Disney is going to stop selling DVDs and Blu-rays in Australia and to think of what this means for accessibility, residuals, quality, public libraries here etc and the precedent this will set for other studios and distributors around the world oh it's never been more over

...Not. Good.

Building a fantasy world is like being the world's most specific historian.

I'm glad we're all in the same boat on this one.

As suggested it's also like being the most specific biologist, chemist, and geologist.

I want you all to know that I read every single tag and reply yall drop in the notes and I love you fellow worldbuilders.

I'm sorry, but this tag fucks supremely.

le mythe, la légende, j’ai nommé: pusheen, dictateur russe (fameux). 

i am amazed to see that despite being in my native language this retelling of the story behind me and my friends’ “famous russian dictator pusheen” private joke got popular

Let’s not overlook how it always seems to be black women targeted either.

speaking of professional dx, i think it's important to recognize that professionally dx'd disabled people are at a severe legal disadvantage compared to disabled people who purely self-id; one of the reasons i'm so intensely pro-self-dx and actively advocate for people to self-dx over professional dxing is because professional diagnosis comes with a cavalcade of systemic oppression and violence from the state, no matter what country you're in.

some things that professional diagnosis of a disability might do, depending on what disability and which country you live in:

obviously, there's plenty of resources that are artificially gatekept behind professional diagnosis, like mobility aids that are only affordable through insurance, prescription medication, testing like blood tests and MRIs, AAC devices, and more. but i think it's important to remember that those of us who need these things aren't necessarily privileged by our professional diagnoses, insomuch as we're forced into a situation where we have to subject ourselves to endless state violence via professional diagnosis in order to have access to those necessary resources.

i think it's particularly important for those of us professionally diagnosed to remember that. there's a tendency in some circles to treat professional diagnosis like it makes us better or more "legitimately disabled" than self-id disabled folks; this isn't true and it's important to remember that we shouldn't feel the need to define ourselves by a thing that actively harms us. plus, just because someone doesn't have a professional diagnosis doesn't mean they don't need the resources that are kept behind it; often it means they can't afford to weather the state violence that comes with the dx, and so instead they have to suffer without medication or aids or testing and have a significantly worse and shorter life because of this. just because they have legal privilege over you doesn't mean they necessarily have social privilege over you or quality-of-life privilege.

My doctor and I had a discussion and actively decided to keep 'autism' off of my medical record, because while I do get along with my daughter's father -- we're really good friends still, I'm very lucky -- at the time we both recognized that things can change, and we were worried that if something happened which wildly changed our relationship, I might run into custody issues with my kid.

It's not an issue anymore, because, you know, she's 22, but.

even with those four numbers there are countless possible combinations good luck with figuring out which one is the right one you punk

*straightens calculator*

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

n!/(n-4)! possible orders. As ‘n’ is 4 (number of digits available). 4!/0! which becomes 4x3x2x1/1 which simplifies to 24. That means that there are 24 possible combinations of codes. This would take you about two or three minutes to input all possible codes.

Unless an alarm goes off if you don’t get it right in 3 tries

*straightens calculator again*

Kick the fucking door in

well ‘technically’ the code is most likley 1970. statistically, a majority of people, when told to choose a 4 digit code will choose their birth year. and this key pad is obviously a few years old to put it nicely, thats most likley it. 

some sherlock holmes shit just went down over here

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

Sherlock out.

woah.

it got better

and this is why the sherlock fandom could either rule the world or end it….

Close, but not quite, I think. People will almost always choose a number they can remember. What’s memorable about 0791? Try 0719 - a birthday, 19th of July. That is more likely.

Those deductions are great and all, but unnecessary.

The light is green.

The door is already open.

And that’s why we have a John Watson.

This is “top 10 favorite posts” level.

Omg, it’s actually on my dash! This post is like a fossil!

Idk if I’ve rebloged this before, but I’ll reblog this legend again

Smithsonian? I’ve found the quintessential Tumblr and Sherlock fandom post. Yes. I would consider it definitive.

Ahh it’s back.

