Blog devoted to a nerd who appeared in only 11 episodes of the Pokémon anime. You will also find stuff about the misadventures of a wild Hunter kid who tries to find his Hunter dad, animated shows and movies, and even ninja turtles!
I cannot stress enough how they - made this post - got hard ratioed and berated into the fucking stratosphere - deleted the post within the hour. - TRIED AGAIN ON A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT MEANT TO SPECIFICALLY PROMOTE PHOTOSHOP before they even changed the display name (similarly to this screenshot) - repeat of first three events.
It’s honestly hard to replace tumblr with another social media not because ‘Ooooh she’s so craaaazy I love her’ but because no other website has a tagging system that lets you easily and efficiently sort your posts and let you find anything on a specific topic as long as you sort it that way
I wash my wretched walking corpse with bleach and formaldehyde to prevent bacterial accumulation
You are an inspiration to us all
if you’ve had a significant surgery you’ve probably been told to shower with antibacterial soap, and they literally tell you not to use it regularly because it FUCKS your microbiome. you can tell, too- your skin feels fucking disgusting and weirdly sick for days afterwards
to specify: antiseptic hand soap can be fine if it’s just your hands because you use those to touch everything in the world and then eat with em. helps cut down on the amount of germs and viruses and harmful bacteria you transfer into your mouth.
the rest of your skin can benefit from washing with soap and warm water, but antibacterial soap used as a regular cleanser can take it too far. you’re actually supposed to have bacteria on you. your microbiota is a healthy and helpful part of your immune system. going scorched earth full sterilization on skin can make it dryer, weaker, and sicker.
The number of people who think it’s normal to use a bar soap + body wash + antibacterial wash + body scrub + “good smelling body wash” with a fucking loofah or wtv every. Single. Day and then lather on two different moisturisers and an oil on top??? Ever stopped to consider the fact that maybe u wouldn’t need all that if u didn’t regularly skin yourself??
Since regular soap & washing your hands properly is enough to protect you from covid-19, what kind of eldritch horror bacteria do they think they’re killing with that hardcore 15 step full-body hygiene routine?
The cleantok girlies are fighting viruses that haven’t even evolved yet (I say yet because they’re working on it).
lots of good points being made in this thread and in the notes, so the one thing I’ll add is:
“Gross” and “disgusting” are emotional perceptions. Not objective states of matter.
If you have reached a point where the natural state of the organic human body is inherently horrifying to you, your emotional perceptions are becoming detached from reality in a dangerous way.
Do not damage your own physical health over emotional perceptions of yourself; do not go to war and harm other people over emotional perceptions of their selves.
I … I don’t have words for how much that hits me like a blow to the sternum, every single time.
Every single time.
I never thought we’d be here, but here we are.
i hope ronald reagan is doing fucking backflips in his grave knowing that despite the hell on earth he put queer people through, we are still here, we are alive and thriving, and we are FINALLY curing the disease he allowed to kill millions of americans
In my household we talk about “pathways in the brain” being like deer trails in the woods – the more the deer walk along one route, the more their hooves wear down the grass until it’s just a strip of bare dirt.
But if the deer start traveling a different way, the grass grows back.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
how i’m handling my students using AI to write papers:
-don’t accuse them on using AI from the get-go and instead ask them to informally define all the huge words that they used in their essay which i know they don’t know the meaning of
-ask to see their original file where they “wrote” the essay. go to version history to see if it was just copy and pasted and then just edited a bit. i keep an eye out for the shit like “certainly! here’s an essay about….”
-if they own up to it, they can re-do the assignment for a higher grade even if there will be an automatic penalty. if they don’t, i process it like plagiarism and get my supervisor involved.
And this is much better than the immediate accusations. Some students have a good vocabulary. Stop accusing them of faking their essays without proof, and this is a good way to check.
