What is pooh baseball?
captainsnoop-deactivated2020041:
a few years ago, 4chan’s /v/ board discovered a game about playing baseball with Winnie the Pooh characters on Disney’s Japanese website
the thing about this game was that it was insanely difficult. the “normal” characters in the game’s earlier levels required pretty precise timing to hit their pitches, and as you progressed through the games levels and made it to characters like tigger and owl the game flat-out started cheating. tigger’s pitches would zig-zag in mid-air, owl’s pitches would turn invisible halfway through and you had to hit them on pure timing alone, and so on. it was insanely hard and everyone was enamored by it. why is this winnie the pooh game for babies insanely hard, requiring reaction times that almost seemed inhuman?
then people beat all of those characters and made it to christopher robin. christopher robin was next to impossible to beat. he incorporated every previous character’s throwing quirks and would switch them up with every pitch. he would sometimes even combine them, like pitching invisible screwballs. you couldn’t defeat him.
everyone on /v/ loved this game. it gelled perfectly with the internet’s sense of humor at the time. people would photoshop christopher robin’s face on meteors with winnie the pooh preparing to bat the meteor out of the sky. fancomics were drawn. christopher robin became an angry god hell-bent on destroying everything in his path, winnie the pooh became earth’s last hero standing in defiance of the gods. it was insane. all because of this weird, insanely difficult japanese winnie the pooh baseball game.
Here’s a link to the game if anyone wants to give it a try (I fucking hate christopher robin so fucking much)
I still have a bunch of the fanart!
Now this is my kind of meme!
I’M SO FUCKING GLAD POOH BASEBALL IS RELEVANT AGAIN.

WOMEN!

I’ma send her an offering.
Thank you! I always thought that glo up on your ex so they see what they’re missing or person that did you dirty, instead of just doing it just for you is wild corny. Like you might as well day you lowkey miss them and want them to still accept you in some form. When you really just need to move on.

