my house is scary at night
Interpreted this initially not as shelves, but as your cat having erected defensive fortifications
Belphagor is setting up a kitty paint ball arena in order to contribute to the rent.
if we can set aside attachment discourse for a moment (please) i think the jedi marriage prohibition makes sense in a “please don’t enter a complex legal, financial, social, and in some cases religious contract, the specifics of which vary wildly depending on planet and culture” way. the single jedi with a law degree does not have time to draft everyone’s prenups to prevent the whole order from getting sued
#we could create so many interesting new problems if we ignore romance and make it about contracts generally#jedi prohibition on getting a loan. jedi prohibition on signing a waiver before bungee jumping. etc
"Qui-Gon didn't try to buy Anakin or the engine because there wasn't anyone in town who offered a credit exchange service" wrong. Qui-Gon gambled for Anakin under the table because after dealing with the Cyrkon Delinquency of 24850, Master Olobi, Esq, has personally promised to hang by the the toes from the highest tower of the Temple for one week any Jedi who generates any trackable legal transaction or obligation between the Order and the Hutts.
Not all dogs have jobs and I think they should get to wear little vests too
no offense to the english but i just found out england has only ever won the world cup once.. wtf do you mean “it’s coming home” she doesn’t even know you omg
"It's Coming Home" isn't about the World Cup.
It was the tag line from Euro 96 which was the first International Football Tournament hosted in the UK since the 1966 World Cup 30 years earlier. And was only the second international tournament ever held in the UK.
England is "the home of football" because Association Football was invented and codified in England.
So the initial coining of the term wasn't about wining anything, it was simply about hosting an international tournament in the country where the sport began.
In the run up to Euro 96 two comedians wrote a song called Three Lions which took the "football's coming home" tag line and used it to make fun of the fact that, despite being the place where it was invented, England's actually a bit shit at football.
The song Three Lions is also about how England fans have pathologically optimistic expectations of the abilities of the national team.
And because all Brits are sarcastic as fuck and love anything that takes the piss this song was immediately adopted as the unofficial England team anthem because it serves two uses: firstly, in the event of success it's funny to sing about failure and second in the event of failure well you're just singing about what happened.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
Hell yeah moon holiday
Ooh coming up we should celebrate
PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)
MOON DAY MOON DAY MOON DAY
moon day is 20th July!!!
Scheduling this a day earlier to remind you all and myself about the Moon Day tomorow!
I scheduled this in 2025 to give you all a week to make Moon Day Monday preparations! I think I will order a little rocket cake or bake some moon phase cookies!
It's coming, cousins. ...This could be as big as March 15th if we made it that way...
and while we’re at it, fuck this idea that ONE ACCOUNT has to belong uniquely to ONE PERSON. This is the same thing these silicon valley fucks want; their vision of the future where everyone has a unique biometric ID code implanted in their body is the ultimate extension of Netflix’s “no password sharing” policy. You want to use your friend’s car? Sorry, you can’t, you need to be an authorized user. Your mother wants to let you look something up on her OED account? Too bad! That’s only for her! The concept of perfect market efficiency gives them greedy little money bag eyes.
If I pay money to have a newspaper sent to my house, they don’t charge me extra when I show it to my dad. This password sharing thing isn’t just a Netflix problem; don’t be surprised if it shows up elsewhere in other forms. Stamp this idea out now or we’ll be stuck with it.
This is by far the most popular post I have and I have to say: good, I’m right. Password sharing and ID verification are going to kill the internet. not oooh in 50 years. in like 5 more.
one of the best ways i’ve found to combat that inherent depressive pessimism without veering into toxic positivity territory is simply the phrase “i’m open to the possibility”
this particularly works with anything negative i’ve forecasted. “i woke up feeling like shit today, so my day is gonna suck” isn’t a particularly helpful thought, but “it’s a great day to be alive!!!!!” feels hollow and insincere when i have a pounding headache & am running on three hours of sleep
instead i’ll tell myself, “i really don’t feel good right now, but i’m open to the possibility that coffee and breakfast might perk me up a bit.” or “i’m in a lot of pain today, but i’m open to the possibility that my workday might still have fun parts despite that”
sometimes, when your impulse is to slam the door on anything good, but you’re not exactly up to going out & hunting it down yourself, leaving the door open just a crack makes all the difference
This helped me today hope it helps someone else too
my favorite thing about louis is he's a business major in a world of theater kids. everyone's playing psychological games with each other through theater and rock music and the fractured art of storytelling and he's like "but what are the margins on my vampire hotel"
It’s so fucking bananas that the last straw for Lestat in that meeting was finding out that Louis was getting 45% of merch profits on his tour. What kind of joker ass motherfucker becomes an investor in their ex’s crash out??? Louis Du Pointe Du Lac no one ever did it like you
watching the thing rn

