In Fallout 4, the sound of power generators can cause unhappiness if they’re too close to people. These little ingrates, who would be wallowing in radioactive filth if not for me, are unhappy with the infinite electricity machines I built from raw garbage because of the noise they make. Fuck these little assholes, go die someplace where your precious ears won’t be perturbed by the sound of my miracles.
It’s so weird to see people actually accepting the “corporations are people” thing.
Like people saying things like “Pepsi feels bad and apologized”. Pepsi doesn’t “feel” anything, it’s an organization that attempts to make money by selling a product of the same name.
And the Denny’s-style blogs and twitter outlets where “Wendy’s” has a “sassy personality” and picks fights with the other fast food twitters serve to further this illusion. This whole act is being projected by an entire marketing team whose job is to make you think nice thoughts about the product so you’ll buy more.
They aren’t real. It’s all illusion and it’s leading people to think that they are hurting real people when they criticize or resist corporate action.
Arguments for why your should base your reptilian dragons off of crocodilians rather than lizards:
Look at that armored hide. IRL you’d have trouble putting a spear through that, no wonder the magic ones need diety-blessed swords and sige weapons to manage them.
Hork down obscene amounts of meat, then nap for over half a year.
TEEF
Look at those eyes, those eyes are totally deciding whether you’re worth the effort of consuming. So Draconic.
Comes in magical white morph IRL already, and regular colors are Baller too.
Is this animal somehow not cool and terrifying enough for you already? Go look up crocodile ancestors and prepare to shit yourself, pathetic hairless beach ape.
Many crocodilians already dig burrows and take over caves near water. Would totally move into Erebor if given half a chance.
i feel so dumb when i get done watching a movie and am like “hm ! i had lots of fun watching that ! i liked it!!” and then curiously check the ratings of the movie i just watched and the reviews are all like “abomination of a movie. horrible mess. worst thing i have EVER seen. spits on the face of ALL cinema.”
Gymnastics has come a long compared to that old footage, but this difference is particularly significant for black girls! Because they have never taken seriously our abilities! Just because the color of our skin is not what they want to see!
Simone Biles’s fantastic performance has been covered by many news outlets all these years! Now we can see the real difference!

It’s like a metaphor of what millenials have to do to get jobs vs baby boomers lol
I was debating whether to reblog but that last comment did it for me
i just feel like if a job pays less than $15/hr… they shouldn’t ask for experience.
like if im going to get a minimum wage job, im going to do the bare minimum.
i just don’t understand how we’re “all an important part of the company” and the pay gap is so big
Also if I’m being paid minimum wage, don’t expect me to be passionate about whatever it is you want me to do.
minimum wage = minimum effort
And minimum commitment. Give me a reason to be loyal. Ducking pay me
Peak capitalism expects maximum effort and maximum commitment for minimum pay and minimum loyalty.
When the employer’s attitude is ‘you’re replaceable’ then the employee attitude is ‘this is just a temporary job’
I’m always seeing articles in HR industry publications and stuff that bemoan the “erosion of employee loyalty” and how employees are so willing to jump ship if someone offers them a few more bucks and like…yeah…because y’all made it super clear that we’re all replaceable cogs in the corporate machine, if you’ve got no loyalty toward your employees, what kind of brass balls do y’all have that you expect them to still be loyal to you anyway? This is a two way street, fuckers.
Boris Groh is one of my favorite artists, mostly because of his works that feature LARGE skeletons just doing their thing
This is by far my most successful post on tumblr and I am really fucking glad because my main man Boris deserves to be recognized for his work. Even if its mostly getting passed around in the form of memes about cheese.
This is my friend TJ, wearing a costume she made for Halloween, 1977. She was 16 at the time.
Now, keep in mind: there was no internet to search for images. She could not have rented and paused the movie, because it wasn’t released on video until 1982. No, TJ just went to the movie a bunch of times, took notes with a flashlight, drew a bunch of sketches, and put this together.
In 19-fucking-77. So let’s bury this bullshit about how women didn’t grow up on Star Wars.
This is literally the most heart warming story I have read on Twitter so far.
I think this is exactly what friends should do, and I feel everyone deserves people like this.
all these fucking fools on my dashboard talk about how they love bats but only show pictures of fruit bats fuck you start posting pictures of all bats i can’t stand this fucking bat erasure
look at him he’s not your conventionally attractive bat but he deserves just as much love
another beautiful bat you can see her whiskers!!!! look at her
this one’s named after it’s nose looking like a leaf! get fucking with it look she’s adorable!
tumblr “a massive porn botnet has visibly propagated itself across nearly every post with over 1,000 notes for the past four weeks on a site whose tos allows 13 year olds to use it and its moderators are either powerless to do anything about it or simply don’t care” dot com
Can we collectively destroy the idea that gritty witchcraft and pretty aesthetics are mutually exclusive. Just cause the colour pink or pastels exist in someones craft doesnt mean they can’t study Solomonic texts or have a solid base in protection and offense, work with their shadow etc.