we can’t so easily extrapolate straight male/straight female gender roles onto the butch/femme dynamic cuz lesbians are inherently gender nonconforming (yes even femmes) and butches will face heightened homophobia/misogyny from the straight world (especially in terms of street harassment and being barred from institutions based on appearance) and the gay world due to a lack of femininity
what makes lesbians inherently gender nonconforming is the fact that exclusively male desire is an expectation of what being a woman means in Patriarchy
Except by asserting this you are speaking over femmes who have had the butch/femme dynamics used in such a way that the greatest flaws of heteronormative roles can normalize abuse?
a lesbian’s butchness makes her particularly vulnerable to violence, including abuse, and your burning desire to compare butch lesbians to heterosexual cis men and the misogynistic abuse culture they uphold is dangerous.
Okay, hold up. First of all, I’m saying this from the perspective as a femme who was abused by a butch partner. I’m not saying that butch lesbians are equivalent to cis men, or any men for that matter. What I’m saying is that the butch/femme dynamic is inherently based in 1950s gender roles, because that’s part of the history of the butch/femme dynamic. This is a relationship dynamic that has a serious built in power imbalance, which can, as was in my case, be misused. I’m heavily critical of this dynamic because of my history and because of its ability to be misused.
I’m not saying that abuse of butch lesbians is acceptable or nonexistent. I’m saying that this dynamic has a distinct imbalance, and that ignoring the history of the butch/femme dynamic will not help.
i’ve seen and heard of femme women abuse butches. this isn’t to dismiss your abuse, only to say that this cannot be reflected onto all butches or butch/femme relationships in the way our heteronormative, male dominated society is founded upon. also, while of course butch/femme history is not perfect, but it’s been adapted in modern times. the idea that butch/femme is the same as it was in the 50s is inaccurate, and it’s inaccurate to assume all butch/femme couples even follow the 50s cultural dynamic (i mean, there are going to be butches and femmes who are going to be attracted to each other regardless of any dynamic. so should they just avoid each other?). butches come in all shapes and forms and so do femmes. i feel like it’s limiting, the way people view butches when i see butches and butch/femme criticized. they’re not all the same people nor same relationships. that’s just not my experience nor the butch/femme’s i know, this power imbalance. the butch/femme couples i know are built out of respect for each other, and these are women from my hometown as well as all over the world. the one i was in was out of respect for each other. clearly, many femmes love their butch/femme relationships, and do not support the idea of butches as male substitutes, nor do they see butches are their superiors/bosses/tops. every dynamic has the ability to be misused, and a woman can obviously abuse another woman, but two women together will never perpetuate the specific type of misogynistic abuse culture derived from hetero/male domination. however, again i respect that your stance comes from a place of abuse, and don’t wish to continue to debate this further out of discomfort at the idea of turning trauma into a debate topic, if that makes sense. but i did have to say my stance, as i have trauma and personal experience around the subject, as well.
Actually read what I have to say. If you want to be an author so bad have some reading comprehension. I’m not saying to throw out the book or that all of this dynamic is wrong. I’m saying blanket statements that prevent critical examination are dangerous. This can lead to dangerous situations.
Don’t use my abuse as a way to shield yourself from dialog. Do not reduce me to my abuse.Don’t you just love how people continuously talk over femmes in the quiltbag community? It’s just so great to see such defense organized against femmes who are constantly told they’re not butch enough to be considered queer (“yes even femmes”) and then to have the first person narratives of femmes who have experienced intimate violence from partners and communities they trusted reduced to excuses to dodge dialogue and accountability.
Long story short: Let’s not pretend the butchriarchy doesn’t exist. Let’s not make grand sweeping generalizations that don’t take the context of mainstream gender roles into consideration. It’s fantastical to assume that people who aren’t heterosexual have magically dodged the extensive socialization that saturates every major tool of media.
And MY burning desire to address femme-phobic bullshit is sadly not as dangerous as the abuse many femmes have and will face from their partners and communities.
tag yourself I’m the butchriarchy in the quiltbag community
I’m the quiltbag community

these people will get to do jury duty someday
Thanks to the person who linked this to me but lmao.
(a) This is fully out of context and doesn’t contain half of what I said both in that post and in reblogs so you’re basically the Donald Trump of writing your own stories, congrats idiot trash!
(b) I actually lived through the Bush era as an adult and remember what life was like during that time and while it sucked having him in the WH and bombing children and being horrible at his job and as an activist who’s too liberal for Obama let alone repubs I was fully appalled at everything he stood for, I stand by what I said – we weren’t fatalistic with Bush the way we are with Trump. It was 90000% different post 2000 and 2004. Nothing like it is now. You can’t compare.
© The way the majority of people dealt with Bush was not with protests and activism the way the majority are starting to do with Trump. The majority dealt with him using humor, mostly focused on how fucking dumb he was. That was literally comedy for eight years. Was it really comedy given all of the things he was doing globally and domestically? Nah. But it’s how people dealt. Now we have humor but we also have more hardcore activism. Again, different time, and the two don’t compare.
(d) Me saying “Bushy you lil idiot” on a tumblr post has zero percent to do with how I’d handle jury duty responsibilities, and if you think the two correlate, you’re a fucking idiot beyond all hope so I can’t even help you
I had to deal with something similar when I posted something similar about W. v. Trump, some dumbass child screaming at me about how I was whitewashing a war criminal and he was the worst everrrrrr. Like, fuck off. Two of my brothers served in the Iraq war, I am under NO misapprehensions about his stupid made-up wars. Iraq was fucking stupid. He listened to evil people–Cheney and Rumsfeld were just awful. But I never got the feeling that W. HATED Americans who didn’t vote for him. I certainly never had the idea that he might cause a nuclear war, or that he was in thrall to the leader of another country. And as awful as his cabinet choices were, they at least had a bare understanding of governance. Bannon has openly said he wants to destroy the state. Betsy Devos couldn’t find her way out of a wet paper bag–I mean really, HBCUs are an example of school choice? Ben Carson citing fucking SLAVES as an example of immigrants who worked hard and didn’t complain? We’re in Nomansland now. Trump is fucking terrifying in a way W. simply wasn’t. And I know because I actually lived through W. Anyone screaming that W. is just as bad as T is full of shit. Context is good, nuance is good. Some people are bad; others are worse.

