the day that people recognise that nico rosberg has experience with complicated teammate relationships rather than just "trauma" 🙄 and that his insight into how they and the teams manage said relationships may actually be useful will be a beautiful day

My grandmother, born in 1936, understands that there is nothing wrong or innatural in being gay, so why can't you?
#people here gets more upset at a random gay couple they see in the street than at our government for openly calling themselves “fascists”#history is repeating itself#because people are stupid#viva l'italia antifascista

this is gonna be a bit of a vent, but i just gotta let it out
yknow how if a puppy or a kitten is lost near your house, you'll usually do what you can to help it out? you'll leave out food or contact someone who can care for it or if you're lucky enough even keep it
but if you find a bug (native, not invasive) like a moth or a beetle or a grasshopper, you'll usually kill it, right?
if you find a wild animal (again, native, not invasive) roaming around where you live, you'll want to have someone capture it or even kill it, right?
who gave us the right to do this? why are we as humans destroying the world around us bit by bit?
you didn't kill it for food, you didn't kill it for safety. you killed it because you didn't understand it.
did you know that there's only one species of snake that is dangerous to humans where I live? and yet I've seen one getting stabbed for simply stumbling into a rural house
did you know here only two species of spiders actually do pose a threat to humans? and yet every time someone sees one, they scream and want it dead immediately
did you know bees, even honeybees (that are considered somewhat an invasive species where i live) are so important to our surroundings that without them we'd go hungry? and yet everyone is only worried they might get stung instead
who gave us the right to take their lives? they might not be intelligent, but you can't prove they don't have consciousness. how would you like if your life was suddenly ended, for no other reason than because someone didn't like you? or was erroneously afraid of a threat you didn't pose?
it's stupid, honestly. if it were humans it'd be murder, but since it's just bugs, just pests, who'll miss them?
i will, even if no one else will. I'll mourn them for being misunderstood.
#vent kinda#tw animal death#I'm not vegan btw i eat a lot of meat and I'm anemic but i believe meat and animal products should be consumed in moderation#because people are stupid#why do only care about money#money is stupid#society is stupid#humans are stupid#i hope when God takes us he'll let these poor animals find peace#rant

white americans when you tell them that the idea of climate change as an impending disaster is a reductive first world perspective because it’s a tangible reality for many in the global south already:
#climate change#im TIRED#and i’m saying this as someone who also lives in the US.#im glad that none of you have to worry about your family and friends in other countries dying because of the heat#but this idea that “oh we have to stop it before we reach the extreme” is SO STUPID#because it’s already reached the extreme in some places!!#people are dying in south asia. people are dying in southeast asia. people are dying in africa. people are dying in central america.#people are dying in south america. people are dying in island nations.#what will it take you to care about these people#or will you not care until it’s people who look like you who are dying.

It's always so weird to come down from the biology heavens to see what the average person believes about animals, plants, ecosystems, just the world around them. I don't even mean things that one simply doesn't know because they've never been told or things that are confusing, I'm talking about people who genuinely do not see insects as animals. What are you saying. Every time I see a crawling or fluttering little guy I know that little guy has motivations and drive to fulfill those motivations. There are gears turning in their head! They are perceiving this world and they are drawing conclusions, they are conscious. And yet it's still a whole thing if various bugs of the world feel pain or if they are simply Instinct Machines that are Not Truly Aware of Anything At All????? Help!!!!!! How can you look at a little guy and think he is just the macroscopic animal version of a virus
#yesterday i made a complainy post about a whale edit having people confused about whale sharks and orcas' dolphin and whale identity#but honestly i cant even hold these things against someone. its confusing that whale sharks are called with two different animal names!#and if you only know about the whale dolphin porpoise divide then you may not know that dolphins and porpoises and others are toothed whale#i dont think anyone is actually stupid for not having this information preinstalled in their brains#if anything it makes me happy to get to explain things because i love explaining things that i know :D#however... this#it just makes me sad :(#its so weird when this whole thing is subjected towards OTHER VERTEBRATES too like fish or reptiles or amphibians#like man.... you are a fish. your ancestors were buddy buddy (or actually probably enemy enemy) with the ancestors of these guys#fish are like a whole other class of animal to a lot of people dont even get me started#they never get the same protections as mammals or birds do even if they are just as or more endangered#mmmmm i wont rant now#biology

First meeting
#stobotnik#doctor ivo robotnik#agent stone#sonic movie universe#i hope you all are noticing what i'm doing with stone's clothes specifically#white shirt pre robotnik black to fit his goth boss then colors when ivo starts wearing red#also i know we all like to think robotnik hated being assigned an agent but i present to you:#he sees it as a symbol of status kinda. stone hates being here#it just feels right to me. it's not that robotnik thinks the agent will be useful at all#he's just pleased that he got one#everyone else has an assistant why shouldn't he?#this ties to a very very stupid headcanon i have#and it's that robotnik's blood type is O negative#HEAR ME OUT he would hate that. he would hate being an universal donnor because he doesn't care about saving lives of humans ew#but then stone is also O negative so that means robotnik can receive blood from him if necessary#and that's mostly the reason why he was chosen to be his assistant#ivo is too important to die! and O negative blood isn't that common#Stone knows but probably no one told robotnik#then of course imagine stone getting injured and needing blood and ivo is like wait i can do that it doesn't matter what his blood type is#you get the point#i think. i'm pretty sure there was a point#oh well#oh the no hr joke. they're a shady goverment organization i don't think they treat their people that well#that being said maybe robotnik's treatment of stone was the reason they had to get an hr department who knows

