Apparently bios are malfunctioning for some folks, so in case you can't see my bio right now, Hi I'm Ash I'm 23 and use they/them pronouns. If you want me to tag something let me know and I'll try my best but I have poor memory and will fuck up so if that's a deal breaker for you it's best to just not follow me. I rarely ever look into blogs involved in a post and focus more on the content of the post. All this said minors this bits for you. My blog is not inherently minor friendly I wont be reblogging porn or anything of that sort but I will be reblogging mature conversations and adult humour. I am going to trust y'all to use your brains, if I was reblogging porn or smut this would be a different story and y'all would be blocked on sight. on that topic I block liberally it's nothing personal (unless your an asshole in which case I probably saw you acting like an asshole and decided I didn't want that in my life) it's just how I moderate my online experience to be healthy for me and I encourage everyone else to do the same(especially minors please if you see something you don't want to see block the tag and or the person involved I've been online since I was relatively young and occasionally I saw things that freaked me out I left the spaces I saw those in and never went back and that's how I stayed safe on the internet) on a final note for any minors who might read this, as someone who spends a lot of time lurking in fandom spaces and has seen a rise in this behaviour if anyone and I mean anyone of any age fellow minor or an adult tells you they are part of the safe ones to interact with or worse one of the only safe ones to interact with run in the opposite direction so fast there are to many people in those spaces trying to use perceived safeness to get way to close to minors if an adult ever discusses anything 18+ with you stop talking to them immediately and tell a trusted person, please be safe the internet is simultaneously safer and more dangerous than it used to be use your head use your common sense and be safe.
They’re about to break so many laws it’s not even funny, I can feel it in my bones
It’s about PayPal. This is all about fucking PayPal
He’s still pissed they fired him. He’s still pissed they didn’t like his idea of calling PayPal X
20 years and he has not learned a single thing. He’s still throwing a tantrum about people not liking his bad name suggestion decades ago
Hey Ron DeSantis hows your presidential campaign going?
For some clarification. The icon in the background is known as the Black Sun.
Nowadays it is heavily used by the extreme rightwing people.
It’s used by Nazis. not just “extreme rightwing people” actual real neo-Nazis
I adore when my mum and I agree independently on pet care stuff. Our boy has to go on a urinary healthy food and I was preparing myself to have to explain why we should try to at least get a mix of wet and dry food but she already thinks that's the best course of action... Now we just have to find somewhere local that carries it in wet food, might have to ask if the one pet store can get it in for us otherwise we'll have to go through the local vet clinic who we usually avoid because they are more expensive than all the other places.
Have some pics of the boy in question, he was sick two weeks ago and the urine sample we sent out came back with signs of crystals in the urine so now he needs special food.
In honour of disability pride month, we made a disability Pride Knight! Stay proud! ⚔️🌈
BEAUTIFUL!!
If ever there was a paragraph that described Canadian-Brand Racist Jackassetry, THIS IS VERY IT.
‘When you believe niceness disproves the presence of racism, it’s easy to start believing bigotry is rare, and that the label racist should be applied only to mean-spirited, intentional acts of discrimination. The problem with this framework–besides being a gross misunderstanding of how racism operates in systems and structures enabled by nice people–is that it obligates me to be nice in return, rather than truthful. I am expected to come closer to racists. Be nicer to them. Coddle them.’
It’s so good to see this articulated!
They may be Nice and they may be Polite but they are not good and they are not kind.
my controversial opinion is that real progress in the north won't be achieved until the world decides to consider the native irish people a white indigenous population like the sámi
the decision to call the fighting here "catholic vs protestant" is literally to make it seem like a religious disagreement rather than a fight between the native people of the land and their colonizing oppressors
the complete lack of infrastructure in primarily irish areas as well as the total suppression of the irish language should genuinely be considered a human rights abuse internationally. why isn't it?
