Compare paychecks with you co-workers. It is the best way to get equality.
In the USA it is illegal for them to even ASK you not to talk about your wages
Everybody’s like oh why do the bird people in Zelda eat poultry and the fish people eat fish but humans eat mammals so
Like you think the humanoid fish people are the same species as a trout? No.
Again, we eat other mammals. Imagine a bird man seeing you eat beef and gasping and you’re like what and he’s like I didn’t know you did that and then you gesture to the whole ass roast chicken he’s eating
Tumblr you have the opportunity to be the funniest bitch on the planet rn and set a reward for looking at more than 600 posts in a day
Guess what?
See THIS is what they should be doing about the "average tumblr user only sees 25 posts a day" statistic (if it's even true), not trying to turn this site into Twitter For People Who Don't Like Twitter
I think one of the reasons why tree law is so popular and people are so enthusiastic about it is because a big, old tree being killed feels so awful. You've got something that took years or decades to get that big, that provides so many benefits, and then it's just...gone and irreplaceable. Of course people are like oh boy, you didn't think that thing was valuable and now the law is gonna come for you and you're gonna regret it.
And it feels like one of the few cases where the rich (not the mega rich, but the regular rich) actually get held to account for their crimes, because the punishment is designed to match the actual damage they do. You cut down a bunch of your neighbor's trees to make your property more valuable? The punishment is basically the cost of your property.
So turns out…..you guys are not gonna believe this…….but it turns out. Reading real books. Is good for you actually.
Let me be completely clear - I’m not being a sarcastic ass. I’m just realizing all over again, in real time, for myself, that reading a real life published book makes your neurons feel like they’re getting a spa day. Like I can feel my brain getting juicer and wrinklier with every page I turn. This shit is no joke, this is like hard drugs if hard drugs were good for you and made your brain feel revived and alive.
@7redmoon nothing against some good fanfic, I’m a fic author myself, but there’s something very necessary and mentally nourishing about reading a published book that isn’t just a recycled version of the same cast of characters you’re already familiar with.
get off my dick
oh youre being funny? youre making fun of twitter? youre soooooooo fucking funny. youre copying their layout and trying to appeal to their usebase but youre gonna make fun of it? youre going to drive away your loyal userbase because you cant make money off them in the same way that you can the ex-twitter userbase? youre SO fucking funny. youre SO ironic. did you appeal to the 7 year old ipad babies? did you get the clicks on your ads that severely limit your scrolling time? do you feel better about yourselves? im driving to your houses.
words of power do exist…. i can walk out of my apartment wearing the most fuck shit, e.g. swim trunks as shorts w a zipped up hoodie and no shirt underneath, and just say the words “laundry day” and suddenly it’s way less weird
“laundry day” spell: decreases target’s judgment of outfit by 80%
I picked up a banana print shirt in Vietnam - were talkin LOUD - and the first time someone commented on it I said “It’s banana shirt friday” which stunlocked them and blocked any followup questions.
Turns out that saying “it’s banana shirt friday” enough actually created a holiday at my office where everyone would wear fruit print clothes on fridays! So yes, words of power exist. :)

How the media depicts the Apollo 11 mission:
Actual quotes from the Apollo 11 mission:
otto-woods
also according to michael collins when the three of them were discussing what neil armstrong should say when he first stepped on the moon, collins suggested armstrong say “Oh, my God, what is that thing?” and then scream and cut out his mic.
Everyone forgets Michael Collins and it’s fucking tragic.
i like to think that when meg is at camp she sacrifices food to apollo instead of demeter. but not like good food. like, you know those blueberries that are all shriveled up. things like that. or a waffle she accidentally spilled water on. and she always says it’s for lester papadopolous
I am an orange skittle eater (how could you not like orange skittle💔)… Do you perhaps like lime skittles. If so we can trade…

Rlly love that Star Trek and Star Wars are aptly named to show EXACTLY what is different about them, but people only focus on the “star” part and therefore assume they’re comparable.
Star WARS: This is WAR so we have GLOW SWORDS and CLONES and we SHOOT each other with magic FORCE that we control with our fucking MINDS. Epic BATTLES and political CONFLICT. I love CRIME I am a CRIMINAL bitchessssss also this is my robot friend.
Star TREK: ah, yes, we’re going to trek through space. I brought these biological samples. take a little jaunt. discover a species. have an expedition. here’s a cool rock. this is just a wee hike to the next galaxy. I just released an immortal entity from eternal suffering. isn’t this a lovely trip we’re having. oh and this is my robot friend.