Legend of a post. 10/10 recommend reblogging.

this post is on my dash I feel HONORED

THE POST OF LEGENDS HAS RESURFACED ON MY DASH

I’VE ONLY EVER SEEN THIS IN SCREENSHOTS OMG

On your dash? I dig for gold like this,,, by looking at my mutual pages.

I’ve only seen this on Pinterest!

*gasp* THE SACRED TEXTS!

:O

THIS IS A LEGENDARY POST I HAVE BEEN GRACED BY IT’S APPEARANCE!!!

@hellsite-hall-of-fame

yesssss

Why did Tumblr stop doing stuff like this, it’s genuinely fascinating, and cute that we include our favorite media in things we do

Well. Since you asked. I was on tumblr as this post was being built in 2013. The height of superwholock. Which has, since then, been declared peak cringe. So people picked new fandoms to openly love in earnest. Which were also eventually declared cringe. Eventually the youth decided to cut out the middleman, and declared loving anything in earnest to be fully cringe. So it has been a really long time since the day to day users of tumblr have let any fandom create anything nearing the cultural phenomenon that was superwholock. And it is exactly those cultural phenomena that are needed to create posts like this.

So. What happened? Cringe culture happened.

Try and imagine what would happen if this post wasn’t the “sacred texts” only ever seen in screen shots and in pinterest. Try and imagine any current pop culture detective media fandom creating this post today. They’d be slaughtered for being cringe by the time (in this case) Sherlock was mentined.

But because this post is 10 years old and completely broke containment, it’s celebrated when it graces our dashes.

I blazed a small fandom event announcement.  Because I was genuinely excited to be part of a Big Bang for a wonderful movie.  One of the first responses I got was “Why would you blaze this?” Because of genuine excitement. Because I wanted to celebrate the friends I’d met in the fandom To spread joy to people who might also like the content but hadn’t seen it yet.   The fact that that was genuinely not realized made me sad.  I love thing, I celebrate thing.   I’m too old for cringe.  Cringe is dead.  Love what you love.  Enjoy the small things in life, it’s too short to do otherwise.

okay but this is a power move above any other

It gets even better, because he was doing all of this on a pitch black night. This dude swam towards a lure, slapped at it with his glove, and when it got caught; he let himself float and tugged on the line so the fisherman thought he had hooked a 100+ pound salmon. Once he was finally up to the shore, he turned a flashlight on in the guy’s face and walked out of the water, saying “good morning, gentlemen. State fish and game warden, you’re under arrest.“

At this point, the guy who had reeled him in had literally fallen over in shock, and the other people with him were scared shitless. The warden whipped some citations out of a plastic bag in his wetsuit, made the trespassers sign them, asked if they had any questions, and then gathered all of their fishing gear. And he just. Walked back into the river. And quietly swam away, without another word.

This man is a legend.

It’s true. I started calling “the cloud” offsite storage, and the comprehension that dawns in my customers’ eyes is super gratifying. They understand external hard drives, but many couldn’t wrap their heads around this mystical floating in the air storage–because that’s not how it works at all. You’re just using space on someone else’s hard drive.

[Image is a t-shirt which reads:

There is no cloud It’s just someone else’s computer]

I explain this to eeeevery patron who comes in to ask for tech help etc. I find ways to explain it, because it’s important.

“Oh ‘the cloud’ is just what they decided to call it. What it actually means is that you use the internet to connect to some dedicated computer somewhere where your file is stored, and then you can access that file, which is why it only works with an internet connection. You’re just renting space on a computer the company owns.”

Suddenly everything is less mysterious.

For the past few days, a heatwave has glowered over the Pacific Northwest, forcing temperatures in the region to a record-breaking 118ºF. Few people in the region—neither Americans nor Canadians—have air-conditioning. Stores sold out of new AC units in hours as a panicked public sought a reasonable solution to the emergency. Unfortunately, air-conditioning is part of what’s causing the unusual heatwave in the first place.

We came close to destroying all life on Earth during the Cold War, with the threat of nuclear annihilation. But we may have come even closer during the cooling war, when the rising number of Americans with air conditioners—and a refrigerant industry that fought regulation—nearly obliterated the ozone layer. We avoided that environmental catastrophe, but the fundamental problem of air conditioning has never really been resolved.

