My contribution to the shitty eridians. Rosie (right) modeled after a rose rock, and their beautiful mate Bar Stool (left) modeled after the Kannesteinen in Norway. Roughly drawn human for scale.
I‘ll probably do more doodles of Rosie and Bar Stool when I’m not at work.

A HANDY CHART FOR THOSE OF YOU WONDERING WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THESE. NOTE THAT THESE ARE ALL THE INFORMAL AND YOU IS THE FORMAL SO LIKE YOU WOULD ALWAYS ADDRESS YOUR SUPERIOR/ OLDER PERSON/ SOCIAL BETTER WITH YOU BUT WITH YOUR BUDS YOU CAN USE THESE.
people who are gay: yeah i’m gay

people who are aroace: have you seen project hail mary
random PSA, I know a lot of people use duckduckgo as a Google alternative search engine, but it always kind of annoyed me when I was using it because it felt like No Name Brand Google
I have switched to using Startpage.com and vastly prefer it. for one thing, instead of displaying an "AI summary" at the top of the search results (unless you turn it off, yes I know), it displays the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, with link, whenever it finds one that's relevant.
also a waaayyyyy better sense of design than duckduckgo
also private, European based, least annoying search I've used lately (RIP old "don't be evil" Google)
Keeping a list of Google alternatives just in case…
i have one of those, scraped from multiple different rec posts:
Search Engines
Infinity Search is an alternative search engine with a special focus on privacy
DuckDuckGo is a popular search engine for those who value their privacy and are put off by the thought of their every query being tracked and logged. Uses bangs, ![site] for in-page search (sells your data to microsoft and draws from fucking bing)
WolframAlpha is a privately owned search engine that allows you to “compute expert-level answers using Wolfram’s breakthrough algorithms, knowledgebase, and AI technology.” A data search engine.
Boardreader is a search engine for forums and message boards. It allows you to search forums and then filter down results by date and language.
Based in France, Qwant is a privacy-based search engine that won’t record your searches or use your personal details for advertising. Uses “&” as a bang search.
Another privacy-based search engine is Search Encrypt, which uses local encryption to ensure that users’ identifiable information cannot be tracked. Metasearch across multiple engines.
Offering unbiased results from several sources, SearX is a metasearch engine that aims to present a free, decentralized view of the internet. Can be self-hosted.
Gibiru’s tagline is “Unfiltered private search” and that’s exactly what it offers. Requires AnonymoX Firefox add-on for privacy.
Disconnect allows you to conduct anonymous searches through a search engine of your choice.
Swisscows provides fully encrypted searches to protect your privacy and security. Built-in violence/porn filter cannot be overridden.
MetaGer offers “Privacy Protected Search & Find” through its anonymised search. A plugin will allow it to be made a default.
Gigablast is a private search engine that indexes millions of websites and servers real-time information without tracking your data, keeping you hidden from marketers and spammers. Variety of filtration and refinement options for searching.
Oscobo is a search engine that protects your privacy while you search the web. By not using any third-party tools or scripts, your data is protected from hacking and misuse. Has a Chrome extension to allow use in toolbar.
https://search.marginalia.nu/ an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed. Use old-school searching rather than query-based for the best results.
https://www.mojeek.com/
https://wiby.me/ - It’s goal is to index as many personalized websites as possible, and NOT commercial sites.
https://4get.ca/ it works a lot like SearX, but honestly better. It doesn’t have its own index, but pulls from many others. I think it’s the best for research, since it allows you to search for answers from different indexes, is easy to configure, add free, and avoids censorship as much as it can.
https://www.searchenginemap.com/ for more on how search engines relate to each other.
https://yep.com/ is a crawler
https://www.etools.ch/ retrieves from Google, Mojeek, Bing, and Yandex, like Searx
https://www.dogpile.com/
https://searxng.org/ (next gen Searx)
https://luxxle.com/ - possibly conservative?
https://presearch.com/ - good for academic?

