#the debacle continues

[gaiussleechtank]

There'll be a shit ton of miscommunication when Arthur returns, purely based on the different time periods.

For exanple:

Arthur being a pissy prat

Merlin flips him off

Arthur, scsndalised: You will do no such thing!

Merlin now confused: what?

Merlin then realises that the meaning of the middle finger has changed over time, and that Arthur believes that Merlin is threatening to fuck him, when Merlin is in fact saying 'go fuck yourself'.

Merlin: wait hold on-

Arthur then ignores him: I won't join your bed until at least a month of courtship, I may not be king anymore but I was raised a gentleman.

Merlin now shocked and surprised at what Arthur is saying: o-okay

+ accidental boyfriend acquired

#This is pure and utter shit #I will continue to post said shit because it's funny #Arthur doesnt actually wajt the full month #Merlins just surprised that it happened like that #merlin #bbc merlin #arthur pendragon #bbc merthur #merthur #merlin x arthur #The whole middle fonger debacle

Mike Rogers being held back after he "lunged" (cnn's words, not mine*) at Matt Gaetz

oh, republican infighting, you love to see it.

*I do not think "lunged," nor any interpretation of this event that states or implies Rogers was going to physically attack Gaetz, is an accurate description of what happened. I've written more about this here.

#it's over. mccarthy has won and democracy can continue. #if any images from this whole debacle should me memeified. it should be that last one #(ok and also that image of McCarthy sadly standing in front of a shut door) #thank FUCK for Andrew Harnik taking that photo bc the person filming the video was too focused on McCarthy and turned away #us politics #us house speaker #us house of representatives #mike rogers #top tino post #santagno

GOP sowing: Haha fuck democracy!!! Yes!!

GOP reaping: Can't run our fucking democracy. What the fuck.

(AKA a tale of two January 6ths)

#us politics #speaker of the house #I shouldn't continue to post about this but maybe coping through humor and note page annihilation is the only way at this point #Cause I really thought this would be like a one day debacle #But it just keeps going huh #Anyway let's give it up for vote 13 everybody #Surely it will work THIS time

Good morning, what the fuck

[werewolf-cuddles]

So, still thinking through the whole gender thing. Gonna be honest, not that much closer to figuring it out than I was last night.

I've looked into a few different labels, trying to figure out if any of them are right for someone who identifies mostly but not entirely as male. I don't think I'd call myself non-binary, that label feels a little too strong for me.

Demiboy might be more appropriate, maybe? Though genderqueer might also work. I'm still not entirely sure, and part of me can't help but worry that as soon as I find a label, I'll realize it doesn't fit and make myself look foolish again.

#the ''cuddles tries to figure out their gender'' arc continues #of course at the end of this i could just realize #''nope. still cis.'' #and i'll feel very silly about this whole debacle

[drawnaghht]

can't believe the whole yuichi usagi side of the tmnt fandom is synchonizing this week bc guess what; I also have another "Usagi is his first name" post in the works lol

#anyway. what's up fandom #srtuc #yuichi usagi #not up for discourse or debate but we can discuss it in a calm way #i've seen way too many confused and angry twt threads abt this and then the tumblr reblog threads... augh #not a big deal but i will adress some of it in larger writing i guess #in general tho imo fans should refer to both the og work and it's intent #and if japanese or japanese american fans come along and say that might be wrong #so be it #texty #aghht fantalk #the usagi name debacle #that was my tag at some point and it will continue to be lol

[adonis-koo]

Does Twitter ever get tired of being mad???

#missy rambles #I’m sorry but this whole private jet Taylor swift debacle #is the stupidest thing I’ve seen in a VERY long time #why don’t we hold cooperate accountable the way we hold celebrities?? #like yknow the people who ACTUALLY harm the planet and will continue to do so and profit off of it #and then blame us despite ethical consumption in American being impossible #this shit is getting so old

[sunshineduo]

annoying how when the dteam spends like half an hour talking shit about scott and hbomb and hating on the event and everyone finds it hilarious but when the admins say 2 sentences about them it’s ‘how dare they’

like it’s always ‘it’s just for fun’ when glitches work in their favour or they cross team but the second something goes wrong for them everyone rushes to hate on the admins

yes bc its Hot when the dream team cheat to win. hope this helps

#like ? what do u want me to say #its hardly comparable since dream + sap actually issued an apology #and despite that apology people asked for them to be removed from the event + continue to call them toxic players over a year later #george never apologized for the silver shittalkers debacle but hes british so i guess that cancels out ! #but people want to turn this into dteam fans throwing a hissy fit over a glitch when the thing people are upset about is #the admins being assholes on stream + not taking any responsibility for it on the account that they were targeting dream/dream fans #likw it was just a loser moment for them. embarrassing #especially when THEY were the ones passing judgments on whether someone is professional or not 💀 #anyway dream saying that the h in hb*mb stands for hacking is still so funny to me i think about it everytim i see his name #thanks for the ask! #discourse

