theme what's that

What exactly does "Maundy" even mean

okay FIIIIINE i made a bluesky account, it's here if you want it, and it's for if and only IF tumblr ever goes down. i don't plan to use it until that point though. i'm going to be here until the bitter end no matter what.

(i also have a pillowfort account from like 2018 that i never used either. my ao3 is here, where i do still post things from time to time, and on discord i'm @ yeetdabson)

please do tell me your handles on other stuff and if there's anywhere else you recommend that could potentially be a good idea to create an account on!

The thing about harry potter is that it's Not a matter of ~ problematic media ~ it's a "the creator is directly funneling shit tons of money into the Kill All Trannies Foundation". This is our anita bryant. Can you grow a fucking spine and morals and stuff? If we were in the 70s some of you would be talking about how orange juice is your safe food or something. She's the actual devil I think that's more important here

Like your wizard books fucking suck anyway we've pretty thoroughly torn them apart at this point but all of that is still besides the point that she is The Devil. Even if they were good you still shouldn't be giving this woman your money & you should be embarrassed to associate yourself with her work. Come on. Can the millennial nostalgia industrial complex crash and burn yet I'm sick of y'all

"Ooh I'm pirating it I'm buying merch secondhand" ok but you should have some sense of shame about it. Like usually this is where someone makes a point about exposure and continued relevance cause you're still promoting it but, like, even if you found a way to engage with the wizard books without contributing to Millennial Anita Bryant's wealth even a little 100% guaranteed, how can you stomach it at this point? Doesn't it make you feel sick?? What is wrong with you. Also "well I'm headcanoning them as queer so I'm sticking it to jkr" is just stupid. Your Thoughts don't cancel out Real Material Consequences

hey americans there is a recall on testosterone gel because they found benzene in it! please check the lot numbers on your batches, benzene is really not something you want to be rubbing into your skin, also you might be eligible for compensation because this is just insane what the fuck

OP's source is formatted strangely (lot number and expiration date correlate) so I'm gonna drop the FDA report here.

This recall is specifically for Strides Pharma, Inc.

i’ve watched this like 8 times in a row

Me and my dog post-apocalypse after we find a broken crate of canned peaches washed up on the beach

if you need fewer than 8 hrs of sleep keep that shit to yourself. or do one better and simply lie and say that 8+ hrs of sleep is necessary for you. if you’re out here loudly bragging about ur 4 hour sleep maximum i consider you an oppressor. best case scenario is people clap for you and feel jealous. worst case scenario you signal to the capitalist dogs that we should all try to be like you. the risk is too great and the reward too little

i love when people are like “Oh my god, I couldn’t possibly imagine being asexual, how sad, you’re missing so much…” Bitch!!! You know what’s sad? Being gluten intolerant. If you placed two pills in front of me right now, one which would turn me allosexual and one which would enable me to tear into a freshly-baked oven-warm olive-and-rosemary ciabatta without utterly destroying my body, it would not even be a choice. “hyuhhh-duhhhh aren’t you worried you’ll die alone” aren’t you worried i’ll just launch myself over the bakery counter in our local grocery store one day and stuff croissants in my mouth like a starving racoon til i die and the whole place has to be closed down as a health risk while they peel my bloated body off the linoleum floor? You should be

What i have learned from the tags of this post is that there is a whole community of gluten intolerant asexuals and we are all DESPERATELY horny for bread

A green anole is a member of the iguana family btw. If you even care.

It’s not, though. It’s in the infraorder Iguania, but the anole family is now called Anoliidae (formerly Dactyloidae, but Anoliidae was recently discovered to be an older name). And due to the total disaster that is anole taxonomy (because people are lazy and conservative, and have forgotten that higher taxonomy is supposed to be useful), family Anoliidae and the genus Anolis are effectively synonymous.

This is from Animorphs #1: The Invasion, published in 1996, and the character narrating is a 13-year-old boy who was just drafted into an alien war, so maybe it's okay if Jake is a little inaccurate.

