You can ask me anything, guest.

Has anyone told the newcomers not to interact with corporations and questionable celebrities? Yeah, that's how we render them useless and make this site unprofitable. The last Twitter exodus had some slimy things crawl in, and we swept most under the rug out of sight.

And on the mobile app, if you hold and drag the make a post button, a fun thing happens.

Hellsite veterans, THIS is how you integrate redditors.

I wasn't sold on tumblr until I discovered the caterpillar. I even posted about it when I was still figuring this place out a few months ago (but also I am still figuring this place out).

Aliko Dangote, the richest man in Africa, has been tormented by a Brazilian man named Osvaldo for the last several years.

Aliko is not taking it well

I worked very hard on this

hey uh what exactly is possessing you people to reblog a nearly 10 year old shrek meme that I made in high school

we really need to re-introduce the term "publicity stunt" back into our vocabulary. too many people are getting continually duped by blatant marketing ploys bc fundamentally they don't see celebrities as....greedy millionaires cashing in on media trends to make money

hmmm i see what u mean, but entertain this idea with me....the misuse of the term 'publicity stunt' could potentially put an end to tiktok's popularity because the kids on that app would start to see themselves as 'posers' the way teens did in the '00s

NO UR ACTUALLY COMPLETELY AND OBJECTIVELY CORRECT MB

My cartoon for the latest issue of New Scientist.

My favourite type of movie is “period piece romance but fantasy-horror hijinks happen and now everyone has to adapt to the new genre or die,” ala Curse of the Black Pearl, Anastasia, The Mummy (1999)

"everybody has to adapt to the new genre" is really criminally underutilized in general

for the redditors coming here, this is how we spread news of important events in the world, with a Destiel meme

For everybody who's been here a while and felt like Wiley E. Coyote just after running off the edge of the cliff when they scrolled down to find nothing below

watch out guys. The Crime Skeleton

Encounter: the Crime Skeleton; rated one of the Craziest Inventions of All Time

Every few months twitterinas bring back the “carnivores are a problematic element of nature and we should feed them synthetic meat and make it so they don’t eat herbivores. this is completely normal, feasible and won’t have any kind of repercussion on the ecosystem” discourse

First time I saw that was a guy who had as proposition to create fake prey animals with a robotic exoskeleton and covered in synthetic meat that predators would hunt, eat and then the exoskeleton would get up and go to the lab to get re meated. That was funny as hell

Tiger watching skinless carcass it just ate get up and walk away

theres something so beautiful about things becoming dirty from their job. like a painter's desk being covered in paint stains, or a gardeners pants having mud stains that wont wash out, or a cutting board being stained from all the foods that have been cut on it. just a clear, distinct telling of "this was used as intended and it shows" an object clearly showing it's been used and loved

everyone talking about wrinkles i want you to know I absolutely adore those additions. wrinkles and scars and stretch marks, too. like yeah. this body has lived and loved and grown and this is proof <3

Forgot gifs existed for a second and freaked out at why there was a moving picture on my screen

It was this one from my eepy post. I had a Moment like did that wolf just fucking move its eyes?!

Retro Style Pride Flag Shirts from Sabor a Libertad

Trans // Queer // Bi // Lesbian // Genderfluid // Nonbinary

Genderqueer // Pan // Aromantic // Asexual // Poly

No 💕

These shirts are not from the target pride collection. These are designed and made by a small queer owned indie business. If they made them any cheaper they wouldn’t be paid fairly for their work and costs would need to be cut somewhere meaning the actual shirt would be made less ethically.

Also. 45 dollars for a shirt is pretty affordable.

If items like this aren’t affordable to you right now, that’s fine and I’m sorry you’re in that situation. I have very much been there. But ffs stop putting shit like this on posts.

It’s pride. How ‘bout y’all actually support some queer owned businesses this month yeah?

i love this wolf so much i had to draw him….. 

Sasha the Christmas Tiger has a new friend

this shit fucked me up

This is why I hate the like, casual ha ha aren’t men awful jokes that people like to casually throw around.

