#where is my check tho

[pancakeke]

Posting because I initially joined this lawsuit because I saw it here on tumblr, and also this is the first news I've heard about this thing in a long time.

If any of you joined that Illinois class action lawsuit against Facebook for illegal use of biometric (in this case facial recognition) data, watch your mail and do not throw out any envelopes that look like this or are sent from this address. My husband just today got a check for nearly $400 as part of the settlement.

More info about the lawsuit and settlement here. But the jist is: you had to sign up by November 23, 2020 to enter a claim. Checks started mailing out on May 9, 2021. The checks are for between $200 and $400.

love when men cry about body hair bc "it's hygiene" and yet 15% of cis men leave the bathroom without washing their hands at all and an additional 35% only just wet their hands without using soap. that is nearly half of all men. that means statistically you have probably shaken hands with or been in direct contact with one of these people.

love when men say that women "only want money" when it turns out that even in equal-earning homes, women are actually adding caregiver burdens and housework from previous years, whereas men have been expanding leisure time and hobbies. in equal-earning households, men spend an average of 3.5 hours extra in leisure time per week, which is 182 hours per year - a little over a week of paid vacation time that the other partner does not receive. kinda sounds like he wants her money.

love that men have decided women are frail and weak and annoying when we scream in surprise but it turns out it's actually women who are more reliable in an emergency because men need to be convinced to actually take action and respond to the threat. like, actually, for-real: men experience such a strong sense of pride about their pre-supposed abilities that it gets them and their families killed. they are so used to dismissing women that it literally kills them.

love it. told my father this and he said there's lies, damned lies, and statistics. a year ago i tried to get him to evacuate the house during a flash flood. he ignored me and got injured. he has told me, laughing, that he never washes his hands. he has said in the last week that women are just happier when we're cooking or cleaning.

maybe i'm overly nostalgic. but it didn't used to feel so fucking bleak. it used to feel like at least a little shameful to consider women to be sheep. it just feels like the earth is round and we are still having conversations about it being flat - except these conversations are about the most obvious forms of patriarchy. like, we know about this stuff. we've known since well before the 50's.

recently andrew tate tried to justify cheating on his partner as being the "male prerogative." i don't know what the prerogative for the rest of us would be. just sitting at home, watching the slow erosion of our humanity.

#writeblr #warm up #ps edited so it is more clear where “half” of men is coming from: #15% literally don't even touch water #an ADDITIONAL 35% ''wash'' by just running their hands under water WITHOUT SOAP #15+35 =50% #like that is not washing ur hands. go back and use soap #btw the numbers for women are 4% never washing and 15% ''just water'' #which is still gross but like. sooo much better yikes #ps i know we're all gay on this site but watching ppl ''correct'' my math on this has been wild #i have a learning disability im genuinely bad at math so i check EVERY time someone corrects me #but no they're just confidently wrong..... #182 hours is a week babes. 182/24 (number of hours in a day) is ~7.6 #that's where i got that number from. also from rent we know there's 168 hours in a week. #ALSO btw if u read this and ur response is ''men are also struggling rn tho'' like babe you missed the point of it tho #this doesn't even make fun of men it's legit just pointing out that bigotry against women isn't founded #in anything men actually CARE about . like they don't actually CARE about ''being clean'' when they make fun of armpit hair #or they would be WASHING THEIR HANDS. #men pretend to be rollin' in cash and Apex Predators and instead they are trained to be lazy and unwilling to act in emergencies #i have never and will never make fun of men for asking for more support on important topics like DV and mental health. #this is so clearly not about men; it's about how common just being plainly misogynistic has become. #like they don't try to hide it anymore.

Spock's knowledge of musicals come from Amanda, I believe that it was just their thing. Mother and son bonding and a secret from Sarek who beloved that the entire concept of it was illogical.

Spock's knowledge on Pirates and cowboys were purely taught to him by Michael. Michael was told by Sarek to teach Spock about humanity and little miss I've only ever lived on a space station my entire life went, yes these two things are what Spock needs to know about.

Spock was disappointed at the lack of cowboys at the academy.

#michael burnham #star trek #s'chn t'gai spock #star trek discovery #star trek snw #spock #that one episode of TOS where Spock just spews facts about Cowboys for the entire episode haunts my dreams #star trek tos #my theory about Pirates checks out tho #both of them mention Pirates #amanda grayson #ambassador sarek #sarek

older Snape fans, what are your oldest works like?

i’m curious 🤭

found the old display book where i stored my second (and longest)(and unfinished) fanfic and i’ll have you know the highlight was Severus stabbing a dragon in the throat with a poisoned dagger to save Hogwarts, in front of everyone 🙌🏻

he was able to jump on the dragon because he had ✨angel wings✨ black covered in ebony feathers, of course 🖤

and every chapter had deep poetic introductory quotes bc i was a dramatic teenager.

