oatmeal cookie haters can’t touch me. i understand things about this world you never will

💯🙏💛🟨👍

Worst part about this is I've only ever used that yellow square emoji once and it was just to see how it looked. This isn't who I am. However, in retrospect, I suppose it is

Reading through the notes is a surreal experience please keep adding more to fuel my effervescent consumption of non descriptive emojis

i love when fic writers who have clearly never tried any kind of alcohol in their lives try to write someone drinking bc they're always like

"he ordered a tall glass of hard liquor. after three large glasses he was feeling tipsy" like babygirl i can't be sure but i think u just sent this man to the hospital

"the amber liquid tasted sweet" bestie i can assure you it did not

When you complain about the dashboard icons being removed, please please mention that this is horrible for accessibility.

People with dyslexia and some visual impairments rely on the icons to be able to easily tell who's blog a post is from! Navigating tumblr has just become much harder for anyone who has trouble with following people with similar usernames and reading names with dashes instead of spaces or no spaces at all between words. I have ADHD and likely dyslexia, and with the amount of people I follow with the word "jewish" at the beginning of their url, I'm gonna have a really fucking hard time when the update hits me. "Just read the urls!" doesn't work when you have a disability that makes it wicked hard. Usernames blur together and disappear within the post.

@support since I literally can't submit feedback without the app crashing. I am begging you to read this and understand that you WILL drive away disabled users if you keep this change. Yes, it also means losing a sense of community, but the fact that this hurts disabled people is vastly more important.

Texas questions rights of fetus in prison guard lawsuit despite arguing opposite on abortion | Texas | The Guardian

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/12/texas-fetus-rights-prison-guard-lawsuit-abortion

In defending themselves against a lawsuit, Texas officials have argued that an “unborn child” may not have rights under the US constitution, putting them in tension with arguments made by the state’s attorney general’s office as well as Republican lawmakers to support restrictions to abortion.

A guard at the state prison in the community of Abilene filed the lawsuit in question after she asserted that her superiors barred her from going to the hospital while she experienced intense labor pains and what she suspected were contractions while seven months pregnant and on duty.

The guard – who is named Salia Issa – was finally able to leave to go to the hospital two and a half hours after the pain started. She was rushed into emergency surgery after doctors were unable to find a fetal heartbeat and she ultimately delivered the baby in a stillbirth. The lawsuit claims that if Issa had been able to get to the hospital sooner, the baby would have survived.

Issa and her husband sued the Texas department of criminal justice and three supervisors, arguing the state caused the death of their child. They seek restitution in medical and funeral costs and for pain and suffering.

The prison agency and the Texas attorney general’s office have argued in defense of the lawsuit that the agency should not be held responsible for the stillbirth and that it is not clear the fetus had rights as a person. Both entities advance those positions despite consistent arguments made in lockstep by the attorney general’s office and Texas legislators that “unborn children” should be recognized as people starting at fertilization.

Pro-life but only when it benefits them.

If you fall for a social media prank, do you reblog/pass it on to your followers?

Update from the WGA on negotiations

if you’re jewish and need to take time off from work for the high holidays here’s your reminder to request time off now so you don’t forget

signal booooost

So you can’t just catch Sunkern in platinum huh? You have to use the Poké Rader? Okay I guess I’m going to have to edit a rom to change that

I usually wouldn’t touch anything other than the starters but this is a special case

Add that to the list of things I know how to do now I guess

I changed the Starley enounters to Sunkern on the route you would have to use the poke rader on (and then used a walk through walls cheat to get here)

Now to actually start this horrible run, thank you Asph, I will be naming the rival after you

Yup, the windworks is a bitch

Got through it with a second Sunkern with endeavor, a move I have never used before

Grass gym dowm, including the bottom screen from now on to show how close it was

Ghost gym and a rival fight next, then I can go and get Hidden Power and see if that gives me any good types

Actually isn't there a rival fight at the bottom of cycling road?

Oh right

The Eterna Galactic building exists.

