Reminiscing about these clay mochis I made in 2020 when I was a wee little lad

Hey I just Assumed that "cottontail" was simply the American dialect word for. Yknow. Rabbit-ass rabbits. Standard bunnies. NO IT'S A WHOLE SET OF DIFFERENT SPECIES Y'ALL HAVE IN THE AMERICAS was anyone gonna tell me?!

#I guess cus 'normal rabbits' (european rabbits) are introduced to Australia I assume they'd been introduced to America too #good to know theres a whole thriving ecosystem of distinct native rabbit and hare species in the Americas #draco speaks

the older I get, the more fiercely do I champion the spite filled approach of “you will rip my democratic civic rights and duty from my cold dead hands” and I think it’s a view the youth(tm) in the US and Canada need to take on board

#politics #just thinking about those 450+ anti queer laws in the offing of being passed in the US #it’s coming for canada too #mark my words here #us politics #Canadian politics #in 2-4 years canada will be following america #provided we don’t make active attempts to stop that from happening #Canada should not forget we are the originators of the proud boys #that things like the sons of Odin thrive in Hamilton and Halifax

Your tags on my post are so true. They dont care for any asian cc or content thats not animeified east asian sims and its sickening

yknow what's even more sickening? the gorgeous cultures of just southeast asia alone, not yet including the rest of asia

disclaimer: im a malay person from singapore, but that does not mean i am knowledgeable in every asean country and their respective cultures. im very open to learning about them however! please, please correct me if im wrong.

additional note: all of these countries have multiple cultures which means multiple traditional dressings. not to mention colonization also places a huge impact on traditional clothing. i cant put all of them bc... i can only put 10 pictures per post on mobile...

(countries named are above pictures)

thailand

myanmar

malaysia and the natives of singapore (baju kurung or baju melayu)

indonesia (the general kebaya and balinese culture's wedding outfits)

cambodia – the khmer people specifically, correct me if im wrong

#text #rant #i love cultural clothing sm like #cultural clothes are so REGAL and STUNNING #keep in mind when i say cultural i dont think about north america at all #and by NA i mean white north americans bc american black culture is thriving #also britain idk what u guys' culture look like at all and no #tea is not urs tea is from india and china #nobody in england is dressing up like marie antoinette for weddings and stuff yknow what i mean? #ik we're talking about sims cc and all but if i get the chance to gush about (southeast asian) culture i will

Yeah, male rap is done for as a genre. Low vibrational behavior being around any male rappers of today. That French Montana video shooting is going to have some serious repercussions in the industry. People will begin to reevaluate if male rappers should be around for anything industry related or in the public at all due to safety fears.

#SMH #Rap game pathology #The Ladies are thriving and the men are down bad #I'll rock the golden age women and queer rap but these dudes right now are giving the culture a bad name everywhere #Too many bad things happening with male rappers in the vicinity of anything #Men shouldn't have guns #Attracts the wrong element too much #I hate that for us #Another typical day in America

rant incoming lol ive been broken emotionally. this goes out to anyone who feels like theyre living in the twilight zone rn like i do

#i hate the wednesday show lol i cant take it anymore #jenna ortegas performance is the only thing getting me through this #i cant believe how much praise this is getting its actually breaking my brain #nothing about this is giving addams family.... #you could literally change them out for new characters and it wouldnt make a difference #im watching wednesday on a date watching legally blonde i REALLY cant take this anymore #cant believe they put wednesday in an environment where she isnt an outcast #even tho the show keeps TELLING me shes still an outcast #put her back in the prep school in conservative middle america that is where the addams family was designed to THRIVE #and every character is so boooorrrriiinnnnggg #except for bianca kind of she has potential #every time they try to do some kind of reference to the movies im just like 'dang wish i was watching that instead rn dont remind me' #AND i cant believe they really gave wednesday the 'ugh im a teen and i hate my mom' trait #the whole POINT of the addams family is that they are the antitheses of the average nuclear family #so why give her this extremely common teenage girl trait #this show is fine if you have never had any exposure to the addams family or just straight up didnt like the addams family #bc its not the addams family #the family isnt even there!!! #thats the worst part for me :( #why not have a B plot back at the addams mansion? #instead of all these bland boring characters i can hardly remember the names of #and her love interests SUCK!!! THEY SUCK!!! the Only character it makes sense for her to befriend is eugene #and they put him in the hospital almost immediately #rant over do not defend this show to me #u can enjoy it or whatever but i cant do it anymore #her dress was pretty tho. and fester was ok #also morticia and gomez have zero chemistry which is a crime #their younger counterparts had more chemistry and their acting was weak so that says a lot #sorry i was raised on the 60s show and the 90s movies i tried to be fair but this is Some Shit my dude.. its giving CW #it speaks

You never know what people do outside their day jobs.

thinking about how america’s sweetheart verse jestiny really fucks over the whole population of hope county well that’s universe constant but by capitalizing on the sensationalism surrounding the reaping. mary may has to deal with the spread eagle being overrun with true crime fans who just want to ask about her time with jessie. every annoying out of towner joey pulls over for speeding asks “wait are you the deputy hudson that worked with jestiny rook?” jerome rebuilds his flock just to lose them again because tourists keep crowding his sunday service and pushing the real believers out.

