Oh. Shit.

OP do you still have the original image. Would you be willing to share it.

oh my god i almost forgot to tell you all about how, while my dad was visiting, i had an infestation of every single kind of bug in my house that hasn't been a problem before or since. like i'm not kidding i evicted so many creeping crawlies that week and couldn't for the life of me stop mosquitos from stealing my blood, but as soon as he left they vanished. and i mean, sure, there's a perfectly rational explanation, because two people make more mess than one and he has a habit of leaving the windows wide open enough to fly a jet engine through day and night, but i can't help but think how symbolically on the nose it was. the ancestral rot at the heart of my family so gothic it's got ants and flies buzzing around its decaying corpse.

hey so update but i haven't been harassed by a single freaky little beast since my dad left even after leaving some crumbs on the floor as an experiment to see if they attracted any ants so i think my dad might just be bugs actually

@entities-of-posts textbook corruption example lol

Seconded

Update; my fluffy 25 pound dickhead of a Maine coon mix Disapproves Strongly of the child locks on the food door. Loudly. Is now attempting to figure out how to work a child lock with his enormous crime paws.

usually titles that are just names of the main people/characters involved are either formatted as "[name] and [name]" (Max and Ruby), "[name] and the [descriptor]" (Pinkie and the Brain)", or "the [descriptor] and the [descriptor]" (The Fox and the Hound). so disney's choice to go with "The Mandalorian and Grogu" (The [descriptor] and [name]) has a strange cadence to me. it's kind of unconventional like The Velvet Underground and Nico. do you understand

You probably thought today was a normal Thursday. Nooooope. Big Papa Huge Time actually.

gotta be a term that isn't the dunning Krueger effect but is a kind of similar idea where the more deep scientists get into their topic and the more exhausted they get, the more likely they are to find stupid ways to describe things

not to tell people what to do but as someone who’s been in fandom since i was like twelve, i promise that the only good fandom experience involves limiting your friend circle to, like, seven people. when you’re in a city, you don’t make friends with every douchebag on the street. stringently vet the people who are allowed to influence you. in an age of people and companies constantly demanding your attention and energy, your happiness will grow best like flowers in a greenhouse in a terrible city; a contained, curated space allows happiness to flourish. keep it small and don’t be sorry to tell people to stay the fuck out of your greenhouse.

Creo que el hecho de que haya gente que no encuentre mutuals que hablen su idioma es una profecía autocumplida ("no hay gente que hable mi idioma acá" → entonces posteo solo en inglés → nunca encuentro gente que hable mi idioma → confirmo la idea inicial). He visto gente postear en francés, italiano, ruso, finés, húngaro (por poner ejemplos) sin buscar activamente posts en esos idiomas. Puede que haya muchos yanquis en Tumblr pero eso no significa que no se puedan crear comunidades en otros idiomas.
