I love birdwatchers they’re like “I just saw my ALL TIME FAVORITE BIRD SPECIES! I’ve always dreamed of seeing one in the wild! I am ECSTATIC!” and it’s the most boring looking little brown bird you’ve ever seen.
And I’m watching the video like “whoaaaa what’s it going to be! woodpecker? red-headed woodpecker? eastern whip-poor-will? northern mockingbird? it’s a Bachman’s sparrow? oh, okay. neat.”
I feel like I need to show you a Bachman’s sparrow for this post to truly land.
Oooooh the most bird ever.
omg this is so me my favourite bird is the short-toed treecreeper and.
like. yea…
I’m sorry to admit this and I would never do it in real life because I have an immense respect for wildlife and specifically the delicate nature of birds. That is the most grabbable animal I have ever seen. It looks free for the taking.
imagine being at a funeral and you see one of the personnel pull out their phone with a mild air of urgency and they open tumblr and you just watch them type “it’s a beautiful evening to microwave silverware” hit post and put their phone away like everything is normal
My favourite translator said that when she was an ambassador for Hungary she took all these Japanese politicians on a tour and she was trying to circumtranslate ‘merry go round’ cause she didn’t know the Japanese word for it by calling it a ‘horse tornado for children’ and they had no blessed idea what she was saying and she finally started running in circles going up and down and they go ‘ohhhhh, in Japan we call those ‘merry-go-rounds’“
the tragedy of tumblr is you will inevitably meet people who you should be having a sleepover with. you should be rolling around on their floor and rummaging through their fridge and watching shitty movies with. you should be shopping with should be going out to a cafe with should be wandering through the aquarium with. people who you should be experiencing quotidian joys with… and you cannot! because they live one million miles away
Beautiful. The composition. Colors. The lamp. The fact that the photographer managed to make the moon look GOOD (not all cameras and photographers can achieve that).
The original video, for anyone who hasn’t seen it:
And the relevant album cover:
Sessler was a teenager when “We’re Not Gonna Take It” it was on the charts. Probably had MTV so he saw the video.
No fuckin’ idea how he thought it was in support of “traditional American values.”
Never not reblog. Dee Snider is iconic and queer as fuck for a cishet man.

No one disrespects my man Dee in this house.
Never forget when he sat in front of a congressional hearing about Lewd Music Corrupting the Youth and completely shut that shit down in the most professional manner that no member of that committee expected from a hair metal musician. They thought they’d get easy points off of a dumb metalhead and this man not only knew exactly what the fuck he was talking about, he tore their arguments apart.
DUDE THE VIDEOOO
For those unfamiliar with this ICON
This is why my working definition of queer is “queerness is that which accepts queerness.”
It encompasses a radical welcome and celebration of things that deviate from “the norm” and a fierce willingness to defend them from people who think mere deviance is worthy of vicious and violent bullying.
Dee Snider is the embodiment of “Queer as in fuck you.”
I saw some snippet of a callout post for an autistic trans woman where they list social faux pas she committed, and I think we allistic people should all feel 100x more ashamed of not telling people in the moment how we feel about what they’re doing. I think its extremely evil and cruel to not only lie to an autistic person and blame them for it but also to feel justified shaming them for your behavior. And it’s currently the social norm to do that
Everytime we as allistic people sit and force a smile or sigh and act subtly grumpy or otherwise lie to an autistic person’s face about how we feel about what they did it is in fact Our Fault that we are enduring whatever the autistic person is daring to try and share with us. You can literally say something out loud directly. The literal structure of our social existence will always traumatize autistic people unless you can give a fuck enough to consider it isn’t their fault that you didn’t communicate with them
Even I couldn’t understand this until my wife was in tears because I had internalized the idea that it was her fault that people were uncomfortable in a conversation where no one told her they were uncomfortable and blamed her for it. Allistic people punish autistic people for so many Percieved slights, or even decide together afterward what exactly the slight was and then make their collective judgment behind the autistic persons back. Not only do we get the benefit of communicating nonverbally through obtuse social cues the autistic person can’t parce, we then get to say that we weren’t going behind their back because we all did those social cues they are too disabled to understand Right in front of them. No, what you did was choose to suppress your feelings and then reap the social benefits of being in on the discomfort.
“These right wingers don’t follow the REAL teachings of Christ”
They ignore the parts of the Bible which encourage compassion and charity just as easily as a nice Christian ignores the parts about misogyny and bigotry. Religious documents are just documents.
This isn’t Twitter. This isn’t your average every day site. This is Tumblr. We’re crazy. We’re weird. We don’t fit in. We’re the fangirls, the fujoshis, the Superwholockers, and the Steven Universe Critical bloggers. We forgot what “normal” was. So if you’re expecting a normal website…
This is the tumblr equivalent of those silhouettes of dogs people put out to scare away wildlife
It’s amazing how much baking you can do when you follow all the goddamn directions. Baking is not a category in which you can fuck around unless you have tons of experience.
“Cooking is an art, but baking is a science.”
“i am a god” in the most neutral possible tone
You guys don’t understand, EVERYONE hates this dude. He regularly fucks up and still delivers that ending line with the same tone. 0 aknowledgement that he made it wrong. People want to kill him in the comments regularly. The fact that he did this one right is a fluke and it pisses me off even more
People will be like “well what about SPIRITUAL alchemy??? What about the SPIRITUAL element of alchemical writing??” And then look at you funny when you start talking about Islam in the 9th century.
Making informative posts for a Tumblr audience is kinda like of your job was being interviewed by Philomena Cunk. I would be lying if I said it wasn’t fun.
internet friends are so funny bro. here are some fuckers who know more about me than my mother. their names? well this one’s no eyed joe, that one’s takeout container, that one’s moo, this one’s named after several hit video game characters, that one is soup and so is that other one, here are a couple named after several thousand year old stories. that one’s scammer. that one’s volcano residue and here’s fungus and rodent and there’s podcast character and we can’t forget the birds. this one says he’s not named after a supernatural character but there’s no evidence to support that. here’s vegetables and arson. i love them all very dearly. oh yeah and they’re all queer
