So
This is Quebecois. This is how you write in French Canadian. Sounds over words.
That is how I know the voynich is Galician Portuguese. This is my daily. No doubt that it has imprinted on me.
how to fucking flag pedophiles
call me the fucking ~internet police~ BUT I DIDN’T KNOW UNTIL TODAY THAT THERE’S LITERALLY A COMMUNITY OF “PEDOPHILE POSITIVITY” ON THIS HELLSITE
THERE ARE PEOPLE OPENLY ADMITTING THAT THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO CHILDREN/CONSUMING CHILD PORN ON THIS WEBSITE!?!??! THERE’S 13 YEAR OLDS ON HERE!!!
so my dudes, how to flag “maps” (minor attracted people aka pedophiles)
1. click “flag this blog”
2. click “this violates tumblr’s community guildlines”
3. click “someone is at risk of harm”
4. click “harm to minors”
5. type “pedophile” in the box
THIS IS GOOD AND ALL BUT PLEASE IF THEY HAVE ACTUAL CP PLEASE REPORT IT TO FBI TIPS,
If it’s clear they have broken laws (they post/talk about using child porn, admit to things they’ve done with minors, etc), go fill out a form here ( https://tips.fbi.gov ) to make the FBI aware and bring this filth to justice. Every single one. And if there’s no proof of criminal offense, then go on and flag them, at least then they aren’t here to prey on children on the internet.
Hi guys I recently had a run in with a pedophile who was posting child pornography, please don’t call the police there’s not a whole lot they can do in situations of tracking unless it’s in your home state! And they don’t have a department that deals with blogs.
Instead call 1-800-843-5678 or fill out a form for cybertipline.com , they reach out within the same day and deal with these assholes all the time. They will contact you if they need more assistance or if they’ve resolved it! The police department redirected me to the hotline and will do so in every situation unless it’s local. Stay safe!
WHAT THE FUCK EW????????
REBLOG TO WRECK A PEDOPHILE
yes, please report to the fbi or the other place mentioned. tumblr will only delete the blog and all of the evidence.
Also use IWF (Internet Watch Foundation/ iwf.org.uk) for mentioned imagery, especially if in the UK. You can even report anonymously.
hey y’all, remember this. report if you see it.
this is so goddamn gross. saving this for if i stumble across one of these disgusting fucks.
@8lur5ot0ng was if you who tagged me in a pedophile outting post?
Voynich Manuscript: Gemini's pattern recognition.
Under the cut, is the second page of the Voynich Manuscript, I know everyone who ever tries it says that it is either impossible or it is like Hebrew or something. I am building a lot of confidence, because I truly believe that the author of the 'script was functionally illiterate using phonetics instead of an alphabet. Add me to the list of people who think they broke it. Test my methods, and tell me I am wrong. I need it.
Voynich Manuscript: my community to keep track of my evolution, and to have a paper trail incase someone steals my idea, and also breaks it. So by having a tumblr I can dump my thoughts into about the script. If comes down to it, I sent an e-mail to yale already, and Kathy Riechs, when I first broke it. It is probably in their trash, but it is there.
This is free advice from an expensive psychologist.
If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.

Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.
Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.
As a child, I was at my school's library so much that they made me a volunteer and I could repair as many broken books as I wanted. I remember reading Amelia Atwater Rhodes, every book of hers I could get my hands on. I had her entire collection. I read watership down, the fern book (where the red fern grows), the trumpeter swan, Charlotte's Web, all of Anne Rice. These are all chapter books.
As a teen, I was reading young adult books.
As an adult, I am reading young adult books, but I have found non-fiction to be a nice break from all the heartache and betrayal and sexual situations that no one finds themselves in. As a teen, I was writing 10k words a day on GaiaOnline, I won a few awards on poetry and short story sites when I was 14-17. As an adult, I am finding the groove again.
My mother's reasoning that Narnia isn't a child's book is because it is an allegory of religion, and being 4-10 we shouldn't be introduced to religion as a story, since we lacked the cognitive ability to choose God. My mother said at the time, that she didn't want to indoctrinate us only to be rejected for who we are later down the road. She didn't want that kind of community helping her raise her kids. She got married because of religion, she had children because of religion, and she didn't want specifically me to grow up being taught women are supposed to be subservient and co-dependant. So she stopped reading Narnia to us at bed time when she came upon that realisation, but on my own terms I finished the series. It was a few years later, but read the series, and while I didn't pick up on the God allegory, I found it a good read, good story, good characters. But not a series I would return to.
Hell I had to have been 9-12 when I was introduced to the mandelbrot theorem.
At 13 I learned how to use command prompt to access my family's computer, and access the internet and programs and on screen keyboard.
Kids will read, and be smart, and absorb information if it is engaging to them. The size of the book doesn't scare them. Being judged scares them. Being called names scares them. Being ostracized scares them. But a 300+ word book, about a dragon, and gold, and a boys adventure?
Or vampires, fitting in, and accepting yourself? Shapeshifters finding responsibility overwhelming, and an arranged marriage, where both fight to be known as independent? A mercenary woman, saved by royalty to serve the king as an assassin? Traveling to different lands to understand how to control yourself/power?
I would probably read the Throne of Glass to a child. That way they don't expect mated/fated love, and soul mates. Well they probably would be introduced to that concept because of the fiction I do enjoy to read, but if I had to choose a series to read to a young girl, it would be Throne of Glass, maybe Crescent City, The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice,
I got off topic again. Thank you so much for reading.
I asked Gemini to enhance an image
The left is what it gave me, the right is the original.
That top left paragraph is a hallucination. And the red flag I noticed right away was that there was the letter f. Not the flourished I, but instead a word inside that paragraph.
This is how Gemini was giving me a reason to fear another psychosis

English Translation
“In giving some things, and indeed the whole, my Lady; I give you this, if you indeed see fit to take this unto yourself. Is it in you, my Lady—the one, and which one in? In giving them, in having me, seeing you less... in all of it and myself, is it yours? Does he not have it, or do I?To you, and to you, and to him, mine of a... you, he, of your things, to them, your things... more today in all. In there to have to see them, I have you... which is yours, I have in this."
"The customer is always right"
wrong: The customer is literally always correct, in factual matters, and cannot be disputed. correct: The customer is always right in matters of taste. If they're here to spend money and want to buy the ugliest thing you've ever seen, you must not argue them about it. correctest: In every person there are two souls locked in eternal combat - one is the disciplined, good-willed, and financially responsible one, and the other one is The Customer, who will always yearn to buy some stupid shit. Your job is to side with The Customer, and do your best Emperor Palpatine "do it" to persuade them.
Where was this when I was working retail?!
It just isn't in me to whisper “do it” to someone's shopping greminlin... I am disillusioned with retail, and I can't sell someone something that is long term disposable. Food sure, I can cook for months on end, but serving, ick.

We all agree, right?
AI to write your novel is wrong
A bargain with a demon to write your novel is okay
Only if you specify in the contract that the demon can't use chat-GPT
I've been thinking about this - and why asking the demon is also a bad idea
Tartini was a composer and violin teacher and no one respected him, he was generally broke, and he started having weird dreams in which the devil asked him to teach him violin
despite being catholic tartini agreed - although everything told him this was a bad idea
so he taught the devil violin in his dreams and when he had taught him everything he knew the devil offered him payment, he played an original composition in his dream
Tartini woke up weeping and struggled to write it down
we have a historical version of "couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, this is just its tribute", and the song he wrote down made him "Sonata in G Minor, aka the devil's trill" it's usually played by 2 violinists because it's evil difficult,
now imagine you make a deal with the devil to write your novel, he writes it but only lets you read it in a dream and you have to transcribe it from memory the next day.... 150k of the best prose and plot you've ever seen in your life and you have to remember it
chatgpt is evil, but that's just mean
This brings a whole new element to my understanding of Devil Went Down to Georgia
To be fair to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, if I wrote some pulp short stories for a quick buck and an obsessive fandom sprung up around it at a time when fandom culture as we now know it didn't really exist yet, and I had to witness people being insane about my characters while having very little precedent for what the fuck was going on, I would also be confused and frightened and desperately trying to escape from the situation I'd ended up in.
Learned helplessness looks like a 45 year old woman who can't use a computer to sign into her account to find her lost phone.
Yknow the thing where red pandas just lay down on a branch and let their legs hang and they’re just like vibing
they’re just vibing yknow?
porcupines do this too :)
i have excellent news about the manul cat
Manul cat is an automatic reblog from me.
I am porcupine.
Pretty much most cats that spend any time in trees, tbh
Honestly tho, in terms of lazy chill I don’t think anyone’s gonna beat this bear:
look at this squirrel

