i actually kinda like it when a character getting better includes them becoming weirder and less polite and more confusing and strange. no more “domestication” i wanna see the weird guy be weird!!!
We need like “unclench your jaw” posts but for eye strain. Like
Go look at something 20ft away for 20 seconds.
take off your glasses if you wear them for 20 seconds
Recommended by my optometrist
Look at something 20 feet away, then 10, then 5, then one, then if you can your nose.
Repeat twice, then again without glasses.
Face forward look out of the corner of your eye. As far as you can look. Slowly move to the other corner. Repeat twice.
Look down as far as you can. Slowly look up. Repeat twice.
Roll eyes twice.
Close eyes for five minutes.
I do this every day usually at my halfway point. My migraines went away. My vision go better. Honestly stretching my eyes as she put it feels great too.
peeling those sour rainbow gummy strips into long thin strings and putting them into cheap energy drink to create something im calling battery acid spaghetti will update once ive finished it
dont do this
I really hope its not too bad bc i actually love both components.
it forms a dry skin at the top made of the sour pellets. not a great start.
tastes really good actually. i also feel like i am about to explode.
do not do this.
Unanimous consensus: Do not do this
Other people: Hold on I’m about to do this
Oh boy, a bunch of stone spikes standing in a barren wasteland. I’m certain this is a place of honor, and that many highly esteemed deeds are commemorated here. A place of value to be sure!

Yet another Tumblr classic rolls up on my feed
Actually I have both of these things give me a minute
Gritty sci-fi webcomic where partway through the third major arc the protagonists get trapped in some sort of utopian false reality by a mysterious godlike being, except they never escape and the comic just changes genres to quirky coffee-shop slice of life until it’s unceremoniously cancelled six years later.
Oh like the Riverdale TV series
Strictly speaking, the Riverdale version is an audience fakeout – it initially appears as though the gang is trapped in an idyllic false reality, but after a couple of episodes it’s revealed that everything is real and the gang just got sent back in time; the show’s framing later returns to the present just in time for the last of them to die of old age.
I… what? The fuck even was that show holy shit. That happened??? In “sexy edgy teen drama Archie”?
Maybe i should watch more tv…
Yeah, they all go back in time in an apparent excuse for the writers to spend a season doing a pastiche of the original Archie comics from the 1950s, though this is soon derailed by a Cold War spy drama subplot involving a sinister milkman, and then the show just ends.
I need everyone on this website to understand that HR 9495, the bill designed to strip the tax-exempt status of pro-Palestine non-profits, poses absolutely zero threat to your fanfic. Please get real
“I mean spirituality I agree with you here but a lot of these fanfic types are otherwise pretty politically shallow and apathetic so I mean if them fear mongering about their Pokémon porn or whatever gets some of them to call a representative or drop a dollar or two in free speech or civil liberty orgs pocket why not let them think the state is coming for their smut? Otherwise most of these fuckers probably wouldn’t give a fuck. Just as long as it don’t pass and people like the ACLU have money to fight it in court if it does. Fuck the why. I’ll take an actual victory over a moral victory any day of the week and twiced on Sunday.”
There once was a man trying to make a point about the kitchen. “The sink!” He said “the sink is the single most important thing in the kitchen! It washes, it provides drinking water! It helps you prepare all of your meals and cleans your dishes for you after! The sink is the most important!”
“However,” said a stranger coming through the crowd “you are forgetting about the countertop. It holds everything in the kitchen together. You prepare your food and serve your food ON the countertop. Even your prescious sink would have no where to be if it weren’t for the countertop!”
The man was stunned. He wasn’t prepared for a counterargument
I wrote this joke in a sleep deprived rage and its one of the best pieces of writing I have ever produced
I told this joke to my sister and she said “I need some time to let that sink in.”
Hi, OP here. Quick favor? Could you high five your sister for me? Thanks
They’re also meant for hiltops, not small rooms. Cant get the right reverb with all that echo.
they’re also meant to make you fight the english. don’t forget that part.
My fav bagpipe player was a dude who would go out to the middle of a soccer field near my college apartment on Sunday. No one was using the field and he’d just be out there playing his heart out and the sound were just spread out over the plains. I’d be working on art for class so I’d open the window and listen.
I still have fond memories of the day a kid biked up to the edge of the field, ran over to the bagpiper and the music stopped for a moment and as they talked. I couldn’t hear it but I had assumed the worst, that someone had decided to tell him to stop playing. Instead after the pause the musician seemed to nod, readjusted his bagpipes and started belting out the Star Wars theme.
Holyshit that is the most interesting thing I’ve heard in awhile
Holy shit yes
just to add that there are many kinds of bagpipes from England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Spain, and other countries that are specifically made for indoor playing and are soft and melodic, as well as all the outdoor pipes like the Scottish, Spanish, French, and many from the Balkans, Italy, Greece, central and Eastern Europe and so on - tumblr won’t let me post YouTube links here for some reason but search there for smallpipes, parlour pipes, border pipes, uilleann pipes, for some gentle examples - also for the love of the gods check out Cristina Pato, gorgeous and talented Spanish piper
Remember this viral post? Wanda and Jamal and her husband Lonnie are the most wholesome people, this story brought tears to my eyes originally and I am crying once more learning from Jamal’s social media that Lonnie has sadly passed away.
Rest in Peace, Lonnie :(
Whenever I lose faith in humanity, I remember these four lovely folks and feel a little better 🥺
German company Kärcher has used its high-powered pressure washers to create an enormous Godzilla on the Iwaya Kawauchi Dam in Saga Prefecture, Japan, to celebrate the dam’s 50th anniversary. Godzilla will remain on the wall for 2 to 3 months.
