Thinking about when I worked at a shitty restaurant + one night it was just me + 3 other women on closing shift, so some guy came in the back and waved a knife around, presumably for money but I’m not actually certain, bc he was met with the bartender holding a much bigger knife, a tiny teenager wielding a cast iron pan, an elderly woman holding up a crockpot of clearly boiling water, and me, turning on the meat slicer with eye contact for maximum effect. He left, but the moral of the story is not girl power or whatever, it’s just. Why the fuck would you threaten a room full of underpaid and sleep-deprived blue-collar workers surrounded by lethal weapons.

Even ignoring the quantity of workers or weaponry, I think there’s something special about specifically

See, in the correct genre and the correct context these are all absolutely brilliant.

These could be Douglas Adams quotes.

Never ever be normal about fictional characters but please GOD be normal about the people who play them, I am begging you

#don’t treat fictional characters like they’re real people whose rights you need to defend#and absolutely DO NOT treat real people like they’re just characters for you to get weird about

NOT THE

one of my favorite books as a kid was this one on speculative zoology/evolution that I loved so much I borrowed it to the point my school had to chase me up on returning it several times. it influenced my early creature art and design and pushed me to delve into my own specbio (on dragons. no surprises there). I loved the informatic entries, all their little lore bits and ecological adaptations; the wild color palettes, their weird little shapes. it was called The New Dinosaurs, by Dougal Dixon.

there were two more books in the series that my school didn’t have, which is either a blessing or a curse, because the third book in the set is called Man After Man.

which contains this.

Didn't notice the GLARINGLY OBVIOUS change, and was instead desperately looking for the "had to do it to em" guy

God they're playing Christmas music at my job now I hate this I hate this I hate this, why is there a two month period at the end of the year where we're all chill about listening to bad harmonies from the 1970s on repeat from every loudspeaker in existence. This is cruel and unusual psychological warfare. And why's it always loudest in the FUCKING employee washroom. Where do I get to hide and cry

today a breathy jazzy Christmas song was playing in the washrooms and when the singer went "What could be better than Christmas?" A woman in one of the toilets yelled back, "Oh, shove it up your ass!" and she's my hero now

my friend took in a stray and she’s the cutest kitty ever but he named her oil so whenever he sends a picture of her me and my other friends look like we’re roleplaying as the US military

in our defense this is oil

female rage is always traditionally dainty feminine women with long hair covered in blood :// WHAT ABOUT THE BUTCHES. what about a butch cradling her broken nose while eyeing the camera with contempt. what about a butch with the bottom half of their face covered in blood and viscera. what about veins bulging out of their muscular neck arms and back and sorry I lost track of what I was talking about

a cool thing about tumblr is that when an absolute dog shit dud of a post shows up in my feed i know it's not because of some nebulous algorithm, it's someone's fault and i can find them immediately

Trying

I love this video so much. This cat, trying so hard to sip like a people. Desperate to sip like a people. Objectively incapable of sipping like a people.

This video contains more insight into how cats form a concept of humans than decades of lab research. A lot of cats are idiots, of course, but this one at least has made the connection that the Humans use the Front Paws for sippies.

And he has also identified the humans as One of Us because he’s actually taken the time to attempt to learn by example instead of the naive cat strat of: stick paw in or stick face in.

Anytime somebody tells you cats can’t really bond with humans (they just want food!), produce this video as evidence. Trusting the example of another species is just a beautiful, wonderful phenomenon. This is not classic conditioning.

Anyway, I love cats.

on the internet it's been harder for the US to lock in a pro-israel narrative among US citizens but watching news on the tv it's like an insane level of pro-israel propaganda, if you're in the US and getting news from mainstream TV channels it's an alternate reality. and all news channels not just fox news or whatever, CNN is just as bad

keep this in mind the next time the US government talks about banning a news outlet or social media app for "national security reasons"

the national security concern is them not controlling the narrative. look at the freakout over tiktok being "too pro palestine"
