kinda disappointed that its probably just an unsubstantiated rumour, but tbh Wealwell saying that "everyone knows [Maxwell] is cursed" when he's very clearly just learnt about that rumour himself is PEAK sibling behaviour and i love it

“Medieval peasants couldn’t handle my Spotify playlist” but could YOU handle a medieval bard relaying the epic of Beowulf over the course of an hour? Humble yourself.

okay now that we’ve a had couple lesbian blockbusters and milfs are having a romance moment, we need to bring back the manic pixie dream girl. she was never fuckin suited to fixing all the problems of some boring twenty year old everyman, but you know who could actually benefit from a quirky free-spirited blue haired girl with pronouns (she/they)? a newly divorced forty-something mom who’s trying to learn how to be herself for the first time in her life

People still tend to lump JK Rowling in with the category of ~problematic artists~ and I need everyone to understand that is not the problem with her. She is not comparable to anyone who wrote a piece of fiction you hate, or someone who made rude comments in 2015 and has since learned better.

She is far more like Elon Musk. She is a radicalized person with an extreme amount of social and financial power, and for YEARS she has been using that power to try to influence her government into hurting vulnerable people, on purpose. And she has succeeded. THAT is the problem with her, and THAT is why spending money on her books is so dangerous, not because her books aged badly.

Critiquing her work is fine, of course (I personally was never a fan so I really don’t care) but you NEED to understand that fiction is not the main issue here. And I truly think acting like she’s the same as the rest of any giant list of ~problematic creators of the week~ waters down how dangerous she is.

Genuine friendly summer reminder for my fellow fat people.

We have more body than skinny people so we also contain more water and therefore need to drink more. 2 Litres is something skinny people need to drink we need more. I aim for 4 litres a day.

While any waterbased liquid is good try to not drink all 4 litres in coke or soda. I absolutley do recommend sport drinks or similar things. Fat people like us, or at least me, sweat a lot in this heat even without sport. Refill those electrolytes. Your body will thank you.

My go to drink at home is a 2 litre jug of water with just enough store bought raspberry or orange syrup that it has a taste thats not water.

Please stay hydrated in this heat and take care of your body. Its the only one you have.

(If you clown on fat people in tags/replies/comments I will hunt you for sport)

the thing about HP that makes it so endlessly compelling and the heart of such a big immense fandom is that there's things in it that are good and there's things that are good without the author realizing it and there's her horrible views in it too and there's things that could be good but aren't actually done and there's things that are just bad but the skin is compelling is has the proverbial good bones--and that leads to the impulse to fix it by actually exploring what jkr doesn't. like out of all the fandoms ive been in hp is probably the most striking where its fic is truly amazing and incredibly creative and yet the series itself is like fine. it is a great spur of ideas, not so much great in itself....it contains multitudes in its fic because it has enough jumping off points where you can go anywhere in fic, but the series is pretty standard hero's journey with a basic urban fantasy backdrop that isn't heavy on the 'real world' part at all but fic writers occasionally go in the real world direction really well and more often go into the fantasy part in a more worked out way than JKR, which can often work very well.

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

🇳🇱haribo gummy bear recall in the netherlands due to marijuana contamination🇳🇱

The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) confirmed cannabis contamination in kilogram bags of Haribo’s Happy Cola F!ZZ candy, prompting a nationwide recall. The discovery followed reports that multiple members of one family became ill after eating the product. The contamination first came to light after the family reported their symptoms to police. The NVWA took samples of the candy, which tested positive for cannabis. The exact cause of the cannabis contamination remains unknown.

the gummy bears have weed in them. they are not supposed to do that.

several members of one family got high which prompted an investigation, and that investigation found weed. and nobody seems to know how that happened!

So far, only three affected bags have been identified, but Haribo is recalling the entire batch as a precaution. An investigation into the matter is ongoing, with close cooperation between the regulator and the candy company. Haribo warned consumers not to eat the 1,000-gram bags of Happy Cola F!ZZ with the production code L341-4002307906 and an expiration date of January 2026. The company urged customers to send the products directly to Haribo for a refund, instead of returning the product to stores.

some emphasis mine.

the bags to avoid are 1kg happy cola f!zz production code L341-4002307906 with expiration date of january 2026. only three contaminated bags have been found so far, but the entire production code is getting recalled just to be safe. if you eat haribo gummy bears and get high, please reach out to the company.

do not return the bags to the store. send them directly to haribo.

Haribo stressed that other production codes of Happy Cola F!ZZ are not affected, seeing products not subject to the recall are safe. Consumers with questions can contact Haribo’s Consumer Service at 076-5878950 on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., or by email at info-NL@haribo.com.

you dont have to be a parent to understand the horror of walking into a room to discover that the baby crawled out of his crib and onto that pottery wheel you forgot to turn off, and while the baby is spinning around and around, the dog is sitting there all calm, like a person, gently using his paws to fashion the babys soft cartilage head into something a little more modern.  it might be the classic tale of bad parenting, but lets see where the dog is going with this
