Per Aspera Ad Inferi

a deer is like a forest horse if you think about it

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

where i am, a box fan and the filters run about $20 each, so if $100 is too much of a stretch at the moment, get the fan and one filter. tape the filter to the intake side of the fan, all the way around. this is also good if your space is small and a 20" cube won't fit.

c-ptsd is going through life feeling "normal" and then suddenly realizing on a random thursday that you haven't felt like a real person in weeks and time seems to be moving at an unusual rate.

Ah, the "greater Israel" conspiracy. Otherwise known as the paranoid conviction that the Jews are itching to take over the very places many Jews had to flee to Israel from due to the level of severe, violent antisemitism present there.

Op is that what you meant? If so I'm sorry for misunderstanding you.

Yeah last I checked people thought Israel wanted, like, all of Egypt and Syria. Like. They think Israel wants to be a Modern Empire (often while ignoring Russia or China ACTUALLY going modern empire...)

I have unfortunately come across people at my college who believe that the United States is part of the vision for "Greater Israel" 🙃

it's good that I will never be a dog breeder, bc I would make the elephant dog. long borzoi snout, chunky pitbull body, ears of a papillon

A three-circle venn-diagram where the circles are "sex workers", "the furry community", and "people working in morgues". I don't know what the overlap parts are.

Fourth circle needed: IT workers

You say that with such confidence that I am compelled to trust your vision. Personally I have no idea where this is going.

i'd say the overlap between "sex workers" and "people who work in morgues" is probably "seeing naked strangers a lot"

"professional handling of bodies of strangers"?

Okay I’ve gone through many of the reblogs and “prefer when clients don’t talk to them” is peak

I think the middle overlap could also be 'the world would collapse if they stopped doing their jobs'

oh man the painting on this drawing is insa- fuck do you mean #minecraft build

This is the reason I will never get tired of this game. It’s such a canvas for creativity, you can see or discover something new about it almost every day. Like look at these! These are astoundingly beautiful!

yeah i just love it when a character is in an escapable torment nexus for a huge portion of their life and it defines every aspect of their existence forever. also whats cptsd

I know we’re all like lawless nonconformists but you really can’t be texting and driving. that’s one of the ones you’ve gotta listen to for real

Not even at stoplights!!! I know it’s so so tempting to just glance at your phone when you’re stopped, but there’s actually something called “distraction hangover” where even once you put your phone down, your brain is still processing the interaction and isn’t fully paying attention to the road for up to 30 seconds afterwards. So it’s still really dangerous even if you’re stopped when you look at your phone. If you need to check something on your phone, pull over.

this especially applies to people with adhd. you know that symptom you may have heard of called “difficulty transitioning between tasks”? you don’t want piloting a ton or two of potential death to be the task you can’t mentally switch back to.
