I, father strange, will be hosting a tumblr show and tell. Please comment or reblog with a picture + explanation of your prized possessions that you would like to share with the class today. I expect to receive so many goblin jars, cursed pieces of Garfield merch, and questionably sourced bones.
Make sure you’re very comfortable with sharing because my favourites will be selected for a video!
First up we have this tiny wishing snowman. His head opens up to put tiny messages in, and I used to use him to wish for snow.
We have this scarf which, to me at least, has some excellent goblin or piratecore vibes, depending on my mood. The colours are richer irl, but the lighting wasn’t great here.
A leatherbound journal that I use for nerdy DnD purposes. It has a string that keeps it closed and the pages are just the right amount of worn on the edges.
Another gobliny accessory, fingerless gloves that turn into mittens. In autumn colours, because I am a goblin of taste.
This pretty awesome wolf mug. His name is Cobalt. He is hand wash only, but he fits so much tea!
And finally we have my various hoardes. The pin hoarde, the obligatory dice hoarde, and the book hoarde (featuring the tea hoarde).
been seeing this tag on ao3 called “mutually unrequited” and i dont mean to nitpick but like….thats not…..what it means…………..
“mutually unrequited” okay so they just don’t like each other
Wait this is actually a hilarious concept, they both think the other is in love with them but they both are very not in love with each other but they try to be nice and end up going on dates to not hurt the other’s feelings while trying to figure out how to let the other down gently but it keeps spiraling
*taps the glass* hey, y'all know that what you might want isn’t necessarily what’s best to legislate?
Explanation:
- You cannot be judge, jury and executioner because the division of powers was created for a reason; to remain impartial and try to keep corruption to a minimum.
- Every single living person has human rights. Including the most evil people you could ever meet. Those people have a right to live, to get healthcare, to eat and to have a job. YES, even evil people.
I’ve seen a lot of people talk about abolishing prison, because it’s the cool, new hip thing that everyone is talking about. And instead of understand what it means, they think it’s the liberation of wrongfully imprisoned minorities - which it is. But also:
Prison abolition means setting up a system of psychological and physical help for the people whom are deemed dangerous to society. Yes, that includes Evil Fucking People. Recovery and rehabilitation should be the goal, not incarceration. THAT is abolishing prison.
Of course I want that abusive piece of shit father who abused his children to die. I want him dead! DEAD. But it does not mean that that’s what I want as an official law, because as much as I’d love to see him dead, the betterment of society and the rehabilitation and development of a human fucking being is important.
The benefits to prison abolition are ENDLESS. But it is also a struggle, and y'all can’t keep going through life with a 5 year old’s justice mentality. I swear, fandom has rotted your fucking brains off, because we NEED ACTIVISTS. We NEED TO KNOW WHY WE WANT WHAT WE WANT, AND WHAT IT ENTAILS.
You believe in something? Look up the activists who are doing work there. Read up on it. Look up videos. Follow them on their social media. Work in your communities, if you’ve the opportunity.
And stop being so fucking stupid about abolishing human rights. You’re doing the work for the far right when you call on all pedophiles to be executed on sight. Not even twenty years ago, gay people were mostly thought of as PEDOPHILES.
You see how this shit goes? Yeah?
Then figure yourself the fuck out.
“I really want that fucker to suffer, but I don’t want a society run by my worst impulses”is a really important moral principle that more people need to learn.
So there’s this company in the UK, right. They brand themselves on producing fancy free range eggs and as part of that they have breed information written on the carton.
I did some snooping and found that every miracle news story of a supermarket egg hatching in the UK traced back to duck eggs, specifically the Braddock White duck eggs produced by this one company for the supermarket Waitrose.
And one day my mum brings them home and says “I bought these to eat but aren’t they the ones that hatch?”
And it’s spring and I’m hatching a ton this year so in they went.
On candling we had three fertile eggs! That’s a fertility of 50% - the same as shipped eggs from a breeder!
Hatch day comes and we get 2 ducklings, Curie and Becquerel. Sadly, Curie contracts duck septicaemia from an infected navel and doesn’t make it, but Becquerel is a healthy bird and growing like a weed.
I had put 4 breeder eggs in a week after them in case just one hatched, so Becque now has two Khaki Campbell cross friends called Tsuki and Hoshi so she isn’t lonely.
And as of today’s 7am Quacking - Becque is a female! Which means she’s capable of laying eggs and therefore I have pirated a duck.
everyone talks about how tumblr should make an @everyone feature, but I have another proposal: an @anyone feature. this tags a few users at random and there’s no way of predicting who it will be. this will also solve nothing and make everything worse
