i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.
New meme drop
When someone forgot to tag correctly their fic
When you think its all going well and then you read post-ep interviews
Imagine picking up up a pint of ice cream for $5 and when you get to the register it's $6. This is going to be a nightmare for everyone who works there.
If you catch them raising prices on you in the store, complain. Get a manager. Make a scene. Show them time-stamped photos of prices: "I put a $5 item in my cart and that's how much I intend to pay for it." Do it every day. Give them 1 star reviews.
Consumer backlash is how we stop this. It's the only way. Especially with companies like Walmart that have established themselves as the only option in rural communities. It's not "being a Karen" if you're making legitimate complaints and being exploited.
also you can report EVERY INSTANCE OF THIS to the ftc's bureau of consumer protection because it is deceptive marketing. you can report every single deceptive price and ad too if you want
I don’t think we talk enough about how, despite the presence of multiple globes, PotC takes place on a flat earth, ice wall included.
I'm gonna need some elaboration here
They literally sail over the edge of it after passing through a hole in a wall of ice. They fall off. They get back to the other side by passing through the whole ocean.
But also there’s a globe on, like, everyone’s desk.
You get it.
No, but this is actually (sort of) canon.
See, part of the conceit of the PotC trilogy is that all myths are true. Nearly every supernatural element in the franchise has a root in some real world mythology or pirate lore, although some of them are mashed together.
Another thing is that they take place at the end of the Golden Age of Piracy, and the more the map gets filled in, and the more the Royal Navy takes power, there less room there is for the mystical and supernatural in the world. This is explicitly called out in At World's End with the death of the kraken:
Barbossa: The world used to be a bigger place. Jack: The world's still the same. There's just... less in it.
The only way to access the world of the supernatural is through the supernatural itself. You can only get to the Isla de Muerta with Jack's compass that points to whatever you desire, or if you already know where its is. You need Tia Dalma's map to find the edge of the world. To access the supernatural, you need to already be immersed in it.
The pirates world isn't flat, it's round - but because the edge of the world exists in myth, it therefore exists in reality. The pirates are able to find it through supernatural means, but if, say, someone like Norrington just sailed in the same general direction, he wouldn't end up in the same place.
“Pirate” is a mage subclass fueled by word of mouth, rule of cool, The Power of Belief/Love/Friendship, and rum.
One thing about the Euros is that the English still haven’t quite adjusted to the Queen dying so during the national anthem they keep singing “God Save The Quing” like there’s a non-binary monarch on the throne.
"Hey there Queen. I mean they," -the British
SORRY THIS FUCKING KILLED ME
it haunts me every goddamn day that Bela died letting Dean believe she killed her parents for money and spent her last moments letting him spew his vindictive holier-than-thou bile at her bc she thought she Deserved it (after paralleling him for a season!!!) bc she committed the cardinal sin of Supernatural-world and desecrated the sanctity of the Family Unit and then at the last possible second Kripke's like btw she did it bc her Father (!) was sexually abusing her. and she didn't even pull the trigger she was just talked into it by a demon when she was 14 years old!!!!! and she just couldn't bring herself to tell them. those righteous men. monster-hunters. justice-bringers. but what do you do if your Father (!!!) is the monster. who do you run to who can you tell. 'you wouldn't understand. no one did. never mind.' and they never find out they just never. find out. never mind all the times she looked Dean in the eyes and said you can't judge me, we are the same. he never has to think about or interrogate THAT again. the idea of the Father (!!!!!) as a sexual threat just hangs outside the narrative unsaid and unsayable. oh well looks like that arc is wrapped up . now Bela's in hell. forever. ok. jesus fucking christ.
starting a collection. please add on
how it feels when the thing i like is something i really like and thats because i really like it and it makes me happy to like it
there’s a lot going on here
Tiger found caged in abandoned home gets second chance at wildlife sanctuary: ‘He seems to be so happy’
The estimated 350-pound tiger was transported to the facility, an affiliate of the Humane Society of the United States, on Wednesday afternoon, and is settling in well, Almrud said. There, he will have the chance to roam in enclosures of up to three acres.
Almrud, who estimates him to be about 2 years old, described the moment he first walked onto the grass at the sanctuary as remarkable.
“It was just amazing to see him walk out on grass and to see him explore and have that freedom of movement,” she said. “It was just such a reward and fulfilling to us.”
Now, he spends his days rolling around the grass in glee, Almrud said.
“He comes right up to the fence every time a staff member is present,” she said. “He seems very amenable to our presence.”
The tiger is eating well – a combination of chicken, humanely raised non-processed beef and whole prey complete with organs and bones. It appears that he was being fed chicken, which is what owners of exotic cats often feed them, but chicken alone does not provide the complete nutrition they need to thrive, Almrud said.
In addition, caregivers are tasked with keeping the tiger mentally stimulated by creating “pretend hunting” games and rotating him through different areas so he has access to new smells and environments to explore.
“He seems to happy and content,” Almrud said. “Our staff is just falling in love with him.”
This is... NOT gonna end the way you think
O_O
yikes
Some more links to why Betterhelp sucks (on top of the racism):
also, its sister tweet:
How could you forget:
That’s not how slurs work but not like genocide supporters give a shit.
this is almost entirely due to racist losers falsely reporting and brigading streamers like Hasan and frogan btw. whatever you may think of them individually, this is the result of a weeks long campaign to get rid of prominent pro-Palestinian voices on the platform, especially Arab and Muslim streamers. it's not an accident that both creators have been called antisemitic terrorist supporters, while right-wing and far-right streamers that actually do promote antisemitic tropes and conspiracies are facing zero backlash. it's just racism and Islamophobia being dressed up as concerns about antisemitism.