Mechanical cooling appeared in the early 1900s not for comfort but for business. In manufacturing, the regulation of temperature—“process cooling”—controlled the quality of commodities like cotton, tobacco, and chewing gum. In 1903, Alfred Wolff installed the first cooling system for people at the New York Stock Exchange because comfortable traders yielded considerably higher stock returns. Only in the ’20s did “commercial cooling” appear. On Memorial Day weekend 1925, Willis Carrier debuted the first centrifugal air-conditioning system at the Rivoli Theater in Midtown Manhattan. Previously, theaters had shut down in the summer. With air-conditioning, the Rivoli became “the talk of Broadway” and inaugurated the summer blockbuster.

-another direct tie to capitalism. Everything born out of colonio-capitalism carries its toxic mark. Article totally not under the cut for those who can’t pay for Time. It honestly paints a really clear picture of the situation. Bolding mine.-

“It’s time we become more comfortable with discomfort. Our survival may depend on it.“

Keep reading

This is the straws all over again.

This isn’t about “discomfort” and “our need to adapt” - something our useless governments are already saying (and they’re all too eager to get such approval from the media as they’re already doing nothing so they can continue doing nothing).

It’s about DEATH from heat exhaustion/heat stroke, severe dehydration, and the breakdown of our bodies’ normal capacity to regulate one’s temperature.

What’s the hottest temperature the human body can cope with?

How high can internal temperature of the human body temperature go?

Record Heat: How the Body Reacts to Soaring Temperatures

What Are the Limits of Human Survival?

It’s not about “enduring” it. You can’t “toughen up” to this. Body temperature regulation is as important as getting food and sleep. Otherwise, you will die.

Heat waves are already deadly for infants, children, the elderly, and disabled people. Most medication is extremely dehydrating and make us even more vulnerable to heat exhaustion.

The kind of heat waves we’ve been getting and will keep on getting if we don’t make the governments ACT? They will be deadly to everyone. And, before that, nobody will be able to work anymore. See how the pandemic disrupted access to consumer goods because the factories/plants and then trade routes and borders were shut down? This is a small example of what will happen. Nobody can work in this kind of heat–not even under threat. (Potentially exposing yourself and your close ones to a deadly virus is one thing. Working in heat that will kill you before the end of your shift? Impossible.) The system will collapse and, hopefully, force an end to the carbon emissions that no one will ever stop because they can’t.

Legit these temps can’t be “endured” they kill disabled and old people and guess one day you’ll be both

Also blaming people for running their ac for climate change is pretty ironic given

okay but the idea of romance/amatonormativity as horror from an aro perspective could work so terrifyingly well

like, you wake up one day, and suddenly, there's someone else in your house. they call you honey and say they're your spouse

you don't know them. you don't remember them. but you are now legally and socially bound to them and their identity

you cannot find solitude - they are where you are, in your bed from the moment you wake up

you cannot find peace - they are bound to you in a million little ways, from photos you cannot delete from your phone to a name you can't remove from your accounts

you try to look to the other people in your life for help, for clarity, but they all accept this relationship as fact

and what's worse, all the people you had truly given your heart to - your friends, your family, your partners - have inexplicably distanced themselves from you, out of some misplaced reverence for your romantic relationship

they tell you to talk to your spouse. they tell you it's not their place to get in the middle of this. they tell they've never seen a love like yours - and it'll all work out in the end

you look in the face of this stranger in your house and know in your heart you've never seen a love like this either

The nature of the immigrant is any food they make is inauthentic, neither "authentic" food from their homeland nor "authentic" food from where they live. This is of course, not xenophobic in the slightest.

I think about this every time I see someone pretentiously going on about where a food ackshually came from because immigrants are never fucking good enough. If you do this I fucking hate you. Apologize to every immigrant immediately or face my wrath.

I promise your culinary experiences will only improve if you start to consider immigrant foodways as valuable traditions in their own right. Immigrants devising ways to make food they like using what they find available in their new homes is one of the greatest examples of how humans express love through food.