Could you tell us more abt ur au where Apollo doesn’t come back exactly right after surviving being so close to chaos 👀
Yes!! Actually I had a fic that I really wanted to write about this, and I am planning on still doing that but I will tell y'all the gist of it bc I cannot contain myself. (Also this is a bit different from some of the things I've said before about this so I hope you still like it lol)
Ok so, the fic was gonna be a 5 + 1 fic, where Meg and Apollo both realize that something's ... off about him after the trials. His powers and abilities are fluctuating fore seemingly no reason. Sometimes he's just a normal god, but sometimes it's like he's still a mortal. And he's also having times where he's way stronger than a god should be, like, near primordial levels. It's causing him a lot of issues, for example:
- Gods don't need to eat or sleep, but mortals do. If Apollo doesn't realize his energy levels are going down, he will just end up crashing from lack of food/sleep. This leaves him perpetually exhausted and shaky.
- His blood is now all kinds of crazy colors, and it changes based off of where he is on the mortal/immortal scale.
- When he's in a "mortal" state of being, he's pretty similar to a demigod. Meg and Apollo learned this when Apollo accidentally did some lightning bending one day. This is not something Apollo has ever wanted to be able to do, and he freaks out appropriately.
- One day, Apollo woke up sick and tired of this whole situation. He jokingly wished that someone else could just take over the sun for the day. However, Apollo hadn't realized that he had just gotten a huge power boost overnight, and his harmless little wish just created a second sun. Haha whoops.
Eventually, Apollo ends up breaking his father's rules and visiting Asclepius just so he can get some answers about this, so here's a little rough comic based on the scene I wanted to write explaining this whole mess.
Posting this iconic piece of media that I just NEVER found online isolated except in an archived reddit thread
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUNNY! now to go back to your to your roots, any polldona headcanons?
Lol also late to this ask, but you are right I need to return to my polldona roots, so here are some fun polldona facts.
- Most people don't think Apollo and AoD are dating, bc all they do is insult each other lovingly in public. Artemis asks Apollo what he's doing that night and he's like "ugh, my stupid arrow wants to go the new production of Much Ado About Nothing, so I'm booked." And then eventually Artemis is like "Apollo why do you keep hanging out with this person if you hate them" and Apollo is like "Artemis don't talk about the love of my life like that."
- Btw, "my stupid arrow" is a pet name.
- They have nicer pet names for each other tho! Apollo calls AoD every name under the sun (In one notable incident, Apollo accidentally called AoD babydoll ... and AoD actually got flustered. They deny it to this day, but Apollo swears it's their favorite petname)
- AoD calls Apollo "Starlight" and it makes him light up everytime.
- When AoD is actually trying to woo Apollo, without any sarcasm or banter, they basically turn into every ghibli hearthrob you've ever seen. This is an extremely successful tactic.
- AoD and Apollo work together to keep an eye on all the oracles, to make sure something like the trials never happens again. Everytime they pass through the Grove of Dodona, Apollo takes the time to loudly and obnoxiously brag on their partner.
- There are notebooks full of songs Apollo has written for AoD, and a whole other set of notebooks full of prose AoD has written for Apollo. None of these notebooks will ever see the light of day, as they are so sappy they could probably give someone a heart attack.
- And here's a little doodle of them because I love them.
everyone suddenly getting hyped about r/place is. Hm. like, if i told you i wrote gullible on the ceiling, would you look up?
like, literally a month ago everyone was like ‘reddit sucks!! blackouts!! boycott reddit!! everyone’s moving to tumblr!!’ and now reddit brings back r/place specifically to attract people back to the platform and… everyone is just falling for it? ignore that shit! just ignore it! i don’t care if there’s cute mcyt drawings on it or you want to help make your country’s flags or whatever! reddit lets you draw with pixels again and suddenly we’re all just cool with it??? can we all just think for two seconds about this
Currently people are working to cover the canvas in "Fuck Spez" (Spez is the Reddit CEO and blacking out the canvas as a protest, if you really want to participate in r/place I'd recommend joining the protest.
It's so noticeable that it's already started getting media attention, and it prevents Reddit from using this as a "oh look how fun and creative our communities are" sort of thing.
So yeah, take their canvas and make sure that they can't show it off to investors or anything because it's covered in a message telling the CEO to fuck off.
