anyone else incapable of not thinking “wow the amount of people and layers of work that went into this” anytime anything ever happens or exists? and i mean anything. think about any random thing right now. think about the phone in your hands, your favorite blanket, a game at a stadium, an arctic expedition, an app nobody uses. all the designers, planners, organizers, manufacturers, sailors, pilots, drivers, any and everyone involved in getting that thing to you or to exist. everything manmade that exists in this world wouldn’t be possible without hundreds or thousands of people being involved in its process. and I think that’s nuckin futs
I highly recommend the book Thanks a Thousand by A.J. Jacobs! He decided to personally thank every person involved with the production of his daily cup of coffee and quickly realized how difficult that really is! He started with his barista and tracked down everyone from the farmer who grew the beans to the driver of the truck who delivered them to the cafe to the construction worker who paved the road for the truck to drive, and so on. It’s an excellent read :)
I do it sometimes i did it a lot today tho cause I was in a MOOD okay??????
I bet he’s gonna delete this one
just because you said that I will fully dedicate myself to memorializing this post for ever. we will all be dust and bones and this shitty-ass post will loom above our graves, never-ending.
you have to let “dennys parking lot at 3 am” go. you have to think independently. you have to come up with your own strange places, and indeed your own strange times to be there. there’s authenticity in that
A wizard that has a really big meatball for the orb they ponder. They gaze into the meatball and come back with visions from alternate realities where food developed differently, worlds where carrots taste like apples, lands that outlaw the consumption of onions for spiritual reasons, even a land where the right to fried chicken at any moment is enforced by law!
I love the implication that it’s woke not because you can play a woman with a dick but because the woman’s are larger.
They’re just being true to the lore
can a male elf get a bigger penis by taking elfstrogen?
Elves are pretentious bastards so no. They need Elfsterone to get a bigger cock. The elves decided to switch their gendered hormones to be farther way from humans and dwarfs
Daily reminder that heteroaces, arohets, demihets and all other possible combinations are queer and just as much a part of the community as anyone. They are not “straight-light” or “basically hetero”. They are my comrades my siblings my blorbos my beloveds my poor little meow meows. If any are reading this rn omg hi bestie hiiiiiii
I truly am obsessed with how Knives Out was like. Hello Daniel Craig, man who has spent the past two decades of his career being alternately beaten up and objectified playing an action hero with no personality. Would you like to please put on a shirt and an incomprehensible vaguely Texan accent and flex your character acting dark comedy muscles as well as your pecs for a while. And he’s like BOY WOULD I and they made a work of art. Also love that they put Chris Evans in sweaters. Get your beefcakes then dress them nice make them soft and give them some bonkers character work to do it’s what cinema needs more of
I love that several people have responded to this with “op I forgive you cause you’re Scottish but that’s not a Texan accent” which is fair thank you I appreciate it but no two people have agreed on what accent it is which is also Absolutely fair and hilarious as a reaction to this film
Cannot stress enough that I do not know what the fuck a foghorn leghorn is but literally a hundred people have said it to me so far so I’m assuming it’s important to, like, Americans
The idea that Foghorn Leghorn,
The Rhode Island rooster from Looney Toons, is one of the Elder Gods of America, is honestly fascinating from a theological and folkloric viewpoint
Pardon me, but he is a LEGHORN, not a RIR. It’s in his NAME. Leghorns are an Italian breed. And yes, he is an elder god.
According to Foghorn’s Tvtropes page:
Presumably, it’s less that Foghorn Leghorn is a Rhode Island Rooster and more that he’s a Rooster who lives in Rhode Island, possibly a Central Virginian Leghorn Rooster living in Rhode Island, though that implies a complicated and interesting life story that took him from Central Virginia all the way to Rhode Island
I would not rely on TV Tropes as an unbiased source. Wikipedia simple says his species is officially “rooster” and mentions a Leghorn being a breed of chicken. TV Tropes probably thinks the Cornflakes chicken is a RIR too.
I am potentially willing to concede he is a “barnyard mix” (cross between breeds) and his father, Harold Leghorn, was a leghorn and his unnamed mother was a RIR or other dark variety.
I love this site.
Sometimes it’s 1:30 am and you own chickens and you’re drinking whiskey in the bath tub and accuracy about iconic fictional chickens is the hill to die on, ok, and that’s why I love Tumblr.
Where this post started
Where it ended up
I keep thinking about the fact that when I was growing up, “chickenhawk” was slang for a well-to-do older gay man who exclusively went after/dated twinks - like a sugar daddy, kinda, but with the implications that a chickenhawk can take advantage of a twink’s naivete - and I spent a while last night while I was stoned trying to figure out what a “baby chickenhawk” was and why one would be going after obvious papa bear Foghorn Leghorn.
P.S. I know it says his S.O. is “Miss Prissy” and that is the most drag queen name so my point stands
I’m starting to think a lot of people don’t realize their parents are abusive because we have so completely normalized some types of abuse as “unintentional” to the point people just automatically forgive them when they. really shouldn’t
guys. unnecessarily strict rules/punishments are abuse. repeated verbal insults are abuse. and for fuck’s sake, oh my god, NEGLECT IS ABUSE.
THIS INCLUDES EMOTIONAL NEGLECT.

This BLOODBATH WIZARD ULTRA DEADLYBATTLE ROYALE every wizard will have a hatchet thrown at them.
Well, not every wizard. I can only do so much and probably will throw hatchets at like, five wizards tops. But if you see a wizard, throw a hatchet at them.
Me as a kid rubbing my fingers across the screen of my gba to pet my lv 67 Mightyena so it won’t faint this turn & attack through confusion to finally beat the E4 having no knowledge of type matchups or proper teambuilding but relying solely on the power of love & friendship (&RNG) to win
THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP IS NOT LIMITED BY THE LIKES OF YOUR PUNY TECHNOLOGY. FRIENDSHIP. IS. MAGIC.

