Really Love The Behind The Scenes Because Hearing Someone Say That Sam Was Wrong And It In Fact Cost

zudrick has knuckle tats that say CROW TUAH

I made some pins with oil paint on recycled plastic. This is a terrible choice for durability but I like to fuck around with with what I got. I don't know what to seal them with though.

By now, you all must have seen the news that Gaza had officially run out of food, as one of the main aid suppliers in Gaza, World Food Program, had announced that their stock has been completely depleted, leaving just a few days for community kitchens to function.

This comes after more than 50 days (and counting) of Israel's complete closure of the borders, preventing food and medicine, among other life essentials, from entering Gaza. There are children crying out of hunger with trucks loaded with over 100,000 tons of food mere minutes away from them, which Israel continues to prevent from entering besieged Gaza.

This also comes after Israel had deliberately destroyed swaths of farmlands in Gaza, specifically targeting them with bombs and chemical weapons that destroy the chance of growing crops. Israel also made sure bakeries are destroyed as well as water sources.

Diabolical is an understatement when it comes to the Zionist entity.

There are still things you can do. On top of raising awareness and protesting when possible, independent organisations like APN are working directly with farmers in Gaza to rehabilitate the agricultural sector and restore local food systems to combat famine, counter the blockade and build food sovereignty. You can donate to their Revive Gaza's Farmlands initiative here.

Additionally, keep in mind that this means whatever food supplies remain available in Gaza now cost astronomical amounts of money, so keep sharing and donating to individual fundraising campaigns. Gazafunds is a good source if you're not sure where to start. Remember that your donations and shares are often the only source of hope for these families.

I was trying do hard to look normal at work while listening. I don't think I succeeded.

1) i didn't know you could have near-constant goosebumps for almost an hour and a half, but i have now experienced that, so that's special

2) WITCH CURSE FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING WIN

3) my mouth was open for the last five minutes and my chest hurt from how little i was breathing. Brennan. You absolute maniac. WHAT WOULD SUVI LIKE TO DO AFTER ALL THAT, HUH?

the number of times I've found myself just singing that out of context and being met with bafflement.

Walked into the kitchen to help with Easter meal prep and my mother was playing chasing cars over speakers and my immediate reaction was to go "IF I FILET-" and I then realised that I fully don't know the actual lyrics anymore it's all filet. Naddpod has done irreparabel damage to me.

it all hurts so muchhhhhh

i love when things from the very first episode come full circle

it feels like it'll be a Henry Sewastian type of deal and I'm here for it!

Based on his offhand comments about scholars / someone dating a scholar do we think that Boggy Rodgers is going to follow the grand NADDPOD tradition of being a character who’s obsessed with their ex.

this is so perfect oh my god! I love Welly's expression.

finally drew the zu crew

i love these dudes

not the silly little game show being a metaphor for the chaos of being alive. I came here for animal sounds and a bunch of buttholes

For all that we (correctly) decry Sam as a sick, sick man, the "Youlympics" twist was actually pretty sweet. Doing better on a second try because you learned from the first time around? Digging deep for a challenge and finding that you can do even better than that? That's not sadistic; it's satisfying.

(Except maybe having the cheese-eating challenge twice in two hours. That was rough.)

Other random thoughts:

Lest we forget, Brennan didn't put bacon in his pants to keep a cat in his lap, but to hide said bacon from Katie. And then Katie did it because Brennan did. Amazing sibling rivalry energy from those two.

And while Katie and Brennan might be the two most competitive people on Dropout, Ify isn't far behind - Sam absolutely picked those three for a reason and it worked a treat.

Especially because the only thing they prioritized above competition is standing against Sam.

"It's because she said 'buttholes' on the show! Grow up!"

Thank you to the lovely observant people who noticed that Sam does the Wenis if you jiggle the joystick on a jump; I was too busy having Ski Free flashbacks and hoping that jumping a dry tree would set it on fire.

It's probably because of the wreck of my current existence, but Brennan yelling on the podium about how they have no idea what the fuck they're doing, year after year, gave me some inadvertent feelings. I don't know what I'm doing either! I thought I did, but the game changed. But since the only way to win is by learning, well. I'll have to learn.

(So without further ado, let's begin!)
