Omg let me tell yall about how one act, even if done out of self perservation, can ripple out in the most positive ways.

My friend during covid had her and her family go to a butcher and directly tell them they'd put 400 down every month collectively and they'd just order roughly the same thing every month.

So she's been doing this for like 3 years, still 400ish for like a stupid amount of meat.

But the butcher could do this bc they could regularly supply him and having a garenteed income was such a big deal. Particularly bc that means he could commit that much money to the farmers he orders from, which means those farmers also get that stable income too. So this one act helped all the way up the chain.

It helped her and her family, and friends who they gifted with meals when ppl are sick.

And that butcher offered lower prices to others and could have a steady supply of good quality meat. Because-

The farmer also got a steady income. Free from the worry of getting their next bill covered. They got better feed and could care for their animals better. This improved the lives of the pigs/candle as well as the farmer getting to live a happier healthier life.

This is still happening, this has been happening for years for all of them.

It's baffling that such a small act of community spreads so much stability and joy, ranging from the farmer relaxing to a BBQ at a block party. All bc my friend was sick of grocery store meat prices on chicken.

This is still happening,

this has been happening for

years for all of them.

Tom Holland meeting fans during the press tour for SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME (2019)

He got his banana back 😭

did i tell u guys i got into an argument on twitter bc i said foxes are dogs and someone tried to bring up their actual fuckin. classification or whatever and i just said “foxes are dogs cause they are fluffye” and they kept arguing with me. the entire time i was like “you will not survive the immigration to tumblr you are lucky we are not there right now”

This is especially funny because they aren’t even right. Foxes *ARE* dogs.

No they aren’t.

yes they are. because they are fluffye.

OK yes they are.

Dog

Dog

Different family, but same order as @pictures-of-dogs

No, they are the same family. They are the same kingdom, phylum, order and family. They separate at the genus.

They’re a dog.

yeah they’re fluffye

theyre literally not dogs theyre not even fluffy. can we get science tumblr over hear or what!?

checkmate athiests

fluffye

okay but they literally are dogs, for those who are confused

If foxes are dogs, then so are wolves, coyotes, dingoes, jackals, and several other extant and extinct species.

Behold! A dog.

of course it’s a dog you buffoon. it’s fluffye.

Why on earth would someone think “BUT IF THEY’RE DOGS SO AR -”

Like yes of course wolves are dogs, where have you been. Jackals are excellent doggies! So are coyotes. Why is this confusing.

I love that this is literally two completely different arguments running simultaneously.

That guy up there who said they’re not even fluffy was thinking of sharks

sharks are also dogs. ravenous water dogs, but still dogs

Sharks can NOT be dogs they are SMOOTH

BEHOLD, a SHARK

having thoughts about gotham my beloved wretched city again. i think robin shrines would be a thing

gotham citizens creating small shrines to robins, whether to specific ones or to the concept of robin as a whole. each robin would have their own symbolism, like a certain flower or object that people have come to associate with certain robins. sometimes these will overlap when the mantle is passed on, and the representative iconography will also be passed on until the new robin builds their own unique robin identity

it becomes gotham culture to build these shrines in unlikely places - places that a bird would perch. there are shrines next to storefronts and in defunct fuse boxes, and shrines in the archways and rooftops and in a gargoyle's mouth. mostly somewhere the gotham rain won't thoroughly seep through, though robin shrines are more phenomenons than they are fixed locations. some last for years, part of the architecture and gotham commute; others are ephemeral, popping up after the crisis-of-the-week and gone before the next.

