I fully do not care to engage with any donation drives on tumblr, “verified” or not
I know pretty much all of that is bot activity, anyway, but for the few who don’t. If you get tagged by a stranger on a donation post, it’s a bot and a scam
(Link above screencap of stuff.co.nz headline “Kiwi pukupuku/little spotted kiwi rediscovered on mainland Aotearoa after 50 years.”)
(And yes, one of our main, reputable national news sites is just called “Stuff.”)
This is much more exciting for Kiwi bird-enjoyers than Sir Peter trying to resurrect the moa. Good on you, kiwi pukupuku, for proving you’re experts in How Not To Be Seen, but it is very nice to see you.
pessimist: the glass is empty. it's completely empty. this is not good.
optimist: yeah there's pretty clearly nothing in it. maybe we could put water in the glass, and then it wouldn't be empty anymore? but yeah it is empty.
liberal: You two are such pessimists. I like to think of it as half full 😊
people need to understand more that some disabled people will never be “carbon neutral” or plastic free. A lot of people need plastic or other manufactured goods to STAY ALIVE. “oh we can bare to lose a few more humans on the earth” okay how about the leaders of countries who are responsible for killing millions and damaging the ecosystem beyond repair. How about you think about why you are targeting a minority already so very targeted for something they have very little effect on.
Plastic is actually essential for a shit ton of medical technology/equipment. it's a magical material
since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage"
some people think this is a shitpost so i want to clarify that i am dead fucking serious. make mage the official gender neutral honorific NOW. i want it on my passport. i want it on my bank account. i want doctors and judges to use it for me. i don't care if it sounds a little silly. people thought "missus" sounded crass at first. call me mg.
benefits of mg:
drawbacks:
Sometimes there are memes that are so important to the culture of this site that you would swear they started in 2014 or something but you look it up and its like
actually just doing this as its own post because i don’t like how long the reblog looks
(sorry for the second post, the whole concept was supposed to go together initially but i got too excited)

jonouchi is the type of guy that would try to impress yugi by showing off doing intricate yoyo tricks in an attempt to swoon him and indicate "i like you" without saying it, thinking that it would be obvious to yugi when infact, it is not obvious to him at all—and while doing this, jonouchi would proceed to tangle himself in the string of the yoyo in a way that would make you think to yourself "now how did you manage that? that's kinda impressive."
now let's say it does actually get through to yugi somehow, which would be even more hilarious. i could also imagine yugi second-guessing himself while talking to someone head in hands going "he did yoyo tricks for me- nobody does that!"
