it’s a little sad that people expect songs to always reflect the lives of the lyricist and not a sign of the lyricist’s strong imagination.
you don’t know mitski. you don’t know hozier. kate bush did not witness a murder of a hammer horror star and take their role as the hunchback of notre dame (it would be fun if she did though)
i haven’t really listened or liked any t-swift song since she switched to pop (nothing against pop, judas by lady gaga 4ever) but I think the funniest thing she could do rn is write a vague song that sounds like she murdered someone and feels guilty, but doesn’t want people to know because she’s famous, and watch everyone go insane with theories
I have GREAT news for you about the song Out of the Woods by Taylor Swift
I had a super vivid dream last night about the next Pokemon games - called “Arid” and “Frigid”. The concept was biodiversity between two extreme regions that allowed the same Pokemon to have not one but two very distinct regional variants in the same region - one cold, one hot. The gimmick was bringing back tri-battles, but the same Pokemon species would have 3 different typings of your standard triangular system -one weak, one strong (or closest possible). So like a fire Pokemon would have a water and grass variant, and a Fighting Pokemon could have Ice and Flying. The upper portion of the region was mountainous tundra with heavy water and snow motifs, and the south was a lush desert with beautiful floral cacti. In between was the common “flatlands” that would have your normal variant Pokemon.
Anyway I had the whole thing planned out from start to finish and the only detailed thing I can remember when I woke up is the stupid grass starter Dillerpillar
one time i went up to my friend (also my coworker) and gave him hug from behind and just like held him there for a moment and our one regular client walked in and was like “huh….so are you guys like….winnie the pooh and piglet?” and i lost my fucking mind. what does that mean. i also said yes and that i was pooh.
me and this coworker are now dating and the same client client came into today and was like “sooo winnie the pooh and piglet?” again so we asked him what he meant and apparently those were the only two male fictional characters he could think of that hug
i love Tumblr bc its like just having your own apartment. personal echo chamber. came from reddit where i could scarcely have conversation or say anything i want and everything that caught traction had to be a meme or trendy or some shit. twitter is the closest to this feeling but anything you say over there is so scrutinized. i can say anything here and anyone who calls me out has to come into my house and face my baseball bat
wheezing okay just so everyone knows. I too love semantic drift but that’s not what’s happening here. This is in fact a deliberate joke about semantic drift. this is not a scene from a 1940s film noir this is a scene from the 1995 sitcom The Nanny. This is on purpose!!
Had a panic attack at work last night and this clerk noticed and he got really close and said “hey look at me, just you and me” and then kept talking like normal and I looked away again and he stopped and more firmly said “look.at.me.” and it made me a lil wet ngl
Yeah this guy blew my back out this morning, follow your dreams everyone
He has decided he’s gonna do a fortnite emote after every time we fuck actually maybe reel your dreams in a little
Everyone’s a critic
Yeah we’ve been dating for a hot minute now and I know a lot more Fortnite dances tho so it turns out gamer IS sexually transmitted
Its due to actor contracts/star appeal most of tiem apparently. Can’t have faces covered too long apparently
…okay now I want a film where most of the action is in space suits colored like power rangers outfits to tell them apart.
This is the perfect idea for use of unknown actors - first roles, people who can body-act well. If they need dialogue, dub voice actors over them. Unknown physical actors combined with well-known, celebrated animation voice actors.
Like, “Okay, the purple astronaut is voiced by Tress McNeil! I think the green one is Mark Hammil? Is the white-suit Jonny Yong Bosch? Oh, dude, duuuude, is that Keston John voicing Blue?”
And it’s all done in-story with sci-fi com-systems so we can hear the dialogue, but nobody’s taking off their helment in a potentially toxic or oxygen-thin or potentially space-pathogen-laden atmosphere.
maybe it could have twist where the astronauts are not human at all.
yea this is Montreal, do you want to know how bad Montreal drivers are? only on the island of Montreal, is it illegal to make a right turn on a red light. because they don’t fucking look. it’s the only place I’ve ever been that has lost it’s “turning on a red light” privilege
but yea powdered snow is slippery af and the island is hilly and full of narrow streets. not designed for wheeled vehicles.
