Trains are autism, rivers are ADHD. Ox-bow lakes are remnants of past obsessions you poured your soul into once but no longer make up a part of your life at all.
to be honest I think working on a sewing machine strains my eyes as much as being on a computer does. However, I am incentivized to remain alert and focused by keeping my fingers within stabbing distance of a needle making 60 stitches per minutes.
Me: oh boy I can’t wait to have a cool jacket
The hungry and voracious sewing machine: CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CHUNK-A CH
@luxlightly I wanna meet your junki deathmetal ultrafuck, they sound capable of sewing me a tool pouch.
It’s a Juki TL-2000Qi semi-industrial sewing machine and it can probably sew through solid steel.
It does exactly two things, a forward straight stitch and a backward straight stitch, and you’ll be GODDAMN grateful it even lets you do that. You want to do zig zags? Get fucked.
Threading it takes about 10 steps and feels like trying to defuse a bomb. It’s got a side fed bobbin case that takes an additional 3 or 4 steps to thread. If it’s not sharp or strong enough, it’ll snap through a heavy duty needle and without even slowing down, no matter stopping, sending the tip flying through the air at speeds capable of sending a piece of straw through a telephone pole. It’s compatible with exactly 0 of any other parts from any other brand machine except sometimes needles and it has a palpable air of bloodlust surrounding it.
But it’ll sew through 4 layers of denim like a hot knife through butter.
Oh come on lady, you can’t deny a man his gaycation
You must surrender yourself mind, body and soul to the gaycation or be destroyed

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
how could you leave out the best part—the aquarium bit
“become a fish” (gay)
men will jump through an entire circus’ worth of hoops rather than admitting they’re bi
The level of mental hoops that guy had to jump through to say to his wife, “No, honey! Of course I wouldn’t be cheating on you! Sex during gaycations doesn’t count!”
Holy fucking shit! It gets trippier!
I mean, I feel horrible for the OP and her SIL…but “surrender to the gaycation” made me laugh way more than I should have.
I wonder when incarceration replaced military service as the fundamental shared experience of the American working class
fairly skeptical about either of these really being a fundamental shared experience, but if they were, the numbers crossed over in the mid-late ‘90s from eyeballing these graphs (military, incarceration), which sounds reasonable
still just a single digit percentage of the population in either case
apparently 11% of Americans served in WWII, and that was concentrated in particular demographics (young men from rural areas), making it a fairly common shared experience, although now that I think about it incarceration has the advantage that even if there are only two million people in prison at any given time it’s an experience that people are going to pass in and out of.
the internet suggests that 5% of Americans will spend time in prison, or 9% of men, or 25-33% (!) of black men.
This feels like a good time to say that we do not know for sure if Luigi Mangione actually did it. He’s a suspect and person of interest, but that’s all he is at this point. (I, personally, am kind of skeptical).
Keeping that in mind, remember that this guy is potentially completely uninvolved, but is now having every single aspect of his life scrutinized and torn apart by the entire country. People are looking at his medical history, his social media, his education, even his goodreads. I understand that we want to know more about this, but we could be doing more harm than good to this individual, regardless of whether or not he did it.
Just please make sure not to use language that refers to him factually as the killer, when we don’t know for sure yet. And please keep in mind that this is a human being, and scrutinizing every aspect of his life like the way people have been doing could be doing harm.
Also, stop with the liberal purity talk. If you’re a person that’s going to write him off (if he did do it) because of his expressed beliefs, consider the idea that maybe that actually helps nothing and no one. No one human being is perfect, and this is a guy that shot a man in the open. Obviously, he’s not going to be your ideal liberal leftist with all the “correct opinions”. This man may have saved actual lives by doing what he did, and could have ruined his life in doing it.
The media is going to try to use this to drive us apart, after we were so united for the first time ever. Do not fall for it. Do not be a tool. We’re done with the pearl-clutching.

