dripping yellow madness

Here’s an edit I did of First of May by Jonathan Coulton a few years ago. Mostly he just swears a lot more.

you would receive the supply once a month

the brand/type will vary so you could

It started with someone listing "places with uncanny energy," like gas stations on a road trip, empty movie theaters, etc.

Then someone reblogged it and said those are called "liminal spaces," defining liminal as in-between, neither one thing nor another.

Tomorrow (July 4th, 2026) is the 10 year anniversary of the-crepes-of-wrath's comment, which:

Predates the 2020 spike in interest by four years

Predates the original backrooms post, and the the creation of r/liminalspaces by three years

Predates the earliest mention that KnowYourMeme attributes to Twitter by two years

I'm pretty sure this is the moment the term "liminal spaces" was attached to this sort of imagery, and it's TEN YEARS OLD TOMORROW!

"A star is what you decide it is ⭐

I did not like this book very much until I did and then I didn't like it again. It was very boring in the middle and too long and had big yucky words. They talked tooooo much and I didn't like most of the characters. I didn't have enough fun. I want to have fun and I should always have fun. I hope the author goes back to author school and maybe listens to the criticisms of the reviewers and learn how to make their book more fun. I would read another book they wrote if it was more fun! I can tell they tried really hard and I think that's so special and cute of them. I love authors they're so silly and cute. ⭐⭐⭐"

My nephew is very allergic to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame. Last year my sister discovered all hot dogs and hamburger buns now contain sesame. Not "may contain", but listed in the ingredients. This year basically every brand of sliced bread also now contains sesame, making it very difficult to find bread items he can eat.

They're just adding it to their products, so they can just list it as an ingredient and not bother with worrying about cross contamination. And they aren't even bothering with telling anyone. Capitalism is going to kill us all.

"Which brings us back to Kellogg’s. Back in 2016, the company found a way around the added burden and expense of complying with the FSMA: they simply began adding trace amounts of peanut flour to their cracker products. Doing so allowed them to list peanuts as an ingredient of the product, freeing them from having to prevent cross-contact.

bath woman: “you let me know if you ……. need anything ;))))))……hope the water is hot enough ;^)…”

Arthur: “my dog Copper used to take baths with me when he was alive :).”

The Rodeo Rule: you only have to do it for the first time once.

The Rohan Rule: if you are at a social function full of new people and you want to be liked, find someone doing important work like setup or food prep and offer to help.

The Tutorial Mode Rule: to navigate an unfamiliar situation where you fear you will mess up an interaction, preface the interaction by mentioning that you've never done this before, and let them know if you have a specific concern or question.

The Rocket Science Rule: most new things you want to try seem very complicated but are simple when taken step by step.

The [X] Will Remember That Rule: if you need to make small talk with the same person on a regular basis, try to save one fact or current event in their life from a given conversation and bring it up next time you talk.

the story behind the song is also very good
