Thinking about the werewolf from the hate mail Lemgo council pharmacist David Welman (1595 - 1669) got after being accused of being a werewolf

it's so fucking cute. That war wlf is frolicking

Someone drew this in anger, they drew this and said "look at what a terrible beast you are"

The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place.

I’d just like to point out that every single thing that has happened in the 6 years since I created this post has only reinscribed its absolute moral correctness in my mind.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

we could go back to telegraphs instead of social media. send your mutuals unspeakable strings of morse code at 4:30am

personally i prefer semaphore

so prefacing this with the fact that I know that the fun is sorta taken out of this by me translating, but not everyone will have the energy to look it up themselves, so I figured I'd help out.

Morse code: AEEEEE FELL DOWN AND TROKE MY PENIT TODAY YEOWCE OUCH YOUCH!!!! SENT FROM MY TELEGRAPH

Semaphore: NO NOT YOUR PENITS

the contrabass saxophone is such an absurd instrument

Have ya’ll seen the double contrabass flute before???

reblogging my own post because what in the fuck

i give you the contrabass tuba. Why is it real. I dont know.

Know what’s even better?

HYPERBASS FLUTE

my counter:

piccolo trombone 

I’m both glad and sad that string players are only limited to violin, viola, cello, and bass. Can you imagine a contrabass? Or a piccolo violin????

String players are not limited to just those.

I present, THE OCTOBASS

It’s so big that it needs keys to hit the strings.

And in the reverse direction there exists the Pochette. Translated from French, it means pocket, as it was a pocket sized violin like instrument.

This is amazing

someone post the archlute

This one?

Subcontrabass C ocarina

this is my favorite post i think i’ve reblogged it like 4 times

what do you mean the CDC just announced a deadly e. coli outbreak linked to mcdonald's quarter pounders

october 22nd, 2024

the united states centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) has linked a deadly e. coli outbreak to mcdonald's quarter pounders.

right now, 49 infections have been linked to this outbreak. this includes 10 hospitalizations and 1 death. these numbers are expected to rise, and only represent infections that have been linked to this outbreak. the CDC expects the true number of infections to be much higher, because most people recover from e. coli without medical intervention within around a week. and it can take weeks for a confirmed case to be officially associated with an outbreak.

it typically takes e. coli 3-4 days after exposure to cause illness. in some cases, such as those already associated with this outbreak, e. coli can cause death or disability.

so far, the cases associated with this outbreak were from september 27th to october 11th, 2024. infections may have occurred before or after this date range.

the ten states with confirmed cases so far (this list might expand, do NOT rely on this list to keep you safe): wisconsin, oregon, montana, wyoming, utah, colorado, nebraska, kansas, missouri, iowa.

mcdonald's has pulled the ingredients for quarter pounders in some states while they investigate, and quarter pounders may not be sold in those states for a while as a result.

as with all foodborne illness outbreaks, if you think you are affected by this, talk to your healthcare provider. even if just to record and report that you got sick.

as of when I am posting this, it is not yet known for sure which mcdonald's ingredient is contaminated, but the FDA thinks it might be onions. there is currently no list of which specific mcdonald's locations received the suspect onions, or what other restaurant chains, if any, also get their onions from the same source.

this outbreak is ongoing and moving quickly. there will be better answers and more information soon.

no the thing is theyll always want u to be obedient for *them*

AI disturbance overlays for those who don't have Ibis paint premium. found them on tiktok

how do you use these?

Put these on the top layer above everything, set layer to 'overlay' then adjust opacity. You can put it on whatever opacity you want but usually 30%+ is most effective.

The point is to obstruct the picture so AI can't read your image because AI counts every single pixel in your art

By this post alone, in less than 5 hours.

I need you all to calm the fuck down

Hey has tumblr heard about the Chase “Infinite Money glitch” debacle from tiktok yet because

I cannot believe

I cannot believe that people actually tried this

And even less can I believe that they’re going full Karen to Chase customer service workers. Like you did check fraud. You did a crime. You don’t get to complain about the consequences.

Wait like some people don’t know

So there was a glitch in Chase’s check deposit system. Usually when you cash a check, only a fraction of the full amount is available to you immediately until the check clears. The glitch made it so you could cash a checks full amount right away no matter how big.

So. People were writing themselves massive checks and immediately withdrawing cash they technically didn’t have and then closing their bank account. They were calling it an “infinite money glitch” like it’s the Sims or something.

But it’s not like a cheat code that was suddenly discovered. It’s just check fraud. It’s just straight up a felony. And a good chunk of them filmed themselves doing it.

So people are waking up finding they’re in the negative however many thousands of dollars they pulled.

