you guys remember when PETA stole people pets off their porches and euthanized them?

you guys remember how it came out that PETA kills about 90% of the animals it takes in, including healthy and adoptable puppies and kittens, stating “

We could become a no-kill shelter immediately. It means we wouldn’t do as much work”?

you guys remember when PETA advocated killing all pit bulls for the crime of being pit bulls?

you guys remember when PETA handed out these comics to children when there were no adults looking?

you guys remember when they made a porn site and then filled it with videos of animal abuse, and (also in that link) claimed cats should be vegetarian?

you guys remember when PETA lied about sheep shearing, got caught, and defended the lie as true even after they admitted the sheep in their picture wasn’t even real?

you guys remember when they tried to excuse their horrifying ways by claiming that the person who exposed them was manipulating the facts by taking them and putting them in the wrong context?

Because I remember. I remember everything. 

And I’m gonna make sure everyone else remembers too. 

Why would they kill pit bulls they’re sweeties

Because PETA does not care about animals. they do not care that these dogs live and breathe and feel and want love like every other dog. they do not care about the history of human/dog bonding and co-evolution, they do not care that dogs and human beings have relied on each other for millennia, they do not care that its cruel and morally repugnant to put down an animal just because you can, they do not care about animals. 

PETA cares about money and publicity, its a corporation run by a psychopath who is afraid of pitts as it states in the link: she was apparently bit by one, and now she hates them. 

PETA doesn’t give a rats ass about animals. They just want to kill and make money off of idiots who fall of their spiel.

Some celebs support them

ah c’mon, dear-tumb1r, I think you’re being a bit harsh. I mean, okay, PETA’s done some questionable things, but it’s not like they’ve also

–spread false information about milk causing autism based on outdated bullshit information

–used holocaust imagery to compare the meat industry to concentration camps (no pictures)

–used a young man’s brutal death as a way to say “yeah that’s awful but it happens to animals every day and nobody cares about that” (tw: no pictures but the way the guy died is described and it is really horrible)

–dressed up in KKK robes and protested outside of the Westminister Dog Show to protest breeding/pure bred dogs (tw: racism)

–offered to pay the water bill for literally the poorest neighborhood in Detroit if and only if they all went vegan for a month (tw: self-righteous shitheads)

–and they definitely didn’t have two of their workers accept perfectly healthy animals from an animal hospital, with the implication that they would give them good homes, clarify that these animals were all healthy and well-tempered, and then euthanized them all in the back of a kill-van before dumping their dead bodies behind a grocery store (tw: PICTURES OF DEAD ANIMALS, animal death)

–and they totally didn’t get off pretty much scot-free for it because PETA has loads of money and lawyers to defend themselves, which coincidentally might be why the Cerate family hasn’t seen justice for their kidnapped and murdered dog, Maya. (tw: animal death)

Nah. PETA’s not that bad.

(/the heaviest of all my fucking sarcasm, I am salty as a fucking winter road, lord do I fucking hate PETA)

Did you think i was fucking joking, PETA?

I will make sure everyone fucking remembers what you’ve done. 

Bringing it back, because it’s charity season and people need to know NOT to give charity to these fuckers.

Yooooooo if you need ACA get on that shit!!

For the record? As a self-employed small business owner with a preexisting condition, my pre-ACA health insurace suuuuuuuuucked. My current plan actually provides substantially better coverage than the old one and costs half as much. I only wish I’d done it sooner– getting on the exchange was, tbh, entirely a spite-motivated action on my part, and probably the sole positive impact of 45′s presidency on my life.

Please boost. ACA/Obamacare sign-up for next year ends December 15.

This post is to clarify Pillowfort’s position on sexually explicit
visual art, particularly art containing minors. We apologize for not
clarifying our position on this earlier; we have been working on
revising the ToS to address these issues, but an incident arose today
that necessitated us taking action on this matter, so it seems necessary
to put things in plain terms now.

