Tis I a Turtle

so i've been shown Anetra's duckwalk performance fairly often via youtube recommended and the second they brought out guys to hold wood boards so she could do board-breaking as part of the routine I could feel it,

the gap between professional wrestling's pageantry of violence and drag race's violence of pageantry close in on one another

I know wrestledrag is a thing but it's not quite mainstream yet and I think that's where we're inching towards, I really just want a wrestlemania style debut, (fog machines, air canons, theme music blasting) to introduce two performers lip-synch routining an intro, who are there ready to kick the absolute piss out of each other in a glorious bout of pre-planned violence

it’s gonna be glorious, I think we can say that much

cmon apollo this is the only time I'm gonan try to tempt you

#'i love conflict' is the most agent thing to have ever been said by an agent

SAG just released all the deal points and the AMPTP’s response, and you can find ALL of it online but I feel like this screenshot from it sums the whole thing up.

I feel that my readership is an especially appropriate audience for this. :D

[ID: A sheet of paper with a decorative illumination on it; the illumination shows a stylized Excel spreadsheet with a green menu bar across the top. The menu bar reads "Needs more" in a gothic-style font, and the spreadsheet itself has the word "Spreadsheets" inked across it, with an illuminated "S" and decorative calligraphic lettering on the rest. It's sexy as hell.]

so my younger cousin is flying in to visit from brazil on sunday, and will be staying here for like, the entirety of july. which, don't get me wrong, is super cool! i love the kid! but it felt like a super weird move, considering his parents are the SUPER strict and borderline helicopter parents. even the smallest prank/roughousing with him/his little sister would lead to a strict talking to from his parents, he couldn't ever do anything without their clear permission, that sort of stuff. so letting him fly at alone at 16 to a whole different country and stay there for a whole month seemed WILDLY out of character. additionally, it just felt like a super last-minute trip. it's not like we have any plans to do when he gets here, and the flight itself and stuff only got booked like, midway through june.

and i was talking to my mom about it, kind of trying to nudge some answers out of her, and after a while she went, "yeah, i think they're sending him over here to get away for his boyfriend. see if the distance breaks them off." which, first of all, surprised me because last i checked, they didn't KNOW he had a boyfriend. literally everyone in the family did EXCEPT for them because while that entire side of the family being semi-conservative, his parents (mostly his dad) are EXTREMELY old-fashioned. so clearly something already went wrong. and considering the only reason the rest of the family knew is because one person found out and it spread like wildfire, i have a sneaking suspicion he wasn't the one to tell them, either.

and second of all. they're sending him HERE. to try to make him forget his homosexuality. i couldn't do anything but just wordlessly gesture to the multiple pride flags scattered around my room, then to myself, because really? he has like two other cousins in the us and they're sending him to me? honey i am about to introduce this kid to queer scenes you have never even heard of. he'll be returning home with labels only shrimp can perceive

not every gay person is the evil faggot trying to convert your kid to the gay agenda like the media claims, but i sure am

“Your ancestors are amazed at all your spices!”

“Your ancestors are impressed that you are an educated woman!”

“Your ancestors are proud that you are thriving in spite of what society did to them and you”

It’s all very sweet! But! Necromancy! Is! Still! Illegal! Your ancestors are going back in the ground!

Stop resurrecting them to show off!

I'm just gonna slide this on in here for anyone that is interested in preserving old games. They take it very seriously too, they want an archive of every single game. Like, they have lists of every game ever released for a system, and once that system gets old enough, they add it to their archive and start collecting. Their latest addition was the Xbox 360, they opened that vault up in September 2022, and proudly announced they'd finished their collection of games for it back in April.

Also, while their game archives are almost entirely complete, they've got another project of archiving the manuals that came with those games, and that is... considerably less well filled out. Their collection of Xbox 360 manuals is especially rough, they've only gotten manuals for three games. So if you've got some Xbox 360 games kicking around, and the manual's still with them, please consider scanning them and submitting them to the site!

Game preservation is important, but people rarely consider preserving the manuals as well; I really respect Vimm's Lair for being so thorough in their archival work.

[ID: A screenshot of a Tweet and ReTweet.

The original Tweet reads: "do the studios realize that the current state of streaming residuals absolutely destroys the moral case against piracy".

The ReTweet adds on: "like the moral case against piracy is 'people deserve to get paid for their work' except it turns out the people getting paid aren't the people who did the work'".

So what happens if two people who have promised their firstborn to separate witches have a child together? Do they both just pop up in the nursery and have a custody battle?

I need a book about a little girl whose parents had promised their firstborn to different witches and the only way that both ends of the deal were fulfilled was for them to have joint custody of the child.

I love it!

And then the witches, forced to share a cottage while raising their joint stolen child, fall in love…

Gamer moment

true gamers are equal opportunity haters

I used an enby pride flag in league (which gives you a little flag trail behind your character) and someone said to me:

"What are your pronouns so I can insult you properly"

dating-type app but instead of matching for romance it connects writers/artists+ who don't want to do research with autistic people with the appropriate special interest

the creators get the needed information without needing to filter out filler and translate technical jargon, and the autistic person gets someone who's willing to listen to their infodumps. what is there to lose

One of the only thing the 2000s had going for it was the mythbusters. Those dudes ruled, nobody hated the mythbusters, I mean they hated each other but nobody else hated the mythbusters

An entire generation of scientists, engineers, and psychos with access to amphetamines owe so much to them

Sorry prev, but your tags were good and I felt like everyone should get to read them

watching people on tiktok consume borax is uh. something.

having to say “don’t eat borax” was not on my 2023 bingo

@the-puffinry

Can’t believe in the year 2023 we have to say: do not consume borax. It will not provide a “parasite cleanse”, it does not combat the “evil fluoride” in your water, and it is not a super mineral. It will damage your organs. Also, it’s not rated for human consumption so frankly, who knows what it’s cross-contaminated with (my personal bet would be arsenic).

Absolutely love when I Google something I've never heard of and find the reason I've never heard of it is because it's been banned in the EU for safety concerns

Wonder if it's being used in the same way the bleach was being used by the conservative moms a while ago, because it seems to "cure" thr same things.

My favourite thing about tumblr, that in my opinion makes it far superior to other social media sites, is that new posts live side by side with old posts. These days, there’s a prioritization of new content. It not only shortens the lifespan of people’s work, memes and such, but it also devalues the work that goes into making certain things.

Sure, a lot of posts are just random thoughts spewed into the ether, but some posts are carefully crafted videos, photos, artwork, prose, that take the creator a considerable amount of time and effort to craft. So, as a content creator, it’s nice to see that you can put work into a piece of content on here and it can have a life of its own. Unlike other platforms where posts live and die in a matter of day, sometimes, hours

Yeahhhhhh!!!!!!!

Sometimes twitter be hitting

This is even funnier with context attached

Universal basic income is essential if we want to build a bright future in the age of automation. 

Seriously. The 40-hour work week was codified in 1940, before computers did anything. Per-hour productivity has more than quadrupled since then, but we’re working even harder, to live not all that much better. It’s absurd.

No, it’s not absurd, it’s deliberate. The ruling class wants us to work as hard as possible, so they have profits to skim and pile up.

I’ll reblog this every time I see it:  Before the 40 hour work week, we had the 80 hour work week, the 100 hour work week.  What got us 40 hours?  Unions.  Want a work week that reflects productivity levels?  Unions.  Want UBI?  Unions.
