we recently made a discord server for people who do drama at my school and a cis guy irl has randomly decided to one-sided beef with me. so i’m having a conversation when he rolls up & randomly pings me saying he wants more pronouns than me. and i’m like Well. This isn’t hurting anyone. Maybe he’ll do some introspection
so he tells me in addition to he/him, he’d also like they/them, it/its, and the “other” role. since i don’t have they/them, he would therefore have more pronouns than me. so i congratulate him, but then i point out what that “other” means.
i have an en.pronouns linked on my discord with my neopronouns written down. i show him this. i explain what neopronouns are.
he then proceeds to copy&paste a list of 40 sets of neopronouns. just to “have more than me”. at no point did i care about this hallucinated conflict so i tell him he wins
update: he’s asking me to give him an “alpha/alphaed” pronoun set rn. i’ve told him that he needs to give me the full 5-word conjugated set before i do. this is the ultimate test for a 14 year old boy
last year i was eating in a fancy, large restaurant when i began to hear a rumble and the distant sound of people chanting ‘potassium, potassium’ and suddenly hundreds of people dressed as bananas flood this restaurant chanting potassium over and over and we were trapped there for a very long time because the bananas would not leave and they were everywhere
i wasn’t joking
this post has haunted me for like 3 years. every time i start to think i imagined it, it shows up on my dash again and then immediately disappears into the ether for another 17 months
I think I would get along well with the potassium crowd
gerb was my high school physics teacher. (gerb is short for mr. gerber.) when we were learning about radiation and whatnot, and we touched on radiation poisoning, gerb decided to tell us a story.
when gerb was in high school, he worked in a supermarket. a cashier. there was this one little old lady, mrs. cassopolis, who was a regular. mrs. cassopolis firmly believed that the lasers used to scan her food items would give her radiation poisoning. they tried to explain that’s not a thing. but old cass wouldn’t hear a word of it.
the employees had to punch in every. last. grocery. item. MANUALLY.
and this woman would buy cartfulls of food every week, like any good grandma trying to feed her five children and eighteen grandchildren every time they come for a Sunday visit. so pretty soon, the employees figured out a strategy to get her on her way and get on with their lives.
one or more employees would distract old cass while the cashier would scan all the items he could as fast as humanly possible while she wasn’t paying attention.
now this supermarket had a rewards program for its most efficient workers. the computer would track how quickly the cashiers scanned items, and how many total they scanned in one day, that kind of thing. so one day, gerb’s boss came to him and said “uh,”
“you scanned three hundred items in six minutes last Tuesday during your shift” and gerb says “i recall” “that’s about four times faster than anything i’ve ever seen” and gerb says “yea ok” “jeremy what happened?”
and gerb says
“i had to save a little old woman from placebo radiation”

obsessed with this person who thinks that im monopolizing the notes industry and taking them away from “real artists.” like. hello
spot the tiktok intruder class 101
Oh, but you don’t understand, me papa put me in the notes mine, and I see it drying up every day. Do not reblog this post lest we run out of precious and limited notes to give
i love you USPS I love you NASA i love you taxpayer funded services that actually contribute positively to society i love you libraries i love you public transport
when you’re out at a restaurant or a coffee shop or a target or whatever with your friends and you overhear/eavesdrop the same snippet of some stranger’s conversation, and you look at each other for a second to check that you both heard this stranger say the same weird/funny/baffling thing and just break out in knowing grins and quiet laughter… that’s a love language
I hope Robert and Barbara Wire are in a happy and committed relationship.
Jerry Seinfeld says that you could never do Seinfeld today but one time when I was really high I fell asleep and dreamed a new episode where Jerry came out of the closet as a trans woman and Elaine wanted to be supportive so she gifted Jerry a dress that she didn’t really like but when Jerry wore the dress out she got tons of compliments and Elaine gets super pissed about it because she never got any compliments when she wore it but couldn’t say anything because she didn’t want anyone to call her a fake ally.
REPOST : Roman stylus 70AD, in comon vanacular translates into “i went into the city and all i bought you was this lousy pen” , link and full translation in the comments [640 x 320]
Fucking screaming, shitty souvenirs haven’t changed a bit in almost 2000 years
The inscription has been painstakingly examined and translated by classicist and epigrapher Dr Roger Tomlin. It reads:
‘ab urbe v[e]n[i] munus tibi gratum adf(e)ro acul[eat]um ut habe[a]s memor[ia]m nostra(m) rogo si fortuna dar[e]t quo possem largius ut longa via ceu sacculus est (v)acuus’
‘I have come from the City. I bring you a welcome gift with a sharp point that you may remember me. I ask, if fortune allowed, that I might be able (to give) as generously as the way is long (and) as my purse is empty.’ In other words: the stylus is a gift to remind the recipient of its sender; the sender acknowledges that it is a cheap gift and wishes that they could have given more. Its tongue-in-cheek sentiment is reminiscent of the kinds of novelty souvenirs we still give today. It is the Roman equivalent of ‘I went to Rome and all I got you was this pen’, providing a touching personal insight into the humour of someone who lived nearly 2000 years ago.
this specific frame of jack black from the minecraft movie trailer looks like he just realized he threw his best friend under the bus because of a cheeky political joke just so he could keep getting booked for shitty kids movies for the rest of his life
seeing people in the notes being confused over the specificity of this remark so lemme summarize real quick:
researching parrying daggers as a fun little treat and i’m delighted by how much every single one of these things looks like it’s designed to be as annoying as possible

this one is my favourite. it’s called a swordbreaker. it looks like a weaponised version of snagging your clothes on a door handle. if you caught my blade in one of these things there isn’t a force on earth that could deliver you from my fury.

So the verse in question says the Levites will receive a tithe from all Israel for their service in the tabernacle. The full context of where that verse comes from revolves around how the priests are supposed to be paid for performing the dangerous task of communing with God and offering sacrifices for the whole nation. It’s essentially the same thing as firefighters getting paid by city taxes.
Fun fact: The very previous verse is “And the LORD said to Aaron, "You priests will receive no allotment of land or share of property among the people of Israel. I am your share and your allotment.”“
So if this Landlord is trying to compare themselves to a Levite, then they cannot own property in the first place
I come bringing news from Twitter for those of you wise enough to no longer be there.
In case you didn’t hear, Elon has made it so that your likes are no longer public. Now there are a few theories as to why he did that. Some people think it’s because it makes it easier to fake interactions with bots. Others think it’s because people found him liking embarrassing tweets and making fun of him. Others think it’s so that bigots can get away with liking terrible posts without being called out for it.
Regardless, this has led to a new trend where in order to show that people like something publicly, they do this:

I’m expecting this image to go places, honestly. It’s a perfect encapsulation of so much, all in one compact image. Perhaps the pink sheep screams because he knows what sterilized hell he is condemned to live within
