Apparently the dude who runs the crematorium is just fundamentally confused about how advertising works. He actually thought that the way you made an ad was you found a picture that got people’s attention … and then also included information about your company. He was genuinely surprised and baffled when people thought there was any relationship between the (independently nonsensical) captioned image and his cremation business. There were two more ads in the series that are equally, just… so much…

“I was just trying to get people to stop for a second and see the picture, and then my company’s name. That was it,” Oliver King tells the Riverfront Times. “The two are not supposed to be related, except that’s my daughter and my company.”
For some inexplicable reason, not everyone understood that distinction. “I got people calling and complaining, like, ‘Are you going to kill her? Is she going to kill someone?’ ” says King. “I couldn’t believe that went somewhere in their minds that they thought that was what I was trying to say.”

on the one hand, i guess ads for cremation services must be a tricky thing to keep on theme without being too depressing/morbid/etc, so I can see how “just grab their attention with anything, doesn’t have to be related” would be an appealing advertising strategy.
on the other, i am fascinated by how someone who runs a crematorium “couldn’t believe” that people would associate their business with, uh, death.

is jake gyllenhaal gay??
why would you ask us, a narnia blog, this
happy pride month to this post specifically
DPC and DPL. Dead People’s Clothes and Dead People’s Leather. Their toys, their paintings of half naked, naked, screwing men. The statues. The leather. The sling. The posters. The … all of it. We’d literally Straighten homes. Depending. Some families knew and were fine. Or more ok. But pictures of other guys on phones was the least of it. I have… leather that’s been passed through three or four men who’ve died before getting to me. They’re the heirlooms now, passed down chosen families. Sometimes there were crews. We’d show up as soon as possible, as a unit. We’d hit the bedrooms first. Clear out closets, under beds, bedsides. We’d donate, throw out, take mementos. Pass on. Secret lives and secret, us only treasures. Then we’d leave. For some family’s you never talked about it. They never knew. It was better all around. I have vests, gloves. A belt. Arm bands. Paintings. T-shirts. Photos, undeveloped film that’d I’m still somewhat terrified to try to get developed (lol). We live on in the living rooms of others.

This is. A very important message for the younger generations of queers.
We still have so much father to go, but y'all. Don’t let our past be forgotten.
Transcription: So back in the late 80s and early 90s, when I was 20 and there was another friend dying of AIDS like every three weeks. Yeah, seriously those days were terrible. Young gay men now will just never know what it was like. But when a friend would die we would ALL know exactly what to do. We’d get to their houses as fast as possible (most of us already had a key) and we would know EXACTLY where the smut was, we would know EXACTLY where the stuff they didn’t want their family to find. We would get it and we would destroy it. OR we would keep it for ourselves if it was cool, or we would donate it to…something. I dunno. It’s kind of a messed up memory, but uh, back then we all just had to have each other’s backs and uuh, yeah. This video just reminded me of that.
Don't use NEDA's eating disorder helpline
I am about ready to hunt somebody for sport.
[Image Description: Screenshot of a headline from a Vice article: "Eating Disorder Helpline Fires Staff, Transitions to Chatbot After Unionization"
Subtitle: "Eating Disorder Helpline Fires Staff, Transitions to Chatbot After Unionization"
By Chloe Xiang
End Image Description]
NEDA, the largest nonprofit organization dedicated to eating disorders, has decided that instead of allowing their staff to unionize, they will try and run their crucial hotline with fucking chatbots. Anyway death to all neural network chat AIs, and death to ratfuck bosses who will do anything to cut costs no matter who it hurts, this decision will literally kill people.
Other, non-AI hotlines you can call instead:
Hopeline Network (general crisis hotline): 1-800-442-4673
Nantional Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders: 1-630-577-1330
Overeaters Anonymous: 1-505-891-2664
Multi-Service Eating Disorders Association: 1-617-558-1881
Update on this story 5 days later:
The chatbot started spitting out standard-issue weight loss advice…which. yeah

