Do people actually have a glass of water at their bedside, like is this real? It's not just a movie thing? People do that?

Can I be real guys I don’t think the phrase boys will be boys is salvageable. Stop trying to make it cute it’s not cute it is a phrase that is absolutely rotten to the core at worst and at best it ‘just’ reinforces sexist gender stereotypes seriously stop trying to rehabilitate it it’s cringe.

Liberals love to talk as if members of the US military are an oppressed class.

So many people never learned to live with harmless discomfort at any point in their lives and holy fuck does it show

A lot of people were also never told “no” as children and the consequences of that manifest in similar ways. Learn to be ok with being told “no.” You’re not gonna die if you don’t get your way in every single situation ever.

I swear to god if I get tumblr famous over this stinkin Heman the meme nose reindeer.

HOW IS THIS THE FIRST TIME IVE SEEN THIS

Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say “HEEEYAAAYAYAYAYYYYYYYYYY!”

@karanan

if it's snowing where you are keep that to yourself it should have happened to ME

Controversial opinion, but I think it's good to have stories about how people who have done terrible, horrible things can and should try to become better. Especially in societies/under governments that demonize and dehumanize criminals as a whole. Writing off any group of people as irredeemable is wrong and runs the risk of parroting fascist ideals.

Yep.  It also correlates extremely strongly with an increasing decrease of violent crime.  One of the symptoms of low level constant lead exposure is increased aggression and volatility. 

“Unknown scientist”? That was Clair Cameron Patterson.

Gas companies are still so mad at him he’s “unknown scientist”, know his name

Daily reminder that health and safety standards like these are what politicians mean when they talk about “deregulation.”

Happy Clair Cameron Patterson day!

Oh, hey, it’s almost Clair Cameron Patterson day!

one of the more bleak things to acknowledge is that if you pirate literally all of your music and then set aside a spotify subscription's worth of money each month to spend on a single pay-what-you-want album, it would almost immediately amount to you supporting those musicians more than streaming does

pirating all of your music and then buying a hat or something four times a year still makes you pull significantly ahead of the person who streams thousands of songs every year. it's not really a fair or good system for anyone

What a good post to reblog on bandcamp friday. Remember that any money you spend on albums on bandcamp today goes 100% to the artist.

I saw a lot of people reblogging this with my addition two days ago and now I'm afraid some of them might have thought it was bandcamp friday that day lol. So for anyone with post timestamps turned off: I made that addition on Friday March 7th 2025. Bandcamp fridays always fall on the first friday of the month (when they do them) so the next one should fall on April 4th
