#more than the bare minimum

[the-catboy-minyan]

would you tell a Native American person you know their history better than them?

would you tell an African American person you know their history better than them?

would you tell any minority group you know their history better than them?

no?

then why the fuck are you doing that with Jews?

#I'm so fucking tired #antisemitism #jumblr #jewish #judaism #israel #israblr #ישראבלר #ישראל #jewish history #am yisrael chai #like it or not Israel's history is part of Jewish history as well #because it's a Jewish country created by JEWISH PEOPLE #not all Jews are gonna know Israeli history that well sure #but Israeli Jews sure will #and even diaspora jews need to know a bare minimum because the existence of the state directly affects them #and obviously this is also about general antisemitism which I'd say diaspora jews probably know more than Israelis

this was funnier in my head but it ended up being sad

commissioned this to @beeturtle!!

#so like-what if jesse didn’t eat as much as the average person would and resulted in being... more lighter than usual #(of course being vegetarian would also have a factor in that) #as detrimental as it can be she does that because she’ll only eat “as much as she needs” aka the bare minimum #AND she wants her friends to have enough to eat!! (though she won't admit that) #headcanon ramblings #commissioned #mcsm #mcsm fanart #minecraft story mode #mcsm olivia #mcsm f!jesse #mcsm petra

Me messaging my boss usually: of no in sorry I haven't quite finished the 6 hour piece of work you gave me an hour ago!!!! maybe I could work late and finish it after work?

Me responding to my boss asking anything of me today, my last day and the day after they tried to discipline me for mentioning unions: do it yourself or fuck off and die lol, furthermore bosses get the guillotine

#red said #WAIT RUTH CAN YOU MAKE SURE YOU FINISH THIS BEFORE YOU GO? #1) physically no. there's like 5 hours left where i have this laptop i cannot do 50 hours of work in it #2) why would i want to? literally why? you had one piece of leverage #which was extending my notice a week. and you've already made it clear a) that you won't #and b) that you don't respect me or care about my wellbeing beyond vague lipservice #so literally why would i do more than the bare minimum today? i don't owe you shit.

#george russell #saudi arabian gp 2024 #sau24 #f1 #*m #q #(its not much + considering their restrictions when it comes to these statements i cant imagine he could say a whole lot more on the matter #but its still so much better than what the others have said.....) #(its the bare minimum and im glad that he delivered it at least.)

You know... it's okay to trust your body. If you are separated from your body to such an extent you feel you cannot trust it, I truly from the bottom of my heart empathize and feel grief for you, but you can trust your body.

It's okay to listen to your body and to heed what it is telling you. I wish you (and your body) well wherever you go. You deserve the peace of mind to feel able to do what you want.

#positivity #mental health #mental health support #gentle reminders #this is something i struggle with myself so that's why i said i empathize (well... i guess as much as you CAN empathize) #(because even if you have gone through the same thing... it's not going to look the same as somebody else going through that) #(and while it can be valuable to express empathy it doesn't mean you truly 'get it' from the other person's point of view) #i struggle sometimes not to feel like my body is fucking with me because sometimes i expect it to function at bare minimum #or i just assume that when it is in debilitating pain that it's just... somehow to fuck with me and i am cognizant that this isn't true #i am cognitively aware that the body isn't Specifically Designed to have a Fuck With You mode even if it feels like it #but my experiences with disabilities and general unwellness made it easy for me to alienate myself from my body #in order to preserve myself i felt the need to separate myself from every flaw (or 'flaw') i have #so when people are confused about why you could mistrust your /own body/ it's stuff like this that can somewhat illustrate it #i think we don't really talk about this but i think it's more common than i would assume #(mostly based on the There Are Eight Billion People principle) #hm making this also makes me realize that abuse absolutely plays into how i mistrust my body. hm. #mistrust in your body feels like self-protection and self-preservation in this weird and almost twisted way (at least in my experience) #but then you start mistrusting *everything* and nothing feels... GOOD or NORMAL anymore #i'm going to play mahjong about this 🫡👍

Was Squilf happy that her apprentice got with her grandchild? Did she set them up/is it common in BB for older family members and mentors to "recommend" mates? Not like an arranged marriage thing but more like your aunt going "you know my old apprentice Dudeheart, well, he has a son that's such a bright and courteous young man, I really think you two might have a lot to talk about"

It's SUPER common, probably making up a solid percentage of matches-made. That's just how it is in a society that heavily values making connections between its members; everyone's got The Auntie who's trying to introduce you to handsome and responsible suitors.

Rosetail actually paired up her son Redtail with Runningwind. I feel like she was a great matchmaker in her time, but I haven't yet picked any others she paired up. Maybe Lionheart and Frostfur! That could be cute!

But I'm not sure if Squilf did matchmaking for Spark and Holly. They were actually kithood friends and had the seeds of romance long before they blossomed.

When Sparkpelt explains this to Nightheart someday, she'll describe it as something that was always there, as right as the drops that slumber within a fat cloud. Even before it drizzles, its nature is simply to rain.

#Something I try to balance is that canon often slaps apparentices with young mentors #But in BB that would be avoided like the fucking plague #Mentors are supposed to be old experienced and connected #Because in BB they serve an INVALUABLE social purpose #They're literally responsible for turning a child into a well-adjusted adult #And expected to forge connections that the apprentice will maintain their whole lives #So really it makes more sense that not all warriors get the honor #And getting your first apprentice is more likely to happen at 5 years than the bare minimum in BB which is 2 or 3 years. #It's no mistake that Dove ends up going to Shadow where her mentor Birchfall has a TON of friends. Including Smokefall and Talonclaw. #Better bones au #Mentorships #Matchmaking

Getting 4.5 hours of sleep is a hobby of mine, a passion, a real talent I have

#coincidentally it is also my bare minimum to feel functional during the day #not good - mind you - but functional #if I get less than 4 i get super nauseous and can’t concentrate #if i get 4.5 for more than 3 days in a row I also get nauseous and can’t concentrate

There's something really depressing about seeing the number of people trying to proclaim Max Verstappen as some kind of "feminist icon" for his comments about F1 Academy.

Has he correctly identified some of the limitations with F1 Academy? Yes.

Is he just another man sitting in his ivory tower and casting judgements on the efforts other people are making to try and take steps forward, whilst simultaneously having no intention or inclination to offer any help or assistance in fixing things? Also yes.

Everyone KNOWS that F1 Academy is flawed, but when you're working with a stacked deck against you, it's impossible to implement the perfect solution the first time, or even the second time. In fact the fact it's got flaws is all the more reason to vocally support the series, because aside from funding, the biggest stumbling block women in motorsports face is visibility, and none of these flaws are going to be effectively ironed out until people in positions of power can see that there is an interest and a thirst for women in racing.

If Max wants to be a "feminist icon" and help be the change he wants to see, then the best thing Max can do is turn up to the F1A races, support the drivers and use his large platform to help lobby for the improvements. The worst thing he can do, is offer quotes to journalists that denigrate the foundations being laid.

#f1 #formula 1 #anti verstappen #His quote that everyone was gushing over #Was honestly more unhelpful than it was supportive in my opinion #Stop applauding the absolute bare minimum

[xoxoemynn]

Really need people to examine why they're so insistent Ed can't read when we have evidence of him being able to do so SINCE SEASON ONE.

#emynn.op #can't believe I'm STILL seeing this shit #we see documents all over Ed's desk #we see him read the namecard at the party in 1x05 #there is more evidence to suggest that he CAN read than that he can't #so......why #please tell me exactly why #go on #going to need you to at least bare minimum not do that on my posts kthxbye #ANYWAY #ofmd #fandom fuckery

[omg-snakes]

This was an "interesting" exhibit. A canebreak rattlesnake, a southern copperhead, and an eastern rat snake all cohabitated at the California Academy of Sciences.

I realize they're in an educational facility and these snakes have overlapping habitats, but I didn't see many places for them to get away from each other and I wasn't impressed by the enclosure size or decor.

This display gave me an uneasy feeling. Hopefully I'm just wrong.

#snake #snakes #reptile #reptiles #reptiblr #rattlesnake #California Academy of Sciences #the rat snake was sleeping in the back #I was actually pretty unimpressed by many of their enclosures #which was a bit disappointing because tickets were $40 and you'd think they could afford more than bare minimum enrichment #the fish seemed very well cared for #the birds and reptiles were iffy

most popular headcanon for impulse: demon / imp of some variety

what demons are famous for: soul dealing (among other things of course but this is the relevant one)

question: did impulse sense/notice something going on when mumbo and grian did the soul thing in hc8?

follow up question: what was his reaction?

#this is so funny to me. mumbo and grian have just had one of the weirdest interactions of their friendship and they’re probably going to try #and avoid talking/thinking about it for the rest of their lives but impulse immediately clocks them #and there goes that idea #i’ve been thinking about this interaction recently. a lot. i dont think i ever really stop thinking about it but like even more than usual. #you can probably tell. #impulse with his back to the door sensing 2 souls nearby: hey you two #mumbo: it’s just me actually #impulse: errm… what the scallop #<- he would not fucking say that i know #my post #hermitcraft #mumbo jumbo #grian #impulsesv #waffleduo #hermitcraft 8 #i do have more serious thoughts about this but i need to get the bare minimum out into the world first #also we need a proper name for that interaction

me when ppl don't like mai: but...she's gloomy. and...she sighs a lot.

No shade to Nadja, but in season 1 Nandor brought Guillermo to a normal hospital after accidentally dropping him and not to a fucked up euthanasia obsessed veterinarian wannabe.

#no wonder Nadja and Laszlo can't keep a familiar alive for more than an episode #meanwhile Nandor is out there doing the bare fucking minimum and winning #what we do in the shadows #wwdits #wwdits shitpost
