I would climb down there like a lizard and the magma wouldn’t hurt me

That's not lava, sorry. This isn't in Þingvellir, this is a display at the earthquake exhibition in Hveragerði. That's a line of plastic lights in a crack that opened up during the 2008 earthquake. It's in a shopping center. This is what it looks like from another angle

The fault in Þingvellir looks like this

The fault at Sandvík is closer together and looks like this

There isn't any lava visible from the surface continental divides currently but when there was a fissure eruption nearby Sandvík a few years ago at Fagradalsfjall, it looked like this

It's a difficult choice, but I think this might be my favourite Tumblr thread of all time :)

So the lyrics to the second verse of Rihanna’s “SOS” are just the song titles of ‘80s pop hits!?

Asuna Swimsuit ver. by Griffon Enterprises, 2015. (Unsure, possibly bootleg? I don't mean to accuse, but she's the closest figure I can find, and only counterfeit versions have that tie on her bikini.)

Rei Ayanami from the Shin Seiki Evangelion Portraits 8 series by Bandai, 2011.

Elaina Nekomimi Maid ver. from the Desktop Cute series by Taito, 2023.

Hatsune Miku Cafe Maid ver. prize figure from the Hatsune Miku Costumes series by Taito, 2020.

Exact brand unsure. Commonly referred to as a "Macho Man" cake topper online. I believe you can find this from various retailers as a gag gift.

i believe that men deserve love and care and kindness and empathy because i believe every human deserves love and care and kindness and empathy no matter their social position or oppressor status. unfortunately every time a white cishet man says "well maybe if leftists and women were nicer to us we wouldn't be virulently murderously misogynistic" i'm forced to capture another white cishet man off the streets and chain him up in my hostage basement. i don't like this either but it's just the facts of the matter. we have to stop hurting our beautiful kings

okay but in all seriousness taking aside the jokey tone for a second. i really don't think people should be mean to cishet white men just because they're cishet white men. outreach for people who genuinely want to learn and join the movement, even if they may fuck up on the way, is huge. but the "the problem is the left is TOO MEAN to white men" genre of article gets so severely on my nerves because it presupposes that there are legions of cishet white men out there who are Trying Really Hard to be leftist but keep getting forced away by the mean women. when in fact most of the women/lgbt people/people of color i know have made an effort to be extremely patient and overforgiving to the cishet white men in our lives and most of them still refuse to meet us halfway. being nice rarely makes situations worse but if it worked for Fixing White Men it would have worked by now

this is about my chemical romance

Why do so many people make tiktoks while they're clearly driving. What the fuck. Stop that shit, you're gonna kill someone.

I think people online treat driving too casually tbh, like there was a poll about people's bad habits while driving and they weren't bad habits or problematic or whatever, they were all things that literally kill people every single day. You are driving a massive vehicle that can very easily turn into a murder weapon with your carelessness, take this shit seriously.

"Haha I never use my turn signals" you are going to kill someone.

"I don't do full stops at stop signs lol" you are going to kill someone.

"Sometimes I text while I'm driving 🤭" YOU ARE GOING TO KILL SOMEONE.

Also people who speed up or suddenly stop or swerve a lot to freak out someone in the car for fun: it stops being funny when you get into a car accident because of it. Just so you know.

going insane hearing talk about whether harris did enough to "earn" votes. no candidate has ever or can ever earn my vote because a vote is not a payment i send to a politician and it's stupid to think about it like it is. exact same thinking error that leads to people talking about not voting like it's a boycott. if anyone earned my vote it's the people i tried to use that vote to protect

you never owed kamala harris anything. you owed it to your fellow citizens of the world to vote for harris.

kamala harris is not even close to being the person who would have benefited most from her winning the election, and she's even farther from being the person who will be hurt the most by her loss, which makes thinking about it in terms of "but did she deserve my vote?" disastrously stupid. she simply is not the person whose deserving matters at all here

Exactly tbh

I don't go to the gym because it motivates me. I don't arrive to work on time because of how my job earned it. I don't eat fruits and vegetables because they inspire me.

"killing billionaires wont solve the problem of wealth inequality" no but killing elon musk would solve the problem of elon musk

i always forget how much of a hell getting up in the morning during the cold months is until im trying to get dressed taking frost damage like ough augh ugha oagh uagh

Puritanism is getting worse around the globe and conservatives and fascists will absolutely be first going harder against porn, then use that against queer people. You HAVE to realise this and oppose anti porn measures and laws, be in solidarity with sex workers, and listen to them when they call this shit out. It's going to be vitally important.

Reminder that keeping porn legal means that pornstars have legal protections that they will lose if porn is made illegal. Reminder that keeping porn legal means there are legal standards that can be put in place and enforced which results in better safety for all who are involved in porn's creation.

Reminder that porn will never stop being a thing. It just won't. If it's made illegal, then it will continue to be created and distributed - its just that it will now be done under the table, and with no safety regulations or protections for anyone.

Yes, the hard-right's ultimate plan is to use porn as a gateway from which to attack queer people, but even if that wasn't their plan, you should want to protect the legality of porn anyway.

Keeping porn legal means that the chances of sexual assault on those who work in the industry are reduced, and means that victims of assault are able to pursue legal action against their attackers. Keeping porn legal means that human trafficking is decreased, and it gives victims of human trafficking a legally supported escape route that would be lost if porn were made illegal.

Keeping porn legal means that anyone who is involved in making it - regardless of whether theyre making it simply because they want to, or because they're financially desperate -- is granted a measure of protection that they otherwise would not be. People love to raise the "but porn is made by desperate people who sell their body to survive," but a) some people make porn because they like it, and b) someone who is desperate enough to sell their body will do so regardless of whether it's legal or not. But when it's legal, that desperate person has far more protections and is less likely to be taken advantage of than when it's illegal.

Keeping porn legal protects people. Making it illegal will harm people. It's that simple.

"But it's demeaning!"

That's a you problem. No, really - it's your opinion is that sex work is demeaning, but I've had some really demeaning jobs that were legal and "proper". Just because a job involves sex doesn't mean it has less value than being a salesperson, or an accountant.