the shrines are not religious, thought undoubtedly batman and his brood have their cult followings. rather, the shrines act as touchpoints - a place gotham citizens can leave their thanks, their woes, their memories, and maybe, just maybe, robin will drop by to hear or see what they left behind. everyone knows robin flits around busily - they'd all hope the kid went to school as well as kicking ass at night, so it's not like robin has all the time in the world. that's okay. that's what these little shrines are for. forget-me-nots, IOU's, etcetera

the contents of these shrines are an amalgam of sentiment and practicality. the more permanent ones are practically street-side first-aid kits, just in case the kid needs it. flowers to brighten up the concrete and steel landscape, reminiscent of how robin's colors seem to lighten up the oppressive gotham smog. fairylights or built-in bulbs to light it up at night. robin bobbleheads and plushies, polaroids and scrawled notes, beautiful graffiti that make the shrine an art piece, crude graffiti that are fair game bc it probably makes robin laugh or squint or grumble. gotham citizens like that about robin - the apparent and unabashed humanity of gotham personified in a way that the batman can't always be. hope is a kid, compassion is a kid, tenacity is a kid - and if a kid can be all that, well shit, you kinda have to try be all that too.

gotham loves their robins. gotham needs the batman, and batman needs a robin, and therefore gotham needs a robin. sure, public opinion sways here and there on vigilante matters, but the unspoken law is that no-one ever desecrates a robin shrine. a robin shrine is for every time a robin pulled someone out of a fire, for every time a robin sat on the curb with you until you were alright again, for every time you looked up and saw a flash of red-green-yellow and remembered with no small relief that in this crazy city someone was watching over you.

AU where after Jason died, Tim decided to become one of Batman's villains to keep him in line.

His logic is; Batman, no matter how far gone, would never want to see a child resort to crime and villainy. He's right.

A little too right.

Batman is now obsessed with the child villain, determined to rescue the kid from himself. Tim, however, is committing to the bit.

This is a map of the range of all giraffe species. By my count that puts them in just 16 countries out of the 54 in Africa (of which 5 are island countries with no territory on the continental mainland). That's 30%, quite a long way shy of all, and as you can see many of those countries that do have giraffes only have a tiny portion of their territory within giraffes' habitats

Wow, I knew they weren't in "every African country", but I didn't realize just how restricted their range was

Good teachers don't mind saying "I don't know" or that they need to look it up and will get back to you.

Not only that but giraffes in different areas have different patterns and it's so cool

Very Silly Concept: a show called "Accessibility Nightmares" but it's structured exactly like Kitchen Nightmares. An accessibility specialist goes to different establishments and helps them make their businesses more accessible.

The accessibility specialist asks why the door at the top of the small set of stairs has a wheelchair symbol on it. The owner replies that's the accessible bathroom. The camera zooms in on the specialist as they process this information.

A customer with a service dog comes in to a restaurant. The hostess tells them they don't allow dogs. The accessibly specialist looks over at the hostess like

And there are web accessibility episodes too. The accessibility specialist stares at the white text on the light pink background of the home page like

The specialist asks why not a single product picture has alt text, and the business owner says "Well I mean, it's makeup, why would a blind person be shopping for makeup?" The specialist just

The specialist asks the web designer how a screen reader user is supposed to complete the captcha portion of the password reset process when there is no audio alternative. The designer admits they don't know.

When you left this tag three days ago, I thought "that's so sweet, but no. No way this concept is even close to that popular."

This is it. This is my job. This is what I do for a living. I make those faces and then I tell my uncaring monitor exactly what is wrong with this website and what the site owner needs to do to fix it with all the fucks I can’t put in official work documents sprinkled liberally throughout.

this is so funny

the royal mail detectives are a weird bunch, and like if it was addressed right it would get right but i love the idea they went "well it's from Trier so send it to the twinned town first"

Terry Pratchett would have loved this

this is by far my favorite safety/warning sign btw. they really went off with this one

No cuz I fucking love this sign. It’s not an actual barrier so it’s not like some sort of challenge it simply says “fuck around and you will find out”

Ohohoho I LOVE “fuck around and find out” signs, especially the really dramatic and ominous (but true) ones

(Context for the last one: it’s a WWII era sign posted around the soldiers’ washroom mirror, warning them to never discuss military plans in places where civilians could hear them and report back to the enemy, e.g. in restaurants and pubs in the country. “Loose lips sink ships”.)

I also love these two, which I would place in the category of “You already fucked around, now you’re about to find out.”

Aerated water is fucking scary. It's water that has a fuckton of gas in it, which reduces the buoyancy to the point where you will immediately start to sink if you fall in.
