🩸Help Nour a hydrocephelus warrior from Gaza🩸

Hello, I'm from Gaza, my little daughter Nour has hydrocephalus and seizures, we are now in a tent in very bad conditions, and every thing destroyed our house, hospitals and physiotherapy centers 😔 I'm waiting your reply hope you will support Nour as she's a palestinian child needs your urgent help because the seizures attacks have increased, and hospitals don't receive her because of the huge number of injuries and martyrs. She must see a neurosurgeon soon to adjust the doses of the antiseizure medications. Also she needs CT scan and MRI to ensure that the shunt is working well. She also needs to continue Physiotherapy ASAP and Occupational therapy sessions to enable her to stand and take her first steps.

HERE'S THE LINK TO DONATE

Please support my campaign because Nour needs special care out of Gaza war, Donate some money if you able or give away your share with friends, GOAL $1350

DONATION RECEIVED $471/$130 THANKS 🙏

My redesign hot take is that if you’re aiming to “desexualize” a female character, don’t make her boobs smaller. You’re implying a lot here.

Meetin folks

Heya friends! This post is a bit different than my normal posts, but I’ve been in a bit of a rut lately.

I’m a trans, gay Irish/Celtic pagan and folk practitioner, and I haven’t been able to find a community wherein I’m able to thrive like this. None of my friends practice paganism, and it can be hard not having folks to talk to, even though it seems so trivial. In most queer spaces, spirituality is sort of laughed off, and if anyone has any resources, or is in a similar spot as I, please let me know!

I apologize for the downer vibe of this post, but I just hope folks stay happy :D

If you want to connect, lmk! 🤍

It seems people really enjoyed the last headcannon post, so I have returned, this time with headcannons for the non-romanceable characters!

I love all of the characters in this game, and have created so many little dumb ideas for them, so here ya go!

We have confirmation that Linus came from a wealthy family, but put this life aside, donating his money to various charities and organizations to help others, and I like to imagine that he still enjoys working with these charities from time to time, whether this be shelter work, environmental care, or supporting other people!

Willy never had children, but took in Elliot as his own, teaching him everything he would need to know regarding the seas, and quickly takes in Farmer as well, after learning about their love for fishing.

Gus is a trans guy! I don't have any evidence for this, but I just adore Gus so much and need this in my life.

Gunther is a long-time DM, and runs a small group with some of the local teens, and maybe some of the adults! I feel like his fascination of antiques and old treasures has assisted his DMing skills, or possibly the other way around!

Kent has learned how to sew, knit, and garden in order to get closer with Jodi and the kids once he returned to Pelican Town. (He's trying to be a better dad, he already is such a good guy :])

Mr. Qi is quite close with both Sandy and Gus, considering them friends!

Pierre was a college dropout, yet still considers himself a "man of study", I'm sorry, I just can't see this man as anything but an arrogant asshole.

The Wizard is incredibly supportive of the queer folks in the town, and Farmer, and will offer help with anything. Gender change? He's got you. Voice manipulation? He's got the stuff. Just be careful if he invites you to share a pipe!

Marlon and the Wizard are the local salty gay couple, Statler and Waldorf style, and lurk in the back during the flower dance, taking the last dance for themselves.

Pam loves thrifting and going on antiquing sprees with Harvey, and she knows how to absolutely steal a deal, girlie would most definitely punch an old woman over an auction item.

This is all I have atm, but if you want more, please let me know!! I love making stupid little theories for the glorbos. :]

I think a lot of what pro-AI people are really wanting is stuff that already exists but they don't know it's out there like

can't format a work email? templates

don't know how to write a resume? templates

writing a thank you card or a condolences card or a wedding invitation? templates templates templates

not sure how to format your citations in MLA or whatever format? citationmachine.net

summary of something you're reading for school/work? cliffnotes.com

recipe based on ingredients in your fridge? whatsintherefrigerator.com

there's a million more like, guys, we don't need AI, we never needed generative AI

we’re really out here living in an AI dystopian hellscape and this shit has just begun… the future is grim…

HEY YOU WITH THE FACE!

When the interview process is WAY more thorough than you expected….

Bealtaine (not Beltane) is pronounced ‘Beeowl-tinna’. It does not originate the neopagan wheel of the year. It is one of the four Irish fire festivals.

If you’re celebrating it this year, regardless of your tradition, please take some time to research the roots of this holiday. Do your part to help reverse some of the damage done by the neopagan appropriation of this holiday by learning and incorporating some authentic Irish tradition into your celebrations.

Good luck with decolonizing your practice!

I'm thinking about making a bugs and other arthropods iceberg, just for funsies

here are the ideas I have so far!

LEVEL 1: isopod cultures, difference between butterflies and moths, springtails are not insects, true bugs, fireflies are beetles, harvestmen aren't spiders, funky treehoppers, carcinisation

LEVEL 2: importance of mosquitoes, larviform females, venezuelan poodle moth is a hoax, barnacles are upside down crustaceans, fly diversity, horshoe crabs are related to arachnids, mysid shrimps and krill are not related to true shrimp, crustacean zoea, insects are crustaceans, terrestrial amphipods, ant trophobiosis, funny weevils, whip spiders, playful behaviour in bees, assassin bugs that cover themselves in their prey's corpses, honeybees are invasive, 'spider with wings' hoax, hotwheels sisyphus, scorpions are great mothers

LEVEL 3: cockroaches do not spread diseases, gladiators, tongue eating lice aren't that bad, tongue worms, flightless flies and moths, hangingflies, spider that feeds on human blood*, hematophagous moths, polymorphic butterflies, myrmecophil insects, ant mimicking spiders, sawflies, twig spiders, snout mites, rove beetle tongues, kermesidae, parasitic copepods, there's no point in killing spotted lanternflies, buoy barnacles, tar flies, protecting native bees, antarctic midges, butterflies are moths

LEVEL 4: ice crawlers, fleas are actually scorpionflies, mantises are related to cockroaches, ichthyurus, insane isopod diversity, flies are not the only insects with halteres, phytalmia, owlflies, cockroach trophobiosis, termites are cockroaches, ancyra, longhorn beetle that stings with antennae, saltwater skating flies, coatonachthodes, bioluminescent fairy shrimp, mr. arthrobalanus, primarily herbivorous spider, forcepflies, lake baikal giant amphipods, fruit fly covered in eyes, even weirder fly diversity, the other myriapods, spider mimicry in flies and moths

LEVEL 5: terrestrial ostracods, serolidae, ascodipteron

so what do you think? anything I should add or change?? should I just scrap this concept altogether???? I don't know much about bugs when it comes to facts or how well known said facts are so I'd really appreciate some help with this!

*it doesn't exactly feed on human blood like mosquitoes or bed bugs, it just eats blood from mosquitoes that are full of blood
