If you're in Vancouver, consider going to see this very fun show! The artist is a delightful and charismatic performer! (She's someone I know from dance classes.)
@staff whyyy would you take away the icon of the person whose post I'm viewing on my dashboard?? now I have to read the very top line carefully either before I read the post, or scroll all the way back up afterwards to see who posted/reblogged it. the icon used to scroll down with me in the margin but now it isn't even there at all.
what possible purpose can this serve? why would any user, new or old, prefer this to how it was before? I understand that you need to make some changes to cater to people coming from other social media platforms, but this one really makes no sense and makes the dashboard feel less friendly.
Please, at least give me the option of seeing my friends' icons next to their posts!
...and now the icons are back!?!!! I assume it's not because I complained, but hey, I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. Of course now there's a creepy pirate clown, but I was able to hide it using AdBlock.
Math dance moves (Unmute !)
this is so so so brilliant

Can someone please explain to me what evaporated milk is? Wouldn’t that just be gas by definition? I live in constant fear
no no it’s what left behind after the milk has been evaporated cuz only the water goes, not the other stuff
THERE’S WATER IN MILK?
WHAT DID YOU THINK THE LIQUID WAS?
IDK ISNT MILK ITS OWN LIQUID?
NO
IT’S MILK-STUFF MIXED WITH WATER
MILK STUFF? DOESNT IT JUST COME FROM THE COW’S TIT?
ITS LIKE TIT JUICE, THERE IS WATER IN JUICE AND THERE IS WATER IN MILK
It’s fat droplets suspended in water, with some nutrients and soforth dissolved in it. You know, like ranch dressing.
Evaporated milk is just dehydrated milk.

Obsessed with the user who assumed milk was its own element on the periodic table
As op I felt like I had to make this
Milk, the forbidden 119th element
the only question left is if it’s a metal, non-metal, or metalloid.
OP seems to have classified it as a special case of halfnium, reclassified as a lanthanide. This has fascinating implications for electron orbital geometry.
Anyway it’s a rare earth metal apparently.
Yes I definitely classified it intentionally and knew exactly what I was doing when I put it with the lanthanides because I am never wrong
MILK IS A RARE EARTH METAL
I thought so, I took one look at your classification and immediately thought “this is definitely someone with a deep understanding of how the periodic table works”
I’m glad that we have reached a consensus on the expected elemental properties of milk
I’d really like to know what @derinthescarletpescatarian’s thoughts are on milk’s electron orbital geometry
That would involve writing a crash course in how suborbitals work on a post about whether water (the primary ingredient in milk) is in milk and even for tumblr that’s going a bit far
no, it is absolutely not going too far
You guys always complain that you don’t get to learn stuff in normal ways and then you come asking for this
MILK IS SEVERAL COMPOUNDS PLEASE YALL ARE KILLING ME OVER HERE
We have a container of dry milk because in addition to a little fat and sugars, it contains proteins, which settle into the pores of nitrocellulose membranes, making sure analytical proteins (specific antibodies) don’t get trapped. We could just use casein (one of the proteins in milk), but milk is much cheaper and can also be found at Walmart.
No milk is a lanthanide keep up
lanthanide?
I think you mean lactanide
I will put lego in all of your shoes
A cube of milk with 3 inches of edge length can blow up the galaxy.
Our galaxy is actually the result of such an explosion, that’s why we call it the Milky Way

this is a unique sort of thread in which you’ll find two types of people exclusively: nerds and dumbasses
Enter OCEAN EYES and NOT DEAD YET, two of the king’s most quarrelsome stablehands.
OCEAN May one explain what powdered milk doth be? Is it not gas? I live in constant fear.
NOT DEAD The water flees to air, the rest is left. The dry debris then forms the powdered milk.
OCEAN Thou sayest water doth reside in milk?
NOT DEAD Pray tell what thou believ’st the liquid is?
OCEAN Is milk not one pure substance in itself?
NOT DEAD No; ‘tis only milk-stuff mixed with water.
OCEAN Yet milk appears from living cows’ own tits!
NOT DEAD ‘Tis juice from tits, yet water still it holds. If water be in juice, then ‘tis in milk.
Enter DERIN, the scarlet pescatarian.
DERIN ‘Tis drops of fat afloat in water, As if ‘twas dressing for thy greens. With water gone, the powdered milk remains.
A NOTE attached to an arrow, written by BURNING BRAND, flies through the window.
BURNING BRAND’S NOTE Obsessed with he who foolishly believ’d That milk is element of chemistry.
The NOTE crumbles to ash. BURNING BRAND is not seen again.
OCEAN As he who instigated such a fight, I felt that this creation was my duty.
OCEAN unrolls a scroll of parchment with a flourish.
OCEAN Behold, ‘tis milk, one hundred and nineteen.
Enter JASON FUNDER BERKER, a frog.
JASON FUNDER BERKER And yet the burning question still remains: ‘Tis metal, not, or somewhere in between?
JASON FUNDER BERKER does not wait to hear the answer, and exits.
DERIN A lanthinide! A special case, I see. How fascinating, geometrically. But let us leave atomic musings be. For milk is a rare metal of our Earth.
OCEAN Of course it is, for I am always right. My choices are, of course, deliberate.
DERIN I do not doubt thou speakest truth, my lord Thy brilliant mind is utterly unmatch’d. It seems that an agreement has been reach’d.
OCEAN Of course; however, in sincerity I wish to know thy scholar-driven thoughts.
DERIN I fear ‘twould be beyond thy comprehension. To teach to thee would take this much too far.
Exit OCEAN, in a huff. Enter JESIN, BOOP BOOP, FLIPOCRITE, VELVET, and LOVELY DREAMS, curious onlookers attracted to the scene.
JESIN Do teach us, it would not take this too far!
DERIN Ye all complain of learning strangely, Then ask me baiting questions such as this!
BOOP BOOP Thy gross ineptitude shall be my death! Milk is formed of small component parts. The fat, the sugars, proteins all combine They seep through pores of membranes in this drink Unpleasant compounds all are filter’d out. All this obtained for small amounts of coin.
DERIN No, milk is lanthanide, pray keep the pace.
FLIPOCRITE The word thou mean’st is lactanide, I think.
DERIN May sharpened pain-shaped stones fill up thy shoes So that thou never know’st a moment’s peace.
VELVET A cube of milk, three inches on each side Could blow up the entire galaxy.
DERIN Our galaxy was formed in such a fashion. ‘Tis why we gave it name of “Milky Way.”
LOVELY DREAMS Thus ends our entertainment for the night Here fools and pompous scholars come to fight.
Exuent, pursued by a cow.

