FUCK GENERATIVE AI AND THE PEOPLE SHOVING IT DOWN OUR THROATS. FUCK THEM WITHOUT THE COURTESY OF A REACH-AROUND, BUT THE USE OF A BARB-WIRE BAT.

me and my homies support real artists who put their passion into their pieces instead of a machine who rips off the hard work of talented peeps

I cannot say this more eloquently than what was posted above. Reposting for the good of the world.

How has THIS idea never made it into an episode or direct-to-video cartoon movie? 50+ years of this series, and they never once swapped species? Preposterous. Insane. I want a cartoon series on this pemise, with the cute art, where there is an opening title sequence as you watch Human Scooby Doo finding & adopting these four dogs & getting The Mystery Machine so the dogs have enough space to be comfy whilst traveling.

I wanted to draw Scooby doo humanized with hippie vibes, and the whole gang as dogs,, maybe I draw them more(?? 👀✨

I somehow missed this song before today, but it does, unironically, slap.

tumblr staff finding out their site has crowdsourced a viral song, only to discover it is 100% unusable in any corporate marketing scenario

Happy Clair Cameron Patterson Day!

TIL that the reason lead levels in children’s blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.

Okay, this has been bothering me since my first playthrough of Stardew Valley. Lewis is a complete shitheel of a human being, which the player finds out over time spent exploring, fixing the community center, talking to the citizens, and doing side quests.

He embezzled tax money to make a solid gold statue of himself instead of fixing up the community center. He yells at Sam for daring to skateboard on the paved sidewalk. He doesn't like fish, so he always gives Willy the lowest score during the Fair. He is actively stringing along Marnie into having a secret affair instead of a relationship out in the open because he fears the town's reaction. Any time you put his dirty laundry on display (sometimes literally), he pays you off and tells you to mind your business. When the Luau is underway, he is snappish to you and the rest of the town, but is polite to the Governor, and if the soup isn't good enough, he will chastise the townsfolk, implying blame everywhere but to himself. He is a corrupt politician, point blank.

One of his dialog options is the following when you chat with him: "I've been Mayor of Pelican Town for over twenty years! No one ever runs against me when it's time for an election. I like to think that it means I'm doing my job well. I like being Mayor.”

There is no Election Day event in Stardew Valley.

I understand that this game has to have a certain amount of cozy small-town charm where little things change, but overall things stay the same. However, it would be great to have an Election Day in the vanilla version of the game so that we can have more development in that area, if for no other reason than to vote for somebody other than Lewis as a write-in, if it turns out that nobody runs against him...or to nominate myself once I have full hearts of everybody in town.

I can't eat gluten without my body getting mad at me. So I would first pat this lovely, crabby dude, and then hours later, with my visceral hunger sated, let my body rage at me for my audacity.

Will you treat him gently with his bread soft carapace...? (...)

As an old person of 40, I was in high school in the late 90s-early 00s, in a small town in Midwest USA. It took me literally years after high school to find out about asexuality and I wasn't made wrong somehow in my brain. The health class in high school had a section on sex education, where they taught us about STD/STIs, the correct way to put on a condom, and general body changes and what to look for when it came to cancer lump self-checks. The talk of sexualities was nowhere; literally heteronormative because they never even acknowledged LGBT. The talk about sex situations and consent was boiled down to "no means no, and don't have sex without a condom". It was a rolling dumpster fire of a class.

“but why do we need to teach or mention asexuality in health class”

well my guy, maybe so asexual teens dont think something’s wrong w them ???

I am 40 years old, and after having to start my career path all over again, I am now employed at a major university in their financial department, as part of a team that audits expense reports. It's like the super-lite version of forensic accounting, and it fascinates me like no other job ever has, with the exception of working at a video rental store in the early 2000's in my small hometown.

it’s crazy how i don’t know what any of you do for school/uni/work? who are you guys outside of tumblr? what do you work as??
