Well, this would be interesting...

Like to charge, reblog to cast

I love how like pretty much every radfem blog has a post like this

FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm ET.

If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.

Yes, I'm doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.

Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I'm bad at tags.

This is also a notice to folks who are sensitive to loud or sudden noises, are in a situation where such a noise would not be good at that date and time (like say you work at a library), or just need to know in advance that this alert is not the result of an actual emergency.

Note that if you live outside of the Eastern US Time Zone, the time will be earlier than 2:20 PM for you. You can check what time the alert will be for you by going here.

Also, if you did not check the link, the alert may be moved to October 11th, 2023 if it cannot be done on the 4th.

I recommend you set your own reminder on your phone closer to the date and time of the test so you don’t forget about this.

w. wait fuck. this is the first time I've heard this. hold on I need to sit down. I need a second. this shatters my worldview just a little bit h. hold on

this is so upsetting, PLEASE rb to spread awareness

PLEASE, PLEASE REBLOG THIS, WHETHER YOURE JEWISH OR NOT.

THIS IS A SUPER IMPORTANT PART OF OUR HISTORY, DONT LET IT GET DESTROYED.

perhaps help take steps to stop them now from future attempts...

Y’all in the American SW and west Mexico better check the national hurricane center and your weather for this weekend and next week.

Hurricane Hilary is about to make landfall and that whole desert area is supposed to get a years worth of rain or more. Death Valley is supposed to get twice the annual rainfall. Severe winds, massive flooding, and landslides are all strong possibilities.

This is gonna get ugly. Please spread the word. This is a majorly anomalous event and people may be unaware of the threat headed their way.

Flash floods are definitely gonna kill people, so here’s your regularly scheduled PSA:

Desert soil does not absorb a significant amount of water. It reaches maximum saturation very very quickly, and all the rest of the water rushes downhill. Even if you can’t tell that the ground is not perfectly flat, the water can. And it will move. Quickly. No, faster than that. Nope, still faster. If you try to cross moving floodwater, you will get swept downstream and probably die.

Do not try to wade in/cross flood water that is any deeper than the thickness of the sole of an average athletic shoe, no I am not kidding, the water will get deeper literally while you’re standing in it.

This goes for cars, too. I’ve seen entire vehicles getting swept downstream in flash floods because the driver thought they could cross the “puddle” and Found Out.

Stay safe, y’all.

also if you're going into water intentionally (cleanup, obviously as things RECEDE), PROTECT YOUR EYES. Flood water is NASTY AS HELL and you will be getting a tetanus booster right off the bat if you end up in the ER for any reason.

Part of climate change is that Southern California is starting to get the summer monsoons that used to only happen in Arizona and Nevada. Los Angeles was not a desert until the last 15 years — it was a Mediterranean climate. Summer monsoons = desert.

Also of note:

If you’re entering receding waters for cleanup, WEAR RUBBER WADERS!!!

Rattlesnakes can swim and will get in the water to get out of the heat. Rattlesnakes also rather notoriously are chill as fuck until you scare them. And imagine how terrifying the floods and noise of a hurricane must be to a rattlesnake.

Rattlers don’t “want to hurt you.” But they will defend themselves if they think they need to, and they’re going to think they need to. So protect yourself and them, and wear gear they can’t bite. Should you spot a rattler before it attempts to scare you off, just back away slowly and come back later. If you can’t back away, try to give it a wide berth, or angle your approach so you appear to be heading away rather than coming head on.

Did you guys know the “Sickos” artist made a Sicko thats a WGA screenwriter on strike (said comic artist is a The Onion satirist comic artist and his name is Stan Kelly)

And honestly? What a mood. Haha YES indeed.

"I think it helps that you don't know me😂"

I think the reason why some hozier fans are so annoying is bc they wanna fandomize this man and his music so bad.

They want him to be a "funky bog man" and put him into cottage core aesthetics and the minute they listen to his songs they wanna try and find one that fits their favorite good omens/hannibal/ofmd/(insert any other boring white mlm show here) ship.

They don't wanna actually sit there and listen to his music. They don't wanna sit there and analyze and think about it. They don't wanna think about hozier as a person outside of nature bullshit.

They don't wanna sit there and admit that hozier is just some guy that loves blues/gospel/ and other music made by Black people that just sings about politics and love and being horny and random things he's read bc to them that's boring and not as interesting as "mysterious fae man" or whatever the fuck.

spotifyuk: @hozier shares one of his favourite memories while making his recent album Unreal Unearth 💕

Good omens 3 but like Hozier is playing Jesus

my fyp is on point

So did the trailer thingy for Percy Jackson magically solve the writers' strike or something? What did I miss for everyone seemingly forgetting/deciding to ignore that now?

I dont remember why I made hmmboob.png but I’m thankful for it every single day

So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.

Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!

Give credit to the 30-year-old who worked on this for free and offers this service for free!

WHAT?!

I study graphic design and my tutor recommended and used this in his classes at art college last year, it’s so good it has SO many features for free, I really recommend it, even if you’re just trying to learn the basics of PS, such a wonderful thing <3

Yall gotta stop equating all religion with Christianity, specifically with white evangelical Christianity. Like. Ok.

"I had a bad time at fundie church 3000 so anyone who finds comfort in religion is a sheep. Christianity is the only religion, btw. None of those Heathen Religions I only half learned about count"

Yes we need more chaste twee baby gay romances like heartstopper and yes we also need more shows where men fuck raw to express their love for one another like Élite and yes we need more toxic gays having hate sex like Interview with the Vampire and yes we need more incidental gay characters like the dads in cartoons like Owl House.

It's not a competition! It's a hoard and I'm like a gay little Smaug.

the normalization of porn in mainstream media is a weird take to have

Normalization of gay desire and yes, even gay sex, is paramount to gay liberation actually.