Wizard Osha Busted a buddy of mine for leaving adventurers in the pit for too long once. They took away his Curse permit.
Wizard OSHA only has governing power over those who've read their regulations! He knew well what was required of him, though he consciously ignored the time limit!
Oh yeah no that "Wizard OSHA only holds power over those that read their rules" thing is a myth that grew out of the Sovereign Sorcerer movement, WOSHA has full authority over any non-exempt magicians, spellcasters and conjurers under US jurisdiction.
I. . . have not been informed of this. If you'll escuse me, I'll be adding handrails to my tower for the next couple weeks.
We're in a process of consensus-manufacture towards labelling gender deviants as dangerous sexual predators, it is genocidal, and if you're too ignorant to get that or more concerned about scoring points against people who annoy you on a blog, you are either my enemy or so stupid it makes no difference
Youre telling me the bartender is a mouse? Shes a girl whos a mouse? *chuckles warmly* That's pretty out there. I'm too old for that kind of thing, but you have fun with that. *to myself after you walk away, but with no trace of spite in my voice* A bartender who's a mouse... what will they think of next?
since the cowboy and the samurai were both dying out in the 1800s i want an action adventure historically wildly inaccurate comic about the last cowboy and the last samurai teaming up BUT one of them is gay and the other doesn’t understand what being gay is and there are multiple comedic mishaps resulting from this
after lots of frantic googling of “were samurais gay” “were cowboys gay” “how did gay samurais work” “did gay cowboys love each other” ad nauseam i have decided that it’s actually funnier if both the cowboy AND the samurai are gay but not for each other and also they both have their very culturally specific understandings of gay social politics so both of them still are equally like “dude why are you like this” to each other
samurai, trying to comfort the cowboy who just got dumped over pony express: when my lover left me for another man, i killed both him and his new lover, and proved to all in shudo that it is what happens when you leave me for another, and i felt much lighter. would doing that also help you?
cowboy, absolutely reeking of the flask, who stopped howling purely out of confusion to try and figure out if the samurai was being serious: dude what the fuck is wrong with you
the depictions of homosexual identity at the time are painstakingly accurate and very clearly heavily researched, and this is purposefully in direct contrast to how absolutely absurd and crazy the entire rest of the premise of the comic is
Hey yall, please help my native queer family make rent this month. We're incredibly short from falling behind on rent & bills last month when my gf was on medical leave and didn't get as much pay from the state as we planned.
Please help us pay rent by June 7th so we don't fall behind on other bills.
cahapp: $CEOofAntifa
PayPl: click here
Veno: CEOofAntifa
$205/886
Unless we can get rent paid this first week of June we'll probably end up in the same position for july again.
Pleeeeeeease help us not do that. We have $159 to our name right now. We have bills we're behind on from not being able to pay anything cuz we needed the money for May rent (which was paid on the 26th) and now need the money leftover for June rent.
We only have $82 on our EBT card. We still need to pay for gas and toothpaste and soap and to do laundry and other bills. Every single thing we pay for cuts into rent money and it's due in 2 days and other things will start getting shut off soon after 😅
If we don't pay this soon we won't have money to spend on even FOOD when we run out of EBT.
So please help, even if it's just a reblog
on one hand want (have been try for months !!) write list of how own autism affect me as someone high support need / higher autism level (do not know current autism level sorry this temporary placeholder), from autism criteria to iADLs bADLs because
- “high support need” thrown around a lot and don’t think people who never met HSN truly know just how high is high. common that “skill that easy for me never had to think about it take for granted, don’t realize there people who struggle with it” (which trap i also fall into)
- also help other HSN put word into experience because many of us borrow words from eachother because communication hard and see other people same struggle help feel less alone
but also don’t want because
- need a lot of self awareness which i struggle but will be look at a lot of thing wrote over the years to maybe piece thing together (thankfully have them or else not able do this) but still many thing missing don’t know how say
- communication hard this been months in work (because also helpful for doctors) and so struggle many thing not know how say
- really private info private medical info ??
People saying that you're a furry because you have a character, like taking that to its extreme you can say shit like Mario is Chris Pratt's fursona
Don't say that, they'll just agree, they're crazy
Speaking as someone who has been mentally ill and lonely for most of my teenage and adult life, incels are not just mentally ill and lonely. Incels subscribe to a politics of sexual entitlement and resentment towards women specifically because they feel they have not received the patriarchal favors they believe they're entitled to, and why they hurt and kill women who don't provide it to them. It's literally just "mass shooters are just mentally ill" bullshit done to another violent group of people ignoring the role fascist ideology and gender and sexual politics plays in producing them.
Also their ideology has nothing to do with not getting laid like be fucking serious. If getting laid was enough to cure men of misogyny it would literally not exist. No amount of sex or intimacy would ever help one of these freaks because it will never match up with what they think they deserve.
anyways, any time is the best time to donate to the black trans travel fund, an organization dedicated to assisting black trans women in need and provides more than just travel funding. donations are tax deductible if that helps
