“don’t romanticise your disorder” actually I’m just trying to enjoy being alive
I’m just making the most of an existence I never planned on. this is my life. least I can do is live it!
I say this gently because I was the same a good few years ago: if you tell a disordered person trying to look on the bright side that they should be miserable 24/7 in order to gain basic consideration and respect, or in order to just be seen as real, you have a little bit of work to do when it comes to being an ally to people living with disorders.
first they came for me and i was all like "hang on, aren't you guys supposed to come for other people first" but they pointed out that they had to come for someone first and we can't all be the guy from the poem and i couldn't really argue with that logic tbh
if you want butterflies, you need to live with caterpillars.
i am not being metaphorical, i work in a garden center, stop buying plants 'to bring in the bees and butterflies' and then immediately poisoning every caterpillar that dares to consume a single leaf
you will not get butterflies if you kill all the things that turn into butterflies! what are you doing!
getting a lot of responses to this going 'ok but it would be good as a metaphor though' so I will accept a metaphorical interpretation as long as you ALSO (!) promise to be considerate towards larval forms of insects specifically and biodiversity in general, deal?

Solar doesn't compete with agriculture, and can be beneficial to it.
Just also cover our car parks.
Especially with summers getting hotter and dryer in a lot of places, solar panels in agricultural fields is a really good idea. Sheltering vegetables from the hottest, driest time of the day will help them grow better. Cows and sheep and such seek out shelter from the sun. I think I recall reading that they found higher biodiversity in pastures that had solar panels because of the shelter they provide.
I'd like to see a very hard push for solar covered parking; people can be massive shitheads about any kind of power generation, but nobody objects to covered parking
i call this phenomenon "god hates me"
most lethal face card in all of RE
every horror writer in history wanted what the 19th floor subplot in the Wayside School books had
Also the gentlemen with the black attaché case who offer you the choice between being safe or being free and the dead rats who live in the basement.
I have no idea what Wayside School is
It’s a trilogy of absurdist children’s novels published by Louis Sachar (the author of Holes) about a school that was supposed to be one storey with thirty rooms but is actually thirty storeys with a room on each floor because the builders were holding the plans sideways (and apparently this is how architecture works). Each book consists of a series of thirty loosely interrelated short stories about the students on the thirtieth floor, and there are a bunch of weird anomalous things that become running gags throughout the novels and, actually, now that I think about it, I can definitely see how Night Vale would have been inspired by this
saw some pictures of people in water with birds and couldn't get the idea of Zevran out of my head
Who wants to hear a DIY tiling pro tip that the experts won't tell you
Yes!
Do not drop your phone into the bucket of tile adhesive. This step is actually completely unnecessary and massively complicates the tiling process.
You say this but my uncle is a tiler and he swears by the “drop phone in putty bucket” technique. I think you’re just posting this for clout
Your uncle is caught up in a tradition that he was taught as an apprentice that he never questioned. Modern putty doesn't require phone, the formula has changed.
MY uncle says some customers still demand the phone putty technique because it "doesn't look right otherwise"
Drop an empty phone case in and those customers can't tell the fucking difference because there is no fucking difference.
My mum renovated houses for thirty years, she says “you’re half right, but in some cases - particularly in houses built before 1930 - the phone does add some benefit. Could be a tablet too if you’ve an old one in the garage. And anyone who says it’s got to be a particular model is just being precious about it, whatever the forums say.”
IPhones and tablets where invented in 1898, what did they do before then?
Nothing, tiles were invented in 1899.
there’s a non zero chance some absolute dipshit reenlists because they got promised 4 days off for gta 6 and then gets blown the fuck up for it which would make gta the first video game with a positive impact on the world
people talking about male characters: I loveee this guy he sucks so bad but he's still my favorite #myguy #ilovemoralnuance
people talking about female characters: idk I don't hate her I just feel like we wouldn't get along in person and also she does things I personally wouldn't do so that's a bit off putting.
Friends, romans, people who are nonbinary except at work, lend me your ears,
how it feels to message a friend who's having Problems that you can't do anything to help with.
#i appreciate how genuine and non-judgemental this comic feels #like left one is not upset at right one for caring while being powerless #and right one seems genuinely distraught and not performative
I'm glad the facial expressions are coming across accurately! It can feel so absurd to say gosh I hope the torment maze removes some fire and rusty nails soon, but alas, sometimes that's all one can do.
So thanks to a friend,I checked and several names of Nigerian tribes are trademarked.
Timbuktu, an outdoor clothing brand based in northern England, filed to trademark the word “Yoruba”.
They are not the only one,hoever.
Some examples of it being registered,or attempted to be registered
I think we should talk about it more,as it is cultural appropriation,stealing people’s culture to use as brand names,collections,or other stuff such as one i saw being used as POLO SHIRT brand name.
Apparently my stepdad and I are fucking psychically linked because ?? every single time he makes chili for dinner I get a migraine. Without fail. And it became like a ha ha running joke because it happened so many times but now I’m living 3 hours away from my parents and I just texted my mom and
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME
