this is going to sound insanely terminally online but to me the creation of Veritas Man Camilo Wallace and the super niche tendencies of the author is like the Empress Theresa of the comic world 😭 making the heroes beloved by all for how goodly and Catholic they are and anyone opposing them is an ugly hater, having weird and even insidious morals, both authors and their characters are unable to take criticism, shoehorning super niche interests into their characters that are purely extensions of themselves, horrible dialogue, poor writing and errors left in, pacing issues, heroes are Mary Sues, weird ways of describing or depicting underage girl characters, both authors obsess over internet trolls or “SJWs” and have it fully become their works, both heroes talk like robots because they’re mouthpieces and their voices are just how the authors speak

it’s just funny to me how deeply specific the author is about Veritas Man. flip-flopping between the phonetic and spelled versions of his Latin name because he’s trying to be a geek but has no consistency for how and when it’s used. main character has a ventriloquist career the likes of Jeff Dunham and all the ladies LOVE him and line up at his door for sex. specifically a Benedictine Catholic probably because that is what the author is and Camilo seems like an ideal version of his preferred values, much like Theresa is the “ideal Catholic good girl”. then of course Veritas Man is in love with an underage tennis player (another Catholic good girl) and makes it a point to tell the audience that he ‘won’t do anything’ until she’s old enough 🤢 Veritas Man always needing to espouse anti-social justice talking points despite being a superhero and goodly Catholic man, much like Theresa dunks on the haters and trolls of the world who oppose her tyranny—I mean goodliness. one of the funnier aspects of the world Veritas Man lives in is how everyone around him is inexplicably Catholic and saves the world through prayer except the SJWs who are shown to be Satanists

you ever get just one sentence into something and already know it's written by some kind of idiot psycho?

take my mermaid quiz boy

Are you 🫵 pissed off about the Lilo and Stitch monstrosity remake? Do you want to know how you can actually make a difference in supporting the people and ecosystems of Hawaii?

Tourism is a big issue in Hawaii (which the remake got rid of the original's commentary on because it makes foreigners look bad). I'm not gonna promote it, BUT I know that realistically, thousands of people arrive here every single day by the airplane-ful. And the majority of them aren't educated on the socio-cultural and economic impacts of tourism. SO, I'm making this post in an effort to educate visitors. If you or someone you know is visiting or moving to Hawaii (whether by circumstances in or out of your control), here are some suggestions on how you can give back!

You can donate to the Hawaii Community Foundation, which has been instrumental in giving aid to the displaced community of Lahaina after the Maui wildfires in 2023. They also provide scholarships to students of under-represented communities.

If you're interested in visiting Kualoa Ranch, you can do their Mālama Experience where you get your hands dirty giving back to the ‘āina (land)!

There are other organizations you can join to volunteer with, too, like Kupu and Mālama Maunalua. Check them out; maybe you can help with a beach cleanup or plant native trees! These are both non-profit organizations that accept monetary donations.

Visit the Bishop Museum to learn about Hawaiian history and culture! They also have events focused on sustainability and conservation.

If you're visiting Hilo on the Big Island, go visit the Laulima Nature Center! They're a non-profit aimed at protecting Hawaii's native species, and they even have an online store that ships to the US mainland and internationally! (After I post this, I'm gonna head on over and get myself a manu o Kū pin ♡)

A few other tips I have:

DO: Respect the locals' homes. Several beaches and hiking trails have access points in residential areas. Please be mindful to keep your voices down when passing by, and park ONLY in designated parking areas.

DO: Wear reef-safe sunscreen! Sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate are banned in Hawaii because they are known to damage coral reefs.

DON'T: Approach wildlife, particularly honu (sea turtles) and 'īlio holo i ka uaua (Hawaiian monk seals). Stay at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from turtles and at least 50 feet (15 meters) away from monk seals. If you see someone harassing animals, report them to the statewide NOAA Marine Wildlife Hotline: (888) 256-9840. You can also contact the Hawaii State Department of Land and Natural Resources.

DON'T: Collect sand, rocks, or other natural items to bring home with you. This is to protect the ecosystems and also out of respect for Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians), who have cultural beliefs regarding lava rocks in particular. Taking lava rocks is extremely disrespectful.

DON'T: Litter! Please throw away your waste in proper trash cans. If you see a bin that says "ʻōpala," that's a trash can!

Many Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) are moving to the US mainland because the cost of living in Hawaii has been driven up so high (because of people moving here), they can't afford to live in their ancestral home. So, if you are going to visit or move to Hawaii, please:

- Make the effort to support local businesses, especially those owned by Native Hawaiians!

- Educate yourself and your loved ones about actual Hawaiian culture!

- Try Hawaiian food, like poi!

- Learn some Hawaiian words and don't be afraid to ask how to pronounce words correctly!

- Donate to a food bank!

- Watch films and read books written by Native Hawaiians!

My hope is that whoever sees this post will use it to educate themselves, their friends, and their families who are considering visiting.

My background is in sustainability and the environment, so that's what I know to suggest off the top of my head. If any Kānaka Maoli read this post and have suggestions to add, please do!

there’s been a really bizarre trend in the past couple years of TERFS/radfems getting pissed off about biology posts. posts about the bilateral gyandromorph cardinal (one half male, one half female), posts about older hens beginning to crow and act like roosters, posts about animals being animals. and it’s hilarious because they interpret these posts as some kind of agenda. no! these are animals not choosing any gender identity or sexuality but being born into bodies they have no control over. weird how that happens in nature huh

the saga of the thing in my basement has been a wild ride

months ago we broke a window trying to break into our own house through the basement (long story) and at last something has managed to find the window and come in because we didn’t fix it yet (longer story)

something skittered behind me while doing laundry at 1 AM and oh look, a piss puddle on the stairs

“OHHHH MY GOD it’s trying to escape upstairs while I cook breakfast”

get a peek under the door and “oh my god this thing is almost certainly a giant raccoon”

I’ve been given rashes and by two separate plants and drenched in water trying to secure the broken window

“we’ve searched the basement and fixed the window so it must be gone”

find the fat fucking raccoon digging through trash on the porch, so it must have climbed out!

next day I keep hearing more and more noises again…

I peek through the laundry room window and finally see something climbing around. “JARED???”

and it’s actually our resident groundhog named Jared that got in and he’s still in there, and the raccoon was just a red herring
