The way this archeologist tries to keep a straight face while talking about a 2000-year-old dildo on Chinese state TV 😭😭😭

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Okay listen we need to allow Americans the same ability to claim their versions food by adding their country’s name in front of it the way the rest of us do. We had some Texans living with us for a week and when we talked about American food one of them said “I don’t want to include pizza because we didn’t invent it” and we were like “Just say American pizza. It’s way different to an Italian pizza anyway. Shit, as a Dane I can tell a Swedish pizza from a Danish pizza”

Like there’s a reason why it’s called Swedish Meatballs it’s because literally every country has their own version of a meatball. Look, on the left are Swedish Meatballs and on the right are Danish Meatballs. We live right next to each other!

So as long as you know you didn’t invent it and that it’s different from the original I think it’s perfectly fair to say American pizza or American meatballs for that matter. I mean, American Italian food is acknowledged as a thing so loosen up a bit and have a snack.

Imagine living at Avengers Tower where Loki also lives. After the election, you talk about packing your bags and leaving the country. At night Loki appears next to your bed, asking you to stay.

Sometimes I think about how and why some people had such a *bad* reaction to the end of Steven Universe, specifically in regards to the Diamonds living.

Even though they no longer are causing harm to others and are able to actually undo some of their previous harm by living, some folks reacted as though this ending was somehow morally suspect. Morally bankrupt, even.

And I think it might be because so many of us were raised on a very specific kind of kids media trope:

They all fall to their deaths.

Disney loves chucking their bad guys off cliffs. And it makes sense- in a moral framework where villains *must* be punished (regardless of whether their death will actually prevent further harm or not), but killing of any kind is morally bad for the hero, the narrative must find a way to kill the villain without the protagonists doing a murder.

It's a moral assumption that a person can *deserve* to die, that it is cosmically just for them to die, that them dying is evidence that the story itself is morally good and correct. Scar *deserves* to die, but it would be bad for Simba to kill him. So....cliff.

Steven Universe, whatever else it's faults, took at step back and said "but if killing people is bad, then people dying is bad", and instead of dropping White Diamond off a cliff, asked "what would actual *restorative*, not punitive, justice look like? What would actual reparations mean here? If the goal is to heal, not just to punish, how do we handle those who have done harm?" And then did that.

Which I think is interesting, and that there was pushback against it is interesting.

It also reminds me of the folks who get very weird about Aang not killing Ozai at the end of Avatar. And like, Ozai still gets chucked in prison, so it doesn't even push back on our cultural ideas of punitive justice *that much.* and still, I've seen people get real mad that the child monk who is the last survivor of a genocide that wiped out his entire pacifist culture didn't do a murder.

Ok, so with all these posts going around aboht election interference and calling for a recount, i wanted to find evidence that weren't twitter screenshots

Tl;dr - bomb threats yes, 3 fires at ballot boxes (1 had damaged ballots and theyre fixing it), 20 million unaccounted votes is FALSE, this shit takes time to count so be patient, cuz they are STILL COUNTING

Bomb threats at polling places:

This claim is legit, as well as the source being from russian email domains. No actual bombs were placed or set off.

Burning ballot boxes:

3 incidents of burning ballot boxes have been confirmed for this election in Portland, Oregon and one in Vancouver, Washington, both of which are suspected to be from the same individual. Republican and Democrat officials have spoken out against this, ballot boxes were guarded after the incidents started, and fire suppression systems inside the ballot boxes saved the majority of the ballots, except for one box where 488 ballots were damaged due to a malfunction of the fire suppression system.

Fires were also confirmed in Arizona by a man who apparently just wanted to be arrested and had no political motivations.

No fires were confirmed in Georgia, despite repeated claims that most of the fires were in Georgia. Georgia changed their election laws in 2021 in regards to absentee votes. Ballot boxes have been notably targetted for election conspiracy and mistrust. Take this into account when you see outcry about ballot boxes in any way.

Votes not being counted:

The screenshots im seeing particularly note California, which is the state with the largest amount of registered voters. California is also dealing with massive wildfires rn. Its gonna take a couple days, and the election isnt officially over yet. Calm down

20 million unaccounted votes:

Yall . . .

This shit takes time. Theyre not "throwing your ballots out" or "deliberately not counting votes". Be so for real

Some of this shit is valid, and should probably be known. Some of this shit is making yall sound like trumpers in 2020. Be smart. Have critical thinking.

If youre gonna reblog or comment with claims i better see credible evidence to back your claims up or youre getting blocked

Edited to add a TL;DR, no other changes

Best season.

