You Can Help Hammad Save His Family🍉‼️🫶🏻
VETTED BY ASSOCIATION; Hammad was referred to me through Safaa and her campaign (vetted by 90-ghost)
This campaign is created on behalf of a very valuable and dear friend of mine, Hammad A., who is dealing with devastating tragedy and loss that none of us in the empirical core could possibly begin to imagine.
Hammad is one of the most thoughtful, considerate, and hard-working people I know -- and while he has tried his best to provide for his family under these immensely difficult circumstances, he now needs our help to keep him and his family alive.
Picture this: Your life has been turned upside down instantly; everything you have worked your whole life for -- gone in an instant. Everything you once knew turned to rubble and destruction. Your home, where you grew up and created childhood memories with -- gone. Your job, where you dedicated your energy and effort into building a career you loved -- gone. The most basic necessities we take for granted -- warmth, fresh air, the ability to move around freely and safely -- ripped away from you.
These are only a few of the difficulties that Hammad and his family have been facing for over 464 days.
As you understand by now, there is only so much resilience the human body can endure, and the urgent need to do anything you can to save your family is the exact reason Hammad has allowed us the opportunity to help him and his family be freed from the immense suffering and stress they currently face.
His tent was recently flooded, damaging the little items that he had after losing everything, and destroying the little shelter he and his family had to protect them against the harsh elements.
Hammad needs your help NOW.
Even the smallest amount is so highly valuable in lifting a margin of stress from the weight of this tragedy off the shoulders of Hammad and his family. Your contributions to these lifesaving funds are invaluable.
Chuffed has a waiting period for processing and transferring funds. If you want your donation to IMMEDIATELY be sent to Hammad, paypal is linked below.
I hate when people say “I’m Spanish” like no that’s a language not a nationality
Astronomers are the funniest people on earth actually
A little nine and J drawing I made with some baseball cards I found on the ground that inspired me
me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit
mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters
me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU
"Mom, can we have 17776?" "No we have 17776 at home" 17776 at home: (Read at your own risk. There's only one (1) page that has actual dialogue, and it's very short.)
i see a lot of criticism towards 17776 along the lines of “ugh if humanity actually stopped aging or dying and people really did just live forever they would not spend their time playing football… that is not what EYE would do with MY time…. this is so unrealistic….. clearly the author just wanted to write about sports 🙄😒” and like. yeah. yes. exactly. jon bois is a sports writer and sports analyst who wanted to examine why people love sports and why sports have cultural staying power and why he especially finds sports compelling and what sports have to say about the human condition and our ability to care. so he made up a fake scenario about humans being immortal and then he made it about sports. and he wrote about sports. the story is titled ‘what sports will look like in the future.’ if that isn’t something that you can vibe with then maybe the story simply is not for you

space probes and football
I read 17776 about a week ago and besides being totally blown away and in love with the concept, it also got me thinking. Now I, being a fanfic lover (as many on this hellsite are), ran to ao3 for fan content as soon as I could. And, of course, I ran to Tumblr as well. And then I maybe fell down a wormhole.
Those who are familiar with the story will know that JUICE mentions this plaque on Pioneer Ten with naked people on it. We don't get a ton of context for that, so I obviously Wikipedia'ed it because what else was I supposed to do? Just accept the fact that a space probe had naked people on it and move on? I think not.
Here's a photo of the plaque, for reference:
So, to quickly break down everything on there, it's clearly a man and a woman in the nude, and then we have the hyperfine transition of hydrogen in the top left (don't ask me what that is; I have NO CLUE), a radial pattern to show the distance of pulsars to the sun and center of the galaxy?, and then, of course, the solar system at the bottom and a silhouette of the spacecraft at scale behind the people.
All this detail was reserved for two plaques: one on the Pioneer Ten and one on Pioneer Eleven, from 1972 and 1973 subsequently. At this point we've lost contact with both probes, whose purposes were pretty much to observe space and the solar system. The inclusion of the plaques was purely to provide some sort of information on the Earth if the probes were at any point encountered by intelligent alien life.
Next I want to turn my attention to the Voyager Golden Record, two identical records made for about the same purpose as the plaques that were launched on their crafts in 1977. What's interesting is that we still have contact with the Voyager probes, whose original missions were to explore far reaches of the solar system but have since moved far beyond the Sun and into interstellar space and are reporting on that.
Now, the records carried on Voyagers 1 and 2 contain sounds and images of the Earth, including over a hundred photos and sounds of human life, greetings, and music. The records also have many engravings similar to that of the plaques on them.
17776 posits that we live in a universe with no other intelligent life, and that people are perfectly okay with that. But all evidence of these "time capsules" says otherwise. All evidence says that people are always looking to space for more -- for answers that space may not be able to give.
I think that if we really were alone on this planet, it would be terrifying. Again, 17776 poses the idea that humans inherently seek out play above all other change. But isn't exploration play in itself? Isn't play just another form of discovery? And if it is, isn't space exploration and discovery inherently human?
I think people have by far accepted that there is a nonzero chance of aliens existing. And in a universe that is, for all intents and purposes, infinitely expanding, a nonzero chance is practically a confirmation, isn't it? Even in a universe as insanely empty as 17776's, I can't imagine humanity giving up on that small chance that we're not alone out here.
The idea that we're not unique in our existence is strongly non-creationist, which I will admit freely. It belies the fact that we are not a chosen people after all. But I think that we have a built-in desire to not want to be alone in the big, dark universe. Not a pale blue dot within infinite vastness, but rather part of a larger group.
Voyager 1 is the most distant human-made object in space ever. I think that's incredible. Maybe one day, extraterrestrial life will stumble upon our probes and play our records and hear the whale sounds recorded on them. Maybe they won't. But all signs show that we want them to.

