I Love This Chaos Because Someone Is New

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)

the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)

all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)

Guys, let's make a sandwich. I'll start:

Bread

Puritanism is getting worse around the globe and conservatives and fascists will absolutely be first going harder against porn, then use that against queer people. You HAVE to realise this and oppose anti porn measures and laws, be in solidarity with sex workers, and listen to them when they call this shit out. It's going to be vitally important.

Danuary Day 5

The day's prompt gave me a set of confusion so mind defaulted to poetic and dark. i give you angst sprinkled with fluff and metaphors that may actually be true. @crossoverdanuary will be cross-posted

Day 5- Fortune & Pokemon

It had been years since Danny had human connection. After all, the things he had known when human were long gone as his world had evolved. He had seen the slow death of all those around him, as he stood frozen in the narrowest space in the hourglass.  

His world was the origin, the development had begun to branch as soon as his time paused. He was king, Balance, Space, Son of Time, and the Deity of Fortune. His luck and core blessed those who held others dear, and cursed those with no love or reason in their hearts. Many good souls had come and gone, some thinking themselves cursed but were truly the most blessed. He had created afterlives for those who died heroes and those who died evil. He made the worlds in between, always the closest to his home. So that he may protect those closest to his kind. His daughter and son shone their ideas upon worlds letting their choices guide the universes, after all they were his.  

He was yet not full, his life was missing something, what; he did not know. He needed a friend. So what he created was creatures of his wildest dreams, fish that became dragons controling water, living ecosystems that developed sentience controling the plants they carried on their backs, blobs of goo that could morph and mimic, and shadow beasts that sough comfort in the energy they were made from. He created creature after creature, finding those in his memories and creating ones that may have brought them joy. He placed the creations on a world that he adored, a gift. Then he left a final being, powerful as he to look out for the little blessings of the world.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

High King Dannal felt a pull in his chest, a call for him. A soul was calling for him at a temple made by his gifts. Calling him Danny. It had been a long tome since the boy that never grew had heard that name.  

He followed.

FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG KIDS IN THE US!

Someone over on bluesky posted this and I figured I'd better repost it here. It's the pre-RFK 2025 vaccination schedule for babies and young children, ya know, just in case it mysteriously disappears. Save this and give it to your child's pediatrician; tell them this is the schedule you want your child on.

Bar Soap vs. Liquid Soap – The Shocking Truth About Your Daily Wash

Bar Soap is Back – Here’s Why You Should Ditch the Pump

In a world dominated by convenience, liquid soaps have taken over our bathroom shelves. But have you ever stopped to wonder if they are truly the best choice for your skin and the planet? Handmade bar soaps offer a superior alternative—not only for personal care but also for environmental sustainability. Here’s why you should make the switch.

1. Handmade Bar Soaps Are Gentler on Your Skin

Most commercial liquid soaps contain harsh detergents, synthetic fragrances, and preservatives that can strip your skin of its natural oils. This can lead to dryness, irritation, and even exacerbate conditions like eczema.

Handmade bar soaps, especially those made with natural oils and butters, provide deep hydration and nourishment. A study published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment found that soaps containing plant-based oils like olive oil and shea butter help improve skin barrier function and retain moisture (Sator et al., 2003).

At The Soapany, we use only the finest natural ingredients to ensure your skin feels soft, nourished, and never stripped of its essential moisture.

2. Bar Soaps Are Free from Harmful Chemicals

Many liquid soaps contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and parabens, which have been linked to skin irritation and hormone disruption (Darbre et al., 2004). Handmade bar soaps, on the other hand, are typically crafted with pure, natural ingredients—no harsh additives, no unnecessary chemicals, just wholesome goodness.

3. Better for the Environment

Liquid soaps come in plastic bottles, contributing to the massive problem of plastic waste. According to a 2018 report by the United Nations, over 300 million tons of plastic waste are produced each year, and a significant portion ends up in landfills or oceans (United Nations Environment Programme, 2018).

Bar soaps, especially handmade ones, usually come in minimal or biodegradable packaging, making them a much more eco-friendly choice. Plus, they require less water and energy to produce compared to liquid soaps (Bakker et al., 2009).

