In 1993, a group of Mario, Peach and Yoshi plushes known as the "Color-Me Mario" set were released in Japan. These were mostly covered in a white material that could be colored with crayons and then washed off.

Here is a rare photo of a set of all three plushes in pristine condition.

[ID: Three-panel Pills That Make You Green comic with crudely drawn stick figures representing people.

Panel 1: Zoom in on orange stick figure's face. They are saying:

"Huh. I... don't feel bad right now."

Panel 2: Slight zoom out, showing that they are laying down.

"I haven't thought about spectral decompositions all day. Nobody's telling me I'll never be orange enough. This... is kind of nice?"

Panel 3: Zoom out further, revealing that the stick figure is laying in a grassy field drawn in a rough digital painting style, with mountains in the distance and a blue sky with sparse clouds.

"Maybe it's going to be okay actually."

End ID.]

Seeing a lot of posts like "umm why does everyone love bees and hate wasps, bees are bastards and they sting you why are they the only insect anyone actually cares about, why does everyone hate wasps when they're the same as bees"

Well you see, everyone ALSO used to hate bees. Like. You guys are just too young to remember when everyone who wasn't an apiarist or a gardener or an ecologist was militantly aggressive towards bees Because They Sting You. People would burn their hives and kill them all when they were found, not call a bee guy to relocate them, they'd stomp bees in the clover if they saw them. They actively hunted down and destroyed hives.

The reason "everyone loves bees" isnt an arbitrary whimsical choice because they're cuter than wasps. It's because bee lovers made a HUGE effort to encourage people to see bees as valuable pollinators and friendly little guys that just want to defend their hive. They taught people to see bees as cute and fluffy! There were awareness campaigns about the value of bees, there were advertisements, there were little documentaries and articles teaching people how to readjust their views on bees so that the hatred of them didn't cause complete ecological and agricultural collapse.

Bee lovers used to be in the exact same position that everyone who loves other insects is - you say that you like this creature and everyone in a 10km radius comes crawling over to tell you all the ways they personally would kill them.

The fact that it's so common now for people to think bees are cute fun little guys doing an important job is a fucking monumental victory and it was hard won, and it's as recent as in the last 20 years. When I was a kid in the 90s, everyone hated bees except ecologists and bug guys.

If you want this for wasps too (which i also want) you gotta put the work in to change people's perceptions.

Me when I'm old as fuck and my grandkids talk to me: this reminds me of a post. I gotta go find the post

Grandkids: grandpa sit down you don't need to show us a post

Me: (not listening) Now where was that post....

the sunk cost fallacy has been my favorite fallacy for as long as I can remember. so at this point it's probably too late to pick a different one

The lion lowkey concerns himself a little bit

“This is a tapestry I made myself! I just finished it!” 

“…. this is…. big.”

“Eighty feet long, ten high, in forty panels! It was originally going to be sixty feet, but then the Thomas Malory Arthuriana got big and I had to put more stuff in.” 

“… Malory published in the fifteenth century.” 

“Do you have any idea how long it takes one person to embroider eight thousand square feet of tapestry?” 

“You’ve had a lot of free time in the last eight hundred years, haven’t you?” 

“Not once I took up embroidery as a hobby, no!” 

“Want to see my stalagmite cultivation work?”

sad girly girl who wears white dresses and curls her hair and puts on no makeup makeup every morning who gets a butch makeover montage at the end of the movie and everyone goes wow. also they replace his contact lenses with thick stupid nerd glasses. is this anything

It's slow going but The Pile CAN be smallened!

Hell yeah! Progress is incremental! And that's ok!

It sure is! And as I said in the blog post I wrote about The Pile, if it's been built up over many years it's unrealistic and unfair to yourself to expect to finish all those things quickly.

Also I added 2 more things to The Pile in 2024, but none in 2025, so I'm getting much better at finishing things before moving on to new things! It gets easier and easier to pick up old projects the more of them I do too!

man we gotta get regular porn back on this website