And let’s not forget the time an entire pride of ten lions decided to take a nap in a single tree
Yes these photos are real
>Manul cat is an automatic reblog from me. I can’t make it an automatic reblog, myself. It has to be done manul-aly.
I never work well in places that can't stand lateness.
I grew up where my mom was allowed to be late as long as she worked the extra time, my first job at 15 was in a kitchen, McDonald's actually, before I was 24 I was a kitchen manager of a restaurant called St. Louis. Those who were volunteers in the army, would be on my ass about being on time, but those in managerial positions didn't mind too much, because I would work those extra 15 minutes. I would be on call and was capable of covering both servers and kitchen's responsibilities. Once I was at work, I was at work. Nothing but a new relationship could distract me from my responsibilities.
Then I tried retail, they were sticklers for being on time. There was no room to negotiate, and my last manager compared my mental health struggles to those she had worked with for years, and said if they could do it, I should be able to as well. Luckily I was psychotic, and screaming on my phone until my face turned blue thinking that there were demons trying to kill me. Even with my psychosis on full display I was expected to be like a neurotypical, everyone there was neurotypical.
What do you think was easier for me, an entire summer working 60-80 hour weeks with 3-4 days off in between, or working 15 weeks of 35 hours, and no schedule. So that would mean I would average a day off every 3.7 days. Some weeks I would work 5 days on and have tuesday and sunday off, then the next week i would work monday - thursday, have friday off, work saturday and sunday, have tuesday off, have thursday off, have the following monday off, the following friday, the following tuesday. I had a psychotic break doing that.
I answered my own question.
When I am in a management position, it doesn't matter what time the task is started, as long as it matches the quality of expectation, and meets the deadline. An example of that in a kitchen, is when all the baked potatoes we made at 3pm have been used, and it is now 7pm and we need only 25 more potatoes for the dinner rush. We put 20 in the oven and wait 45 minutes, and 5 in the microwave and wait 10 minutes. Those 5 in the microwave, are served and no one can even tell the difference, or if they can they don't complain. But if by the next friday, you are low on potatoes again, you have not anticipated the needs of the clients appropriately, and that is a failure. Once a month, should you run out of the necessities, maximum, and never the same products twice.

This is for new foragers, like my coworker:
'Medicinal' does NOT mean 'good for you and safe to eat all the time'. A plant being 'medicinal' does NOT mean that eating it, without any idea of WHY and HOW it's considered medicinal, is a good idea. It is UNWISE to consume a plant that has a long history of use in a way that DOES NOT have a long history of use.
In addition to learning that a plant is edible, you need to learn how it is eaten, what part is eaten, when it's harvested, and how to harvest it sustainably and in a way that supports its continued existence (unless it's invasive). If people only eat the ripe berries as food, then don't eat unripe berries. Don't. Eat. Unripe. Berries. UNLESS! There's! precedent! For that plant!
I know there's this idea going around that Americans only eat sweet or salty things, and that we've eliminated bitter things from our diet, and we should thus be eating more bitter things. But! Bitter things are bitter for a reason, and sometimes that reason is poison! Some of them are medicinally useful at the correct dose, but! You need to know what that is! You need to be doing it on purpose! DO NOT! Assume that bitter means that it's good for you!
I didn't know that I didn't know.
This used to happen to me all the time, until I started making these mistakes with confidence, then things changed for me.
Do what you believe, what you understood to be right with confidence, and the flack is always less.
