Kaveh and Haitham but make them kiddos lol

(idea started with this drawing that i will eventually finish hopefully)

Kaveh is yelling at the other kids to shut the fuck up cause they’re hurting Haitham’s ears.

You drop a small piece of food on the floor, and decide to kick it under the oven/couch/whatever because you can’t be bothered to pick it up. As you’re walking away, you hear a very quiet “Thank you!” from under it.

“No problem,” I say, the words passing out of my mouth on autopilot, before my brain engages and I freeze.

I turn, and look at the fridge. It seems to be the same fridge that was here when I moved in. 

I mean, I’m also kind of embarrassed. I never do that, I know that’s how you get roaches, but my back hurts so bad that getting up and down is next to impossible, much less bending over. “Um, you holding up okay down there?” I ask.

There was silence. 

“I know that we’re probably the only apartment in the building that doesn’t have a bug problem. That’s, well, that’s you, right?”

Again, silence. But I know I heard it.

“Listen, I can’t really bend over right now, but if you’re down there and hungry, like, there’s half a rotisserie chicken in there that’s about to go bad. I was going to throw it away, but if you could use it-”

“Yesssss. Please.” 

Well. Whatever it is, it’s well-mannered, anyway.

my name Hellen, i walk the sand, i lift the shark stuk on the land. before the teeth can find their mark, i thro the fish, i yote the shark.

im fuckin weeping

Yo my dudes, dudettes and nonbinary pals. So sebastian has landed in Atlanta and there's a video of him walking out to bagged claim and there are fans standing around waiting for him. One of the girls rushed up to him and he told her no, no autographs but the girls pushed and he in an angry tired tone said "no. dead man walking right now, dead man walking right now." as he was walking away. Eventually she backed off but not before whining.

I get that your excited to get a chance to meet a celebrity you look up to. I understand if you want to try to take that opportunity to catch a glimpse. But the fact that you KNEW he was coming in from Houston where he's spent the past two days on his feet, interacting with fans and probably running on zero sleep and got in his space is incredibly selfish. The man's exhausted like he said. And he doesn't need people hounding him for autographs when he gets off a flight he no doubt went straight to from the con. He's tired. He probably just wants to get to the hotel to crash before he has to work for hours on end. Again.

I might get some flack for this but I don't care. I'm happy he snapped at the fans and told them no. I'm glad he put boundaries. And when he says no RESPECT THAT. Don't keep asking. Leave him be.

He doesn't owe you anything. He's an adult who can and did handle himself but just.... Don't. It shouldn't need to be said yet here we are.

Wasserspeier am Freiburger Münster

WINTER IS A BAD TIME.

What it feels like to chew 5 Gum

IT’S MY FAVORITE GARGOYLE BACK AGAIN FOR WINTERTIME.

I want to know the exact conversation that lead to the creation of this abomination

Ye olde German architect: “ok, it’s time to put in the rainspouts and last night I was out with the lads and Hans had too much and the point is I had the FUNNIEST idea…” *Holds up drawing*

Ye olde German Architect Supervisor: * snorts beer out of his nose.* “YES. BUILD IT IMMEDIATELY.”

That’s gussy babe

Sooooo I just came back from studying in Freiburg and went on a tour of the Münster with a historian who knew all of the insider secrets and the story is even better than you think. 

It took more than 300 years to build the Freiburger Münster (1200s-1500s), so they went through a lot of architects and people who paid those architects. Some of the patrons were dicks and one of those dicks lived in a house right next to the Münster. The asshat kept demanding they work faster and changed his mind every five hours about what he wanted and THEN he refused to pay the architects because he wasn’t happy with what they’d done. 

That really pissed the builders off so in retaliation, the head architect built the butt gargoyle facing his house so that every morning for the rest of his life, when the dick looked out his window at the Münster, he’d have to look at a gargoyle butt.

So, the defecating gargoyle is a big fat “fuck you” to someone’s dick of a boss that has survived 500 years and two world wars 

*standing ovation*

my friend posted this picture of our uni’s resident t-rex fossil. i have yet to stop laughing.

My god this is a 1,000% accurate representation of @staff

On that note-

Capitalism is disgusting and ruins everything.

cool! unsurprising!

Please read this whole article. If you’re still clinging to the vague hope that it’ll all settle down and it’s gonna be business as usual, it isn’t. It can’t.

“She also points out that many of Tumblr users are women, much or most of the explicit content on Tumblr “was made by, for, and about women,” and that Tumblr’s “all porn” reputation stems from the fact that “women were thrilled to finally find porn that fit their interests, and wanted to foster that community as much as possible.” The decision to squash all that, she says, is gendered, and a major loss.“

Tumblr’s decision is sexist, anti-LGBTQA, and driven by the need to make money out of the fandom. I don’t know yet what my move is gonna be but I don’t feel confortable contributing to Verizon’s gain of money in those circumstances.