Okay I don’t know what’s going on but this doesn’t sound like good news so I’m putting this on my blog as well to spread awareness on whatever’s going on.

Excuse me what the actual fuck-
We need to put into consideration that other games are also might disappear! Like cuphead, hollow night, fall guys etc! They can all be cleared out from the market (idk what will happen with the physical copies) BUT it is 61 percent of games are made from unity! This is disgusting!
Please guys! We need to spread awareness of that horrible company and its evil doings!
the basic rundown is: you use the search bar to enter a topic, scientific paper name or DOI. the website then offers you a list of papers on the topic, and you choose the one you’re looking for/most relevant one. from here, it makes a tree diagram of related papers that are clustered based on topic relatability and colour-coded by time they were produced!
for example: here i search “human B12”
i go ahead and choose the first paper, meaning my graph will be based around it and start from the topics of “b12 levels” and “fraility syndrome”
here is the graph output! you can scroll through all the papers included on the left, and clicking on each one shows you it’s position on the chart + will pull up details on the paper on the right hand column (title, authors, citations, abstract/summary and links where the paper can be found)
you get a few free graphs a month before you have to sign up, and i think the free version gives you up to 5 a month. there are paid versions but it really depends how often you need to use this kinda thing.
I didn’t know about any of this! Thank you for sharing!
According to the 1,000 page “Mandate for Leadership” of Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation also seeks to fire tens of thousands of federal workers, abolish any recent changes to the Pentagon that have increased diversity, and outlaw pornography.
I’m pretty sure that the 20s will be remembered as the decade when all those things that have been set in motion during the century before it all actually happened causing the US (and everything it drags down with it) to actually straight up just go to shit.
I found an old rusty USB in the basement today should I see if anything’s on it
oh we’re off to a good start
These were the only two pictures on it, like 8 folders deep.
Anyone know… Gallifreyan?????
ALSO there were a bunch of ancient (okay from 2014) SCP games on it?? and a Gameboy Emulator and a copy of the game Lifehouse, based off the concept album The Who tried to write in the 70’s, but Pete Townsend got too lost in the sauce or whatever and had a mental breakdown and never finished it
Thank u for your translation also I don’t know how to feel about this but based on the name of the USB I can’t say I’m surprised
So Prismo got recast in the Fionna and Cake show cuz Kumail Nanjiani’s agents didn’t let him know the crew was trying to get him back to reprise the role
I remember back in 2011 there was a little flap caused when Weird Al put out his song “Perform This Way” for free online because Lady Gaga had denied permission to put it on his album (permission he never needed, but always got anyway). He’d been asked to supply not just lyrics but a recorded version before being denied, hence putting it out online. Fans of both artists were surprised and upset by this news.
One Weird Al fan who was massively surprised by all this was Stefani Germanotta, better known as Lady Gaga. It turns out that her manager had been the one handling the situation and never actually played the song for her. She quickly OK’ed it, and the song was still the lead-off single for the Alpocalypse.
And just makes me wonder how many of these “we actually asked but your team said no without consulting you” things happen.
This also reminds me of the Gary Larson/Jane Goodall thing, where Gary Larson (the guy who does “The Far Side”, of “Cow Tools” fame) put out the following comic:
TLDR version: The Jane Goodall Institute was not amused, and bugged Larson to pull it from publication… But Goodall herself saw it when she got back from the research trip she’d been on, thought it was HILARIOUS, and let the PR people who made the decision HAVE IT for giving him grief about it without consulting her first, before giving Larson the go-ahead herself; as a result, it got to go back into print. She even signed a copy of it for him!
One of my favorite stories, tbh.
I have heard of MANY similar stories. Especially since the strikes began. It turns out that many actors want to do indie movies, and ask their reps about it. The indie movies want them, and contact the reps. The reps refuse and never tell the actors about it.
I have also seen a situation where an author of colour wanted a certain director of colour to adapt her book, and the director also wanted to adapt the book, and both asked their agents to contact the other side… both agents returned, over and over again, for YEARS, with “refusals” from the other party. Only when they met at an event and both hesitatingly broached the subject did they find out the truth.
The Goodall story is slightly more complicated than that.
Larson got a scathing letter from the Jane Goodall society. He sent an apology, and that was that, until a few years later, when National Geographic was doing an issue dedicated to Dr. Goodall. They asked Larson if they could use the comic and he went “I would ordinarily say yes, but she was pissed about it.” And they went “we know her better than that. We’ll call her,” and called her. And she said “hold on I have to scream at someone but yes, I freakin’ loved it.”

remember in School of Rock where the black girl was afraid to say she wanted to be a singer because she was fat and didn’t want to get laughed at but Dewey was all “who gives a shit, I’m fat too and so is aretha franklin but we’re still valuable and we rock” and then the girl felt better without having to be told that beauty comes in all sizes or some other bullshit. thats the kind of body positivity I’m looking for. tell these babies that they’re worth a damn without tying it to any other arbitrary ideals
Also like. when she asks him why he isn’t on a diet. and you just know she has heard this dumb “tip” a million times before (“just go on a diet!” “if you really apply yourself you can easily use x amount of weight!” “you just don’t want it enough!”)
& Dewey just
there’s nothing wrong! with liking food! and being hungry! you don’t need to starve yourself to fit into some bs aesthetic! eat food!
Also that he cited a fat black woman singer specifically as it was the black girl who asked. gave her a direct representation of someone just like herself instead of citing anyone else
