The Weeping Angels are really scary until you realize if any organism sees them they are fucked so they get hard countered by geckos, who don’t blink and can see in the dark. If the Doctor strapped like two geckos onto him he’d be fine.
tumblr in a nutshell is really just “welcome to my crawl space let me tell you about my favorite characters and my childhood trauma look at these pretty pictures” and it’s still the most functional social media somehow
It is the most functional because you have full control of what comes across your dash - to the extent you get anything bad, it’s because someone you are following made a bad decision.
How big are those chickens if their arms are square and the size as a ham hock??? What cruel god or perhaps scientist gave them arms to begin with?? We should be thanking this ad for telling us not to buy this meat, the animals it’s from have something terribly, terribly wrong with them!
can we please talk about how the person who made this apparently lives in a world in which “turkey leg” and “chicken breast” are not in fact common terms
All chicken identified as either ‘whole’ or by specific parts.
Ditto for turkeys.
Cows and pigs may be identified in ways that people may not understand - chops, briskets, ground, etc.
But this thing misidentifies the cow and hog parts.
To summarize what KOSA is, It is essentially a censorship bill that if passed would force online platforms to self censor and target anything that the government considers not safe for children, which would target sexual health information, LGTBQ+ resources, and other pieces of info that the government don’t like.
Senator Blumenthal is trying to push KOSA again. This time, he is bringing Blackburn and meeting with House Republican leadership to try to convince them to support it THIS WEEK. This is VERY bad since House GOP leadership is the reason this bill hasn’t moved forward so far. We NEED to blow up those phones of those members all week and make sure this is the poison pill it is.
Please, leave voicemails to HOUSE GOP leadership today, and call them this upcoming week. Their phone numbers are here as well as the call script. Spread this EVERYWHERE. I do not know which day specifically they are meeting.
P.S. make sure you are using the correct script for republicans when calling them! It’s all in the call script
I stg people on tumblr have no concept that anyone exists in a financial situation that isn’t “paycheck to paycheck american poor” or “literally elon musk.” like first of all there’s people in the world living on less than $2 a day. second of all there’s people in the world making $300,000 a year and have a house and go on vacations and are comfy and fine without exploiting the labor of millions and creating a vastly worst planet for all of us. there are people who have their mortgage set to autopay and never worry about it. there’s also people to whom your lifestyle as a tumblrina is a fantasy. you have nothing to be ashamed of and neither do the moderately rich. just because someone doesn’t worry about making ends meet doesn’t mean they’re automatically head-chop worthy in the socialist revolution!! ffs get some goddamn perspective and realize economic status is still a spectrum.
Real median household income was $80,610 in 2023. That’s not super comfy but it is above the ‘1 inch from apocalypse’ level unless you have a lot of kids.
Potentially VERY big missing episode news from Film is Fabulous.
We have confirmation that they are aware of several missing episodes of Doctor Who in private hands and that they are actively talking to these collectors. This is more or less a promise of an upcoming recovery announcement, assuming they can pull off the negotiations.
all STEM students should have to take humanities courses, and all humanities students should have to take STEM courses
@caesarsaladinn I had a whole discussion with a history major who was extremely confident that smallpox is a “common childhood illness” with a very low death rate. Therefore, she believed that historical smallpox outbreaks were either massively exaggerated or used as a cover-up for something else (since “smallpox isn’t that bad.”) I eventually asked if she was possibly confusing smallpox with chickenpox, at which point she said, “aren’t they the same thing?”
The English language really whiffed on that one. Should have called it largepox or at least regularsizepox.
Although the courses included in the Texas Core Curriculum (TCC) may vary by institution, every Texas higher education institution’s core curriculum must include the following Foundational Component Areas and semester credit hours:
Code Component Area Required Credit Hours
10 Communication 6
20 Mathematics 3
30 Life & Physical Sciences 6
40 Language, Philosophy, & Culture 3
50 Creative Arts 3
60 American History 6
70 Government/Political Sciences 6
80 Social/Behavioral Sciences 3
90 Component Area Option 6
The Component Area Option (CAO), also known as the Institutionally Designated Option, address exemplary educational objectives not covered in the preceding broad discipline categories. Such courses may include computer literacy, kinesiology, health/wellness, interdisciplinary or linked courses, or other courses that address a specific institutional role and mission.
This is what Texas requires. In fact, every state requires you take some science and some humanities.
But most people quickly forget anything not connected to their future career.
A snippet of wisdom from a conversation I was having on another site:
Hey, the fact that I can just mention Victor Hugo a hundred and forty years after his death and everyone recognises not only who he is but how interested he was in sewers suggests to me he must have been doing something right.
being an archaeologist in tumblr is so funny because I see so many text posts and go. Imperialism pre-dates capitalism. Rebellion against empires pre-dates capitalism. Money pre-dates capitalism. Social inequality pre-dates capitalism. Misogyny pre-dates capitalism. Wealth inequality pre-dates capitalism. Unilateral rule by oppressive rulers pre-dates capitalism. People’s dependence on their job for their survival pre-dates capitalism. Capitalism as an economic system is about 200-250 years old max but these problems are much, much older, and capitalism supports, entrenches, or exacerbates many of these problems… doesn’t mean it invented them and doesn’t mean they will simply cease to be problems After Capitalism.
