BUT HEY!

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

eating apple slices doesn’t even come close to the primal animalistic experience of eating it whole. Sometimes I eat the core too. just to feel something.

I have another one. Possibly more controversial. Football (American) should be banned. Studies have been done on football players’ brains postmortem (the only current way to diagnose CTE) and found that NINETY PERCENT had permanent brain damage from constant impacts, 99% for NFL Players. Ban it.

This is also why I highly encourage broadening your interests. Find multiple things you love, don’t focus all your time and energy into one singular thing that can be ripped away all at once. Don’t idolize celebrities. As someone neurodivergent I get how hard that is, but it’s vital.

I really do hate being the debbie downer or the “too woke” friend but you HAVE to stand your ground when it comes to your morals. Even when it hits something you love. NOTHING will change if you just let things slide when you have the ability not to. It SUCKS. It sucks SO BAD. But you have to.

she constantlyyyy surrounds herself with MAGA people, her fiance literally said it was a “great honor” to have trump at super bowl lmao like im sorry but the signs are all there that she at the VERY least is tolerant of MAGA ideology, and neutrality is complicity.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8ALagtd/ for your viewing pleasure, i genuinely cried watching it they look so happy

The boats carrying food and water never made it to Gaza, but because military efforts were focused on the boats, people in Gaza were able to fish. The flotilla wasn't for nothing, they fed the people ...

If anyone needs good news- the Global Sumud Flotilla distracted Israel enough that Palestinians were able to FISH without being attacked and brought in a whole huge net of fish. They may not have reached shore with aid but their efforts still managed to bring them food

🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened:

Now that cold weather is approaching are the people who claimed using AC is irresponsible going to also yell at people using their heating (something far worse for the environment than AC) or is only one heat extreme worthy of not making yourself sick or dying from

I’ve started noting down words I have to look up while reading. Here are some from the last few months or so (the line separations are by book)

A list of words/phrases-
“schadenfreude, susurrus, karahi, sherwani, rubbed his knuckles across his chin?, monoglot, lackadaisical, parochial”

I swear to god if Nintendo doesn’t sue after that DHS pokemon video. Won’t stand against fascists but will sue a single disabled man to the point of basically making him an indentured servant (he owes them 30% of his income for the rest of his life.)

Is this the rapture everyone’s been talkin about

A screenshot of an announcement post that says “AO3 will be down for about 20 hours starting at 07:30 UTC on September 26 (what time is that for me?) while we prepare some improvements to collection browsing. Please follow our status page for updates.”

I miss the Captchas of yore what the fuck is this shit

A Captcha challenge, the top says “tap on items that require what’s shown to properly develop” with three images below it of plant sprouts underneath the sun. Underneath those is a 3 by 3 grid of images, four with cars, two with wires and three with sunflower bouquets. All the images look to possibly be AI generated.

Do men actually expect their random pickup lines in public places to work. Like, did the man who just asked me to smoke a cigarette with him while I was walking back to car with takeout actually hope I would accept. Did he actually think there was a chance. Or is it just for the love of the game
