honestly really sexy of tumblr to keep follower numbers private. how many people are following me? you'll never know unless I tell you. maybe it's a million, or a thousand, or five, or maybe it's just you. maybe you're the only one here, all by yourself, unable to see if there's anyone standing next to you.

and you'd never know, because status here is based on opinion and not numbers; how popular you think someone is is a vibes-only calculation, and besides the chronological algorithms-optional feed, it's genuinely the best thing tumblr's ever done.

one thing me n my art loving gf would do is visit galleries and play a game called “root, loot or boot” 

the gist is that you would look at a group of paintings in a room and decide which figure in the painting you’d root (fuck, in Australian slang), which painting you’d loot (steal and put on your wall at home) and which painting you’d boot (punt into the garbage because it’s shit and Not Art)

a couple of things about my experiences:

1. this game is a lot more fun if you’re attracted to women because there’s so many Hot Gals to choose from 

2. if you are attracted to men, you will spend a lot of time going “well, looks like I’ll have to pick jesus again” as my bi gf did

3. it gets more complicated in modern art museums and you find yourself having saying, “I’d fuck the rhombus” “you CAN’T fuck the rhombus” “then I’ll fuck that blue squiggle thing. what’s it called?” “creeping existential dread in blue” “then does that mean I’m fucking the squiggle or am I getting fucked by the existential dread it represents?” “aren’t we all already getting fucked by existential dread?”

4. if you play this with an art history nerd, they may decide to kill you over one of your “boot” choices

5. you will get Disapproving Looks from other patrons who overhear your heated debates

6. it’s also the best fun you’ll ever have in an art gallery

“you CAN’T fuck the rhombus’ sounds like Quitter Talk to me.

As an art history nerd I’ve pissed off other art history nerds with my “boot” choices. I stopped getting invited to things when I was in art school about it. It’s funny now but honestly was really frustrating at the time.

Also yeah I’d fuck the blue squiggle too.

please you guys have to stop calling geralt of rivia a himbo on my witcher playthrough posts. we have 100% lost site of what a himbo is

thepleasuregoblin

The man has an encyclopedic knowledge of monsters, ghosts, ghouls, herbs and swords. He’s a nerd who works out

Geralt is a jaded, world-weary academic whose primary flaw is that he keeps trying to help people and make things better in some small way despite knowing that he would be better off just refusing to get involved and walking past anything that doesn’t concern him personally. And yes that’s sexy and it’s dumb but it’s the furthest thing from the simple dopey kindness of a himbo.

Now that the Parasite in chief has had her platinum Jubilee, i thought id share some fun facts about the monarchy in the UK and the Queen in particular. All of this information is easily found online.

-The Queen negotiated clauses in the equality and Diversity Act so she wouldn't have to hire 'coloured or foreign' staff in the palace. that clause is still there today.

-The Queen tried to use The State Poverty Fund to heat Buckingham Palace even with her own personal fortune.

-She lobbied the Scottish Parliament 67 times to ensure that new wildlife protections laws woudn't apply to her estates there.

-The main throne she sits on is worth an estimated £40,000,000,000. Her jewellery Collection worth circa £5,000,000,000 made with 28, 578 diamonds and gemstones, almost all of which were stolen from countries Britain invaded and enslaved...sorry colonised. She also banned the Police from searching her estates for stolen artifacts.

-Her crown estate is one of the largest property owners in the country. It has over 26 Royal residencies, inc 9 palaces that remain mostly empty and property portfolio that generates £300 million per year. Yet she had a family thrown out during the covid eviction ban for a £32 unpaid bill.

Her son is a nonce ( pedophile) that she protected through a £12 million payout.

-The 'free' book that was sent to every school to tell kids how wonderful the queen is cost the taxpayer £12 million.

-She has £420 million personal wealth, which doesn't include that for-mentioned crown estate or her antique furniture or her jewellery collection or all the stolen gold.

-She and her family cost the tax payer £345 million per year in security and other protections.

-The jubilee cost the tax payer £28 million , set aside by the chancellor for the purpose of funding it. Whilst there are currently 14.5 million people living in poverty here in the UK.

Celebrating the incredibly rich, racist and privileged whilst millions of our own citizens are suffering is disgusting.

Some sources:

- Buckingham Palace banned ethnic minorities from office roles, papers reveal (2021) (the article says that there is no longer a ban as of the 1990s, however the clause is still there to allow a ban.)

- Queen asked for poverty grant to heat palaces (2010)

- Revealed: Queen vetted 67 laws before Scottish parliament could pass them (2021) (It's unknown if any of the laws were amended due to her lobbying, but the lawmakers were required to get her approval.)

- Revealed: police barred from searching Queen's estates for looted artefacts (2021)

- Hampton Court mews row: Couple face eviction 'over £32 bill' (2020) (The tenant was using a communal socket to power his electric car.)

- Prince Andrew settles US civil sex assault case with Virginia Giuffre (2022) Prince Andrew pays settlement ending sex assault case (2022) (Guiffre was 17 at the time of the assault. The settlement was initially estimated at 12-14 million, in which case he probably couldn't have afforded it (without the Queen's help?), but some reports say that it was as little as 3 million by the end. IDK I couldn't find anything firm from a reputable source.)

- Queen’s jubilee book for schools to cost £12m (2021)

From the entry on the above book:

He asks “At what point do we escalate?”,[1]:8​ stating that the modern climate movement has remained committed to “absolute non-violence” and avoided property destruction.[1]:22–23​ He criticizes what he defines as “moral pacifism” for failing to account for defensive violence[1]:30–32

He states that “property destruction is violence” but that “we must insist on it being different in kind from the violence that hits a human (or an animal) in the face,” distinguishing between violence against property and violence against people, but noting that violence “which hits material conditions necessary for subsistence” is violence against people.[1]:102–103

He quotes The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon, stating that Fanon wrote that violence “frees the native ‘from his despair and inaction; it makes him fearless and restores his self-respect’.” He concludes that “There has been a time for a Gandhian climate movement; perhaps there might come a time for a Fanonian one. The breaking of fences may one day be seen as a very minor misdemeanour indeed.”[1]:158–161

TL;DR

Property destruction (against oil industry, etc) is violence in self-defense. Because what they are doing, hurting the very environment we need to survive, is a violent attack on us.

Zuko having a connection to the spirit world but instead of it being something deep and profound, it’s just because he spent three years pre-finding the avatar running towards the first weird magical shit he saw.

firelord-boomerang

Aang and Zuko journey to the Spirit World.

The Spirits: Oh look, the avatar.

The Spirits when they see Zuko: AND HE BROUGHT ZUKO WITH HIM! GUYS ZUKO’S BACK!!! EVERYONE HE’S HERE!!! ZUKO YOU BASTARD HOW ARE YOU?!

roach-works

iroh’s connection to the spirit world is one of sober mutual respect

zuko is the spirits’ equivalent of that one racoon who just hangs out inside a gas station on top of the slurpee machine so persistently that he’s given a namebadge and an employee cubby in the break room