@freekzout: hmm. maybe it’s that bump on your head. (ruth)

memes, accepting

ruth’s inspection determined it was the size of an egg. august, hellbent on retaining his ‘patient patient’ title, bit his tongue. good patients didn’t throw tantrums. good patients were a breeze. and the boy molds himself likewise. (socked feet kicked upon couch. copper gaze fixed to her gold chain.)

he felt okay. a little dazed, a little slow to answer.

maybe it’s that bump on your head.

I think what's fascinating about this whole Unity debacle is how clear it makes something.

The entire C-suite of every company on earth are idiots.

That's not hyperbole, they are people serially uninterested in becoming informed and constitutionally incapable of hearing they're wrong about something. They build a thick shell of unreality and assure themselves they can direct any human venture even if they know nothing of how the enterprise in question works or how its' customers interact with it.

They had it. They were THE tool for learning to build games and even worked for larger projects. Producers and consumers alike knew Unity as a trusted albeit occasionally teased household name.

And they fucked their institutional trust like a university of Florida fraternity pledge strung out on something called "gator blood" fucks a supermarket turkey.

And it isn't even just Unity - look at Twitter, the smoking ruin of something once synonymous with the digital commons. It isn't just Twitter - look at grocery prices.

Our "business leaders", our "movers and shakers" don't know what they're doing. An MBA is taken as a stand-in for competence and knowledge. Because the neo-feudal overlords can never hear no.

The enshittification continues.

[batshit-auspol]

have we talked about the woolworths debacle yet?

Sigh.

Alright kids strap in, because the culture wars are back and stupider than ever.

So there are two characters you need to be familiar with in this story before we continue:

Woolies (i.e. Woolworths) - One of two supermarket chains in Australia. Not related to the giant Woolworths chain that used to exist overseas, other than the Aussie one swiped the name because the original forgot to trademark the name 'Woolworths' here. Biggest company in Aus, and also the biggest employer. Not a brand anyone with more than two braincells would pick a fight with.

Peter Dutton - Man with less than two braincells, and current leader of the political opposition in Australia. Best known for bearing a passing resemblance to a potato and once demanding that a homophobic song get played for balance when a football halftime show performed 'Same Love'. His reputation is so bad that if you told an Australian that Dutton's favorite pastime was drowning puppies, they probably would believe you.

And to prove our point, here's the best headline a friendly newspaper could come up with to try spin his image:

The third thing you need to know is that in Australia we have a national holiday called "Australia Day" which is basically a scheduled day for everyone to get into a giant argument.

This is because for the last 30ish years it has been held on the anniversary of the British claiming the land around Sydney as a colony which was:

a) More the founding of an English prison then the founding of Australia, and more importantly

b) from the perspective of the people who were already living here, kindof a very shit day

Now not everyone agrees on this, and even those that don't 'celebrate' will often still have a get together with friends, but it can't be denied that we've shifted a long way from the days when the country used to celebrate Australia Day by kitting ourselves out in Aussie flag budgie smugglers, drinking enough beer to drown Harold Holt, and partying like it's 1789.

(Now a brief break for a real photo of Peter Dutton at a press conference)

Good luck sleeping tonight. Anyway back to the story.

As a result of this shift away from the trend of showing your patriotism by wearing Australian flag underpants, this year Woolworths decided that they were no longer going to be rolling out their box of southern cross thongs - on the grounds that "this kitschy shit never sells" and they are far too busy with more important things like blaming price gouging on inflation and installing self-checkout machines that think your canvas bag is a crime against humanity.

Never a man to miss an opportunity to act like a massive twat, upon hearing that Woolies had dumped their flag merch, Peter Dutton rushed onto the airwaves to declare that Woolworths had "gone woke" (paging 4chan circa 2009) and called for the country to boycott the store, a story which Australia's media have gleefully put on loudhale for over a week now in order to drive outrage clicks.

We at this point remind you that Woolworths is a company which, as we previously mentioned, basically has a monopoly on selling food in this country. Not exactly something you can boycott.

(Another real Dutton photo break)

Needless to say Dutton's dumbass plan did not immediately put Woolies out of business, however the relentless media campaign by Rupert Murdoch's minions did result in a bunch of innocent low-wage floor staff being harrassed by The Dark Lord's fanboys and a few Woolies stores were graffitied.

Allegedly being the 'free market' guy, Dutton also kindof snookered himself by demanding the free market not decide the fate of Australia day, but logic was never one of his strong suits.