#the whole thing is an emo cringe fest #after that feat he has to go into hiding bc he has thwarted the dark lord’s plans #the wings were already a consequence of a malediction by Voldie + following suicide attempt 🤷🏻‍♀️ #(the fic was set right after the end of the 4th book) #and the only place he can hide is remus’ house where sirius is already hiding #no snirius tho they hate each other #and the geography of magic teacher is already after him #i was already drawing him like a girl haha #found a drawing from 2010 yesterday and thought wow i haven’t progressed at all that’s what happens when you never practice #but looking at those it seems i *did* progress between 2003 and 2010 #also we had to spend hours in the library checking encylopaedias and stuff about plants #because the internet was virtually inexistent in boarding school D: #severus snape #pro snape #snape fanfiction #snape community #my art #old art

The new meds I'm on have, as far as I can tell, caused my hands to be very weak, to the point that I can't tension this thin sock yarn :/ I'm in the gussets of sock 2 but the sock is definitely bigger and a thinner fabric.

Im... not positive what to do (whether to frog or not, or maybe just switch to a worsted weight project?) Other than tell the doctor this shit is not good.

#if i frog its a full day of knitting wasted #i also really would like these socks tho. i need another good pair... #i did say id knit a thick pair of socks for my sister and thats the only other project i can think of #my hands also hurt so bad from attempting to tension anyway #also. i ASKED the doc what the side effects would be ! #and she said 'just your standard NSAID side effects' #well i checked the page and no they are fucking not. they are not at all and also have huge glaring warnings saying #DONT TAKE IF YOU DONT RESPOND WELL TO OTHER NSAIDS #i am allergic to nsaids and she knows that and i told her that as she was prescribing it to me and she brushed it off #pain management clinic where they put you in more pain. great. #disability #knitting #i am desperately hoping its my meds and the timing would make sense #if my hands just do this now i will cry

I rly don’t see how ppl be 20+ shipping kids anymore tbh… like, it’s so rampant and I don’t see the appeal to it anymore being as tho I’m in my late 20’s.

#I’m grown….. it always baffles me to see it like man I don’t care I don’t find joy in it anymore since I’m not a teenager #I just look at them and think they’re like my fake son… daughter nephew niece whatever lol #give me the struggling and mentally fucked up 20+ year old give me those middle age bitches man if I’m going to like a ship now anyway #like i don’t care about the romance between kids man it sucks that this is such a huge thing in most fandom spaces #not that I participate in said spaces since ppl are annoying and embarrassing #also very nasty #sns is diff tho like that’s a whole other thing 🪽 #sns is just a classic it’s legendary it transcends space and time it it- #I’m so glad that jjk is full of adults tho lmfaoo #one of Gege’s only W’s… especially impressive for a shounen #i like jjk outside of the goiji pairings too like I just genuinely enjoy it despite how awful it is now lol #again #I do think that ppl need to learn how to become more comfortable with enjoying media outside of shipping tho #like there’s nothing wrong with it obviously but I’m talking more like how tons of ppl only get into a new series for the sole purpose #of shipping instead of engaging with said media and the story that it’s trying to tell… #this is why fanon and wild insane hc’s usually get out of control too to the point where those who might be interested in checking out #a series might be deterred because they don’t even know what the show is about because the only stuff that ppl see about the thing is ship #stuff and like discourse #and the behavior of the fans… #these ppl be 30+ arguing with teenagers man it’s crazy to me #I just think there needs to be a balance lol #like still go crazy. Have fun and all but you get it #but anyway. with all that being said! Goiji stays winning in my heart 🚶🏾‍♀️ #rambling

[volivolition]

heyheyheyheyhey. Voli. Plz make Authroity propaganda too I want him to win

hi! so uh. i don't have a solid design for Authority yet (besides "oh buddy you would not survive the ides of march, huh?") and also i love Esprit (skill of community and connections to like-minded people... camaraderie! being part of a group! my friend) and also this is not the main poll im focusing on at the moment [INTENSE ADHD CREATURE STARING AT VOLITION] but hell yeah, im down to make little a silly thing for them!! as a treat <3

^ yay!! go vote for guys who i don't have solid designs for~!! [tinny yippee sound effect]

WHITE CHECK: CONCEPTUALIZATION [IMPOSSIBLE] - Draw convincing Authority propaganda. +1 Love drawing the skills -1 Haven't slept yet -1 Haven't designed him yet -1 Haven't written his Character Study Chapter yet -2 Past attempts looked like UnderfelI Papyrus... -2 Rooting for Esprit?? -3 ROOTING FOR SHIVERS -5 Hyperfocus trained on Volition -5 AND VOLITION IS LOSING 😭

CONCEPTUALIZATION [Impossible: Failure] - What do you mean failure? No, it's simple, watch how naturally it comes to you. Just take the psyche purple, shade in the dark eye sockets, touches of glowing white pupils, a stern expression, awful eyebags, just darken the center of the face as a whole, add the… broken… crown...

CONCEPTUALIZATION - OH GODDAMMIT, that's just Crownhead again. This has Implications for your personal fanfic universal canon lore that you are unsure how to contend with right now. Sorry, your creativity has officially clocked out. A doodle will have to suffice.

