A trove of 24 bronze statues was just discovered in a network of baths built by the Etruscans in Tuscany, dating back 2300 years. They were preserved by mud and boiling water from the hot springs in the baths.
This site has been going around Twitter trans accounts quite a bit lately, so just pointing out here too that it'll do fuck all, they're exploiting trans people at a time when hrt is particularly hard to access and please don't give them your money
fuckin exploitative bullshit marketed in the worst way imaginable
literally selling laxatives as weight loss supplements
No actually, this needs to be in the body of the post.
This isn't someone looking to make a quick buck off the backs of desperate trans women.
This is someone who is gathering a hit list. This person may use your info for active swatting, but not just that, this product will kill you.
This product is outright dangerous. This dose of ashwagandha is ASTRONOMICAL. It's anxiolytic - meaning that it causes agitation and anxiety - and if you take this dose every day you'll be developing serotonin syndrome within 4-6 weeks, and an ER trip/death within 8. And if you're on medications that interact (SSRIs, antipsychotics, most kinds of opiates) or alcohol, this risk is magnified.
This person wants to KILL YOU.
Also the photo they're using for the founder is AI generated. The easiest tell is the neck tattoo seemingly merging with the collar of the shirt, and none of the locs actually having an end that connects them to the scalp.
There's a terf in the comments screeding about how this totally isn't a rightwing psyop and it's asian fetishizing trans ppl obsessed with anime doing this, so here's some irrefutable proof that it is, in fact, a right-wing dox honeypot!
If you go to any post by TheQueerQuirk on Twitter and replace the username part of the url with transaretr8ors it will redirect you to the same tweet with the new username, indicating that TheQueerQuirk's old username WAS in fact transaretr8ors. You can test this yourself.
They're also stealing images from r/transtimelines for fake reviews.
Their domain name was registered on June 2 and the address marked is a common scam address (seemingly of the Icelandic Phallological Museum).
THIS IS A HONEYPOT. THEY'RE COLLECTING ADDRESSES. YOU COULD BE SWATTED, HAVE YOUR IDENTITY STOLEN, OR AT THE VERY BEST RECEIVE A PRODUCT THAT WILL CAUSE SEROTONIN SYNDROME.
SPREAD.
thinking again about erda. what a fuckin position to be in
i know ive said this before but what if you were the queen of peace & only did your best to please but it wasnt any use bc somebodys got to lose
Honestly, I have a lot of sympathy for Erda. Dumping the infant Primarchs into the Warp was most likely the best out of a bad situation, imo

Writing in General (For those who don’t want to die like Stormtroopers)
- SlickWrite: Completely free; online. Checks grammar, punctuation, flow, and writing style according to different settings (including fiction writing).
- ProWritingAid: [RECOMMENDED] One of the most thorough online proofreader I’ve ever used. Although when using a free account gives extremely thorough feedback, it gives +20 different in-depth reports for only the first 500 words for free. However, you can earn a premium account license (for a year or for life) if you get 10 or 20 new users signing up for free; (if you wouldn’t mind doing so using the link above and help me earn mine, please). The settings allow you to check your writing according to your needs, from general to formal to creative. It has a bonus that you can check depending on the genre you’re writing. For example, in creative, you can choose romance or sci-fiction (there are 14 sub-genre in total). And they just add a new feature, which just like google docs, you can share a document, and people can view, comment or edit.
- LanguageTool: [RECOMMENDED] Another excellent proofreader. It also has a word limit in free accounts, but if you use the add-on for Google Docs, it counts each page as a new document, so hitting the limit is nearly impossible. It helps you to rewrite a sentence, even if it doesn’t raise any flags; it’s very useful for when your sentence is grammatically correct, but it doesn’t feel quite right.
- Grammarly, Hemingway Editor: No so great, but they do the basic job.
I can feel The dryness of those markers in my bones
Fun fact those dry markers were supposed to have water put into them to make them work. You take off the bottom thing and pour water in and bam, instant marker success. Only learned about this four years after I’d lost my set 🙃
WHAT
Hey. Reblog to save some poor kid lots of grief.
Fucking what?!
Every ‘90s child on Tumblr raises their head in outrage.
I just stood up so fast and snatched mine out of my closet brb going to the sink
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
WHAT
I STILL HAVE MY SET AND EVERYTHING
A GAME CHANGER
Yup!!

