This blog is for quick, not tagged reblogs. I can tag by request but if you want to avoid spoilers for topics I reblog about, I recommend blocking this account.

Tags I occasionally use:

Check out #fic rec for fics that I think are definitely worth the read!

#for the love of god filter this tag is for obscenely long stuff that you probably don’t want to see (longer than #long post which I usually forget since I don’t filter it)

#for rainy days is stuff to cheer me up when I’m sad, so check it out for wholesome content

#tumblr history is for history about tumblr and also history shared/taught on tumblr. Random strangers on the internet with no verifiable credentials might be right and might be able to teach you things. But they might be wrong (or just lying) too, so any claims or lessons learned on tumblr (or any social media) should be checked against other sources.

If I have reblogged your post and didn’t say anything: rest assured. It is one of the above: beautiful and I am in awe, funny and I laughed, cute and made me smile. Sometimes I’m not up to commenting but I would rather reblog without saying something than not reblog at all and deprive people of your awesome post.

since I'm paying more attention to drac daily stuff this year I'm seeing a lot of posts saying "scholars always get the book wrong" and guys, ya gotta read better scholarship. poke around on jstor and google scholar for publications from the last ~15 years. see if you can find queer / feminist / postcolonial centered journals with online public archives. find a writer you agree with and see who else they cite. I prommy that academics are not your enemy and a lot of them are in their line of work precisely because they're just as not normal about their blorbos as you are. hashtag don't turn this into another "historians will say they're just friends."

Okay, so I'm not calling out the OP of the post bc I firmly believe in assuming good intentions, but there's a post going around with over 150,000 notes that just. When you know how misinformative it is, it really comes across badly.

Okay, so I went through the notes and check the subs out some and this is a breakdown of every sub on the post, in the originally listed order. Just keep in mind comment farming is widely disallowed and if you're banned you're likely to be sent to the universal scammer sub.

  • /r/Assistance - requires 60 days of regular activity, 400+ comment karma required, 18+ user age requirement, one account per household
  • /r/legaladvice - seemingly run by cops who delete actually helpful legal advice
  • /r/Randomkindness - for gifts only, fundraising explicitly banned
  • /r/Charity - account must be 30 days old, 300+ comment karma required, primarily for charitable foundations as opposed to personal funding, no personal cashapp, paypool + gfm allowed
  • /r/care - email must be verified by reddit, account must be 6 months old, 100 karma required, financial and material requests require you to put your "city,state,country" on the post.
  • /r/Random_Acts_Of_Pizza - request pizza every 3 months, account must be 90 days old, 400+ comment karma, 18+ user age restriction
  • /r/Food_Pantry - requesting food, no takeout or delivery (relavent for food deserts), account must be 180 days old, 500 comment karma required, 90 days of regular activity, explicitly bans fundraising
  • /r/RandomActsOfPetFood - request pet food once every month, account must be 90 days old, 500+ comment karma, 90 days of regular activity in multiple subreddits required, explicitly bans fundraising
  • /r/RandomActsOfChristmas - private for most of the year, Christmas gifts for children
  • /r/almosthomeless - explicitly bans fundraising
  • /r/homeless - explicitly bans fundraising
  • /r/freelance - no hiring or soliciting, no self promotion
  • /r/povertyfinance - explicitly bans fundraising
  • /r/thrify - advice specific
  • /r/borrow - PRIMARILY LOANSHARKS, no links/gfm, must post your city,state,country to request, account must be 90 days old, 1,000+ combined karma requirement, one request per household
  • /r/gofundme - crowdfinding sites only, 250+ comment karma required, account must be 90 days old
  • /r/depression - advice
  • /r/familysupport - inactive
  • /r/transitions - inactive

I've color coded the list, red for no assistance available, green for assistance offered, blue for food assistance, and white for ultra specific assistance. I'm sure this list is partially useful for very active reddit users. But some of these suggestions are just ridiculous.

So yeah, idk like don't be this kind of person, don't reblog this kind of shit without checking it out yourself. It's condescending.

Jazz, the best character!!!, i'm not sure i drew her before, if i didn't, well...that's worst crime i ever done in my life!

as experimental artist, i really had fun and pain for this one!, for me is lil bit risky because i had to drew it like three times, and fourth one is become final result and BEHOLD!!!

made with ink, markers, pen and colored pencils!

If companies are allowed to sue you for losses during a strike, there is now no longer an incentive to not simply burn down your place of work.

For most people, there's really no difference between say, 15,000$ of debt, and 200,000$ of debt. They are equally life-ruining sums of money. Why not, you know, leave that gas stove on? Cost the company some real money? Maybe if it happens enough times they won't be able to buy insurance.