I need to reblog myself because I just found this on the gov of Quebec’s website
This is so funny. That’s one of the bus routes I take. I literally take this exact bus
thinking about that one wordless calvin and hobbes sunday strip thats just calvins dad ditching his work to go play in the snow… its going to make me cry
Love that they put “a sense of impending doom” as one of the symptoms of a heart attack, like girl, that’s just how it is to be alive these days, you’re gonna have to be more specific
This made me chuckle but after scrolling away I felt the need to come back to it.
Because as someone who has felt this I can not stress how different it actually is from anxiety. Which is saying a lot because I have a massive anxiety disorder.
I’ve only felt this twice in my life - once when I was going into kidney failure due to an infection and again when my body was going into shock due to dehydration and malnourishment due to GI issues - and I can not stress how much it saved my life. It’s hard to even put it into words. It’s not like a panic attack, or anxiety. It is a horrific gut turning feeling of absolute dread.
Especially if you have anxiety you’ll know the difference honestly. It’s so much worse. It’s every cell in your body and your brain screaming that there’s something horribly wrong in a way you’ve never felt. It’s your brain screaming out that you are going to die in a way no panic attack has ever done before.
I can not stress how important it is to get yourself to the ER if you feel this way. Especially if your having other physical symptoms.
This is amazing and incredibly helpful, oh my god. Thank you.
Seconding the above : I was going into shock from internal bleeding, and that sense of “something is gravely wrong” was entirely different from my day-to-day whirlwind of anxiety.
For me, it was very quiet. For me, there was a deep sense that I could just lie down on the floor and not have to ever get up again, no effort required.
That combined wrongness/relief was so weird and so unsettling that I drove myself to the ER.
The “impending” part is really key to that symptom, I think, based on my experience. It’s not the existential dread of late-stage capitalism grinding the world into nurdles. It’s a ghost crow on your shoulder whispering “it’s here, it’s now.”
Impending doom is also a feature of anaphylaxis, something I’m intimately familiar with as someone with mast cell dysfunction.
For me, its the overwhelming, near calm certainty of doom that distinguishes it from the jittery panic of “but something could go wrong.”
There’s no “what if?” There’s no room to question it. It just IS. And it’s very different from the “calm” of disassociation too. I’m not disassociated from myself when it happens. I’m probably actually the most present ever.
I’ve turned to doctors and told them calmly and with utter certainty “I am going to die” and the reaction that calm certainty gets is immediate intervention because doctors also recognize that stillness as the body not bothering to waste any time on fight or flight and just going straight to “death is imminent due to some internal failing, act accordingly.”
When I was lying in bed recovering from a hit to the head, I remember a moment in the middle of the night where I went from a sorta half asleep state to being instantly wide awake and feeling, with absolutely certainty, that I was about to die. It was dead silent in my head other than that thought, screaming at me that Something Is Wrong, something is Terribly Wrong. It was like I could feel the dread seeping into my bones, my chest, like I could see it in the back of my eyes, sense it around the corner. Everything was going haywire, like a train was blowing its whistle and I was on the track and my body was trying to get me to Move Dammit.
I called emergency services and tried to explain what I’m feeling. I thought I would be written off, but when I started describing the feeling, immediately the dispatcher sent paramedics to my apartment. Good thing too, as I had a stroke in the ambulance.
Impending doom is real, and a defense mechanism created by the brain to get you to get medical help for something that you cannot handle by yourself, and as someone with panic disorders, it is wildly different and arguably even more terrifying than any attack I’ve ever had.
Oooh oooh! I had this when my kidneys gave out after having been backed up and infected for a couple years!!!!
It was this “Something is Wrong” feeling and it is very difficult to describe just how urgent and different it feels from the usual “Whelp, I’m going to die.” feeling anxiety has.
I got to the ER in time and they slapped antibiotics on me before even knowing what was wrong, and I felt better by the next morning but I was thisclose to dying.
The danger feels so real, and it has driven me to the ER a couple of times because there was no way my body could feel this cold, this hot, this shaky, this fast, this full of dread, and for something to not be wrong.
And there was something wrong. My body was flooded with all kinds of stress hormones in response to trauma. It was my brain misfiring and insisting we had to run because there was a metaphorical tiger stalking me through the tall grass, and we needed to get away now, now, now.