This idea is heavily mysogynistic and presumptuous.
I get Witchblr and misinformed kids have us defensive but can we just not. ok
I immediately think of @orriculum and her kawaii-badassness.
(ETA: I didn’t even realize I had reblogged this from her until after. I herped when I should have derped.)
lmao @uranoxymoron you give me too much credit, i’m all pink and glitter
though, it’s so funny. this exact same conversation keeps happening in the romance-novel community, that respected and “good” literature is only the dark gloomy stuff that women die in, that anything light-hearted, indulgent in pretty things are vapid purely because they focus on women’s happiness (as a broad marketing demographic obv)
it must be some sort of irony if someone should make a lot of talk about witchcraft specifically empowering women and continue to devalue femininity
do u ever feel like you’ve accidentally tricked certain people into thinking you are smarter and have more potential than you actually do and do you ever think about how disappointed they’ll be when you inevitably crash and burn
Fun fact: Impostor Syndrome is ridiculously common among high-achievers, particularly women. If you identify with this post, odds are pretty good that you’re exactly as smart as people think you are, and the failure you’re afraid of isn’t inevitable at all.
and don’t forget this is one of the psychological barriers placed in by thousands years of patriarchy and male supremacy.
My computer science professor actually talked about this on the first day, it was really cool.
Fun brutal fact: in addition to the existence of imposter syndrome, being “twice exceptional” (also known as 2e) is also a thing. That means being intellectually gifted AND ALSO having a disability that affects your ability to succeed at study or work. Such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, etc etc etc. A lot of people believe that it’s not possible to be both, but it very much is.
Society tends to have very high expectations for how well gifted people will perform. Society tends to have low expectations for how well disabled people will perform. Society tends to attribute invisible disabilities, including mental illness, to a failure of willpower or effort or a bad attitude.
So if you read this post and went “no, but seriously, this is not just low self esteem on my part, people keep thinking I’m smart and then I keep crashing and burning and disappointing them and they can’t understand why I didn’t live up to their expectations, it happens again and again and when I tell someone how I feel and ask for help, they just tell me to stop being so hard on myself and that I’ll succeed if I have more self-confidence,” it is not just you.
(Also, one of the previous posts in this thread buried the lede a little. Imposter syndrome is ridiculously common in people from underrepresented groups in academia and other high pressure/high status fields, particularly women and people of colour. Maya Angelou did not only feel out of place because she was a woman.)
This essay also totally changed my view on the intersection of impostor syndrome and mental illness.
Thanks for adding race to this post cause too cause white supremacy has a whole lot to with this.
Soooooo my new tarot deck came in! 😊 It’s the Lisa Frant tarot deck by Arial Hart and it’s holographic, lol. It’s the major arcana only. 0: At some point I’ll be doing free readings with these so keep an eye out! Especially since eventually I’m going to charge for them. 😘
reblog the Don Draper of getting a job he’s unqualified for and you’ll have 10 years of getting jobs you’re unqualified for
YES
No but my dad actually did this at McDonalds in the 70s!
So here’s a true story: my father, sometime in the 70s was looking for his first job. He went to the local McDonalds and told the staff, [manager’s name] said I was supposed to start today. They took his word for it and started training him and by the time the manager saw him and asked who he was, people just said “oh that’s the new guy.”
Somehow this actually worked. My dad worked there for a couple of years as a cook. He even won an award plaque which he had on the wall until the day he died.
Her editing is unparalled by any other MUA on YouTube.
Her IG is @ wvrthy and her youtube channel info is on there. She makes and sells her own highlighters.
She deserves more subscribers
here’s her shop! she makes highlighters and other makeup meant to show up on all tones of skin, and her highlighters are incredible. just look!
support her! she’s got awesome other colors, too, besides the gold and the ones in that swatch. my personal favorite has gotta be the pinkish one she named “aphrodite”!
just look at these!!
if you can afford to, give her some business! businesses like her are much better to support then people like jeffree starr who is a notoriously racist devil.
her makeup is also just generally 100% better and also better for you, as big makeup companies tend to put icky shit in makeup.
tl;dr support businesses like wvrthy! wvrthy, keep being awesome!
are you fucking serious this entire post is god tier
A stray dog in Bolivia joined a monastery and became a monk. The resident monks of St. Francis Monastery, named for the patron saint of animals, decided to adopt a dog they call ‘Friar Bigotón’ from the Cold Nose Project, which hopes the dog’s story will now inspire more monasteries to take in homeless pets.