#propaganda to me is just. draw the skill. there you go! usually some kind of call to action but since im an esprit guy thats probably not #the message you want hdkjh... #listen. authority is very important! he has integral checks in the game! he says very funny lines sometimes and i think hes neat! #but as a guy who is. frightened of confrontation. to the point where i dont even like dms? authority is not the guy i often go to :'] #''TAKE CHARGE!! ASSERT YOUR DOMINANCE!!! GET UP IN THEIR FACE!!!!'' ''i'd really rather not :'] thank you tho authority!! ;-;'' #auth is referred to as ''lieutenant'' here! volition is ''captain'' (my harry's signature skill!) and empathy is ''yefreitor'' #(em actually has the most natural skill points but turns down leadership. he opts for being voli's right hand instead! besties :]) #sorry i was definitely not the best guy to go to for this i have to admit hkjhd <3 im personally rooting for shivers as the overall winner! #with optional places for empathy volition and echem (<- ough. echem hkjhg...) and like. any motorics skill. i love the motorics lmao #best of luck tho!!! <3 #volta transmissions #voliart

@inhcritance liked for a starter! (clone-ish shenanigans!!)

Harry Osborn is no stranger to waking up in strangely familiar places, whether that's the bed of the random person he went home with the night before, or, more recently, his bed -- in another universe. Somehow, he can always tell he's not in his home universe just by the way the sheets feel. Sometimes, they're a nice silk, othertimes an annoying microfiber cotton.

And, unfortunately, today is one of those days where he wakes up in a bed that something in him tells him is his, but not. He just hope this universe's Harry is, for lack of better words, living.

The ones where he's not are always harder to be in. He's a walking corpse in his own universe thanks to the botched Spider-Serum he'd attempted to make, but sometimes it's worse when that's literal.

He also hopes that he's not, well, currently dating someone. That'll make things awfully awkward.

"At least I'm not made of paint," he says.

#inhcritance #v: multiverse #the 'verse where everything is happy and nothing bad happened ever. except for everything bad thats happened to him bc oscorp - #-started dabbling in multiversal travel #also i have Not finished sm2 but im not scared of spoilers if u worry abt that lol #i'm TRYING to finish it but i havent had the time rly #i Am already in love with that harry tho. and ur harry!!! #also -- i know in ur rules the way u format ur posts; would u like me to bold my dialogue as well for accessibility reasons or is it just-- #--stylistic choice?? either way is fine with me!! i just wanna double check <3 #ALSO ALSO. sorry im so normal. anyways. idk where ur harry in relation to mine but i imagine he's at least close enough to hear/see mine -- #--just. appearing out of nowhere.

bones have been washed with hand soap and water. not a whole lot of degreasing to do since they’re pretty old and a lot of it has been done by nature already but they could definitely use some. gotta find a container to put them in and i will start degreasing 👍

#still don’t know what animal they’re from #looking a little more closely at the inside of the bones i’m less confident that it’s a mammal? idk the difference between bird and mammal #bone lattice structures but yeah i’m a little less confident about it being a mammal now #they do seem kinda big for a chicken though. we do have wild turkeys around here but the bones seem a little small in that regard #and they almost NEVER come up and wander around neighborhoods like where i found the bones #i’ll have to check if the vulture culture subreddit is still up and running bc i feel like they’re my best bet for id at this point #gonna wait until the bones are dry tho i didn’t feel like drying them with a towel lmao #(normally you would just go straight to degreasing but these had obviously been there for a while and were covered in dirt so i just wanted #to wash most of the mud and shit off of them before i start degreasing) #rambles

[basoogil]

what he thinkin of hrrrmmm

yeah so i wanted to mess around with putting random memes and doodles in the background and i got slightly carried away. it was fun tho :)

#the “gay thoughts? in MY mind?” is my favourite addition #hrmmmm maybe i should reuse it as soon as i start drawing data fanart bc it fits him very well too #even more so actually since its a “free pc check” lmao #do not ask why i added the markipliers #spock #star trek #star trek fanart #star trek the original series #myart #star trek tos #st tos #tos spock #ohno the more i look at this the more i realise i did one of those jacked text thingies where you dont know which order to read the words i #could say “what he thinking of?” OR “what thinking he of?” im not gonna change it tho its funny

hi guys i still remember the swap au exists. heroes comic isn’t going anywhere but take a look at amy. also an idea for iblis the light, and also, a bit of sonic.

#my art #amy rose #sonic the hedgehog #iblis the light #swap au #sonamy #every time i redo amy's design she gets a little more naked #i think i'm finally satisfied with this one tho #also sonic 06 is a Whole mess which i don't really want to fully untangle for this au #but i really like the ideas i have around amy in silver's role #she's like some sort of an oracle in the future. which is clouded over with eternal darkness bc mephiles #she's got clairvoyance/mild foresight which helps her survive. even when it's too dark to see she can still 'see' #maybe she's some kind of beacon of hope for other survivors or maybe she's a loner. haven't decided #either way she's just about the only one keeping mephiles slightly in check #and it Sure Is Stressful #then this glowy fuck Iblis shows up and tells her she can fix all of this for the low low price of killing this one dude #turns out foresight is an excellent counter to shadow's teleportation bc she can just attack where he's Going to be #also some real confusing emotions when she develops a crush on the guy whose face iblis stole
