For no reason, here is Art Spiegelman's 1991 graphic novel Maus, for free on the Internet Archive.
HEY, FELLOW HATERS OF INSANELY-BRIGHT CAR HEADLIGHTS, SOMEONE HAS STARTED A PETITION TO REGULATE THEM.
It's an official petition through the Australian Government's e-petition page, which means if it gets enough signatures, it will be tabled in government.
You do have to be an Australian citizen to sign it, BUT!!! PLEASE REBLOG THIS EVEN IF YOURE NOT, because these kind of things have a roll-on effect, and if Australia legislates LED headlights, then other countries may follow.
FYI, the petition asks only for your name and email, and once you've clicked the sign button, they'll send you an email to confirm your signature --- you need to click the confirmation link in the email to have your signature counted.
52 years ago today, Malcolm X was assassinated.
We lost one of the greatest truth speaker’s in this nation’s history. rest in peace to this amazing person, you sure haven’t been forgotten.
Despite freedom of information act requests throughout the years, New York still will not release records (of Malkolm X assassination) to the public and claim files would endanger the safety of police officers and constitute unwarranted invasions of privacy

Malcolm X stood for the black man to be respected for what he was, a man. He did say things that did come off as violent or pro-hate (he encouraged violence in self defense, not unprovoked aggression ). The man had anger, his own father was lynched when he was just a child. He used facts, he used speech, as his weapons. He is the farthest thing from evil, but he’s not a saint neither. He is just a man who wanted change for his people and demanded they be treated like human beings. America, the country that is for not just them, but us too. And he was willing to make that happen.
By any means necessary

dude duolingo is so fucking annoying. its like the elon musk of apps like "please please pay attention to me im so funny haha please" like shut uppppp
I'm gonna be annoying about this but
Duolingo is shit. You can't really learn anything o real value with/from it. Not least because a while ago, they fired almost all their translators and the few they kept, are only there to make sure the Google/AI translated sentences aren't too wrong. They just give you shit to repeat and don't really teach you much about grammar or culture.
I'd implore you and anyone to look for an alternative
Duolingo is only around and popular due to what I call the Siri-effect: the wackiness and annoyance and being borderline, which is mean being seen as endearing. It's not. It's useless
does anyone have any recommendations for learning japanese instead of duolingo? I'm down to pay for it if i have to tbh
tumblr staff finding out their site has crowdsourced a viral song, only to discover it is 100% unusable in any corporate marketing scenario

Sometimes using this site is like accidentally rolling your car off a cliff only for it to somehow do a flip and land directly on top of Hitler
lets settle this properly
I find it kind of funny that human babies are so fragile and helpless and useless that natural selection went like HARD-hard on humans finding babies cute. This thing is a wailing messy resource sinkhole so please find other reason to enjoy it. And the humans that did find baby cute and invest time in them, the crazy bastards?? Lived!!
And now there’s so much spill-over from “baby cute” gene that humans see literally any “baby” creature that even slightly resembles us, like
and we’re like 😍🥰🤩🥺🥺🥺 I wanna love you so bad. I wanna make so many images of you, you are so small, just baby. I’m inventing new emotions as we speak bc I love you so much.
Like, I’m almost convinced humans didn’t even domesticate dogs bc we thought they’d be useful, we saw some puppies and it activated our Big Boi Primate Baby buttons, it wasn’t even logic time baby, it was 🥺 time.
The funniest thing about that is the fact that neuroimaging of elephant brains have proved that they think that we – humans – are cute in exactly the same way. They most likely want to squish and cuddle us the way we want to do with puppies based on the firing of their neurons.
This is so important to me.
Actually hatebros, “survival of the fittest” means you have to make as many friends as possible in one lifetime. Naruto understands Darwinism better than you.

no little trans boy! don't forcibly feminize yourself into a husk of who you yearn to be in order to appease the people around you who demand you be soft, submissive and feminine!
(also feel free in the tags to clarify Why you made the choice you made!! :0c)