i know that bandcamp's whole deal is that they are but a humble storefront, which cannot be expected to have Features of any kind, but also. do you know what i would give to be able to make playlists directly in bandcamp. and share them. and if someone sent me a playlist that fucking ruled i could just buy all the songs on it and have them forever. do they understand how bad it sucks that i cannot do this.
how the fuck was i unaware of this
i made a playlist just to test it and it seems to work great?? what the heck, send me fanmixes
Happy Holidays; Have a quick Christmas Curze chibi. :))
New art coming soon.
Madara ✘ Tuned in Freestyle
(happy birthday old man)
This is great. Song absolutely slaps and fits him and his puissant swagger perfectly.
The original plan was just to draw his usual six paths... ended up redesigning him 💀 See how sketchy it is? Yes I was struggling :D
we need more of his forehead
Madara + susanoo 🤔
Man he looks like an ancient god now... Did this in 2ish hours so it's very messy and incomplete and I suddenly forgot how to draw in the process- but I was curious on how he'll look like 👁️👁️ (and ofc, as usual I'm not gonna fully cover his body zzzzzz)
it's madara's birthday
we're barely exiting new moon (0,7%) as well as we are now just after yule, where i am night only a minute shorter than the longest night fo the year.
it's all darkness reigning with a sliver of light on the horizon on this day huh i wonder if this light will be enough
also have a lovely holidaytime
I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.
I would enjoy some good luck from the potato.
Given the current trash fire going on at work, reblogging the Golden spud
it’s been years since i’ve first seen this comic and i still think it has one of the best punchline delivers of anything i’ve ever seen
eternal classic
Nostraman!Corvus and Lycaeusan!Konrad. Thoughts?
i think nostraman corvus would be a criminal in nostramo tbh i don't think he'd develop konrad's extremely rigid moral compass... i think probably he'd be like a robin hood type thief that gives to the poor or like a criminal for justice but i'm also kinda compelled by nostraman corvus being a silent assassin for the mob until he develops a conscience due to tragic stuff and starts killing his bosses
meanwhile i think lycaeusan konrad would either be a cop or would try to kill the emperor. zero inbetween
LOL, I think that Nostroman!Corvus would truly become the Night Haunter if he landed on Nostramo. Evidenced by how he popped off the head of a Lycaeusian guard immediately after leaving his pod and presented said head to the person who found him as a present (to be fair though, said guard was threatening the latter person) and how he then basically gave the freshly-decapitated head to said person and how he handed his freshly liberated planet to oppressors that were only just a shade different from those he had just overthrew, I think that Crovus has an intrinsically weak moral compass. As such, combined with the high probability that he would also grow up entirely alone just like his older brother did and the huge advantage his shadow-walking abilities gives him on a dark-shrouded planet like Nostramo is, he would likely grow into a huge monster, one somehow likely worse than the canon Night Haunter was.
By contrast, on the assumption that he lands where Corax did and gets discovered by the same group of political prisoners, Konrad would grow into the paragon of nobility and justice that he was meant to be. Of course, he would try to kill the Emperor and probably be deleted in turn
Hello please reblog this if you’re okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better
Kid Pix just became pubic domain, so the remade (but pretty much exactly the same) version is now available here. It's uh, wild, highly recommend checking it out not only for the wonderful nostalgia but you can legit make some incredible looking stuff!
oh my god. oh my god
this is a year old but kidpix is something i grew up with and played with a LOT. there are weirdo artists out there who could do some cool stuff with these unconventional tools. go wild!
Seeing more and more blogs without a [username].tumblr.com site which means you can only view their blogs in tumblr.com/[username] mode, and I realized just the other day that nowadays you have to manually go to your blog settings and toggle the "enable custom theme" switch to have a browser site activated.
I REALLY recommend activating this! Especially if you're an artist or if you have a themed blog, like if you reblog fanart for a specific fandom or ship. First and foremostly you can change the whole theme if you want to, you can really just go wild with building your personal aesthetic for your page.
But what I think is even more important, is that you NEED to "enable custom theme" to enable access to your archive! The link [username].tumblr.com/archive doesn't work if you don't have this enabled!
If you post art or archive fanart or fandom content of any kind, letting people access your archive makes it so much easier for people (and yourself) to find older art on your blog or to look for something you drew a while ago that they remember loving and want to look at again.
We talk lots about how on Tumblr old art gets to circulate, and the archive is part of how that works. It's a really useful tool in finding good content that isn't brand new. And especially if you are good at tagging, it's very easy to filter the archive to find ship content or meta or fics, whatever you want to find.
