There is so much fear-mongering about sharia law, when the actual fear should be from oppressive government institutions using Sharia law as an excuse to justify their actions. These countries say they follow sharia law and if someone dissents, they are called an enemy of state and executed. And whenever you use sharia as a representative of oppression of women, you effectively shit on those who died to protest against the hypocrisy and let the corruption win. This is not a friendly reminder. Sharia law is to resolve disputes with equal rights given to both men and women. It is very easy to defend all women instead of just one group of them. Malaysia and Indonesia also use Sharia law. While those countries do have problems with women's rights, those problems are completely different from middle eastern countries (more similar to India then Saudi Arabia). You don't see them being denied the right to work, right to education, being forced to wear or remove their hijabs .etc.
already seeing a lot of *drops comparisons to muslim countries*/*uneducated quips about sharia law*/*general fear mongering, racism and islamophobia*

How much time did it take you to make these? How much time do you spend online? You are so hot for making these. 😍 You got them all on point 👉

Well, which is it Google? Chai is Indian tea which was introduced by Chinese monks along the Assam border and developed as an ayurvedic (plant medicine strain) drink.
Also, several people who are immigrants won’t be able to tell the difference as daffodils don't grow in their native place. Do they deserve to die for that?
James Wong is one of the most beleagured men on Twitter. Not only did he recently get fired from the Observer for publicly objecting to platforming a TERF, he has a bunch of idiots arguing that daffodils (toxic) bundled like spring onions and placed in the produce section next to other alliums isn't dangerous because people should "know better" somehow.
Marks and Spencer is a UK-based retailer with some stores in a few other countries as well. I haven't seen daffodils sold like this in the U.S., but this is your regular reminder that staff at any given store don't necessarily know how toxic the plant products they're selling are. If you see something like this, bring it to the store's attention and also notify their corporate office.
@duckytree @duckysprouts I thought you'd like this post.
Jason: (stubs toe) AH GAH F*CK THIS TABLE
Dick: Jay Language! You should be ashamed!
Jason: You. You taught me these words man.
Dick: (now sweating a little bit) Such foul language and now lies? You lie on the name of your older brother? I don’t know what I did wrong! Timber have you ever ever heard me curse?
Tim: …no?
Dick: exactly! You wound me Jacey!
Jason: you literally would party all the time and you once told this very table the exact same thing I just said!
Tim: … okay the joke was funny before but now you’re taking it a bit too far Jason.
Jason: WHAT? ME!?
Later he found a Polaroid of a younger Dick Grayson clothes in disarray, holding a bottle of tequila and dancing amongst several other people. Said photo has a note on the back that read “hope to see you again soon” next to a deep red kiss mark.
Jason: SEE I WASN’T LYING LOOK!
Tim: …This is really good photoshop! I thought you didn’t want to learn! But seriously can you drop this? You’re asking me to believe that the guy who calls me timbits did drugs. Its not gonna work.
Dick: (mouthing behind Tim) no one will ever believe you >:)
It is not a swap, the ai is trained to add textures and craters on top of the moon like all phones do to enhance photos, I am sick of telling people this, please watch mrwhosetheboss and MKBHD's videos on this. Please use your goddamn brains. Hell, you can go in settings and turn it off. Either the OP loves misinformation or they can't read.
I haven't seen it get mentioned on Tumblr yet but Samsung has just gotten caught in a hilarious scam: they apparently advertised how their latest phones can take great picture of the moon, compared to other phones!
But it turns out they aren't using machine-learning to clear up blurry pictures, they're using machine-learning to detect when you're taking a picture of the moon, and then they swap in a saved PNG file of the moon.
A reddit user figured this out by taking a photo of the moon from Wikipedia, blurring it in photoshop, then trying to photograph it from across the room with all the lights turned out.
Their Samsung phone somehow managed to "clear up" the blurriness and recover details that weren't there in the first place. Because it's just cheating.
She's pretty great

