Hey, you know your favorite character? Yeah, the one with an interesting face shape and unique features? Well we put them in fandom and they're drawing them with a basic, conventional face shape nowadays. Uh huh, no wrinkles or anything. I'm sorry dude, yeah they completely changed the nose.

NEW FISH JUST DROPPED

I KNOW that playing God is morally wrong, but holy HELL, it looks fun.

Why is it playing God? We aren’t violating any natural laws. God set the parameters of the universe to allow these things. There’s nothing wrong with it, there’s no hubris in learning more about how to manipulate the universe around us.

We made a whole-ass fish.

reluctant friend: puppy dog city is a myth, we should turn back

grizzled mercenary: it's getting dark, keep moving

puppygirl: puppy dog city's real. it's a city full of puppy dogs, a place i'll belong & fit in, it's home. i saw it

eccentric scientist: the implications are astounding

This probably sounds obvious, but I learned today that prisoners aren't protected by OSHA regulations, and that this is another reason why employers are so eager to utilize this modern slavery. It's only a couple cents an hour, less transportation costs than the overseas sweatshops, and if you want people to work with hazardous materials without proper training? That's fine too! Prison labor is the ultimate free market solution!

If you want to really change the world, prisoner rights and prison reform is the way to go. Removing the ability of the ruling class to effectively punish the population frees everyone to challenge them in meaningful ways. Arbitrary violence and incarceration is how they keep people scared and divided. There is no crime in our society that isn't generated by our society. Even the worst ones you can think of.

Prisoner rights are human rights. Prison abolition is mass freedom.

They turned off reblogs the MICROSECOND I pressed reblog, so I need this on my blog IMMEDIATEDLY

the fact that the report [ file available at the bottom of this page ] listing every person who has been killed in palestine since oct 7th is over 210 pages long is fucking insane. the first of the 88 names are from one family. after that, the following 72 are from one family. one family. i am asking you from the bottom of my heart, do not become desensitized to these numbers. 7,028 killed. 2,913 of them children. thousands missing under the rubble. do not ever let these numbers be anything but shocking and disturbing to you.

Boycott Disney. Boycott McDonald's. Boycott Starbucks. "Oh but it won't work, it won't do anything" Yes it will. Boycotts have worked before and they will again. Think of the Montgomery bus boycotts. Think about American women boycotting imported British goods during the revolution.

Why do you think popular media is so quick to discount boycotts as ineffective? Could it possibly be because they work? Could it be because major corporations understand that they work and are scared? Could it be because boycotts have historically been utilized by marginalized groups to assert their views and fight for change within a conflict in which they have no power?

Do not have give in to the apathetic nihilism of "nothing I do matters, so why bother?" That is exactly what oppressors count on. Be critical of the media you consume. Ask questions. Look to history. Boycott.

tumblr as a company has clearly sided with israel (running pro-israel propaganda & misinformation ads, blocking/suppressing the palestine tag and many related tags) at this point if you pay for ad free browsing, badges, or merch you are enabling this. tumblr is not playing both sides, they are not acting neutrally, they are on the side of genocide. do not support this company

forgot to mention that tumblr is also deleting posts and videos showing proof of israel’s acts of genocide and war crimes, which is abhorrent on a different level. they are suppressing the truth intentionally. tumblr is acting maliciously to silence the truth. do not fund this by buying features from them. if you do i will assume you either don’t care at best, and silently are aligned with zionism at worst.

do it scared do it weird do it alone. holy trinity

‘agreed’. that’s a funny way to spell ‘were forcibly removed with the alternative of painful deaths’. 

propaganda

Your regular reminder that the first example is Canadian. (The clue is “first nations.”)

Much as we like to pretend otherwise, America doesn’t have a monopoly on racism, genocide, or whitewashing.

also a reminder than australian schools do not acknowledge our own history of slavery, or “blackbirding”. i had no idea 60,000 pacific islanders were kidnapped and enslaved in australia until after i graduated, because no one talks about it. and even what we do learn is watered down. the focus was always on white settlers and how they discovered land, their mapping, their dedication and their struggles; only very briefly do we get to focus on the murders they committed, the generational trauma they caused by stealing an entire generation for the sole purpose of breeding the indigenous blood out of them, the indescribable, abhorrent things they did to indigenous people.
