advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love
You get bigger so you can store even MORE love and appreciation for the world inside of you
It means you’ll be at the antique mall looking at a coffee table and thinking “blorbo and Squimbus would LOVE this coffee table”
Did a human being just die because of swiping the wrong way?
…And then, when you’re in the water and the car’s power systems (which operate the doors, because of course they do) have all gone down, how do you get out?
Why, you just partially disassemble the door and pull on one specific cable. (The image below via Warren Terra at Bluesky.)
…I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am never getting into one of these alleged vehicles. Ever.
Photographer Scott Taylor caught an ‘angry bird’ in real life. His camera captured a moment in which a cardinal’s wings were tucked tightly into its body, making the bird look like a fluffy red ball floating in midair.
The iron hand of Götz von Berlichingen (1480-1562), a knight and mercenary who lost his right arm in a siege [640×360]
points about this
-it was shot off by a cannon
-he continued being a knight for over 40 years after getting the iron hand
-it was delicate enough he could still write with a quill using it, which is important as he was described as a ‘warrior poet’
-after a merchant-punching life suitable for an elder scrolls protagonist he was outlawed by the holy roman empire, friends of his used a high diplomacy roll and a bribe to get him out, and he then almost immediately kidnapped a bishop
-after outlaw of the holy roman empire 2 electric boogaloo was placed under house arrest in a castle he had purchased with all his quest rewards to spend the next 20 years drunk off his ass
I can’t believe you’d make this post and not mention that his poetry contains the first known usage of the phrase “lick my ass”
Hellppp some transphobe found my posts about getting surgery and is yelling in my asks about how I mutilated my ‘perfect feminine body’ . I got my wisdom teeth removed.
zany to me how these um actually nihilists like to pretend that “um actually love/friendship/cooperation/kindness isn’t real bc we evolved that way to benefit ourselves as a species…” um YES? that’s also where tool use comes from? that’s where cooking comes from? am i supposed to think social bonds & tool use & cooking aren’t “real” because they evolved over time instead of appearing fully formed from the ether?
sorry u can’t enjoy things. im a superior being twirling a fork in my bowl of delicious noodles whilst staring in adoration at the world
“love isn’t real it’s a chemical reaction” hon i got news for u about chemical reactions and the nature of existence. it’s ALL chemicals. existence is literally all just chemicals. “we evolved social bonds to benefit ourselves” so you agree? you agree that social bonds are helpful and important enough that they literally shaped the history of human evolution? i do not think u are saying, what u think u are saying.
If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.
Yes, I’m doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.
Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I’m bad at tags.

TURN OFF YOUR OTHER PHONE AND DO NOT TURN IT ON AGAIN UNTIL YOU ARE ALONE AND SAFE BECAUSE THE ALARM WILL COME THROUGH AS SOON AS THAT PHONE IS POWERED ON.

If this doesn’t make sense, then good news it’s not for or about you but still reblog it because you never know who may need to know this.
judas was probably like “jesus has pulled off so many wacky things, he’ll get out of this one lickity split, and i get three shiny coins out of it, too”
there are so many eating disorder sufferers who struggle to recover not mainly bc they can’t afford treatment (this is the focus of accessibility discourse in the professional world and grossly overestimates the importance of treatment lol), but because they can’t afford the food. to recover we really can’t be experiencing chronic food restriction and deprivation, but food insecurity or the inability to buy the foods we want and need creates a setting of perpetual deprivation. and this is not only about the “bio” piece–there are also the psycho-social-spiritual dimensions of harm in not getting our basic needs met. it’s self-evident that this works against healing. if we are concerned w the accessibility of eating disorder recovery, we’d do well to focus less on professional services and more on being committed anti-capitalists.
i think freckles, stretch marks, tattoos, bruises, birthmarks and scars are probably the coolest thing, you started with almost a blank canvas and look at u now, all this evidence that you’ve lived and the sun has shone on you and you’ve grown and maybe tripped up a few times and liked an image so much u made it a permanent part of u, beautiful.

Do you understand how desperate someone has to be for them to run into the water to get a damaged box of god knows what?
What could have been going through their minds when they jumped into the water? Their children’s faces when they come home with a few cans of food? The promise of the family eating together?
I honestly can’t even fathom what other levels of cruelty Palestinians are supposed to endure before anything tangible is done about this genocide, of which this engineered mass starvation is only one part.
I mean, Elon really reads as somebody who has never gone to therapy. As in, he’s ignorant, prone to mistake his narcissism for being right, egoistic, lying. No mental progress. Just daddy’s money.