it is insane how fucking tiny these buttons are did they not like. consider the concept of UI scaling like at all. did they not consider what theyd do if someone had a big monitor. what is this shit
why asre there two post buttons. why do i get little numbers next to 'home' and 'following' when btoh are giving me the exact same information. why is it that when you open the account view you have the exact same information on both sides of your screen. why is it that the activity popup obscuires the dashboard now instead of the 1000000 miles of empty space on my god damn desktop. did they not consider the concept of UI scaling at all?????
when i first saw people p[ostp about this i thought maybe they were overreacting because they hate twitter and change but like. whatever you think abotu the concept of 'putting all this shit on the left side of your screen' as a bold UI innovation or whatever in concept this shit is like. just straight up unfinished. like i legitimately dont understand how this was considered ready to roll out to users
why does the activity popup open on the ONE part of my screen i DONT want to be obscured when im using tumblr dot com!!
no seriously why is this information displayed twice one inch apart. im not being snarky when i say this genuinely just seems actually unfinished
dont talk to me or my three (3) 'activity' buttons that show up when you're already on the activity page ever again
"Dont drink coffee after 2 PM" is such a neurotypical issue that sounds made up. Such a thing couldnt happen to me, ADHD Georg, who has coffee past 9:30 PM and can still fall asleep freely because I have a natural toxicity resistance to caffeine.
"OooOooOoOh I cant haev cofee so late otherwise I'll be up all night" sounds like a skill issue
real like melatonin exists you fools?? it doesn't work for everyone but it does for most people, just be like me and take some whenever you wanna sleep. it doesn't matter if I shotgunned an energy drink an hour before, Melatonin Works every time (for me). your puritanical refusal to take Any drugs whatsoever is ruining your time on this earth. better living through chemicals babey
I support you and am jealous but nothing has ever worked less for me than melatonin. Some people swear by it but I might as well be swallowing air. I can take ten and sit there for hours like I just took sugar pills. 😭
Damn, missed it again
Happy Bog Day!
Happy Bog Day everyone!!!
lol this post:
It's amazing to me just how good the Mormon church has been at hiding just how bad they really are from public view. Even the shit that gets spread around is the relatively harmless bullshit. They had a crazy prophet with magic glasses. They believe in god-mandated polygyny. They think everyone who is good enough will get their very own planet after the world ends. They wear magic underpants. Mormon men are all paladins.
Here's one of the ones you hear less often:
See, like many other Christian sects, the Mormons really do believe that the existence of Christ obviates the existence of Judaism. Judaism was just a placeholder until the "real" church could be established by Jesus.
And the Mormons in particular believe, dead ass, that the entire inheritance of Israel has been given to them, because the Jews failed to recognize the Messiah when he was on Earth. They really do. They have this whole system where people are given a "divine revelation" about which of the Tribes of Israel they're a member of (don't worry, they decided that most people belong to the two tribes that are willing to "adopt" people. Only the most specialest boys and girls are members of the original ten).
Let's sum up so far. The Mormons believe that they are the people of Israel, chosen and protected by God. If Jews want to get back in on that party, they can always repent and convert to Mormonism, the one true church to which God gave all the rights and blessings that were originally bestowed on Abraham's house.
But it doesn't stop there!
The Mormons also believe, in all seriousness, that all Indigenous peoples of the Americas are descended from a small group of Jewish people who left just before the fall of Jerusalem (~600 bc iirc). Their entire weird-ass extra bible is a chronicle of those people's history in [unspecific part of America]. At the very beginning of the book, two brothers in the original family turn away from god, so they and all their descendants are cursed with dark skin, so that the good Nephites (who remain "white and delightsome") will always be able to tell themselves apart from the wicked Lamanites.
So, you've got supposedly Jewish people running around the Americas. And the "good" ones are white, and the "bad" ones are brown. Then, ofc, Jesus comes to visit them (I guess supposedly that's part of what he was doing during his dirt nap? Or possibly after he left again, it's not clear), and they all convert to Christianity, which they think is clearly the natural evolution of Judaism. Well, at the end of the book, all of them become wicked, in a kind of weird pseudo-apocalyptic series of events. They are all cursed with dark skin, until such time as they repent for their ancestors sins and return to the gospel.