Just reinforces that we should be teaching taxonomic literacy from early education. Understanding the structure and hierarchy of Life is incredibly useful, for everything from medicine to farming. The earlier people get it, the more it can shape how they understand the world around them. And in the context of an alien war, even better to understand how things do or do not fit into the system that we know terrestrial life evolved under.

No but the 1996 bit is important this might have been accurate when it was published.

That said, there's always a moment when I read that passage sans context where I wonder *what* he did Monday morning. Like, I read the book. I know. But I'm still thinking "that's maybe not information yous should volunteer, buddy"

Well, by 1996, the anoles had been resting in the family Polychrotidae for a happy seven years (they didn't move over to their own family until like 2011). But I suppose if Applegate had been reading somewhat out of date literature as her source, or had commenced writing before 1989, she can be forgiven for this oversight. It takes a long time for many taxonomic changes to trickle down, even today.

(for clarity, I did not know this was a quote from Animorphs, or its publication date, for my original response)

hbo max blocks screenshots even when I use the snipping tool AND firefox AND ublock which is a fucking first. i will never understand streaming services blocking the ability to take screenshots thats literally free advertising for your show right there. HOW THE HELL IS SOMEBODY GONNA PIRATE YOUR SHOW THROUGH SCREENSHOTS. JACKASS

somewhere out there is a guy who meticulously takes screenshots of every individual frame of his favorite tv shows and then painstakingly etches each one onto a roll of film which he puts into his old timey projector and recreates the footage as a silent film with his own lavishly hand-lettered dialogue cards and original score that he plays on his upright piano and charges audiences one shiny penny a play. at last, big media has finally outsmarted ol' Zachary Zoetrope

PSA for everyone who doesn't know, explained simply

this is NOT because of blocking screenshots, it's because of HOW streaming sites use your computer's hardware to optimise performance, which means the thing rendering the video and the thing capturing your screen aren't the SAME thing. so they can't talk together.

you can fix this by going to your browser settings, searching for "hardware acceleration", and turning that off.

This also fixes screen sharing to other screens. It has been GODSEND

Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.

Context.

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. JKR has openly given at least £70,000 to For Women Scotland to campaign against trans rights and fund this exact supreme court ruling. x x

Her anti-trans Crisis Centre in Edinburgh has the director of For Women Scotland on the Board of Directors. x

We can presume she's given more (financial) support off the record or in other ways.

Rowling consistently makes passive income on all Harry Potter products. Multiple sources have cited that Rowling earns anywhere between $50 million to a $100 million each year from royalties. Forbes estimated she earned $95 million in 2017 alone. x x x

It is a well-known fact that she earns net profit percentages on all her IP. Every time you buy any HP merch, from anywhere, she gets a cut. Every time you watch one of her films, even streaming or just on the tv, she gets a cut. Every time you visit Universal Studios or Harry Potter World, she gets a cut.

And she uses that money to do this. To strip trans rights at every opportunity.

This is where that Harry Potter money goes.

don't ever look up what your childhood friends are up to now!!!!!!!!!! like girl you're a nuclear safety engineer. i put on matching socks today. we played tag a thousand years ago.

Yeah

Many of them haven't done any of the dishes so good on you.

DOGE just froze funding to vital Federal and Indigenous conservation programs devoted to supporting the very delicate and tenuous existence of the black-footed ferret.

I fell in love with these animals as a kid traveling to our National Parks. Their rarity and ferocity made me sharply aware, even as a child, of just how much of a responsibility we have toward our environment. I can't bear the thought of them being a fucking casualty of Trump and Musk.

Look at them! They do war dances.

Okay I don't want to end this on doom and gloom, so I'm also going to add that the Buffalo Nations Grasslands Alliance was one of the indigenous-lead organizations who were supposed to receive a $1.1 million dollar grant that has since been frozen. But they do have a website and they do accept donations.

his tuoy
