This is peak design

Can't believe no one posted chair (for sitting)

my apologies if this has already been posted here but im sharing this. here is what someone said on twitter along w this image:

the central image text reads: “@everyone I HAVE BEEN RELIABLY INFORMED GUARDIAN JOURNALISTS ARE SNOOPING AROUND ASKING FOR TRANS PEOPLE TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT DIY HRT. THEY ARE PARTICULARLY LOOKING FOR UNDER-18S DOING DIY. SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE SAID, BUT DO. NOT. ENGAGE. SPREAD WIDELY. DO NOT ENGAGE. WE NEED THIS NOTICE SPREAD OUT VIA EVERY GRASSROOTS SUPPORT GROUP AND SOCIAL CIRCLE IN THE COUNTRY.

URGENT. IF THEY GET EVEN ONE TO TAKE PART IT BECOMES A NATIONAL CONVERSATION. TOP ALERT.

reblogging to add the Trans Safety Network guidelines for media engagement

do not engage with the Guardian if you’re trans and a minor. do not speak with the Guardian on DIY HRT.

heck, unless the journalist is reputable and has a track record of good reporting on trans issues, do not speak with them about DIY HRT. seek out your local organisation if you are approached by a journalist.

I obviously can't verify the screenshot, but the guardian is a toilet, and the guidelines for media engagement posted are worth reading.

It's never worth engaging with an interviewer that has malicious intent. There's no good point you can make that they can't simply redact or spend an infinite amount of time figuring out how to spin in a negative. You've almost certainly seen some right wing interviewers who are so inept at this that they make themselves look bad, but even they're not worth the risk talking to. Their base does not care at best, and it'll help them at worst.

i think rice with things on it & also some sort of sauce is like basically the best food genre tbh

I’m actually really fun once you get to know me (takes 3-4 years).

Anyone wanna read a 500 year old Welsh poem about Pussy?

Cywydd y Cedor

By GWERFUL MECHAIN (fl. 1462-1500)

Translated from the Welsh by Jon Stone

Drunk with vainglory, idiocy or drink,

every male poet does it, ever to the (let’s be frank)

rolled eyes of educated women;

that is, trill blandishments in paean or sermon

endlessly mapping the female form.

It’s ‘your hair lay on the pillow like a sleepy golden storm’,

‘girl of the golden brow’ and ‘soft wet eyes’,

‘sweet rosy breasts’, something dancing like fireflies,

‘the dunes of her arms’ and ‘moonbeam legs’,

hands that are usually dainty and a smile that snags

the heart, their tongues all the time skirting round

the epicentre, where children are made and cocooned,

and its snug vestibule – so obviously awesome,

the bright broken loop of it, tender-plump blossom,

which I, for one, can rifle at my whim.

Gentlemen, I give you: the knicker-dwelling quim.

They are things of some strength, taking regular beatings,

meticulous courtyards, plumy as bulls’ tongues,

and yes, I’ll say it – every vulva is gorgeous,

with their full and cushiony lips, their deep gorges

outdoing the length of both sprawled hand and spoon

and their dark that engulfs all six inches of hard-on.

O, cunt which doth tarry near the swollen arse!

Thou art the desk on which ought be written verse,

and incarnadined sibling to poetry itself,

(I’d rather read about you than bloody Beowulf!)

And those saintly men, those poor innocent men

should really, whenever offered the chance, summon

the courage to document you thoroughly,

that the poets among them break out in a cacophony

of odes to the cunt, prize-winning epics that chart

your silk and subtle seam. Let’s have a Chanson de la Twat,

a Punanica, a Tale of the Grove Where I Knelt,

where the bard remarks: Such a feast beneath her belt !

Her fuzz was the fuzz of a first rate ballsack,

her welcoming knothole electric and sud-slick !

I say: let the silence end, and bless this bright circle,

this wonderful, shock-haired, sour-proud fuckhole.

Original Welsh version below:

Genuinely very good translation but for the non Welsh speakers I really cannot stress enough that the original Welsh is the most beautiful, intricate, woven tapestry of exquisite wordsmithing you'll ever read

this is my all time favourite post I've ever seen on reddit everyone read it please

the stuff going on at columbia campus rn is genuinely incredible

despite mass arrests by NYPD and several students (including rep ilhan omar’s daughter, isra hirsi) being suspended for their participation and having their university identification deactivated, the gaza solidarity encampment is still going strong well into its second day. def recommend following independent reporter talia jane who is taking part and providing live updates. (talia was the first reporter to break aaron bushnell’s self immolation in february; she was one of the reporters he contacted personally prior to the protest.)

thank you so much alexa @shivsblunt for mentioning it…..anyone who wants to contribute to their jail support fund can do so @ bcabolitioncollective on v*nmo. also, if anyone is in the area and available to join (via cssw4palestine on ig):

