Ironed Orchids

I worked in a supermarket for 7 years and I don't think I can understate just how much cleaning you had to do for it to look clean (it very often where not in the places you aren't supposed to see)

True for food service, retail establishments, gyms, outdoor areas, schools, religious buildings, office buildings, etc. People usually only notice when a space is NOT clean, meanwhile every time a space is clean it’s only because of the diligent work of janitors, maintenance staff, custodians, parks workers, or volunteers.

There’s a catastrophic female loneliness epidemic happening rn but nobody gaf bc women aren’t going out and hurting people about it we just betray and destroy ourselves for nothing

Girl, help, all of my disorders are disordering.

I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished

Wait actually we should do this. Theres a serious blood shortage in the US(and canada iirc) right now

there is! reminder that eligibility is less stupid than it used to be and blood donation is a good thing to do most of the time. especially o-negative people.

The great thing about books is that you can start and stop reading as many as you want as often as you want, and they are always there for you with open pages and new experiences, and it’s an endless mineshaft of joy that is available to you forever

I hate not living near a large body of water. Whenever I stand near a large body of water something deep inside me calms down for a while but I don’t live near enough to one to get that fix every two or three days so I’ve gotta make my maybe once a year trip to a river or ocean stretch out unnaturally long

You r n elf. U r literally an elf. The gulls r calling u to Valinor.

I think I’m too fat to be an elf

You aren't too fat to be an elf, any more than I am too fat to be a mermaid or a fox. The creators inking their worlds to share with others are too narrow in their perceptions and tastes, in many cases, and the rest of the time they just don't think about it which. Frankly, is just as bad. OTOH, I also totally understand if you don't identify with elves in general, since they're more often presented as the hardcore tree lovers. Would 'Selkie' fit you better?

I’m a human being that really wishes that he was by the ocean right now.

once I snorted a fat line of nuance and everything started depending. watch out

The thing is you can have a grassy lawn or even a golf course without it being an ecological disaster, you just have to a: be cool about having the occasional non-grass plant in the mix and b: be willing to live in a climate that supports grass without irrigation.

Golf courses in California are an abomination which is why the sport was in fact invented in Scotland.

I always thought that golf as a sport should be adapted to the local native landscape. I think this will encourage regional pride when local golfers completely trounce visitors at Swamp Golf, Desert Golf, Forest Golf, etc. Rich tourists will be pressured to travel extensively to experience all forms of golf, instead of staying in their backyard country club golf courses. Internet discourse will probably somehow get worse but I think this is a small price to pay.

Alright, so, it seems like Australia is on a level of golf innovation the rest of us can only dream of.

I am Australian and had never heard of either of these??? Now I feel extra unhappy with the golf course near me that's just regular water-hungry grass :/

Coober Pedy is just like that. People stubborn enough to live underground in the desert are stubborn enough to play golf in the desert.

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

Shoutout to people in the notes also mentioning people learning the language, I should've mentioned that really, given that I've been stuck reading German picture books myself while learning German.
