Oh, fuck this. If you're a new user, don't forget to set your dashboard to Following and turn "Based on your likes" and "Best stuff first" off
btw the term "women's health" to discuss uterine care/menstruation isnt just transphobic, it also keeps up this aggravating idea that the uterus & menstruation are obscene and impolite and need to be kept hidden under flowery vague terms as to not offend any cis men. like trans people demanding the end of gendered language around this stuff aren't just helping trans people, its also just good to normalize calling tampons and pads "menstrual supplies" because thats what they fucking are!!! we should say the words uterus vagina menstruation and we should do it in public and in stores instead of talking about ~women's needs~ and ~feminine care~. trans liberation is fundamental to women's liberation and anti-patriarchal action in general. listening to trans men & people isn't bad for women its good for literally everyone
i saw a man at work the other day wearing a shirt that said "i was normal 2 pomeranians ago" with pictures of his pomeranians on it. important to note he had his pomeranians in his cart
artists rendition (i forgot to add the poms on his shirt but you get the gist)
Every time someone makes an artist's rendition of a weird little guy they saw in public instead of recording them without consent, an angel gets it's wings.

This feels like a good time add one of my favorite weird inventions from history: The book wheel, invented in 1588
“Progress Shark” outside the Australian Museum, ahead of Sydney Mardi Gras/World Pride Festival 2023.
More flags should be inflatable sharks
Ok this is making me go insane because. that’s a photoshop. it absolutely is, someone’s edited a progress pride flag onto the shark.
you can see spots where the red is misaligned with the top of the body and even extends slightly beyond it. the lines of the flag don’t conform to the shape of the shark’s body at all. you can see the gills through it as if it’s at like 70% opacity.
but like. the progress pride shark is real and it looks like this:
yknow. cause it’s a flag wrapped around a model shark.
why was this edited????? it’s a real thing but for some reason someone edited a digital flag over it instead of just using a real photo of the real thing??? why????
@i-draws-dinosaurs the original photo(shop) was the mockup the city of Sydney made before the actual event where they wrapped the shark in the flag.
ah okay that would explain it, I was so baffled at the idea that someone had seen the shark and decided to go home and photoshop their own version of a thing that already exists but it being a mockup makes way more sense.
ruh roh, it gets worse
I’m not a Redditor so I could be wrong. But this looks pretty fucking bad
Just finished sketches for my new graphic novel The Firelight Apprentice (woo!) so I am making my color palette for it and thought I’d show my process of making a color palette:
Like most of my work, I’m pulling inspiration from commercial art from 1880-1910 for the graphic novel. So I grabbed a few Leibig ads with palettes I like.
Next, I start to manipulate the images together, adjusting the hue, levels, and saturation, as well as expanding chucks with colors I really want to ensure they come through in the final step.
Last step is just slapping on a mosaic filter. I usually go back and forth, making more adjustments to the images just to make sure I’m getting all the colors I want. And because this palette is for a story, I’ll add notes to indicate what parts of the palette represent.
My asshole neighbour knocked on my door at 2.30am last night!
Luckily I was still up playing my bagpipes
A man on his retirement, purchased a house situated near a high school. He spent the first few weeks of his retirement in peace, then the new school year began. One afternoon early into the first semester, three young boys came down the street, beating merrily on every bin they passed.
They did this the following day and the day’s after that, for a week, until the man decided it was time to take some action.
The next afternoon, he walked out to meet the boys as they banged their way down the street.
Stopping them, he said, “You kids are a lot of fun. In fact, I used to do the same thing when I was your age. Would you do me a favor? I would give you each a dollar, if you promise to come around and do your thing.”
The boys were more than happy to accept this and continued to bang the bins.
After a few days, the man came out to meet them with a sad smile, and said, “This recession really is putting a dent in my income. From now on, I will pay you each 50 cents to continue.”
The boys were unimpressed by this, but continued to do the same afternoon activities.
A few days later, the man approached them again and said, “Look, the recession has again reduced my income, so from now on, I am afraid I can only pay you 25 cents each.”
The leader then exclaims angrily, “That’s it? If you really think we are going to waste our time banging the bins for 25 cents each, you must be a fool. No way that’s going to happen. We quit.”
The man then enjoyed peace and serenity for the rest of his days.
A panda walks into a bar.
The bartender asks, “Would you like anything to drink?”
The panda replies, “No thanks, I’m only here to eat.”
“So what would you like to eat?”
“I’ll just take the fries.”
The bartender serves the panda, who enjoys the meal. He asks, “Now, will your payment be cash or card?”
The panda calmly replies, “Oh, just card.”
After paying, the panda gets up and takes out a pistol. He fires a few shots in the direction of a few men, killing some in the process.
The bartender, horrified, shouts, “What the hell was that for? You just killed 4 men!”
The panda says, “I’m a panda, man. Look it up.” The panda then abruptly exits the bar.
The bartender confused, looks up “Panda” on Google. The description said:
“The giant panda is a bear species endemic to China. It is characterised by its bold black-and-white coat and rotund body. Eats shoots and leaves.”

this reply in the comments tho
This did not go where I expected from the first tweet and now I am laughing so hard I am crying.
Pizza VS Flower with bee on it VS Bisexuality VS Wind turbine
For anyone who doesn't want to watch the video, he used a list of things from Wikidata, pared it down to about 8000 things that most people would have heard of, and made a website where people voted for the best option in randomly selected pairs of things.
Pizza was voted the 9th best thing, making it the best food. Bees weren't in the top 10 best things, but they won 77% of matchups to be selected as the best creature, followed by emperor penguins and hedgehogs. Bisexuality didn't place in the top 10 either, but it won 73% of matchups compared to heterosexuality winning only 45%. (Orgasms were the highest ranked sexual thing, and were miraculously ranked at number 69.) I think the windmill is supposed to stand for electricity, which was the second place winner. And the winner of "best thing" was sleep.
the r/curatedtumblr -> tumblr migration is so funny to me. it's like going to the zoo and enjoying it so much you climb into the enclosure to live with the monkeys
this reply evokes such an incredible image in the mind’s eye
