Henlo frens!

I made an AntiFa Illustrator template that you can use to make your own AntiFa logo for your local region! It's all in vector so it scales beautifully. Great for stickers! Please feel free to use and share!

Why Nerds Hate Furries:

theculturalbarxist.wordpress.c

"in furry, where the fandom was uniquely focused on giving free reign to individual expression and where there’s no one single corporate canon, these same anti-LGBTQ arguments were a harder sell. Without the psychological divide between creators and consumers, no official gatekeeper could declare something to be incompatible with 'furry canon.'"

A good chunk of Eastern Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Oregon are all on fire. The smoke has accumulated over Seattle.

This is the sun. This is ash falling from the sky. This is...heckin' creepy​, honestly.

Second time this summer.

wondering why the air is yellow and grainy in Seattle today? here's a handy map! dnr.wa.gov/Wildfires (you have to scroll down the page a bit for the map)

hey Portland people, how are you doing?? the Oregon fires look even worse currently. D:

Grey foxes are great because they always look like they know exactly what kind of shit you're trying to pull

Does anybody actually wash pants after only one wear? Unless you spill something they're good for a *while*.

Fun fact: Van Halen are famous for what seems like a ridiculous contract stipulation: when they performed live, their contract required the venue to provide a bowl of M&Ms with all the brown M&Ms taken out.

As one of the first arena rock bands, they had an enormous amount of equipment on stage.

The first time a venue didn't take the brown M&Ms out, the venue also hadn't ensured their stage could hold the load (which the contract specified), and the stage collapsed.

Where does the word 'pink' come from? 

Here's something odd my dad pointed out, which got me thinking about this to begin with: we don't know where 'pink'/'pinkje', meaning "the fifth finger", came from.

But Proto-Indo-European does have a strikingly similar root: "*penk(w)e".

It means "five" or "fifth".

Where does the word 'pink' come from? 

We get 'pink' from the name of a kind of flower that typically has a whitish-red hue.

That flower gets its name because its edges are 'pinked' - scalloped.

Pinking an edge gets its name from 'pinking', meaning generally poking holes with a long, thin object.

That gets its name from Dutch 'pink', a long, thin object.

THAT gets its name from 'pink', meaning the fifth finger on the hand - which is diminuted to 'pinkje', where we get "pinkie".

I still think the Human Instrumentality Project sounds like a pretty good idea overall.

Dream fragment about finding myself wearing a binder and being confused and dysphoric about it.

Okay but which of y'all posted "harry potter and the spectre of communism" because I would genuinely 100% read that fic were it to exist..

I looked, and the closest thing is a blatantly obvious troll fic.

Boost this if your desk is slowly being consumed by a pile of empty and mostly-empty pill bottles.
