Please eat my banana bread I made it myself

Natural disasters! I never see anyone talk about that one and as a result I spent years thinking that watching my hometown get destroyed on the news and subsequently having to uproot my entire life at the age of seven wasn't Real Trauma because there was no Abuser™

something in art that ppl think is really stupid that i will always support is when they give a character a tail for no reason.. that shits awesome

in case folk outside the UK aren't abreast of our news, the British press just hounded a black academic to death

Was trying to make a joke about TV writing to my friend the other day and had to pause and go "...does the phrase 'surf dracula' mean anything to you?"

image description: tweet by @/topherflorence, reading: back in the day if u did a tv show called surf dracula you'd see that fool surfing every week in new adventures but in the streaming era the entire 1st season gotta be a long ass flashback to how he got the surfboard until you finally get to see him surf for 5 min in the finale /end description

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

[ID: tweet by pretty queer @/theafronerd saying, "78 years ago today, on Dec 1st 1944, hundreds of African soldiers who helped defeat the nazis were shot to death by the French army because they rightfully asked for their salary." There are two black-and-white historical photos of the said African soldiers attached to the tweet. It was posted at 1pm, Dec 1st 2022. /End ID]

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.

I am a young child, but my body is far weaker than my age. Severe anemia is mercilessly tormenting me, turning my days and nights into unbearable agony.

The pain tears at every vein and every joint in my body. I cannot sleep, nor can I find a single moment of rest. I scream and cry inside from the intensity of the pain. Dizziness makes it difficult for me to move, and vomiting has ravaged my stomach, leaving me weak and frail. I am afraid... I am terrified of de@th, which draws ever closer.

My condition is deteriorating rapidly and becoming increasingly critical. I cannot afford the medicine that would extinguish this fire in my body, nor can I afford the food that would sustain what little remains of me. I am withering away, on the verge of de@th, because I cannot obtain the medicine and food that could save me. I beg you, with every drop of blood and every tear I shed each night, to h@lp me by d0nating blood. Do not abandon me and leave me to face this pain alone. Your d0nation and urgent assistance are the only lifeline that could bring me back to life.

Guys, I'm crying from the pain. My stomach feels like it's being ripped apart from vomiting because I haven't eaten anything since yesterday, and my head is about to explode from the headache and dizziness. To make matters worse, the d0nations are so low they're not enough to buy even a little food. I need your heIp to d0nate so I can buy medicine and food to ease my pain. Please d0nate. please don't let me die a slow de@th.

RPG where it's very easy to overcome all of the bosses nonviolently through correct dialogue choices, but actually doing so locks you into the bad ending; in order to get the good ending, you need to do a bunch of obtuse side quests in order to goad them into fighting you.

Ugh who closed last night, twisted amalgamations of flesh and fur are everywhere 😑 🧹
