Your timeline has been blessed by the raven of Friday Fortune, wishing for you the best of weekends.

A very fluffy raven waiting expectantly for a treat. Yami is getting much more comfortable with the camera. (Yami is an unreleasable raven kept under state and federao education permits in the USA).

i stumbled upon this accidentally but the tumblr fandom for Amadeus (1984) is absolutely popping OFF right now and i love it. it's a great movie and the toxic yaoi people are drawing is uniformly excellent

I just became aware of this incredibly relatable drawing by John Singer Sargent.

A pencil drawing of a woman reclining in bed, but her hands look kind of fucked up, and her face has been scribbled out, apparently in frustration by the artist

Learning about Japanese laws that require banks, phone companies, car rental firms, gyms and building owners to ask clients if they’re in the Yakuza and discussing which of the boys would not be capable of lying to them.

Phone text conversation with “Bruce Landlord”;

Landlord: “It is clear in the lease: no Yakuza are allowed in the apt. Sorry”

Landlord: “OK I will make an exception because he looks very polite”

This is literally what people do when they're not left scrambling for survival every hour of every day. They build communities, create things, contribute. Wikipedia isn't an anomaly, it is a distillation of human nature itself

“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”
