Cool house
Youâd think they could afford some rocking chairs lol.
Talking college experiences at work and casually mentioned "one of those semesters where you're so overloaded that you're basically living off gummy worms and five hour energy" and a younger coworker was like wtf why would you do that and I am absolutely heartbroken that the COVID-remote-college generation never got to experience the mid-November double-all nighter on campus slamming weird snake-themed energy drinks from Hmart debuggin gyour FUCKING robot that won't turn left. Tragic!!!
Or that biomechanics final project that we only finished through the power of spite and dumpster donuts.
Or when you order delivery to campus and one Dominoes pizza is dinner for two nights in a row and you don't go home in between because your drone isn't following the red ping pong ball on a stick. Please just follow the ping pong ball its literally red.
or when you stay up 72 hours on the power of gallons of arizona iced tea debugging assembly code
We definitely learned some bad habits and wrong lessons but I'll be fucked if the experience didn't teach us how to lock the fuck in when the chips are down.
Genuinely I sometimes miss the brain buzz you get following a week of alternating all-nighters and 4 hour naps. Maybe I should finally get a PhD.
you can NOT stop moving. the momentum is the only thing keeping your heart beating and if you EVER fail to put one foot in front of the other you'll ruin everything and everybody will know it was you
Dating myself here but back when I was a sophomore and Pizza Hut was a proper restaurant they had this delivery special going on where youâd get one large pizza at regular price and then up to five more larges for $4 each. I ate so much pizza that year, but food for five or six days was about $35 and that was too good to pass up.
Old Assumptions
There was a time when the world was built upon different assumptions. Not better people. Not smarter people. Just different assumptions.
The assumption was that a broken chair would be repaired. That a worn tool would be sharpened. That a machine would be rebuilt rather than discarded. That a man who did not yet know how to do something could learn.
The assumption was that usefulness was not purchased, but made.
Open an old magazine and you can still see it between the pages. Instructions for building a boat in the backyard. Plans for a radio assembled on the kitchen table. Articles explaining how to pour concrete, wire a workshop, repair an engine, build a cabinet, raise a barn.
No one stopped to explain why an ordinary person was capable of these things. It was simply assumed.
The world expected participation.
Somewhere along the way, the assumptions changed.
Now we are surrounded by things we are not meant to open, repair, modify, or understand. We are told to replace rather than mend, to hire rather than learn, to consume rather than create. And because we hear it often enough, many begin to believe that building is the work of specialists, and repair the work of experts.
Yet the old assumptions still linger in certain places.
They live in machine shops where tools older than their owners still earn their keep. They live in workshops where scraps of steel become brackets, where worn bearings are replaced instead of ignored, where old radios glow to life after decades of silence. They live in garages, barns, basements, and sheds. They live in calloused hands and notebooks filled with measurements.
Most of all, they live in the quiet belief that nearly anything can be understood if one is willing to spend enough time with it.
That is the oldest assumption of all.
A broken machine is not a mystery. It is a lesson waiting to be learned.
A missing part is not the end of a project. It is a problem waiting for a solution.
A thing does not lose its value simply because it requires effort. Perhaps that is why old tools, old buildings, and old machines feel different. They come from a world that expected stewardship. They were built by people who assumed someone would care for them after they were gone.
To hold something once meant more than possession. It meant responsibility. It meant maintenance. It meant repair. It meant preserving what was worth preserving and passing it on with a little more life left in it than when it was received.
Those assumptions have become less common, but they have not disappeared. They survive wherever someone looks at a broken thing and says, "Let's see if I can fix it." They survive wherever someone looks at a problem and says, "I can learn." They survive wherever creation is valued more than convenience.
And in those places, the old world has not vanished completely. It is still there, quietly waiting, built upon old assumptions.
EXCELLENT article!!
Remember "Stewardship"?
Practice Stewardship!
An old word that needs to be reintroduced to a new generation.

hey you. teenage girl writing in her diary. quit talking about the boy you have a crush on and start writing about the current political situation, the valuation of currencies, and the level of technology your people hold. your diary might be the only piece of evidence our society existed after nuclear war fries all of our data backups. future historians don't need to know about damian, they need at least a secondhand accounts of the great water wars and whether or not your leaders truly did worship a deity called "the free hand of the market"
Keep writing about your crush Teenaged Girl. About your clothes, and how that other girl wore the same dress as you. Paint me a picture of what you were like.
