At the annual Houston RenFest weā€™d always get one or two furries that walk around and every time the general reaction from the medieval roleplayers is akin toĀ  ā€œBEASTS? BEASTS THAT WALK LIKE MAN? FOUL!ā€Ā 

Last time I went a furry volunteered for an impromptu conversion/exorcism and a guy dressed as a monk gathered a bunch of people and using a Gatorade bottle performed an entire catholic christening while reading off the instructions on his Ipad. When the furry was fullyĀ ā€œconvertedā€ he removed the head of his costume and everyone in the crowd pretended to freak out and say shit likeĀ ā€œGlORY BE HE IS SAVEDā€Ā ā€œCHRIST HAS BROKEN HIS CURSEā€

Thatā€™s the best crap iā€™ve heard in months

have I mentioned that iā€™m fucking in love with humankind

reblogging SPECIFICALLY for the End Note which is widely applicable

For any trans (or really any queer) kids who are struggling through this right now, I want you to know

This is not your fault,

you are not wrong,

it wouldnā€™t be fixed if you were just somehow a different person

Because this guy is right, love is unconditional and this type of parent only loves you on the condition that you are exactly what they want you to be

Reblogging this because it definitely didn't make me cry.

Ok not to be really insufferable but I think the thing thatā€™s often lost when people talk about the PokĆ©dex is that itā€™s assumed itā€™s genuinely a tool for adults. Like the in game professors describe it as a ā€œhigh tech encyclopaediaā€ and thatā€™s taken at face value.

But in Japanese the word used is ā€œå›³é‘‘ā€ - ā€œzukanā€. This means ā€œpicture encyclopaediaā€. But what the implication of this is is actually mostly stuff like this:

Like the type of thing you read in primary school! Those big illustrated books that give kids introduction to just simple concepts of biology, or zoology. Full of fun facts that may not be 100% accurate but sure are cool! Not necessarily a robust resource for adults.

Iā€™m not saying ā€œzukanā€ is never used to refer to something a bit more high level. A little search around and I did find zukans that seemed targeted at older people, but honestly I noticed some of these had negative reviews like ā€œthereā€™s no furigana in this! This is too hard for my kid!ā€. So that to me suggests the connotation is very much like. Kids encyclopaedia.

So my point is when the PokƩdex says bonkers stuff like:

Itā€™s more akin to childrenā€™s encyclopaedia publishing a ā€œfun factā€ thatā€™s just likeā€¦could be theoretically true but only if you simplify a bunch of stuff.

Anyway my point is

a) the PokƩdex is a resource specifically for grade-school age children

b) Professor Oak is one of those professors that at some point diverted most of his time into childrenā€™s science communication.

Small artists you need to understand that when you see an artist who you think has 'made it' tells you not to worry about the numbers and to not fret about getting more likes than reblogs they are not telling you it because they think you are stupid for caring or because they dont need to network to survive they are very likely telling you that because they have witnessed first hand the way the numbers game tears people to shreds in terms of mental health and motivation

Beginner artist: Itā€™s easy for you to say not to worry about the numbers because you don't have to do it anymore.

Advanced artist, shaking them by the shoulders: DON'T DO THIS, it's a never-ending loop of trying to satisfy the nameless statistical tables that make you think your worth is measured by the number of people you can entertain.

farcille isn't "toxic yuri." nothing remotely toxic about them, they both treat each other with a great deal of care and affection and respect. just because marcille is willing to do forbidden necromancy and arguably cannibalism for her wife doesn't make her toxic that's just what you do for a woman with broad shoulders

You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.

There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.

Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.

PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.

Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)

The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.

So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. šŸ‡µšŸ‡ø

Since the minimum is so low, this is a great place to put the last of a prepaid card, don't just give it back to the card company by tossing it with money still on it! Even a dollar can do good!

you call this place "wall greens" yet its walls... are not green? how very pecuilar...

ah i see now. so "walgreen" was a clan of bandits who conquered various, smaller apothecaries in order to acquire the vast empire they now sit upon. how very cruel, this "america". you are ruled by warlords and do nothing to usurp them?
