when Walter white said "smoking marijuana, eating Cheetos, and masturbating does not constitute plans in my book" he was wrong. this is the moment he really became Heisenberg. if you ask me

When I was a kid, I was really enamored a handful of local radio stations--the DJs were hilarious and really nice and would play songs for you, but my favorite thing was this thing one of them did called the 5:20 Primal Scream.

Every day at 5:20 he would take a random caller and let them shriek their head off on the air. No opinions or venting or anything like that, just wordless screaming. Often these were people in traffic or just getting off work. And you got some really adorable people being all "YRAERGH" and then giggling and feeling better after

And I remember one guy who just went "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" for like half a minute and the DJ was like "holy crap you're like some kind of tornado siren". I think about that guy sometimes.

And I think about that DJ. I hope he's doing okay.

there are mass produced, bootleg au sans plushies. shipping au sanses together is going strong to this day. search “sans” on tumblr, and scroll for a while

i literally need you to listen to me. sans outdoes the onceler.

the onceler was a tumblr-specific sexyman whereas sans breached containment and became the wider internet’s sexyman

and sans was a good and memorable character outside of the sexymanification, whereas the onceler was very forgettable aside from that

sans is a bigger tumblr sexyman than the onceler. but the onceler is like, a higher percentage of sexymanness per volume or whatever

On Monday night in South London, armed police trapped a black man named Chris Kaba inside a car and executed him through the windshield. He was 24 years old. Today, a protest march demanding justice for his murder was broadcast on Sky News, who reframed it as a moving tribute to the queen by thousands of grieving subjects.

Some of the lowest, most despicable shit I've ever seen from the British media and believe me when I say I've some depraved stuff in the past.

Reblog if your a demon attached to someone’s thrift store finds

please elaborate

for anyone confused by this, some christian extremists genuinely believe preowned items are potentially dangerous because they likely belonged to “worldly” people who may have put demons in them on purpose or accidentally allowed demons to attach to them

when your cooler mutuals reblog your posts like yes i am getting a good grade in friend, which is both normal to want and possible to achieve

imoutocoq

just got back from therapy and i think wanting respect & acknowledgement from your respected peers might be normal in an unironic sense

art nouveau really slapped and served and they were so right about florals and curves and unconventionality and originality and being inspired by the shapes of nature and wanting to incorporate fine art into home design and rejecting the compulsory conformity of mass manufacturing like every time i see an utilitarian square bricks and metal building i want to kill myself immediately

What’s wild to me is how completely all European media are committed to pretending that everybody loved the fucking queen. Every colonized country has some variation of a ‘fuck yeah the bitch is dead’ hashtag trending on social media, a whole stadium in Dublin gleefully chanted ‘Lizzy’s in a box’, there are clearly a massive amount of people celebrating…. and it seems like not a single media outlet seems to think that’s an interesting thing to write about. Not even in a shitty moralizing way. They usually looove generating outrage clicks but now? They just collectively decide it doesn’t exist and shouldn’t be acknowledged in any way. I found one article in an Irish newspaper, nothing anywhere else.

6 days in and today a Dutch media outlet finally broke the mold. There have been some mild ‘well not everyone in the former colonies loves the monarchy’ takes in the Dutch newspaper NRC, but they weremostly listed as ‘opinions’, did a lot of both-sides-ism and didn’t really lay down the dirt. But today, Nu.nl, which is one of the largest free online news platforms in the Netherlands (and isn’t known for being particularly progressive or critical) published this:

Here’s the whole piece in English for you. Not because it’s the best, but because I am so amazed to see this in the mainstream media after all the obligatory mourning bullshit:

Elizabeth II was inextricably linked to British colonial crimes
The death of Elizabeth II has rekindled the discussion in many countries about the British colonial past. During the Queen’s 70 years on the throne, some 20 British colonies gained independence. But critics say the British monarch has never actively cooperated in the freedom of those oppressed countries.
“We do not mourn the death of Elizabeth.” is how the South African opposition party EFF reacted to the death of the British Queen. “She never admitted during her reign that the United Kingdom committed colonial atrocities.”
“The Queen has been instrumental in covering up the bloody history of British decolonization.” So said historian and Harvard professor Maya Jasanoff in The New York Times. “How big that history is, we have yet to discover.”
During Elizabeth’s years on the throne, the British brutally crushed an uprising by the Kenyan anti-colonial Mau Mau movement. Some 11,000 insurgents were killed in the former British colony between 1952 and 1960. Some were brutally tortured. In 2013, about five thousand Kenyan claimants received compensation totaling more than 20 million euros.
33 Cypriot victims also received compensation from the British in 2019. Between 1955 and 1959 they were tortured on the Mediterranean island, which became independent in 1960.
British destroyed documents about colonial crimes. We may never know all the crimes the British committed in 37 colonies in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. The former colonizers destroyed thousands of documents reporting slavery, racism, executions without trial and torture. This was done to cover up the misdeeds and protect the reputation of the government and the Queen, The Guardian revealed in 2012.
What Elizabeth discussed weekly with the British Prime Minister about foreign policy is also not public. What is certain is that the British monarch has never clearly spoken out against colonialism in public. She didn’t get much further than “we can’t turn back the past”.
For many, Elizabeth II was a symbol of colonial oppression Elizabeth II stood symbolically at the head of the Commonwealth until her death. This is a voluntary partnership of 54 mainly former British colonies, including Canada, Australia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan and New Zealand.
In reality, the British founded the Commonwealth to retain as much influence as possible over the former colonies. They would still need guidance from the ‘more developed’ United Kingdom.
The British queen had no real political power. “But she did embody her country’s colonial policies on all her travels,” said journalist and former foreign correspondent Howard W. French. “She never criticized that.”
Mixed feelings among Commonwealth residents Many Commonwealth residents have mixed feelings in response to the death of Britain’s longest-serving monarch in history. “Bad things happened here because of the queen,” a resident of the former colony of Jamaica told the Jeugdjournaal.
“She never said sorry,” a compatriot chimed in about the former British colonizer. “And I don’t think it will get any better with Elizabeth’s son and successor Charles.”
