im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary

palestinians deserve the right to be able to travel freely in our homeland. to even visit our homeland. for us to have citizenship and rights to our own country. to grow our plants. practice our religions. live without fear that our children can be kidnapped by israeli forces on their violent whims. to not have our life savings poured into building a home for our families that are torn down without real warning by israeli bulldozers. to no longer be refugees. like this is real life. this is real.

we don’t want to be reduced to a never ending slogan. we want to put down our need for resistance. to rest & to live.

The landlord fears the urban oyster mushroom farmer

I have seen this on every social media site and folks- if your home is damp enough to get full fruity flushes of oyster mushrooms (from stray spores from a grow bag batch), they are the LEAST of your worries. You know what doesn’t produce highly visible fruiting bodies? Most molds. And wood rot. Go ahead and grow them indoors, because they’re a canary in the coal mine if they start fruiting anywhere.

^ the above reblog right here!!! People in the notes saying "don't do this!!!" Are missing the part where people are not deliberately growing Oyster Mushrooms all over their apartment, but that the stray spores from Mushroom Growing Kits are revealing systemic dampness problems that Landlords cannot dismiss and forces them to take action.

REMINDER TO NOT TALK TO THE GUARDIAN ABOUT DIY HRT IF ASKED ❗️❗️❗️

Susanna Rustin is a huge TERF too, and a quick search of her name on The Guardian brings up repeated proof.

the Columbia University arrests are worse than they seem. They're arresting protesting students for trespassing. It goes without saying students cannot meaningfully "trespass" in the common areas of a university they attend. So Columbia University has suspended all student protestors from their institution, in the process revoking their access to housing, their belonging, and most crucially damaging their academic futures. We are witnessing full scale silencing and removal of anyone of conscience from the next generation of academia.

beyond that the columbia common is literally an open space during the day; the gates are open and it's possible to pass through it like you'd pass through a regular block. even after my student ID expired i was still able to walk through the commons bc ID is not requested until you enter an actual building. it's quite common to see parents, toddlers, and such who are clearly not enrolled just hanging out. so not only were the students not trespassing at a SCHOOL THEY PAY FOR, there was also not a precedent for non-students to be disallowed from the grass and walkways.

I'm a type 1 diabetic. I require insulin to live, multiple times a day.

When I was in middle school, many years ago, we didn't have insulin pumps and had to use syringes and vials like everyone else.

The school refused to let me carry it with me, meaning I had to go to the nurses office several times a day to inject. It's not just before lunch but could be any number of times depending on the current blood sugar levels.

The district then cut nurse staff to just spending half a day at two schools, and the nurse left before I had lunch.

I asked the office staff to unlock the office so I could take my insulin and eat lunch. They refused.

By middle school, I'd been dealing with t1 for about 5 years, and didn't take shit on the topic. I went to the school lobby, picked up the payphone (I just dated myself) and called 911, telling them, "Hi, I'm at (school), am type 1 diabetic and the office won't unlock a door and let me take insulin."

They sent a fire truck, and a bunch of firemen met me outside and walked me to the office and asked, while ignoring the staff, which room was the nurses office. I pointed to the door and he was like, "Okay boys, chop it down, this kid need his insulin!"

Suddenly, the office secretary could unlock the door and I didn't need to put it in the nurses office everyday anymore.

[Consider this one “loosely inspired” by Hackmaster.

In the Hacklopedia, there is a shapeshifting witch cat with thief powers. Unfortunately, it’s super gross and sexist. The design looks like erotic fanart of the one Batman TAS episode where Catwoman turns into an actual cat woman. They’re female-only, and all of the flavor text is about sexual jealousy. And it’s called the “mynx”. Yuck.

So my version is still a shapeshifting witch cat with thief powers, but (hopefully) less skeevy and misogynistic.]

Malkin CR 3 CN Magical Beast This creature resembles a housecat the size of a man. Its eyes have a mischievous glint, and its paws bear an eerie resemblance to human hands.

Sometimes referred to as “witch cats”, the creatures known as malkins were created by a master witch ages ago to be the perfect familiar. They are strong enough to handle themselves in combat, smart enough to be a decent conversation partner, and tricky enough to help a caster out of a pinch involving locks, larceny or other skills most arcane casters do not excel at.  A malkin has an inherent love for all arcane spellcasters, acting as guardians of novices, servants of archmages or friends to any other casters who cross their paths.

When not in service to an arcane spellcaster, malkins live on the outskirts of society. Like the domestic cats they descend from, they are carnivores that feed primarily on small game. Malkins have a fondness for creature comforts, and may sneak into town to steal what they cannot get lawfully. In humanoid form, a malkin resembles a particularly fur-covered catfolk, although catfolk usually dislike malkins—their criminal antics and disdainful attitude towards clothing tend to give catfolk a bad reputation.  

Malkins can be of any alignment, although they tend towards chaotic alignments. They advance by class level, with rogue and witch being the most common classes among them. Malkins know the struggles a familiar can suffer under a neglectful or cruel master—malkin spellcasters frequently dote on and pamper their familiars.

Found this reddit post. This kinda makes me feel better. And it’s something I think about sometimes because I always feel like regardless of how hard I work on something I don’t get anywhere.

Nice summary. If you’re curious, the anon here is referring to studies over the last decade that have pointed to major impacts on pattern separation with depression, and how depression can have major impacts on nonsynaptic plasticity. 

Psychology is amazing folks and more of it needs to be common knowledge

Good for my own information…

This really explains 1) some of the gaps in my childhood and 2) my steadily worsening ability to remember shit and actually take in new experiences as anything other than an inconvenience keeping me from sitting at home sleeping or staring at the tv for hours not taking anything in

I'm not feeling particularly inspired lately, so thanks to the peoples who sparkled up this idea in the tags of one of my previous work.

i just found out tumblr was storing over three GIGABYTES of cookies on my device without me knowing and that's why it's been running so fucking slow recently... incredible. anyways everyone go clear your fucking cookies. don't let this website run a goddamn video game's worth of disc space in the background for no good reason.

on firefox: settings → search "cookies" → scroll down → "manage cookies" → tumblr should be at the very top because of how much space it's taking → select it → clear cookies → save changes. done