I still experience episodes like this – largely due to the repeated trauma of almost dying several times, but while I know the danger feels real (and that there could be something else wrong with me, I do not dismiss that), I am now also in a unique position to know that this feeling is not what they mean when they talk about Impending Doom.
Even when I’ve been detached and disassociated from myself or had psychosis from medication interactions, part of me still knew on some level that I was panicking, and I was alive enough to panic.
Impending Doom is not like that.
There is no franticness to impending doom. No room for questions. It just is. It’s in every cell of your body; every piece of your brain resonates with it. There’s no anxiety. There’s no panic. There’s no fear. There’s no fight, flight, or freeze. You’re just certain.
I know it sounds trite to say it, but you will know because there is no way to mistake it for anything else.
You are going to die, it’s a fact, and you are eerily calm about it.
Like I don’t think words can ever fully express how still everything feels. How still you feel as a person. It’s like your body just shuts everything else off but in a very present and coherent way.
I had a doctor friend tell me once it’s a bit like the uncanny valley of calmness. No one should be able to look at you and describe what they’re feeling at that moment with that level of calm certainty. If they do, something is very, very wrong, and it pings a sense of urgency that you don’t always see in the ER, even when someone’s sitting in the corner holding their detached finger on ice.
Sorry. I feel like this is a lot of inane repetition on my part. But hopefully, it helps somewhat. It really is such a unique experience words can’t do it justice.

So LGBTQ+ is now completely illegal in Russia. I wonder if anyone going to talk about that. I’m so tired
I really try to keep politics and more personal stuff out of my blog because that’s my escapism website but I really can’t NOT talk about it
Russian Supreme Court just banned “LGBT+ movement” as extremist. It’s basically illegal now. I saw the news when I wasn’t home and I spend next 2h trying not to cry before I actually get home
I’m russian and I’m asexual. I’m maybe non-binary and sapphic, I’m still figuring it out.
And I can’t say that I love my country. I disagree with lots of its politics and laws, but. I was born here. I was raised here and I live here and it’s home. My home, which, apparently, hates my existence. I wish I could really, fully hate it back but I can’t. It’s home.
I get that most of the world doesn’t really care about russians right now because well. We are the bad guys. But please, talk about russian queers. I don’t know what else to say. We exist. We want to matter at least to someone.
sometimes it is straight up impossible accommodate some disabled people in a particular event. someone’s dietary needs are too restrictive for anything provided to be edible for them. sometimes your house or apartment has unavoidable stairs that your landlord refuses to have adjusted. sometimes a deadly allergen is going to have to exist in a workplace (for example a company that makes peanut butter is not going to be able to have a peanut free workplace).
the solution is not to deny this. the solution is to be upfront about it and let us make our own decisions and cost/benefit analysis about whether to attend.

Some messages left by queer Palestinians who face annihilation by the Israeli government in their retaliation against Hamas. The Israeli government has dropped thousand of bombs, leveled streets, cut off water, gas, and electricity, bombed hospitals, ambulances, mandated evacuation and then bomb evacuees. Innocent people are dying in the mass.
There is no need for this government to employ these acts of collective punishment. The same logic that is used to condemn the acts of Hamas, should be used to condemn the actions of the Israeli government. No one deserves to slaughtered and dehumanized.
And keep in mind, that this terror is not unusual for the Palestinian people, and this is another horrific event in a decades long oppression and apartheid.
You shouldn’t date or become serious friends/partners with someone if you can’t stomach the thought of being stuck in a car or train with them for 16 hours.
Here’s my logic:
You should be able to work together to solve unexpected problems like fixing a flat tire or getting lost in an unfamiliar station
You should feel comfortable and safe enough around this person that you can sit in comfortable silence
You should be able to keep each other interested and deal with each others boredom in a healthy way
If you’re gonna form a long term partnership with someone you should probably be able to tolerate each other while locked in a small box for a few hours
These tags are hilarious even though I don’t think you intended them to be.