polyamory is neither inherently abusive or radical it’s literally just dating multiple people at once. this has pros and cons and risk factors specific to it just like monogamy does. that’s it. not that deep, no need to apply all sorts of symbolism to it

Pokemon Go Guide + Hints
Looking for ways help improve the way you play, save some battery, and perhaps some hints? Well look no further:
- Click the Pokeball on the middle of the screen, settings, and make sure “Battery Saver” is on, it will darken your screen when you put it down, but it will vibrate if a pokemon shows up (you have to turn this on every time you start the game
- “Transfer” is a method where you remove an extra Pokemon and recieve a candy for it
- If you do not choose a starter you can get Pikachu as your starter
- Go ahead and copy your e-mail/username to help quicken the process for when the servers go down
- Joining a team: at level 5, head to the nearest gym and you will be prompted to join a team. Be warned your decision is permanent, so choose wisely!
- Though it may be cool, turning off AR for battles helps tremendously as 1. It saves battery and 2. The pokemon becomes easier to catch as it doesn’t move around
- When catching a Pokemon: Green = easy catch, Yellow = moderately hard catch, Orange = hard catch
- If an orange catch shows up, i would highly recommend (if you have them and want to assure capture) to use a Razz Berry as they work wonders for catching Pokemon
-
Even worse, some high level Pokemon seem to alter your Pokeball throws by curving or wacking them away on top of having a hard catch rate. By holding and spinning your pokeball to charge a curveball shot, and then throwing the Pokeball into the smallest sized circle you will get an “excellent” message, netting you max XP from the catch!
- Nearby Pokemon: The feet below the Pokemon indicate how far they are. Click on the nearby Pokemon page, if the Pokemon you are searching for goes to the front of the list, you are headed in the right direction; if not head another direction. Also if the footprints reduce by one, that is a good sign. If not, try a different direction (fair warning the system is pretty wonky spent 30 minutes trying to find a kingler and it never took me in the right direction)
- Gyms: There are no such things as unbeatable gyms, if a Pokemon gets stuck with 1 hp, go ahead and restart your game. If you enter the battle and after the words GO appear it takes you back to the menu, restart the game. Remember to hold down to use your second stronger move.
- If a Pokemon needs 50 candy to evolve you should need to catch 13 of that Pokemon (each catch gives 3 and you get 1 when you remove it) 3 x 13 + 12 (you’ll keep one to evolve) = 51, You will need 16 if the Pokemon has two evolutions (one for 12 and one for 50) 3 x 16 + 15 = 63
- Pokestops can be visited again after 5 minutes, however it will sometimes tell you to come again later if you visit too often
- If you own any gyms, make sure to click shop and on the top right corner there will be a shield icon. Click that for a few shop coins and stardust every 20 hours as your Defender Bonus!
- If you have friends, if 1 of them uses a Lure Module at a Pokestop, everyone near by will be able to benefit for the entire time! You will know if a Lure Module is used as the Pokestop will have cherry blossoms around it!
- Eeveelutions:
Jolteon comes from Eevee with Body Slam, Vaporeon from Eevee with Swift, and Flareon from Eevee with Dig!(This is a theory that has been proven false, it appear the evolutions are random!) - Unlocks: Unlock Razz Berry at level 8, Super Potion at Level 10, Great Balls at Level 12, Hyper Potions at Level 15, Ultras Balls at Level 20
- You will reach a point where you can no longer catch all Pokemon or else you’ll run out of Pokeballs, make sure to run from Pokemon you do not wish to catch (you’ll reach that point quickly with Rattata). However, you will get 1,000 XP every time you evolve a Pokemon, so it can be a great way to level up!
Best of luck to you out there trainers!

