Imagine playing a survival horror game where instead of being a gritty reporter or a single parent or a tortured soul with amnesia, you’re a cat. You live in a haunted house, and it is your job to defend your human/s from harm.
Instead of weapons, you fight with your claws. You jump, you twist, and your meows and hisses have different abilities. But if you make TOO much noise, your human/s hush you, and you can’t continue with your assault until they’ve left you be.
There are various spirits and some are helpful. Ghost mice give you life, ghost crickets give you information, and a former Guardian cat is your guide. You have to succeed where your predecessor failed- finding the source of the haunting and getting rid of it.
And if you don’t succeed, your human dies, and you are left alone.

Did you know?
If your state has closed primaries, you will not be able to vote for candidates outside of your affiliated party. This means that if you are registered as a republican or an independent or anything other than democrat, you will be unable to vote for Bernie Sanders, who is caucusing with the Democratic Party.
People keep stressing the importance of voting for Bernie Sanders in the primaries, and this is a great tool to figure out how exactly to do that in your state.
(Useful for voting in primaries in general.)
this is strangely adorable
NOOO THIS IS SO CUTE!!!! OH NO!!!! THE FUTURE IS HERE AND IT IS ADORABLE!!!
Traces of coca and nicotine found in Egyptian mummies – WTF fun facts
well DUH. a lot of historians are still trying to process the fact that ancient egyptians knew how to build boats, which is ridiculous. why would they not be seafarers and explorers?
this is not new or surprising information at all. it pretty much day one of any african-american studies course.
the egyptians knew that if they put their boats in front of the summer storm winds it’d blow them right across the sea to the Americas and they shared that with the greeks.
It’s really hard for people to understand that everyone had boats, exploration, and trade interactions without the same level of murder, colonization, and violence that the Europeans did. It’s really hard for people to get that.
An 11,000 year old Iroqious boat.
A whole book about Ancient Egyptian Maritime technology and culture.
Scientists “shocked” to discover that humanity casually traveled the seas over 100,000 years ago.
The Sea-Craft of Prehistory (book; Eurocentric as heck)
Humans traveling long distances by sea and deep=sea fishing for c. 42,000 years
The Dufuna Canoe, Africa’s oldest surviving boat, is 8,000 years old (Nigeria)
A fleet of 5,000-year-old boats in Abydos, Egypt
7,000-year-old seaworthy vessels in Kuwait
7,500-year-old boat found in China’s Zhejiang Province.
Scientific Evidence for Pre-Columbian Transoceanic Voyages (273 pages-for the hardcore only!):
The only plausible explanation for these findings is that a considerable number of transoceanic voyages in both directions across both major oceans were completed between the 7th millennium BC and the European age of discovery. Our growing knowledge of early maritime technology and its accomplishments gives us confidence that vessels and nautical skills capable of these long-distance travels were developed by the times indicated. These voyages put a new complexion on the extensive Old World/New World cultural parallels that have long been controversial.*WALL PUNCH* THIS POST JUST GAVE ME SO MUCH NEW HISTORY TO LEARN! THANK YOU MEDIEVALPOC!
Uhm – this isn’t exactly news? Thor Heyerdahl pretty much proved that decades ago with his Expedition Ra? Just because you Americans live behind the moon when it comes to history, doesn’t mean the rest of us do?
DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT ORDER FROM IRISHSUSCO!! They’ve copied pictures and prices from a lady named Monique Lula and it’s a total scam! They take your money and NEVER ship your item! If you have ordered from them, CALL YOUR BANK.
I am apparently 1 of THOUSANDS affected. Please boost this.
Please everyone. The holidays are right around the corner!
Guys, please pass this around. Those messages about the virus are really something that should not be ignored. I woke up today with three of these messages in my inbox. Three. This virus this is getting smarter and smarter by the minute. I understand that they are anonymous, but DO NOT answer them because after this, you’ll get fanmail that you’ll accidentally click on and that’s when you’ll get the virus. I’m honestly not sure if I want to be on tumblr with this happening. Please spread this around and everyone stay protected.

It’s a good thing I just assume no one has a crush on me
flower language has always been an intense source of disappointment for me
like, they all mean really generic things like “love” or “forever” or “i’m sorry”
i thought you could combine flowers
like you could just send someone a bouquet and from the combination of hibiscus and posies and tulips they’d understand “the rebel leader is dead, rendezvous at the docks at 8, bring the dog, you will need lighter fluid and a large tomato”
I really hope no one’s answered this for you yet, I saw this and got so excited that my obscure knowledge base might come into use. I had to stretch a few flowers so to speak but Victorian flower language allows for alteration in meaning depending on colour, fruit, flower, bud, steam, leaves and thorns, so I didn’t feel I was too far out of line. This message would work best as two bouquets bound together. First red Nasturtium with no leaves (red denotes a leader, the nasturtium a patriot) mixed with white or red Mask Flowers (rebellion, red if you want to emphasize fighting, white martyrdom) around Cypress (death). Then Chick weed (rendezvous) and Blue Convolvulus (night) surrounded by eight White Popular Leaves (symbolises the time: eight), Yellow Iris (flame, and a flower that grows by rivers) and Yellow Prarie Dock Flowers (this was closest I could find to docks)and one large Tomato Leaf, all bound in Dogwood Bark. Dogwood represents deceit, but as far as I could find the bark wasn’t used symbolically, and as you referred to the dog instead of a dog, I thought it was likely the pun should be a dead giveaway.
So there’s your rebel message!
This is amazing.
#thank you flower arranging side of tumblr
I love this.
