Huh. Who put that here?

Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"

More from the notes:

Happy Easter!! ✨🐝

Thought the boys deserved at least one nice, happy Easter egg hunt and in my mind Bobby did so too :)

Have a fantastic Sunday 🌻

Görkem Şen is a Turkish musician who wanted to create the sounds of electronic music acoustically. His invention, the yaybahar, is a string instrument connected to drums via metal coils that creates a wide variety of otherworldly music.

Ooh, spooky, I like it! It sounds kind of like if a whale was a robot.

Why not embed the video though? This guy's got a teeny tiny little channel and this video has fewer than 4k views, and if this post blew up it would be pretty unfair to him, getting lots of watchtime on his work but without the cruel youtube algorithm gods knowing about it so they can recommend it to more people.

Tumblr is really weird when it comes to video. I've found that when they are embedded from an external source, having the giant Youtube logo over the thumbnail and then having to click through to watch means that significantly fewer people actually bother to look at it. Generally I embed them myself and then make sure to cite the source. Unfortunately tumblr doesn't always carry over source links in reblogs and I try to link somewhere physically in the description as well to offset that but sometimes I forget. Apologies, I want everyone to look at Mr Şen's channel!

"Gov. Tim Walz signed an executive order Wednesday protecting the rights of LGBTQ people from Minnesota and other states to receive gender affirming health care, as he slammed the tide of other states rolling back transgender rights.

“We want every Minnesotan to grow up feeling safe, valued, protected, celebrated, and free to exist as their authentic versions of themselves,” Walz said. “Protecting and supporting access to gender affirming health care is essential to being a welcoming and supportive state.” ...

Walz’s executive order parallels legislation awaiting a floor vote in the state House to make Minnesota a “trans refuge state” by protecting trans people, families and care providers from a range of legal repercussions for traveling to Minnesota for gender affirming care, which includes a wide range of social and medical interventions.

While sponsors said they’re optimistic about passage in the coming weeks, the governor said the accelerating trends against trans rights in other states made it urgent for him to impose protections immediately.

The bill is authored by Democratic Rep. Leigh Finke, of St. Paul, Minnesota’s first openly transgender legislator. It would prohibit the state from enforcing court orders or child protection laws from other states if they interfere with a person’s right to seek gender affirming care in Minnesota.

The importance of the governor’s order to LGBTQ people across the nation can’t be overstated, she said.

“The lives of trans and gender expansive people this nation are under attack,” Finke said. “There is a full-scale movement in this nation against trans, nonbinary, two-spirit and gender expansive adults and children that seeks to make our community disappear.”

A separate bill banning so-called conversion therapy for LGBTQ children and vulnerable adults won approval in the Minnesota House last month and is awaiting a floor vote in the Senate."

White Pink Spider brooch // YatsuraBead

After shoving Hansel in the oven, the witch turns to Gretel - who is currently fending the witch off with a gingerbread chair - and says:

“I can’t believe you thought a trail of breadcrumbs would save you. I mean, honestly, this is a forest! It’s full of animals. Honestly, the very idea that a dumb shit like you thought you could get the better of me is absurd.”

Gretel hits her in the face with said chair. To be fair to the witch, she takes the chairshot like a champ.

“Ow!”

“Did you know,” says Gretel, “that crows are capable of facial recognition?”

“Eh?” Says the witch, clambering to her feet and pulling a candy cane sledgehammer off the wall. “What’s that got to do with anything?”

“Not only that,” Gretel continues, “but they can remember both friends and enemies. And they’ll often follow people they remember as friends.”

The two fence with their sugared weapons for a moment, before the witch knocks the chair out of Gretel’s hands.

“Enough with the bird facts! Honestly, this whole attempted escape has been utter clownshoes. Get in the fucking oven!”

She seizes Gretel by the collar. Gretel immediately sandbags, letting her whole body go limp. This eminently practical defense forces the witch to try and deadlift her. Which is hard, as the witch often skips leg day.

“For example,” Gretel says, as the witch struggles and grunts, “if you feed crows a lot of breadcrumbs, they’ll probably start to see you as a friend and follow you in the hope of more food.”

The witch stops. Outside, she hears the thunder of wings.

“They’ll even bring you shiny things they find as presents!” Says Gretel, as a corner of the gingerbread ceiling is suddenly cut away by a large crow with a knife in its mouth.

“Oh shitballs.” Says the witch, as the crows descend. “I hope you know this is a great unkindness.”

“Technically,” Says Gretel, “It’s a murder.”

First episode - last episode

oh no i’ve figured out how to change ALL the displayed fonts on firefox

i have powers

I think I should be able to set custom fonts for specific websites so this clown website can be displayed exclusively in Jokerman

SHARE YOUR WISDOM WITH US PLEASE

ok so to start off reminding everyone this is for Firefox (you should switch to Firefox do it)

First you go open the application menu, which is the 3 horizontal line icon at the top right of the window. Under this dropdown, hit Settings.

Once in the Settings page, scroll down until you see the Fonts section. You can see that I’ve already changed the default font to Comic Sans here.

Previously, I had stopped here, and I’ve only seen this change reflected in random bits of texts every once in a blue moon. To reach the next level, click through to the Advanced options.

In this window you can set separate fonts for Serif, Sans-serif, and Monospace fonts. The important part is to uncheck the box that says “Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above”. As soon as you hit “OK” your changes will be reflected on any other websites you have open (if you change the “Minimum font size” you will have to reload the page for the changes to take place; while I’m sure this option can be very useful for some it can fuck with the formatting on some parts of websites, just a heads up). No changes you make will be reflected on the Settings page, probably so you don’t like change everything to wingdings and then struggle to fix everything or whatever

Your available font options are based on what fonts are installed on your computer, so you can go absolutely hog wild. Here’s the Splatoon 1 font and one of the Oblivion fonts on this christian prayers website I happened to have open and am now using to test font changes

In actual practice this means you can set your default fonts to whatever makes it easiest for you to read! Or you can make your internet browsing experience absolutely visually insufferable. You have the power

TIME FOR CHAOS.

i wasn’t joking

this post has haunted me for like 3 years. every time i start to think i imagined it, it shows up on my dash again and then immediately disappears into the ether for another 17 months
