It's so hard to come to that conclusion though, like at this point unalive is a part of gen Z culture. It's just using a word, they're not even thinking about talking on TikTok or YouTube anymore, they're just talking. It's a lot like people getting mad over AAVE because it's not grammatically correct and yes it's not, but AAVE is a cultural usage of English, a dialect if you will. They use it because their friends and family use it, everyone talks that way. Nobody thinks about grammar when speaking AAVE. It's actually kind of offensive if you try to correct someone. It's like that with unalive too. It's a clashing of culture, we don't understand it because we see it as it was formed, a response to a shitty half ass language filter, not as it is used, which is just another word for kill, death, or died. I really think this one is just not a big deal enough to fight. I think that teacher in the first part, while I agree with the sentiment and find the story funny, it's also in my opinion not about maturity but just a culture thing.

From working with children, the way kids who use unalive react when they hear someone say kill or suicide, it's not just slang or comparable to minoritised dialects, it's self-censorship, active and deliberate with fear of consequences built into it.

Also not to derail but AAVE does in fact have grammar.

I think it’s worth saying too that there are TONS of other euphemisms for death/murder/suicide/etc that evolved naturally over time, feel normal in conversation, n are used often in writing

passed away. deceased. kicked it. bit the dust. offed. done in. six feet under. I can keep going all day

yes, some of these sayings are (when used in conversation)(when used in writing it’s to convey a tone. different rules n all) also self censorship - but they’re self censorship for the sake of not being crass, or for the sake of not technically admitting to a murder, and so on. but until “unalive”, we haven’t seen self censorship for profit. it isn’t a choice to use “unalive” if you want to be seen on half the sites online n that’s the issue ultimately, not the word itself

"was captain jack harkness ever gay onscreen" has to be the funniest fucking question i have ever seen in my entire life.

As we conclude our week-long sea-lebration of her birthday, let's reflect on Rosa’s time at the Aquarium!

A cut-out image of Rosa the sea otter when she was a pup against a dark blue background with a faint pattern of squiggly scientific illustrations of seaweed on top. She has fluffy brown fur on her body with lighter blond fur on her face and lies on her tummy in front of an orange bat star. White text at the top of the image reads, “1999 - Rosa is rescued as a one-month-old pup and cared for by our Sea Otter Program.”

A cut-out image of Rosa the sea otter floating on her back against a dark blue background with a faint pattern of squiggly scientific illustrations of seaweed on top. Rosa’s dark brown fur, blond face, and dark brown flippers are visibly wet as they poke up out of the water, and she is looking at the camera with her mouth open, showing off her sharp white teeth and bright pink tongue. White text at the top of the image reads, “2002 - Rosa joins the Sea Otters exhibit at the Aquarium, and melts hearts with her signature swimming moves!”

A cut-out image of a side-view of Rosa and a sea otter pup against a blue background with a faint pattern of squiggly scientific illustrations of seaweed on top. Rosa and the pup are looking at each other, with their faces very close to one another. Rosa’s blond fur on her face contrasts the pup’s chocolatey-brown fur. The pup’s paws are raised towards Rosa’s mouth trying to grab a bright red crab from Rosa. White text at the top of the image reads, “2005 - Rosa is paired with her first orphaned sea otter pup as part of our surrogacy program. It’s an immediate success!”

A cut-out image of a close up of the faces of two of the Aquarium’s sea otters, Rosa and Selka, against a blue background with a faint pattern of squiggly scientific illustrations of seaweed on top. Rosa, on the left, has light brown and blond fur, and Selka, on the right, has dark brown fur. White text at the top of the image reads, “2012 - Rosa raises Selka, who eventually becomes one of the next generation of our sea otter surrogates!”

A cut-out image of Rosa the sea otter as she floats on her back while holding a large, tan crab in her paws, against a blue background with a faint pattern of squiggly scientific illustrations of seaweed on top. Her mouth is open as she moves to cronch down on the claw of the crab with her powerful jaws. White text at the top of the image reads, “2019 - Rosa retires after raising 15 orphaned pups, and spends time behind the scenes and on exhibit enjoying her favorite foods—clams and crabs!”

A cut-out image of a close-up of Rosa the sea otter floating on her back, against a blue background with a faint pattern of squiggly scientific illustrations of seaweed on top. Rosa is looking off to the right, and has her paws raised up out of the water in front of her, showing off the dark pads of her hands and toe beans. Her wet fur is dark brown one her torso and blonde on her face and chest. White text at the top of the image reads, “2023 - Rosa turns 24! She is the oldest southern sea otter on record!"

We’re so grateful for the opportunity to care for Rosa 💙 Help us wish her the fluffiest, happiest 24th birthday!

Saw a post the other day that was like 'guys stop complaining about the One Piece tab, as marketing goes it's very unobtrusive'. Do we think Tumblr took that as a challenge or

penny-anna

Nobody was going in the one piece tab so they had to send out the fucking clown

penny-anna

The clown was so funny honestly it's so badly thought out like

1) no actual indication of what he's advertising so a lot of ppl genuinely had no idea it was part of the One Piece campaign

2) like if they'd gone for the hat guy I think a good number of non-fans would have recognised him but I don't think anyone knows who the fucking clown is

3) he's like. Genuinely creepy & uncomfortable? Again like if they'd put the hat guy down there people might have been like oh cool a little guy on my dash but he's a scary clown who leers at you. Nobody wants the clown.

4) he is blocking part of the UI
