cquackity reminds me a little bit of keith in the boogie man but not keith as a person very specifically like. keith perceiving the boogie man as a jokester and a sort of fucked up reflection of himself when he was actually cold and calculating to the others, and seeing all the graffiti and hearing the phones ringing all the time and such. risking his life to save someone and then making a joke of it and laughing it off instead of acknowledging what he’d just done. and that one bad ending- the villain takes and takes and takes and in the end he wins, and when he takes the mask off youre staring at your own face, you are your own worst enemy, youre ruining your own life. not ENTIRELY. not that much. but like al ittle bit on accident because my brain keeps making leaps to connect the dsmp and the strange men series

doing research for my final unit in english class and i have 3 sources cited already :D !
Tumblr media
#EXPLAINATION IN THE TAGS#LONG RAMBLE#i havent written my essay yet and my debate is tomorrow but i have been doing my notes and research today and the information#that i have on there so far is from these reliable sources#but the bottom two are cited there because i have 2 quotes from separate friends that im going to include and like. ik that you always#give the source of a quote in the actual writing BUT i figure since they arent just being quoted--the quotes are being used as a#reliable source of information--i ought to cite the quotes as informational sources as well! so onto the source doc they go#i have yet to put my mla sources in alphabetical order but i will do that once i have other (more legit) sources in here as well#(tbf polygon should count as a reliable source in this case bc theyre a well established source of video game journalism!)#the green one is a friend in class saying ''shadow the hedgehog listens to limp bizkit but in the trans way not in the incel way''#and the pink one is a friend messaging me ''shadow and sonic are also autism and adhd boyfriends'' in conversation#i did ask both of these people if i could quote them in my thing / cite them as a source and they both consented to it#there is an official MLA citation for messages sent digitally but the conversation one i just based off of how youre supposed to#format personal interviews bc like. close enough#yes i put genuine research into just being able to cite my friends as reliable sources of information for this class#i hate this class for various brain reasons and like i dont hate the teacher but im still very much making this final unit a sort of#''im not trapped in here with you. youre trapped in here with me'' situation because my whole thing is going to be so much bullshit#but like. bullshit that is genuinely well researched for the most part

Agnes what did I miss? Why is everyone convinced harry is going to perform at Glasto, he’s not on the guest list isn’t he? I want to join the clowning please bring me up to speed
he’s been rumoured to do so for quite some time (although a large part of it was just people manifesting) and today there was like an alleged ‘secret set’ leak suggesting he’s going to be doing a surprise performance with Billie, it’s still more of a likely to truly happen rumour at this point

Hey if you experience/ have experienced psychosis and would be open to sharing, I'd really like to know from the perspective of the actual people experiencing it what those around you should or shouldn't do to help or at least avoid causing further harm? Like how do you want people to talk to you, act around you, etc. during an episode? I want to support my friend as best I can, but they're not exactly in a mental state where they can coherently communicate what they need from us in this sense and I really don't want to unnecessarily add to the distress they're dealing with rn if I can help it

What’s the difference?
I’ve been thinking about this for 2 weeks, now. And it’s actually something that, I guess, most people and/or Jikookers (who this post is for, at the end of the day) already know. Nothing new, nothing different. Just my thoughts and reflections on it, since it’s a curious phenomenon which I’m sure some of you can even know better and more about. So a good and enriching convo could come out.
The actual trigger, if I’m being honest, were Jungkook’s dating rumors, back in September. For context: on the Chinese platform “Weibo”, an user shared videos of a man back hugging a woman in his apartment, in which many elements seemed to match with Jungkook’s, starting from the dog seen in the clips, and some others didn’t, such as the walls and windows. The case has been closed by many as soon as it came out; others joined when it became quite clear how the set up stalking and sharing were actually meant to hurt Jungkook and ruin his upcoming promotions, along with rumors of him harassing female staff, acting inappropriate and “explicit” in clubs with random women (with fake and edited, yet slanderers, pictures) and cheating (or even getting them pregnant) on different girlfriends.
All at the same time.
Others still trust the source/s and believe it’s reliable content, even after Jungkook’s own denying. Again, nothing new.
Back to what I was saying, I’m not talking about the rumors themselves cause cmon, I didn’t spend my time on it at the time, let alone now. Not worth it at all. But it did trigger something, more than the others (Winter, Han SoHee, Yubi, Nicole, Qatar blonde), and that’s because, as usual, people were foaming at the mouth and willing to trust not trustworthy pages, which post blurred, shaming, illegal contents, just so they could feed their satisfying idea of Jungkook dating or being attracted by women. As a (queer) human, it brings me down.