When I was little my mom’s meatloaf was my favorite food. But ONLY her meatloaf. I didn’t like anyone else’s, and she told me that she would teach me how to make it when I was older. And when I was like 19? She finally taught me, but she told me never to tell anyone else and I was like weird but okay

Anyway, she was super fucking homophobic and abusive to me when I told her I was gay, so here’s the recipe

4-6 lbs of Hamburger/turkey burger

1 pk onion soup mix OR ranch mix

1 TBs ketchup

1 Tbs spicy brown mustard,

1 Tbs bbq sauce

1 Tbs steak sauce

1 egg

mix, shape into a loaf in a big pan, and bake at 350 for 2 hrs (maybe 2 and a half if you’re feeling dangerous)

You can get almost all of these ingredients at the dollar store, and have leftovers if it’s just you. The leftovers make great tacos if (taco seasoning is also like a dollar). Enjoy your revenge loaf

My 9th birthday party was a costume party because I was born right before Halloween. It was the biggest party I’ve ever had to date- all my cousins, all my friends from before I had moved, all the girls in my then current 3rd grade class. I was dressed up as a dead girl scout.

All the parents were upstairs mingling and drinking wine while the kids were left to ourselves in the basement and backyard, and, if you know anything about 9 year old girls, it wasn’t long before we wanted to start summoning demons. One girl had already gone home early because a brick fell on her head while she was bobbing for apples, and we thought…something about blood being spilled would make it easier to summon a demon? Kid logic, you know. Anyway, we decided on Bloody Mary, because the only other ritual me and my cousins knew had to happen at midnight in a bathtub, and it was My Party™ so I got to make the executive decision.

My basement had this really creepy bathroom- if you looked out the window, you’d see it was partially underground, so it was always dark and smelled like mud, and there was this HUGE mirror on the far wall, so big you couldn’t not look into it no matter what you tried. The room was big enough to fit a big group of people in at a time, so we all decided on who’s in what group…I think we came up with like 3 or 4 groups? Anyway, being the birthday girl, I was obviously in group number one.

There were 12 of us in this group, and my one friend did NOT want me to go in. She was convinced this would be the day I died. She didn’t see the obvious benefits of summoning a blood soaked witch who wants to scratch people’s eyes out. I told her to stop being a wimp, and another girl from school, who came dressed as giant baby, laughed and handed me her giant novelty rattle, ‘in case you need to defend yourself’. You know, girls supporting girls.

We go in. All 12 of us giggling and nudging each other as we try to get a good view in the mirror. Then, quickly, whoever was in the back of the group slammed the door and turned off the lights. The ‘Monster Mash’ soundtrack that was blasting in the other room was now only heard vaguely. We could only see shadows in the mirror, and we immediately grew quiet and serious, squeezing our eyes shut and taking a deep breath, before all of us, in near perfect harmony, begin the ritual. Spinning slowly, purposely, chanting ‘Bloody Mary’ three times. It reaches and end, and, no one breathing, we open our eyes.

There are 13 shadows in the mirror.

Everyone starts screeching in terror. As everyone scrambles to the door, no one can manage to get in unlocked in their panic. The girls outside the bathroom start screaming too, knowing their friends are about to get murdered. Mary Herself, the 13th shadow, just stands where she is as my friends panic at the door, not reacting. I had stayed watching the mirror in frozen panic while the others ran, and suddenly Mary took a step closer to me. That managed to unfreeze me, and suddenly all I could feel was the big rattle in my hand, so before I could truly comprehend what was happening, I turned and swung at her with all my might. Four years of softball, bitch!

As I’m now beating the absolute shit out of a demon, I start screaming even louder than before, and trust me, I have the perfect horror movie scream- so now everyone outside the door can make me out above all the noise and thinks I’m getting killed first, unaware of the fact I’m actually kicking spectral ass. Distantly, I hear the friend who didn’t want me to go in pounding at the door, sobbing “I PROMISE YOUR FUNERAL WILL BE BEAUTIFUL, MOLLY, THERE WILL BE SO MANY FLOWERS-”. Trying her best to comfort me in what she believed were my extremely violent last moments? Girls supporting girls.

I’m still beating Mary with the rattle at this point- like, no way in FUCK was I about to die at my own birthday party. No way in fuck was I about to let all these other girls die. Surely getting everyone killed wouldn’t have helped my popularity status, you know? I was still just The New Kid. Mary throws a punch at me and I kick her in her ghostly shin. Life and Death stakes are a little too high for me to feel okay about losing this fight.

Suddenly, finally, one of the other screaming girls gave up fighting with the locked door and started slamming at the wall, and made purchase with the light switch. She flipped it on, flooding the room with a muted yellow light, and we all saw the face of our demonic, would-be killer….

Who was actually my cousin Jackie, who got the group numbers mixed up and slipped in the door right before we closed it without anyone noticing. She had stepped closer to me to ask me if I saw anything, since she couldn’t figure out what all the other girls were freaking out about.

The song 'Monster Mash’ started playing another loop as the whole party stared cracking the fuck up.

Deeply fascinated by the wording in this headline. Yes. Let’s give land back to the sea. Poseidon demands it.