I get how the whole “listening to music as a dick-measuring contest for who can listen to the most obscure band” thing can get grating sometimes but I don’t think people realize just how vital that phenomenon is for new up and coming bands to get a foot in the door. it’s understandable to be annoyed by hipsterism but unless you want all music to be industry plants and former child stars you’re just going to have to accept it as part of the social ecosystem.
most of your friends probably won’t go around hyping up your amateurish self-released bandcamp project, but you know who will? the most insufferable hipster jackass you’ll ever meet.
[your best friend playing your music in front of someone else]: yeah haha this is my friend’s band… i know it’s kinda weird and rough around the edges but i’m kinda into it… if you’re not tho i’ll turn it off.
[pretentious music guy you’ve never met before playing your music in front of someone else]: yeah so i found this on bandcamp and it completely blew me away, no one is making music like this today, it’s so raw and experimental and interesting, i can’t believe they only have 3 listeners on spotify, they’re brilliant, frankly if you don’t like this music you should kill yourself,
I think the straight up worst take on gender abolitionism by far is like “in the gender abolitionist utopia nobody would feel the need to transition medically”
Fuck you. That’s completely backwards. True gender abolition can’t be achieved without total bodily autonomy and genuine freedom to have whichever bodies we want.
The suggested “utopia” here is just a cisnormative one where you’re not allowed to accurately name it as such.
being sexually attracted to a people without the romantic attraction (eg. aroallos, bisexual hetero/homo roms, etc) will make so many people think it warrants the worst purity culture ass shit i stg. like no that bisexual homoromantic man is not misogynstic for not romantically liking women. no that aroallo is not just a whore that sleeps around and breaks hearts. you all need to unlearn this shit. being lgbt is not some cutesy clean thing. there are going to be ‘unsavoury’ identities. there is going to be identities that you think are 'too weird’. my advice? get over yourself.
the reason that mariah carrey shows up earlier every year is that worldwide global warming speeds up the dethawing of her prison of ice, devastating the local ecosystem. in this essay i will
guys its november. please have mercy
detector detector not detected!
Detector detector detector detected!
Sage, I think the detectors are having a stroke on ur post idk
not really sure what else to say at this point. these opinions being platformed in the mainstream media is just so catastrophic for the way that people view minorities in this already extremely racist-by-nature country. gasoline on a bonfire.
Neither did white women or white men apparently and yet they never get the misogyny label applied to them wholesale. Seems exclusive to men of color.
how is trump alive?? like hes rlly gone thru his whole life like That …. and no one has ever just fuckin decked him?? gave him the ole one two? knocked his lights out??? incredible
sorry to improve your day without much notice but
NEVERMIND REBLOGGING AGAIN BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE ALL NEED
This is cathartic
People just becoming politically aware are never going to appreciate just how fucking hated this guy was before he was in politics. He was hated for over half a century. Everyone aware of him mocked and derided him as a cheating, greedy corporate asshole and mindless bully and this is by far not the only time anyone clocked his ass but it is probably one of the only times it got caught on video.
Hatred of him was bipartisan all my life and it just goes to show how easily right wingers can be suckered by anyone who kisses their collective asshole on their pet agendas.
Never forget that the reason Trump seems like an over-the-top stupidly villainous antagonist from a 90s movie is because half of them were based on Trump and making fun of him.
The reason The Simpsons and a handful of other comedies ‘predicted’ the Trump presidency was because he kept saying he wanted to run and nobody could think of anything funnier than a President Trump.
Seeing tr*mp just get fucking decked instantly made my night better
A good thread on whether “queer” is a slur and if it should be used or not.
“If I am unashamed of being queer, you do not get to give that word BACK to the fuckwits who made it a slur.”
you do not get to give that word BACK to the fuckwits who made it a slur
EVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT BEFORE YOU HAS TAKEN THE ROCKS AND BOTTLES AND MADE THEM INTO SHIELDS AND WINDCHIMES
Holy motherfucking shit. Don’t fucking come at me about Queer is a slur. I FUCKING KNOW IT IS. It was hurled at me like a fucking spear all through my youth. I know it’s a god damn slur. And it’s mine. You don’t get to take it away from me because you can’t take also away the scars it gave me while I was standing in front of my younger queer siblings in this community.
always, always reblog this one.
If my enemy swings a sword at me and I take that sword away from them, it’s my sword now. And the person telling me I can’t use it because it belongs to my enemy and I have to give it back to them sounds quite a bit like an enemy themselves.
This came around again, but it’s worth sharing and remembering. You have the right to only accept certain words be used to describe you, but so does everyone else.
I have this bookmarked to through at people who DM me about using the word Queer.
The funniest thing about biphobia is that when it’s directed towards men it’s just homophobia and when it’s directed towards women it’s just misogyny. But the woke kind so it’s actually okay
Oh you’re definitely one of the “woke kind” of misogynists.

The worst part of human adulthood is being your own zookeeper
I want to stuff a pumpkin full of raw meat and roll it around my enclosure, but I also know that I’ll have to be the one to clean up afterwards :-(
Take steps to minimize the mess! Put a cheap, disposable plastic tarp down in the area you’ll be rolling it around. And.. Maybe recognize your species-specific needs and cook the meat first
Actually, if we’re going for species-specific enrichment, a pumpkin may not be the best solution. We’re not built for pouncing on prey or batting it around. We’re distinguished by our persistence hunting and tool use
What you should do is put a pack of jerky on top of a roomba, go in another room and count to ten like you’re playing hide and seek - or use this time to find a tool to use - and when you come back, try to catch it by setting a trap or by pinning it down with a stick
When you want a greater challenge, have a friend drive an RC car full of jerky around the park, and chase it until it runs out of battery