Anyways, the old and ancient realization about how easy it is for some people to believe such things just because they’re pleasing, came back to the surface. And together with it, Jikook. My mind went straight to them.
Because it takes nothing, for people, to believe the rationally unbelievable, forcing pieces of different puzzles to stay together; but those same people will always make sure to cover their eyes and turn their heads the other way, when Jikook perfectly fit.
Except for the extreme defamations, such as harassment or public indecency, most of the things people base their opinions on, about Jungkook’s rumors (and also Jimin, I’d say, sometimes), have actually been exclusive and consistent between Jikook.
Not only the back hugs, but also the spending off-work time together, the “friends sharing”, the clothes sharing and matching, or the smiles and looks. The small, work related and professional interactions between HanSohee and Jungkook, on set, are actually intentional and intimate between Jikook; the cute and polite conversations Nicole and Jungkook had are actually flirty and soft between Jikook; the fake not reliable videos that have been shared showing a playful back hug, are the actual and absolute nothing compared to what we saw and witnessed to between Jikook.
On camera, and off camera. Things we were not supposed to see, as well. Unfortunately leaked, yet true, contents. And that’s where I’m stopping now, because we’re not taking that reckless road.
After noticing, for the 100th time or more, how uncomfortable Jikook’s truthfulness makes people feel, turning them all in blind, limited animals (is it actually a bad thing? Feels safer, at this point), I kinda let the thoughts flow and accepted the way things go.
Until, as I said at the beginning, two weeks ago. When Jungkook commented Seventeen’s Seungkwan’s live using Mingyu’s weverse account, since they were spending some late night time together.
I’ll never drag Mingyu into this, just like I didn’t back then after his short live at Jungkook’s place, because their friendship is pure and immaculate. Something Jungkook (I mention him because it’s him that I actively follow) seems to care about a lot. Someone who makes him smile and have fun, who he shares challenges and time with, and who he definitely trusts. Jungkook feels comfortable with him, and Mingyu actually is an unproblematic idol. So there’s no way, in the entire world, that we’re doing or discussing something that could hurt or disrespect Mingyu. An hardworking and talented artist just like his mate.
I need to mention him because, again, of context.
After Jungkook’s comments, which actually made clear that him and Mingyu were physically together, social medias reacted and I noticed something maybe almost worse than the whole discussion above.
I never base my opinion on tweets or tik toks, except for times when (just like this one) said tweets and tik toks go extremely viral, are viewed by millions of people, liked and shared by thousands and thousands. In that case, they’re a clear feedback. Just like the Rosé rumor, a full blown lie, based on a fake picture, that 12+ millions of people believed, viewed and liked.
That’s how internet works. Things flow, people see, double tap and scroll, I guess.
I’m not posting the tweets because I have nothing against OPs. They probably had no bad intentions, didn’t even think about what I’m talking about; their sarcasm (up to a certain point) was meant to cause no harm or hate. This whole post is full of thoughts and impressions, no accusations.
I read things like “he said he doesn’t have a girlfriend, not a boyfriend”: 40K people liked. Almost 2M viewed.
“Are they…are Jungkook and Mingyu…?”. Another hit tweet. And the comments, just as much liked, being like “they must be”.
Someone said “the matching outfits and now this. It only means one thing in Korea”; “they want the rumors, at this point”; “Mingyu is the only person on Jungkook’s tik tok and now they share profiles”.
And so on, that I didn’t read or catch.
This made me think, a lot, repetitively. Not because of Mingyu, not because of people posting these jokes (?). It’s not that.
It’s the fact that, even when Jikookers actually have something to say, something that it’s objectively, at least, worth of being heard, are always (or almost) shut down. What I read the most are the friendship and disrespectful behaviour argumentations. “They’re brothers, they grew up together. It’s disrespectful to assume their sexuality”. Always when it comes to a queer, sexuality.
“Their friendship is so cute” under a video of Jungkook frozen and enchanted, in the dark, looking at Jimin’s videos on his big ass tv.
“They share clothes, buy them together. They like the same things. You can’t say someone is dating just by that”. Still, the Korean culture gives such an enormous importance to these details and habits.
