As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.

It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.

Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.

I'm also gonna stop listing the reasons why I recognize something is a scam. It's becoming more and more clear there is 1 person behind this STRING of scams and they're leaving less trails behind but it still reeks of them and their MO.

DO NOT TRUST ANY GOFUNDME OR REQUEST FOR CROWDFUNDING THAT PALESTINIAN BLOGGERS HAVEN'T VERIFIED.

At this point I'm fine receiving a bunch of inbox messages asking me to vet x y z so y'all can avoid this shit. But please have some critical thinking!

People are exploiting our situation.

Reblog this post.

Whether you wanna read the whole thing or not idc.

REBLOG IT.

The person this was about deleted the 4th or 5th scam account they made and are definitely gonna make a new one soon. I don't want anybody falling for this anymore.

Well bless his heart

Final Destination movies are getting a lot lazier

I work a labor job near a very big tech headquarters, so I see these musktrucks every day and interact with their owners frequently. And I've come to realize that a lot of these guys are desperately insecure in their masculinity. Which isn't a stunning revelation or anything. But like, the insecurity is rooted in the nature of their work and the 'traditionally masculine' skills they don't know a lot about and are very, very fragile about. And this truck is like, a magical bridge for them, over that gap. Or it's supposed to be, that's what I think it is marketed as in a twisted way. It seemingly combines things they are knowledgeable and comfortable with - techy gimmicky horse shit - with the things they don't know a lot about: tools for doing physical work, which affirms the masculinity they feel alienated from.

Because no matter how much money they make, how successful they are in the tech hive city, they still get bent out of shape when they encounter physical problems to solve like the one in the picture above. Because it's outside their domain of experience. And society tells men that they should be, not only knowledgeable about these things, but masters at it. And they aren't.

But if they buy Elon's cybertruck , maybe they can become more like the rugged, capable jock their dads always wanted-

It's really sad. It's funny, don't get me wrong, but the more I interact with these guys and the more I understand what's wrong with them them, the sadder it is, too.

I'M DOING AN EXPERIMENT

To prove something to a friend, please

So, tattoo shop AUs are really popping off lately and personally I love it. Whatโ€™s more romantic than bleeding for art? Nothing!

But as someone married to a tattoo artist, I have been experiencing some mild She Wouldnโ€™t Say That regarding tattoo culture. So hereโ€™s a few quick tips that may help inform your AU. With a grain of salt for my mostly-second-hand knowledge:

  • NO ONE REPUTABLE SHOP WILL TATTOO A DRUNK PERSON. EVER. or even a person they suspect of any kind of inebriation. This is not just for Regret reasons, but also because alcohol is a blood thinner. If someone is on an acute dose of blood thinners, you generally do not want to stab them dozens of times per second.
  • Maybe this is regional, but in my experience most tattoo places donโ€™t call themselves parlors anymore. It has a kind of seedy vibe. I see shop or studio a lot but rarely parlor.
  • Most tattoo artists are hot, yes, but none are as hot at my wife
  • Tattooing janks up your hands. Sometimes in a RSI way but definitely in a changing-gloves-every-five-minutes-fucks-up-your-skin way.
  • Artists themselves are rarely if ever employees of the shop. They will be independent contractors who pay the shop either a cut of their sales or rent on their station like a hair dresser. They are also (usually) responsible for taking care of their own supplies, tools, etc. except for the stencil printer. What kind of dweeb would have their own stencil printer?
  • There is always a line for the stencil printer. Always.
  • Artists generally spend orders of magnitude more time working on art, replying to emails, doing consults, etc compared to time with their needles in skin.
  • A typical schedule for an artist might be: wake up at noon and guzzle half her body weight in coffee, one appointment from 1-4, and another from 6-9. Home to eat one (1) real meal at 10 pm. Drawing until 5 am. This is good for her actually and good for our marriage and sheโ€™s so healthy all the time.
  • An ideal shop receptionist needs to be friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging. They also need to be willing to get out the baseball bat that is kept behind the counter.
  • If a shop has to choose between โ€œgood people skillsโ€ and โ€œwill promptly rebuff Nazis and the obviously inebriatedโ€ the later is often a more important consideration.
  • At any given moment in any given shop thereโ€™s going to be at least one apprentice or someone bumming around hoping to be taken on as an apprentice. They spawn on tic and this feature cannot be disabled.
  • Again I can not overstate how hot my wife is

Transcription:

Tiktok 1: What's the weirdest thing about you body that you haven't gotten fixed yet?

Tiktok 2: (unintelligible) I started having issues hearing out of my right ear so i go to the doctor like any normal person would, and the guy looks in my ear with that little flashlight nozzle thing and he goes, "hm." And I go, "what?" And he says, "You don't have an ear canal."

Well I DID! Haven't missed any payments, who took it?!

He sends me to the very convenient ear specialist around the corner who then looks in my ear and goes, "JESUS!"

That is not the first thing I want my doctor to say to me! You think you know where this is going and you think it's gonna be a bug- WRONG.

This man informs me that there is a small tooth-sized bone growing across my ear. So I'm sitting there trying to process this like, "So should I go to the dentist?" And he goes "Oh, no it's only covering about 60% of your ear canal so as long as it doesn't start growing more then you don't need immediate surgery." So now I can't go underwater or else it gets trapped behind my ear-tooth!

Also, to the person on twitter who said I wasn't getting enough action so my body had to start 'boning' itself?

That was mean.

yknow what would be a fucked up phone feature

No, I don't. Please, proceed.

if whenever you plugged it in you had to manually enable charging mode and there was no built in way to automate it

That would be fucked up.

yknow what would be more fucked up

Football field full of viruses.

Abraham Lincoln teeth sculpture.

Really big vampire.

Inside-out Sweden.

if they added automatic charging mode but paywalled it

Yeah that's pretty fucked up.

Weakling. You will not survive the winter.

#no mention of penises. OOC. OOC
ALT

itd also be super fucked up if there was a penis and you could fuck the phone yourself thereby making it fucked up. diy fucked phone. there are you happy now? have i mentioned enough penises for your liking? have i met my mandated quota of penises for the day, being a tumblr-assigned dave kinnie in the year of our suffering 2023?? im going back to my midi editor

@spooptythegnome youre welcome. have fun in inside-out sweden

2 years of this post. happy homestuck free drugs for all

<3 I for one would welcome Doctor Doom ruling the world <3

I'm sorry. Is this man supposed to be a Villain?

I am not sure the writers know what that word means.

Comics and cartoons have a really bad habit of putting progressive and perfectly good ideas in the mouths of villains.

It's probably for the same reason why villains were queer-coded: these ideas are controversial and so they can only be expressed without resistance by antagonists.

Verily, man, this wizard peace is splendid. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "spirits o' field and vineyard" or something along those lines, and every one around him was showered in fresh-baked pastries and loaves, had their cups fill with aged wine, and then were soothed by a warm summer breeze. The minstrels didn't even sing his praises, that's what a joyous time this is. And here I've just been casting calming dew and level 2 aura of cheer. I think I just heard "power word: dessert" two groups over. I gotta get over there.

My apprentice, this peace is what all true wizards strive for.

yeah even the one that gave you that sinking terror and has you planning your penance behavior and going through your whole life trying to identify when you did whatever it said about prejudice or abuse or whatever. it's not about you they don't know you and they certainly don't care about you