except for adelaide who is also cashing in and living her best life. she’s building her luxury suites for yuppies she’s marketing herself as jestiny rook’s close personal friend she’s stocking the gift shop with signed copies of her novel. she’s offering boat tours that go by locations mentioned in the book and at the end she mentions she offers even more exclusive helicopter tours that visit the really remote locations. for just $50 per session you can be guided through the same yoga routine jestiny once did there

#she’s thriving. #also the only person willing to offer jestiny lodging when she’s in town so bonus publicity from the occasional sightings #v: america’s sweetheart

In my Fantasy America RPG, there's a quest for EL DORADO!!!!!!!!! where it's in fact just a cultural tour where you get patiently and lovingly explained the facts behind the myth with well-researched historical sources. There's nothing else.

If you insist in searching for a city of gold, you get thrown to a lake and drown.

No, there's no ritual this time. The game kills you for cringe. You lose a couple levels too.

#I hate EL DORADO!!!!!!!!!! #I used to love the movie and it does have some interesting things but the damage that fucking legend has done to historical perception #of the Americas... fucking hidden civilizations and ruins instead of cultures who were thriving then conquered and still alive today #cosas mias

Whenever I see people post stuff like this I’m like. Watch anime. You’re literally just describing anime.

#theres a fight over at the morgue #like did you know animation exists outside of america #one of the replies saying ‘’It’s either kid’s cartoons or those adult shows that just thrive on making sex jokes and being edgy’’ jfc #theres more to explore in animation than just spongebob and family guy #just my onion

The funniest moment of La Guerra de la Triple Alianza for me

Translation: The War of the Triple Alliance (meaning Brazil/Empire of Brazil x Argentina x Uruguay vs Paraguay)

***

Brazil: *holds political power over Uruguay*

Argentina: Y'know, I don't like where this war is going... I'm stepping down

Uruguay, following Argentina like a duckling to its mother: Me too

Brazil:

#and JUST when they were about to disappear paraguay #fortunately. that didn't happen #and paraguay is thriving now (? #at least as much as a latine country can thrive anyway #this is strictly humor #history #humor #funny #shitpost #latin america #imperio del brazil #argentina #uruguay #paraguay #la guerra del paraguay #la guerra de la triple alianza

Ashkie cuisine is heavy on dairy and bread and chicken/geese because they keep well in cool conditions and the latter are less expensive to raise than cattle. My bil (sephardic) is amazed at how sweet a lot of meat dishes are and like yeah, if ur poor and want to spice things up with no spices to work with, you go crazy with sugar beets and honey. And sugar is already enough of a godsend in a region where the main diet of even the goys was/is potatoes and alcohol and depression

#last words are not mine i am quoting a great uncle #man died at 105 years of age and thrived in the americas #absolutely hated living in eastern europe #the jewish experience tag

after listening and reading to the coverage and discussion of this second major shooting within ~10 days it’s just so clear to me that this fucking country refuses to reckon with the utter root of the problem. and that is the nearly always men who can and are allowed to take out any emotions they have on everyone and anyone via violence. they’re told they can hurt and kill people, they go hurt and kill people, they’re allowed to keep hurting and killing people. that is why this keeps happening. 

and if it’s not super apparent with the upcoming repeal of roe plus the attack on DV victims/metoo backlash (& much more), this all ties back with rising violence from men who feel that their place in the world is threatened. with racist, anti-immigrant, anti-semitic, islamophobic, homophobic, transphobic, and yes misogynistic motivations. it has become tangibly more vitriolic and hateful as of late. yet raining terror down on people abroad and at home is what this country has always been about and will continue to be about, to serve violent primarily white men

america breeds extremism, always has, and I’m dying for mainstream discourse on this to really happen. other factors regarding mass shootings particularly include: gun control of fucking course; everything about the media coverage of shootings; unregulated internet forums aiding radicalization; the culture of worshipping violence in america; and overall, white men slowly losing privilege/their rule being challenged. until we can say that out loud in public, on tv, every day, nothing’s changing. so many oppressed groups have gained power to exist and be freer recently, but white men have not changed, and many of them are willing to kill us all to stop from changing. that’s it 

#uvalde #i am so sad and tired today #because i can tell you as a dv victim who dealt with abusive men this dynamic is very familiar #violence that keeps us all in line violence that wears us down and fires them up #all men gain from violent men who put this fear within the oppressed classes of people #and there are no consequences to them and only to the victims stuck in the dynamic #so i want to kick some people's teeth in saying 'just hug your kids more show them love let them express emotions' #oppressors/abusers do this bc the system of violence and hierarchy serves them very well it makes them thrive #the solution is to take away violent men and white men's power #...fucking dumbasses like yeah askreddit which features the primary demographic of people who keep shooting up elementary schools #the connection between mass shooters and misogyny is very strong and white supremacy grips this country as well #i just cant believe how opaque this issue seems to many like men dont love beating and kiling children too come on #america loves brutalizing children and any vulnerable people end of story #im not an expert but fuck if it helps someone get this situation then sure