“They probably sent those doodles to each other, stop assuming things they didn’t say”. Only for Jungkook to prove they were actually together, at the same time, in the same place.
“Jimin posted a picture of their backs, but what if Jungkook didn’t want him to?”. Only for Jungkook to post a picture of his back exactly one month before Jimin’s birthday.
“You look like the cult. Stop saying Jikook care about numbers. That’s creepy”. Only for Jungkook to send Jimin a text for his birthday at 10:13.
Feels like I’m reinventing the wheel. But it’s curious, saddening to an extent. And I could bring up so many other examples. I just don’t want to.
The fault and blame is not on the ones who can freely speak and make jokes about Jungkook being involved with Mingyu (I bet those same people have been shut off by someone too), but it’s on those who always like those jokes, except when they come to the Busan brothers.
It’s on those people who belittle obvious, romantic and loud gestures, making people who share and appreciate them feel vulnerable and wrong.
That’s why I like preserving my space and feeling like it’s safe enough to share different opinions and/or unpopular ones; because it’s sad.
It’s sad to think about the amount of good and honest people who have been shut off repeatedly, and the amount of dumb ones who are let talking, and talking, and talking.
As long as what they say doesn’t hurt anyone’s safe-imagery.
Needed to take this off my chest. Makes me feel kinda childish, but also like this repressed frustration is actually legit.
But really. Why Jikook’s worse than the fake girlfriends they’re rumored with? What makes Jikook wrong, but them right?
What’s the difference?
I guess we all already know the answer, sadly.

hi! i just want to clarify first of all that im pro palestine, but a lot of people in my life aren't. ive been looking for ways to convince them but tbh im kind of lost. ive tried showing reports from websites like al jazeera but that's been dismissed out of hand because they're a middle east jounral and thus must be biased (pointing out that stuff like cnn then must be biased too because they're american hasn't worked lol). so, do you know of more "unbiased" resources/journals/etc, or anything that can argue for palestine? sorry if this is badly worded its pretty late. appreciate everything you've done btw 🇵🇸
No worries, I totally understand where you're coming from.
I guess I wanna ask for clarification—do you know what resources they personally are willing to accept? I can provide from Jewish scholars/voices if that'll help.
The issue is, not many USAmerican/European sources are unbiased, and they often spout imperialist propaganda. So if they're looking primarily for those types resources, I'm afraid I cannot really give you too many.
Here's a segment from an Angela Davis interview from Democracy Now that I like: https://www.democracynow.org/2021/12/28/angela_davis_25th_anniversary_taped_segment
Also her book Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement: https://www.amazon.com/Freedom-Constant-Struggle-Palestine-Foundations/dp/1608465640
Angela Davis is often pretty vocal about the harms of imperialism throughout the world and specifically mentions Palestine in her activism. I suggest looking to her writings also.
Can't say I know too much about DemocracyNow! though.
Some other scholars/orgs are:
Jewish Voice For Peace: https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/
If Not Now: https://www.ifnotnowmovement.org/
Ilan Pappe (he's specifically "Israeli", if that will help at all)
Frank Barat
Noam Chomsky: https://chomsky.info/
Modoweiss: https://mondoweiss.net/ Now I don't totally love Mondoweiss all of the time but if the people in your life are really against learning from non-Palestinian sources they might be ok to introduce them. They do have Palestinian writers and editors tho.
I guess if its more that they're unwilling to trust SWANA news sources, you could show them The Institute for Palestine Studies, which is associated with Columbia University.
This list was a little difficult because I can't say I'd always recommend these sources (except, well, Angela Davis—I really look up to her—and Institute for Palestine Studies), but it could be a good introduction if they're rejecting other places that have more reliable reporting. If they're willing to accept these places/people, then you could move on to more Palestinian led sources.
I don't know if this helps, but you could say that they should listen to the Palestinian's POV because you'd always asked the people directly involved in a situation what their viewpoint is? Might help shift their understanding.
There are more sources that I thought about adding, but I need to look into them a little more. I might add on to this list later.
Let me know if any of this helps at all or even if it didn't, I'm genuinely really interested to see what they have to say.

