I'm thinking about getting my ears re-pierced, so I'm doing some research on it and I found this really funny thing.

An article from a jewelry store (it's the first thing that pops up when I googled surgical steel alergy, which I am pretty sure I have) says, in the same sentence that nickel allergies (which are typically the cause of bad reactions to iron-based alloys) are very rare and then they say 10% of the population has some form of it. That's not very rare. That's 1 in 10 people. In medication side effects lists, 1 in 10 is considered common.

So, yeah, fucking stupid ass jewelry website trying to sell their stupid ass jewelry by misleading their readers/customers.

#irl stuff #jewelry #piercings #earrings #I say re-pierced because I got my ears pierced when I was like 4 #with a piercing gun and surgical steel earrings #which is actually pretty late for a girl to get her ears pierced here #most parents have their babies ears pierced before they're 1 #especially when in the early 2000s #millenial parents may have a bit more sense and respect for their literal infants bodily autonomy than gen x did #apparently people assumed I was a boy a lot because I had very short hair and no earrings #the phrase 'oh she's a girl? but she doesn't have earrings' was something mom heard more than once #so anyway at 4 the peer pressure and gender norms got to me and I got my ears pierced #queue 3 years of battling horrible eczema behind my ears because of an allergic reaction #and my parents not wanting the holes to close so I had to keep wearing earrings #I got golden ones after that which irritaded my skin much less #and then when I was in first grade I lost one earring and stopped wearing them all together #lo and behold the eczema stopped being an issue #I tried qearing earrings occassionally as a teenager #but I could never get more than a few days before the skin behind my ears became irritated again #by now I'm pretty sure the holes did close #but I'd like to give earrings another shot #I will need to do a lot more research and probably get allergy testing before I get there

Ted saying that no driver has had this level of attention on them since Michael Schumacher...

Gentlemen, a short view into the past; Max's debut season, his Red Bull debut, the literal rule changed as a result of his debut in the sport... oh and everyone and their mother calling Kimi Max 2.0 and Toto's second chance at signing debut!Max since he failed the first time around...

#max verstappen #f1 #formula 1 #formula one #the sky sports commentators were literally clutching their pearls when max debuted 😭✋️#and practically screaming crying throwing up after the red bull switch was announced #gleefully questioning whether he was ready for it #him then winning his debut red bull race was chefs kiss #also... you can't really compare the attention schumi got #we've seen glimpses of it no question with the attention max & charles get #especially Charles as he is the predestined son of ferrari #ferrari is a religion after all #but schumi was on a whole another level #i can see max & charles reaching and exceeding it #but it was an insane level of attention #in the peak of paparazzi #the 90s and early 2000s were something else #not to say it's gotten better because it really hasn't but the way its done has changed #adapted to better suit the world of digital media so to speak #schumi was a cultural phenomenon to a lot of people including baby me he was f1 he was ferrari #i'ma stop before i start writing an essay about how Michael was F1's Diana because i feel thats where my head is at the moment lmao #also not ted also forgetting seb #my man got a penalty 6 seconds into f1 career 😭✋️#and was quickly dubbed the crash kid #max was crashtappen #max seb michael were all labelled aggressive #seb & michael only got appreciation when they were leaving/ when they left the sport #the history book on the shelf is always repeating itself

What's up folks? Since today was just another do-nothing day, I decided to share this out of sheer boredom:

I will admit, the following image is actually pretty adorable:

Seriously, that is so freak'n adorable, yet also rather sus at the same time because really Black? Really? As much as I find Black hugging the "used car salesman" rather cute, it's also really weird. Plus, unbeknownst to Black, the so-called "used car salesman" is actually White, who pulls another callous prank on Black (WARNING: SPOILER IN PROGRESS) by selling him what appeared to be a bullet and fireproof automobile, naturally Black accepts the offer and, of course, it's a trap.

See. (Holy crap, that's gotta hurt.)

Black, you should call Geico (not Gecko, duh) in regards to the gouged windshield in your vehicle. A fifteen minute call could save you 15% or more on car insurance.

These images were taken from the strip "Armor Dilly," from "Missions of Madness," which is a reprint of "The Fourth Declassified Files of Spy vs. Spy." I do not claim ownership of any content. Spy vs. Spy belongs to the defunct MAD magazine and Antonio Prohias.

