feelin' this one today lads

I have this picture of sasuke on my phone that chase and I call “safe for work sasuke” and it’s because it’s the tallest picture in my camera roll so whenever he sends me any nsfw stuff when I’m in public I just send sfw sasuke and he takes up the whole screen

certified iconic post

do you love the color of the sky?

This goes against the Geneva Conventions and I will have your head for it

are you referring to this?

where is he. 

WHERE IS HE?! 

WHAT DID YOU PUT HIM???!

FUCK

can't believe that the outside public perception of the stereotypical "tumblr girl" is still a skinny cis 2012 hipster who romanticizes mental illness and/or a superwholock fandom teen when the average girl actually using tumblr in 2022 is an autistic transsexual with furry tendencies

…minnie is what

what is his problem 😭

How dare you hide this in the tags

When I realized pre-packaged food was for me, my entire outlook on life changed.

Let me explain.

I remember walking through the grocery store with my mother as a teen and her making a bitter comment about how everything had more packaging now. De-shelled hard boiled eggs in plastic, cut fruit, pre-portioned salads, all of it was "laziness" to her. She insisted people were getting lazier to the point where if my brother ate pizza from the fridge, she would chastise him for not heating it. She would say "you deserve warm pizza" as a way of saying you should do something the "right way" because it's worth doing.

This isn't because my mother had no concept of people with disabilities, she is disabled herself. However, in raising me, she taught me to hide that disability, to try to be on everyone else's level so we aren't seen as weaker. That laziness is worse than being disabled and there's simply no excuse for taking shortcuts. I don't think she intended to teach me this, but her own internalized ableism was so loud.

When I became an adult, I realized I hated cooking. The prep was tedious, I almost always have dishes in the sink, there's cleanup after, my back hurts, my eyes burn, it's too hot and in the beginning, I got overwhelmed to the point of crying. Leftovers were almost never eaten becuase heating them up (the "correct" way to eat them) was an extra step that made me not want to put the effort in. I thought I was lazy and felt ashamed when I wanted something to eat but couldn't bring myself to make it.

At some point, I finally said "I'm tired. I don't care how much packaging it is, I don't care how lazy it is, I'm going to get meal kits."

It was life-changing. Dinner takes 30 minutes to make. Everything is portioned. The directions are clear. I don't hate it anymore. I want salads in bags. I want eggs that don't take three steps to eat. It's not laziness, it's accessible! I don't have to make a meal, I can eat the raw vegetables, have pasta with butter, eat a granola bar! There's no right way to feed myself!

I made things SO HARD on myself because I wasn't acknowledging my disability or my depression and they didn't need to be hard! I didn't need to go around the store saying "is that really necessary?" Because it IS necessary for me! It's brilliant! It's so helpful!

Accessibility takes so many forms and overcoming internalized guilt for not being able-bodied or mentally well enough to handle tasks other handle easily is incredibly freeing. Obviously I'm lucky to be in the position to have this option avaliable to me, but I kept myself from it for far too long.

I do deserve warm pizza. I can have it delivered.

yeah no offense to confucius or anything but if i was about to embark on a journey of revenge i would simply not dig two graves

jesus christ, getting laid in your enemy's grave? that's some freak shit but honestly i kinda dig it

well yeah you dig it thats how you make a grave

A feel like this is a conversation between  Shakespeare's clowns, and I love that.

They don't seem eager for a sip of contamination smoothie!

The UK government has just unbanned fracking while everyone's distracted by the royal circus

Fuck personality tests. Who comes to your mind when I say "Michael"

i can't stand when ppl screenshot a marvel movie and zoom in 39583028x onto the equivalent of a smear frame and go "ThE vFx ArE bAd" bro you know there are real problems with marvel movies right

like remember when frozen first came out and people were complaining about the braid thing. literally an on-purpose animation cheat that also doesn't matter and that most people couldn't even SEE, even in the slowed down gif!!

fx companies are routinely ground into dust to make these movies and you're complaining that the fx teams didn't grind more on 0.02% of a single frame that nobody will ever look at

games too. ppl will pitch a fit if you can't see every pore on john callofduty's face and they'll praise games like tlou2 for having hyper-realistic rope physics or whatever without thinking for even a second about 1. what actually makes a game good, and 2. the brutal human cost of making a game with 100% true-to-life god tier super Xtreme realistic detail

Y'all have,,, NO idea how much I want a pizza rn. It is taking all of my willpower to save my money and not order one this instant to celebrate getting stuff done today

late-stage capitalism is i want pizza but congress won’t buy me one

wait I haven’t tried

I’m gonna call my congressman and see

Hmm… Ted Cruz isn’t answering. Still a coward, I see,

I’m gonna ask my governor now and tell him Cruz said it was out of his jurisdiction so he’ll feel all important. dude sued the city and is richer than god he can afford a pizza

HDGJDFHGJ SOMEONE PICKED UP,,, this is how it went:

Me: Hello, I would like to request an audience with Governor Abbott

Secretary: I’m sorry. I can relay a message and have him get back to you in a call or email.

