"Whimsy" is truly a wretched term. What maketh thee so carefree?

thy mother

Art thou for fucking real

buzz aldrin and neil armstrong liked to do a thing where they’d tell unfunny jokes at parties about being on the moon and when people were confused they’d go “guess you had to have been there”

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

Hell yeah moon holiday

Tragic that the 20th is a Saturday this year. It would be poetic if it were a Mo(o)nday.

I do not agree with veganism as a moral standard. If it is your personal moral stance, that is fine. If you think humans eating meat is inherently immoral, I don’t want to deal with you, you’re hopeless. Vegan ideology behaves more like a sect of evangelical Christianity than a dietary choice.

Veganism is better for the environment, but claiming that it's a morally superior choice ignores cultural and economic factors that make people eat animal products.

It is not inherently better for the environment. That is the thing. When you begin trying to explain that local, sustainably sourced animal protein is better for the environment than imported plant proteins that are farmed 3,500 miles away using slave labor, they start tuning you out. Down is better for the environment than polyester stuffing, leather is better for the environment than pleather. We should work on making animal agricultural practices more sustainable instead of trying to shame everyone into eating plant products that are also farmed unethically and unsustainably.

I hope july is good and kind to you <3 I hope you get to sit in the sun and feel happy and at peace and I hope that nothing worries you for too long this month 🌼🧡

I sometimes joke about folks in my parents' generation who think Scooby-Doo ran for like one season in the 1960s and are shocked to learn that it has like thirty seasons, but it's become increasingly clear that this is basically how a lot folks of my own generation think of any webcomic they read in high school. Any time I bring up a long-running webcomic it's like, okay, I'm glad this is such a Nostalgic Blast from the Past™ for you, but we are discussing an ongoing piece of serialised media that last updated as recently as this morning. Do try to keep up!

Like, we need to understand that it's completely normal for an ongoing piece of serialised media to run for multiple decades. It's not typical, but it's also not bizarre. Don't let media optimised for binge consumption skew your frame of reference; people never stopped making long-form serialised media. They're doing it right now.

For me the surprise is less how many of them are still running, as it is how few of the authors are still cisgender

Jeph Jacques is probably a lost cause, but I know folks who are still holding out hope for Randy Milholland.

"who's your blorbo?" is singular? in this economy?? I don't know how y'all are doing it, but it costs me 6 blorbos minimum just to get through the fucking day. due to inflation. :(

Bacteria do have souls, but binary fission doesn’t produce new souls 99% of the time, so most single celled organisms share these sprawling souls that just get bigger every time they divide. Over time they compact down into these big mats of soul get compacted into geological layers that gradually accrete to the world soul. Sexual reproduction creates new souls but they’re much shorter lived as a result, and rarely make it into the bedrock, so most of the world spirit is from the Proterozoic.

if "29" is your idea of an older woman you have a flickering pale aura and you will not survive daylight saving time