4. Bar Soaps Last Longer & Save You Money

Did you know that bar soaps last up to six times longer than liquid soap? A study from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology found that bar soap usage is more efficient, with significantly lower product waste compared to liquid soap pumps (Götz et al., 2017).

Liquid soap often gets over-pumped or wasted due to its watery consistency, while a solid bar allows for controlled usage, ensuring you get the most out of every lather.

5. Handmade Soaps Contain Glycerin – A Skin Superhero

Glycerin is a natural humectant, meaning it attracts moisture to your skin. Unfortunately, many commercial liquid soaps have their glycerin removed to be used in other cosmetic products.

Handmade bar soaps retain their natural glycerin, making them deeply moisturizing and perfect for sensitive or dry skin (Morris et al., 2010).

6. The Experience is Simply Better

There’s something truly special about using a handcrafted, artisanal bar of soap. The rich lather, the natural scents, the luxurious feel—it turns a simple shower into a self-care ritual.

At The Soapany, every bar of soap is made with love, care, and high-quality ingredients, ensuring you get the best possible experience while caring for your skin.

Final Verdict: Bar Soap Wins!

If you’re looking for a gentler, more eco-friendly, cost-effective, and luxurious cleansing experience, handmade bar soap is the clear winner.

Danuary Day 3

Sorry but I have a bad schedule and my entries will generally be late @crossoverdanuary Anyway here is day 3 fic will be cross-posted later.

DP x DS

Danny hit the wall, the cracks around him flourishing. He needed to get away. If he could escape to the portal he would be safe. He took his fear and pushed it down. Then he flew. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Tanjiro’s eyes flew open. 

 The surroundings haven’t changed, but…something is off. A new smell came through the window. Blood, and something I didn’t recognize, like a burnt wound or cooking meat. I quickly right myself and leave the futon to put on my uniform and haori. Just in time as well, the sun was setting. It was time to find the demon plaguing this town.  

Walking through the streets it’s quiet, just like most towns. But there was a string of scents, like they were fighting-there! The scent from earlier, it felt almost; desperate. I rush towards the source, finding along the path strange patches of a glowing green substance, it might be the blood art of the demon. That isn’t good, who knows what it does. It might be a poison. The scent is getting stronger, I must be close! “Hn-ahh!?” Standing here, there is something. Covered in ash it has claws and fangs like a demon, but my brain says otherwise. Blindingly white hair hanging around pale skin, in the center of its face were two eyes glowing green like the puddles from before. It had fangs longer than should be able to fit into it’s mouth and the green dripping from a kimono that seemed to blend in with the night sky. It looks at me and snarls before it shifts into something more human, as if relaxing. Suddenly a giant flash of pure light blinds me, white fading from my vision. “Huh-“ in the creatures place now stands a boy with dark hair and ice blue eyes, he stumbles. I rush forward to catch him, why is he so light? 

Okay so if Danny is like 12, then tell me that he wouldn't be called Wayne bait until the Amity suckers come in because, 'Oh THERE'S the traumatic backstory' kinda vibe.

Danny just being this oblivious-sunshine child is so in character and yes. Gotham cuteness aggression™ is them breaking a wall like Jack with their bare fists. That is their set of adorable no sense of self-preservation kids THANK YOU.

These people are liminal as fuck and it shows.

Gotham TikTok

AKA "Danny moves to Gotham and records TikToks with absolutely deranged captions. He films Get Ready with Me in Gotham videos, fit checks, and even A Day in the Life of a Ghost in Gotham! Except everybody is freaking the fuck out in the comments" prompt idea!

No, you don't understand, I'm obsessed. Like, what if Danny's idea of "safe" is just... anything that doesn't actively try to kill him? So Metropolitians, Star City, and Central City citizens are literally biting their nails and sweating bullets every time he posts, because what if he gets merc'd by the "Eight Heads in a Duffel Bag" Red Hood?? And that's one of the nicer villains in Gotham. And Danny's just like wow, this place is niiiiiice, I haven't even been murdered yet!

