earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend

And the kids are like "but they get into our bug traps" and "we didn't catch him he followed us home"

And their parents are like. Please i do not believe that 6 fucking pixies smuggled themselves into our garage on the underside of your bicycle saddle and then set up shop in the old dolls house. These are living beings they're not toys it's not kind to treat them like this

And the kids are like we are NOT treating them like anything you said we're not allowed to trap them and they always get into our traps so we always run away when they see us and then they follow us and get inside our backpacks and stuff

And the parents are like

Stop lying!!!

And then they set up wildlife cams and not only can pixies apparently do all of that and are very desperate to hang out with these human kids (who have fun life-sized toys and are covered in wonderful things like glitter and are a free source of fresh bugs and pop tart crumbs)

But they can also like. Fully just pick locks and shit.

seattle’s world cup hosting comittee (seperate from fifa itself) decided to designate seattle’s june 26 game the pride match bc it’s pride weekend in seattle. after this decision was already made, egypt and iran happened to draw this match. officials from these countries got super worked up about this because they are both very homophobic societies. no players or anyone on the field will be forced to acknowledge that this is a pride match, it’s just a thing that seattle is doing. iran and egypt officials are trying to get fifa to ban pride flags at the stadium but fortunately fifa has so far refused.

some misconceptions i’ve seen is that this was “pinkwashing” (which is crazy, countries that actually hate gay people that bad would never “pinkwash”) or an intentional troll aimed at the countries involved. neither of these are true bc like i said, the pride match was CHOSEN BEFOREHAND.

it’s just one topping on the SEATTLE DOG!

the cream cheese typically goes on the BUN and in my opinion should be used in moderation!

a seattle dog also has CARMELIZED ONIONS and (usually) JALAPEÑOS please don’t just throw cream cheese on your hot dog!

they are traditionally consumed while SHITFACED or EXPERIENCING SEATTLE SPORTS (derogatory)!

seattle has much more noble claims to culinary fame, such as introducing teriyaki to the mainland united states and creating the dutch baby pancake. i just thought seattle dogs would be funnier to mention.
