whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend clearly has never met ibuprofen
Actually literally accurate. The song originates in the 1949 musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, while ibuprofen was invented in 1961.
Let me put this in a way you’ll understand. Your son, Bakugou Ramirez, got hit by a car and has been “Isekai’d” to the ICU.
we need to free the nipple so bad im so serious we should be so far past the point where girl children are told they have to keep their shirt on while their brothers and cousins get to run around shirtless or women shamed for breastfeeding or trans men needing top surgery to go outside shirtless without getting judged at best and arrested at worst or girls getting taken out of class for not wearing a bra like this should be a priority
Hello world! Hope you enjoy heckin’ cool ASCII art ;v
A bit obsessed with totk right now so pls, have these pictures of the general store as a humble offering 🤲🏼
I really think that we need to be at peace with the idea of people posting online for attention. Literally every free piece of media from shitposts to art is being made for the very human need for attention and that's healthy and okay. It's not harmful behaviour to make funnyman shitposts for attention. I love my useless internet clout points actually
'You're just posting that for likes and reblogs"
That's the whole point dipshit
Do you guys think I make wizard themed shitposts to realign my chakras or something
Please don’t throw around the word ‘chakras’ esp if you are aren’t Asian it is a religious term. This is cultural appropriation.
bro what, chakras are to do with buddhism and hinduism not just vague "asian"
Gentiles,
If you think there's no antisemitism at all in your community, you're wrong.
If you think there's no antisemitism at all in your place of worship, you're wrong.
If you think there's no antisemitism at all in your school, you're wrong.
If you think there's no antisemitism at all in your workplace, you're wrong.
If you think there's no antisemitism at all in your family, you're wrong.
You don't notice it because you don't know enough about or don't care enough about antisemitism to notice.
Antisemitism usually isn't as obvious as someone blatantly saying "I hate Jews".
Learn how to identify it. Fight it. Or don't call yourself an ally.
If you think there’s no
antisemitism at all
in your school, you’re wrong.
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

the world is so inhospitable to quiet girls
did an internship recently and got so much positive feedback for my work until one of my supervisors told my manager that while i did the tasks perfectly i was ‘a bit quiet’ … it was my only negative feedback and still it was so demoralising because i felt like i had pushed myself to be way more chatty than i am naturally. STILL i was ‘too quiet’.
not even a customer facing role btw, i had no interaction with the public. it wasn’t a criticism of my work; it was of my personality.
we went for an interview for a job at a library once and part of the feedback when we didn’t get the job was “they were too quiet” and we were like
you interviewed us in a library
Canon is for losers I'm here for six million fics of the same two idiots realizing they love each other to distract from life
Reblog to come play this stupid homemade board game we're all making.
They’re just mad because they aren’t winning.
Your roll.
I rolled a blorbo.
That means you get noticed by PM Seymour and get a ton of notes for a day before regaining anonymity.
Ok your turn.
More complete list of ways that websites and books about gardening shamelessly misinform and confuse people
- Using any combination of cultivar names, species names, genus names, and common names to refer to plants, leaving well-intentioned gardening noobs fighting for their lives in a lawless wasteland. Just look at this Better Homes and Gardens article on salvia.
Salvia is a genus of plants containing hundreds of species, including culinary sage, rosemary, and many species used as ornamentals. The Better Homes and Gardens list ruthlessly mixes common names for sage species with cultivar names, without giving the binomial Latin species name at all for a single one...
...and refers to two totally different plants only as "purple sage" in the same listicle
- On that note, acting like "variety" is just as important as, or interchangeable with, "species." Just read an article that said "some varieties of this plant can be invasive, so make sure to check which ones are prohibited in your area!" No. NO. No specific cultivar of an invasive plant species is going to be non-invasive. In fact, introducing new cultivars of an invasive plant will make the invasive species problem WORSE because that's new genetic material. 'Bradford' pears are invasive in the US, 'Cleveland' pears are also invasive, because they're BOTH PYRUS CALLERYANA, but the website you're buying them off of doesn't SAY that, AUGHH
- Referring to plants that are enthusiastic or aggressive growers as 'invasive.' I falsely believed so many native species were invasive simply because some dumbass article decided to call them "invasive" for the crime of being able to grow in a lawn. The same websites will turn around and say that a 100% virulent invasive species "can become aggressive in some gardens" WHSFDHHKKK???
- Gardening books describing a gorgeous native flower that doesn't die instantly when you think a negative thought about it: "Invasive. Evil. Kill on sight." Gardening books describing one of the worst known invasive plant species in human history that's decimating ecosystems as we speak: "This plant can be a teensy weensy bit vigorous."
- totally failing to explore what it means for a cultivar of a plant to be "sterile." Here's the thing. The 'Bradford' pear was supposed to be sterile, but it was not, the cultivar was just made up of clones of the same plant, and most plants can't fertilize themselves. When another cultivar of Pyrus calleryana is planted close to it, such as the 'Cleveland' pear, surprise surprise, THEY AREN'T STERILE.
- IIRC it is possible to produce truly sterile cultivars by breeding a plant that can't make seeds/fruits and cloning those plants by vegetative propagation. A cultivar of cloned, genetically identical plants with completely unchanged reproductive ability is NOT STERILE, it is just banking on no other cultivars of the plant ever existing nearby. Which is deeply stupid.