I have cats and I call them dirty, naughty, witch and stinky but as a joke and affectionately. I love cats but I can't comprehend people who actively dream up how to hurt cats. Like I get telling an asshole cat that someone will punt them if they continue to act shitty but I knew someone who was told that this person wished they could kick a cat so hard it gets bruises. Unbelievable.
The difference between dog-people-who-don’t-like-cats and cat-people-who-don’t-like-dogs is just so staggering and, quite honestly, disturbing.
Most cat people who don’t like dogs either don’t like dogs out of fear or because they don’t want the big time commitment and responsibility that owning a dog brings with it (-> going on walks, going to dog training school) and that’s that. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone do a general character assassination of dogs.
But dog people who don’t like cats will really go on about how cats aren’t… capable of love or some shit? How they don’t want an animal who sets personal boundaries - the most cited thing is always the “and they will just hit you at random” (when that’s not even true; cats hit ‘at random’ either due to trauma/abuse or because they have warned you beforehand to stop whatever behavior they dislike and you didn’t listen).
That’s just so wild to me. Cats have such an awful rep for, what exactly? Having personalities? Setting personal boundaries? Not being fucking stuffed toys?
All I’m hearing when people complain about that is that they want a stuffed toy they can pick up whenever they want and can cuddle however long they want and then put back on the shelf when they don’t want to play with it anymore and I’m sorry but you don’t want a pet at all, you want a stuffed toy.
A dog doesn’t deserve you either?? I may not have personal experience with owning a dog, but I somewhat suspect dogs to have personalities too? To want affection when they want it too, and to want to be left alone when they need downtime too…?
And cats show love. How is it that in the year 2023, when cat videos are not even just on YouTube but also on tiktok and are literally on everyone’s fingertips, that people still have the misconception that cats don’t show love or aren’t capable of love that’s so fucking messed up it’s just so severely fucked up.
Neither.
Spoiler: Cordelia killed Tatiana but Grace helped.
Okay, so looking back at the rest of the shadowhunter chronicles, someone has to kill their parent every three books (that aren’t story collections), e.g. Clary killing Valentine, Gabriel killing Benedict, Julian killing Andrew and Kieran killing the Unseelie King. Which means, that someone has to kill their parent in Chain of Thorns. And, obviously, the only way this makes sense in any is Grace/Jesse killing Tatiana.
Anyway maybe I’m going insane but I think it makes sense.
Christopher died, bitch-
I feel like screaming that at everyone. Saw one person say he didn't matter as much so obviously Cassie would kill him off.
me @ everyone rejoicing that their faves emerged victorious from chain of thorns
Pretty.

Tumblr added a new feature where we could play multiplayer open world games with our mutuals, themed around different fandoms.
Sounds good.
Rereading The Last Hours (chronologically) before Chain of Thorns comes out
Hi!
I’m witchlightdreams and I’m planning to reread the entirety of The Last hours including online extras and side stories in other companion books of the Shadowhunter and I made a plan so everyone can join me. 💜
The Shadowhunter wiki has a very concise timeline of the stories, but it doesn’t include the online Extras and snippets that aren’t canon. So I put together a longer list that has all extras (excluding a few super short snippets) together. This is probably not for people who read TLH for the first time though, since a few of the short stories and extras contain spoilers.
I already asked people if they would be interested in a book club to reread TLH and I got much positive feedback. I thought long about how to achieve a communal book club so I had the idea of just making a hashtag that hasn’t been used yet to share our thoughts on the current chapter, post art, etc. What do you guys think of #TLH reread challenge?
I’ve made a plan in which order I will read the The Last hours again before the big finale and everyday I will post something about the reading section of the day, life-blog about my thoughts while reading, post art and reblog other stuff from the hashtag, so if you want to keep up-to-date and join the book club, you can either follow this blog or the hashtag or just DM me if you want to join the book club but don’t want to post yourself. I would be very interested to read this communally, so if you want to read at the same time as me, please use the tag or tell me directly. Of course you can also join later or skip the extras at the beginning entirely.
Of course no one has to follow my recommended plan, you should always read in your own time and find joy in reading. I just made this for myself and everyone who wants to read parallel with me. I’m trying to keep every daily section under 50 pages and always between 25-45 pages, but in the beginning it might not be possible, especially with the extra stories, since they don’t have page numbers and because short stories are usually longer than chapters.
If you want resources where to find the extra stories, I made a second post for that and tagged it with our book club tag.
In case you don’t own the companion books or don’t want to read the short stories because they’re too long, that’s not a problem! The Shadowhunter wiki has a good summary of those so you don’t have knowledge gaps!
Happy reading!

If we enjoy this book club I will continue the challenge for Chain of Thorns, but since we don’t know the chapters and their length yet, I can’t plan this yet.
The backgrounds are immaculate.
