I think we can all agree that if Loki did one thing right, it was his single-handed destruction of the Once-ler fandom.

Level 1: There exists a single objectively correct translation, and all localisatons should use it.
Level 2: It’s impossible for a translation’s text ever to perfectly match the connotations and cultural context of the original text, so all translations are equally wrong.
Level 3: None of the original text’s readers brought the exact same set of assumptions and experiences to the act of reading it as the author brought to the act of writing it; before we can judge a translation as “right” or “wrong”, we have to ask: right or wrong from whose perspective?
Level 4: Localisation is effectively a work of original authorship, so translation choices cannot be “right” or “wrong” in the abstract; they can only be more or less suited for a particular purpose.
Level 5: Add more dick jokes.
Hm. I must say, I was very anti-sport before but after being on tumblr.com for a while I definitely identify with jocks. Unlike nerds, they’ve never made me read sherlock mpreg miscarriage on the Harry Potter train AU Masterposts. They only wanna kick their balls and take booty pics. I’m sorry i took u for granted, jocks
The jocks were only trying to protect us all this time
They pushed nerds into lockers when no one else did
[id: a 4chan post labelled ‘That Guy’. It reads:
>Playing DnD
>Wizard gets into a fight with an important NPC
>When
the wizard realizes who the NPC is, he apologizes and asks “As a token
of my goodwill, would you like me to make you a magical sword?”
>NPC agrees
>Wizard casts polymorph and turns them into a sword.
>Argues that the NPC shouldn’t have a will save because they agreed to it.]
hey guys fun fact “uwu take a bubble bath and eat chocolate” self care and “get out of bed and take a mcfucking shower” self care aren’t mutually exclusive and making fun of the former bc u think the only self care mentally ill people should practice is the latter is uh how do i say. Odd to say the least
im having a bad executive dysfunction day & i just hung up my clean laundry & put the dirty laundry in the washing machine for tomorrow & tidied up the kitchen (wiped down the counters+stovetop and washed the pots i used to make dinner) so now i’m going to drink chocolate milk and build a blanket fort nd play pokemon for the rest of the night as a reward. see how that works
#literally both ‘uwu self-care’ and ‘you need to do this self-care’ are reliant on each other??? #one is to take care of your physical needs/responsibilities and the other is to keep you from becoming overwhelmed while doing so #and yeah sometimes you CAN’T do something and sometimes uwu doesn’t work but hey when is anything 100% reliable?????

YES THANK YOU!
1. Please please pretty please stop assuming that uwu self care bloggers are a) neglecting our responsibilities to a degree that is unreasonable for our situation or b) advocating that others should do so. It bothers me so much to see people saying “But you can’t do that ALL the time!” when we’re not saying that.
2. If the reason why you don’t like relaxation posts is because you have trouble getting stuff done and you want help with that, OWN THAT. It is OK to need help with getting yourself to do cleaning, take a shower, etc. and not really need reminders to relax. It is not OK to act as if relaxation posts are about laziness when they serve a really important purpose for a ton of people – abled and disabled, neurotypical and neurodivergent.
trans woman: *genitals are used against her to ridicule her, humiliate her and very often as an excuse to enact direct violence against her*
cis man: *genitals are seen as completely normal, often even as a sign of power. will never suffer any kind of humiliation for having them except perhaps if he loses a size measuring contest with his friends*
“woke” “feminists” engaging in genital preference discourse: “These two are exactly the same”.
Growing up in an abusive household is a fucking trip dude……If you’ve never had someone angrily wash a dish at you or fold a sock in your direction then how are you gonna understand why I get nervous when you quietly do the laundry, or why I ask “are you mad at me?” when you set the bag of groceries down too hard? It’s a totally different way of living and it impacts you long after you’ve left the situation.
This is so important.
Abused kids speak a language you can’t learn
My heart races when I hear someone sigh and then the adrenaline takes forever to wear off. I hate having these reactions even when I know I am safe.
Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.— James 5:1-6
At first I thought this was an angry Tumblr post but then it turned out to be the Literal Bible and it got 1000x better

I am an Arctic researcher. Donald Trump is deleting my citations | Victoria Herrmann
As an Arctic researcher, I’m used to gaps in data. Just over 1% of US Arctic waters have been surveyed to modern standards. In truth, some of the maps we use today haven’t been updated since the second world war. Navigating uncharted waters can prove difficult, but it comes with the territory of working in such a remote part of the world.
Over the past two months though, I’ve been navigating a different type of uncharted territory: the deleting of what little data we have by the Trump administration.
At first, the distress flare of lost data came as a surge of defunct links on 21 January. The US National Strategy for the Arctic, the Implementation Plan for the Strategy, and the report on our progress all gone within a matter of minutes. As I watched more and more links turned red, I frantically combed the internet for archived versions of our country’s most important polar policies.
I had no idea then that this disappearing act had just begun.
Since January, the surge has transformed into a slow, incessant march of deleting datasets, webpages and policies about the Arctic. I now come to expect a weekly email request to replace invalid citations, hoping that someone had the foresight to download statistics about Arctic permafrost thaw or renewable energy in advance of the purge.
You know how people always lament the burning of the library of Alexandria? All that lost knowledge? How much greater civilization could’ve been if such knowledge hadn’t been destroyed?
We gonna keep letting that happen? 👀👀👀