That is the saddest and funniest shit I have ever seen

The cat is right-pawed and I’m laughing too hard about this.

this is actually really interesting because despite not actually having that limb the cat is still able to communicate exactly what it’s trying to (which seems to be “don’t touch this cup” or “this is my box”). the other cats respond to its gesturing because they recognize what it’s saying (you can see them pull their heads back or bat their own paws in response). most of the time when cats tell each other to stop doing something they aren’t actually using any real force–it’s just a gentle bop. the hitting isn’t really the point!

i actually do a version of this with my own cats all the time. i never hit them but i’ll wave a hand at them to say “no stop it” and they understand fully despite the fact that i never make physical contact with them.

this cat may be disabled but it is perfectly capable of telling its friends and family to step the fuck off

Its all “i love putting guys in situations” until were on a filler episode. Where are the REAL putting guys in situations lovers.

“It dosent progress the plot!!!” Have you never been on a whimsical journey that did nothing to change you as a person.

im sorry the what

this one

the current meme is based on the following which is based on that one

which i assume is from tumblr based on how one of the panels is lifted from that "its ok i am a lesbo" picture

So the timeline is

- I am lesbo

- I'm stuff

- i am lesbo x I'm stuff fusion

- transfem Jonathan and transmasc mavis

as far as anyone can tell this is the original “I am a lesbo” image, for the record

I'm sobbing oh my god

I heard...now don't shoot the messenger but this is the og I am gay tho

Why the fuck is it woody and bolt

WHY THE FUCK IS IT WOODY AND BOLT

Wait why does Dracula refer Joanne as *his* daughter?

if your child marries someone, that partner becomes your daughter-in-law or son-in-law.

Violet Beauregarde should‘ve won Wonka’s chocolate factory

Have I watched the movie in the last decade or more? No. Do I have iron clad evidence to support my argument? Yes.

1. She’s the most knowledgeable about candy. She’s committed to it, and knows her stuff. When Wonka holds up a little yellow piece across the room, she recognizes it immediately. She was able to switch to candy bars for the sake of the contest, so we know she has personal discipline and is goal oriented. Also, two major projects play directly into her strong suits: the 3-course-meal gum that Wonka failed to make safe (gum) and the neverending gobstopper (longevity).

2. She’s the most fit to run a business. Violet is competitive, determined, hard working, and willing to take risks. Her father is a small town car salesman and politician, so she could easily pick up knowledge and support from him. (Veruca’s dad is also a business man, and in a compatible market (nuts), but it’s made very clear that Veruca has no respect or knowledge of business practices or hard work.)

3. She’s the most sympathetic to the Oompa Loompas. She critiques Veruca when Veruca demands to buy one. More importantly, Wonka has been testing the 3-course-meal gum that ‘always goes wrong’ on Oompa Loompas while he presumably just watches. Violet is ready to put herself on the front line, instead of treating the Oompa Loompas as disposable, and would therefore be a better boss.

4. Her personality ‘flaw’ is the most fitting for the company. In the moralizing Oompa Loompa song, they just say ‘gum is pretty cool, but it’s not socially acceptable to chew it all day‘. The thing is, we already know that she can stop if she wants, because she already did that to win the golden ticket. And yeah, she is defensive about the perceived impoliteness of her hobby (like when her mother tries to shame her about her habit during a televised interview) but the obsession with candy and neglect of social norms is EXACTLY what Wonka is all about. This is on brand.

5. Her misstep in the factory is reasonable. Wonka shows everyone a candy he’s very proud of. Violet is like “oh sick, that’s gum, my special interest.” Wonka then pulls a “WRONG! It’s amazing gum!” In the very moments before she takes the gum Wonka has mislead her just to belittle her. So when he’s like “I wouldn’t do that” why should she give a shit what he has to say? She’s not like Charlie over here who’s all “Sure Gramps, let’s stay behind while the tour leaves and secretly drink this thing that has been explicitly stated to fill you with gas and is too powerful for safe consumption, oh and also I just saw what happened to Violet so I actually KNOW what this stuff can be capable of” Also, Violet is not selfish about her experience, she tells everyone what she’s tasting and feeling, and everyone is eager to hear it. Taking a personal risk to share knowledge with everyone. Violet is Prometheus: fact.

So Augustus contaminates the chocolate river. Charlie sneaks around and contaminates the vent walls. Veruca destroys and disrupts the workspace. Mike knows exactly what will happen to him and transports/shrinks himself deliberately. Violet had no idea what the gum could potentially do to her, and caused no harm to anyone or anything but herself.

Lastly: Can you imagine Charlie filling Wonka’s shoes? That passive, naive boy? Violet is already basically Wonka. She’s passionate, sarcastic, candy-obsessed, free thinking, and a total firecracker. She’s even better than Wonka, because she doesn’t endanger others.

Violet should’ve been picked to inherit the chocolate factory.