im not saying this to come at you, as a bengal owner myself (though i do not plan to purchase any more of them), but aren’t there issues of ethicality surrounding the bengal breed as well, because of their wild cat blood? in particular ive heard stories from vets online regarding the fact that they do not handle visits the way fully domestic animals do and can be dangerous as a result. i see this in my own bengal as well despite his coming from a reliable and reputable breeder and regularly receiving comments from vets that he is very well behaved for the breed. despite being generations down, the wild blood has a clear effect on how well he handles shots, flea treatments, etc. however, outside of vets, very few people seem to actually discuss this matter in relation to the breed. i had personally not even thought about it until i saw them compared to wolfdogs, so i thought to bring it up to you in case you were the same.
Hey there anon, it's no trouble at all! I'll split this into two parts. It's gonna be a long one, so take a look under the cut for my answers (and a very cute photo of Kep).
The question about aggression is interesting to me, as I've never actually heard of bengal-specific aggression before. To vetblr and catblr, what are your experiences with bengal aggression? Do you find the breed leans one way or another?
On that note, let's look at aggression. Like I said, this ask is actually the first I've ever heard of bengal cats being aggressive! Of all the bengal owners I've talked to, both breeders and your average folk, none mentioned anything about human or cat aggression in bengals. As a high energy breed, bengals are known to be environmentally destructive when understimulated, but I can't find anything supported by science stating the breed is any more or less human/cat aggressive than your regular tabby. In talking to both my vet and acquaintances that work at vet clinics, they've all only had positive things to share about bengal personalities.
In my own F7 bengal experience Kepler is as sweet as a button, and even in high stress situations like parties or vet visits he is calm and friendly. He's never had issues with shots, ultrasounds, flea treatments, or handling from the vet. (Dave my domestic shorthair, on the other hand, needs multiple drugs including complete anesthetic to prevent him from hurting himself or veterinary staff, and has a greater history of aggressive behaviour). I actually purchased Kepler because the bengal personality seemed a lot safer and more consistent than adopting a dsh from the shelter and risking owning two aggressive cats.
Tumblr media
(A photo of Kepler at the fear free vet, allowing them to lay him on his back for an ultrasound and urine collection.)
Regarding ethics, the issue most look to is the Wild x Domestic cross of the asian leopard cat and domestic shorthair. In the United States and other countries with lax animal welfare laws, poaching and private ownership of servals to create the Savannah breed is an ongoing issue, so it makes sense to want to apply the same logic to bengals.
The reason the cross is not an issue to me personally is that the bengal is considered a "closed breed" under the TICA and CFA, meaning that breeders can no longer register and show <F4 bengals or create new bengal bloodlines by outcrossing to the asian leopard cat. As of this change reputable registered bengals are considered a fully domestic cat and not a wild cross.
Tumblr media
(The CFA breed standard stating no bengal can be outcrossed to asian leopard cats.)
This means that so long as you source your pet from a registered and reputable breeder, you are not contributing to the poaching or the unethical breeding of wild mixes. It's a fantastic inclusion, as it also actively discourages people from poaching, owning and breeding wildlife. It also makes it clear to potential cat owners like myself which breeders to avoid (ie. those that don't register or show their "bengals").
As an Albertan Canadian I also have further peace of mind as it is illegal for people in this province to own or import wildlife or wild mixes F4 or below, so there is no chance of getting a poached cat (or its offspring) unless I went to the black market or a particularly shady breeder.
Are there people in the United States and other countries that still cross domestics with ALCs? Most definitely. But I personally don't think that owning a cat that is;
Purchased from a reputable breeder;
Barred by law to be a recent outcross; and
Registered under a cat fancy that discourages outcrossing
actively supports modern poaching or unethical wildlife ownership. Cat fancy has taken steps to minimize the harm of bengal breeding and ownership on wildlife while still preserving a bit of cat history. Those steps are sufficient enough for me to be comfortable with it, and I hope that breeds like the savannah cat follow in their footsteps with a closed breed standard.
That being said, if the history of the bengal upsets you or is something that rubs you the wrong way, I wouldn't fault you for it. Wildlife and animal welfare is a bit of a tricky business, and it's not always black and white. Just make sure to do your research and be open to multiple opinions. I appreciate you reaching out to me, and I hope my own thoughts have given you something to think about, even if you don't agree. Cheers!