#spy vs spy #black spy #white spy #antonio prohias #spy vs spy paperbacks #mad magazine #used car salesman #black should call geico #he'll probably save 15% or more on his car insurance #I did in fact make a slight reference to the early geico gecko commercials from the late 90s and very early 2000s #either way just look at the gouge in his windshield #that's gonna be expensive AF to repair #I cannot get over how cute it was when black straight up hugged the “salesman”#at the same time it was also rather sus...especially considering that he wasn't even aware that the “salesman” was white in disguise

All my love and appreciation to small local book stores but there has got to be a way for y'all to sell digital audiobooks

#accessibility #disability #dyslexia #blindness #vision impairment #I swear it's actually worse than it used to be #at least in the early 2000's I could walk into a local book store and buy a CD set of an audio book #now everyone assumes you're on Audible or Libby #but Libby doesn't have everything and I don't want to use Amazon!!#also especially demoralizing when I go to the disability studies section of the bookstore to find titles #and none of them are in brail and none of them have audio books #like Come On

JoJo Siwa doesn’t deserve all the hate (and homophobia) she’s getting for her style and music; but she does deserve scrutiny for defending Colleen Ballinger and being both active and complicit in abuse that happened on her TV show. Like the girl has been under the public eye in unhealthy environments all her life; cut her some slack — not too much; she’s still a responsible adult — but if you’re going to dogpile her, then at least dogpile her for the right reasons. Jesus Fucking Christ.

#jojo siwa #discourse #Her comment sections are VILE #I actually don’t hate her songs. They’re basically early-2000s new old stock and I like early 2000s music #Is she trying too hard to look like an “adult?” Yes. But that’s understandable.#What isn’t understandable is screaming at children for no fucking reason #and JoJo not helping at all when a girl was hemorrhaging out her belly button #when JoJo’s mother told the girl to “put a pad on it”#I don’t care how afraid you are of your parents; you END that shit the second you see it #I was raised in a cult and I actively sabotaged my parents’ preaching work on multiple occasions #I didn’t know if I’d get kicked out if they found out I did that; the only reason I still have a relationship with them #is because they never found out about my later sabotage #Dad preached to a waitress dangling a cure for her sons’ disorder in front of her nose as incentive to join and gave her literature #So I went to the restaurant with him and insisted I pay for the tip.#I gave her eight dollars and a sticky note with a bunch of keywords about the cult’s abuses to look up #The next time I went there #she said didn’t understand the sticky note and asked me while he was gone what I meant #I hate talking to people especially when I’m under pressure because I trip over my words even when I’m NOT anxious #But her kids’ lives being free of a cult meant more to me than avoiding a momentary discomfort so I gave a quick rundown #She thanked me and heeded my warning basically playing along with me and not saying anything to my dad about it #I was 20; JoJo was about 19 when her show was going on #She had no excuse for allowing her mom to do that.#At the very least she could have said “Oh god I’m so sorry she said that. Please don’t hurt yourself for my show; go to the hospital.”#But no. She didn’t do that. In fact she screamed at children and joked that if they were crying then it was a good show.#Bitch come here and do that in front of me. I double dog dare you. I may only be 5’5” but I fight dirty and I’m angrier than you #Sorry. I guess I do hate her… for THAT specifically.#Like yeah I’ve fucked up with the kids I help and yelled when I didn’t have to but I HATED doing it and tried to do better later #Why someone would SCREAM at kids on purpose for long periods of time for no reason is beyond me

Apparently I can meet my goal of roughly 400,000 words in 6 months if I just somehow write at least 2,200 words a day ghbjh... Almost 2,500 today... huzzah...

