I like asthetic stuff, memes, vegan food and being queer | they/he | send whatever🌈

Trump blinked. He will pause tariffs on all countries besides China for 90 days. China can now just reroute exports through other countries. Trump didn't hold the cards he thought he did. Does anyone really believe that a foolish salesman like Trump is going to bring China—a civilization with over 5,000 years of history—to its knees? This will all end with Trump being humiliated on the global stage.

love that for 100 years people have looked at these beasts and thought “heehee what if the big one wore the little one like a hat”

the people on tiktok filming a blob-like strawberry and saying it's a GMO one...fucking fake strawberry fans...they literally can grow naturally like this

it's just the strawberries growing together. do not speak lies of these beautiful freaks ever again

every time I find a strawberry like this i'm not hating. i'm happy because there's more strawberry to eat. unlike you

its called fasciation and it's a mutation that happens in plants all the time! it's perfectly natural, just a neat variation that comes from a wide array of genetic possibilities :)

Its so interesting that when people hear gmo they think its gotta look wrong but the real gmo plants are the ones that look perfect and plump everytime, that's the kinda thing they're selecting for

girl who has something deeply wrong with her: I wish I had something wrong with me for real because at least then I'd have an excuse for everything wrong with me

i go to the shop and I ask if they have any raspberries. they say no, they used to sell raspberries, but they haven't had any in stock in the last 15 years. I ask if there's somewhere else I can go to buy raspberries. They say no, with confidence and pride, they're the only shop around who has ever sold or will ever sell raspberries. Other shops might sell other fruit, sure, but they have a monopoly on all raspberries forever. I ask if they're possibly planning on them selling them again in future? they say they can't tell me that.

on the way home, I encounter someone eating raspberries. I ask and they tell me that they grow their own, they got some seeds from the shop back in The Raspberry Days and kept them. They take me to a field of many beautiful raspberry plants and invite me to pick my own, they're free for all the town to pick whenever they'd like.

someone comes up behind us. It's the shop manager, President of Nintendo Shuntaro Furukawa. he hatefully throws a bob-omb that blows up and kills both of us instantly for stealing 200 trillion dollars worth of potential Raspberry Shop That Doesn't Do Raspberries Anymore profits that they weren't making and then he turns around to the camera with a big thumbs up and says don't do piracy or something ok please

Dan Hays is a British artist known for painting landscapes that mimic low-resolution digital images, often working pixel by pixel. Colorado Snow Effect 4 is part of his ongoing exploration of how technology influences perception. The painting features a snowy landscape rendered in a way that resembles pixelated digital imagery, blurring the line between traditional and digital art.

I'm sorry I'm going fucking insane over trans people in sports issues the anti trans crowd has lost the fucking plot and then has the audacity to act like its the trannies who are ridiculous

I used to be of the "well the sports issue isn't really important to me its w/e I just don't want it to be a gateway into other transphobia" but oh my fucking god we are so far gone. The fencing shit is sending me over the edge. What the fuck.

I can't even articulate my words so I'm just going to tell a story in screenshots

I am so fucking tired of being gaslit about this

I'm also still so fucking pissed that we have to include "ooo the trans fencer only finished in X place" because its a reminder that trans women will never be allowed to excel at anything in the public eye without being cut down. Fuck OFF

I know the forfeiter, unfortunately she's from my fencing club. Everyone at our club agrees she did this purely for the spectacle, in a sport that's heavily steeped in sportsmanship and respect.

If she's ejected from the club (she might have been already, the club understandably probably won't issue a public statement) it'll be because she broke the rules in a direct, intention, and disgustingly public way. At tournaments, they don't just kick people out, she almost definitely was warned and told to go and fence, then refused again. The rules are unambiguous and everyone knows you can't refuse to fence. And thankfully USA Fencing already decided to officially allow trans athletes.

But she'll claim any repercussion she faces is for her politics, she'll describe herself as a victim and keep raking in conservative money. It's shitty, she's shitty, but thankfully most of the fencing community agrees on the absurdity of her claims. She regularly fenced in coed events, and it's ironic because the tournament allows grown adults to fence 14 year olds but she decided that including a trans woman was unfair. It's bigotry and looks idiotic, but she'll benefit because conservatives are deciding to be "woke" snowflakes about trans people

Credentials: I have fenced since 2009, I am a certified fencing referee, and I unfortunately know this woman