---

As of this statement, Pillowfort will not allow explicit
visual art of characters that appear to be underage. Now, due to the
inherently subjective nature of trying to determine the age of a
fictional character in a stylized medium, the “gray area” cases will be
up to the discretion of the moderator reviewing the content. Broadly, if
your characters are close to 18 and could plausibly or arguably be of
age based on appearance, that will be allowed. We are not going to comb
through the wiki of a particular fandom to try and find the canonical
age of a fictional character and then try to figure out if the character
in the art piece is supposed to be represented at their canonical age
or not. Similarly, many works of art contain sexual activity as a theme
of adolescence and coming-of-age– I’m sure you yourself can think of
many movies, shows, etc. you’ve seen that featured underage characters
in a sexual relationship, some even explicitly– and even if you wanted
to argue that art that explored adolescent sexuality was fine and it’s
‘just pornography’ that should be censured, we aren’t going to be the
arbiters of what is art vs. ‘merely’ pornography. Therefore, sexual
depictions of characters in later stages of adolescence may broadly be
considered ‘safe.’

However, any explicit or sexual art
of a character that appears to be physically pre-pubescent or barely
pubescent (i.e. not plausibly or arguably of age, or even close to it)
will be prohibited. We realize this decision may anger some people, but
we have devoted a considerable amount of thought to this decision and we
feel this is the best approach for our community.

Importantly,
we don’t want people to worry that this heralds a broader ban on
‘problematic’ content. When it comes to fictional depictions or
descriptions of divisive subjects such as incest, rape, abuse, etc., we
do not intend to restrict that content, for largely the same reasons as
discussed above with regards to ‘gray-area’ underage content. We
understand these subjects can be distressing for many, and we do request
that people posting content that is potentially upsetting tag such
posts with the relevant terms so that it can be avoided by those who
don’t wish to view such content. The only situation we foresee
penalizing the posting of this content would be a case already covered
in our ToS, where a bad-faith user appears to be intentionally spamming
completely unrelated tags or communities with violent or sexual content
with the intent or result of disrupting the usual functioning of that
tag or community.

We will update the ToS to reflect
these new guidelines soon. As always, if these new guidelines are
unsatisfactory to you and you want a refund for your PayPal payment to
us, you can email us at info@pillowfort.io and we will process your refund as soon as we can.

Update: Legolas’ pupils are about 3.5 cm wide each. Now drawing kawaii Legolas on physics assignment.

And they told you science was no fun.

Science!

I’m going to do it. I’m going to hand it in.

Legolas’s pupil size isn’t the problem here, though. 5 leagues is 17.262 miles. The curvature of the Earth means that for a person of average height, the visual horizon is less than three miles away. Even if your vision is telescopic and the atmosphere is perfectly clear, you can’t see around the planet. If they were standing on a hill, it would have to be at LEAST 198 feet above sea level in order to see the horizon at 17.2 miles away, with nothing tall in between. Which, knowing Rohan, isn’t impossible.

But consider: Elven satellite eyeballs.

you mean like

@sidereanuncia it’s back, the post that I can only imagine haunts your nightmares 

I shall never find peace.

Also, for what it’s worth, there’s absolutely no reason to believe that the curvature of Middle Earth is the same as that of Earth.

There’s no evidence that Middle Earth curves.

Yeah there is.  The Silmarillion states that the world was curved after the fall of Numenor (I believe), preventing access to Valinor.  But Elves (among others) can travel the straight path across it.

So middle earth is round, but not for Elves because magic.

So wait, the reason he can see that far is because Elves just have the ability to ignore the curve of the earth? That’s awesome. It also means that no matter how good your optics got, you would always want elf eyes manning the spyglass because they can see arbitrarily far while everybody else is limited by this ‘horizon’ bullshit.

Oh thank God, my poor elf prince has seen too much in this post

Elves are flat-earthers

This post went from amusing to horrifying, to be brought back down to amusing, sprinkled in with some cannon explanation, and then you leave me here in fucking outrage

This post really was a rollercoaster.

for elves it was a straight line

I’m making flan for the first time and I’m so scared it’s going to turn out bad

there should be a german word for that ambiguous fear of trying a new recipe and not knowing how it will end

The only word close to that right now is stress

not specific enough. we should invent a word. let’s see what should we use as a root. hmm i suggest the prefix -noia from paranoia 

Sounds good but what would the suffix be?

opsie -noia is a suffix, i typoed. for a prefix then, let’s see…something to do with cooking, baking, let me take a look

ok not loving any of these… well maybe bacanoia? how’s that sound?

scratch all of that. i was over thinking. culinary + paranoia = culinoia

there, that’s it. 

cu·li·noi·a

ˈkələˈnoiə

noun

    a feeling of suspicion or anxiety surrounding the outcome of a new recipe.   

Oh my god you are the smartest person I know

That’s really unfortunate
