there are two main things about the characterization of firestar by both the fans and the authors that i just do not understand like

1. kits/apprentices/younger warriors are like in awe and respectful of him. like there’s no way firestar isn’t that one cool teacher that’s pretty much your second dad. throughout the original series he was like the apprentice magnet. there’s no way as a leader he isn’t constantly helping the apprentices train and cracking endearing but very uncool jokes. he can’t walk around the camp without a line of kits tumbling after him.

2. that he would have absolutely no idea about any of the forbidden love fiascoes going around him. this guy lives for drama. he uncovered bluestar’s secret for the hell of it. he figured out where graystripe was going in a few days. he suspected cloudpaw was getting into something way before the rest of the clan even cared. firestar can sniff out juicy gossip a mile away. hell the first time leafpool snuck out to see crowfeather he’s waiting in the camp when she gets back with a “who is he”

Firestar’s entire thing in the books is that he can’t mind his damn business I don’t get why people think he wouldn’t detect a forbidden relationship before it even happened.

Some people say there's like a crisis of masculinity going on or whatever but honestly I think in America at least the cis are just having a crisis generally. Girl dinner girl math alpha male sigma shrigma PUA femcels hinge bio jim to my pam gender reveal podcast your girlfriend must clean your undies and if your man doesn't practice semen retention you need to get a new man. I think the cis have had too much therapy and hashtag selfcare and motivational speakers telling them to clean their room and all their unseemly desires are bursting out through the cracks. It must be a lot of work to give shit about all that bullshit all the time. Be guided by your heart and not your nerves, and be free.

So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.

Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!

I study graphic design and my tutor recommended and used this in his classes at art college last year, it’s so good it has SO many features for free, I really recommend it, even if you’re just trying to learn the basics of PS, such a wonderful thing <3

hold up im reading more about the lionfish thing and this one island in Honduras has had such a huge problem with lionfish that the measures they have taken include

• getting special exemption from the Honduran government to allow divers access to harpoons and spears which are otherwise illegal in fishing

• public campaign to teach people how to prepare and eat lionfish (apparently they are very tasty once the poisonous spines are removed) (but watch out)

• holding lionfish combination hunting competition and cookout (reportedly they killed and cooked 1,700 in a day) (someone killed 60 of them with a rubber band spear gun???)

• most recently and apparently out of desperation, the divers in charge of culling the lionfish in the Roatan Marine Park just started. feeding the lionfish they killed to sharks. bc what else are you gonna do with it

• the sharks don’t seem to notice or be affected by the poison and begin hanging out with the divers

• the sharks then were seen hunting and killing the lionfish on their own

like this is nuts to me sorry. the sharks just had to be shown “hey this is food, did you know?? you can eat these!! here try one!!” we are possibly altering an entire foodchain bc we like feeding the big ocean wolves

here’s the article please read it

I know it's because they're invasive but it's hilarious how many different ways human have come up with to send this one fish in particular to the plinko.

So. Ok. for 500 people, they were walking around in the mid 2000s, and then there was nuclear armagedon, and then they woke up on fucking Pluto, in a magic bone cult, and told they were god's gift to a group of people guarding/revering a tomb, and then a few months later monsters attacked and drove everybody out of their mind or killed them.

Like.

I want a story from the POV of one of those poor bastards.

I feel like we could learn a lot about John Gaius if we knew what was going on in their minds.

PSA: *Beware* AI-generated fungi guudebooks!!

…Not a phrase I imagined myself typing today. But, via @heyMAKWA on Twitter:

“i'm not going to link any of them here, for a variety of reasons, but please be aware of what is probably the deadliest AI scam i've ever heard of:

“plant and fungi foraging guide books. the authors are invented, their credentials are invented, and their species IDs will kill you”

…So please be careful if you run across anything of this kind.

NOOOOO

come on man

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL

“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”

My mom learned it because she figured she’ll go deaf when she gets old

My family went holiday SCUBA diving once, and a couple of Deaf guys were in the group. I was really little and I spent most of the briefing overcome with the realization that while the rest of us were going to have regulators in our mouths and be underwater fairly soon, they were going to be able to do all the same stuff and keep talking.

The only reason some form of sign language is not a standard skill is ableism, as far as I can tell.

For anyone interested in learning, Bill Vicars has full lessons of ASL on youtube that were used in my college level classes. 

https://www.youtube.com/user/billvicars

and here’s the link to the website he puts in his videos:

https://www.lifeprint.com/

Update: you guys this is an amazing resource for learning asl. Bill Vicars is an incredible teacher. His videos are of him teaching a student in a classroom, using the learned vocabulary to have conversations.

Not only is the conversation format immersive and helpful for learning the grammar, but the students make common mistakes which he corrects, mistakes I wouldn’t have otherwise know I was making.

He also emphasizes learning ASL in the way it’s actually used by the Deaf community and not the rigid structure that some ASL teachers impose in their classrooms

His lesson plans include learning about the Deaf community, which is an important aspect of learning ASL. Knowing how to communicate in ASL without the knowledge of the culture behind it leaves out a lot of nuances and explanations for the way ASL is.

Lastly, his lessons are just a lot of fun to watch. He is patient, entertaining, and funny. This good natured enthusiasm is contagious and learning feels like a privilege and not a chore

And it’s all FREE. Seriously. If you’ve ever wanted to learn ASL

Losing my goddamn fucking mind over how Batman 1966 gave Catwoman a sidekick in one episode and named her Pussycat.

that’s the legendary Jewish lesbian singer Lesley Gore btw, so I have an inkling they knew what they were doing