Some Pokemon Go Tips
Just some things I’ve learned that when I share some people don’t seem to know yet!
- CATCH DUPLICATES. Catch them and then return them to prof willow. You can do this by clicking on the pokemon’s stats, scrolling down and hitting transfer. You get pokecandy for this which you can use to evolve/power up your original!
- Make sure you compare and contrast CPs of your duplicates. One pikachu might be 10cp and the other 56cp. Keep the higher one, transfer the other.
- That being said DONT waste your time evolving/powering your pokemon just yet. You might work hard to power your eevee to 100cp only to catch one at 150cp the next day. WAIT. In fact, I started only powering up my highest evolved pokemon. (ninetails, fearow, etc)
- Pokestops refresh every 5 minutes. You can visit them for an unlimited amount of time. I live right on top of one and check back in whenever I remember to.
- Leveling up will give you LURES, INCENSE AND INCUBATORS. So don’t think you NEED to buy these from the shop.
- If your wary about spending money for coins, you can GET COINS by having pokemon in gyms. This is the ‘defender bonus’ Theres a shield icon in the shop section that you can refresh every 21 hours. You can have up to 10 pokemon in 10 diff gyms for a total of 100 pokecoins and 5000 stardust a day.(10 Pokecoins and 500 stardust per pokemon)
- Your gym alliance makes it so that ANY GYM you fight of your own alliance, your pokemon WILL NOT FAINT. Their hp will reduce to 1 and they will need healing, but they won’t faint. You also gain gym prestige this way which helps strengthen your alliance territory. Any rival gyms however will faint your pokemon and they will need a REVIVE to keep being used. You can also transform them into candy at this point if you are a heartless monster. :(
- A gym has a max of 3 pokemon traners/defenders. If you find a gym of your alliance with only 1 or 2 pokemon in it, you can ADD YOUR POKEMON WITHOUT FIGHTING YOUR FELLOW TEAM. Just drop a pokemon in there and keep walking! Free defender bonus. (Do this by clicking the bottom left icon of ‘add pokemon’)
- More than one trainer can fight one gym leader at a time. Getting a friend to fight with you is the best way to beat the gym!! You attack at the same time.
- ITS NOT TURN BASED ATTACKS. Its real time! Click once for a basic attack, swipe to dodge, and hold down a click for a SPECIAL ATTACK!
- My best method is not to dodge at all but just click forever. So long as I have a bigger CP I usually win lol.
- Do NOT put your best pokemon into a gym. Your second or third only. You cannot recall your pokemon once its in a gym and you will need it to fight other gyms. (they get returned to you after they are beaten)
- Everyone gets one free incubator that lasts forever. Any extras you find or receive from leveling up only last 3 hatches before breaking.
- TRACKING POKEMON! Sparkling grass doesn’t guarantee a pokemon showing up. The ‘nearby’ tab is the actual tracker. The highest on the list is the closest. Selecting a pokemon in it will make the tracker pulse when you get nearer to it. 3 footsteps away mean THREE RINGS away (or more). 2 footsteps means TWO RINGS, one footstep means one ring and NO RINGS MEANS YOU CAN CLICK ON THAT POKEMON AND IT WILL APPEAR IN 10 SECONDS.
- Battery saver mode, found in settings, works as follows: Once clicked on, if you drop your phone to your side as you walk, with the top of your phone facing the ground, the screen will dim so only the pokemon logo shows. It still tracks your steps for your eggs and it will vibrate and beep when a pokemon shows up. As soon as you lift your phone to your face (right side up) the screen will appear again as normal!
- The higher level you get, the more rare pokemon you come across.
I think that’s all I’ve learned so far. Send me an ask or message if you want me to add or change any info here! Happy hunting!!!!