- Yes, "cultivars" (the names in single quotation marks next to the name of the plant in a nursery label) are generally just groups of clones of the same founding individual. I'm not a fan of cultivars because they're basically Petri dishes for breeding disease. E.g. The Emerald ash borer was able to so thoroughly decimate ash trees in the USA partly because the gene pool of planted ash trees in American cities was 2-3 individual trees big. Now ornamental boxwoods seem to be dying off en masse in my area, and the reasons are probably similar.
Fandom PSAs
Dont’ Like, Don’t Read
or DL; DR
- You are responsible for curating your own online experience.
- If something upsets you, makes you angry or queasy or triggers you, stop reading/looking at it. Avoid things that might make you feel that way.
- Learn to use the Sort and Filter function on AO3, especially the Exclude tools.
- On social media, block and mute accounts / tags / words when necessary.
- If you hated something, you don’t need to tell that to the creator or start pointing fingers at them publicly.
- The Back button is free. Use it.
Addendum:
Yes, for this to work, creators need to tag their works accordingly, so that people know what sort of content they are about to engage with and can nope out if necessary.
I will probably make another PSA about the importance of proper tagging later.
Ship And Let Ship
or SALS
- You are allowed to ship whatever you want.
- Everyone else is also allowed to ship whatever they want.
- You are entitled to dislike or even hate a ship. If you want to do this online, in public, don’t use the ship tags for hate posts.
- If you see someone posting about a ship they like and you don’t, there is no need for you to start arguing with them in their replies / comments / QRTs / reblogs. Don’t throw your hate in their face.
- Do not harass fan creators or fans for shipping something you disapprove.
- All of this also applies to liking / disliking an individual character.
Addendum:
”I agree with this, except when…”
No, then you are NOT agreeing with this.
Let me make this VERY clear. There are NO exceptions. None.
You don’t EVER harass real people over pixels.
If you disagree with this, kindly block and move on.
Your Kink Is Not My Kink
or YKINMK / YKINMKATO
- The longer version is ”Your Kink Is Not My Kink And That’s Okay”.
- People have different tastes. Not everything is for everybody.
- Even if you don’t like a specific kink, other people are still allowed to use it in their creations.
- You are entitled to dislike kinky content and think that it’s ”weird”.
- Don’t kink shame or judge people based on their kinks.
- This goes both ways: your kink is not someone else’s kink, so don’t push it onto those who are not into it.
Be Kind
or Don’t Be An Asshole
- Focus on the things you like instead of the things you hate.
- Create and unite instead of destroying and dividing.
- Don’t harass real people over fictional things.
- Stop stirring up petty drama just to get some attention on social media.
- Stop trying to ”win”. Fandom is not a competition.
- Remember that your own experiences aren’t universally shared. Your perception of things can differ from someone else’s, but that doesn’t mean either of you is necessarily wrong.
Anonymous asked:
With love, why do you occasionally make my dash hell by posting the same image of a reverse mermaid on the beach a billion times? Like I respect the chaos but babe….why. (props for forcing me to take a break from my endless scrolling cuz my dash is just this fish tho lol)
"The Aneristic Principle is that of APPARENT ORDER; the Eristic Principle is that of APPARENT DISORDER. Both order and disorder are man made concepts and are artificial divisions of PURE CHAOS, which is a level deeper that is the level of distinction making.
With our concept making apparatus called "mind" we look at reality through the ideas-about-reality which our cultures give us. The ideas-about- reality are mistakenly labeled "reality" and unenlightened people are forever perplexed by the fact that other people, especially other cultures, see "reality" differently. It is only the ideas-about-reality which differ. Real (capital-T True) reality is a level deeper that is the level of concept.
We look at the world through windows on which have been drawn grids (concepts). Different philosophies use different grids. A culture is a group of people with rather similar grids. Through a window we view chaos, and relate it to the points on our grid, and thereby understand it. The ORDER is in the GRID. That is the Aneristic Principle.
Western philosophy is traditionally concerned with contrasting one grid with another grid, and amending grids in hopes of finding a perfect one that will account for all reality and will, hence, (say unenlightened westerners) be True. This is illusory; it is what we Erisians call the ANERISTIC ILLUSION. Some grids can be more useful than others, some more beautiful than others, some more pleasant than others, etc., but none can be more True than any other.
DISORDER is simply unrelated information viewed through some particular grid. But, like "relation", no-relation is a concept. Male, like female, is an idea about sex. To say that male-ness is "absence of female-ness", or vice versa, is a matter of definition and metaphysically arbitrary. The artificial concept of no-relation is the ERISTIC PRINCIPLE.
The belief that "order is true" and disorder is false or somehow wrong, is the Aneristic Illusion. To say the same of disorder, is the ERISTIC ILLUSION.
The point is that (little-t) truth is a matter of definition relative to the grid one is using at the moment, and that (capital-T) Truth, metaphysical reality, is irrelevant to grids entirely. Pick a grid, and through it some chaos appears ordered and some appears disordered. Pick another grid, and the same chaos will appear differently ordered and disordered.
Reality is the original Rorschach.
Verily! So much for all that."
To add: A lot of arguments on the Internet are just two parties compulsively trying to place their favourite grid, which they have declared is True in their minds, overtop of reality, often without any facts or evidence—but if they do present facts or evidence, they have been cherry-picked from the perspective of one who believes this viewpoint is True or the people who have established the facts or evidence did so with their preestablished bias that this paradigm for viewing reality is True.
This is why science as a whole has a huge replicability crisis. How humans perceive reality has a very intimate relationship with how they experience reality. It's likely that all the models we have for the relationship between how we perceive reality to work and how reality actually works are grossly or subtly wrong in some way.
