RoseMaybe's Random Ramblings

Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”

ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m

can we have some context to this, perhaps?

There are a lot of interesting things about this post but the AK-47 shaped spear is what really got me

This is just as wild with the context

This post blew my mind, and I just checked these out from the library! I’m so excited to read them.

Truly thrilled to finally find this post on my dash.

I’ve reblogged her before, but really, you can’t have too many dark-skinned Black queens on your dash. 

when people defend the “Cis white guy is default” thing like “He’s meant to be an everyman we can all relate to and project on!” kindly remind them the largest ethnic group in the WORLD is Han Chinese and the highest gender percentage fluctuates so if you want an ACTUAL  “default” you want a 40 year old chinese person whose gender changes from year to year.

“The children are using this vast, incomprehensible magical network to mock that damned Ea-Nasir and his terrible copper. Good.”

i love to think about how my ipad holds vastly more knowledge than was available to sumerians in 2000 bce, but if one of them saw me scribble away on it with my stylus, they would know what it is! from 4000 years across history, they would recognize this object if they saw me use it! and maybe they’d say ‘you know, we use something like this where i’m from’. and i’d say ‘i know. in school we learn that you invented them.’ and in a weird, convoluted, wonderful and very comforting sense, they invented my ipad too.

…Oh.

I'm also like begging every perisex person on here to remember intersex people exist. If you're talking about people with a specific sex characteristic please just say "people with [specific sex characteristic]". Nothing makes you look stupider than saying "afabs" when you mean "people with uteruses" or saying "men and pre-op transfems" when you mean "people with testes". There is already a vested social interest in oppressing intersex people please do not contribute to making them invisible.

Science side of tumblr here. Yes. Fiber is good, and it will reduce your chances of getting colorectal cancer. It's probably the single most important thing for you to eat and you probably aren't getting enough of it, BUT, a deficit of fiber is likely not the cause of the colorectal cancer rates rising. A stool scientist has discovered that there is bacteria-caused scarring present in a large amount of the people who have contracted colorectal cancers at a young age. By testing the chemical causing this scarring we can get a good lock on what kind of bacteria it is, and also testing the scar tissue, we can see the age of exposure. They have found it to be a type of e-coli bacteria that made it's rounds when these people were very young, like 1-2 years old. It is not something we can solve now, but likely was a bug that went around infecting people around 40 years ago and likely is still around. We don't quite know yet, but this is the data we have. Still eat fiber though. It's probably the best thing you can do for your gut microbiome, and your gut microbiome is actually a huge part of your physical AND MENTAL health.

Someone sent me anon hate then reported every single one of my posts because of this post

What a time to be alive.

I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it

Everything about this post blesses those involved with a +4 on their next Today is Good Day roll

Happy Ulf Hath Slain A Dragon With His Spear!

10 years!!

for the record im not technially 100% anti-AI, in the sense that its a broad category of tech being lumped under one umbrella term so it feels over-zealous to say i hate all of it all the time forever. but i also think trying to discuss what it actually IS good for is difficult right now when i cant take one step without something trying to convince me to use chatgpt to summarize my life and speed up my hobbies and turn my friends into chatbots and optimize my life into oblivion. i am certain there is nuance to the topic but can we stop cramming the square peg into the round hole before you start trying to sell me on the legitimate benefits of the square peg. please.

I know, intellectually, that modern american christianity has absolutely nothing to do with the ideal concept of the church - but there is quite literally something in the bible about not doing this. Like this exact precise thing. This is an idol that is detracting worship from the lord.

wouldn't it be so cool if we built the golden calf from famous bible story "Don't Build The Golden Calf"

If it helps, this has been the last straw for a LOT of Christian people who supported them. And understandably so, I might add.

As an ex-Christian, this is just about the most blasphemous thing I’ve ever seen.

disabled people who do not directly "contribute" to society and need large amounts of care and resources to survive deserve not only to survive but to have comfort, stability, and fun within their lives while they do. no compromises.

There are gonna be people who won't like hearing this but if you want to live in a world where mixed marriages, families, and adoptions (particularly POC adopting outside their "race") aren't maligned and discriminated against, then you have got to get more chill about seeing someone partaking in something cultural that you don't think fits the "race" you perceive them as.