Maybe Jazz took a 12-year-old Danny to Gotham to escape their parents. Gotham's cheap, dirty, and doesn't ask questions: it's the best place to go to disappear because damn near half the city's population are either super villains, hostages, dead, or vigilantes. She gets a job at an understaffed hospital as a clinical psych intern. She enrolls Danny for online schooling because she's scared a public high school would be too easy for their parents to track.

Which leaves Danny alone for hours. He makes a TikTok account called "Danny Phantom" because, c'mon, he's a kid. And, like most kids, he doesn't really comprehend the idea of a digital footprint or that his account is public, accessible by literally anybody.

He's also a little shit. So, the first TikTok he uploads is of a man getting carjacked, but the caption reads: love to see people helping each other. remember it's always okay to ask for help! it's okay, I don't know how to parallel park, either :)

And you just see this guy in a mask shove a businessman away from his car, gesturing with his gun, before getting into the driver's seat. Except the car is parallel parked so the carjacker just slowly inches back and forth between a Prius and a Honda until he can wedge himself out of the parking space. And then gets stuck in stand-still traffic. The TikTok goes viral. It's talked about on the Gotham news and Gothamites are losing their shit, pointing out the exact moment you can see the carjacker start to soundlessly cuss through the car's windshield or the way the businessman is just... standing on the side of the road, watching with a deadpan look.

Danny doesn't know about it being on the news, but he sees all the comments, likes, reposts, and feels something. He wonders if this is what Ember feels every time people listened to her music. So, he keeps posting. Usually, it's short three-second videos of a hilariously unexpected situation with an even more deranged caption. But then he's accidentally caught in the reflection of a store front while recording and doesn't know, posts it like he always does; only for this TikTok to go viral, too. Because "Danny Phantom" is a child??

He doesn't notice the shift in his comments, but the public opinion quickly changes from wow, Gothamites are just like that huh lol to what the FUCK, kid, get inside!!! anytime he posts.

Except Danny never gets hurt. Even in the most dangerous situations, when you'd think this kid is a goner for sure, he's just happily yapping in the background. He's so different from Gothamites because he lacks that dead-eyed, despair-inducing aura of someone who's lived in a hellmouth their whole lives. (A couple people post that Danny kind of reminds them of Golden Boy Brucie Wayne, all air-headed and unrealistically optimistic, and suddenly there's memes of "what happens when you've never gotten shot in Gotham" or "how i act when Commish Gordie accuses me of shoplifting again" with them side-by-side.)

And then Danny's posts go viral again and again. Danny doing a fit check with a blond-haired woman with a checkered outfit, she ruffles his hair and kisses him on the cheek. A picture of him wearing an old jean jacket with a bright red lipstick smear on his cheek is trending for weeks. Spoiler, fully suited up in an all-purple vigilante attire, and him shoving gas station hotdogs in their mouths. He even has videos of him clearly in Killer Croc's lair, with comments of are you in the sewers??? DANNY??? and he responds, no, i'm in mom & dad's basement :) (Waylon Jones is actually sitting behind him in one of the videos, intently watching a TV show on an iPad.)

Everybody adores Danny - Rogues, Gothamites, even the Bats. (There's at least six videos of Nightwing teaching Danny how to do backflips, handstands, and other acrobatic moves. Even the youngest Robin has been caught on camera quietly talking with Danny, a shocking lack of violence that left half the city's population suffering from cuteness aggression for the kids.)

So, yeah, Danny belongs to Gotham.

But the internet is widely accessible and Danny made it so, so easy to find him. Jazz obviously didn't know he was posting videos of himself publicly; she was too tired after back-to-back 12 hour shifts at the hospital that she hadn't even checked social media in months. Otherwise, she would've told him to be careful, to never show his face or post his real name on the internet. Then again, Jazz would never have expected all of Gotham (and Superman himself, totally endeared by the kid after Kon and Jon showed him a couple TikToks) would beat the absolute shit out of anybody going after Danny.

Imagine GIW's surprise when they track down Amity's former residential Ghost only to find an entire city frothing at the mouth to protect their Phantom.