But of course, Mormons being the good and kind people they are, they want everyone to receive the blessings of God and be brought into the houses of Israel etc etc. And it isn't the fault of those poor little Indigenous children that their distant ancestors turned away from God and became wicked.
So what's the natural answer? Well, Mormons are real big on missionary work, as we all know. But apparently that wasn't enough in this case.
Because the Mormon church has been one of the big players in abducting as many Indigenous children as possible, in order to indoctrinate them into being good Mormons, so that they can turn white again and be blessed. My mother remembers hearing talks about this in the 70s and 80s. The church literally had a "Lamanite Adoption Program," where families in the church were encouraged to get as many Indigenous children as possible away from their families and not let them be reunited until they were fully assimilated and ready to go back and proselytize about how wonderful the church is.
The church leadership literally talked about how wonderful it was to see these children becoming whiter. Actually whiter. Like, saying that when they finally saw them with their families again, it was beautiful how much paler they were.
I'm pretty sure this program has been officially ended, but it doesn't take a genius to speculate about who might be behind the curtains on the movement in the western US to gut the ICWA....
So yeah. Next time someone tries to tell you that the Mormons are just harmless weirdos, please remember that they're an antisemitic cult that advocates for the forced assimilation of Indigenous children to help them escape the cursed brown skin of their ancestors.
Don’t forget the first victims when you go see Oppenheimer this opening weekend. Unforgivable not to include them in the narrative.
We love us some Nolan and Cillian but this is also a story that should never have taken place.
For further reading:
This is what happens when the US government goes nuclear-crazy during the Cold War and mines a shit ton of uranium. Lambs born with three legs and no eyes, and human stillbirths and agonizing deformities for those that survive. For decades it was referred to as a Navajo-specific hereditary illness. No one made the link to the mines and the drinking water.
I’m too tired to get into it, but the new GI doctor is promising. He’s MCAS and EDS knowledgeable (“not an expert but I’ve got a few patients like you, especially after Covid”) and took the time to go through my whole medical history. Like, every last thing, he went through my whole file with a fine tooth comb and listened to everything I had to say with a lot of respect and compassion.
Amusingly, he thought I was a medical professional because I knew a lot and he assumed from my ability to manage my own care over the pandemic I must be either a nurse or a doctor. The look on his face when I said “romance author” was priceless.
After that he toned down some of the medical lingo a bit, but still talked to me like a knowledgeable patient who knew my body best. He even looked at my migraine history and seemed disappointed in the lack of care I’ve received for pain management and said if I give him time he’ll see if there’s anything he can prescribe to help my “everything.”
At the end of the appointment he turned to me and said “normally we refer patients out for the endoscopy and colonoscopy but you’re a complicated case so I want to do it myself to make sure nothing is missed and you are taken care of.”
In the meantime he’s prescribed some antispasmodics and told me to increase my supplements again because I am still too low for his liking. So I’m back on the quadruple dose of b12 again. Hopefully that’ll help with my exhaustion. I’m so tired.
“I thought you were a medical professional” is a whole ass mood.
I love this meme because I think humans 10,000 years ago or 100,000 years ago would also like it
the heat of the fire draws air straight up from the center over the fire. This draws the air in from the sides in a circle around the fire creating an air current, which means air is being blown toward the fire from all sides. When you sit on one side of the fire, it blocks some of the air moving toward the fire from that side. Now there is more air being blown toward the fire from the side opposite you. This pushes the smoke your direction. When you move to the other side, it just makes the same thing happen over there. The smoke actually literally does follow you around no matter where you sit. Because physics.
i will never understand the insane takes against having games be more accessible
“does every game NEED to be accessible to disabled people? 🤨” yeah, actually
also the pissing and shitting over difficulty settings. just play the game on the normal difficulty dumbass it’s not for you
Same with stuff like screen shake, particle effects, flashing/lightning effects: “But the game would look terrible without them!”
Then Just.... Don’t turn them off then, dickface...
Meanwhile, *having the option to turn them off* would greatly increase the number of people able to play the game.
How dare you leave this Jason Todd discourse in the tags.
