Get Yucky, Gayboy

disclaiming that I'm not a furry not because I'm ashamed to be seen as a furry but because I don't want to steal furry valor

just saw two 12 year olds walk by, one holding a watermelon bong and the other holding a camp stove. i fucking love seattle

smelling the most rank weed i have ever smelt rn. just some bad bad shit.

they walked by me. cast me suspicious looks. and then set up very obviously in some bushes. love that these middle schoolers think i’m not a narc

i can see them fucking taking rips this is killing me. should i go ask for a hit

they’re fucking smoking playdoh over there

asked about it and one of them said “we’ve been getting real innovate recently” the kids are fucking alright

asked about the camp stove and one of them said “i don’t even know i am so fucked up”

i was genuinely publicly fucking crying in this park before those kids showed up. now i’ll be fucking over the moon for the rest of the night. they’re like angels. little stoner engineer angels.

nothing could have prepared me for the watermelon bong NOT being a bong that was watermelon themed

Should we not be concerned about kids doing drugs?

Call me a square all you want but at that age couldn’t it harm their development?

I haven't rly seen anyone posting about this yet but I've started seeing posts that aren't from people I follow, rather, posts that people I follow have liked. And that can be annoying, Tumblr trying to be Twitter, etc. But also! I'm seeing shit that's way too fucking personal! Users liking vent posts from their friends' secret sideblogs or liking posts about their own mental health conditions and current struggles with them such to the point I can reasonably guess exactly how they're vulnerable right this moment. So PSA: private your Likes if you engage with literally anything that isn't targeted at a public audience like art or humor.

Per Tumblr's own FAQ:

To toggle sharing your likes and following on and off:

On the web, visit your blog settings and look for "Share posts you like" or "Share the Tumblrs you're following".

In the apps, tap the account icon (the little human) while viewing your blog, then tap "Likes" or "Following" and "Change", or, tap the gear icon and select "Pages".

sex in the shower? no. slip and bust my ass. break my dick. she slippin too. she knock her head on the tile she passed out. bleedin. i cant walk cause my jimmy snapped. thought this was gonna be sexy and we both end up half dead.

this is my favorite post of all times every single time I slip on anything I picture this post it literally changed my life there’s no other definition to it

don't be afraid to shoot your shot. The worst they could do is say no, then torture you forever in their secret immortality dungeon 2 miles beneath the surface of the earth, no escape from the secret immortality dungeon, how does air even get into the secret immortality dungeon. Torture you with weapons and chemicals and whatnot. That's the absolute worst they could do

i just took my beautiful daughter Clairitin out to dinner and the contemptuous SJW’s at the taco bell have slipped testosterone in with her Crunchwrap Supreme

My daughter Clairitin's crunchwrap supreme combo meal was LITERALLY just laced with hormone replacement therapy by duplicitous Taco Bell skanks and youre calling this satire. Okay.

yoshi voice: yoshi

what was i made for?

“ophelia” by john everett millais but it’s barbie and for the sake of this concept let’s pretend that there is in fact water in barbieland

her pronouns are HE/HIM

"bro what strain is this it's getting me so joyful and entertained". dude we are smoking straight up toys

haven’t seen Barbie (crying screaming peeing myself agony death) but keep hearing people say it’s too white feminist like. Have you all not gotten the read on greta gerwig yet. Extremely unchallenging bland white feminism is the only thing she does

really what can you expect from a director whose two solo directed works both had the central thesis of "sometimes, there are women. these are their stories" and all said women are straight and white.

honestly I've been thinking from the beginning of the ad campaigns that anything with overt political messaging would be less revolutionary than if the film was literally just Barbie Barbying around getting fuckall done for 90 minutes

Okay I have now seen it. Turns out everyone that said this is a baby that doesn’t understand anything about gender politics intersectional or not. My apologies to greta gerwig you actually really did something this time

I personally think I have found the best way to consume music and that is to find the bands discography (as of the last decently seeded one) and listen to it until I've decided I'm done. Straight listens of albums are necessary for the first pass, but albums don't have to be listened to in order.

Most importantly it is the same band. No bullshit sp*tify recommended by your likes mix in. This way you can really notice the differences, similarities, strong points and drop offs. We're playing the close comparison game here. Side projects and splits are allowed, but work best as a later stage addition.

Anyone else do this? I want to know what your band has been. Tell me. I don't mean like, your favorite band you always listen to. Cake isn't really my favorite band. For the last month, barring public places and work, Cake has been the only band to exist to me.

I'd love to do this with Rush, but Rush seems to really do something to people that I don't think I'm in the place in my life for.

I'm assuming it goes without saying that Wikipedia is necessary. It's essential to know if the guitarist was different or if the lyricist got divorced. I mean, you'll probably know with both of those, but not for certain.

they actually didn’t cast lin-manuel miranda for the house psych ward episodes they just found him there

Instead of "live laugh love" or "home is where the heart is" my (wonderful, progressive, very accepting) dad put up the racism sign in the foyer

whats the racism sign?