It is pretty crazy to me that Revue Starlight The Movie (2021) is one of the highest ranking movies of the 2020s so far on Letterboxd, by average user rating. There are only a handful of other animated films before it, namely a bunch of AoT movies, the Gintama movie, and Spiderverse 2, and most of the other movies before it are... movies by insanely big musicians like Tswift. Like it's so jarring to look at this

and see fucking. Revue Starlight on there among this pool of movies. This list, obviously, means nothing in the big picture, but it does make me smile a bit. Like, not many Letterboxd users have seen the movie, but those that have have rated it so highly that it's sitting on the spot before Oscar winner Everything Everywhere All At Once. This movie is so undeniably good that literally everyone who is into Revue Starlight (and even those who are not) think it goes so hard that it deserves this spot

what the fuck did I just download

Context: I downloaded what's called simply "Encyclopedia of Religion" by Lindsay Jones because I found some articles online and they seemed well written in the style I like. I was like, okay, it must be one of those thick reference books, like, 500 pages long.

No. Apparently it's a 15-volume masterwork made by what I think are a hundred experts covering everything from Muslim Sufism to the Hindu Vedas to Slavic gods to the beliefs of the peoples of the Chaco to recent Afro-American religious movments to the structure of the papacy to Selkam religion and back. There are even individual articles on animals like bears and cats. It's honestly scary.

God must be in there, somewhere.

Bro just the preface + list of contents + list of contributors is 100 pages. I still haven't reached the index.

There's a Japanese dude who wrote articles about foxes, toads and frogs, hedgehogs, cocks (direct quote..). There's also articles about.., just reading titles: scholasticism, a lot of Muslim terms I'm not familiar with, theriantropism, that weird Japanese cult who did those sarin attacks, ancient canaaite religion, humor and islam, Jenovah's Witnesses, Gender in Celtic religions, an overview of prehistoric religion, and a lot of things I have never heard about. This is all from different collaborators listed on the same page.

This is just the table of contents. The encyclopedia starts in page 152.

This is scary. Did God write this.

If you want a link, you can find it on Anna's Archive by searching Encyclopedia of Religion, apparently by the Macmillan Library Reference.

It's 170mbs. I am not responsible if your PC crashes.

The thing is that every single article, even if it's half a page short (and they're all well written) has annotated bibliography and primary sources on it. You could seriously get lost forever here.

hey rb this and assign prev what pokemon they'd be if they were turned into one mystery dungeon style

reblog to make prev stop having headaches

He loves club life

i cant stand adventuring with necromancers 🤦‍♂️. you know what really gets to me? they never TELL you they're a necromancer. they always use some normal spells at first. like ice spike and shit. and then you turn around to look at your party and you notice there's one extra person there. yeeep. they resurrected the researcher that died before us and left a journal warning us of the incoming dangers at the dungeon. and you know you can't tell them shit. you hurt a wizards' feelings and they fireball you into a pile of dust while you're sleeping and cook a potion with your ashes. 🤦‍♂️

and before anyone says anything i dont have anything against conjurers. just wish more of them had the common fucking sense to summon elemental spirits or whatever.

I have never seen this guy before or heard his name (that I recall), but I'm definitely familiar with his work!

I did recognize his name but I almost didn't recognize him at first because he's a bit older now

Here's some of his more famous photos:

Fun fact, he sued hasbro for $73 million (and won!), because they weren't paying him his royalties.

He's also a former NASA aerospace engineer.

At NASA, and just to name one example, Johnson designed the radioisotope thermoelectric generator for the Galileo probe that explored Jupiter.

man. the blood moon transition and shocking twist in bloodborne where they reveal that it was cosmic horror the whole time is great but it's kind of a bummer that the narrative turns into a meaningless mess immediately afterward. like saying "oh shit! eldritch horror! that's dope! so where does the story go from here and what's the narrative purpose behind the twist beyond being cool?" and miyazaki responding "uhhhhhhhh i'm scared of childbirth. it's unknowable so it doesn't have to have narrative payoff"

very correct take. I think it's kinda saved by the dlc having the much more solid narrative of "the real eldritch horror was colonialism all along". Bloodbornes endgame really DOES kinda fall apart.

This is exactly right and the main reason why I love and hate the old hunters dlc. It's easily the best soulsborne dlc by far and an absolute masterpiece from start to finish but the fact that the entire emotional and narrative core of the game requires you to pay extra for the dlc to access it is infuriating imo. Like every reason bb's narrative is compelling stems from the story told in the old hunters. The fact that the dlc is NECESSARY because the base game's story falls apart without it is a real black mark for bb that I think it doesn't get criticized for even when it should be