I've played this these games hundreds of times, how do I never remember the plot

Gave cut to the third Sunkern on my team because honestly it's not the worst thing I could give it, at least it isn't another grass type move

Oh right, that's why I never remember this part of the game

It was really easy

I have to grind for the ghost gym, haven’t even gotten past the trainers, the mostly have poison and flying types,,,,,,,

Okay I can defeat the trainers now that I have Giga Drain

Now to see if I can actually get anywhere with the actual gym leader

Yeah no her ace two shots my first Sunkern and one shots all the others

Guess I need to get them all up to level 40

This is very painful grind

Not just because it’s slow, but also because my neck hurts for some reason

I am free from ghost gym hell. It only took two level 41 Sunkerns with Giga Drain and a Level 30-something one with Sunny Day to boost their special attack

Time for the rival fight I usually forget about

Okay that wasn't too bad, only took three attempts

Fun fact: This is main grinding spot after the third gym

I have murdered these teams more times than I can count

Hhhhh, not the most helpful hidden powers

Ice, Fire, and Rock might have use but I doubt the other three will

Could always catch more but then I have to train more Sunkerns,,,,,,,,

There we go, updated their names to make it easier if I do teach them all Hidden Power

Or give it to any of them, haven't actually used it yet

Have to grind for the rival fight in front of the next gym

I'm fighting these two over and over again because they both give 4000 money each win and thus I will be able to buy more TMs for Hidden Power

Having a full team of level 45-ish Sunkern isn’t enough so I need to continue grinding up to level 50 :)

About 48 hours later and I'm finally past this horrible fight

I do not look forward to the next one

This gym should be easy though

Took two tries

Floatzel is a bitch

Nothing new was learnt today

For the first time ever the Cyrus fight in Celestic Town is actually an issue

He opens with a Sneasle is faster than me and uses ice punch

Gonna quickly run and get the quick claw I forgot to pick up at the start of the game and see if Fightkern can do anything to it with some RNG luck

._. back to grinding I guess

Took four attempts and had to get my team to level 60 (using rare candy cheats, I have maxed EVs already and would like to be done with this run one day) the worst rival fight next

Level 70

Really

I don't see me being able to beat Cynthia honestly

Wow, okay, Firekern swept that entire gym like it was nothing

That's been the first easy fight since the Eterna Galactic Building

7th gym down. Knew Firekern wouldn't stuggle with it at all, to the point of not even bothering to clear my HM slaves away to make room for the Steelkerns

Galactic HQ done, now to go to hell I guess

That truly was hell, lost count of the number of attempts but I had to get the four Sunkern I had on me up to level 90

Time to run from the devil itself and go cure a guy's depression

Also, Cyrus, you literally gave me the master ball, you know I can catch it if I wanted to

Depression cured, all gyms completed, last one was surprisingly hard so I don't look forward to the elite four

Oh hey, a shiny, time to kill it :)

I will never understand why this fight is easier than the one before the 6th gym

Forgot to take a screenshot but I defeated Aaron

Only had to get to level 100

Fuck

Bertha was as easy as you'd expect, the battle took less than a minute

Now for fire,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

NEVERMIND HE TOOK HIMSELF OUT WITH FLARE BLITZ ON TWO DIFFERENT POKEMON

Next one should be easy with Ice Hidden Power so I guess it'll come down to Cynthia

Oh right. It's not dragon. It's psychic.

Uhhhhhh, Return maybe?

That was a lot closer

Onto Cynthia

After I heal

And there we have it :)

Honestly didn't think it would be possible

Don't talk to me or my sons ever again

far too old to care about fandom opinions i am an adult with a *sees a take* hm. never mind actually. i am in fact so blessed to have a huge brain and correct inconsequential opinions on fictional characters. there but for the grace of god go i

There's a reason the state starts by going after the people you refuse to respect

Fuckin iowa jesus christ. And fucking republicans in general

Please notice that the wording they use has shifted from "marriage between one man and one woman" to "marriage between one male and one female". This is not a coincidence. GCs and terfs have no excuse to not see the blood on their hands.