#Definitely not going to be able to stick with it just due to like... being realistic about my energy levels and etc. ESPECIALLY as we #enter the Evil Summer and it becomes hot all the time. But... one can attempt.. at least...#I'm also a very slow writer since I tend to re-read and edit while I write. and only move onto the next section once what I'm writing #seems okay. Which is easy for visual novel type stuff. since ''sections'' of a conversation are more clearly marked (like if you #have a menu option with 5 different dialogue choices. finish the character's response for choice 1 before moving onto 2. etc.)#Especially since when I'm done with a whole quest I always follow it up by playing through it and picking every option and making sure it #actually all works okay and etc. So I am already going to see it all a second time. Then I can go back and reorder a few words or remove #certain sentences that don't sound natural when I read them out loud (I always read it all outloud to myself since it is... just peple #talking.. it should sound like natural dialogue in their voice. etc). But my ''first draft'' is kind of not as first drafty since I pause t #edit a lot as I go along. So it also takes longer probably than it would take other people who I think treat a first draft as more #of a loose guideline or something. AANYWAY...#80F in my bedroom right now again... huzzah... I did end up finishing and recording that sims build video before the heat wave (or is #it really a heat wave if it's just summer..?? lol) came in.. but now... augh.. the editing... plus the costume photos and all else... Much #to do as always.. Often such a long todo list.. a giant scroll hung upon the walls of the evil hermit wizard tower..#Anyhow.. I hope I can finish getting ready for bed early in time to reward myself with a game of tripeaks solitaire whilst I snack on #cheddar cheese and some of those preserved artichokes in a jar. hrgm... I actually have nasturtiums (ultimate best flower) on the #deck again this year but I had to move them all into a corner today because the leaves were getting burnt by the sun lol.. Also am now more #cautiously weaving through social media to ignore all dragon age news. NOT bc of spoilers (I actually love spoilers/literally never play #any game until there's full guides on it I can read to plan my entire playthrough based on knowing exactly what I want to happen lol + mods #and etc.) but just because I'm so busy with my ownprojects I simply do not have the brainspace to dedicate... Yes I love to think #about elves and fictional universe lore. but no.. I pretend I do not see it. Does not exist to me actually. ghgj.. OHH also took som #cool pictures of flowers in the garden section of a store and I wanted to do like.. character designs based on the colors of the flowers o #something. but that might just be another unnecessary project to add to the pile.. I want to commit to the daunting task of dyeing my #hair again some time.. hrm.. this is all of the updates I can think of. As if a bunch of random tags make up for never posting anything for #weeks on end lol.. alas.. too warm to think properly I suppose.. .. I neeeeeed a long lost relative to leave me some million dollar #estate in their will so I can have the resources to move to a colder climate or something ..augh #.. but for now.. I shall toil away in my little wizard tower trying to write 2000 something words a day whilst sweating and such ghbj

for the warriors ask game :D

🗺 : first map you ever watched?

🖼 : first amv/pmv you ever watched?

(I used to watch MAPs religiously those are my jam)

yay thank you! warriors ask game except the questions are all weird and niche as hell!

know: my memory is bad. i've been into wc for... well over a decade now, so these are probably not accurate xP my first warriors video was i believe a spoof video about ashfur and squirrelflight, but my first map and amv? uhhh unsure!

🗺 : first map you ever watched? - i didn't actively watch maps as a small kid, or at least i don't think i did? the first map that i entirely remember watching was during my second major warriors phase by the time i was closer to... 15 maybe?? as opposed to my earliest memories of wc which are from when i was 10 or younger lol. little fang, which is making me genuinely super misty eyed to rewatch, it's just so so good, from the style to the designs to how well it gets into jayfeather and his family with only animation and music, the composition of every part is so good, the designs, all of it. the sole reason little fang is one of my favorite songs to this day it might, miiight, have also been evelyn evelyn? that one was certainly one of the first maps i ever watched that stuck with me. the dovewing kinnie has entered chat

