10
