We warned you this is where this is going.
Is this anything
Colonialism is not a machine capable of thinking, a body endowed with reason. It is naked violence and only gives in when confronted with greater violence.

Hey Philly, are you sure??? Are you sure you want to do this?? You don’t wanna rethink this????
Hello. I’m sorry for begging again but my situation is pretty dire.
Recently, I’ve been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, stage 4. It came out of nowhere and was caught by sheer luck on an unrelated test. Stage four means my kidneys are shriveled up and almost dead - currently at only 17% working condition. When it drops to 10%, which is stage 5 (prognosis is within a year) I will require a kidney transplant and/or dialysis. You can not live without it, and prognosis for dialysis/kidney transplant patients are 10 to 20 years. I’m very young and I really would like to continue having a peaceful life and work on my art. I’ve had many hardships before - I’ve fundraised to get money for rent because of a homophobic attack I’ve suffered, I’ve fundraised to escape my country, all within 2-3 years. I’m really grateful for all the help I’ve gotten and I believe in people’s kindness.
Please, if you’re able, share or pitch in to my gfm campaign made by my fiancé. Link in the reblog.
My comms are also still open if you’d like to help in that way and get some art.
Chef Donolon’s Jubilee Cake (ESO anniversary)
Guess what, it’s my birthday, so I’m gifting you all with a special recipe today (how perfect is it that this year my birthday is on a Friday)! Naturally I’ve got to do what I do every year, and bake myself a cake! Well now, it’s not often you see a fancy cake of such proportions anywhere in Tamriel, but when it’s time to pull out all the stops you can guarantee that Chef Donolon’s recipes have you covered! And of course to mark my reaching a quarter of a century old, nothing less than the classic Jubilee Cake will do. Best of all? It’s gluten free for my coeliac friends!
I gained much inspiration in pastry making from the famous book, Donolon Bakes, and this Jubilee Cake is always a guaranteed hit with all folks old and young. Of course, the secret recipe for this lies with the Chef’s Charmed Mixing Bowl, which I don’t have (and neither do you, most likely), so after lots of experimenting I finally came up with what I hope is a passable replica of the real deal! Celebrate my birthday with me and share a slice!
You will need: Cake 100g plain unsweetened cocoa powder 250g fine ground almond meal 300 ml olive oil 250ml hot water 6 eggs 4 tsp vanilla extract 200g caster sugar 1 tsp baking soda Pinch of salt
Frosting 3 cups heavy cream 1 ½ packets (375g) cream cheese, softened 1 cup caster sugar 1 tsp vanilla essence 1 tsp almond essence Sliced almonds Handful of strawberries, halved Handful of blueberries
Method: Preheat your oven to 170C/325F. Grease two medium springform baking tins well with oil.
In a bowl, sift the cocoa powder and add the hot water, until it is a runny liquid. Add the vanilla essence and stir through.
Whisk the eggs, olive oil, and sugar together until the mixture is fluffy, then add the cocoa mixture. Whisk again until throughly blended.
Add the almond meal, salt, and baking soda, and beat it all together until a smooth even batter has formed. Pour the batter half and half into the two tins, and bake for 45 minutes. Leave for 15 minutes and run a knife around the edges of the tin before releasing the cakes. Leave them to cool on a wire rack.
For the icing, use an electric whisk to beat the cream and cream cheese and until mixed through and stiff peaks have formed. Add the sugar, vanilla and almond essences, and whisk until all the ingredients are well combined.
Spread half the frosting on the surface of the first cake, then stack the next cake on top. Cover with the remaining frosting, then decorate generously with almond slices and berries.
list of users gone because of scortched earth
partyjockers: for pointing out that there are hairy potty fans on staff and making the connection that it's the reason trans women keep getting flagged as mature
iamdealwithit: for pointing out that tumblr live literally steals your data and ip address and sells it to advertisers and the police back in December 29th of 2022, and was active up until seven hours ago today (September 5 2023) because that post started circulating again
both these people had the images from their post completely erased, their blogs completely wiped, and in partyjockers case the original post was wiped from the history of the site as well as any reblogs.
it's very strange that this has only happened twice to my knowledge and it only occurs when people point put staff's complete ineptitude and active malice towards it's userbase.
anyway screenshot this post just incase they start getting trigger happy. once is absolutely horrible censorship and should never fucking happen. twice sets a precedent that they will use this again.