🖼 : first amv/pmv you ever watched? - i cannot remember. i watched sooo many amvs as a kid. not my FIRST amv, probably, but one of the earliest i recall is ashfur's revenge, which is delighting me so much to rewatch. this one was formative for me, i miss the style of flash-animated warriors amvs that (obviously:() aren't around anymore. i also have such a soft spot for tigerclaw is not one of thunderclan, one i was thinking about the Entire Time i was writing the exile scene in spottedfur's pride lol. i still love it so much, this is my first time rewatching it in like... a decade, im sure. its so good. im kind of blown away as i rewatch these that they ARE as good as they are, cuz i feel like it's common in the warriors fandom to treat old amvs as some cringeworthy lost art (in general i have strong opinions on how (unintentionally)cruel the internet starts being to things as soon as they enter "nostalgia" territory) - but there's still, like, genuine talent in these. there's a reason these amvs were as popular as they were, and not because we were all cringe 10 year olds who didn't know better, lol. also reminds me of tigerstar and the dog pack(be prepared) - which is one i have the most vivid memory of watching on my family computer, hehe. in general i love corvus katana's stuff, past and current oh my god i will never get this ask posted because i keep remembering ones that helped, like, form a lobe of my brain growing up. HOW TO SAVE BLUESTAR'S LIFE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS!!!! I AM TOTALLY NOT CRYING REWATCHING IT. YOU ARE. YOU ARE. cant believe i had a phase where i hated bluestar - i think everyone did because they spontaneously realized she was imperfect, immoral even at times, and made mistakes but hadn't developed the media comprehension to realize she was... actually meant to be complex and troubled and not just a perfect leader. god. bluestar. god. god. g (im also gonna use this question as a chance to gush about old amvs that i remember that are unfortunately lost to time: a hollyleaf one to hurricane by thirty seconds to mars (!!!! THIS ONE WAS SO FORMATIVE BUT IM LIKE 80% SURE ITS LOST MEDIA), bluestar heart heart head (PLEASE tell me im not the only one who remembers this one!!! i was devastated to learn it wasn't iconic or reuploaded anywhere (as much as i also think, again, in the nostalgia-sense, people act entitled to things like old amvs or people's art or whatever else)), NIGHTCLOUD GIRL WITH ONE EYE CHANGED MY LIFE?and... probably more of course that aren't coming to me now xP

i. didnt expect to ramble as much as i did with this? i just can't put into enough words how formative warriors amvs and the like were for me growing up :'DD they were my major start for digital art and animation (something i did a lot when i was younger but fell out of over time, but god i'd love to animate again, maybe do a classic wc amv to spottedfur's pride or something lol)

thank you for the question! I am so incredibly normal about warrior cats.

#babbles #wc #warriors #warrior cats #long posts #i knew i had a tag for ask games but uh. dont remember it soz #i poke at it a few times here but i do have strong opinions about how vapid nostalgia culture can be #especially w regards to the early internet where if something is deemed a universal enough experience #people stop caring about the person behind it and it just feels like ppl think its public domain #like a product of collective nostalgia and not a piece of art a person made #see every wacky comment on these amvs like 'Lol remember when THIS was peak animation?? like if youre still here in 2019!!!!'#or there being like a gritty lps popular reboot meant to ~deconstruct~ it #stuff like that. its why even though i was 100% a webcore furry 2000s kid i can never get into the culture surrounding it on tumblr #it feels too ironic for me even if it doesn't mean to be - i would rather art be treated like... art and not as 'haha remember THIS?'#everytime some kid from 2007's old art gets reposted for nostalgiawave animecore whatever i cringe a bit im sorry #unless it's for like. 1) w permission somehow 2) genuinely liking the art itself and not through a lens of 'this is kiddy nonsense lol'#idk i have many opinions. ANYWAY. WARRIOR CATS

antis going “oh shipping sukuita is bad and illegal cuz age gap and yuji is 15!” Like bruh….as if there aren’t PLENTY of popular media (buffy, vampire diaries, twilight) featuring the teenage mc dating 100+ yr old vampires….

#like bruh I watched tvd at 14 and shipped these …… everybody was doing it shshdh #and this is not even including all the ya books abt like angels and shit 😭#like teenage mortal x immortal has been a POPULAR TROPE #and there used to be so much of it like in the late 2000s/early 10s #but suddenly now it’s problematic ????????#like we were all so normal abt back then bc we had the brains to separate reality from fiction #especially when said fiction involves smth impossible like IMMORTALS #and like how u gonna tell me a trope I’ve been enjoying since I was a teenager myself makes me a bad person suddenly?????????#ok whatever just saw some ppl say how it’s ok to ship suk*go but not skit bc of ages and got frustrated #also calling skit illegal as if sukuna didn’t literally kill gojo #so murder isn’t illegal then ??????#or going by their other logic that if u like smth in fiction must mean u condone it irl…..so they think murder is ok …?#idiots

women’s trauma is also fetishized and sexualized and beautified in movies and media

i dont know what this is in reference to but yeah man, sure is

#i have a friend who’s doing her master thesis in film science on this subject exactly #especially during the early 2000s-2017 when there was an undeniable wave of the exploitation of womens trauma #<- in film especially #NOT that that it doesn’t still happen #asks
