#my gf bringing home a copy of the first 2 volumes #i actually had no clue it was popular online until then! #and then all of a sudden i started seeing posts about it

according to ep 4 anthy had told utena she was sick of their giant inflatable octopus and thought it should be thrown away, implying that anthy only kept it to antagonize nanami. funniest aspect of when shes leaving to move in with touga and nanami is that you can see its tentacle sticking out of the giant suitcase shes using to accommodate it – every other time in the show she uses a smaller suitcase, & notably when she moves back in with utena like a day later. she definitely ‘accidentally left it’ at the kiryuu residence

#i love her constant antics so much

Gaza's municipality is trying to raise money to fix and restore Gaza's water system. Please support them by boosting and/or donating

i finished reading your story and i must say that, while it's alright, there's so many plot holes because the characters made irrational decisions and didn't think logically 100% of the time. consider fixing this next time please

Living in an age where everyone has phones on them all the time and first hand accounts of the IDF rounding hundreds of people up in hospitals & executing them come out from survivors and witnesses on the day it happens and are immediately publicly accessible to nobody assholes like me, you might think that even in a racist barbarian shithole like the United States, the naked, obvious, & terrible truth of what has occurred would be enough to convince some of the American ruling class to jump ship from supporting the funding of a genocide being read into the digital archives in real time but apparently no. Even when weeks after the fact the mass graves of doctors, patients, men, women, & children executed with their hands ties behind their backs are finally exhumed, Capitalists as a class and as individuals are happy to straight up ignore or even support it. "More please!" Congress begs as they overwhelmingly vote in favor of dozens of additional billions in weapons & funds for Israel.

Sudan still desperately needs aid--it needs a lot of things, but it is approaching a dangerous point with famine and mass death due to hunger imminent.

These are the kinds of headlines we're getting now:

Here's an ongoing fundraiser:

I linked it before, to help with Ramadan, but it's an ongoing initiative, the need has not stopped.

I picked this gofundme because it's been boosted by people I trust and you can see pictures online of the food they've provided, e.g.:

But I also picked this because you can see the amount of donations. It's 2pm ET on Saturday, April 20th right now? For the next week, whatever's donated, I'll match for a total up to $2,000 (we'll say 2,750 CAD, since the gofundme is in Canadian dollars).

You don't have to send me a receipt, I just ask that you donate and boost.

knitting tutorial made by a twenty-something knitting influencer: 18 min long, 12 of those minutes being the intro and a sponsor plug, they show the first few steps of the tutorial at the slowest speed known to man, they show the most important steps at a neck-break speed, they stop every five seconds to talk about what they just did, 40,000 comments filled with questions ranging from insightful to “how do i knit”, filmed with a camera that costs more than a car, the tutorial is incorrect.

knitting tutorial made by a seventy-something grandmother: two min long, filmed 17 years ago, shows you what you want with the skilled patient hands of a beloved deity, made with the world’s shittiest camera, the best video on the fucking internet, four comments and 30 views, you lose the video and never find it again.

sure is something when you hear people wax poetic about the importance of not sanitizing writing because fiction should be used to explore the multifaceted dimensions of human nature and challenge our habitual relationship to empathy by grappling with complex ethical issues, and then you look at their work and the complex ethical issue is "what if some guy was really violent but also really hot"

If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

#chocolate granola with added nuts #i also heat up the milk

quietly losing it over how many people think that if something is predominantly enjoyed by women it should be exempt from all critique
