it’s only a grave if we stop digging

they shouldve made it impossible to post new videos to tiktok after this one was made and also they shouldve made it so every other video was just this video

I love getting unaccompanied minors (kids flying alone) who so clearly just. Don't want to be here lol. Sometimes I get to know a little of their story, like their parents are divorced, or a family member died and they're heading to the funeral, but usually they just don't want to talk about it and that's fine. But I always treat the flight like it's a challenge to make them smile. I offer them snacks and soda but that's never enough, that's whatever, they could get those from an airport vending machine. Chump change. So then I tell the worst jokes. Just the most embarrassing, kindergarten teacher, annoying dad jokes you can think of. And those always get a groan, or a "Seriously??" And that's my in! Now I can say "Why, what's your idea of a good joke? No, come on hotshot, make your best joke, let's see it." And they hem and they haw but of course they eventually tell me their very best joke because kids are little competitive comedy goldmines. And it's always super funny, so I laugh, and that's where they slip up. Because you know what you almost always do when your joke successfully makes someone laugh? You smile. And I'm like. Gotcha. Rookie move. Now you're going to end up having a good time in spite of yourself. I win.

Did this with an 11yo u.m. today and he said "What did the ghost say to the other ghost?" And I said "What?" "Nothing. Ghosts aren't real."

i have seen this post on my dash 7 times now and every time i think more loudly, 'this is what Batman villain The Penguin's dialogue sounds like when they let him be fun to watch.'

we are NOT bringing 4chan incel terminology to this site, take that "foid" out of your post and go wash your blog out with soap

the memeification of fascism is a proven method of perpetuating and instilling it in other people. Layers of irony will not protect you once you adopt racist, sexist, ableist, transphobic terminology into your lexicon. you'll be acknowledging and nursing the mindsets and connotations borne of those words.

today i took the worst photo of a loon one can possibly take while remaining identifiably a loon

the secret truth is that men and women are literally exactly the same

you put a dog on a diet and he'll start begging for plain ass vinegar like he's christ on the cross

Post about increasingly niche stuff that nobody follows you for and barely has a tumblr presence NOW

That indie game no one else has played. That show from the 1980s that isn't big in the pop culture osmosis. Your deep dive into Tudor history. A liveblog of your experience learning C++. Your welding skills. Post all of it. This is your house

If any part of your plan involves the words “nobody could be that stupid”, please be prepared to be proven wrong at any minute at a moment’s notice. Pay in mind that the person determined to prove you wrong may already be aware of this assumption, and is already approaching your current location at an alarming speed.

if users regularly fuck up using a tool you made, and your answer is “you’re holding it wrong”, the next question you should ask is “why did i make this tool so it’s easy to hold it wrong?”

That’s the problem with making animal proof trash cans for parks. The animals tend to be far more motivated to open the difficult mechanism than the tourists do.

like i really don't think that there's any identity that will protect you from misogyny forever and ever. like. fuck. it's misogyny (and transmisogyny) when cishet football men are called "girls" as an insult. it's misogyny when people use "girlies" as a shorthand for "dumb person i don't like." it's misogyny when a man posts a photo of his embroidery project on instagram and all the comments are hateful. it's misogyny that distance swimming isn't a major sport. it's misogyny that women make less than men across all ethnic groups. it's misogyny that people call biology "female dominated" when 47% of biology professors are women. it's misogyny that a women's L size t shirt is smaller than a men's L size t shirt.

if a trans man gets called a "bitch" that's misogynist because "bitch" is a misogynist slur. if a cis man gets called a "bitch" that's misogynist because "bitch" is a misogynist slur. it's misogyny in both circumstances. it doesn't mean that either of them isn't a man.

Referring to the distinction between those who are and aren’t affected by transmisogyny as “arbitrarily constructed gender categories” tells me exactly which of the two you fall into lmao