salut! i was wondering; do you know any clean-singing metal bands that sing in french? i'd assume that'd be something in the direction of power metal (like powerwolf does some german songs) as they tend to like clean singing, but i'm open to anything :)
(i noticed you posted about french language music earlier so figured you might know)
merci - un ami suédophone
oulah sorry but i don't know much about metal (i do listen a bit but don't know much about subgenres etc), only know like 4 french bands and none sounding like what like you're looking for, even tried to ask my metalhead friend but she doesn't know either. recs open!
what year is it
I keep forgetting to post my 17776 art here. (On my 17776 dedicated blog. The only thing I use Tumblr for.) so I’m queuing up a few things from the past bit, not much but!!!
"can we normalize-" NO!!!!!! we do not need to expand whats considered normal!!! we need to teach people to stop reacting judgmentally when encountering something new and weird!!!! things dont need to be normal to be respected!!!!!!!!!!
yknow what would be a fucked up phone feature
I have bottom surgery scheduled in April. I am very excited about it, but I have a lot of thoughts on how the process has been.
My surgeon's clinic calls it a transmasculine surgery. My insurance does the same. Everywhere I look for information about the surgery, it is referred to as masculinizing, as a gender confirmation surgery for men and masculine people.
I am not transmasculine nor a transgender man. I am not masculine or a man at all.
I am an intersex transgender woman with ambiguous genitalia seeking urethral lengthening, a scrotoplasty, and closure of a painful vagina that doesn't go anywhere. I do not consider my wants to be masculine and don't like referring to it that way. I have been gendered a boy, a man, a sir for a lot of my life and I do not wish to be called these things. My surgeon, letters, and insurance are calling my surgery a metoidioplasty, a surgery traditionally offered to transmasculine people and men.
In order to get this surgery, I have had to repeatedly state that I am a man, or at the very least "masculine", with a phallus that needs to be "affirmed" via surgery. It is dysphoric work.
I am appreciative of my ability to access life-saving surgery through transgender medical care, but I do look forward very much to the day in which all can access hormones and surgery without it being so deeply gendered, without all of the hoops and demands to prove you are really enough of a man or a woman to justify medical care.
I look forward to the day in which genitals do not have genders.
The surgeon told me my results will be great, because his first surgeries were done on intersex people. The violence in that sentence hasn't left my mind since he said it.
But... Is he gay or European?

Hello, There’s no place on Earth more difficult to live in than this. It’s the most chaotic region on the planet. Our daily struggle just to get water is exhausting — we fill containers and carry them over long distances Unfortunately, famine has returned, and securing food is harder than anything you can imagine! There’s no infrastructure here, and the streets are filled with sewage, spreading disease, especially among children Despite all this, we’re desperately trying to find a place that is even somewhat livable I can’t return to my job yet to support my family because I need reliable internet and stable electricity, which are both expensive here. I still need your help, and I hope you can reblog this message and donate if you’re able to Thank you 🌹

At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there's a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.

=== a few days ago === March 5, 2024: Happy Birthday to Pioneer 9!!!
Man, I'm bad at this. I got held up by random nonsense, but I'm still gonna wish our favorite football hater a (belated) happy birthday anyway!