oh so you’re telling me the guy had a 3 page handwritten explanation of his motives and mindset and a gun and silencer that matches the description despite it being a week since the guy was shot? hmmmm interesting
No literally these were my thoughts! They’re just releasing everything about him and literally ruining him before he’s been proven guilty
dont get me wrong this is #mood but just try eating a piece of bread with salt. please, seriously. ok? at least a tiny bit. salt helps with nausea, bread calms the stomach acid. if you really can’t face eating anything, just lick some salt like a damn elk, then wait and see if you can manage the bread. make some broth if you’re into that kind of thing. no spices, yes salt. if you’re feeling too weak and shaky to do much, just have a cup of tea with sugar (energy) and lemon (again, good against nausea). nibble on the lemon first, it will feel good, but don’t overdo - citric acid on an empty stomach is a majorly bad idea. take care of yourself, you’re the only you we’ve got
Give that character a big nose. Give that character freckles. Give that character moles. Give them dimples give them acne give them big eyebrows give them a tooth gap give them eyebags please its good for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its enrichment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“your friends are an echo chamber” heyyyyy hey. hey. lock your phone right now and put it down. and walk until you get to the shore and then enter the body of water you encounter and stay in it till youre clean and whole with the world again
all these fucking fools on my dashboard talk about how they love bats but only show pictures of fruit bats fuck you start posting pictures of all bats i can’t stand this fucking bat erasure
look at him he’s not your conventionally attractive bat but he deserves just as much love
Yo, you want some adorable non-fruit bats? Gotcha covered, pals!
Long Eared Bat, huge ears and an adorable face!
Mexican Free Tailed Bat, named for the fact that their uropatagium (back leg membrane) doesn’t cover their tail, leaving them with a teeny mouse-like tail.
Gould’s Wattled Bat, they got some pearly white sharp teeth, but they tell great jokes and always laugh at yours too.
“HAHAHAHAHA!”
Hoary Bat, AKA the bat that looks like they’re covered in powdered sugar.
Bulldog Bat, a bulldog… with wings <3
Vampire Bat, often seen as creepy, but they’re actually really cute. Also fun fact, vampire bats live in a social structure where able-bodied bats go out and feed and then share part of their meal with old/weak/sick members who cannot forage themselves. No survival of the fittest here, every bat helps every bat out <3
And lastly, the Painted Bat, and yes, those are its actual colors. Can’t get any more Halloween than that <3
I’d like to add one of my favorite bats, the Hammer-headed bat. He’s such a funky little guy
This is the Honduran White Bat! He sleeps under big jungle leaves and his nose looks like a pasta.
Ignoring the real possibility he intentionally let himself be caught from the little we know so far Luigi Mangione’s case is a fascinating combination of astonishing brilliance and confusing stupidity. This young man plans and executes his assassination and escape with such a meticulous care and calmness that it’s suspected that he’s a professional hitman. He comes up with Riddler-sque moves like writing his manifesto poetically on the bullets and leaving his backpack behind full of Monopoly money. He carefully wears a mask to avoid being identified but removes it because a woman who was checking him into the hostel was flirting with him and wanted to see his smile. He still manages to escape the most surveilled city in the country in the midst of ongoing national manhunt only to get caught in the middle of bumfuck nowhere Pennsylvania while eating at the McDonalds. Because for some reason he had the same clothes and mask as in New York and was carrying the same gun and suppressor. And when the cops detained him he showed them the same fake id he used in New York. And oh yeah he’s a frat bro gym rat who has a masters degree in computer science from Penn but reads stupid self-help books about being on the grind and is ‘anti-woke’ while being bisexual suffering from anxiety and wanting to end oppressive capitalism. Not even god himself could invent a person like this
Meet the Mona Lisa of the Prado, the earliest known copy of Da Vinci’s best portrait. Similarity in the undersketch of the painting indicates that this was very likely painted concurrently with the original Mona Lisa, by a student of Da Vinci.
There is much controversy in the art world over the question of whether or not to clean the fragile Mona Lisa, but her sister has been restored and some fairly odd later alterations removed to show the original vibrant colors and lighting. Some details, such as the sheerness of her shawl and the pattern on the neckline of her dress, have become utterly obscured in the original, but in the restored copy they’re perfectly clear.
It blows my mind a little bit to look at these two sisters side-by-side and imagine how much vivid detail could be hiding in the Mona Lisa under 500 years of rotten varnish.
THE COPY HAS EYEBROWS
Your response to a beautiful piece of artwork done by Leonardo Da Vinci himself is “SHES GOT EYEBROWS”. Alright. All intelligent life has been lost.
Yo Snooty McSnotwhine, the Mona Lisa’s vanished eyebrows have been the subject of debate and analysis in the art expert community for hundreds of years, long before your parents squirted water at each other from across the clown car and then honked their bicycle horns to indicate they really wanted to make a smug, insufferable little clown baby together.

the older you get, the funnier using stupid internet slang becomes. the other day someone on discord told me their mom was younger than me and I said “skill issue”. I can’t wait to still be doing this shit in the nursing home
if you suddenly don’t support the shooter bc he’s right wing I’m shaking you like a rag doll I’m throwing you into mount doom please look me in the eyes and remember that your biggest battle is not left vs right it is up versus down. they want you divided. keep your eyes on the prize. you want to eat the rich? so do the millions living in rural america. so do your farmers, your electricians, your welders, your fishermen. the men and women’s bodies who are exploited for labor. the class disparity the fear mongering the human rights violations stems from ABOVE!! they want you to despise each other to alienate each other to think we are not both human beings suffering for their profit. do not cover your eyes with their wool

Prosecutors argued that Mangione was carrying about $10,000 in cash and that his bag was a Faraday bag that blocks cellphone signals—all proof that he was a sophisticated criminal who should be held without bail.
“‘I’d like to correct two things,’” Mangione said after the prosecutor finished speaking, according to CNN’s Danny Freeman, “‘I don’t know where any of that money came from—I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication.’”
