So Josh Thomas did an AMA and then for the final question someone asked this and his answer was just this haunted stare into the camera with that expression. I love him

Hey, it probably wasn't intentional but The Mitchells vs the Machines seriously feels like a great example of how neurodiversity runs in families and how it can look different even within the same family and lead to both understanding and frustrations

Like, I watched this and saw a low income family full of undiagnosed autism just trying to understand each other

And I took that personally (and maybe cried about it on and off through the whole movie)

Anyway, can't believe the Mitchells saved the world through the power of This Entire Family Is On The Autism Spectrum

a truly enjoyable part of the tumblr experience is not being a supernatural fan and trying to decipher the spn post-finale fandom drama that stirs up every week or so like an immersive horror puzzle game

the classic Finnish mix of extreme dutifulness and "we will make actual conversation after a silent interaction trial period of 6 weeks, thank you" can be really funny sometimes. told my coworker that I'd like to save the coffee grounds the workplace generated and take them home "for my mushrooms and worms" and she was just like "okei" and dutifully saved every single grounds-filled filter for weeks and weeks. about five weeks into this whole thing, after I thank her for the coffee grounds and tell her my worms must love them because they're breeding very enthusiastically, she finally asks "so your worms... do they have a purpose or are they just... worms". like sure I'll save you all these coffee grounds every single time I drink coffee, 3+ times a day, but god forbid I inquire about your specific worm habits before propriety allows it. you could be eating them for breakfast for all I know but that's your business

this, I think, is my ideal love language

has tumblr heard of the ‘salmon chaos’ happening in taiwan yet

‘Taiwan was engulfed in “salmon chaos” (鮭魚之亂) this week as more than 300 people legally changed their names to “salmon” (鮭魚) to take advantage of a promotion at a Taiwanese sushi chain.’

‘The Chinese word for salmon (鮭魚) is pronounced “gui yu.” People with a Chinese character in their name pronounced “gui” or “yu” got 10% off, people with two characters pronounced “gui” and “yu” got 50% off, and people with the exact same characters for salmon ate for free.’

‘Sushiro required a national ID card as evidence, but it turns out it’s extremely easy and cheap to legally change your name in Taiwan. It only costs ~$3 US ($80 NTD). This led dozens to rush out and change their names, like this person, who changed their name to “Salmon Liu.”

‘While many simply renamed themselves “Salmon,” others got more creative, such as “Whirlpool Naruto Salmon Xie” (謝渦鳴人鮭魚) and “Die (like salmon) Together Pan” (潘同鮭魚盡), punning on the Chinese idiom for “perish together” (同歸於盡). 5/’

‘One certain Mr. Chen decided to put a whole bunch of other food in his new name as well (in case of future promotions?), becoming the nearly untranslatable “陳愛台灣鮑鮪鮭魚松葉蟹海膽干貝龍蝦和牛肉美福華君品晶華希爾頓凱薩老爺.” ‘

‘Tragedy also struck for some Salmon Gang members, such as this medical student, who did not realize that Tawainese law only allows people to change their name three times ever. Out of name changes, he is stuck with his new name, “Salmon Dream Chang.” ‘

wait this post is missing the best part:

However, a Taiwanese lawyer who read about Mr. Chang’s plight pointed out a loophole in the law, whereby if Mr. Chang and his father have the same exact name, Chang is still allowed to change it.
The lawyer helpfully suggested that Mr. Chang have his father also change his name to “Salmon Dream“, allowing Mr. Chang to change his name back, and then have the father change his name back later as well, as long as he still has name changes left.
