shhhhshshhh I reblog things here.

If you decided to look at this tumblr this is epoch-smog's side blog, my cabinet if you will. Literally sorry to everyone I reblog from.

okay when I (re)made tumblr I was literally screaming into a void and wasn't really expecting people to follow this blog lol

This is my side tumblr where I'll throw all kinds of reblogs. Basically cataloguing things to find stuff later or just stuff I like. Sometimes I reblog things on the spot, most of the time it'll be running on queue. Que runs 24 hours

This is not a singular fandom blog. I also will tag random things as OC stuff and character stuff LMAO

Let the shit post die basil - shitpost idea maybe saving it for later, mostly telling myself not to do it. I think I have weird humor.

Basil video - i screen record me reading stuff and i like to save it because often times it’s just me laughing really hard.

shirt collection - I really love shirts that say garbage. It started with foreign shirts with english print that say some bangers.

“Isn’t it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal” I mean, there’s a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn’t have enough poison in it.

Humans have a really weird mix of mundane superpowers.

We’re not fast and don’t have a lot of natural weaponry but we’re bizarrely tolerant to a broad range of toxins to the point that one toxin is considered a morning necessity for some to perform at work. Gotta love us.

05.26 - Within the Ice

[ID: An astronaut crouches on a large, iced over body of water within a low cave. The astronaut is down on one knee, visor angled down, one hand planted on the surface of the ice while the other holds a brightly burning neon red flare overhead. The light is reflected directly below, in the ice, and directly above, in dull pink patches on the low cave ceiling. The arc of the ceiling mirrors a wide curve of dull pink in the ice, just below the reflection of the flare itself. The curve, upon closer examination, is the spread fingers of a giant, reaching, clawed hand, at least three times the size of the astronaut. /end ID]

CW: antisemitism, pale of settlement, pogroms, genocide, cultural erasure

I don’t think goyim can really conceive of how much Jews actually hold back in our criticism of antisemitism in media, and when you hear us it is often because we see a dangerous message that you don’t… Yet.

I have a complicated relationship with Tim Burton’s rendition of The Corpse Bride. I love it as a beautiful piece of stop motion art, but it isn’t what it should have been, he took a Jewish story from the Pale and with intention stripped it of its Jewish origins. This alone is incredibly antisemitic. The criticism you will hear has probably been “this is a Jewish story, it should have retained its Jewish elements” but have you heard why we feel strongly about this story?

The story of the corpse bride is incredibly important to me and was born from Jewish trauma and Christian violence. Mobs would routinely attack Jewish weddings, they would murder brides and they would bury them in unmarked graves by the roadside still in their wedding clothes, they reasoned that without Jewish wives there are no Jewish mother’s. Jews are intrinsic to the story.

It is antisemitism to take our story, about our pain, at the hands of non-jews and strip it for “useful” parts, in fact it is heartbreaking every time.

We are often forced to pick our battles and fighting a battle over a movie that has already been released by a director with a cult following is not worth it, you only hear us speak up in numbers when the antisemitism may lead to another century of violence, because raising our voice means picking a fight, because so many of you already see our pain as inconvenient and it is exhausting to never be heard.

-anyone can reblog

Reminding everyone that antisemitism is one word. No space, no hyphen. Semitic is a linguistic category, a language can be Semitic but people can’t be.

The term antisemitism was popularised by white supremacists who wanted to replace the term JudenHaas (Jew Hatred) and make their hatred of Jews sound more scientific. The term antisemitism was popularised by the proto-fascist Wilhelm Marr in his 1879 pamphlet, “The Way to Victory of Germanism over Judaism,”.

This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t use the term antisemitism, but you should use it correctly, knowing that it has only ever meant hatred of Jews and can only mean this. It’s been the term under which thousands of years of violence against Jews was codified into and justified by the new antisemitism of the 20th century and onwards.

(Tumblr don’t nuke this addition again, it’s educational and written by a Jew…. Me…. to explain correct use of terms)

In an interesting turn of events I have been enrolled in a six hour couples bondage seminar despite being both 1. painfully single and 2. Incredibly anxious but fuck it we ball, I guess

benjaminbadger: "How on earth can you enter that situation unexpectedly?"ALT

I thought “Excellent, I’ve been looking for more formal training in this area” so I signed up and then twenty minutes later the hamster running the wheel that powers my brain woke up and I went “ah shit, I need a date for this don’t I”

Screenshot of a comment with the user's URL cut out: "lol not kink shaming, just like, confused. Seminars don't seem like a kink thing, y'know?"ALT

Totally understandable thought! But do consider:

You can choke someone unconscious in just 15 seconds. Temporary or permanent brain damage can then occur within 30 seconds. After 3 minutes, the brain will shut down and they will die.

And yet, plenty of people think getting choked in bed is sexy, and will attempt it without any research whatsoever.

Did you know that using binding materials that are too thin can cause lacerations? Or that tying someone in the wrong position can kill them? Did you know that just surface pressure held too long, without any struggling or pulling, can feel like a bone-deep bruise? Or alternatively, that too much slack or movement can strip skin right off, and you might not even feel it happening?

Sitting in a big room writing down notes and following an instructor really isn’t all that sexy for me personally, true, but a lot of kink comes with risk, and making the concious choice to engage in kink without taking steps to minimize that risk is, frankly, dangerous and irresponsible.

Like…. every sky diving attendant probably had to pass a few exams before jumping out a plane with you, right? So wouldn’t you feel a little unsafe jumping with one that was just making it up as they went?

I have an end-of-life patient to whom I spoke today. She burst out laughing and said, “It was all such fun. I just had so much fun.” I wish this for everyone. I wish that we each would meet death laughing, with little regret and even less fear.