The racism sign, as I like to call it, is from an art piece I made halfway through my first semester of art school:

It reads "any attempted theft will be reported to the police" in the 15 most commonly spoken languages by immigrants here other than English or other western european languages (in descending order).

This sign was only half of the art piece, the other half was the most stereotypically Icelandic painting I could think of:

When the piece was shown the painting and the sign were hung on opposite sides of the room, making the sign more of an afterthought for those who don't speak any of the languages written on the sign. Standing out just enough for them to notice it and maybe wonder what it said, but ultimately not giving it a second thought for the most part.

I wanted to highlight one of the most common ways racism and xenophobia present themselves here as well as the comfort of ignorance. The sign doesn't cater to you, you ignore it it, and you don't care what it might say. You don't have to think about it because it doesn't affect you.

For those who can read the sign though, or bother to translate it, this is just yet another reminder of people's ignorance and double standards. My inspiration for this piece came from my old workplace, where they had this sign hanging on one of the doors:

The main things that stood out about this to me were that

People love saying that we're not racist/xenophobic here even though we very much are. The problem is just that so many people don't take the time to look when it doesn't directly affect them. I was very happy with my piece because people actually came up to me and asked what the sign said because they wanted to know, it started a conversation and made those previously unaware of this issue more aware. I wonder if these sorts of signs would be anywhere near as commonplace as they are if more people looked at them critically and asked "why is this the thing we bother translating?"

Anyway, all that aside I love my dad and I like the way this art piece turned out but also I am slightly worried about giving people the wrong idea when this is the first thing they see when they enter our home 💀

Well if you want my permission to show it then you have it :))

with great regret i must inform you that there is a typo in the Latvian translation, so it actually says “any attempted theft will be reported to poland”

I found out while working on this that it is extremely difficult to get 15 fully accurate translations into languages you don't speak in the span of a week but this is killing me 💀

this is among one of the funniest ask i have ever seen someone get sorry

it's so wild when people complain about religious inclusion like "oh so you think THEY should get special privileges/accommodations to do x, y, or z??"

and the things they're talking about are like. exceptions to rules or norms that in themselves shouldn't exist. yes Richard, we actually should have diverse meal options at work events to accommodate people with different diets. yes, people should be allowed to take time off to be with their family during whatever holidays or life events they so choose. yes, people should be able to wear clothing that makes them comfortable. nobody should be happy about these restrictions existing. stop bitching about the singular jewish or muslim person in your workplace and realize that everyone deserves better.

I had an interesting experience recently, which I feel like culturally Christian people might benefit from hearing about. I've been recently in the process of helping to plan an event. Many attendees at this event keep kosher. Since kashrut is a very specialized dietary restriction, which I know not all venues can accommodate, my first question to all of the potential venues I've looked into has been "do you allow outside kosher catering vendors, or otherwise have some way to allow for kosher catering?"

One of the venues I reached out to replied that they were "capable of providing for our dietary needs." Now, since I'd asked about several possible catering options, and since they'd only replied generally and without actually specifying which they were saying they could do, I was a bit suspicious. So I followed up, and asked what exactly they meant by that: did they allow outside caterers in general? or did they have a specific kosher catering partner? or could they actually cater kosher food themselves? what?

Their answer was – and I swear I'm not making this up – that they didn't allow any outside caterers, and couldn't cater any food which was actually kosher, but that they could provide us with a menu that included "knishes" and "potato, pancakes" [sic], and so hey, that was basically the same as providing for our dietary needs, wasn't it?

Now here's the thing:

The dietary restriction shared by the most people at this event is keeping kosher, but one of the attendees, who doesn't keep kosher, has a severe peanut allergy. If we had done what we were planning to do and simply specified "peanut free", and if the venue had decided, like they were apparently willing to do for the kosher food, "well ok, it's not actually peanut free, but it's mostly peanut free, and that's basically the same thing"? They could have literally killed her. And if I hadn't specifically asked, in detail, about kosher catering first, I might never have known about how lax they were about providing for dietary restrictions in general.

Now could we have explained the nuances of kosher restrictions to this venue and tried again? Yes, possibly. But their unwillingness to even try on the first pass made it abundantly clear that they were not a safe venue to work with on allergy grounds. We crossed the venue off our list immediately, and I reached out to other people in the area who I knew might be planning similar events in the future, and warned them to never use this venue, either.

Accommodations like this are instances of the curb cut effect. If you don't personally have a diet or a family obligation or clothing needs that need accommodating, it's easy to get annoyed at the people you see who are loudest about asking for those accommodations. But having those options available helps everyone, and the fact that some workplaces and and businesses and event vendors refuse to accommodate these needs should be a red flag to everyone.

Maybe you don't care about kosher or hallal food. Maybe you've never had reason to take off work at an unusual time of year, and maybe you've never wanted or needed to wear anything unusual. But today it's your Jewish or Muslim coworker, and tomorrow it could be you or someone you care about – with a surprise medical diagnosis that limits your diet, or with a sudden family emergency at an inconvenient time of year, or with a sensory problem you've struggled with your entire life but can no longer mask, or who knows what else. We all deserve better, and the people who are openly saying so are not your enemies.
