Gaze Deep Into Shadow

For the Covid-19 false-equivalency crowd.

[Image ID: A screenshot of an interaction on Facebook. The original poster stated: “Cancer and heart disease EACH killed more people in the US last year than Covid.” 

There are two responses to the post. The first says “Yea, but it’s not other peoples’ fault if I get heart disease or cancer. Its on me. Covid is spreadable.”

The second response says “Heart disease is a blanket term for a cluster of approximately 30 deadly illnesses. Cancer is a blanket term for a cluster of over 100 separate diseases. Another common comparison is Flu, which is a blanket term for about 60 different illnesses.

Covid-19 is one disease. No single strain of Flu, no single type of heart disease, and no individual cancer come close to the casualty rate of Covid.

The sort of comparison you’re making is called an ecological fallacy. Which means you’re comparing statistics across two very different and incompatible levels of analysis. A comparable would be if I said “Wow, New York has a lot of people.” And you replied “Actually, Asia has a lot more people than New York.” Technically true, but you’re comparing city to continent which is fucking dumb. Same thing if you compare 1 disease to a group of 100.

But that’s the thing. Covid is so fucking bad that people who don’t realize this have a natural compulsion to compare it to something like cancer. That’s how many people it’s killing, that it’s in the same ballpark as as all 100+ cancers or all 30+ heart diseases COMBINED.”

why is it always a male character going mad avenging his dead wife and never a female character cradling her dying pure of heart husband in her arms then dragging the whole world down with her

First of all, this is a very clever use of this gif. Secondly, fuck you.

Hey tumblr friends, in case I haven't told you lately, I have no idea what the FUCK half of you are on about and I WISH I didn't know what the rest of you are on about. Great work. Keep it up.

"I don't know half of you half as well as I'd like and I don't like half of you half as much as I should"

I believe that's what sir Bilbo Baggins said in that scene.

Transcript: Yesterday my cousin said that my rooster wasn't a real rooster. He said he's a Walmart rooster. *chicken noises* Does this not look like a real rooster to you? *chicken makes a sound again* Sure, he's small, but he has feelings.

a griffin inspired by the one from Son of the White Mare (1981)

[ID: a papercut illustration of a light blue griffin with pink wings on a navy background. The griffin’s face resembles a sun, with the left half being light blue and the right half shaded in dark blue. The griffin is on all fours, with a long neck covered in stars. There are three white birds with orange eyes flying in an arc over the griffin’s back. The griffin stands on an orange starburst shape on a yellow horizon.]

Da’anzho, I really need help paying my rent on time in 9 days to keep myself and my lovely kitty housed.
