May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love
So what this paint company does is take iron pollution from abandoned mines that are polluting soils and rivers and makes iron based red pigment paints out of it.
Basically they realized hey no one's cleaning this shit up, it's polluting the streams, killing all the fish, making the water undrinkable and there's a huge market for it so why not make money by cleaning it the fuck up?
They remove this stuff by the industrial bucket load from the rivers. The idea is if it's in a painting, if it's in your home, it's not poisoning wildlife.
anyway its cool as shit, please support tf out of these people https://gamblinstore.com/reclaimed-earth-colors-set/

The thing some people do where they "flip the script" on bigoted narratives in an attempt to be progressive but just end up being bigoted towards another marginalized group instead. That thing. I don't like that thing
To give an example that’s rather personal for me: “actually if any group of people are basically animals it’s those dirty Eastern Europeans” isn’t the enlightened take you think it is. It doesn’t dismantle western white supremacism, it just tells CEE people not to trust you. And yes, I have seen people make that take while patting themselves on the back for how progressive and tolerant they are.
Saw a post like this with negative outlook so I asked for it to be fixed

Reblog on Tuesday to let your followers know it’s safe to leave the bog
for chinese new year they get all these famous actors and comedians together and they do a lil show and one of the comedians was like “i was in a hotel in america once and there was a mouse in my room so i called reception except i forgot the english word for mouse so instead i said ‘you know tom and jerry? jerry is here’
beefmilk2
jerry is here
my chinese teacher once shared this story in class about someone who went to the grocery to buy chicken, but they forgot the english word for it, so they grabbed an egg, went to the nearest sales lady and said “where’s the mother”

When I was a teenager, we went to Italy for the summer holidays. We are German, neither of us speaks more than a few words of Italian. That didn’t keep my family from always referring to me when they wanted something translated because “You’re so good with languages and you took Latin”. (I told them a hundred times I couldn’t order ice cream in Latin, they ignored that.) Anyway, my dad really loved a certain cheese there, made from sheep’s milk. He knew the Italian word for ‘cheese’ – formaggio – and he knew how to say ‘please’. And he had already spotted a little shop that sold the cheese. He asked me what ‘sheep’ was in Italian, and of course, I had no idea. So he just shrugged and said “I’ll manage” and went into the shop. 5 mins later, he comes out with a little bag, obviously very pleased with himself. How did he manage it? He had gone in and said “'Baaaah’ formaggio, prego.”
I was done for the day.
This makes me feel better about every conversation I had in both Rome and Ghent.
I once lost my husband in the ruins of a French castle on a mountain, and trotted around looking for him in increasing desperation. “Have you seen my husband?” I asked some French people, having forgotten all descriptive words. “He is small, and English. His hair is the color of bread.”
I did not find my husband in this way.
In rural France it is apparently Known that one brings one’s own shopping bags to the grocery store. I was a visitor and had not been briefed and had no shopping bag. I saw that other people were able to conduct negotiations to purchase shopping bags, but I could not remember the word for “bag.”
“Can I have a box that is not a box,” I said.
The checkout lady looked extremely tired and said, “Un sac?” (A sack?)
Of course. A fucking sack. And so I did get a sack.
I once was at a German-American Church youth camp for two weeks and predictably, we spoke a whole lot of English.
When I phoned my mom during week two I tried to tell her that it was a bit cold in the sleeping bag at night. I stumbled around the word in German because for the love of god, I could remember the Germwn word for sleeping bag.
“Yeah so, it’s like a bag you sleep in at night?”
“And my mother must probably have thought I lost my mind. She just sighed and was like ‘So, a Schlafsack, yes?”
Which is LITERALLY Sleeping sac … The German word is a basically a one on one translation of the English word and I just… I failed it. At my mother tongue. BIG
My former boss is Italian and she ended up working in a lab where the common language was English. She once saw an insect running through the lab and she went to tell her colleagues. She remembered it was the name of a famous English band so she barged in the office yelling there was a rolling stone in the lab…
I’m Spanish and have been living in the UK for a while now. I recently changed jobs and moved to a new office which is lost somewhere in the Midlands’ countryside. It’s a pretty quaint location, surrounded by forest on pretty much all sides, and with nice grounds… full of pheasants. I was pretty shocked when I drove in and saw a fucking pheasant strolling across the road. Calm as you please.
That afternoon I met up with some friends and was talking about the new job, and the new office, and for the life of me I couldn’t remember the English word for pheasants. So I basically ended up bragging to my friends about “the very fancy chickens” we had outside the office.
Best thing is, everyone understood what I meant.
I love those stories so much…