idk if anyone else has seen the surge of memes making fun of cave divers recently. there was a comment on one that was like "cave divers with 4 kids, 2 degrees, a loving wife and a huge house when they learn that Satan's Sphincter has a 0% survival rate" it had me crying laughing
You'd think "oh, well they're rich dipshits with no training who pulled a Stockton Rush, IE: did something everyone told them not to and then died" but nope, 90% of cave diving stories are like "Johnny Wetsuit had 5000 hours diving experience, a doctorate in Cave Diveology from the most prestigious university in the world, was trained to swim by literal navy seals, was part dolphin and had the power of echo-location, God himself contacted him to let him know the conditions in Drowning Idiot Cave were going to be perfectly safe for cave diving, so he went Cave Diving, made one tiny mistake, and then he got stuck and drowned to death."
ok but there’s a reason cave diving signs go so hard
My brother used to do SCUBA stuff and apparently there's spots in places like Lake Tahoe where there's just bodies that haven't been recovered because the people that could go and get them know better than to go diving in the parts of the lake where the bodies are.
I feel like the ‘Satan’s Asshole Cave’ meme is a bit of a misnomer though because half of these places are named. Nutty Putty. Darby Canyon. Wookey Hole.
It’s more like; Loopty Doopty Cavern, where 18 out of 25 known explorers had to have their bodies dragged out over excruciating 28 hour long recovery missions

and out of the darkness - you you you you you
Fandom is so different now and it’s becoming un-fun with how quickly shit moves.
I just want to enjoy things. I don’t want to have to play a game of Artist-Race that seems to be afoot lately.
Ya’ll eat up fandoms, leave artists and writers bone dry and then move on so fucking quickly then fucking wonder where all the Good Fandom Stuff is.
Idk Maybe cherish some things for longer. Reblog stuff. Interact with people. Comment and share.
Fandom is Capitalism now and I’m not being nuanced.
people also seem obsessed with only Doing Fandom about currently active works?
“oh, I’m so sad that show ended! I really miss the fandom!” who said you have to leave, coward
Fun fact: You are part of keeping a fandom alive. Every interaction, every person in a fandom has their own part to play. If that’s reblogging art, fanfics or making cursed edits, that’s good enough.
Fandom is for community, not consumption.

