So I ended up with free time at the end of my first class today, so I was like "do yall wanna see a vintage meme?" and turned on "what does the fox say". Expected like. A laugh from the kids, or even just a "wtf is this mx?" which is. A reasonable reaction to What Does The Fox Say.

But instead of a reasonable reaction. all of my students watched the first 60 seconds with jaws agape. And then this one kids turns to me like the fucking eye of Sauron and literally goes:

My husband told me I also should share the next part of this story, where I, feebly trying to defend my honor against a child, said, "No, this video was just big when I was in college!" and he scoffed, rolled his eyes, and absolutely obliterated me by saying, "So did you go to furry college?"

To everyone pointing out my icon: do I have a fursona? Yes. Does that make me a furry? Almost definitely. Do you admit that to a 12 year old who has just accused you of being a furry, in front of 23 other 12 year olds, with 25 instructional days left in the year? Absolutely THE FUCK not!!!

So like. What should people even do with Mt. Rushmore in a good scenario. Obviously it's hideous and awful as a symbol of oppression and colonization but do we like, blow it up? The damage has been done to the mountain, it's not like we can put it back. Carve over it? Make a new monument? Let nature reclaim those awful men slowly with time? Actually go through with blowing it up and just dealing with the mountain however it is? All options just seem like a logistic nightmare.

As of 2020, two Lakota leaders stated they wanted the faces to be removed from the mountain without blowing them up, so as to minimize further damage to Six Grandfathers. Some Lakota activists want to turn the site into something focused on the oppression indigenous Americans face, cf. the Holocaust Museum.

someone in my tags just called shadow the hedgehog "2008 edgy" and idk how to tell you this but he's 2001 edgy and perhaps helped create 2008 edgy along with mcr and roxas

There was a young man from Peru

Whose limericks stopped at line two

There once was a man from Verdun

There once was a man from the sticks Whose limericks stopped at line six. They were fine till line five Then they took quite a dive — But the problem is easy to fix If you just ignore the last line, it doesn't even follow the rhyme scheme oh god I've really lost control of this thing I'm so sorry...

There once was a man

From Cork who got limericks

And haiku confused.

There once was a man from the sticks

Who liked to compose limericks

But he failed at the sport

Because he wrote them too short

There once was a man from Japan

Whose limericks just wouldn't scan

When asked why this was

He answered, "Because

Scenario: You are watching this puppet show, and then after the song is over, the puppeteer smiles at you as if to thank you for your support, then her and the wooden mouse depart in opposite directions.

If this thought hadn’t crossed anyone’s mind watching this already, re-watch it taking into consideration that gravity exerts an unpredictable chaos on dangling objects, that the puppet’s own wobbliness is most of the movement we see here and this woman simply has that flawless of a feel for how physics will continue moving the limbs at the slightest single twitch of her finger. This is a real deal fucking puppeteer no matter what her background or how long she’s been doing it. That wooden mouse is an appendage of this woman’s soul.

This is my first time hearing Despacito and it was not sad.

I had to keep watching