What i love about different zodiac signs/placements 🍷
[updated version] 🪴
______________________
scorpio moon/8th house moon: i love the depth that comes with these individuals, especially the moon placement. conversations are always gonna turn into deeper topics. they dont need "🥦 💨" to turn up talking about aliens, and im here for it - much love to them <3
leo sun: being able to uplift peoples mood. I love, love, lovee people with bright and "loud" personalities. Of course this doesnt apply to everyone (and thats a good thing!) - but too many leos ive met have been a breath of fresh air, i give them that :*
taurus rising: their ability to understand. Idk about you, but taurus risings don't just have the coziest aura i've ever seen, but are also often the most understanding, compassionate beings. I feel safe around them, theyre a comfy placement of mine
gemini sun: their switchy personality 👀 i am a gemini myself so i might not be the most reliable source for this, but i see the good in always changing minds. Ofc it can get exhausting, but questioning things on a regular basis doesnt sound too bad to me. Always updatet and convinced !
pisces venus: the way they love. idk but i know my pisces venus people be so nurturing, its healing. They speak your love language effortlessly, and make sure you FEEL loved, not "know" youre loved. i'm a fan <3
12th house stellium: their scary intuition. no matter if it comes in dreams, through visions, through whatever one of their senses: they KNOW. i need more friends as connected/sensitive as you.
libra sun/moon/rising: their sense for aesthetic. i just have noticed that libras in general know how to present themselves/things in general. If they have a social media page, most likely their feed is well sorted out, their pictures have that special something to them, and their stories would be beautifully creative. They have that in them i tell u. And their STYLE. Even if they dont actually wear that style bc they're broke, best believe they still know how to dress
This is just a little something i did, will be doing more parts, including more placements 🌶
Stay safe and hydrated 🦯

Thank you for your daily posts. And for keeping up the updates. I'm exhausted by the war and the hatred and the gaslighting and I appreciate you so much.
מקווה להיפגש על אמת יום אחד, בזמנים טובים יותר. יישר כוח. שולחת המון אהבה.
(I hope it's okay, because of my health, I've been falling behind on replying to asks, so I wanna respond to a bunch of lovely ones here...)
Awwww, hi lovely! :D It's so wonderful to get this message from you! Thank you SO MUCH! I appreciate you as well, and I am sending you the biggest of hugs!
I think we're all emotionally drained by what has been going on, not just Hamas' brutal massacre, or the war it forced us into and the pain and loss it is causing us continuously, or the terrorist attacks that keep on killing us and hurt even more after the massacre, or having to deal with the impossible choices Hamas has forced on us, but also the wave of hatred towards us that started on Oct 7, while our people were still being massacred.
It's even worse when we remember that this wave was enabled by antisemitic propaganda, which has been spread for so much longer, way before they could have used the current war as justification. But it really shows how Jews are treated worse doesn't it? All land back movements should be supported, but Jews returning to their native land is evil and racist, all violence and killing is bad, but killing Jews for living in their native land is "resistance," rape is bad and victims should always be listened to, but Jewish victims of rape are to be doubted and ignored if they're living in the Jewish ancestral land, colonialism is horrible and practically any act is justified in resisting it, but Arab colonialism can be easily ignored and even denied, at the same time as Jewish people being native to Israel will be erased, so that the anti-colonial narrative can be comfortably misapplied to Israel and justify the crimes perpetrated against Jews in and outside our homeland, genocide is the worst of crimes, making it incredibly serious, but when it can be used against Jews, suddenly every keyboard warrior is an expert on it and does not hesitate to falsely apply it to Israel in a manner that minimizes and disrespects actual genocides and their victims (including Jewish ones), intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime, but it's fine if Hamas declares its intent to kill every Jew in the world, most of whom are civilians, because *throws out another false slogan, but hey, it rhymes*...
אני גם מקוה להיפגש יום אחד, כך שאם את מתישהו בירושלים אנא אל תהססי ליצור איתי קשר, ואני שולחת מלא אהבה בחזרה!
Hey, I want to thank you for everything you've been doing. I'm not Jewish, but I have been trying to be as supportive as I currently can be, and I feel it helps me do that to actually know what's happening. I hope you haven't been being sent a bunch of horrible things because of the war, even though I know you probably have. Thank you again.
Thank YOU so much for this kindness, both your message and your support for Jewish people! I know it's probably the worst time to be an ally to Jews, which is why I appreciate each and every single one of you even more than I usually already do. I'll do my best to keep updating, and I also now have, in addition to my general Israel tag, a resources tag which I tried to fill with some of the more important subjects I've covered, and for which I provided links to reliable sources. I hope this is also something that's useful to you! As for hate, I've gotten a lot of it. But if those people think they're doing anything other than exposing themselves as cruel, and not caring about humaneness at all, and if they think I'm more scared of their nasty messages than I care about the well being of my own people, they obviously have no idea about who I am as a human being (which I guess is not surprising, if they don't really acknowledge me as one).
