This is what bastardization of childhood looks like, not a mediocre all-female ghostbusters movie. 

1. first of all, how dare you. i would never, N E V E R, put forth a cow poem with inconsistent syllabic structure. these may not be my finest work, but the iambic dimeter is IMPECCABLE. check my scansion again and come back to me. I guess “know what do yet” is not ideal, but it falls within the constraints of the form. i’m genuinely appalled by this. i have SEEN inconsistent scansion in this meme, i do NOT approve of it and i have NOT done it. how dare you. HOW DAR EYOU!!!

Sick brain says: “… does fire have weight?”

Husband is chemist and he says the gases that react to make the fire have weight, but the fire itself is energy and therefore does not have weight as we measure it.

cold medicated brain thanks mister indigo for his service

this is why im so fucking pissed white colonial fucks and white vegans get so enraged at indigenous people for using hides/leather and animal bones as if that shit breaks or rips like cheap polyester does

I have a wool coat from the 50s and it is warm, comfortable. stylish. I hate polyester clothing. Wool, leather and fur coats can (and should) be purchased secondhand. They last forever and you’re not giving directly to those industries

this is the physical manifestation of a risky text

I remember watching this for the first time, I had to pause the video out of the sheer INTENSITY of that scene and to pace around the house because a scene has never made me feel so anxious before in my life

holy cow

Literally why would you ever go for Bernie when Elizabeth Warren is RIGHT there

america if yall start infighting about this again and it results in trump winning bc yall vote blank bc yr fav didnt win ill 100% never feel sorry for yall ever again and you will be dead to me this is way too important to do the infighting shit the left is known for

Important information! Insurance coverage decisions are made by medically ignorant bean-counters. Until we can dismantle the whole shitty system, know how to scare them into submission.

This is like that procedure Mr. Incredible told that old lady

Honestly it’s pretty weird being a poc in academia. During my undergrad I didn’t feel it as much because I was doing an ethnic studies program as well and everyone was latinx so now that I’m focusing on just anthropology in my grad program I’m really noticing the difference.

I really miss being around latinx academics. All the professors were latinx too and there’s only one latinx professor in the anthro department. Being able to talk to other students with the same cultural background as me is really understated. I miss the way the people in the ethnic studies would organize in order to raise funds for migrant youth or central american organizations. You don’t see a lot of that in this anthropology program. As much as they talk about participant observation, there is such a disconnect.

I’m a simple man. I see a cowboy hat, I say “I wanna be a cowboy, Babey,”

everyone who reads this post will get some big spicy joy within 24 large minutes (hours)

So I know this is likely a coincidence…but I reblogged this and just now discovered I’ve been given a $150 amazon gift card as a bonus at work. So thank you, fish!

If it worked for them I hope it works for everyone else

Some big spicy joy pls

SOME BIG SPICY JOY PLEASE

Pleass

GIMME SOME BIG SPICY JOY!

every time i see a sitcom with white families and the teenager is just like ‘see you later mom im staying at a friends house tonight!’ and they walk out i just. if i wanted to stay over at a friend’s house i had to ask 17 months in advance after a 4-generation background check of my friend’s family, on a full moon during mercury retrograde preferably during the year of the dog after making a blood sacrifice and even then my odds were like 50/50

concept: a death god that is actually surprisingly supportive and on the side of the good guys, supporting actions and promoting policies that will lead to the kingdom growing and thriving instead of being destroyed, because the more the kingdom grows, the more people there are, and the more people there are the more people will eventually  die, and when you’re an immortal god of death, you know there’s no need to rush. you’ll get them all in the end

i like how the responses on this post are cleanly split between “hey this is a great story idea i love it” and “this is absolutely terrifying”

Y'all ever just suddenly have the overwhelming urge to swim??? Like not actively but you just wanna,,, be in the water and have some Peace

Yes it’s called the mammalian diving response and it’s also why doing face masks and taking a shower is soothing. Our amphibian ancestors used this mechanism to slow down the heartbeat and lower body temperature so as not to waste calories while swimming (which is very calorie intensive). It makes you feel safe because predators are less likely to get you in water than on land. The fish brain is alive and well in all of us.

My amphibian ancestors gave me the instinct to dissociate in the shower for hours on end
