When you come back to tumblr to look for porn but end up reblogging a bunch of shit and then accidentally reblogging the porn

H*zbin Hotel is a story about DEMONS who have DIED AS HUMANS and are LIVING IN HELL. There are THREE GAY CHARACTERS and this is a story written by a WHITE CISHET female who has drawn PEDOPHILIA, BEASTIALITY, AND FANART FOR RACIST PEOPLE WHO BLACKFACE. One of the characters are BLACK CODED and is nothing but a STEROTYPICAL BLACK PERSON. One of the gay characters is a PORN STAR and is the COMIC RELIEF IN A LOT OF THE SCENES. One of the gay characters, who I remind you are all in hell, is also a SEX WORKER, even though sex workers aren’t bad people.

And you mean to tell me that this media is reclaimable n shit??? Even if ur critical of this shit show, it’s still awful and irredeemable. H*zbin Hote falls under irredeemable just like Heartbeat or BTD, etc.

People who aren’t absolute clowns may add onto this list of the problematic shit about this fucking horrendous show

Here's how to take Wired's advice and get your own e-scooter, for a fraction of the cost

Today, Wired advises you to “Stop Renting E-Scooters Every Day and Just Buy One Already!”, which may or may not be good advice in terms of your own safety and the safety of others, but if you like the idea, you don’t need to spend $1000-$1600 to risk your neck and the necks of everyone else on your commute.

Many cities have banned e-scooter short-hire vehicles and are impounding them, and in other cities, repo men have been busily seizing scooters left on private property, and the e-scooter companies, who already lose money on every scooter (they’re making it up in volume!) just abandon their scooters to rust away in impound lots and turn into e-waste.

Which means that you can pick up scooters for pocket-change in municipal auctions! There’s only one problem: the control units of these scooters only take orders from companies like Bird and Lime, so even after you own one of these things, you can’t ride it without paying an overcapitalized bezzle for the privilege.

That is…not unless you swap out the control unit! For $30 or less, you can get a conversion kit that swaps in with just a few screws’ worth of fiddling. Once you do that, that city impound scooter becomes your scooter, at a price so cheap you can buy two!

This strategy is totally legal, and totally toxic to Bird and Lime’s business model, and boy do they know it: last year, Bird threatened to sue me for writing about this in a bid to keep the news from spreading. Luckily, we recognized the hollowness of their threat and, with help from our friends at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, we were able to force them to back down and issue an apology (albeit not a very good one).

Consider this our bit of service journalism for the day: if you really want to own your own e-scooter, don’t contribute to the growing mountains of e-waste created by these things. Instead, help your city defray the costs of impounding the scooters that feckless, overcapitalized companies like Bird and Lime have littered our streets with, blocking wheelchair and stroller access and putting other sidewalk users at risk from high-speed, potentially lethal “personal transports.”

hm so psa bc i didn’t know this, it’s not common knowledge, and flu season is around:

apparently you aren’t supposed to take dextromethorphan (a common cough suppressant. it’s in stuff like cough syrup, mucinex dm, tylenol severe cold) with sertraline (aka zoloft, the antidepressant) bc it has the risk of causing Serotonin Syndrome, which is not as fun as the name suggests. i’m not a doctor but like, avoid drug interactions bc they can be serious.

remember to read labels guys aaa

you’re sitting across from me in a shitty diner in anywhere, america, and i watch you pour too much creamer in your coffee and i think “i love you.” you look up, catching me staring, and for a moment i think i’m brave enough to say it, but i take too long and the moment passes. i take the balled up straw wraper and flick it at you, pretending that was my plan all along. you laugh. i never want to go another day without hearing that laugh. i think i will have all the time in the world to say it.

I’ve been scamming the Dominos app promotion where you take a picture of any pizza for free points. For three weeks in row, not only has their shitty camera always interpreted any photo of my cat as pizza, I always tell them it was “the worst I’ve ever had” and “made at home”.

What’s up just a reminder that the Hula Girl stereotype can go to hell and is in part responsible for Hawai’i being the tourist destination and getting invaded by rich white people, and for Hawaiian culture being disrespected and appropriated

Here’s a few sources on the topic:

How America’s Obsession With Hula Girls Almost Wrecked Hawai’i (the site is weird but the research is legitimate, gives a good overview of the issue and references a lot of sources that are harder to get your hands on read: books)

“Pop” Goes Hawai’i: The Twentieth Century Origins of Tourism in Hawai’i and the Impact of U.S. Pop Culture on Women in the Islands of Aloha (this one is very long but a really good read)

Misperceptions of the “Hula Girl” (this one is a personal essay but it’s an entry in the University of Hawai’i’s academic newspaper)

Hoshiai no Sora is very cute and has some positive queer rep (hopefully we’ll see more of it later in the show!) but still, to anyone wanting to start it, it’s important to mention some trigger warnings bc that crap gets heavy…

child abuse

domestic abuse in general

PTSD

heavy angst

bullying

If any of you are interested in watching it, please keep that in mind, since it caught me very off-guard and while I do enjoy the show, I have to prepare emotionally for each week (I’ve PTSD and the portrayal in the show is very realistic)