Thank you again, I'm sending you love and nothing but the best wishes, always!
next time Im at Yad Vashem Im gonna ask every staff member if they are you it would be an honor to meet you in person
That's so very kind, Nonnie! But I'm honestly nothing special. Yad Vashem itself is an incredibly powerful place to visit, anyone who would guide you through it will give you a prfound experience, I have no doubt of it. But if you ever are there, and you tell the guards you're looking for me (the head of security is actually one of my best friends, so I know he always keeps an eye on me and my whereabouts), it would be nice to say hi! :D
thank you for all your daily updates
No, Nonnie, thank YOU! I seriously appreciate the kindness of your message and encouragement!
From @blu-eyed-demon -
Tumblr media
Thank you so much, my lovely Jace! This is so kind and sweet, and you have been an amazing, continued source of comfort. You have so much kindness at a time when that's so scarcely found, I just with you that will always be met and wrapped with just as much kindness in return, everywhere you turn! *sends so much love*
From @yelenasbuddie -
Hey.. I'm just passing by to give you 💐💐💐 so you can have a much more wonderful day. Even if we don't talk much, I'd like to say that you are loved and mattered. I believe in you and you got this 🩷🩷🩷
and also -
Hope you are loved 🩷🩷🩷🧡💜🥰
Sweet Yelena! Thank you so much for all of your messages, I can't tell you how much I treasure them. I'm sure you feel like you're caught up in the middle of a storm, and I know it's not easy remaining strong in the middle of that, but you have, and I hope you give yourself a lot of credit for that, I def do. I'm also hopeful that you always see the measure of your own kindness reflected back to you! Sending lots of hugs and kisses and all the cutesy emojis in the world, to make you feel loved! (sorry, as a Jew I don't celebrate Valentine's Day, but I hope you had a lovely one...)
Been following you since the Robron days. Proud to still be following you now 🦾
Nonnie, this is so lovely! I can't believe you're still here since then! I'm the one who's proud to have such a wonderful follower. IDK if we've ever talked, but I hope I always made you feel appreciated if we did, and welcome and enriched even if we didn't. Thank you for sticking it out with me through the best and worst of times, it means so much! Sending you love!
From @dominikadecember -
sending you lots and lots and lots of love
Thank you so much, my lovely Dom! I hope you know you've been a real help throughout all of this, and that I manage to show you how much I appreciate you. I'm sending you tons of love back!
here to put some jewish love and kindness in ur inbox 💗✡️🇮🇱
Thank you so much, Nonnie! This is so gorgeous, I love it, and I appreciate you for the beautiful human you are. I'm assuming you're Jewish as well, so I hope it's okay if I send Jewish love, pride in the way we're standing up to all this hatred, and kindness right back to you, and I hope you're doing well throughout all this!
hey just wanted to say i really appreciate you and your blog.
Thank you wholeheartedly, Nonnie! I really appreciate this kindness, and I hope you know that you put a smile on my face, and that you really help and make a difference! Sending hugs and hope you're well!
To the Nonnie who doesn't know or follow me, but still had a look at my blog instead of just blindly accpeting the notion that I'm a bad person, and then added -
You're not a terrible person. My sympathy and support. It's awful how tumblr is suddenly full of antisemitic sheep.
Thank you so very much! I seriously don't know how to express to you how much it means to me, to know that there are people out there, who don't automatically participate in judging and silencing others, when it has become the more popular thing to do. IDK if you'll see this, since you're not following me, but I hope you do, because to me, you're the person who refuses to do the antisemitic salute just because everyone else is, and knowing that people can still have that strength, integrity and kindness really matters to me, and to other Jews who watch with horror the ease with which we're being vilified and de-humanized. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart for that, I seriously can't wish you enough good things...
Thank you to everyone who says, does, supports Jewish people, no matter how much you think it might be a small gesture. It all matters, you make the world a better place, and you give Jews hope! xoxox

hi sophie! ive been following for a while now, and i have a question- where do you look for all your sources? or rather, how do you find them?
im not very good at spotting credible, reliable and unbiased sources especially if Im searching online, and you also have quite a few older studies and write ups! its really interesting to see all these studies and artifiacts of human culture, and i wanna study it myself!