*pulls European closer* The most populous countries in the world are China, India, the United States, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Brazil in that order, with these seven nations alone making up 48.16% of the world population. You may note with the aid of a map that many of these nations are quite large, and would take several days of travel to go across either in cars or on boats. Almost half of the world’s population lives in places where you can travel in a cramped vehicle for days and still be within the country. Your worldview is limited and Europe is a tiny outlier in travel time and standards for international relations.
like man doesn’t it fucking suck that there’s not really any public space. that you can’t go anywhere without spending money on food or transportation, that unless you wanna sit on a mall bench all day or browse library shelves you basically can’t do anything in public? even standing in front of a building without paying for something (“loitering”) is illegal. everything is built to punish homeless people which means if you ever want to sit down or rest or exist in public every building and park bench and windowsill is telling you to kill yourself instead. maybe that has something to do with the unpleasantness of online spaces, where everyone is shoved together into a giant digital chamber because it’s the only “public square” still available while also being isolated and alone in their room on their phone because everything sucks and a global pandemic is still happening. like I’m just saying I think that has more to do with how annoying people are on the internet than like mcu fanfiction
a concerning amount of witchblr will be like “um actually new years was stolen by europeans from the ancient god scroobus mcdoobus” and then you actually try to research scroobus mcdoobus and it turns out he was invented in the 1940s by a conspiracy theorist who powdered every meal with ketamine and thinks that queer people are reincarnated fish
“We mistakenly believed we were executing unarmed Palestinians instead of real people”
its moments like this you really can tell that american police train with the idf
He said he was unable to answer immediately whether the three men had put their hands up or shouted to the soldiers […]
“The IDF emphasizes that this is an active combat zone in which ongoing fighting over the last few days has occurred. Immediate lessons from the event have been learned, which have been passed on to all IDF troops in the field,” Hagari said.
Israeli soldiers are now being told to “exercise additional caution” when encountering people in civilian clothes military spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said Friday, after the Israel Defense Forces said it accidentally killed three Israeli hostages in Gaza.
so they are 100% just killing unarmed, surrendering civilians, and this is only being reported on because three of the civilians they executed weren’t Palestinians
omfg im laughing so hard i fell asleep on my keyboard last night and i just found this
PAGE 1 OF 184
One entire row of ‘f’s takes 10 seconds to type. There are 45 lines per page, so you take 450 seconds per page. You claim to have typed 184 pages, which would take a total of 82800 seconds, or exactly 23 hours. You are a liar
You forgot that she was holding down the key. This accelerates the rate at which the f’s appear; once the ‘f’s appear at a rapid rate, it’s about 3.4 seconds per line. Also, 45 lines per page is generous - I counted and given that the page is Times New Roman, 12pt font, it’s about 41 lines.
This means that it’s 139.4 seconds per page, times 184 is 25649.6 seconds, and that rounds out to about 7.1 hours, or 7 hours 7 minutes.
hi, have you made a gimmick account blocklist? I know it's a MASSIVE ask, but it could be so so so useful to people who don't ever want to be gimmicked
What is a gimmick blog here as well as a good list
there are two types of gimmick blogs imo, one is the listing blog, such as how many 7’s, identifying blogs ect, the other is character blogs such as @black-magic-osha or @sans-in-heat, ill be covering the first kind as holy fuck its hard to tell sometimes…
Also anon you owe me, I’ve basically invited hell onto this blog
if were all catpeople there would be trans catboy forums devoted to how to dye over calico markings so you can pass better and another group of trans catboys who insisted that the only way to deal with it is to normalize catboys having calico markings. the discourse would be insane
meanwhile all the far right commentary catboy youtube channels would have videos titled ‘HAS “MALE CALICO” ACCEPTANCE GONE TOO FAR?’ with the thumbnail of some random calico catboy who was shown in 0.001 second of a popular clothing brand’s pride month ad
there would be a whole other discourse over why we should stop talking about calico catboys when no one knows the struggle of transitioning from a girl orange cat (cute) to a male orange cat (stupid)
The fact that there was an international outcry over the burning of Notre Dame , but not a single word uttered for the desecration and destruction of worship places, archives and libraries of Gaza and rest of Palestine ,many of which are FAR older than Notre Dame and other buildings in Europe should tell you enough about which countries are deemed worthy of respect and preservation in the West .
edit 09/15/2021: since this post apparently got featured, i should probably tell you all that this tweet is, in fact, fake. i didn’t know when i posted it, but it’s still funny.
