My favorite is the fidget spinner space station. It almost feels like someone designed it first and then fidget spinners came out and now everyone laughs at it… instead of the other way around.
It’s Eric! He was one of my best friends in highschool!
He also does series of space cats, and one of the ones floating upside down and looking at you is based on my cat Ginger :D
The kitty herself, Ginger!
He’s a super cool dude and seeing his art on tumblr is nuts!
There’s an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can’t miss it, that says “Beware!!! Spikes!!!”
The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it’s their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they’re walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn’t be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.
We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still… for a while there it looked like it might have worked…
Nobody has ever been capable of writing a scathingly harsh and well formulated satire about the perils of modern capitalism, that doesn’t just get immediately one-upped by some random food service worker talking about their actual week.
My sister has a friend who is going to the club tonight to “meet up” with someone. The friend wants my sister to go with her for emotional support. My sister doesn’t want to be a third wheel, so she asked me to come. Knowing damn well that I spent a bit of last time making out with Carl and probably will again the next time I go.
Just got back from the goodwill and I still can't believe what I found:

Behold! An honest to goodness physical copy of My Immortal!
I didn't get a picture, but I opened it up and, yep, exactly what it says on the tin. I had no idea there were physical versions in print. I didn't end up getting it (I unfortunately currently have far more books than bookshelf space), but I absolutely will be thinking about it forever.
Tausig’s crossword is a so-called Schrödinger puzzle, named for the physicist’s hypothetical cat that is at once both alive and dead. In a Schrödinger puzzle, select squares have more than one correct letter answer: They exist in two states at once. “Black Halloween animal,” for example, could be both BAT or CAT, yielding two different but perfectly correct puzzles. Only 10 such puzzles have now been published in Times history.
It’s the theme of Tausig’s puzzle, though, that makes it special. Four entries in Thursday’s crossword can include either an “F” or an “M.” Both are correct; neither is wrong. For example, “Part of a house” can be either ROOF or ROOM. The long “revealer” answer, tying those select entries together and spanning 11 squares smack-dab in the middle of the puzzle, is GENDER FLUID.
This puzzle, with “M”s and “F”s that aren’t fixed, is a masterful blend of subject and structure. “It potentially really evokes what gender fluidity is, which is not moving back and forth between two poles, but actually not being committed to either pole, and potentially existing in many states at different times,” Tausig said.
This is … really cool.
i never really thought of crossword puzzles as an art form, but like… this is art.
i love when fic writers who have clearly never tried any kind of alcohol in their lives try to write someone drinking bc they’re always like
“he ordered a tall glass of hard liquor. after three large glasses he was feeling tipsy” like babygirl i can’t be sure but i think u just sent this man to the hospital
“the amber liquid tasted sweet” bestie i can assure you it did not
Why does “falling in love” have pretty much exclusively romantic connotations it’s such a good phrase. I’ve fallen in love with every single one of my friends
This was such a smart post to make because every day I get to see people declaring their love for their friends in the tags. Such a simple but sweet “restoring faith in humanity” kind of thing. We’re all just little creatures who love our buddies <3
Alright so this post has gotten over 5,000 notes in a month and I think that means the consensus is that everyone loves their friends and you should tell them
Truly distressing high street find. @shiftythrifting Not technically from a thrift store but a costume shop/ rental house. But. You kinda have to see this.
Creepy hairy human face mask! It must just be plastic on the back, right? Right?
Nope. animal skin.
100% guaranteed curse if you put this thing on i will not be doing that though.