Historians are going to hear about Damian and they're gonna LIKE IT
I think the important thing here isâŚ..
Does he sell metals of any kind and of what quality?
is this a thing? has anyone done this yet?
ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs
after the hyperprocessed foods, do you take tranquilizers to simulate getting captured by animal control and returned to the wild?
i would settle for melatonin gummies but well. knock yourself out
Coming into a fandom late
Coming into a fandom early and watching it become an angry clusterfuck
Being in a dormant fandom that suddenly comes alive again after a new book/movie
Donât forget about those who come in the midst of a fandom war.Â
Accuracy at its best
Being in a fandom and not even knowing thereâs a war going onâŚ
all of this shitâŚlol
When Youâre Not In The Fandom But Youâre Nosy AF
When you get into a fandom only to discover itâs dead
This gets better every time I see it.Â
@fuboos-mess
Being in a dead fandomâŚ
Or being in such a tiny fandom that it feels like youre the only one
The accuracy hurts.
Being in a fandom that had a shit ending.
When youâve been fangirling long enough, youâve experienced all of the above.
Being in a fandom meant for kids.
This just gets better..
@mi-kleos
When you realize that joining the fandom has ruined you
Fandom hell in general
Yes.
This^^^ just⌠ALL OF THIS.
Being in so many fandoms that you donât even know whatâs going on
THIS IS THE SKULDUGGERY FUCKING PLEASANT FANDOM IN ONE POST!!
Trying to recruit people to your fandom
Annnnnnndddd itâs back
Being in a fandom which has so many antis
Iâve probably reblogged this before, but that was before these great additions.
Being in a fandom that actually works together
Why is this so true? All of it.
being in a fanbase but all your mutuals suddenly turn into Kpop blogs
I always enjoy it when a good post comes around again and has been improved by the reblogs like the years for a fine wine.
Being in a fandom when shit goes down and everyone has different opinions
When you are in a fandom and donât care for others people opinionâŚ..even if they are rightâŚ(believe me, I have met several of those)
Being in a fandom you never meant to join
I love this. and itâs gotten better
After abandoning a fandom youâre still a little bit emotionally invested inâŚ.
All of these are me. Lol
Being in a fandom on Tumblr
And it reached its epic conclusion
I CHOKED ON FUNDIP
HISTORY HAS BEEN ENGRAVED INTO THIS POST
The Queen has requested that everybody with a knighthood attend a meeting at Windsor Castle. Speaking to the sizeable crowd of ageing actors and retired musicians, she explains why - The dragons are back, and she expects that every knight will do his duty.
Everyone turns and looks at Ian McKellen.
âOh Christ,â he says. âIf only Christopher Lee were still here. Then we might have a chance.â
Dame Judi Dench stands up and cracks her knuckles. âFine, then, if youâre all too chicken⌠come on, Maggie, letâs do this.â
@elfhawk3
Dame Helen Mirren simply stands, and everyone turns to look at her. She curtsies perfectly, and murmurs, âIf I may Your Majesty, a few questions.â The Queen inclines her head graciously. âThank you. Is there information about dragons, their preferred habitats, behaviors, and their social structure if any, that is credible and might put us at a better advantage? Also, if we might have information about their current whereabouts and disposition, please.â At a glance from the queen, an exhausted-looking Prince Harry steps forward and reports. âCattle and sheep are disappearing or being mauled along the Orkneys & outer Hebrides, Dame Helen. From what we can tell, the females are larger than the males, and lead most of the hunts. Our current theory is that there has been less property or loss of human life damage than might be because it seems as if as if theyâre training their young to hunt and focusing on livestock.â âHow was this information obtained?â Dame Judi asks. âTell us you never went up in your chopper and did the reconnaissance yourself.â âNever, maâam.â he says, his dimples appearing. âWe used drones.â Dames Judi and Helen nod in approval, and Maggie adds wryly, âMaâam? You most definitely outrank her, Your Highness. She only played a few queens.â A ripple of not entirely comfortable laughter runs through the room. When it ends, the Queen says, âA soldier knows generals when he sees them.â She turns to Dame Helen. âYour thoughts, Dame Helen. What resources do you require?