IT’S ALMOST LIKE IT’S A BAD SHOW THAT THRIVES ON SHOCK VALUE WITH NO REDEEMING QUALITIES ONCE THE CHEAP GIMMICK OF GRATUITOUS FANTASY VIOLENCE IS REMOVED

Incels and other sexist men can’t see a woman doing something incredible without fuming and trying to discredit her. They’re now dissing on Katie Bouman, who helped write one of the algorithms that got us the black hole picture, saying she was just an assistant (they don’t know what assistant professor is), and using Andrew Chael, her colleague in the Event Horizon Telescope team who helped write one of the codes, as ~the true person behind the codes who is being erased by this anti-men society~ or whatever. They’re even saying crap like “lmao women really don’t do shit”. Andrew took to Twitter himself to call bullshit on that.

If y'all can spread this thread to counter such narrative it’d be great.

“lions aren’t expressive”

Disney I didn’t even buy a ticket and I want a refund

everyone: realistic looking lions can still have expressions

Disney:

When you spend 81732193872981732 moneys and time on rendering realistic models but can’t be bothered to animate their faces. ‘Realism’ is no excuse for bad rigging.

Sometimes things in context… are better

I posted abt some really awful cat breeds yesterday and I want to expand on a couple things A few people were asking about scottish folds and the pain they’re in. With Scottish Fold cats, the bones and cartilage do not form properly, and as a result they have the overly large head, short face and jaw. They also have short, bandy legs and thick immobile tails. The cartilage is not strong enough to work as a shock absorber in the joints and as such it wears out very quickly leading to severe arthritis and spinal issues. Cartilage is what keeps a cat’s ears standing up, and since folds have major issues in that department, that’s why their ears are floppy. The floppy ears are DIRECTLY related to the pain. Because here’s the other thing: kittens born from scottish fold litters that DON’T have the fold? Also don’t have the pain. The ear fold is a symptom of a much more body-wide, painful problem. A kitten with the Scottish Fold gene from both parents will show signs of arthritis on X-ray from as young as seven weeks old. Scottish fold cats gained serious popularity after a few celebrities (Thanks Taylor Swift, thanks Ed Sheeran) got them and these particular cats recieved a lot of visibility on social media.

Great going, guys. On the note of famous cats, you know Maru? You probably do, they’re the kitty that got famous by jumping into boxes a bunch. As you do!!

Maru is technically a scottish fold too, but without the fold, which is why Maru can lead a better, less painful life than other scottish fold cats. Chronic pain begins for folds in kittenhood and follows them for the rest of their lives. Maru is lucky, and has lots of energy, like a healthy cat would. Cats display pain differently than humans. While another animal may limp, or cry, cats will act “”””calm””””, and opt to lay down and sleep rather than display normal signs of agony. That’s why Scottish folds are so “”calm”“. Folds who are given doses of painkiller at the vet will also suddenly perk up, displaying a personality you might not even know they had. For the cats that get this experience, this will be the first time they’ve ever felt normal in their lives. So yeah! That’s a little more detail. Please don’t encourage the viral spread of popularity among unhealthy pure-breed cats like the fold.  If you have the resources to care for a Fold (or any pure-breed animal with health problems for that matter) that you find at a shelter, by all means give it all the love you can, but don’t encourage their popularity, and don’t pay breeders. 

Activision Blizzard just fired 800 Employees even though they had another record breaking year

It got worse people..

i can almost guarantee he’s not the only one in that situation, too.

Literally everyone in the games industry desperately needs to unionize or strike or anything

I’m thinking about this on twitter again but I want to say it here too

shout out to ace and aro kids who are constantly bombarded with the opinion that sex and romantic love are directly connected to living a happy life.

Y’all are just reblogging this at the speed of sound tonight

Since it’s almost valentines day, and this message is about to get hammered in even more, reblogging this again.

he is here for you

also brought a snack 

Gee thanks

you’re welcome !

Unfortunately, reptiles never evolved a defense against dentists

@staff Not exactly the “welcome back to the app store” you were expecting huh

THIS is the kind of protest that tumblr will care about sooner or later. Leave bad ratings and reviews on apple or in the google play store. Lower their rating so hard that it damages their userbase.

Logging off for a single day isn’t of interest to tumblr. I’m not saying y’all shouldn’t protest in any way you can or want, but logging off the site for just one day isn’t going to bother tumblr because tumblr doesn’t CARE about your symbolic protest. Tumblr has proven time and again that it doesn’t CARE about its userbase. We’re still using the site and we won’t stop using the site any time soon because there’s no alternative. But that’s what we’d have to do to hopefully force tumblr to change anything. And they still won’t do it because their policy change isn’t about family values or what the userbase allegedly wants. It’s about money.

So, unless you stop using the site and app permanently, or for a long period of time, this isn’t going to matter to tumblr. And when you do, you need to do it in big numbers.

Leaving them bad reviews in the apple app store or on google play (where it’ll be harder because the current average rating is 4.4 stars and you need to edit or leave a LOT of bad reviews to drastically lower that), is going to do more to damage their reputation and thus do more to compromise their profit.

Guess what I just did.

guess what i’m doing

Putting this on my to do list for today

I have done my duty.

I am beginning to think boston dynamics is just fucking around at this point.