Picture a Jewish American girl whose grasp of the Hebrew language comes from 10+ years of immersion in Biblical and liturgical Hebrew, not the modern language. Some words are identical, while others have significantly evolved.
She gets to Israel and is riding a bus for the very first time.
American: כמה ממון זה? (”How much money?” but in rather archaic language)
Bus Driver: שתי זוזים. (”Two zuzim” – a currency that’s been out of circulation for millenia)
that’s hilarious
I am officially screamlaughing at my desk from that last one OH MY
Does everyone know the prime minister who promised to fuck the country?
So in Biblical Hebrew the word for penis and weapon are the same. There is a verb meaning to arm, which modern Hebrew semanticly drifted into “fuck”: i.e. give someone your dick.
The minister was making a speech while a candidate, bemoning the state of the world. “The Soviet Union is fucking Egypt. Germany is fucking Syria. The Americans are fucking everyone. But who is fucking us? When I am prime minister, I will ensure we are fucked!”
What the hell Biblical Hebrew.

Just guessing: The path from something like “give someone a blade” to “give someone a blade, if you know what I mean ;)” is probably not that difficult or unlikely.

^Given that the Latin word for sheath (like, for a sword) is literally “vagina”, I can verify that this metaphor is a time-honored one.

Oh yeah and one time my Latin professor was at this conference in Greece and his flight was canceled, so he needed to extend his hotel stay by one more night.
Except he doesn’t speak a lick of modern Greek, and the receptionist couldn’t speak English. Or French. Or German. Or Italian. (He tried all of them.)
Finally, in a fit of inspiration, he went upstairs and got his copy of Medea in the original Greek (you know, the stuff separated from modern Greek by two and a half thousand years). He found the passage where Medea begs Jason to let her stay for one more day, went downstairs, and read it to the receptionist.
She laughed her head off, but she gave him the extra night.
Reblogged just for Medea
The way I have to find anything on this website. Hair the color of bread, me, 2016.
My favourite episodes of Wayne Family Adventures are the ones with the other members of the justice league visiting or trying to help. DC should definitely do a Justice League webtoon in the same style. Flash getting into shenanigans in the watch tower, asking for help paying for the latest collateral damage. Aquaman and Wonderwoman being baffled by American culture. Superman being a ray of sunshine. Come on DC
reblog for a larger sample size pls etc etc i'll pass u a strawberry 🫶🏽

EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS, ACTIVATE
IF YOU CANNOT COMMISSION ME, CAN YOU HELP ME BY REBLOGGING?
Just as I was working on some new drawings and finishing up months worth of promises, my tablet has given up the ghost. I cannot figure out what it is, and I am afraid of opening it up in case it voids the warranty. I do not know if I am even entitled to warranty until Tuesday (argh) and a new tablet will cost me a month’s rent.
And considering my income’s disappeared due to the virus… well, you can imagine how stressed this has made me just now.
All because I was trying to install this shitty Amazon’s Basic Arm fixture thing to improve my set up and reduce neck pain when drawing. Well, that last one is sorted out by default! Hah. Hah… ha…
While a bit at a loss, and cannot make any decisions until I hear back from them… Well, emergency commissions are incoming.
Obviously I cannot give you digital art, but I can still draw by hand and ink ye some goodness.
So, starting now, these go for £45 a pop. Single character, A3 size. Open to all. Free shipping of the original if you live in the UK.
Colours are extra.
Stories are a bit more expensive, but stay at Patreon levels. 5000 words go for £230. I would need to draw ten of these to be able to afford a new tablet so, or two stories. So, please, throw me your ideas.
Either message me here or to my email: MR.SCADE@HOTMAIL.COM with:
- character
- pose
- any reference you think pertinent
And I’ll send you a quote.
I only work for 50% upfront, people.
And I understand if you cannot commission me at the moment, and REBLOGGING helps a world. Share along, please.

As medical discrimination against LGBTQ+ people is becoming more normalized and even legal in the US, I think we should take inspiration from Hatzallah, the Jewish EMT organization, and establish our own independent EMT services around the country that we can call in medical emergencies. In cases that don't require hospitalization, we can have EMTs that we know will respect us treat us, and in cases that require hospitalization, we can have volunteers who will be medical advocates for us.