This is one of those threads that would go perfectly as a video set to “in the hall of the mountain king” and we all know it, I’m just not gonna be the one to make it
ohhhh @marinkinnnnnnnnnnn
my favorite genre of post is "absurd internet drama i've never ever heard of told in a carefully-paced screenshot montage set to In The Hall of the Mountain King"

A clarification
With regards to @medealikethesorceress' excellent poll, I feel I should clarify that in reflecting on the troubles these heroines had to go through, the main reason I couldn't choose Catherine Morland despite the swoonworthiness of Henry Tilney is that before reaching her happy ending, she had to spend a lot of time with John Thorpe. When I reread Northanger Abbey, I usually end up skipping substantial portions of the book to avoid him!
Please reblog with your reasoning as to your choice if you have one, I'm very curious
Unfortunately this will probably just end up being a survey of whom you would most like to marry at the end, but I'd take both Catherine's difficulties and her man ❤️
In economics we divide the population into income quintiles -- top 20%, bottom 20%, etc
The Biden Economy has been very, very good to the bottom 20% -- I know because I am in that quintile and under the Biden Presidency I have seen multiple SNAP increases, the best COLA adjustments for Social Security in four decades, Medicare now pays my utilities, and because I'm part of the Affordable Connectivity Program, they can now never turn off my internet even if I can't afford to pay the bill.
The problem with the poorest people being the one who benefits the most? Is that it doesn't resonate as a media story. The media is not catering to that bottom quintile -- we don't have the expendable income their advertisers are seeking.
But if you want to elect a POTUS who is honestly helping the people who need it the most, you should be an enthusiastic Biden supporter. It won't make splashy news headlines, you're not even going to find MSNBC going GUESS WHAT THE POORS ARE DOING BETTER all the time because it's really not a sexy story. But it's a real story. A true story.
I'm just really sick of the pseudo-leftist takes that characterize Biden and the Democrats as 'conservative' or assertions that they don't have policy platforms except 'we're not the Republicans.' Such commentary sounds intelligent but only in the way Libertarian commentary sounds intelligent: you have to not think critically at all to some to such absurd conclusions. Democrats are working within a broken system and doing the best they can. You wanna fix the system? Great, I'm onboard, but smearing the only people trying to help is not going to get you anywhere.

- Affordable Connectivity Program
- USAToday: “The Social Security COLA was 8.7% for 2023, the largest increase since 1981.”
- Non-(directly)-medical Medicare benefits [source funded by insurance company but article corroborated by others]
- SNAP benefits did overall decrease in 2023 it looks like, because some pandemic bonus expired and in balance to the massive COLA increase to social security and medicare. But the vast majority of people did come out better on that new balance (no massive public policy shift is better for everyone)
It’s really important to me that Cissy wasn’t raped.
She consented and she still deserves love and support and respect and she’s still a good girl. That was a bold & controversial stance for Montgomery in 1926 and unfortunately it’s still bold & controversial in many circles in 2023.
No shame for Cissy. She did nothing wrong.
Shame on Deerwood.
This was such an important and such a bold point for Montgomery to make. Cissy DID do everything that the gossips accused her of - and that didn't mean that she stopped being in any way a thoroughly good girl. So much better than all those people who were satisfied to watch her die in neglect and scorn.
Adding @deemoyza and @somefoolmuttered to the reblogs
Before leaving home, Valancy looks down Lover's Lane and sees two types of relationships she's missed out on--lovers and female friends--and says she isn't sure which one she'd want most. So I love that she gets both. Instead of just running off to romance and marriage, she first gets to have the experience of female friendship with Cissy. I love that Montgomery recognizes that this is an equally important part of giving Valancy a full life.