Like, men are victims of the patriarchy too, and loneliness and isolation is what brings out the worst in people.

I’m not saying you have to be nice to or defend wretched men, but don’t treat them as wretched just because they are men. Treat them as wretched because they are wretched.

A departure from rigid, binary gender norms benefits all of us.

this is stupid but I genuinely worry that kids ARE being priced out of video games like. totk is heavily sanitized to maintain a particular rating that often works against itself but like, I struggle to imagine the kid who's approaching their parents like "one hundred dollars for a video game please" my biggest gaming triumph was in high school when my parents bought us an xbox 360 and one game. we got the wii as it was going out of style and played primarily gamecube games on it, and even back then to buy a new gamecube game or a DS game was a twenty dollar endeavour. what kind of slideshow does a ten year old have to present in order to convince their parents to drop a hundie on legend of zelda.

Like listen 1) do you think game devs are being paid proportionally to video game price hikes. Looking around at the state of games in the past couple years and all the unionization efforts, do you think that's accurate? Do you think game devs are getting residuals for video games they worked on while nintendo continues to collect 101 CAD for every copy of breath of the wild? and 2) whether or not I was spot on correct about every quoted price and can produce receipts from 2006 isn't the point. The point is that if I waited a year after a release I could buy a secondhand copy of most games but all switch physical copies are brand new and far lower in circulation than games that ONLY came in physical copy. Nintendo games don't go on sale. Kids generally aren't as adept at emulation if they understand how to do it at all, and teaching the parents to do so is not a valid strategy because there's a million reasons why a parent couldn't do so and even more situations where they just wouldn't even if they knew how.

Where's walmart's huge bin of old switch games? Where's the huge wealth of physical copies for indie games for countries where they can't rely on a digital download (and that's you too America!)? What WAGE is a child getting to save up money for a single hundred dollar video game on their own, because my point is that a lot of parents are going to outright reject a hundred dollar purchase in MAY and kids have no means to compensate for that themselves, even the ones who can expect decent Christmas and birthday dollars? Kids play shit like Fortnite and Genshin not because they have worse taste than us, but because those are the games they can afford to play! And it's death by a thousand cuts because 100 1$ purchases are easier to ask for than a hundred dollars outright for a brand new video game when most parents who aren't deep in the paint on gaming still assume that they can wait for a price drop.

Your moral ocd is lying to you and tumblr is lying to you. you do NOT have to reblog any post you dont want to and you dont need to justify it and youre not prejudiced against a certain marginalized group if you dont reblog an Upsetting Post about a Current Issue said group is facing

i needed this thank you

Green Collar Boy voices his opinion about getting his nails trimmed.

I swear to God he says “fuck you” in response to being called a good boy.

Good Lord! He does say “fuck you” where did my sweet innocent pup learn this phrase?!

that’s Snoopy

Have created a new novel-writing approach for myself that I am calling Very Gentle Writing. Very Gentle Writing is an approach for people who live nearly every waking second in self-castigation and actually need peaceful slowness to unleash their creativity. 

Very Gentle Writing does not set staggering word count goals and then feel bad about it. No! Very Gentle Writing for me sets an extremely low word count and then feels magnificently productive when the low bar is exceeded (which is easy…it’s a low bar, I mean really low). 

Very Gentle Writing is about saying hey yo maybe I just want to listen to a chill playlist for a while and feel one sentence spill out. Go me! 

Very Gentle Writing is kind of about realizing I have a really limited amount of time to write in between work, and adulting, and taking care of a thousand life responsibilities, and trying to heal&deal from trauma in 2020. So I want that writing time to be….just…..nice. 

Very Gentle Writing means I have a goal of enjoying every single time I sit down to write. Really. I use all the fun words first. 

Very Gentle Writing came to me as an idea when I started to think about how as someone actively trying to recover from a lot of lifelong trauma, the usual word harder!! Work harder!! mantras in the world of “people doing hard things” didn’t motivate me at all, they only hurt me. I truly need a voice saying work less hard, personally.
