I can’t even get a text back

His name is Bapurao Tajne. This is the worst drought they’ve had in decades but the higher caste villagers said his family weren’t allowed to use the town well because they’re Dalit, a lower caste and deemed “untouchable”. On top of being a day labourer he spent 40 days digging, and without any form of surveying technology or experience he hit water. “I don’t want to name the well owner for I don’t want bad blood in the village. However, I feel that he insulted us because we are poor and Dalits. I came home that day in March and almost cried.” “It is difficult to explain what I felt in those days. I just wanted to provide water for my whole locality so that we Dalits did not have to beg for water from other castes.”

Thank you so much for adding this. I grabbed this off Twitter and didn’t know much about this.

i used to like leopard seals but then i found out they just replaced their incisors w/more canine teeth & also their other teeth are more canine teeth. also their skull is the size of a horse so fuck them honestly

Leopard Seals are incredibly impressive predators. They’re a great example of why you shouldn’t assume seals are cute and cuddly just because they look like pretty fuzzy blobs. 

These guys are the second largest seal and often as long as walrus (although they weigh a lot less). Not only do they have a ton of ridiculously sharp teeth, but their weird multiple-pointed molars actually interlock so they can filter krill out of the water for more nutrition. 

Twitter goes crazy over unlawful arrest of the teen who tried to sell his MacBook

And so many white people were in her mentions saying “well he shouldn’t have a MacBook” as if this is a fucking Mac vs Windows joke

Fuck the police and fuck the white people who think this is a joke. We can literally be killed over ANYTHING

Police need to be held accountable for their actions.

*banging my fists on a table* LET CASHIERS HAVE CHAIRS

Naughty Dog abandoned their tradition. First they make 3 main games, then the 4th is kart racer. Crash 1-3 then Team Racing, Jak 1-3 then Jak X but now it’s Uncharted 1-3 and not 4. Where’s my Uncharted kart racer? Where’s Unkarted?

At this rate we’ll never get The Fast of Us. :(

I’m gonna be bringing this teeny tiny DeadEndia zine to London MCM Comic Con next week! Free with any multi-purchase of DeadEndia! I might sneak these into online orders too!

Lort she a straight up dragon, spitting fire and shit

I had this girl in my class and she was considered to be like really dumb. She’d ask a ton of doubts and questions in class, which everybody would consider to be “stupid"and “silly” and even the teachers would often taunt her but she’d never stop asking. But the thing was that she’d almost always top the class examinations and everyone was like???? They all thought she was cheating and stuff and obviously even the teachers were very biased because she wasn’t so ‘smart’ in class, and she was regularly accused of cheating. But nobody could prove that she was actually cheating but the whole class and teachers totally believed that she did. I’m pretty socially awkward so I never really talked to her, but she was leaving school this year and I was genuinely curious about how she was so good during exams and how she didn’t let everyone’s remarks affect her. She always used to sit and hang out with only one girl, and she told me that that friend of hers was severely socially anxious and she’d lag in studies because she couldn’t bring herself to ask doubts in class or ask for help from others. So they had this system where during lectures her friend would write down any question she had, and she would ask them for her. And I was just so touched??? Idk but it really changed the way I looked at people?? This girl endured taunts and jeers and borderline bullying for being “stupid” when she was actually really smart and could easily have refused to ask such doubts for her friend but she did?? And brushed off everything others would throw at her for her friend?? I was just, idk it just really changed me in some way.

This is also a commentary on ableism and how hurtful it is. One girl was so afraid of being seen as “stupid” that it stopped her from learning. And, judging by how her friend was treated for asking those questions, she was right to be afraid.

tumblr staff didn’t fuck up in a while this wasn’t them so they started fucking up again

By a while you mean less than a week ago right

So I dunno how many people know this but if you go to burgerking and order anything at all off the menu, even just a drink, you get two little surveys on the back of the receipt

Each survey can get you a free whopper burger or a chicken sandwich with the purchase of any drink (even the $1 drink)

Just fill out the survey and get the code and write it on the back.

If you are short on money and really need a substantial meal, you can keep doing this cycle of getting receipts and free sandwiches for as long as you like

Idk I thought this might help people who are hard up for cash. This works in the US.

reblog 2 save a hungry tummy maybe?

PLEASE REBLOG

Jesus Christ

Holy shit boost and please stay safe if you use rideshare stuff like this.

PHEW… I’m back in my blog. To my surprise, I got an email today from some nice people at Nickelodeon putting me in touch with connections they have at Tumblr and voilà—they let me get back in and change the associated email address. 

I know MANY of you are still locked out of your blogs and do not have such a “corporate connection” solution at your disposal. I asked the powers that be at Tumblr to please find some sort of workaround to allow people to regain access. I sincerely hope it ends up working out somehow for everyone affected. 

Thanks to everyone who helped to boost the signal and who followed me over to my replacement blog. I’ll keep that thing as a backup in case any other shenanigans happen. And thanks to the MANY people who have followed this blog over the last 4+ years and who made it a thing worth fretting over losing.

And yes, I am going for that Avatar Wan look.

Good for you!

I hope other people can get this resolved too, it is a real bummer to locked/logged out of something you put a lot of time into

reminder; even if it isn’t your main e-mail, make sure you use a current one for things