Hey. Heyhey. Do me a favor real quick.
If you don't already know you have issues doing so, squat down real quick. Bend your knees all the way and touch the floor. Just make sure you can do it. Okay? For me? And then stand up all the way and make sure you can balance on one foot.
Like. You don't need to blow it into some huge thing. Just. Make sure all your bits and peices still work the way you think they do.
Can you turn your head to look behind you without twisting your shoulders? What about standing on your toes? If you sit down on the floor can you get back up without using your hands?
If there was ever a tumblr post worth sending to your mom, it's this one.
Just saying, bodies are a use it or lose it kinda thing.
okay so every time I see this post crop back up in queues and notifications I end up thinking about it. Because I made the post and even I'm still doing the thing where I read the post about maintaining range of motion in my delicate meatsuit and I nod and hmm and think yeah that's a good idea and then dont move from where I'm curled up shrimp style staring at the nightmare rectangle.
So like. Thinking real hard about moving doesn't count as moving. Major bummer. Anyways. Joints.
If your answer to any of those was "no", I cannot emphasize enough that this isn't just "bummer, guess it's gone forever". You can get that mobility back, it is actually very achievable with the right modifications for your level!
This is the very simple "starting from zero muscles" program I followed, highly recommend it or something similar:

got tested for the sleepytired and it came back positive
at a conference I attended recently, a researcher pointed to the difficulty of finding material in archives because so much depends on the metadata and the terminology used to describe things changes over time. "it would be so helpful," the researcher said, "if I typed 'lesbian' into the library of congress database, it would also show me results that were categorised in the 50s, when the materials were interpreted as 'intimate female friendships'"
which is what tag wrangles at Archive Of Our Own do incredibly effectively: searching for "omegaverse" also leads to "alpha/beta/omega dynamics" and "alternate universe: a/b/o" and so on. but ao3 achieves this frankly incredible categorisation and indexing system by the power of countless volunteers putting in hours and hours of unpaid and unthanked free time, and it's completely understandable that most archives do not have that kind of infrastructure, but also how incredible that a fan-run website has better searchability, classification, and accessibility than the library of congress
God imagine if we had Universal Basic Income and so people who have trained in Archival Studies who would be interested in collaborating on a project of that scale could in fact do so instead of having to work jobs that have nothing to do with their skill set or interests in order to pay too much money for too little housing and food.
Follow the money behind America's data center boom. Track 2,300+ projects, PAC spending, and the politicians who sign off on it.
Reasons for hope: Lots of amazing people did a ton of work to make this fantastic, fully interactive resource available - because no matter how bleak things seem, there are millions, and millions of people doing everything they can to protect both the world and their own communities.
You can use this to view and subscribe to updates, project statuses, and for at least some of them even whole dossiers. This is an amazing resource, I highly recommend checking it out
I didn’t realise this had to be said until I came across a reel of someone in hospital but dear GOD if you’re in London during this heatwave do not swim in the fucking Thames PLEASE do not even touch the Thames I can name like five different ways you will be violently killed just off the top of my head STAY AWAY FROM THE THAMES and for that matter stay away from lakes/rivers in general and stick to safe, supervised areas of water such as swimming pools because the heat isn’t worth the risk of drowning, strong currents, harmful microbes, cardiac arrest with no help in sight etc. etc. PLEASE stay safe in this weather, especially if you’re not used to it!!
There are SO MANY amazing places to swim in this city that are clean, safe and affordable, please use them. You do not know better than The Thames. I know some of the guys who will be called on if you get into trouble or go missing, don't make them get into their heavy, hot RNLI uniform just because you don't want to pay a couple of quid at the Lido.

Can we please, PLEASE talk about Sharon D. Clarke as Lady Bracknell? MY GOD WHAT A WOMAN. The commanding presence she emanated throughout the play. What a force of nature. She played a constantly disapproving auntie down to a pat! She will have none of this tomfoolery, thank you very much!
And when she threw it down at the curtain call, I was yelling, "YESSSS QUEEN! EAT THEM UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!" at my screen.
Oh, what a privilege to watch this. Now excuse me while I go watch this again for as long as it remains up on Youtube.
Incidentally it's up on Archive.org if you want a copy to have and to keep.
There are a lot of cast/crew interviews I haven’t watched yet for this production - this chat between all the women in the cast is also good and includes some of her thoughts on developing her accent - but I really liked this SDC interview back during the theatrical run:
“…we can celebrate the words. I think people have gotten very hung up on Oscar's words, do you know what I mean, and a lot of the time when the play is done it's all about the language, the language, all about the Wildean language. And Oscar was a very flamboyant man who enjoyed life and enjoyed having fun, and I think sometimes in the playing of trying to make sure that you honour the language we forget to honour the man and the fun that the man had in his life, living his life the way that he wanted to live. We are doing his play I think in a way that Oscar would have wanted it to be seen, that it is seen as a joyous celebratory thing and not this subversive thing that had to be hidden, that he went to prison for. You know, we can celebrate that now, and I think that's the other thing that we want to get across to the audience that we are having fun as a company doing this, because it's a fun play!”
If you enjoyed Clarke as Lady Bracknell you may also be excited to hear that she's about to star as Othello at the Royal Shakespeare Company!
Do we have a franz kafka diary entry for july 1st, i want to know what he thinks!!!
happy too tired July everyone