What is almost certainly happening with Tumblr’s image classifier is that they’ve deployed the bot entirely untrained, and are relying on user complaints to train it what NSFW content on tumblr looks like.

Making people participate in their own censorship in this way and punishing them with the threat of being silenced even if in compliance with the rules should they not participate, is, IMHO, abuse of their userbase.

Source: I’ve worked for three different top-five social networks, and at all of them this type of work would have been done by making the userbase do it as much as possible.

Please signal boost. I don’t care if you reblog or repost, just get the word out so that people know what they’re doing as they interect with this thing.

My twitter is @soren_tycho (nsfw, sfw account coming soon) and my github username is sorentycho.

Just chiming in as a machine learning expert, this is almost certainly the case (and knowing tumblr, they weren’t even smart enough to throw in pre-trained weights)

GOD THIS MAKES ME ANGRY.  Is this just a big game of “Click all the squares with <strike>nipples</strike> cars in them?  Is that it? You’re making us work for you on the way out you bastards? *normally sanguine Ces turns into giant rage machine*  The (W#)*% *(* with this @$&!!!!

Y'all need to stop saying shit like “songs with the same bpm”

Beats per minute is a unit. The word you’re looking for is tempo.

If two songs have the same tempo, their bpm are equivalent.

You wouldn’t say two people of the same height have “the same inches.” You would say height. So stop saying two songs have “the same bpm” when you can just say tempo

I’m an assistant band director don’t argue with me

I have a music degree and taught for over a decade. You can say BPM or tempo it’s basically all the same. Don’t let the classical music snobs get you down

Oh no, I made a post voicing a pet peeve of mine and suddenly I’m a “classical music snob” even though I’ve been playing baroque flute for over a decade professionally…

Yeah I mean… Well there it is

Hello 911, I’d like to report a murder

guys listen

mermaids would have to be dark-skinned and chubby to survive in the ocean 

water isnt a great means of protecting oneself from the sun theyd have to be very dark if they were shallow mermaids and they didnt want to be constantly sunburnt and they may be paler if they lived deeper in the water but theyd have to be buff and/or chubby as hell to resist the water pressure and cold of the deep sea

what im saying is pale-ass white skinny mermaids are just unrealistic

I love this tea

Fat isn’t a defense against water pressure, it’s an insulator. So the colder the water, the fatter the mermaid.

Scandinavian merfolk would be tubby, evolving more for persistence hunting in the freezing coastal waters, possibly relying more on siren-song to lull prey into effective range. The less moving the better! Gotta keep the chub on to survive the winter.

Whereas Mediterranean/Polynesian merfolk would spend their time among the fertile reefs in warmer waters, competing with other predators. They would be built for speed and agility, buff like sprinters. Darker skin would be harder to spot under the surf, and more resistant to the glaring sun.

Also: it’s not hair, it’s scillia that they use to filter plankton out of the water, and it stings like a jellyfish if you touch it.

I would imagine that merfolk come in many different colors, maybe they even have the ability to shift their skin tone to assist in hunting? I guess that depends on how intelligent your mermaids are.

Tldr; cold water mermaids would probably be chubby, warm water mermaids would look like Serna Williams.

Another thing to take into account is Deep-Sea-Gigantism. It’s not fully understood why many animal species such as the colossal squid and whales typically grow to unimaginable sizes in high-water-pressure areas, but it’s assumed that it develops as some sort of defense mechanism. This would imply that deep-sea merfolk would be a sort of Leviathan-class eldritch horror. 

Hell yeah hell yeah

I Now Want To Write A Book For The Sole Purpose Of Having Lilit Encounter A Deep Sea Eldritch Gigantic Mermaid @aniphine HELP

DO IT. Once I finish TAIHB, I’ll join you with a nuclear apocalypse mermaid story.

u can tell who the ancients of tumblr are bc they’re the ones not posting anything abt where to find them if this site collapses…we know this site isnt going anywhere….the apocalypse couldnt stop this garbage…..it has the cybernetic code of a cockroach

those of us who’ve been on tumblr 5+ years: 

lmao i ain’t leaving ‘cause i think the site’s going down, i’m leaving ‘cause the site’s bullshit for keeping important work on. i’m’a shitpost ‘till the universe collapses in on itself but i’m done keeping shit I care about here.

This. I was pretty much done here anyway but it’s the principle of their utter laziness and willingness to throw so much of their userbase under the wheels rather than implementing more effective adult controls and actually removing pornbots and those posting illegal (rather than”immoral”) material. That and the gendered nipple hatred. Don’t even get me started on that.

we’re going to have to call smut ‘lemons’ again, aren’t we? 

LEMONS!? WHEN THE FUCK WAS THIS?!

oh you sweet summer child 

Don’t forget the limes too...! (God I’m feeling so old suddenly...)
