very funny to imagine the prehistoric women depicted in "venus figurines" being told they are "morbidly obese" by modern physicians. listen to me neolithic matriarch. you are fat. hunting wild game and knapping flint axes and walking 4 miles a day is not enough exercise. you have prediabetes and need to eat under 1500kcal or you will die. tsk tsk. your sleep hygiene is bad. you look at the fire too much at bedtime

havent seen any good bog bodies around recently. people just dont fall in bogs like they used to anymore

They are hidden beneath the muck/slime. A good bog body needs time to percolate. Can't rush perfection! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

did everyone just forget the time tumblr went scorched earth on a blog for making fun of a staff member for being an hp fan

To be more specific, it was saying "Maybe the Harry Potter fan on staff has something to do with the transmisogyny", to which they did the not at all suspicious response of using never before seen moderation tools to silence said blog and post.

Yeah no.

What ACTUALLY happened is a staff member was violently harassed as a pedophile because they drew HP and anime fanart.

People went batshit calling this woman a child molester, rapist, abuser. They tried to get her fired, tried to get her arrested, threatened her life, by the literal hundreds.

Staff then deleted the blogs of the people who started the harassment, and only them. The hundreds or thousands of dog piling fuckheads were left alone.

Presumably just so they can keep pretending to be the real victims.

You can't keep passing this lie around, people. It never happened.

hi yeah nobody ever said that and linking to yourself is ridiculous. skipper never fucking said any of that he just pointed out the link between being a massive harry potter fan and the rampant terfs on this website.

i don't care what you think and you 100% aren't going to listen to me but people are reblogging from you thinking this is real. it's not. vergess is making this shit up. none of this ever fucking happened stop reblogging it. you can google things.

accusing people of trying to ruin a woman's life for thinking she's a child rapist when none of that ever fucking happened is absolutely batshit behavior and you need serious help for trying so hard to propagate this lie. what the fuck do you even get out of this?

stop reblogging this and look shit up

Love not knowing which panel is supposed to come first

its so fucked up how difficult it is to move to another country you shouldn’t need a reason or anything you should be able to show up at the border and be like “the vibes were off back home” and they should let you in

fun fact about me: When I was 6 years old I sent so much hate mail to the president (the second Bush) that the mail carrier had to tell my mom I needed to stop before we got FBI’d

I was COMPLETELY unaware of the US political scene or why the adults in my life hated Bush, but I knew I hated him because he let people shoot wolves from helicopters and that’s mean and shitty

I also had a poor grasp on how stamps worked, so given that I wasn’t allowed to continually throw money away by putting stamps on my presidential hate mail, a lot of the times I just drew squares with little pictures inside on the corner.

Love, love, love reading more proof that everyone should encourage the children in their lives to write to elected officials--it teaches them about citizenship and can also be very funny.

When I taught second grade, one of the options for students who had finished their work was to write a letter to the president. I would send all of the letters in a big envelope at the end of every month.

Watching my students get more and more frustrated with him (and concerned about his wellbeing) was not the result I'd hoped for when I came up with the idea, but it was kind of hilarious.

See, Obama had a standard packet with information and activities about his dog he'd send in response to letters from very young citizens...and of course his office sent one back to our class every single time we sent mail.

So eventually all of the letters looked something like this:

Dear President Obama,

I am writing about the environment. I am sad that the Great Barrier Reef is hurt. Also the Amazon Rainforest. Can you help? PLEASE DON'T WRITE BACK TO TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DOG AGAIN. WE ALREADY KNOW ALL ABOUT BO. WE COMPLETED THE MAZE AND COLORED HIM IN. It is good that you love your pet a lot. But try to remember the environment. It is also important.

You know what, fuck it, I don't *want* some frivolous, artisanal, lighter-than-air computer with no customizability, no upgradeability, no reparability, no ports, and a lifetime of *maybe* 3 years if you're lucky. I want a fucking great BEAST of a computer that's designed to last a minimum of 50 years, with ports up the wazoo and optional drives for every kind of media! I want modular components that you can drop in a bog for a year, dry them off, and have them still work fine! I want them to make a noise like "ker-chunk!" when you slide them into place! I want a switch that you pull to turn it on! And I don't want software that constantly forces you to get a pointless, cosmetic "upgrade" every few months either! I want durability! I want longevity! I want satisfying haptics! I want Silicon Valley to go fuck itself!

bridget can NOT hoop. she is a 5'2" white woman and will get eaten alive on the court. she bought that jersey for a onlyfans photo shoot she's never worn it outdoors

counter argument: trans women can double jump

2 x 0 = 0

Cashew needed help, and I didn't wanna make her look like a white girl who cut her own bangs lmao

cmon child safety lid you know it's me

friends, i am afraid that "i want more weird freak art, but ONLY if it's not weird PORN" is a completely incoherent stance. you are not obligated to like the weird porn that is sexualizing fucked up shit, but if you want more weird art made by freaks, you need to create an environment where people feel comfortable making transgressive and shocking art that upsets people, and that just so happens to include weird porn and sexualizing fucked up things as a category, like, by definition!

like i cannot stress enough that you cannot pick and choose which transgressive things can exist in your artistic sphere based on if they upset and shock you or not... that's undermining the entire point of artistic spheres that encourage transgression!

they should make shopping for cables easier i think. there should be a service where you pick the ends, you pick the length of cable, you pick the like. color and texture of the cable (shitty plastic, nicely woven, bare metal, whatever) and then they make it and ship it to you for a reasonable fee

they should also invent an IPAD that can JERK YOU OFF

i have good news. for you

Western Australia is seeing the return of western quolls to the wild after disappearing from the state over 100 years ago.

fun fact: if you pirated six full length albums from your favourite band, listened to them all back to back 5 times, and then sent them $20 on ko-fi or whatever, on average they would have earned slightly more money per play than they'd get from you streaming the same shit with ads on spotify.

invariably when I talk about media piracy people are like "but what!!! about creators!!! they need to make a living!!!" my homey in romey if you're that worried about it send your favourite artist $5 right now. do it. shut the fuck up.

I want to support artists but I can ONLY do it if I'm being drip fed shittier and shittier versions of the content a tech executive thinks I want. I have no choice in the matter because uhhhhhh other people won't pay for things if they're free. yeah that's right. other people are the problem.

here's the piracy secret big media don't want you to know: you can always give artists money if you want to.

Houston put someone on trial for feeding the homeless and jury calls bullshit

The state had to prove to a jury that feeding the homeless is a criminal act and in doing so, probably convinced a few members of the jury to sign up for food not bombs lol.

This is a great time to remind everyone on here about Jury Nullification

I hope you're cringe I hope we're both cringe
