So this is what would happen if I could click kudos more than once

I hate to give it to staff but they did snap with the booping thing. This is the "enrichment in my enclosure" thing we keep talking about, I feel like a bear that recieved a block of ice with pumpkins in it

today’s human moment: the brief sense of kinship with the treecutters down the street while we were digging out our front garden, who jumped up screaming during their lunch break when an enormous squirrel burst out of the hedge and stole the bread off one of their sandwiches

the fact that this is completely understandable and rather descriptive makes me rethink what i’ve done with my life

#i understand it perfectly but you couldn’t fucking pay me to read it

but is it m/m/m, f/f/f, f/m/m or f/f/m

Dont be silly, a:aou doesnt have three whole women in it

This post is just multiple punches to the face

Everything Everywhere All at Once.

My cats do this all the time. It's hilarious.

That's it that's the barking cat video

…(laughing softly) Oh yeah?

Look over your shoulders and behold the great abyss that lies yawning in the depths of time beyond your wee little gaps. And past the abyss, to its far side… to the times when fanfic fandom was conducted by mail.

Using paper fanzines.

Mimeographed paper fanzines.

:)

Per @da-manta-ray’s tags:

#fanfiction.net for me

#if anyone has pictures of paper fanzines would love to see!

…Nothing’s easier. :)

First of all, have a look at these two links… (Adding a cut here, because some of the art down the post is large.)

someday, in the distant future, humans will once again be capable of hearing the phrase “what is love” without also feeling the primal urge to  respond with “baby don’t hurt me”

So at that point, people will say “baby don’t hurt me”…no more?

I tried to scroll past I really did

beautiful set up, perfect follow-through. great teamwork everyone

13 years ago today, Pepsi’s Super Bowl commercial starring Beyoncé, BritneySpears, Pink & Enrique Iglesias was premiered. #PepsiGladiators

Damn these were simpler times

so lemme break this down

-lord caesar iglesias, who does not sing in this musical commercial, has captured britney spears, pink, and beyonce to battle it out gladiator style -our trio decides instead of fighting, they will instead rock so hard that the audience forgets about their battle to the death -their musical prowess is so damn powerful they rock the foundation of the earth and overthrow caesar iglesias along with his stash of ancient roman pepsi -beyonce, britney spears, and pink drink pepsi while the audience cheers -enrique iglesias is eaten by a lion

Kendall Jenner could never >_>

y’all are overlooking the most important part of this ad. all of this centers around Queen’s “We Will Rock You”, with Brian May and Roger Taylor even making a split second cameo (Roger’s even playing a little drum!!)

truly the collab of the century

The thing with statistics - via

Numbers don’t lie but people can sure as fuck pick and choose the numbers they give you and phrase things to make them sound like they mean things they don’t

learn fucking stats or at least how they can hurt

As a wise man once said: There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.

I need an audio post to test my theme building, so idk have whatever this is

the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

People took "don't give unsolicited advise, especially medically" [meaning mostly to people you aren't close to, and to a reasonable degree the people you are] and "Don't dump all your trauma on someone without giving them warning, a choice and making sure they have support" and really decided that these things meant you can't discuss personal shit with friends at all or ever go to each other for help.

"They aren't your therapist" doesn't mean that you can't talk to friends about deeply personal shit, especially when you're upset. It means don't act entitled to them filling that role unwillingly, one sided, or at a bad time.

IDK how to explain that friends and community are there to help you.

You should be able to tell your friend when you think they might be depressed, or self-sabotaging or some shit. You should be allowed to talk about it if one of you is being hurt. You are allowed to voice concerns. We've -culturally- gone off the deep end of "friends" just meaning an acquaintance you spend time with a lot, and not someone who's part of your support structure or there for you to know really well.

Y'all are out here with nothing but fair-weather friends, lovers or BUST and really think that's the only way you're allowed to have relationships and are out here living that life and wondering why you feel empty, lonely and depressed.

What you shouldn't do is rely solely on your lover/partner -or any one friend- for every single bit of aid or support or emotional intimacy like it's their job, and just go without if you're single.

If you aren't comfortable with someone enough to really get to know each other, that's not a friend! [allowances made for the process and stages of it] That's someone you found that's socially convenient to be around! You're just familiar with their face, voice and mannerisms in a way that's tricking you into feeling like you have a real connection. You could be friends but you're just standing around acting friendly superficially instead! You have to actually talk about shit that matters, you have to get to know people and let them know you, or guess what? You don't know each other!

Fair-weather friends can be an important part of your social structure too, but it is NOT the only way you're ALLOWED to have friendships!

Bring back real friendship 2023.

i wish there was a job you could get at art museums that was titled something like 'designated art imp' where your job is to trundle up jesterlike behind anyone looking at a piece and going 'this isn't art, this is bullshit' and be like 'hmmmmm! and yet it evokes such anger in you, my friend'. i would love to have this job.

If anyone asks what WTNV is like just show them this.

Thats it.

Thats the show.

If you don’t know if you want to get into Welcome To Night Vale, listen to this clip, it does a perfect job of summing up the entire experience.

this is quite legitimately one of my favorite things that’s happened in the entire show.

If you haven’t listened to Night Vale yet, take 50 seconds to consider it. Please.

Cecil, in a serious and grave tone: “Old Woman Josie has not called, but, intern Dana said that Josie updated her Facebook page with an Instagram of some rune stones. Dana has been furiously translating these symbols and her best guess is that they say ‘They come in twos. You and come in twos. You and You. Kill your double.’ Cecil, continuing in a tone most people use to talk about cute cats: “There’s also a link to this amazing cat that keeps jumping in and out of boxes! And oh my god that is the cutest thing I have ever seen! Dana! You have got to post that on my wall. Oh my god, he loves those boxes so much!”
