I remember watching Last Week Tonight’s episode about Turbotax and Intuit and the other vultures who had managed to dilute and circumvent a law that was supposed to help taxpayers, to instead line their pockets by lying to people and scamming them… I remember being so sad. It was a comparatively little thing, not life threatening, but knowing that the entire system is built this way– I don’t know, it was so stark.
Given the choice, tax-prep companies, healthcare insurances, “energy” corporations, even academic publishing… they will scam, steal, wreck the environment or leave people to die, if it means they can make a cent. It’s not all equivalent of course, but it’s the same principle of profits before people.
And if someone tries to regulate or legislate, they will mobilise all their considerable ressources to ensure the law doesn’t pass or is sufficiently mangled so that they can continue scamming, stealing, wrecking or even killing.
All perfectly normal, day-to-day business.

We deserve to live in a society where companies like Intuit cease to exist

really do not think people understand the extent to which palestinian sites/landmarks (especially muslim ones) were destroyed, beginning in 1948 until now, even in cities. the oldest extant mosque in jaffa (al-bahr mosque) was built in 1675, even though islam came there in the 7th century

OKAY! Chatot rant in tags below! Read at your own discretion.
#okay starting from the beginning of where ppl usually dislike him. apple woods chapter.#he doesn’t give hero/partner the CHANCE to explain themselves despite them being relatively good recruits up until that point.#and that legit might be my only gripe with that chapter bc!!! stories need conflict! I LIKE the conflict in apple woods!!!#hero and partner being punished so something they didn’t do!#the misunderstanding! how team skull (Skuntank) actually outplays the main duo with a clever yet rotten trick. I LOVE that it segways into-#one of the more sweeter scenes of guild members looking out for eachother. I LIKE APPLE WOODS CONFLICT.#but chatot just. not giving them a chance. is so dumb.#I’d personally fix this by having a lil montage of hero/partner fucking up on jobs. A LOT. and chatot giving them a pass every time.#and let the perfect apple incident BE the one where he puts his foot down and doesn’t listen to them. bc he’d given them loads of chances.#and doesn’t want to hear any excuse.#but yeah. I legit dont mind him during that chapter except for that really stupid and frustrating moment.#NOW. CHAPTER 17.#UGGGGHHH WHERE DO I BEGIN#Him not believing hero and Partner about Grovyle and the future being in ruin? FINE. ACTUALLY GOOD. BC CHATOT WOULD BE SKEPTIC.#IT FITS HIS CHARACTER!!#BUT WHAT DOES SUCK. IS HIM GOING ‘Dusknoir isn’t the bad guy. he didn’t do anything wrong’#WHEN HE LITERALLY KIDNAPPED HERO AND PARTNER RIGHT I N F R O N T OF HIM.#(​NO LITERALLY. HIS CHARACTER IS IN THE FRONT ROW WHEN IT HAPPENED.)#and him. having the GALL to tell hero and partner they must’ve been ‘seeing things’ and downplaying the HELL they went through.#despite them being missing for hours/days. his own guild recruits. and his angry sprite showing up.#like. I think that’s when I genuinely despised him.#that and him going ‘OH I BELIEVED YOU THE WHOLE TIME HEEHOO :)’ shit was so fucking annoying.#just playing it off as a joke the second the guild started to believe hero and partner.#IMAGINE IF HE W A S ACTUALLY TESTING THE GUILD’S TRUST. SHOWCASING HIM AS THE MORE RESPONSIBLE AND RESPECTFUL RIGHT HAND OF THE GUILD.#and yes. Brine cave he saves hero and partner. but at that point I just didn’t care anymore.#he fucked those two over so much. that I didn’t care what ‘valiant’ sacrifice he had.#and he grills Team Skull for what they did OFF SCREEN. they couldn’t even give us THAT.#<<< THAT or him outright saying sorry would’ve been nice. IKIK his ‘actions’ or whatever but.#eughh again this is all imo. I’m not trying to make people hate him or change their mind.#I’ll get into positives in the second post cause I’m running out of tags

Some of my favorite in tape designs!!!!!! (That I designed.. lol)
Tumblr media
They are all "stamp" type tape, i even paid the factory extra to get custom molds for these because I love the differing lengths and shapes of real stamps as well as amore delicate line of circles vs the default molds with huge circles.

There was a little drama at some point because the factory was letting people use my mold that I paid for but I cleared it up @_@;;
Anyway I don't go to cons anymore so I will probably have to stop selling washi tape cause they don't do so hot online especially for the price we have to sell them at to make it worth it for these complex designs + foil etc. No regretti tho, to see them in person is worth it.
All my washi tape (there's more than this too lol) are buy 4 get 1 free~

youtube ads becoming first one 5-second ad then two 5-second ads in a row or one 15-second ad then a million unskippable ads in the middle of videos instagram quietly inserting one ad in-between every 5 or 10 ig stories then 2 in-between 4 ig stories not to mention the new reel- and explore page ads. a quiet tumblr ad banner at the top of your dash then photo ads in-between posts then video ads then video ads in-between every 3 or 5 posts that play audio automatically while youre trying to read a textpost. the most popular, paid subscription, news apps adding ads between their articles, then in articles, then paywalling new articles further with a new "news +" subscription and putting ads in those as well. once every 15 tweets there being an ad, then every 5, then theres also an ad if you scroll to the replies. you cant look at tweets without logging in anymore, theres just no option for anon scrolling. facebook ai mining on instagram, facebook ai profiles hyping up ai generated photos im fucking going insane ai temu ads and gallery app ads and printer app ads and higher subscriptions while still seeing ads and i cant fucking do this anymore!!!!! its fucking shameless and worst of all its silent and nobody talks about how half the things we see anymore are fucking ads and we dont own a single thing we pay for and companies can just randomly raise their prices through the roof and nobody says anything about it

you know it's bad when tumblr's being the more mature social media site when it comes to rancid takes on izzy's death
#ofmd#holy shit twitter's devolved into a battleground#what is WRONG with yall involving david jenkins in your beef#you dont have to like what happened but#how many fucking years in fandom does it take for people to learn to be civil#and not base their entire identities around characters so if anything happens to them it's a personal attack#that they then take straight to the creator#if a character dying causes you that much distress then that's a You problem and david fucking jenkins is not responsible#and he's not your therapist#and besides. just because something happened you didnt like doesnt mean it was a bad writing choice#but even if it were. you never have the right to make it anyone else's problem#i cant imagine having the gall#don't do this guys. the cast and crew are so lovely to us. don't make them stop interacting with us#people saying this show was a comfort show. or a safe space show or whatever. thats great for you#but it's not djenk's responsibility to cater to you and not his problem if the show doesn't meet your infinitely high expectations#he's telling a story. things will happen in those stories.#and it's actually p rare on tv that creators are getting to tell the story the way they want so personally im grateful#if you don't like his vision then don't watch it. you don't have the right to bully him. seriously whats wrong with you#cause yeah im sure con o'neill would love what youre doing huh#the fate of a fictional character is sliiiiiightly less important than being kind to people in the real world yknow#only tagging this so people can block for spoilers

like idk i'm very blackpilled on the subject of abuse. i feel like the term is often invoked dishonestly or as a way of obscuring the complexities of a situation and i'm less trustworthy of it than i should be per my moral principles. this isn't me saying that it's always a false claim or that it's never something that happens, but that i've run into enough situations where, upon asking follow-up questions, it was just a matter of standard-issue conflict, for me to have more of a critical eye here. i understand that the suspicion reflects poorly on me, but you also shouldn't lie, dude.
i guess the most consequential example here is that time i was hashtag cancelled by an old friend group bc i didn't think a mutual friend's under-medicated bipolar freakouts constituted abuse. and they acted like if i engaged in cordial conversation with him at all, this was some kind of massive betrayal. what a fundamentally stupid way to look at the world. i wouldn't call myself envious of them.
am i engaging rationally? is the example provided enough of a core memory to blind my judgment? who knows.

Just back from pride and there was a concert and some lovely performances (unfortunately there were many I couldn’t stick around for)
But as the opening act was doing the final song, a group of Palestinian protesters barrelled up onto stage with their banners, and while all the performers held their own well for the most part and were able to finish the performance, it still knocked everyone off balance.
They then stayed onstage and interrupted the next segment to talk about Palestine and how it’s a genocide. How many of the organisations funding pride this year were supporting Israel. And while I know that’s so important and needs to be talked about, it made everyone uncomfortable. No one forgot Palestine at the parade! As far as I could see (considering I missed some of it), nearly all of the groups and floats marching had at least one Palestine flag, and many were chanting and had banners supporting Palestine. There was a lot of support for Ukraine as well, which no one is talking about as much (as far as I’ve seen) since it’s been overshadowed.
It was lashing rain. Everyone was soaked and there was little shelter or seating available, and it was taking a lot from people to stay at the celebrations in th weather, and the mood immediately dropped.
If it wasn’t for the amazing drag king who came on after they were finally ushered off giving an inspiring impromptu speech about the topic and tying it back to pride, I don’t think the choir that came on after would’ve been able to recover the mood on their own.

trying to find information about body hair and, ironically enough, tearing my hair out at the fucking results. it's always the same thing everywhere, even on the social healthcare system fucking WEBSITE.
i am technically half mediterranean in terms of genes and i have black body hair and quite a lot of it, as with a lot of women / girls / estrogen people / you get the gist.
and eeevery fucking website is like "hirsutism in women and what are the causes, how to know why there is excess hair, etc" and once you take out all the medical reasons (linked to medicine taken or kysts or things like this) it fucking ends on "most of the time we don't find any reasons why there is this excess hair, no cause is found"
IT'S HERE BECAUSE IT GROWS THERE, DIPSHIT !!!!!! it's not fucking "excess hair" when it grows there on hundred of thousands people, it's not fucking excess if you stop fucking comparing it to a narrow, socially fenced box about what is acceptable in women and what is not ! "most of the times we don't know why there is an excess of hair" then maybe it's just hair and there is no excess ? "too much hair"... compared to what standart ??

What people without anxiety don't understand is that I'm constantly walking around feeling like I'm in mortal peril, and sometimes the feelings are right
