sending "?" to represent myself tilting my head like a dog
sending "!" to represent myself perking up w/ my ears/tail like a dog that just saw you grab the leash
sending "❗️" to represent the enemies spotting me
I love how tumblr is reverse chronological order so when your mutual starts having a blorbo breakdown overnight you get to start with the insane conclusion and work your way back to where they first went off the rails.
i think it's really funny that some people claim that the US has never lost a war
Vietnam? we totally won that one. Korea? had a definite ending and the ending was that we won. Iraq? Afghanistan? nothing but winning, baby
US Foreign Policy Through The Lens Of Uh That Didn't Count
The whole idea of US victory is to use your tax money, invade a country, murder innocent people, overthrow the leader, install an unpopular puppet leader, leave the country with a dysfunctional socio-economic system and call it victory in the name of freedom (a.k.a the free market)
Saw this Trucks Discourse on facebook and I'm not part of that world but yeah that one on the left is delightful and I really had no idea just how wasteful and pointless the other kind is until this comparison
it’s so sad that they’ve been selectively bred for size and aesthetics over their health. look at that pushed-in muzzle—there’s no way the one on the right can breathe properly
I would love to have a truck, but you just can't find ethical breeders these days. The new breed standard is bullshit.
right after iCharly ended they shot amanda costgrove like a lame horse. SAD. well theres other programs
I think too much about this moment when if you say "We could be good for each other", then Gortash's brain just freezes for a second and his "GOOD FOR EACH OTHER??? Don't be--" makes me laugh every time

The rituals have gotten so intricate
I hit a pothole (a Michigan pothole so basically a sinkhole) today and my check engine light came on. I don’t have one of those computer plugins to reset the light and I knew it was just a sensor that got knocked so I was just like “well let’s see if this works” and on the way home I swerved and hit the pothole again and the check engine light turned off
I just googled “Michigan Pothole”
IS THIS STATE OKAY??????
You ain't from Michigan if you never done this before
you know that quote "when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail" bc that's how i feel whenever i have a lysol wipe in my hand
if I had a pokemon I would just feed it burgers and slurpees and shit i dont care
last night i had a dream that i told a joke that was so funny it killed people. I woke up after killing someone with it and in my tired stupor, rushed to write it down before I forgot it or fell back asleep. I just checked and this is what i wrote down
Happy one year since I killed the queen
‘redditors need to know this’, ‘twitterinas need to know that’… no. you need to know one thing and that is that you are not allowed to complain about werewolf fuckers. this is the werewolf fucking website. grow up and go fuck a werewolf.
What does this gif have to do with werewolves?
if you have to ask you’re not ready
can you explain? i don’t get it
This is like someone just informed the newcomers about the devils sacrament taking place every full moon and the devil itself popped up asking “what sacrament?” with a cheshire grin.
Every fun post on here that encourages people to have hobbies/be creative always gets an avalanche of "Some people are poor Karen" type reactions and respectfully, you're all super annoying. I've never lived above the poverty line and this is a list of hobbies I have that were cheap or entirely free:
- Read books: Go to the library, lend a book from a friend
- knitting, crochet, embroidery: Get some needles from the bargan store and ask around, people have leftovers from projects they'll happily give you. Thrift stores also often carry leftover fabric and other supplies. And talk about your hobby loud enough and an old lady will show up and gift you their whole collection, because there are way more old ladies with a closet full of wool than there are grandchildren who want to take up the hobby.
- Origami/paper crafts: get some scrap paper and scissors, watch a youtube tutorial
- walking: put on shoes open door
- pilates/yoga/etc: get a mat or just use your carpet, watch a youtube tutorial
- Houseplants: look online for people that swap plant cuttings. There are always people giving out stuff for free to get you started. If you're nice enough you'll probably get extra
- gardening: You're gonna need some space for this one of course but you can just play around with seeds and cuttings from your grocery vegetables.
- aquarium keeping is a bit of an obscure one but I got most of my stuff second hand for cheap or free and now I have a few thousand euro worth of material and plants.
- drawing/art: You get very far just playing with bargan store materials. I did my entire art degree with mostly those.
- writing: Rotate a cow in your head for free
- cooking: again one you can make very expensive, but there are many budget recipes online for free. Look for African or Asian shops to get good rice and cheap spices.
- Join a non-profit: Cities will have creative organisations who let you use woodworking machines or screen presses or laser cutters or 3D printers etc etc etc for a small fee. Some libraries also lend out materials.
- candle making: You need some molds (cheap), wick, two old cooking pots for au bain marie melting and a ton of scrap candles, ask people to keep them aside for you.
- a herbarium, flower pressing: Leaves are free, wildflowers too, ask if you can take from peoples gardens.
- puzzles: thrift stores, your grandma probably
- Citizen science: look for projects in your area or get the iNaturalist app
And lastly and most importantly: Share! Share your supllies, share your knowledge. Surround yourself with other creative people and before you know it someone will give you a pot of homemade jam and when you want to paint your kabinet someone will have leftover paint in just the right color and you can give them a homemade candle in return and everyone is having fun and building skills and friendships and not a cent is exchanged. We have always lived like this, it's what humans are build to do.
And all of it sure beats sitting behind a computer going "No stranger, I refuse to let myself have a good time."
Anyway I'm logging off bc I'm making some badges for a friend who cooked for me and then I'm going to fix some holes in everyones clothes.
- Birdwatching - download a free app for identifying and/or logging and go for walks or hikes or just sit in your yard/at your window depending on where you live. (My biologist friend uses the Merlin Bird ID app for identifying and eBird for logging, so that’s what I got now that I’m getting into it. These apps are associated btw, both by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology). A cheap/basic pair of binoculars helps too.
- Crosswords and other word puzzles - lots of free sites
- Learn a language - Duolingo is free, among other apps
- Photography - Most people have smartphones these days that actually have decent enough cameras that could suffice for beginners and intermediates - the important part is your eye and the composition, etc. Plus there are free Photoshop-like sites for editing, like pixlr.com. Also you can find old, great quality DSLRs that still work for cheap! They’re not like cell phones lol; my Canon is almost 20 years old and works like a charm. And good ol' YouTube University can give you beginner lessons if you don't know what to look for or how to get started.
- Journaling (and/or bullet journaling)
- Read lyrics along with songs while listening to them. If you don’t have Spotify, there are tons of free lyric websites out there.
- Research an unfamiliar topic either online at home or at the library.
Also for any hobby or just life, there's always the Buy Nothing Project and freecycle and Trash Nothing where people exchange things rather than throwing away stuff they don't need!
