thinking about a long article I read a while back talking about the history of “ultra-processed foods” and how they related to american/western health issues. my main takeaway was a short paragraph buried in the middle of the article, where the guy who came up with the term just says outright “technically by these processing metrics tofu and sourdough fall into the same category as doritos and we’re not really sure how to square that circle” and the article just. moves right past that.

WAIT. there’s TWO important things that are happening on june 5th. you know what this has to mean
[ID from alt: screenshots of the Deltarune release date, which is June 5th, and of the Aromantic Visibility Day date, which is also June 5th. Below is an edit of the “Sasuke Has Become Catholic” meme that now reads: “Deltarune Has Become Aromantic,” with a picture of Kris in front of the aro flag, making a peace sign. End ID.]
[ID from alt: reply from @strawberryamanita reading: “It’s also the day Reagan died! :D (smile emoticon)”, and Wikipedia text reading: “Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004).” End ID.]
deltarune is about to share a birthday with Every Aromantic Person, AND with history’s most important gender-neutral bathroom
im sure someone already made a post about it but i came across a ublock origin add-on that blacklists around 950 AI websites and disables AI overview ☝️ so u can be free from seeing AI in your search
Your irregular reminder that you should have ublock origin installed for a significantly better internet experience. advertisers have tried to make it as shitty as possible; fight back! Give yourself an online experience worth enjoying!
This powerful image captures the face of a wounded Palestinian woman whose hijab is soaked in blood—likely her own or that of a loved one. Her eyes tell a story of unimaginable pain and strength in the face of loss. She stands in a chaotic hospital hallway, surrounded by others in distress. As an oppressed and weak woman from Gaza, I see myself in her. I, too, have suffered greatly—my baby, Qais, was injured in the war, and the hospital refused to treat him because we cannot pay. Please, I beg you to help us. Your donation can provide the medicine and care Qais urgently needs.
Life in Gaza is unbearable for women like me.
1. I wait in line for two hours just to bring food back to our tent – food that is never enough.
2. I clean the shoes of strangers on the street– just to earn a few coins for Qais’s medicine.
3. We were turned away from the hospital– they said no money, no treatment, even for a child as young as Qais.
I carry this pain in silence, but I cannot bear it alone anymore. The woman in this picture used her hijab to try and save her son’s life. I am doing everything I can to save mine. But without help, I fear I will lose him too. Please, Donate anything you can—no matter how small. Even a few dollars could mean a meal, a medicine dose, or a chance for Qais to live. Share this, speak up, and help us survive.
If I told you that I am willing to dust your shoes in exchange for a donation to treat my child Qais, would you donate to him?
Yes, I will donate 😭💔
Yes, I will Reblo😭💔
Please stop ✋🚨 you’re the only hope to save a child😔😭

Man, I almost drank myself to death yesterday, I can’t even remember my name, if only there was someone that could help me.

Yep, I’m on the side of these superb piggies. This is play stupid games, win stupid prizes territory.
Native wild animals engaging in natural animal behaviors?!?! I’m shocked!

She’s an eco-vengeance iconoclast who loves coyote pee and running at manic speeds. She’s an unstoppable chaos queen with a stink-nipple on her butt, who turns luxury Arizona golf courses into free range charcuterie boards for her grub-worm girl dinner. She’s a guerilla class-warfare legend whose mating call sounds like the hissing warb-garble of a cappuccino machine milk-steamer.
She’s the internet’s most beloved trash-eating ungulate — the uncompromising, the indefatigable, the lovely javelina.
You love to see it.
okay but if you ever see a male creative who had a string of great work and then everything else he did was dogshit, go to the “personal life” part of his wikipedia and look at his relationships. you’ll either find a major tragedy he didn’t recover from (completely understandable) or, more likely, there was a woman in his life doing uncredited shit editing his stuff or contributing generally and she’s not there anymore.
I told a friend about this phenomenon in literature and he called me weeks later like, I remembered what you said about women doing uncredited work when tim burton came up. he made a string of bangers then everything else just was nowhere near as good. the timeline matches perfectly to when he was with this german visual artist (lena gieseke). he’s done some good work in collaboration, but if things were dug into I suspect we would find she did a lot more than people realise.
so yeah whenever you look around like wow women didn’t work in history, or, women aren’t auteurs, or, there just aren’t as many great female writers - societal reasons for that aside, half the time they absolutely did.
Hell yeah
I for one welcome our transvestite overlords fuck yeah