â Helenâs spine goes straight, she trembles the slightest bit, and she bows her head, accepting it, squares her shoulders, and says to Harry, âTo recap: possibly matrilineal packâŚprideâŚclutch..flight of dragons has been hunting along the northwestern shores of Scotland.â âWeâre using a flight of dragons, maâam, and yes.â âOn holiday or settling in?â Helen adds. Prince Harry winces a little, âWe tried to follow them back to see where they were nesting, but⌠âFirebreathers,â Queen Elizabeth interjects.  âFirebreathers the size of an aircraft carrier.â Harry nods soberly. âWeâve noted that theyâve only done so when followed by a drone, and over waterâŚand the final footage from them supports the theory of teaching the young - about the size of a Range Rover - to huntâŚand fight.â Everyone takes a long beat to absorb that. âRight,â Helen says, jerking everyone straight with the sound of her voice alone. âAlternative methods for defense? Canât have planes getting slagged out of the sky, can we?â She turns and asks the queen briskly to the queen, âYour Majesty, does magic exist?â Everyone sort of helplessly turns Dame Maggie, who, at a nod from the Queen says softly, âIâll call Jo.â Helen pales a bit. âThank you. Next question. The Good Neighbors?â (fae) Harry grimaces, âDavid Bowie was our last liaison and a replacement has not been made known to us.â Elton John stands, âI can make some inquiries.â When everyone looks at him, he says, hollow, âThey like musicians.â
Nodding approvingly, Helen says, âAnd those who appreciate the natural world. Judi, youâre the closest thing I know to a druid, back him up, and gather a delegation, see if Bowie left some reports or notes, and prepare for a fact-and-potential-aid-finding mission. And get some good lawyers, if memory serves the Good Neighbors drive hard bargains.â Sir David Attenborough rises with a self-deprecating cough, âI am an honorary DruidâŚI have some connections that might prove useful with reliable historical information.â âYou awful thing,â Judi grouses, âDruids and you never said! But come along then.âÂ
âMaggie,â Helen says, âMagic. We need options if negotiations fail. Iâd prefer defensive if we can, but we should prepare. And you need a team.âÂ
Dame Maggie looks over there group and holds her hand out. A small golden light appears. âHere be dragons. I know this is not the done thing, not in public, but If those able and willing to serve would send me their calling cardsâŚ.mine will come to you automatically.â Eyes open in wonder and jaws drop as a tiny golden ball flies from the Queenâs hand to Dame Maggieâs. âOur line does not have a great deal of innate magic left, save one, but Our library is at your disposal, Dame Margaret.â After the Queen outed herself as magic user, tiny golden orbs streak across the room, generally positive murmurs here and there as someone openly formed the ball of light in their palm. Soon, Dame Maggie had a diadem of tiny orbs circling her head, and managed to encourage them all to nestle in her bag, the previous contents hastily emptied into someoneâs lap. âAnd your needs, Dame Helen?â Queex Elizabeth asked. âDragon snacks and diplomats,â she begins bluntly and is interrupted by a wave of nervous laughter, which is ruthlessly squelched by twin glares from the Queen and Helen. âCattle, sheep, I think, perhaps some pig and goats for a change, and I need them headed for the Scotish coast - there are not sufficient numbers in the area - as unobtrusively as possible. We need a central location close toâŚâ Prince Harry began shaking his head immediately, âThe closest air bases are former RAF facilities that are radar stations now, maâam, and not as fortified as Iâd like for this. Best let them keep ferrying information from Saxa Vord in the Shetlands, and weâve evacuated the Ministry of Defence station in the Hebrides, along with most of the population.â  âBalmoral,â Queen Elizabeth says.  âAmbassadors need somewhere to negotiate, entertain, and impress and it is close enough. And the grounds are both secure and large enough to host one of those larger dragons.â After blinking twice, Dame Helen inclines her head at being offered one of the royal familyâs private homes.  âThat is most kind, Your Majesty.â She adds gently âI need an Executive Officer sort, preferably someone already in the know who wonât balk at magic or druids or fae as well as dragons, charming but capable, and a liaison between the knights and the Royal Family. And a pilot, who can ferry us quickly to the coast if need be.