would you guys like to see the greatest beanie baby poem ever written

For the record, this is runner:

Not at all what I thought it would be.

Exactly what I thought it would be.

Do Not call me a liar on my own post again!

It is a real poem! And it is magnificent.

Sorry wait, is "mean" an entire category of Beanie Baby poem??

If you’re wondering how someone looked at that beanie baby and thought “lets write a poem about snake murder”, it’s presumably meant to be a mongoose. Mongeeses (not the plural of mongoose) have one notable thing about them, and it’s that they eat snakes.

Hey if anyone starts shitting on furries in the notes, you’re getting blocked.

This isn’t a battle between furries and monsterfuckers. I’m genuinely curious as to the statistics.

You are, however, free to bully the people voting ‘neither.’

(This is a joke).

I feel like some people are reblogging this without noticing my username.

The butch lesbian/trans man "funky printed button down" stereotype is true but you must understand that the men's section of so many clothing stores is a bleak and miserable place. Clothing manufacturers are simply convinced that no one who wears men's clothes wants anything besides the most boring outfits possible. Often stripes are the most exciting it gets. If you want to wear clothing designed for men but happen to like "color" and "joy" in your life then often the funky printed button down or the hawaiian shirt are simply your only options, especially off the clearance rack.

Things british conservatives are mad about today public defibrillators

Is it woke to save people from cardiac arrest

Avatar

I actually think it's perfect to convert them into public defibrillators. Since it's a great way to save the phone box which is iconically British.

And it's a perfect place to put them, since it being a bright red box is stand out. And it's a little bit extra weather protection. Before this we were loosing phone boxes fast because we literally did not have any use for them.

I love the concept behind this, but worry about the practicality.  Defibrillators are . . . not one hundred percent safe, and I can see people using them on people who are having entirely the wrong sort of medical emergency (if you are choking or having an allergic reaction, presumably a defibrillator will just make your day worse).  I mean, I presume that if your heart has stopped someone might as well give it a try, what is it going to do, kill you? but I am not sure one can count on members of the general public not panicking and jumping the gun.  Please tell me there are directions for these things?  Please tell me that in Great Britain, people actually read the directions?

The public defibrillators generally need a code to access, which you get from 999 when you call them (if a defib is needed) - so you can't just grab one whenever. They are also automatic ones that talk you through the process and read the heart rhythm and will only give you an option of a shock if one is needed.

So they're pretty cool, especially since immediate chest compressions* and time to defib are huge deciding factors in out of hospital cardiac arrest outcomes (where the arrest was due to a heart cause that the defib can help with, anyway).

My home village has one though I'm not sure if it's been used yet...

*The chest compressions bit is vital too - if someone's unconscious and not breathing normally, call 999/911 and start them - (easy instructions here) https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/first-aid/cpr/ - hands only is fine and you don't need special training to potentially save a life!

That’s pretty cool!  Thanks for letting me know!

Public defibrillators are also generally kind of clever, they give the person using them instructions and can detect if the person actually needs a shock or not. The general idea with these AED devices (automated external defibrillator) is that any vaguely sensible adult should be able to follow the instructions and use them safely.

Frankly, if an actor is doing the whole “no, I’m 100% straight, I just fucked that guy to study for the role” routine, I genuinely do not care whether he’s telling the truth. Maybe he’s bi and covering his ass. Maybe he’s just really into method acting. Like, however you feel about straight actors playing non-straight characters, I know I can’t speak for the entire LGBT Community™ here, but as far as I’m concerned? If a heterosexual guy is so committed to the role that he’s willing to suck dick to get in character, just let him have that one.

I’ve been vying for a world in which straight men can have sex with other men and still “be straight.” I want to live in a world where you can fuck around without being aggressively labeled by strangers.

“I’m not sexually attracted to men, so I would prefer to have sex with women, but why argue about genitals when he’s just really good at what he does?”

“I had sex with a man just to see if I was gay or bi. While he was a lovely dude, I’ve established that it’s not really my cup of tea!”

“I’m straight. I just wanted to see gay sex in detail for myself. I learned something AND got to nut.”

I’ve been trying to put this into words for ages, but I agree. I don’t mind if a straight actor plays a gay role, because if a straight dude is willing to pash a dude on screen he’s probably a good egg. Homophobic straight guys generally aren’t auditioning for roles where they make out with other guys.

Disability rights means nothing without body neutrality, and I mean this 100%. Plenty of disabled people look different, have scars and are missing limbs, have poorly maintained hair and teeth, and calling yourself a disability rights activist but staring at people who "look/act weird" cannot be ok.

This is all fine from a consumer perspective but it utterly screws creators.

Did you know that if a company writes off your show or movie, you don't get residuals from it anymore?

If I were a creator, I'd rather my stuff be pirated than become lost media and cease to exist entirely. Just throwing that out there.

Avatar
oboeplum

This is a long shot, but what happens to your “portfolio” if it becomes lost media? Like if you want to show a potential employer/anyone else what you’ve done, doesn’t that get a little bit harder when the only way to see it is via pirating?

it’s true you can’t draw one continuous line that would do the trick. but if the kitty and bunny set out by going through the doors they’re marked beside and each walked the certain way their colored arrows show at the same time their “collective path” as a team would go through each door only once. The moral of the story is actually about friendship , and cooperation, because in this world there are tasks you can’t do on your own.

Marceline from Adventure Time is like the ultimate OC. She is a half vampire half human with Mommy and daddy issues but she has daddy issues twice cuz she had two dads.

Actually, Marceline is Half Human and Half Demon and lived through the apocalypse when she was 4 and was turned into a Vampire when she killed the vampire king

Tiktok SEEMS like it fills the same ecological niche as Tumblr circa 2014, but everything that happens on tiktok is the result of some multitrillion dollar conglomerate setting a Rube Goldberg machine I'm motion that makes people act insane , and this leads to an increase in profits for someone somehow. Tumblr was just good old fashioned mass hysteria.

“When someone on here stole human bones for a magic ritual it was because there was genuinely something wrong with them. If someone on tiktok did it it would be because they were trying to sell you shovels”

@clarascuro you can’t leave this in the replies

I think it’s important to clarify someone *did* steal human bones on tiktok but he’s not selling the shovels, he’s selling the bones and advertising his really dodgy bone storefront for questionably obtained bones
