a small blue thing

And before anyone accuses me of being a prude you’re wrong the most fuckable piece of MBTA rolling stock is the type 8. She has the range darling, she will sing and scream in equal measure, she’s bendier than a circus performer to fit through tight spaces, she’s a boston icon and she always comes with a kinki friend

So what if she’s high maintenance it just means she knows what she wants

Thank you so much @shilohta !

Oat milk was discovered much more recently than you may have known. Like many now-familiar technologies, it was found by accident during the Apollo program when NASA learned what a zero-g environment does to goat milk.

It’s like someone went crazy with a label maker and I love it.

STOP REBLOGGING THIS my phone is glitching an astronomical amount and I immediately knew the culprit was one of my tumblr posts gaining traction

DONT STOP ME NOW!

See the whole thing on the Internet Archive! (With plenty of info and a link to the record at the Bodleian Library, where the Kennicott Bible lives now. You can also download a PDF)

a quirk of sexting while british is switching from arse to ass. i would never fuck someone in the arse. its impolite.

Australian, I also do this

i sort of wanna do a linguistics survey to see how this varies in rhotic and non-rhotic areas

Non-rhotic for the Australian accents

y'know, I don't actually think "pick your battles" means "don't argue so much." I think it means that you should set the terms of engagement so that you'll win. The first one discourages people from addressing wrongs. The second one encourages you to defeat them.

Occasionally forget people genuinely think capitalism is thousands of years old

One time I was talking about Robin Hood with some coworkers and one guy was like “he was bad because the people he helped learned to expect handouts” and I wanted to be like… okay can you explain how that flawed capitalist propaganda applies to feudalism

reminder that capitalism was literally invented in the 16th century

That’s an exaggeration. What was invented in the 16th century was mercantilism. Capitalism really dates for the beginning of the nineteenth century, with the rise of industry and cash crops over artisans and merchants. Vulture capitalism, with the notion that companies have no duties other than generating profit, is even younger.

Capitalism is only 200 years old and I have to say, they have not been an impressive 200 years