Anyway, in the end we're just going to keep having this dumb circular argument every year, fulled by a media who love fanning the flames, until a politician has the guts to shift the date to May 8 (pronounced m8), and everyone promptly forgets this was ever a thing.

All in all, that's the long and the short of it. As a final touch we'll leave you with this real tweet by Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, in all its batshit glory.

We look forward to the absolute dumpster fire of comments this post is going to generate - as is the Australia Day tradition.

Hot Tatted Uncles (Uncle!SukunaAu X Teacher!Reader)

I’ve fallen victim to the unkuna/uncle sukuna au so HAVE THIS

PART 2 UP NOW!!! <------- Click the link here!

_____________________________________________________

“My uncle be fighting people.” Yuji hums, your gaze immediately shooting to the toddler.

“O-Oh really?” You gulp, knowing kids say the wildest things but after you’re first encounter with the pink-hair boy's uncle, you would put it past him.

“Yeah, he. He told me uh-um-.” The boy sniffed, wiping his nose with the back of his hand, to which you sigh and directed him to the sink as he continues his story

“Uh- he told me that he beat up this guy and he- uh he won and that the guy lost.”

You fight the urge to laugh, his sentence seeming so long and incomplete. Typical toddler.

“Well we don’t fight our friends right Yuji? You be good and keep your hands to yourself?” You encourage, ruffling the boy's hair as he smiles, one of the fronts missing.

“Yeah! We use nice hands.” Yuji repeats, leaving you with your thoughts as he grabs ahold of a car to play with.

Why would you tell a 2-year-old you beat someone up?! You sigh, scrolling through your contacts, making a note to speak with his father, even though the boy hadn't done anything, it's still concerning that he might feel as if that’s okay since his uncle does it.

It’s quiet for a moment, your other three students Nobara, Megumi, and Mahito playing together….and then it happens.

WHAM!

A still silence falls over the room and soon a roar of cries as Mahito holds the top of his head. In all honestly the child was a problem so whatever he did to get smacked over the head with a wooden block was probably warranted. But the bigger problem was that you biggest fear had come to fruition. Yuji, had hit and essentially started to fight with another child, as Mahito had hit him back. You’d definitely need to speak to his father now.

The rest of the children had gone home now, Yuji being your last child as you closed your classroom down. Your class usually ended around 6:00 and it was pushing 6:15 now. Just as you were about to make your courtesy call, the door opened with the jingle of keys and a throaty chuckle.

"Look at you, giving your teacher a hard time?" The tatted male asks, scooping up a giggling Yuji with a toothy grin. You, however, were far from pleased, giving a tight-lipped smile as he just barely glances your way.

"Hi, I'm Miss Y/n, Yuji's teacher." You announce, taking a tissue to wipe Yuji's nose one last time before he left.

"Uh huh," He responds, grimacing as you wipe the snot away.

"So, Yuji had a pretty good day today, but I did have to have a chat with him about..fighting and hitting other friends." You explain, feeling smaller under his sharp gaze. His face is tatted too, the thick dark lines running along his nose, cheeks, and jawline.

"You in here beatin people up?" He states sharply at the boy who only nods with a smile.

"Yeah! Like how you said you beat everyone up!" Yuji admits ith joy and his Uncle's face falls.

"Yes so, before Yuji hit the other child he told me that you...fight people and I told him that we use our nice hands. But right after that, he had-" "Hit another kid. The parents mad?" He asks, a bit troubled now, most likely mentally cursing himself for kinda causing this whole debacle. \

"W-well I can't really disclose that. The point is, please just chat with him and hopefully, he can learn that's not okay." You explain, feeling a bit more relieved since the convo went smoother than usual. And part of you was a little... flustered with how seriously he was looking at you. You couldn't help but look at his tatted and flexed arm as he moved Yuji to sit on his shoulders.

"Yeah, well, here have my number so if anything else happens and I'm picking up you can just let me know." He hums, pulling his phone skillfully from his sweatpants pocket and

Holy shit...

You think to yourself, seeing the print just faintly. You swallow, taking the divide and inputting yoi contact.

The pair leaves, Your heart trobbbing as you take a breath. Being any type of romantically involved with your students' parents was highly unprofessional...but the rules never said anything about hot tattooed uncles.

-in the car-

Sukuna buckled Yuji into his seat, passing the child a happy meal he'd picked up as payment for a job well done.

"Nice work. How bout next time you mention your Uncles got no girlfriend either." He laughs, backing out of the parking space with your number and a grin.

Authors Note; Ok yes i wrote this on a whim I swear I'm trying to finish the stuff I had listed on my update post lmao

Also might make a part 2 for this cause I freaking love this au
