Wait a hot second does the internet not know about human squeeze machines, they are basically exactly this but safe for humans, they are used for deep pressure therapy for people who find it grounding. Also sometimes called a hug machine they are a set of large foam rollers that you squeeze in-between and the tension on the rollers is enough to squish you a bit

holy shit

This is an invention of Dr. Temple Grandin's! She came up with it after seeing cattle in squeeze chutes that were intended to calm them down, and (correctly) deduced that it would help her self-regulate as an Autistic person without the sensory and emotional overload that can come with hugging a human being.

And ngl, I want one.

Ah, sorry. Excuse me. My cat needs to take a nap on your dash a moment. Just step over him.

the curse of being on this website is knowing that shit like cottagecore and dark academia and the obsession with mushrooms and whatnot started on this godforsaken platform and not tiktok

the mushroom thing started with a fucking shitpost where it ends with "you cannot kill me in a way that matters" "im not fucking scared of you!"

"op what does this mean" "decay is an extant form of life"

I KID YOU NOT

"Reblog now cuz im going to make it unrebloggable in 24 hours" i do not care to give you clout. I will steal your post if it was truly funny and i needed it on my blog but im afraid it simply wasnt that good and people are only "investing" because youre giving them fomo. Sad!

It's giving "share this with 10 friends or a serial killer will be under your bed tonight" 2009 chain email but even lamer

Oh, this gave me chills. Art can be such a powerful way to make a point in ways to people that otherwise might not be reached.

Yeah, so this was posted by “Change the Ref” which means this was created by the parents of Joaquin Oliver, who died during the Parkland shooting. Since then, they have done many powerful, heart wrenching pieces like this. They tricked NRA members into giving a graduation speech in front of empty chairs, each chair representing a child lost to gun violence. They used AI to make a video of their own dead son talking about how he died of gun violence. Joaquin once wrote an essay for school regarding gun violence and they hand delivered that essay to an NRA endorsed politician. They made 3D printed statues of Joaquin as well.

I have a lot of respect for what they do, but their raw grief and anger is clear in every single piece. I can’t imagine what they’re going through, but I hope they are able to find peace someday…
