zoomers i am going to give you some fathrly advice: really plucked brows are coming back. dont do it. you cn permanently fuck them up and in 5 yrs when its not on trend you will look like shit. a groomed natural brow works in every era of fashion theres lots of ways to comb and style brows to trend without mangling them. im just saying this as someone who saw what happened to 80s moms who went crazy wth the tweezers
they just eyebrows u won’t die shave them off zoomers pluck them all out and then get tattooed eyebrows it doesn’t matter . u won’t look like shit if u don’t have eyebrows op is a hater
this is the devil ^ this is the devil speaking. many will come to you with honey in their mouths and comforting words but they whisper falsehoods. do not be deceived for he is the father of lies. you have been told he would come in the form of man and he is already here among us.

On how a video game about fucking a bear interrupted furry discourse
People don’t realize the absolute comedy that just went through Furry social media.
See, feral smut (i.e. smut of four-legged characters who otherwise satisfy the Harkness test) has always been a contentious subject in the furry fandom, due to how easily it leads to unwarranted real-life accusations of zoophilia. It’s an annoying bit of discourse that has been rearing its head every other year since the modern fandom began four decades ago.
Which, you know, pretty rich, coming from the fandom where a pretty large percentage readily admit to having had some form of sexual awakening over the TLK and MLP:FiM franchises.
And anyway, that discourse was exactly what was going on last week. People getting harassed on Twitter, as an extension of the whole “groomer” moral panic. A lot of fandom relative newcomers parroting arguments right out of the Burned Furs movement (a late 1990s/early 2000s movement dedicated to “purifying” the furry fandom from “perversion” and “degeneracy”).
And then, just as the discourse was at its most heated, Baldur’s Gate 3 entered the chat.
Suddenly, everyone was talking about the game that will let you fuck a bear. Yes, a bear, as in Ursus arctos. A Druid shapeshifted into a bear, to be fair (again: the Harkness test), but a bear nonetheless.
And mainstream media erupted with reports that the game’s sales skyrocketed based on that scene alone.
And the discourse suddenly screeched to a hilariously embarrassed halt.
10/10 comedic timing, no notes.

Have any of you heard of the Harvard MIT Pigeon Prank?
An MIT student dressed in a black-and-white striped shirt went to the Harvard football stadium every day of one summer, blowing a whistle while scattering breadcrumbs or birdseed to coax neighborhood pigeons down onto the field. At Harvard’s opening game of the season, upon the referee’s first whistle, it’s said that hundreds of pigeons descended onto the field, causing a half-hour delay.
Ah yes, classical conditioning put to good use
if you’re like. 14 and trans on tumblr rn and getting ur first anon hate from terfs. word of advice. stop responding to that shit. theyre only gonna send more, it’s only gonna make you spiral even if you put on a strong face. report + block messages as soon as they come in, don’t let them sit in your inbox it’s gonna make you feel like shit. turn off anon for a few days, block anyone suspicious in your notes liberally for a little while. repeat as needed. don’t give them the time of day. it sucks, but like. i dont know any trans person on the internet with any following who hasn’t gotten some disgusting messages. just. be safe yknow
so many young teens feel the need to have a snappy comeback, to explain you could never be cishet bc you’re actually t4t!! or whatever but like. just. don’t say any of that. they love that shit, they eat it up. do what u can to bore them into stopping. and sometimes they dont stop, and that sucks too but like. you do not want to get in public arguments with people who can hurt you more than you think they can, its not cowardly to delete discourse posts and shit if you feel like you can’t handle the notifications anymore. like just. you may not be able to completly prevent this stuff but take a few steps if you can, it will at least lower your chances
just a reminder - do NOT boycott streaming services or not watch new things. the unions have not called for one for a reason. for one, it affects residual payments, which as minimal as those currently are, actors are still getting them during this time, and for two, studios will use lack of viewership as an excuse to cancel shows because you are showing them there is no demand. it deeply affects the industry the writers and actors stand to come back to once the strike is over
Also: going to these places puts pressure and demand on the company. Demand they can’t meet without actors and writers. That puts stress on them, and stress is good.
^^^^ive been looking for a rb with this addition because YES. if a customer wants a burger and there is no cook to make it, that puts pressure on the owner to pay the cook what they want so the customer will still give them money. if there is no customer, the owner has no reason for the cook to make burgers
Stop watching IF AND ONLY IF the unions call for a boycott. For the time being since they haven’t, streaming the shows actually helps. You’re not crossing a picket line to watch because that picket line does not exist unless a boycott is called for.
Be honest: Do you find long rambly tags annoying?
Every single post I make contains long rambly tags
No, they are a gift and I love to see what people are thinking about my posts
They’re sometimes really good, sometimes really annoying
They’re annoying, but it’s your blog so do what you want
They’re annoying - we don’t need to see your thoughts on every single thing!!
Secret extra nuanced answer???
CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it’s part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions
if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators (i am not a fan of marvel. burn disney to the ground)

‘Bout the same usable width, too. Those luxotruk beds tend to have big fat wheel hubs in them. Kei truck beds are completely flat.
how DARE you keep this in the tags!!!
Someone should go dig up that old post about different breeds of trucks, in the style of the usual tumblr pets (clowns, goths, etc) I’m thinking of the one where the truck on the left is called a European Pugnose or something and people are explaining how (contrary to appearance) the Shortnose types are actually very well adapted and can breathe. and it has a picture of an American big rig called, like, a Plains Longhorn or something indicating that it’s a healthy truck too.
Someone find that post and aim it threateningly at everyone who is thinking about the lemon demon song
I had to figure out why people were touching that post again, and it turns out YOU. I will add my tags from this post as well:
#absolutely #I have argued about variations in snout length being natural #but this actually IS poor breeding #and poor care as the second poster notes #because these trucks can’t (or at least ARE NOT) worked the way they should be for their size #due to poor breeding making them simply incapable of engaging in these natural behaviors #they often develop fatty deposits #mainly in the wheel hubs and underbelly and as you can see #behind the cab is the worst one #people claim ohhhh it’s extra seating or extra storage or whatever #no#it’s a massive fatty deposit from improper care #and not only that there’s almost CERTAINLY hybridization with vans in this sort of situation #don’t even get me started #I need to go clean something I can’t deal with poor truck husbandry today
