saw a tiktok of a mother taking her very tiny daughter to an art museum and she’s just walking around going “whoooa” “woooaah” to everything but then they got to a marble statue of a nude woman lying on her back and the girl points and goes “mommy🫵” and i just immediately welled up with tears and all the comments are just laughing about it and of course it’s funny but how are you not insanely moved by the way art connects everyone on earth from a centuries-old sculptor to a toddler in 2023

Hey, Tumblr. You like non-stereotypical depictions of autism? What about ✨ neurodivergent protagonists ✨ ? Yes? What about asexual neurodivergent protagonists that go on chapters-long rants about their special interests? You want gay characters that are important to the plot too? Then I’ve got the book for you! The author is gay!!! American Psycho, by Bret Easton Ellis, is
btw body horror is stuff that doesnt naturally occur and is used to scare ppl, like extra eyes, animal parts on a human, a mouth opening in the stomach, not. disabled people’s bodies lmao.
This post was a plea to stop treating visibly disabled people as monstrous because of the differences their disabilities have caused. It was not an invitation for people to argue what is and is not body horror. It was a call out for dehumanization, not the horror genre.
bringing this back around for IFEW (international face equality week)!! take this time to educate yourself on disfigurement and similar things, and take the steps necessary to become a more accepting and understanding person!! disfigurement and disability is not something to be afraid of!!
I am so, so sure that my cousin meant to type something else, but I’m going to cry. Welcome to my bathroom themed bathroom… Pictures of other people’s bathrooms on the walls… Little bathtub figurines on the sink… Soap dispenser shaped like a toilet… Life could be a dream… in my bathroom themed bathroom…
if you’re unsure, the easiest way to check/update Firefox is
open the application menu (three horizontal lines in the upper right corner)
click Help > About Firefox
in the pop-up window, look for the version number under the header. If it’s 131.0.2, you’re in the clear. If not, there should be an option that says “restart to update Firefox.” Click that.
You’re good to go 👍
just did this, it took maybe 30 seconds total and it saved all my open tabs. update if you haven’t!
you guys gotta be able to learn how to hate a celebrity for petty reasons because when you start bringing morality into the equation you’re gonna have to confront the fact that a lot of celebrities you like do the exact same things and i know for a fact most of you cant deal with that
be honest with me. look me in the eye. do you think taylor swift is the only famous person with a private jet.
in cryptography, “alice”, “bob”, etc. are used instead of “person A”, “person B”, etc. to make scenarios like “alice wants to send a message that bob can read but carol can’t” easier to read. by convention this practice extends to parties with special roles – “eve” is an eavesdropper, “mallory” is a malicious actor, etc. here’s the wikipedia article. anyway the xkcd joke can be read as using nerds’ interests in arcane algorithms to explain regular human interaction, humorously reversing the original utility of the convention, and the rest is basically your typical (affectionate) tumblr “but what if it was yuri” posting.
sometimes i think about the history of coffee culture in islam and how it spread like it’s so funny
discovered by sufis who decided it was a miracle from Allah since it allowed them to stay up late into the night for night worship
miracle beans = UNLIMITED DHIKR
cue scholars debating for years about whether it’s haram or halal and if it should be classified as an ‘intoxicant’ or not
fast forward to 16th century ottoman empire, where a woman had the legal right to divorce her husband if he failed to provide her with enough coffee
europeans called it the “mohammaden gruel” or “devil’s drink” bc they believed it to be a “bitter invention of satan and his followers”
fast forward to pope clement viii finally giving in and tasting it to see what the hype is about and then stating: “This Satan’s drink is so delicious that it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it.”
pope clement viii then proceeds to BAPTIZE THE COFFEE BEANS
the tags on this post are some of the funniest i’ve ever seen in my notifications but this one made me choke on my Mohammedan Gruel

I love trying to look up the lyrics for a song and instead having the Genius website make my phone hot while it loads five ads and autoplays a video of Oop Slurp explaining the meaning behind his song She Fuck Me Like I’m Dr Phil
Just a quick not friendly reminder: someone who has apologized for past mistakes, made amends for past actions, and clearly no longer holds past beliefs, is a far better person than one who digs up old dirt and uses a person’s past that no longer exists against them.
If you are hell bent on sorting every person in the world into groups of either “has done something problematic” or “is ideologically perfect and has never made any bad decision” then ever person into the world is going to get sorted into the problematic group. The sooner you acknowledge this truth, the better.
That doesn’t mean accountability doesn’t exist. That doesn’t mean there aren’t unforgivable wrongs. It just means that people are human and therefore make mistakes. Refusing to acknowledge that nuance makes you delusional, not morally superior.
We don’t punish the behavior we want to see. We want people to grow and mature and become better. It’s a good thing for people to change their mind and be better.
one time this nondescript guy came into my dunkin donuts and ordered a small black coffee with blueberry flavor shot, and for some reason that peculiar order stuck with me so much that when, seven months later, i saw him in the parking lot walking towards the door, i quickly made a small black coffee with blueberry flavor shot. he ordered it and i was already holding it.
i would describe his demeanor that second time as “incredulous”
What the fuck who drinks that
it’s such a perfectly bonkers order because like, most unusual orders are maximalist and sugary but this one just combines the most basic drink with the most incongruous little add-on. it’s the order of a simple, regular man who has something wrong with him
this post always makes me laugh. this guy has the weirdest drink order and he probably never goes to this dunkin’ if it took seven months for the barista to see him again. so think about a coffee shop you go to so little you’re not even sure if you’ve gone there before and you walk in and the barista hands you the drink you were about to order before you even ordered it. he will remember that for the rest of his life
“it’s the order of a simple, regular man who has something wrong with him” gets me every time.
something I’ve been working on overcoming lately…… maybe others can relate
had to reduce The Imposter’s level of detail for recording, but he’s actually very complicated and made up of countless writhing tubes.. ……..which may also be relatable to others.
My stance on the Loch Ness monster is that it’s not real and we should fix that.
Are we making a robot, bioengineering a new creature or trying to Jurassic Park a plesiosaur?
Open to other ideas too of course!
All good choices. I say we set up three teams, give each a billion pounds, and then see who has best result after 5 years.
Worst case, we just end up with three Loch Ness Monsters.
Alternatively, one Jim Henson student who can hold their breath for a long time
Can we also make the ogopogo real too
Well obviously. Loch Ness is just being used as the technology development platform. Once we’ve got at least one Nessie, we can bring this tech to cryptids around the world.
Ogopogo? Real now. Mokele-mbembe? Real. Those “here there be dragons” sea serpents the size of sailing ships? Real. One ate a container ship last week.
The Flatwoods Monster is being worked on, the Jersey Devil got caught up in lawsuits, and we’re currently talking to a polycule in Seattle about becoming the first tribe of Bigfoots.
“The average captain kills 4.6 crew members a year” factoid is a statistical error. Murders Odysseus, who killed 599 members of his crew is an outlier adn should not be counted
