with faith and perseverance, one day we will sauté the horrors

Golden Target Tortoise Beetle

LITTLE PEETS

pat pat pat pat pat pat

People who just think of insects as “creepy crawly” should have to see this and also have to watch until she tries to clean her foot near the end. Watching any arthropod for any length of time you can plainly see that they’re not mindless automatons. They’re like any conscious animal humans tend to “relate” to but in a funny little spacesuit.

tortoise beetles are LITERALLY the cutest fucking shit

watching cat tv

part of being an ally to trans men is not being a dick to cis men for their appearance btw

the short trans men hear you. the trans men with bottom growth—or who are post-phalloplasty—hear your bad jokes about small dicks. the trans men undergoing hrt who are losing their hair hear you talk shit about bald spots.

also, hot take, you should care about not hurting random cis men in addition to not hurting trans men. like just because some guy is being an asshole online doesn’t mean the thousands of young boys reading your comments about someone with their same acne deserved it. i don’t care what your reason is, even if you think someone is bad enough to warrant being bullied, who gave you permission to hurt the innocent bystander?

hey y’all should spread this version bc some people need to hear this context

the group chat when i ask whos available to hang out next week

[ID: A video compilation showing clips of Tom Scott, a British YouTuber. In each clip he explains in one sentence either where he is geographically, or he narrates what he is doing. Each clip is filmed similarly, though there is slight variation. Scott is a thin pale white man with mousy brown hair - he generally stands in front of the camera, talking to it directly and gesturing at his surroundings with his hands. Over the course of the video, Scott says;

“I’m in Weldon Springs. I’m in Gävle. I’m in the abandoned city of Pripyat. I’m inside one of the Inchindown oil tanks. I’m off to the Arctic for three weeks. I am not inside a fusion reactor. I’m in Hull. I am at Disney World. I am in an airplane bathroom. I am in an unpowered glider. I am in Iceland. I’m flying a few thousand feet over Lincolnshire. I’m at platform 9¾. I’m under the English Channel. I am still in the Arctic. I’m on top of a hill. I’m in Baton Rouge! I am squinting into the sun. I’m in Swindon. I am about to cross a road! I’m in Bristol. I’m on my way back from the Arctic. I’m at Space Camp. I am putting myself at risk of being sued. I’m at a party. I’m at the Eureka Weather Station. I am with Norm! I am back with Norm! Last time I was outside this pub with Norm he taught me how to strangle someone. I am back in the UK and I have a cold.” /End ID]

RB if you think CD drives in computers are not obsolete, but in fact still necessary, despite being artificially phased out

just in case anyone missed this in the news or maybe not in the loop, Disney is currently refusing to meet with or acknowledge the newly formed animation production workers union that just voted to join IASTE and become an official part of TAG, the animators and animation artists guild

production workers across all studios are currently voting to be recognized for their hard work and invaluable skill at keeping these productions running, but studios are refusing to meet with them to let them negotiate deals or even exist

as someone who works in animation as a designer i know i wouldn't be able to do my job at all without any of my production workers. they are the incredibly hard working people who oversee pretty much everything in animation. they make sure everything is running on time, that schedules are being followed, they have to know pretty much every single word of the scripts and beats from the storyboards to make sure nothing is missed, and most importantly, they make sure artists are being taken care of and not overworked. they really are the unsung heroes of the animation world

production workers are also by far the most exploited workers in animation currently. they make about a fraction of what artists make for just as much work put in, and currently have no agreement for health coverage or other benefits that artists protected by the union are guaranteed

BUT! there is some good news. right now there's a petition on IATSE's website that has over 80,000 signatures currently addressed to disney leadership to do the right thing and meet with this new union and recognized their vote to form. it still needs roughly 21,000 signatures and only takes a minute to sign! anyone with a zip or postal code can sign, meaning both US and Canadian residents can sign and help this union get the deal it deserves!!

i was able to sign from Germany so international zip codes also seem to work!

i definitely think minecraft won't be the game for everyone in the end and that's just how things are no problem but i do think *some* people who don't get the hype of it just need to play with their friends and build a house with them. its also for doing things like this.

.

whatever i guess nobody've read that so imma just drop the screenshots

no reaction???

Why would you do that to someone's house.

not me realizing that with tumblr moving the icons to the side, it eliminates xkit, which was situated at the top. what a scumbag move

xkit rewritten, which should be used instead of the shambling corpse of old xkit, lives in the addon bar of your browser! And it handled the new layout like a champ, removing all of the garbage (if configured to do so). https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/xkit-rewritten/ https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xkit-rewritten/ehgbadgnkmeeldglkmnplolneidgpbcm

#the final days were upon us #and then it was thursday again

We aren't the first to feel like the world is ending, and if they were wrong, so might we be.

Sooo hilarious but I can completely see this being a real conversation between streaming execs 😏

On this, the anniversary of the lunar landing, let us also celebrate the greatest post-mission achievement by a crewman.

I refer, of course, to the time Buzz Aldrin (age 72 at the time) cold-cocked a moon landing conspiracy theorist straight in his smug face after being accused of being a coward, liar, and thief.

Yes, someone was indeed dumb enough to tell a man so unafraid of death that he was willing to go into the void on a fragile explosive rocket, a coward.

Said dumbass was filming this confrontation as some sort of proof of moon fraud, but has instead captured this glorious moment of near-cosmic justice for us to loop for all time.

Aldrin was not charged with any crime. He should have been given another medal for public service.
