Legendary voice actor Peter Cullen, best known as the iconic voice of Optimus Prime in the ‘Transformers’ franchise, has sadly passed away at the age of 85. (via TMZ) 🕊️

Peter Cullen’s family has confirmed that the legendary voice of Optimus Prime passed away peacefully. “His family asks that you honor his remarkable legacy by serving your communities and leading others with compassion, integrity, and loyalty and always remember, ‘be strong enough to be gentle.’”

somewhat motivated by everyone’s response to Dolly and Tim Curry passing to remark: if you were moved by them be what moves you. Be kind, generous, make weird fucking art, help people, sing bawdy songs and do drag

the lessons we need to take are clear. Dolly said "find out who you are and do it on purpose", and Tim Curry's line is "don't dream it, be it" they would both be disappointed if we wrote that off as corny. so what? it's necessary. we have everything to lose if we are dishonest to ourselves.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

NO PLEASE GOD NO NOT THE QUEEN

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

This sounds like a bit but I assure you it is not: One of the most important things Dolly Parton did, in addition to the millions of dollars in charity and support for marginalized communities, is be an icon that showed women can be beautiful and have big ol' tits and ALSO be brilliant and strong

dolly parton taught millions of children to read dolly parton raised millions of dollars for cancer research and disaster relief dolly parton stood by the lgbtq community her entire life dolly parton personally helped fund the moderna vaccine if there was a right side of something she was on it

Dolly Parton was a friend to science, literacy, and the queer community when not many else dared. If you’re looking for a way to remember her, consider donating to her Imagination Library, which has provided over 330 million books for children internationally. imaginationlibrary.com

i have zero affiliation with heliosphere's dev team and i still was compelled to make this to share just how much BETTER the actual website and HS plugin are for mod management. it is a night and day difference in terms of how bad XMA's user experience is by comparison please give heliosphere a try!

Feristal J@feristalj.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Seeing the huge rise of AI vibe plugins on XMA really sucks (but also using this to advertise Heliosphere again) I definitely implore again that people should use Heliosphere more. Even for modders you can upload to Heliosphere and link it through XMA like this if you're worried about traffic.

I'm gposing to take my mind off of some personal stuff that's happening, and I am wheezing at my chocobo. That is the most "this is some suspicious shite going on here." expression I've seen.

Wattpad, the story site that housed a thousand variations on FIFTY SHADES OF GREY, is now doing what every platform does: use sexuality to grow in popularity, then abruptly clamp down on it in hopes of further corporate investment. Didn’t work for Tumblr or others but here we go again.

Sometimes being anti-AI feels like being the guy in the bee movie who was like “why are you cheating on me with a bee” and everyone acts like he‘s the crazy one

Perhaps we should stop making new nicknames for the FFXIV races cause you are walking a very very fine line between new easy word abbreviation and something that sounds like a racial slur without context Seeing the word “Higgy” used to describe a Highlander was not on my bingo card. Pls stop I beg

Do NOT support this Boycott Tim Hortons. This is so fucked. Stop giving that horrible woman money

hey just a quick reminder: just because someone posts NSFW art or writing doesn't mean they are open to sexual advances, this includes attempts to start text RP✌🏼

hey do you think about the dusk vigil ever all of coerthas western highlands of course, some of the best environmental storytelling in the game. i think all the time about the garrison out there, all alone in the face of the horde and the calamity, still doing their duty as they froze and starved.

whenever younger folks talk about an AO3 app or apps for fiction platforms in general they NEED to understand the kind of terms of service they're expecting their artwork and reading to be filtered through as a result. there is always a cost to comply with big tech.

#AO3 has no official app. All AO3 apps are from third parties – please be cautious about sharing your data with them. For information about why we don't have an app, and tips to make your AO3 experience more app-like, check out our latest news post: otw-news.org/yckzuv3v

Y'all I went looking for the "Don Bluth drew two men" joke and I came upon a realization. Meteor is now also Rick O'Connell from The Mummy. I AM UNWELL.

Upon further realization...

"I'd kill for my child" okay but would you put aside your preconceived notions of gender or sexuality for your child? would you apologize to your child when you're wrong? would you tell your child they can be whoever they want to be, and mean it? your child doesn't need more killing in their name

When both of your partners are shorter than you, and they have to stack to pin you to the wall. Even sitting on G'raha's shoulders, Ashe is too short to reach the wall to pin Magnai, so she's grabbed his horn instead. He doesn't mind.

as much as xiv is a game about men one cannot overlook the ultimate symbol of pain for the helplessness of sentient beings across the universe being a teen girl