Let's also not forget the intersex kids who are forced into surgeries and hormones with no ability to consent.

Trans and intersex bodily autonomy NOW.

This. There are many intersex children who go thru puberty early, and most of the time intervention is chosen for us, not by us. Cis intersex children deserve autonomy too.

would love to see more non-sexualized nudity like this in art. this, right here? this is every woman: just at home relaxing with her tits out. she doesn’t have her tits out to please anybody but herself–she’s lounging around, she’s hanging out with her cat, she has her tits out just because. that’s a whole mood. that’s relatable, realistic, and very human. and it’s so superior to the massive amount of art we have of women frolicking around with their backs arched to appeal to the male gaze. lady just doesn’t wanna wear a bra. just wants to lounge around with a book and a cat and her tits just hanging. respect

So I was trying to figure out what the artist was portraying here or what was going on and I couldn’t find a lot of info but I did find More

Naked ladies vibing with books and food seems to be her thing and I’m here for it.

This makes an incredible and resounding amount of sense

“My main theme is, without a doubt, that intimacy and peace which women know when they are alone, when they enjoy such simple pleasures as reading during breakfast, or losing themselves staring into the eyes of a cat, or just sleeping.” -  Francine Van Hove

wait till the tumblr girlies find out that in binary star systems sometimes one star will basically eat the other and kill them both - resulting in the most powerful thing a star could ever do in its life.

you can become the greatest reckoning in the world but it will cost you your life and your partner’s life. or do you wish to simply circuit each other until you both die - never truly touching

TO my understanding (based on this and this and my rusty old degree in astrophysics) there’s two types of systems that create type 1a supernovae

one is the double-degenerate model, where two white dwarfs eat each other and then both explode

the other is the single-degenerate model, where a white dwarf siphons off helium from a donor star, then it explodes and probably leaves the donor star more or less intact.

so, either you touch and you both go out in a blaze of destruction and creation, or you touch and one of you is destroyed... and the other has to live with it, in the cloud of debris they left, no less

but yeah either way it’s yuri

Imagine falling in love with your best friend and he doesn't reciprocate those feelings

He meets Radovid in the shed and decides fuck it and sleeps together. He turns to him and promises him all his riches and fineries, all the things Jaskier dreamed of when he first started out as a bard. He re-offers the court bard position from before and Jaskier considers but still says he'll think about it.

Jump to Jaskier alone with Geralt infront of a campfire. He mentions Radovid's offer and his thoughts on taking it. How it might help them in the future, more connections, more people they can trust, more places to feel safe at with the prince of Redania to back them up. He waits for a reaction but Geralt just stares at him with this knowing look.

"But you'd hate it there, Jask." For some reason, this irks Jaskier.

"How would you know? I'm a lavish man Geralt, you know that. I love money and silks and fame. This could be my chance." Geralt simple looks at him, reading him like an open book.

"You're a songbird. You're not supposed to be caged." He watches Geralt polish his swords, and if there's a faint redness in his cheeks, he doesn't comment on it. Instead, he sighs because of course Geralt sees right through him. He knew he'd hate it the moment Radovid offered.

"And I suppose I'm free here then? In your little circle?" He teases, feeling much lighter than when the conversation started. The feeling immediately disappears once he feels a hand threading their fingers with his own. Geralt brings their hands closer to him, looking at them while Jaskier stays still with his heartbeat racing.

"I hope so. You're...I haven't told you and I should, because you deserve to hear it."

"Hear what?"

"You're part of this family. You-...You were the first person...." The words fumble and trip over one another on his tongue but the hand clasping Geralt's squeezes and a wave of reassurance washes over him. Like it always does when Jaskier is around. He takes a breath and looks at him, praying to all the gods that Jaskier sees him. Like he always does.

"You're my family, Jask. I can't- I don't think I can do this without you." He whispers quietly but Jaskier hears him loud and clear.

Please don't leave.

"A wolf, a lion cub, a raven and a songbird. Quite a family you've found for yourself, darling." Geralt smiles in relief, and kisses his knuckles.

Stay with us. With me.

"Wouldn't trade it for the world."