Most, I find on Google Scholar. And I try to check out the authors and publishers if I can to see their credentials and reputation.
I think most people probably already know this, but if you don't, it's always good to remember that you can search for specific terms with quotations.
If you want to learn about how psychologists use terms like "personality states", searching for this:
Tumblr media
gives poorer results than this:
Tumblr media
Always use quotation marks to narrow down the subject when applicable.
Others, I find through collections other people have gathered before me. A good way to find sources I found is just to check citations. If you see a paper claim something that they cite a source for, you can check the citations and go back further. And if an article in a citation is paywalled, you can often find it on Sci-Hub by copying and pasting the DOI.

Im considering getting some moth friends. Any tips on what enclosures I should use, what species to pick for beginners, what foods to feed them, etc?
Thanks in advance,
-Ash!
in general, most moths make pretty poor pets, especially as adults. keeping moths = rearing larvae, essentially, and this juvenile stage is probably the longest part of most species’ lifespans. if you want moths just for the adults, very few species I consider to be ethical to keep will be of interest to you, and I think the best way to enjoy moths is to find them in the wild and leave them there.
adult moths tend to not do well in captivity because they are hard to feed (where to put all the flowers?) and will beat themselves to death on most containers because they don’t understand “wall.” most moths are not suitable for captivity for these reasons and when entomologists/hobbyists rear a random larva they find, it’s usually intended to be killed as a scientific specimen once matured or released after a photo. this means there’s only a handful of moths that can reliably be bred in captivity (captive breeding being one of the most important requirements for ethical insectkeeping).
one of the main groups of these are saturniids (giant silkmoths), who do not feed as adults and are quite large and showy at all life stages. when I was 10 or so I kept saturniids including luna moths and Polyphemus moths, and raised the larvae in cat litter tubs I found on the street with mesh over the tops, feeding them daily with fresh branches from neighborhood trees (my dad was very helpful in cutting down the foodplants). after pupation I kept the pupae in a large tub with lots of stick and egg carton perches that I occasionally misted for moisture. since they were from local stock I would release the adults at night; saturniids are definitely less active than, say, a hawkmoth or a noctuid that needs to feed, but still often get quite beat up just from living in mesh containers and I didn’t like seeing that.
native giant silkmoths may not be legal to keep in all areas, and exotic species are tightly controlled in the US where I live. it can be difficult to obtain eggs here, even of native species. never release any moth that isn’t native, and the most responsible thing to do is not release any at all due to captive population densities being a potential source of disease.
another option is domesticated silkworms (Bombyx mori), which I’d say are probably the most ethical moth to keep since they are adapted to life in human care. they’re flightless and also do not feed as adults; larvae eat mulberry leaves but can also be maintained on a formulated mush that can be purchased (not a fan of the price in the US!). many reptile sites or stores stock them as reptile food, probably the best way to get them in manageable quantities. Galleria waxworms can be obtained in a similar way, but require a honey/syrup/bran diet that’s highly unpleasant to produce.
some hawkmoths can be kept as pets, such as Manduca sexta hornworms also used as reptile feeders, although they are highly active and feeding them can be a challenge. in Europe the death’s head hawkmoths (Acherontia) can be obtained sometimes, and adults eat honey but again can be difficult to get eating. both species prefer tomato and other nightshades as larval food.
as said before, non-saturniid and non-B. mori moths are best found as larvae, maintained on what food you found them eating, then released as adults. if you are as crazy as me and willing to risk all your foodstuffs becoming infested, some grain pest moths like Plodia and Pyralis are easy to maintain on bran, nuts, and oats, but this is probably very far from “pet moths” you’re looking for.

Hey! Idk if this still interests you or not but I saw your post saying Richtofen isn’t a n@zi
I also believe this and have done a lot of research but I think I have trouble with finding sources as I haven’t been able to find anything that shows that he is against fascism + hates it, which makes it difficult to argue that he isn’t one when talking to others about it.
Do you have proof or some sort of instance that either states or hints towards this that could help with the argument that he is against n@zis?
I’d appreciate any info you give!
Hello anon! Oh wow It has been a hot second since I've Codsed my Zombies. I'm not sure how much you know already. So I'll just go down the list of things I remeber! And i'll make this a bit beginner freindly, just in case anyone needs to show this to someone.
Also feel free to add to it!!! Or feel free to point out if I misspoke it HAS been a bit...
