@ literally everyone waiting on a new Billy Batson and the Troubles of Work Life Balance chapter:
Very sorry for the unexpected hiatus!
Mostly my fixations have been elsewhere that I can’t focus on writing Billy.
Please know I may not respond to all comments but I read them! (A very heart felt one motivated me to write this actually!) And I appreciate that yall have read it! Maybe even reread it!
It honestly brings me such sincere joy knowing you’ve liked the story! I hope I can give yall a new chapter at some point, but truly thank you!
calling something “spiritually israeli” in a derogatory way is so cartoonishly antisemitic you would think it might give a self-described leftist pause. unfortunately i am still making this post
and these posts are all very recent.
i want believe the stranger things fans posting this shit are very, very young and will one day cringe when they remember their #antisemitism era. unfortunately i don’t believe! and also this shit is actively getting jews killed.
[ID: A Mob Psycho 100 comic. Muraki gestures to Sakurai, who’s glaring and surrounded by an ominous red-black aura while holding up a sword, and says, “You must understand– he had a terrible childhood.” Mob stares at him, dead-eyed, and replies, “Yes, I understand. I’m having a terrible childhood right now.” Reigen is lying twisted behind him in the Family Guy Death pose. End ID]
A few days ago, one of my colleagues saw a one year old kitty for sudden onset seizures. First thought was idiopathic epilepsy, but:
Turned out that someone in the family had brought lilies into the house and put them up high, thinking that the cat wouldn’t get to them. Alas, even a lick of pollen from lilies causes fatal kidney damage in cats.
Said cat was not epileptic. Her kidneys were fried, so she lost her life at one year of age.
If you have cats in the house, that means no lilies, no matter how high up they are.
No lilies. Ever. Not even once. If someone gives you a bouquet with lilies, throw the lilies out before you ever bring those flowers into your house. Just breathing the pollen in the air can kill a cat.
If you have cats, please take this seriously. No lilies.
can non natives stop acting surprised and performatively jokey “uhh what lol!” about ice going after native americans. theyve been doing this for years and it ramped up last year and i had to hear all the stupid “uhhhh where will u deport them to 😜 silly republicans!” comments as if its not always been about detaining torturing murdering using as slave labor scattering communities through fear and intimidation etc. be an adult and act with maturity please. its not quirky or confusing its directly in line with americas racism and white supremacy to make sure native americans are eradicated
I think it’s notable also particularly in the Minneapolis context that of the 6 or so (US) Native people I have heard of being detained in the past few days there, at least half were unhoused. This context is important esp given the recent history (I can’t remember the year but starting sometime when I lived there from 2016-2020) of police violently dismantling encampments of Native unhoused people. the Native population in Minneapolis is like 5% but Native people make up almost half the unsheltered homeless population, iirc. the ICE harassment of tribal citizens is not of course limited to unhoused Natives but I think it’s important to see the connections of how these developments are connected to previous and ongoing violence against unhoused people
my dad (Maori) works on a ship with all Maori/Tongan/Samoan fisherman- and one Aussie guy called Jake.
And that wasn’t done on purpose just sort of how it ended up, but Jake recently got an injury so they put him on a Different boat just for a little bit (a sit in the wheelhouse and scout type of boat, instead of the main fishing one) and he only got back to my dad’s ship today and he was apparently like Shaking. He was Traumatised.
Dad said Jake kept pulling him aside and going “They were all yelling on there, but in a MEAN way” “They didn’t clean… Like at ALL”
Jake experienced what a boat full of old school Aussie fisherman is like. That is the norm Jake. You just happened to be on the all Island boy boat on your first go out. “It was time for dinner and they had FROZEN nuggets” Jake that’s what they have on ships that are out at sea for months at a time.
On my dad’s boat they are eating fresh fish and coconut milk Ceviche. They’re grilling steaks on an open bbq on the deck that probably is not regulation. All the guys have their own special knives to prepare sashimi every couple days. Everyone is happily doing their own work so they can clock out early and set up a movie on the deck. Jake did you genuinely believe that’s what every boat was doing.
Local Australian man is fed fresh juices and smoked fish for first time- refuses to go back to beef jerky boat life
jake that first night when they served a freezer tray tv dinner and not an overflowing plate of fish that’s probably going for conservatively like $40-$80 bucks a kilo but the guys decided Eh we’ll catch more let’s just fry it up:
Breaking: TikTok is better bc it’s more hostile towards humanity
The lack of video content is what kept us here… I thought we all agree that the best feature of this hellhole was and always will be anonymity.
Tumblr’s not asking for my phone number. It’s not going through my contacts to try and connect me with my fucking colleagues. I can come here and talk about whatever I want without anyone ever seeing my face or hearing my voice. I don’t have to censor myself and hide my interests or enthusiasm out of fear of consequences it might have in my real life.
I think the biggest misunderstanding they have of Tumblr is that they think of it as a social media platform when in actuality it’s a blogging platform with social features.
I like the use of Metroman here because if there’s one thing Tumblr users collectively agree on it’s that we want everyone to think we’re dead