Me: Okay, thanks! Due to some recent changes and current economic disparity in Texas, I’ve calculated that Gov. Abbott makes enough a year to buy over 10,000 pizzas, for example. As a display of his claims to make efforts towards rebuilding the middle class, all I ask is that he buy me one single pizza. 

Secretary: *incredulous laugh/scoff noise*

Me: That’s less than 0.0001% of his salary, not even taking his enormous wealth into consideration, and will affect my voting decision next election cycle. My paypal is https://www.paypal.me/quinintheclouds 

Secretary: …I’ll let him know.

Secretary: *Hangs up*

None of them bought me a pizza. Guess you could say they crust my dreams :((

pLOT TWIST THE SECRETARY SENT ME $15 FOR MAKING HER LAUGH AND CAUSE SHE HATES WORKING THERE,,, THE SUBJECT LINE SAID POLITICAL PIZZA

I scrolled away but had to come back and reblog.

This is amazing

As a person who freaks out about talking to my own family members, I am in awe of the fact that you actually did this

me too, but consider: I was really hungry

“Hmm… Ted Cruz isn’t answering. Still a coward, I see,” is the most powerful thing I’ve ever read.

guys it is NOT funny that the queen died because the IRA painted a tunnel on the side of a cliff and ran into it like it was a real tunnel and she tried to chase them and slammed into the cliff so hard she made a queen-shaped imprint and it is NOT okay to joke about it EVEN IF she made a really loud boing sound effect when she did it

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL

“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”

My mom learned it because she figured she’ll go deaf when she gets old

My family went holiday SCUBA diving once, and a couple of Deaf guys were in the group. I was really little and I spent most of the briefing overcome with the realization that while the rest of us were going to have regulators in our mouths and be underwater fairly soon, they were going to be able to do all the same stuff and keep talking.

The only reason some form of sign language is not a standard skill is ableism, as far as I can tell.

For anyone interested in learning, Bill Vicars has full lessons of ASL on youtube that were used in my college level classes. 

https://www.youtube.com/user/billvicars

and here’s the link to the website he puts in his videos:

https://www.lifeprint.com/

Update: you guys this is an amazing resource for learning asl. Bill Vicars is an incredible teacher. His videos are of him teaching a student in a classroom, using the learned vocabulary to have conversations.

Not only is the conversation format immersive and helpful for learning the grammar, but the students make common mistakes which he corrects, mistakes I wouldn’t have otherwise know I was making.

He also emphasizes learning ASL in the way it’s actually used by the Deaf community and not the rigid structure that some ASL teachers impose in their classrooms

His lesson plans include learning about the Deaf community, which is an important aspect of learning ASL. Knowing how to communicate in ASL without the knowledge of the culture behind it leaves out a lot of nuances and explanations for the way ASL is.

Lastly, his lessons are just a lot of fun to watch. He is patient, entertaining, and funny. This good natured enthusiasm is contagious and learning feels like a privilege and not a chore

And it’s all FREE. Seriously. If you’ve ever wanted to learn ASL

If it weren’t for the crocheted dog I’d have probably just thought she had a twin lol

I’m a little disturbed but also highly impressed

This woman has a power that should be feared

Didn’t realize what the title meant til i looked at the dog

It’s two different people!! There are two reflections in the glass behind them!!

You commented multiple variations of this, and I’m well and truly stunned that you seem to think the crochet version should have no reflection like some kind of knitted vampire. I’m at a total loss trying to make sense of your repeated insistence that having a reflection proves it’s actually another human. Do you know something we don’t? Should we be afraid?

@mautlin Those are two different ladies and two different dogs. The dogs fur marks are different and the ladies face types are different as well. It’s not the same lady. And if it really is the person who did the photoshop is truly amazing, look at how the arms touch in the middle. And look at the both of the dogs’ foreheads, the markings are different!

…what do you think this is supposed to be a photo of? The dogs have different fur because one dog is made out of yarn. The women have different faces because, again, one woman is made out of yarn. There is no photoshop involved, just a lot of yarn.

DEDICATION

I have to point out that the lady is wearing a knitted sweater and her crocheted doppelgänger is wearing a crocheted replica of her knitted sweater.

The woman in the picture is NOT actually the woman who did the crocheting. The artist who did the crocheting’s name is Liisa Hietanen. She did a BUNCH of these of people who lived in her home town, apparently, but she hasn’t done one of herself.

I love that the baby has visibly aged during the enormous span of time it would take to make one of these