What BAFFLES me is that people are calling Chase demanding their accounts be reopened, demanding their money back. Work from home Chase agents have shared the calls they’ve been getting from people angry they’re in the red. Like it’s not your money anymore, love, you STOLE it and they took whatever you had originally to try to pay the balance back!! That’s not yours anymore!

People are being SNIPPY on tiktok when people tell them that they did a CRIME. This one lady was like “you don’t know the law, my lawyer knows the law” and it’s like honey! Your lawyer is going to do his fuckin best but you did a crime and then you FILMED YOURSELF. You’re going to jail! Now is the time to start practicing what my therapist calls radical acceptance!

So that’s the tea on the money glitch. Most banks are giving them 30 days to pay the amount back but some people I’ve heard are already being arrested.

please please please remember that no matter what your manager says, it is never that serious. unless you are literally performing surgery or defusing a bomb, it simply is not that serious

last november i stopped working at an office job that was so deeply Corporate™️ it seemed like the setup to a bit. like, every joke you’ve ever heard about a miserable, soul-sucking, completely pointless pencil-pushing job was modeled after this place. management was so afraid of people having personalities that male employees were not allowed to have pierced ears per company policy.

as is somehow Mandatory for jobs like these, anyone in a position of power made it their job to make everyone else’s lives as miserable as possible with constant micromanaging. like, i got told in a strongly worded email to reorder the $2 plastic shelves in my cubicle that i used to store spare paper. it was fucking dire.

but anyways. the reason i quit has to do with what im talking about in the original post. despite the fact that i was consistently at the top of our department leaderboards (yes, we had those, they were emailed out daily) my manager decided that because i couldn’t stay late one day because of a doctors appointment, i needed a Talking To.

he spent an entire day hounding me about this single event, saying that it was a “growing pattern of careless behavior” and that i “forced [my coworkers] to stay until 6 pm”

obviously i felt awful. i was friends with everybody on my team! i didnt want to inconvenience them!! even thought i knew that he was being too harsh, the guilt trip still got to me. but every time i tried to defend myself and explain what was actually going on, he would double down and make it an even bigger issue. this kept going and going until the situation got spun into me being a terrible employee who needed an Action Plan, and i was Ruining The Department, and Everyone Was Going To Stay Overtime Because Of Me.

while i was dealing with this instead of, yknow, actually doing the work that is apparently so dire, i realized… it wasn’t that serious. like, not even fuckin close. the things my coworkers had to do overtime to complete? folding papers. and while yes, it was shitty that they had to stay so late to finish up, i wasn’t the one who made them do it. my manager did! and there were literally dozens of other options to pick from instead, including just leaving the work for me to do the next day! the work we did was nowhere near time sensitive, and certainly not worth the overtime the company paid.

but because i wouldn’t just roll over and accept a chewing out that i didn’t deserve, my manager decided to keep laying on the pressure until i caved. man was assigning legitimately apocalyptic levels of intensity over folding papers. i went from being an asset to the team to getting yelled at by both him and his manager for my “poor performance.”

so i quit. because it’s not that serious.

this whole shitshow is a standard tactic that employers use to trick you into signing away more of your life to the job. make you feel stupid, make you feel like the menial tasks you perform have these dire consequences that simply do not exist. ramp up your anxiety over nothing. they will punish other people because you aren’t slaving away hard enough, and then say that it’s your fault in the first place. you’re not being a team player! you’re not pulling your weight! don’t you see that everyone else is doing their part? don’t you understand what will happen if you don’t contribute?

it is absolutely fucking vital that you don’t listen to any of it. it is even more so that you don’t fall for it when they try to pull this tactic to get you to turn against someone else. the most effective tactic to get someone to fall in line in a workplace is social ostracization. don’t be a tool for your boss to use to manipulate someone else.

it is never that serious.

I used to work in an environment like that. I left, and the entire team fell apart.

Now? I work someplace where everyone will give you shit if we see evidence of you doing unpaid work outside of business hours.

"Tha fuck were you doing answering emails on a saturday? and what's with this 11pm ticket note?" we're micromanaging each other to keep everyone's boundaries clear. it's great. "hey, get the fuck out of here and go enjoy the long weekend" or "go kick ass getting your oil changed" or whatever.

My supervisor got a text from upper management on a day he'd taken off to call into a meeting that hadn't existed when he went OOO, and my entire team, including his boss, came hollering. Not at him, but at the bigwig. (The meeting was rescheduled.)

Supportive workplaces exist. Someimes you're the one who helps people see that work/life balance is a solid wall, not a permeable membrane.

It can feel scary and stressful at first! but all you need to do is stand up for your coworkers when they have outside obligations, you don't even need to advocate for yourself, because folks will remember and grant the same support to you. And then it becomes an expected part of the office culture that when you're off, you're off.
