every time theres a new bad tv show or movie people act like its the end of the world you guys need to learn about the not watching shit method i’ve been successfully employing the not watching shit method for years

This tag deserves to be seen

“The average US president has been charged with 1.54 felonies” factoid isn’t true. The average US President has been charged with 0 felonies. Donald trump, who has been charged with 71, is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted

Felonies Donld is now up to 79 felonies, for a statistical average of 1.71 felonies per president

Update:

With 91 felonies, felonies Donld has now broken the 2 felonies per president average average (2.02 felonies per president)

I’ve been waiting for this post since I read the NYT headline this morning!

‘Autistics always love talking to other autistics, it’s always effortless for autistics to communicate with eachother’ stop!

telling!

lies!

Autistics are, basically, min-maxed relative to allistics. That means we do often get along with eachother EXTREMELY well and quickly, like, to an extent that wouldn’t make sense to allistics- but it ALSO means that when we don’t get along, that’s fucking it. We’re magnets. We either attract or repel, and fucking Nothing will change how we react to eachother after that

Two incompatible autistics are like two male betta fish in a teacup. Peace Was Never An Option

Any autist saying ‘that’s not true’ 100% guarantee hasn’t spent enough time with a variety of other autistics lmao

… and here is a gift for all of us.

So I can find this again! Great list!

Don’t lose this post

Where you can donate to help Maui, Hawaii

this article has places listed that you can donate to, but i’ll also put direct links to some of these places in this post:

Maui United Way

Maui Strong Fund

Maui Food Bank

Maui Humane Society

my family is based in Oahu, but i consider all the islands my home even though i physically haven’t stepped foot on them before. seeing all the homes and history and memories being lost in this hurts.

if you are unable to donate, don’t feel guilty—doing things like spreading the word and making people aware of the situation helps as well. thank you for whatever you can do! mahalo

UPDATE: removed Maui Mutual Aid Fund for now because upon further research using the charity checking sites provided by this gov site, it doesn’t appear in results unlike the others listed. so i advise caution for now if you decide to donate there! they may still be legitimate, but i want to exercise caution.

sexualizing your fav characters? Nah mate you got me wrong, I’m asexualizing them, that one’s demi now

So I thought this was commonly known internet navigation (but apparently it might just be those of us who have been using the internet since the 90's who still know it). Or so it seems based on... a grumpy comment I got.

When you see an arrow like this:

It means you click it to expand out a hidden section.

It's an accordion section/menu! It's useful in web design to hide information that may be overwhelming under specific headers so people can only see what they need.

Here I'm using it for people who need the content warnings to be able to check, but for those who don't need them and don't want to be spoiled to just move right past without accidentally reading anything.

It's still the user's responsibility to click the arrow and read things as they need! But it is all warned. (And, yes, the all encompassing issues are already a tag on the fic, I'm just providing additonal warnings per chapter.)

Ah, sorry yes! For those who want the html, it's the details and summary tags!

uh so i never do this but maui is quite literally on fire and there isn't nearly enough care or consideration for. you know. Native Hawaiians who live here being displaced and the land (and cultural relevance) that's being eaten up by the fire. so if ya'll wanna help, here's some links:

maui food bank: https://mauifoodbank.org/

maui humane society: https://www.mauihumanesociety.org/

center for native hawaiian advancement: https://www.memberplanet.com/campaign/cnhamembers/kakoomaui

hawai'i red cross: https://www.redcross.org/local/hawaii/ways-to-donate.html

please reblog and spread the word if you can't donate.

Just learning about this (!), and reblogging for visibility.

Also sending worried love to all my friends and all the people I don't know in Maui.

I saw the jokes but I didn't see anyone actually do it, so here you go.

Hopefully this uploads, but here’s my as much of my hi res concept art of vash from the Orange panel at Otakon as I can upload in one go

So a few notes here from the staff:

Was at the Trigun panel today and we got some REALLY cool lore tidbits for the plants in stampede. First, the plants are made by splicing human dna with that of these biblically accurate™️ looking mummy’s huma s discovered prior to Earths society going down the drain:

We also got some great design documents that show the team trying to work out how non independent plants mature and function, including a note from the director stating that plants are genderless

reblog if you fully and intentionally are referring to aspec people as well when you use the word queer to refer to the community

my partner once said, "if you have to explain your sexuality to straight people, you're probably queer"

saw a post a while back like "cis girls and boys should be able to get bottom surgery if they want it" so now im curious. in a perfect world, would you want bottom surgery

if u reblog i kiss u mwah

Something about dragons and their status as formidable wildlife, legendary opponents and prized hunting trophies who's territory shrinks as humans expand theirs. Featuring front and foremost the wizard of diplomacy who mentioned it in the first place.

David Slack warning against AMPTP trying to turn the unions against each other, and stating the facts.

Monsters.

I’m waiting for an arborist to hop on here and confirm that this is bad for those kind of trees or some shit, too.

I am a botanist and also worked as a gardener for two years, and I can weigh in on this!

Yes, as is obvious, those trees are fucked, in multiple ways. This may be a bit of a long post, but I hope I will explain all the ways these trees are fucked in a clear manner, and even teach about some botany in the process.

Uncanny Vash enthusiasts I hope you're aware that Trimax Wolfwood canonically had several cosmic horror nervous breakdowns over our favorite baby-girl-creature-man

like...

woowoo was going t h r o u g h it he literally was so terrified he couldn't move at one point

Haha yeaaaaah, Trimax literally is just 16 volumes of Wolfwood (and others) having existential, horrified breakdowns over the eldritch, biblically-accurate Babygirl.  This is canon.

FYI, for anyone who wants to donate!