â There is a long pause as the Queen considers this request, then she looks up at her grandson who is beaming down at her crookedly. If the Queen of England rolled her eyes, her expression says, sheâd be rolling them now. She nods, and everyone can see the concerned but proud grandmother in her gaze. Prince Harry Windsor turns and offers Helena Mirren a salute. A glowing orb of light forms on his palm and flies to circle the dameâs head.  âVolunteering for duty, Dame Helen.â âHeâs not much for defensive spells as of yet,â Queen Elizabeth says, with the patience of a longsuffering tutor with a beloved student.  âBut he doesâŚâ âKnow how to be charming in tense situations and can pick locks a treat.â Helen plucks the orb from the air and lets it circle curiously around her palm, âThen cry God for Harry,â she says lightly, in relieved and gracious acceptance.  âFor England,â Judi says, emphatic and softly intense. âAnd St. George,â Maggie finishes firmly.   Â
I seriously love you Mx. Bead-bead
You KNOW the minute Harry showed up I had to had to HAD TO use that line to end it. SOMEHOW. :) <3

I apologize to everyone whose grammar I ever corrected before I learned not to be a tool.
your forgiven.
Youâre⌠really sweet to do that. Thanks.
making fun of americans is pretty much always ok if youre not doing it in an edgelord âyou guys have so many school shootingsâ way or acting like weâre the only country that has racism. but like posts about americans and hamburger get me every time
This is just objectively hilarious
Breakfast gun goes on the right (if right-handed) but must be layed on its left side; the proper orientation to grab it quickly in case of attack.
I'm confident that's what he meant
I'd argue it goes on the left on its right side if you're right-handed, due to your utensil of choice already occupying your right hand.
Then you have to reach across the plate to draw.
It's coffee mug on the left, breakfast gun on the right. It's all finger food anyway so etiquette says do that with the left hand to keep your right open in case of a self defense situation
Is no one going to mention the unacceptable lack of sausage in the picture?
Add that to the list of things to buy after I get the truck fixed and the house fixed and a better job and better clothes andâŚ..
basketball dracula isn't real dude he can't-- *sudden squeaking noises from the shadows*
*two pool toys having sex tumble by in the wind* oh thank god
*thunderous slam dunk noise*
I originally read âtwo pool toysâ as âtwo pool boysâ so thatâs the kind of evening Iâm having.

Amaury "Chocolate Guy" Guichon is undoubtedly an extremely skilled sculptor in chocolate but I think my favorite thing about a lot of his videos is the effort he puts into putting actual dessert food under the sculpture work
So many of his desserts & pastries have at least 5 layers of different textures & flavors. Fruit jams, caramel, cake, creams, mousse, cookies, meringue, crumb layers etc
That's what makes his work truly impressive to me, especially as someone who quickly got tired of the "knife that turns everything into cake" thing, where it was all basic chocolate cake buried under 13 layers of fondant
It takes amaury's work from an impressive stunt to "if I ate that, it would probably be the best thing I'd eat in my whole life"
Something Iâve noticed about his sculptures is a good number of them go through a stage where the vaguely resemble penises and then morph into birds and other things with long necks.
Just as a joke Iâd kind of like to see him do one that starts off looking like a large bird and ends up as a penis. đ
question 2 my followers: whatâs the most obscure piece of media youâve ever developed a fixation with? not obscure as in âat one point had a reasonably thriving fandom that eventually fadedâ but something you feel you were almost entirely alone in your appreciation for
The Happy Hollisters. Itâs an out of print juvenile book series about a large family solving various mysteries they stumble across in the course of their lives. I stumbled across it in elementary school during a summer reading program at the Birmingham, AL public library. Itâs also where I discovered The Bobsey Twins, a much more popular series that gets updated and republished every twenty or thirty years.
At any rate Iâm currently in the process of collecting copies of all the Happy Hollister books for my personal library. Iâll work on the Bobsey Twins when Iâm done with those. I already have The Hardy Boys in the blue bindings, in addition to a few volumes in the brown bindings.
