do you ever think about how these giant insanely smart superstructures use tiny puppets to communicate

Ahmed and his family have been verified by @90-ghost for a long time now. Still, in the face of inflated prices in Gaza, he struggles to collect enough money to purchase the simplest of things like milk and flour, which are now as much as $1,000 and $750 respectively.

Ahmed and his family are only trying to survive against the starvation that has taken all of Gaza by storm. Ahmed’s sister needs milk to feed her two small children, and Ahmed himself has even fainted from the hunger. Ahmed’s beloved cat has now died of hunger.

There is not enough food to go around. Those with food sell it at prices too steep for people in need to afford. Ahmed does not have much time. He and his family are already in critical condition from starvation and lack of shelter. He has already lost his cat, he cannot lose his family. He cannot lose his life.

Ahmed is able to accept donations at both of the below accounts. PayPal is more direct and will take fewer fees altogether, but if PayPal is not available to you we ask that you please donate to the GFM. It will get to him regardless of payment method. For other options, you can DM me or send an ask and I will make sure that the money gets to him.

We are currently looking for around $2,000 as a short-term goal. We are already partway to this goal at $271. It is urgent that Ahmed gets this money as soon as possible.

crazy how every time a female character gets cliche misogynistic writing we have to explain to people again that fictional characters are not real and do not choose things for themselves.

tumblr staff doesn’t want you to know this, but a great way to treat small amounts of granulation tissue to prevent it from becoming hypergranulation inside the canal of your neovagina is to make a hypersaline solution (more in tense version of regular saline) and soak a tampon in it, and then insert that tampon into your vaginal canal

ok like the weird route is fucked up but i think the fact that so much of it revolves around noelle is so interesting. because im ngl if noelle played deltarune she would definitely play the weird route. that kind of thing is like the way she plays games. she has headless cats in cat petterz. she'd play the evil route in dragon blazers while trying not to scream too loud. i think the fact that noelle is the one basically being tortured is meant to show that even in universe characters can feel that degree of separation that we feel when we do evil things in the games we play, and noelle feels it especially strongly, so it's like a kind of irony that in the narrative of the route she feels the way she does, because if she was one layer of reality higher, she'd be the one holding the controller.

Scientists have identified a novel rock type that has formed not over millions of years but within just 35. This unexpected lithification defies traditional rock-cycle models, which typically require thousands to millions of years.

hate the weird self-infantalizing “but i’m just playing with my dolls” shit people will pull in response to any critique of overall fandom trends, especially wrt racism, misogyny, transphobia, etc. very embarrassing to be a grown ass adult yet still so myopic and devoid of self-reflection

people are so entrenched in the fucked up idea of victim/perpetrator as a discrete dichotomy that they let it bleed into their discussions on societal oppression in a way that makes them both factually incorrect as hell and infantilizing and dehumanizing as fuck

a common example i see is white people saying stuff like “ohh the indigenous peoples were all so harmonious and peaceful until the evil white people arrived” and like… that’s just blatantly wrong?? much like groups of people around the world there was plenty of fighting and things like that and infantilizing indigenous people by taking about them like harmless toddlers is actually really shitty and racist behaviour

you’ll also see it in the way white people with guilt about being culturally christian talk about every other religion as if they’ve never done anything bad ever and christianity is the only religion that has ever harmed anyone (again this is factually incorrect and infantilizing)

but the core issue is that these people can’t seem to reconcile this because they have this idea that being a “victim” means someone is 100% morally pure and innocent always and forever and being a “perpetrator” means someone who is 100% cartoonishly evil 24/7

Puritanism has always stood in the way of revolutionary science for as long as it has existed. Now it finds itself seeping even into the dogma of the agnostic. The only cure is to get freaky with it.

in the same way that the spectre of "the racist" aids systemic racism and the spectre of "the rapist" aids rape culture, i believe the spectre of "the pedophile" serves the systemic subjugation and abuse of children.

This is an important message that needs to get out to Markiplier!

There is a gang war in LA. The first gang to get to 100 kills, gets to take over that part of the city. You NEED to be careful, Mark. You could be at high risk because of your high status. PLEASE be safe, everyone in or around LA, and please reblog this to get it to the youtubers in LA.

I just worry about their safety.

markiplier stay safe! <3