A fandom remains alive for as long as fans keep expressing their love.
It’s up to us to keep it alive
Dr. Ryland Grace, the man that you are.
Teacher perpetually frustrated with parents, loser science lapdog to the most powerful woman on earth, man with priorities.
Just. Y'all know how hurtful it is to see your fellow aces act like acknowledging that you exist is problematic. And saying that no one is allowed to talk about sex favorable aces or say "some aces have sex" because of how allos react to and misuse it.
Ive seen people legit say "no one is allowed to write aces who fuck or talk about aces fucking until society is normal about aces who don't" and as a sex favorable ace that hurts. Why do I have to stifle my existence because allos can't be normal about me. How tf is that my fault. And yeah you can say "they mean allos not aces" but that's NOT how those posts are phrased. They're phrased like talking about sex favorable aces is a hate crime. Like people like me are hurting other aces by talking about ourselves. I never see sex favorable aces act like bringing up aces who don't have sex is bad, the only time we chime in is when we're being erased, and I always make sure to tell allos that most aces don't have sex or want to and you need to respect that.
(I cried when my fiancé told me he would still love me if I never ever wanted to have sex with him because I'm demi/grey-ace and I truly didn't know if I would ever want that. I know what it feels like to get pressured into sex and have people treat you like a freak for it. I know what it's like to force it and feel nothing and hate yourself for it. I gave up on dating because of people pressuring me into relationships and sex before I was ready. And yeah I ended up with a partner I have sex with, but that doesn't erase my struggles. It fucking sucks to see my community act like I'm hurting aces by talking about my existence when we clearly share so many hardships and deserve to have solidarity that actually includes all of us.)
Why can't y'all do the same. Why do we have to sit down and shut up because of the way allos weaponize us against other aces. As if that's our fault. This isn't how you get people to respect ace characters this is how you alienate a part of your community until they hate themselves.
The whole Aces don't have sex also misrepresents what asexuality is.
Asexuality and its spectrum is not about having vs not having sex. It is a sexuality and that has to sexual attraction.
I'm not a numbers/math person so like is there is using math via probability a higher likelihood that the people on the ace-spectrum have less sex or desire sex less than allosexuals, probably.
But that makes sense when we actually understand what asexuality and the ace-spectrum is. A sexuality that is on the opposite side of the sexuality spectrum of all the various sexualities that fall under allosexual. It is has to do with lack of sexual attraction and variations to that.
Lack of sexual attraction does not come with a caveat that says oh by the way you can never ever has sex.
No.
Rather we have sexuality and within it a spectrum for people who don't experience sexual attraction one way or another.
How much sex or how little sex you choose to have is your business and doesn't have to do with your sexuality. If you have a high, low, regular, or no libido can play a role in how you may choose identify or what label you feel fits you best in regards any sexuality and that is it. It doesn't qualify or disqualify from being ace or the ace-spectrum.
The act of having of sex and even enjoying having sex should not be what is playing a role in determining sexuality.
If a straight couple does anal that wouldn't suddenly make the male partner gay or if a straight couple did pegging would that suddenly make either of them gay? No, right that is ridiculous.
So why is that for acesexuality and the ace-spectrum that having sex and even enjoying sex can be seen a dis-qualifier.
It is about sexual attraction. And in the case of acesexuality and the ace-spectrum lack of said sexual attraction. So what does sex have to do with sexual attraction. Because I'm sure that there are plenty of allosexual people who have had sex with people that they have felt no to little sexual attraction to. So we understand that people can have sex with others they are not sexual attracted to because [variety reasons here].
So why is so hard to understand that people who don't experience sexual attraction and variations of that might want to have sex too.
I get the importance of the transfem community warnings but sometimes I see shit like girls talking other girls out of trying to get their teaching certificates because of the potential for harassment from conservative parents and idk that's very real but also at a certain point we are just doing preemptive hiring discrimination to ourselves
Like on the one hand it is very real that societal transphobia would like to see us all unemployed, forced to do survival sex work. But also that's not the only reality available to us at this point! And sometimes I worry that we are self policing in a way by flooding so many trans girls with this message of "your only options are to get super good at onlyfans or be Raytheon's strongest coder" when like, so many of the women I know are teachers, home care workers, nannies, day care workers, postal workers. Not glamorous, but like, idk the world of lower middle class pink collar jobs is available to us more or less at this point. Other girls have office jobs, some girls have to work food service and retail. But we get to exist in some form besides either NEETs or internet famous porn girls. And obvi hiring discrimination is real, and obvi disability issues come into play for a lot of us that makes a lot of the work I just mentioned inaccessible. I'm not saying things are sweet out there. But there is a world out there where you can live. Maybe not in the exact way you want, maybe not super easily, but you can live.

It is not the prettiest but here is a little chart I made of skin tones.
The idea is to eye-drop anywhere on the chart to get a unique skin tone instead of getting stuck in the loop of “white, tan, dark”.
USEFUL.

I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.
And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.
So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.
The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.
Thank God someone bothered to check.

well you see,
You are trying to move into an apartment with your favorite Pokemon. The building is strict about which Pokemon are allowed inside but it’s super affordable. How hard do you think it will be to convince the landlord to let you keep it in the building?
Easy as can be, perfect apartment dweller
Might take some convincing
Basically a coin flip
It will be an uphill battle but I might be able to, while saying goodbye to my deposit
No increased rent, deposit or argument could convince any landlord to let us in

Reblog the 500,000 dollar written check from Seto Kaiba and money will come your way.
Might as well.
nothing to lose.
If only there were some sort of facility where teenagers could be taught new skills.
Anyway, here's a helpful diagram. When I was hit on the temple this was one of the harder things I had to reteach myself. Don't be shamed into not asking questions, and it's alright if it takes you a while to figure it out. Don't let someone make you feel bad for learning new things, or relearning old ones.
Sometimes, unfortunately, you have to teach yourself. YouTube is a valid option.
yeah okay ill reblog that :]
If you don't know...here it is.