I don't know how strictly accurate this is, but one of the things I find shocking about watching historical dramas is how many people there are around all the time---according to Madame de... (1953) a well-off French household in the Belle Epoque maintains a workforce of at least 3, and the glittering opera has staff just to open doors. According to Shogun (2024) you can expect a deep bench just to mind your household, and again, people who exist to open doors.
Could people....not open doors in the past? Were doors tricky, before the standardization of hinges? Because otherwise, the wealthy used to pay a whole bunch of people to do it for them in multiple contexts, and I find myself baffled.
#I mean..........listen.#maybe people in the past had superfluous staff just to open doors. because of reasons.#fair enough! that made their lives easier. okay cool. making things easier is what money brings you. except....#there are many parts of my life that would be so much easier with support staff! dishes. vacuuming. grocery shopping.#doors though? opening and shutting doors???#can't say that's come up as a particular concern.#I feel aggressively stupid asking this question but also. why doors. someone dial up a 19th century fella and explain.

so i'm joining the stem cell registry and donating blood regularly now, because i like, should. and it's been a good process and they're very nice. but as i was signing up for things, it had the box for sex at birth. Which is kind of an insane question. not "what hormones does your body primarily run on". but just... sex at birth. something that is not relevant for blood donation, and also extremely misleading??
they check your red blood cell count when you show up. if I told them my sex at birth was female they'd be fucking horrified by my count. testosterone does shit to the blood! It is so much more relevant to know that my body runs on testosterone! i keep seeing medical fields doing this.
i think that they assume it's nicer, somehow. they don't just ask sex anymore, they just go haha please tell us what you were called as a baby :) we're doctors so we need to know, it's important :)
except it's not. at all. it is more ethical for me to lie to the blood donation centre so that they don't see my blood and flag it, when it is perfectly good blood for people with more testosterone.
i have to go to a throat doctor next month. they specifically asked for my sex at birth. there was not an option to tell them what they should actually expect from my voice and body. when it asked me to list medications, it physically wouldn't allow me to list testosterone, and it flagged it.
it's nuts, because all these places have actually been really welcoming and cool about me being trans, but the actual system is horrific, it's just forcing me to out myself by having to reach out after to correct it. because answering honestly is medical misinformation.
anyway you can just fucking lie i guess
#mine#my legal gender is male why the fuck does it demand another option#it's so stupid. i'm glad things are better now but i bet like ten years ago i wouldn't have had to lie lol#because they wouldn't have known to ask#intersex people also. i'm so sorry

The toll, page 11
previous | next | master post
View the long form HERE
----------------------------------------------------------------
In-world, there's been rumors surrounding Rouge and Shadow for a bit, especially given they live together.
Not too much going on in this page, but those rings are working hard.
We will pretend he's holding this phone, because the story is in fact pre-iphone era. my bad besties... When I first sketched this, the story took place 2007/2008, 3 years after Black Doom. But it later changed to 1 year later, so it's 2005/2006.

I literally can't wait for the scene with Amy and Shadow, I just wanna explore their dynamic so much. I like her themes of compassion, thoughtfulness, tarot and destiny.
She's impulsive and hot headed, but also has great instinct and journalistic tendencies, unwilling to settle on what's on the surface. But at the same time, she feels like she has this doubt in her, like she isn't special enough or needs to prove it. But really, Amy doesn't need super speed and powers to impact the world, her power is that she cares and is totally willing to go against the flow to follow her heart, just like her idol.
#Amy would make hour long debunking videos on stupid drama because she can't stand how fake easily tricked and cannibalistic people be#sonadow#sonic the hedgehog#shadow#shadonic#sonadow comic#sonic x shadow#shadow the hedgehog#sth#the toll

I saw a post by another Jewish person on this site that said Christianity and Islam stole their culture. That isn't a popular opinion among Jews is it?
I mean it's not an opinion, it's historical fact. But also most of us wouldn't care if they didn't blame everything bad about their appropriated and heavily altered cultures on us, and also spent over a thousand years each killing us for not going along with and joining their appropriated and distorted versions of our culture and religion. Christianity was a creation of the Roman empire and its religious system. Once it moved beyond a handful of Jews to a religion of mostly gentile converts, it changed rapidly into something that was only on the surface like Judaism. That superficial version of Judaism with Roman culture underneath is an example of how imperial cultural theft is not a modern phenominon.
Islam is a similar situation, in which a non-Jewish man built a new religion out of the bits and pieces he liked from both Judaism and Christianity, set out to create an empire for that religion, and when Jews had the temerity to not convert, to this new religion, he branded them as deceivers and traitors, and led a massacre of them in his conquered territory.
This happened long enough ago that generations upon generations have been raised in these cultures founded on appropriation, and most Jews would never think to say that these modern people are responsible for this appropriation or should give up their cultures. However, the murder and oppression both Islam and Christianity as institutions have inflicted on the Jewish people is made that little extra bit more galling by those original acts of cultural appropriation.
#jewish#judaism#antisemitism#i say most jews because all groups have people who are Like That#but the overwhelming majority of Jews anyway#a s fischer original#there are no stupid questions

re: that fucking staff post. obviously death to algorithms, but i also wanna interrogate the wider underlying assumptions of their logic there cuz. is 'success' having lots of followers & lots of popular posts??? why is that the end goal of using this website. i don't open tumblr to get attention from strangers, i open tumblr to read funny jokes and interesting commentary and to see cool art. encouraging clout-chasing will only increase user engagement if you successfully get people literally addicted to the associated dopamine hit. what if we didn't have to do that!!! what if a website could be a place you went to on purpose because you had fun there!!!!
#yelling at clouds#you cannot be tiktok. we already have tiktok.#there is a limited number of people on this earth with smart phones and the free time to rot their brains online#your goal cannot be Endless Growth you stupid fucking capitalists#like sure the site is confusing at first. because you have to learn how to use it.#be better at explaining it do not fundamentally change it there is no such thing as universally intuitive design
