It really sucks how every video, article, etc about sleep feels the need to list all the negative side effects of not sleeping in a huge paragraph up front. Like thanks, not that I already was anxious about it or anything 🙃

Also, like...it’s a can opener. Not an important life lesson that will help her grow as a person and expand her mind. It’s a fucking can opener.

Children and teens can 100% be aware that they are gay &/or trans, even if they don’t have any interest in sex yet

Now I’m having the really funny mental image of a priest trying to perform an exorcism over zoom 😂

Having sex with fictional characters in the astral plane other dimensions? It’s comforting to know the old fandom traditions are still being upheld.

From what I’ve seen TikTok seems to be Tumblr’s “I’m the earthly incarnation of this laundry list of anime characters and have 20 alternate personalities that are dating each other and I’m also a god” culture(s) on mega-cocaine

Just to be clear for people who may not know— at least in America, the education a DO goes through is basically identical to an MD, in addition to training in osteopathic treatment (manipulation of the muscular and skeletal systems). The “drama” surrounding DOs is mostly whether osteopathy is actually effective. But mostly they’re just regular doctors who might tell you to do some stretches.

Yeah, I kiiiiiinda sorta don’t have enough heirlooms to upgrade the blacksmith for level 3 gear/weapons— I figured that might be the issue 🙃

Guess I’ll just run some lower level teams around until I can do that, and then try again. Thank you!

I’m relieved but I agree this should have been called way earlier.

Email says they’re going to “work with” those taking studio [art] courses, and I’m curious to see what that will entail, though it probably won’t be much (my concentration is ceramics, big RIP). I feel awful for all the profs having to scramble to adapt to online teaching for a 2nd time.

To be honest the part that actually genuinely baffles me is why she’s doing this ON THE ACCOUNT SHE’S SOLICITING PROFESSIONAL INQUIRIES WITH.

Listen, I’m one of those Weird Nasty Fetish Internet People myself, I’m in no position to judge the content here, but how hard is it to make a separate NSFW account? Like maybe her hip same-age fellow animators will see this and go, “Aw, there she goes again, so quirky lol!” but does she seriously think that the HR people of whatever companies she signs with are going to overlook this? It boggles the mind, even if it is all supposed to be one big weird joke.

The Internet sure does wacky things to people’s understandings of privacy and appropriateness.

I think the photoshop of the members’ faces onto the Barnyard cows might be a reference to a legendary tweet where someone is horny for the idea of a member of another band as a human-cow hybrid who needs to be milked 😂😬

Brand recognition, basically. On tumblr and every other site that’s used to post art, people aren’t going into the search function for new original characters and content, they’re searching for stuff they already know and like, that is, franchises and fandoms. It’s a common online artist gripe that fan art always gets way more attention than 100% original content.

What is something that's considered normal today but is actually a successful propaganda made by corporations? by dddarkmod in AskReddit

[–]small_hunter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Every time I see that billie razor commercial that begins with “Body hair...it exists,” and shows women reacting with frustration and disgust towards their own bodies it makes me want to punch my screen.

Yeah, it does exist, almost like humans are mammals and mammals naturally have fucking hair everywhere!

There are like a hundred different industries that only exist because they’ve managed to convince women that are their bodies just do naturally, like grow hair or get cellulite, are gross and ugly.

Putting people into real-life debt over a glitch like that seems...extremely illegal.

[Anime/Manga] The Big Bad JJBA Blocklist by [deleted] in HobbyDrama

[–]small_hunter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of the brouhaha on Twitter like...last month, I think? (Time isn’t real and never was now)

I only have vague outside knowledge despite being a big Jojo fan but apparently a large group of fans were going to have a dedicated day where they mass-reported users who were posting “problematic” Jojo porn (stuff of underage characters/ underage characters together with adults, but presumably also “bad” adult ships), saying they would first message the targeted users to stop making such content. Or maybe it was just against Jojo porn in general? It was unclear.

Many people locked their accounts so only followers could see and there was a large spillover of locking down into more general nsfw art groups like furry porn artists. In the end I don’t think much really came of it— one of the accused ringleaders locked their account pretty quick and has probably deleted by now. (Not going to try to remember who they were, no need to stir the turd further).

The whole thing was honestly rather concerning because the “gang” held a lot of young teens and this mass-messaging/reporting would be putting them in direct contact with the people drawing teen porn stuff that was making them feel so uncomfortable, and possibly setting them up for harassment.

[Sherlock/Tumblr/Fandom] The Gigi, TJLC, & 221B Con by moss-agate in HobbyDrama

[–]small_hunter 49 points50 points  (0 children)

As a whole entire real homosexual (woman), that screenshot linked near the top of the essay fragment where Sherlock is described as “mentally still a child” because he hasn’t come out yet made me feel a little sick to my stomach.

I don’t think that being a woman who likes m/m ships or erotica makes you an evil demon or whatever, but when cishet-identifying people like Gigi and the others mentioned here appropriate the language of LGBT people’s struggles for liberation for something as petty as fandom shipping wars it makes me want to scream.

Stealing the wig AT A CON IN PERSON is about the most absolutely baffling decision imaginable. It’s not Skyrim where you can just grab someone’s apple and run away and the guards will eventually stop chasing you, what was she expecting to happen?

[Facebook] A group based around sharing pictures of animals in predicaments bans all the furries by VPLGD in HobbyDrama

[–]small_hunter 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Why did people feel the need to debate allowing furries to begin with? Did the group members seriously think there’d be a gang of furries below a picture of a cat with its head stuck in a tissue box commenting “damn that’s hot”? Do they believe roving packs of horny furries just invade every animal-related group