1) For starters, although the lore reason for Richtofen's outfit is unknown (most anything i could say here would be pure speculation and HC), we do know that he was originally just a re-used asset from the main game. He comes from the villian character Heinrich Amsel. When COD Zombies (previously Nazi Zombies) first started out, all the characters were blank slate re-used and slightly recolored assets. They ofc later gave them all names and stories (although testing the waters at first, a lot of early story got ret-conned. Such as Richtofen being a back ally surgeon.) But they unfortunately never re-designed him outside of removing the swastika :( but I also belive it's important beacuse I feel like it's one of the only things ppl bring up when the try and say Richtofen is a nazi, and I feel like it holds no weight beacuse of these things.
(Here is Heinrich Amsel. As u can see, clearly where Richtofen's original model comes from.)

2) lore stuff is dificult to pile evidance for due to how the lore in the game itself is presented. If you want the freshest and best sources (aside from meticulously beating every easter egg and finding all the secrets) YouTube videos with the quotes/Easter eggs/secrets are your best bet aside from going in game and grabbing them yourself. I can't particularly remeber what exsact maps may be able to help you. Aside from Classified!
It's just generally a real important part of the basic lore that Richtofen isn't a Nazi and hates them. It's kinda what kicks off....everything that happend. Im sure anyone could get this information from any reliable Cod Zombies lore video (i uhhh don't know which ones are reliable i haven't watched any! Probably check out Mr.RoflWaffles?). For starters, Richtofen was always a spy. He worked for the Illuminati before Maxis asked him to join Group 935, and Richtofen only joined so he could feed information back to the Illuminati. It's also important to note that Group 935 was not originally associated with Nazis. Maxis made a deal with the nazis without anyone's permission (funding and test subjects in exchange for weapons and super soldiers.) And that was one of many things that pissed Richtofen off so badly that he gathered everyone up to make a secret section of Group 935, that both worked with the allies, and planned on killing off Maxis. (Ofc his goal was later shifted and corupted by the Apothicons. But this is about how Richtofen isn't a Nazi, not questioning him as a dubious person. There was also all of the moon shit, Maxis not caring about Richtofen's experiments, a whole boat load of resons that Richtofen wanted that man dead.)
(Also. Richtofen never fought in ww2 and ww2 is already over by the time the zombie breakout happens.)
Here is a link to the Film Reels in Classified, many of which talk about how Richtofen was working against Maxis (and the nazis) and even has some verbal confirmation from Richtofen about his distaste for nazis.
youtube
Also here is also the Kronorium! As far as I know, it should still be a reliable sorce! (Like i said, it's been a while). And I think it's a bit better than the wiki (which still says his nationality is nazi german...instead of just saying he's german....) there is plenty of stuff in the interactive book that explains
https://kronorium.com/
2) here are some instances of his voice actor, Nolan North, confirming that he isn't a Nazi! (Thank you @jamieaiken919 for digging these up for me!!!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And did that's kinda all I have for now! Like I said anyone is free to add!

ok… wait… hold on! is this real? like real real?? cause i know that deuxmoi is full of shit most of the time but like can someone says if this is true cause… wtf??? that means it would’ve happen at the fan expo Portland? wtf?? what gives you the right????
and if it is false - which I believe it is cause like I said deuxmoi isn’t a reliable source (such as that josephquinng*ssipgirl account which is where the anonymous tip probably came from) - can we stop spreading rumors about his life?? he’s only human after all
feel free to rant in the comments cause I want to know if im the only one that feels this way… it’s unbelievable- what do you guys think?
(sorry to be that kind of person but I just wanted to get this off my chest - it bothers me)

"self diagnosis is bad!" if a mental health professional caught on to my narcissistic traits then i could not fucking trust that i wouldnt be dehumanized and have that get in the way of getting treatment for other mental health issues i have, i do not trust people with power over me to know if i have npd, because the majority of people view narcissists as inherently abusive subhuman monsters
"if youre gonna self dx at least do a lot of research!" yeah im TRYING but it is insanely difficult to find reliable sources, because whenever i try to look up any information about my symptoms i get flooded with articles about how to spot a narcissist and how to cope with being around a narcissist and why our low empathy makes us actually the worst most irritating most hurtful excuses for people in the world, because the majority of people view narcissists as inherently abusive subhuman monsters
"well i guess narcissists just never seek help!" i need you to look me in the eyes and say that one more time with your whole chest
