#50 reasons

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023

#apollo don't fucking touch this one #serious post #not a shitpost #hope i forget about this post and have no reason to ever look back on it one day #fyi i'm aware that access to potable water is already a major issue in parts of the U.S. yes i know flint michigan exists #i'm saying that this issue is going to GROW unless local & federal governments work together to fix it. #so it's a matter of if we trust them to fix it. And well--do you? #what are the chances the government just denies there's a problem until the water actually turns brown #at which point it's already been common knowledge for years and people have just become resigned and that's our new normal #i'm mean come on. how many of us already believe that we're being exposed to dangerous pollutants we don't know about and can't avoid #like that's pretty much just part of being a modern consumer. accepting that companies will happily endanger your life for a few pennies #and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line #probably the history books will look back on Flint as a warning and a harbinger that went ignored #luxury condos will advertise their built-in top-of-the-line filtration systems--live here and you can drink water straight from your tap! #watch the elite professional class putting $700 dyson water filtration systems on their wedding registry #while the rest of us figure out how to fit water delivery into our grocery budget while putting 90% of our paycheck towards rent #also eggs are $15

I… do not understand tumblr live. Like, are there actually only about 50 people streaming across the whole platform at any one time? And why are so many of them just… people smoking? Or unoccupied desks? And why is nobody talking about frogs?

#live #tumblr live #it occurs to me that the reason there are so few streamers is that I am in the wrong timezone #but honestly even off-peak 50 streamers is embarrassing numbers #look I might do an AMA sometime #but there is a very low chance that it will be on tumblr live #so far most livestreaming I've done has been on facebook and/or instagram #but those platforms both really suck for it #so I am not sure which platform I will use #suggestions are welcome #I have also dabbled with youtube #and once tried twitch #might try tiktok sometime #but it's not great on all these platforms without existing follower counts #these are the ramblings of a tumblr old #his continuing mission: #to teach you about strange and wonderful animals #to seek out new frog lovers and teach them fun facts #to try to understand why tumblr is worse than before

I bought a cushion for my fireside chair with a mouse from Beatrix Potter's Tailor of Gloucester and it's the best financial investment I've made in a while, I smile every time I see it

#i found this book i don't remember where when i was 10ish and tried to read it. very audacious seeing as i knew like 50 words of english #i skimmed through it looking for words i recognised. mouse. snow. coat etc #then i encountered the phrase ''worsted chenille'' and it was the last straw #i knew what worst means. it means very bad. it's in past tense for some reason. and chenille is a caterpillar. in french for some reason #and this doesn't make the sentence any more intelligible! i thought it was about clothes? wasn't this guy making a coat #what role does the worst caterpillar play in this project #it was demoralising i felt like english & i would never work. you can know the words and they still don't make sense #the words worsted chenille have haunted me ever since

Man she really dumped him for being sad? I see where creek got his personality-

queen also didn't sign up for raising baby brothers-in-law instead of their own kids that they've been planning on having

#trolls #dreamworks trolls #is JD Creek's father? #the ballots are still coming in and it keeps being 50/50 #not that i won't go with my own preference in the end #but I prefer not to say anything and let the chaos go on XD #trolls creek #baby creek #trolls oc #freesia #drawing baby creek makes me feel weird #like drawing baby hitler #but he is one of my favorite character designs and he is cute #my art #answered #on a more serious note #it's unforgivable what freesia did and the way she did it #but the reasons for the breakup were more complicated and messy than i made it seem in that post #they had plans for the future that got postponed then derailed because of the deaths of the parents #and then JD started spending less and less time with her since he had to provide for the family #and the time they did spend together he used just to vent about his problems (understandable) #but at one point she had enough #so yeah... #also i headcanon JD always wanted to be a dad before this #and was excited to start a family #but then he got traumatized

#I tend to clear out the room before fighting the Big Bad #so imagine my surprise and horror when I saw that by doing that I gave Sarevok some MASSIVE buffs #the ONLY reason I didn't have to reload the fight was bc Karlach had Intimidating Presence and kept being successful with a 50% hit rate #ty mama k #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #act III spoilers #murder tribunal #croissant adventures #karlach #sarevok #omg croissant's not even in this one wow #comics

Concept for a lynx piñata cause I love Viva Piñata and I love lynxes and I think those two things should go together.

I also love moths so totally self indulgent drawing of the lynx and a mothdrop

#fun fact I actually dislike licorice #but no other candy went so well with lynx so it stayed #(I did look at the wikipedia list of candy and woah there's a lot of different types of candy) #I'm actually quite proud of the design (especially the sour one look at it it's so funky!!!!) #designing in the style of viva piñata was a fun challenge #the brainstorming was great too #but for some reason I got stuck with the rendered painting of the piñata house and three months had to pass until I could come back #the funny thing is that my art style changed a bit between those two last drawings #and I drew like 50 drawings inbetween them counting by the stuff in my folder #anyways this is for me and for you fellow viva piñata fans #maybe I'll draw more of this guy since I like their design a lot #I actually doubt we would get a lynx piñata if another game came out since there are at least 3 kitty piñatas #but that's exactly why I'm drawing this #viva piñata #viva pinata #vp mothdrop #vp #mothdrop #lynx #cinnamon's doodles

i desperately wish gw2 had more food-centric lore. i think about asura food more than is probably particularly reasonable. they're sort of implied to like molecular gastronomy in the lvl500 chef quests which is fitting and makes sense, but surely not every asura is eating bespoke Pea Spheres day in and day out right? i think my favorite angle on them is a sort of 50s-80s american-esque food style where there's a huge emphasis on things being Convenient and Scientific, so you'd get a lot of absolute slop tv dinners and canned items that have labels boasting how they were nutritionally fortified and contained your day's complete vitamin intakes and so on. a lot of jellied things. i do also fully believe they would have + eat soylent.

#my stuff #gw2 asura #asura #plex getting through his day on 2 cups of coffee 1 cup of liquid IV and a Breakfast Bar #goes home and has a kid cuisine. #idk how to explain but asura and like 50s-80s design and culture notions just go hand in hand to me #i want to see them working in little wood paneled cubicles ok #just brazenly smoking at work while typing on an unnecessarily clunky interface #inquest superior calls you into her office. every wall is a mirror. its triangle shaped for no reason. she is wearing shoulder pads. #i just want that 'lower levels of portal 2' energy maybe #(i think this thought started when i was replaying a bug in the system and noticed their offices have SO many potted palm trees) #(i was looking at those plus the neon lights and going like Hmmmm...Miami while being chased by 9458309 plague beetles) #these tags are really rambling on sorry LOLLL

This stupid bozo paid for Clip studio before realizing that you can't have more than 24 frames in an animation on this version and just transferring the pirated version I had from my old laptop

#rip. at least it was like 75% of for some reason #i would be pissed to hell if i paid 50 bucks for a version of a program i technically already had. just to be animation blocked

As someone who works in customer service, it’s fucking abhorrent we’re not allowed to just tell customers refunds or services just aren’t possible sometimes.

like. Like. Sorry, you’re not gonna get what you want 100% of the time!! The more people get used to being denied when it’s okay, the more they’ll stop acting like they’re entitled all the time.

#I’m not talking abt big cases where you truly were in the right #I’m talking abt petty shit #like waiting too long to contact us so the refund term expires and now I have to wait for 50 ppl to confirm you #and we’re both wasting our time #like shit sorry it sucks but!! I truly think the convo would go much smoother instead of me having to come up with 20 reasons to explain it #text #customer service #rant
