Smoky the Bear Sign: Only You Can Reblog Art and Writing So More People see it

im so sorry to do this, but it's the most important thing my father ever taught me and he was so adamant about it. it is NOT smokey the bear but in fact just "Smokey Bear"

I learned there is another forest fire prevention mascot / original art+writing reblog reminder called Joe Beaver.

I think it’s important for y’all to know, In California, some groups are working to create Burnie the Bobcat for promoting good fires, which I think may even be more fitting!

Only you can spread art like wildfires!

This is how Burnie can still win

This got more notes overnight than either piece of fiction did though

Speaking of reblogs / education campaigns / art promotion:

I honestly don't remember if this was originally my phrasing, or if I just saw it in someone's tags and fell in love with it... But I want to get "We are the Scrolletariat!" campaign going (especially on Tumblr), with the aesthetics of 1930's labor organization posters.

I'm not sure of what iconography to use, though.

why small kittens are always either the most pathetic or the most evil creature you've ever seen

the problem with having a decade old tumblr blog is that there are posts on it from a decade ago

i’ve become a completely different person like 5 separate times since making those posts and there are STILL people finding them somehow

hater of socks

what is your problem !!!

Shawn and Gus are drift compatible but under no circumstances should they ever be allowed to pilot a jaeger

I have an emotional need for this to get 100,000 notes

Like, how correct can you be??? This is the most accurate thing I’ve ever seen.

Realistically, a household the size of Wayne Manor needs more than just a butler, and while Bruce might imagine he can keep his proclivities secret from his own domestic staff, Alfred certainly harbours no such illusions. I've gotta wonder what the orientation lecture he's worked out looks like. Like, of course they're going to be extensively vetted before they ever set foot on the premises, but at some point during the onboarding process the subject of the Batcave has gotta come up – I just wanna know how Alfred broaches that.

serious answer: it’s the sex dungeon, and everyone knows it’s the sex dungeon, and alfred is extremely good at getting across the point, in his Very Proper Butler Accent, that domestic staff don’t get to go anywhere near the sex dungeon EVEN WITH an airtight nda contract because someone at some point tried to leak pics to the gossip mags and alfred had to murder them and it was annoying. alfred takes care of the sex dungeon himself. if you find a secret passage on accident you stop and immediately go tell alfred, so he can close the security hole, because if you follow the secret passage yourself and end up in the sex dungeon, he murders you. also if you ever so much as say the words ‘sex dungeon’ he murders you.

funny answer: everyone knows the batcave is underneath the sex dungeon because everyone knows bruce wayne is batman’s sugar daddy.

Oh my god, though, because if 'it's a sex dungeon' is the implied cover story there is a 100 percent certainty that Bruce 'contingency-awareness' Wayne has built a sex dungeon down there

Like, the clock leads to a tunnel that leads to the sex dungeon and in the back of the sex dungeon behind the leather pommel horse and the rack of whips is a secret door leading to the batcave. Please take a moment to imagine with me the first time Bruce takes Clark down to the cave through the house.

ah.

Keep in mind these things were advertised heavily as being able to drive through reasonably deep water as a standard feature.

It does this even in the wading mode if you attempt to do so.

So much water gets pooled into the frame you can hear it sloshing around.

Tesla “vehicles” are about as reliable as the machinations of a cartoon coyote.

I genuinely don't understand how you fuck up the automobile so fucking bad. We've had close to a century of knowing that all of this "innovation" is stuff that doesn't work.

Because they deliberately and specifically avoided all that stuff we learned the hard way because it was "old fashioned thinking." Like steering wheel design. There were a lot of steering wheel designs before we settled on the ubiquitous one we all use, and quite a few of the designers of those earlier ones have biographies that end with "died during field testing."

Musk ignored ALL of that accumulated knowledge, thinking he was very clever, and built a car-shaped object.

I started reading this post feeling like "do not wash in direct sunlight" sounds like it should get filed alongside "do not feed after midnight" and other warnings about the husbandry of mythological monsters, and then it turns out that putting water on it (in direct sunlight) will kill it, not precisely like but still having very much in common with the Wicked Witch of the West.

What a time to be alive.

Do we know yet if a few weeks of rain does the same thing?

He’s so cool

fixed it

which is definitely not an omen

This is where Brexit Britain has gotten us. Can't even have a proper apocalypse now.

When people get a little too gung-ho about-

wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?

ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.

That’s…wild. What was I talking about?

similarly: kung fu (which is to say, 功夫 gōngfu) is a term for like, any pursuit requiring discipline & effort & practice, so like gongfu cha is a kind of tea ceremony, but because of the popularity of martial arts movies in the US, in which characters saying stuff like e.g. 你的功夫不錯 "your [gongfu]'s not bad" meaning like, "you've worked hard [on your martial art, since in this context we are already fighting one another]" and American viewers are like "kung fu means martial art" and now it just does mean that in English. English does this a lot, but it does it constantly to Chinese words, I feel like. I mean probably I just notice it more

Look at this cool new t-shirt I made for fans of Abraham Lincoln!
