I keep having to tear down extremely predatory/misleading Scien.tology flyers in my school's art building. This is the third fucking time I've ripped the fuckers up and I'm getting Real Fucking Tired of it.

If you see shit like this DO NOT call the number, do not do anything to interact with these fucking people. Take down the posters if you're able to. They do NOT want to help you. They are a literal fucking cult who openly despise psychology and any actual proven mental health science, and are actively trying to trick mentally/emotionally vulnerable people into joining.

The red flags here are "Hubbard," the name of their founder, and "dianetics," the crackpot theory they teach for "auditing" your sins from your past lives.

I’d like to add what @jaspertheshark said in the tags because I feel it’s important

he just want apple :( 

SakuHina Week Day 3: Fantasy AU!! The prompts are so cute and this one was my favorite to make!

This is necessary information

STEP SEVEN: Join em!

Adulthood is lonely in itself. Community is harder to find. Fuck you if you try to stop us from trying to find some help.

Cannot believe I am seeing people getting their tits bent out of joint about a man taking his daughter into a women's room. That shit was like, completely normal when I was a kid. We really have taken a flying leap backwards as a society into the Cootie Zone

"Men don't belong in the women's room" is in fact a subordinate social imperative to "children should be kept an eye on so they don't get hurt" and especially when you're talking about a toddler, most men's rooms don't have changing stations or suchlike. Morons

It should really not go without comment that afaik this is a black man taking care of his daughter, racism is a factor in people making a big stink about this and I'm not really gonna let the ~daughters of the witches you couldn't burn~ forget that their actual grandmothers probably got pissy about integrated washrooms

Told my manager yesterday that instead of doing a Barbie-Oppenheimer showing I wanted to do a Barbie-Tmnt one to which she excitedly went “omg instead of Barbenheimer you’re doing Barbenturts :D” and Barbenturts may be my favorite thing ever

This stupid exchange between friends has become a cultural icon.

This text thread brought us into a new age

This would also be a great villain origin story

Like if the uwu person somehow managed to get away at the last minute? Oh sweet lord imagine the havoc they would wreak

There would be nothing anyone could say, nothing anyone could do, no amount of heartstrings you could pull to gain their mercy because they were The most cutesy, cloying thing imaginable and still they faced death. Literally no amount of begging would get them to stop whatever they were planning. The entire earth would crumble under the thumb of this adorable monster

“OWO :3” would become the most frightening thing anyone could imagine for multiple generations

Maybe be nice to the cutesy ones 😅 you never know

East Asian fanartists are starting to migrate back to Tumblr because Twitter is insane, toxic, and dying, and what we're NOT going to do is let the fucking exclusionists get them, do you hear me? We are not going to let a bunch of feral idiots try to apply the most myopic version of puritanism to foreign artists we're not we're not we're not. Form an armed brigade if you have to, do you hear me. We're not going to bully the artists who may or may not even speak English because we have our precious standards of moral purity. If we see art that makes us uncomfy we're going to block the artist and tumblr savior their name so we don't have to see them again AND WE'RE GONNA MOVE THE FUCK ON.

Important note for mobile users, you don't actually need tumblrsavior to do this!

All you need to do is go to your account settings, scroll to "Filtered post content" and input their username. This will filter

I always thought this option was common knowledge, but apparently it's not..? It's especially useful since new users and artists who don't speak english are notoriously inconsistent about tagging, which normally means their posts slip between the cracks with the "filter tags" settings.

Another thing I recently realized you should do is look up the translation of various ship names in other writing systems, since they might not use the english equivalent. Also, remember that depending on character dynamic and "who tops", the order of the names in the shipname gets swapped! So you actually have to block two tags per ship. Alright happy filtering MWAH!!

#not sure how related to the post this is so I'm leaving it in the tags#but CP is a common abbreviation for the word ''couple'' over in Chinese and Japanese corners of the Internet#maybe some other languages too#point is it does not mean child porn#so we're clear#discourse

This is important enough to not only get peer reviewed but that I wish it had its own post with a thousand reblogs honestly.

“unalive myself” “grippy socks visit to the hospital” “corn addicts” talk like a fucking grown up. seriously.

"Gen z slang came about by cowtowing to algorithms made by large corporations and ad execs, that is SO PUNK compared to millenial slang which is about being individually unique."

Modern "punks" have no idea what punk stands for. In other, more surprising news, water is wet. More on this at 11.

Seriously though, kids these days are so eager to lick boot and call it rebellion. If you say unalive instead of kill because you'll lose your funding, congratz, you let them censor you. "They'lltake away our revenue!" And? Rebellion comes with consequences, change is a fight, protecting your values comes at a cost.

If you never pull at the leash, it doesn't matter how much you bark, you're still going where they want you to.

Diabetes isnt the 'ate too many sweets disease'. It just fucking is not. It's your body slowly losing an integral function needed to nuture and energize it. Its your pancreas shutting down, its your blood cells rejecting your attempts to feed itself, its not enough insulin to go around. Its you slowly getting colder and weaker, gorging yourself with healthy food and getting next to no benefit, its being so exhausted you cant sleep. Diabetes used to kill, straight-up KILL. So no, I don't think I will be laughing at your diabetes joke.

Do you know why diabetics eat so many sweets? Because we need sugar, and we need sugar FAST. Everyones' bodies rely on sugars for nutrients and energy, and in a non-diabetic body sugars get absorbed at a normal rate using your normal amount of insulin into your normal red blood cells. This happens to healthy carbs, superfood vegetables, and some proteins!

Diabetics dont have that luxury! Without medication, our body is in a constant crisis where we need more sugar and the sugars that break down the fastest are sweets! But then they dont all get absorbed, then the unabsorbed sugar hangs out in our bloodstream then gets flushed out, and then we still need more. All those healthy things break down too slowly for when we're in a crisis, and then we STILL dont absorb all of it! And I'm only talking about type 2, type 1 cant absorb anything at all because they dont have any insulin!

You cannot healthy eat or diet your way out of diabetes. You cannot lose weight out of diabetes. Once you get diabetes, even if you manage your symptoms perfectly you HAVE diabetes. You have a chronic illness. And that means its time to see doctors, get on medications, and practice self care.

And sometimes self care means you eat dessert first while dinner is cooking so you have the energy to finish cooking. Sometimes that means eating many small meals to match your body's absorption rate. Sometimes that means eating at midnight so you have the blood sugar to sleep.

Im just tired of diabetes being seen as a joke or only something you get if you're 'bad'. And diabetics? I love you, talk to a nutritionist about diabetic eating, and don't forget your meds.

make a significant number of your friends upset with you by telling them about the aerosol pancake batter in a can, subtitle: you're not ready for it to be named That.

g'mornin'

Your roommate is so bad at pretending to be a human, you’ve started to just automatically back him up in public. Tonight he tells you how nice it is to know the only other alien in the city, and you have to break the bad news

This is basically what my physical therapist had me do for my back problems last year and it helped with the pain so much! Also walk for at least thirty minutes a day, even if it's just in small chunks throughout the day.

man yall the interpersonal drama in ancient rome was something else like. there was a guy named crassus who had a pet eel and was so sad when it died that he gave it a funeral, and when another dude named domitius ahenobarbus made fun of him for throwing an eel funeral, crassus was like "oh so this is coming from the guy who's buried three of his wives and not even shed a single tear about it." wish i could've been in the room for that one
