This is not a good book blog. I am terrible at reviews, I just reblog books and quotes mostly cause I'm lazy. If you use the tag 'My Bullshit Opinions' you get to read original posts. Or use the tag "Other Peoples Valid Opinions" for intelligent people I have reblogged and follow them. I use to have these as links but they stopped working and I can't remember how to do it again.

hate how they forced bugs bunny into anti-weed propaganda in the 90s, as if bugs bunny wouldn’t love smoking weed

clayboy2000-deactivated20210427

To be perfectly fair, bugs bunny would also love taking money for starring in anti-weed propaganda and then using said money to buy weed

was talking to a coworker and realised i could not for the life of me remember his name but i was too embarrassed to ask because we've spoken multiple times so mid-conversation i started concocting a plan to nudge the conversation towards the ID photos on our building passes so that i could be like oh my ID photo is awful haha the camera they use to take these has a real talent for making me look as unphotogenic as possible and then he would say oh yes me too haha everyone says that (because they do) and then i would be able to say well let me see yours it can't be as bad as mine! and he would show me his ID because we are coworkers and why wouldn't he and this would allow me to see his building pass which of course would have his name on it and then i would be able to say well yours is perfectly nice it must be me that's the problem! and then we would have a polite chuckle about it and i would have his name without needing to ask for it and he would be none the wiser and all would be well but then before i could execute this fine plan a little voice in my head went "so this is some light yagami bull shit you are about to pull" which was such a violent reality check it shocked me completely out of my embarrassment and i went "hey im so sorry your name has slipped my mind could you remind me" and he did and it was fine.

I feel like by now we've all seen the medieval marginalia of nuns diligently picking phalluses from a tree. These illustrations were drawn by 14th century artist Jeanne de Montbaston who worked alongside her husband Richard. To the best of my knowledge, there is no clear reason for the inclusion of these illustrations, but perhaps there was some contextual evidence that was lost to time.

In any case, I decided to illustrate these industrious ladies in my own style amidst a flurry of medieval inspired phallic references and symbols of virility and fecundity. By my estimation, there are about 130 phalluses in this picture.

Wasn't there recently a post going around from some fiber crafter on here where they were putting their newly dyed skeins of wool up on branches to dry and then were like "hang on... don't these floppy skeins of loosely wound wool look an awful lot like..."

someone's already posted one of those exact marginalia in @systlin 's reblogs, too

The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world.

The phrase "They don't want it perfect, they want it Friday" does wonders for my productivity.

I tell this story all the time but I'll tell it again! When I taught kindergarten full time, we had a working bee one weekend where we did a bunch of gardening/landscaping in the outdoor area. One of the dads put up a bit of fencing, then stood back and had a look, kind of frowning like he wasn't sure. His wife then came along, and the following conversation ensued:

Wife: GETMO? Husband: (after a moment, with a sigh) Yeah, GETMO. Me: GETMO? Wife and husband, in perfect unison: Good Enough To Move On

Absolutely LIFE CHANGING acronym, friends and enemies.

Historically, in many places, the monarchy and institutions in power allowed a small group of elites an education while most of the population remained illiterate. That structure perpetuated the hierarchy because those at the bottom were clueless about their own situation and the world outside of their little cottage. Even if they were dissatisfied there was not much they could do to change that. The ruling class kept "peasants" uneducated because that protected their interest.

Modern literacy is what allowed for things like social mobility, activism, the strive for better policies, better quality of life, better future for all.

Workers can't fight for workers' right if workers don't know how to read and write
