European: Americans will be like I’m going to watch a whore movie and eat a hamburger slathered in lard

Americans: it’s true I do do this.

American: British people will be like alright I’m off to eat some wheezy bangers (beans and bread out of a can)

Brit: I’ve seen this reblogged by several people I normally trust so: How mocking British cuisine and dialect has a long classist history and how it became frighteningly normalized on an American (uniquely cruel, uniquely ignorant) internet: a thread. 1/?

Let's for a moment forget the obvious answer of where the pain would be in like, everywhere but the leg.

Actually, you will most certainly feel the pain IN THE LEG long after it is gone and the stump of your thigh heals. Though I doubt OP knew that phantom pains were a thing or did not at least have them in mind at the time they made this post.

Severed limbs hurt for years after amputation. Or so I've heard.

Can you imagine a pain or an itch that can not be treated because the injury no longer exists?

why the hell are you here

isnt it obvious? she's here to let everyone know some interesting details about amputations. so lets all be respectful and listen to what she has to say ok?

oh yeah you're right, my bad

Years on the internet and somehow i still click on comments sections with the insanely optimistic idea that I'll learn something new instead of being subjected to the dumbest motherfuckers online typing like their sole purpose in life is to make me want to end mine

"Wow, what an interesting post! I want to see what sort of fascinating discourse is being generated by the idea posited by the original poster" <- Me, operating under levels of delusion yet unexplained by modern science

“No writing is wasted. Did you know that sourdough from San Francisco is leavened partly by a bacteria called lactobacillus sanfrancisensis? It is native to the soil there, and does not do well elsewhere. But any kitchen can become an ecosystem. If you bake a lot, your kitchen will become a happy home to wild yeasts, and all your bread will taste better. Even a failed loaf is not wasted. Likewise, cheese makers wash the dairy floor with whey. Tomato gardeners compost with rotten tomatoes. No writing is wasted: the words you can’t put in your book can wash the floor, live in the soil, lurk around in the air. They will make the next words better.”

So, so very much this.

the way people on here talk about the porn ban makes me completely fucking insane honestly.

  • yes I would love a return to the old ways.
  • no that isn't something staff have control over, it's a systemic issue with puritanical groups intentionally strangling online infrastructure to make adult content impossible to platform.
  • no that doesn't mean the ban was value neutral and I will fucking kill you with my mind if you start going on about how 'it just meant all the annoying people left'
  • sex workers left, and so did the high spending customers who made tumblr a viable platform for a lot of other small creators
  • a lot of sex educators and queer outreach groups also left, and nobody seems to remember that they were a huge part of the landscape here
  • you have to take the eradication of sexual content from online spaces seriously as an issue that affects more than whether you personally can post catgirl balls on one specific platform
  • there is no 'good social media' in 2023 that will ever be equipped to solve this problem until the financial/cultural issue is addressed. decentralisation is your best bet. sorry.

Teen!Lwj not knowing what to do with his feelings for Wwx is my absolute favorite thing to draw 💕

[I powered through an art block and I managed to finish this stupid comic that has been in my drafts for weeks 🥹 there are several more that will probably never be completed though]

Not being cringey won't save you from genocide. The people killing us won't suddenly stop if we all behave like "good upstanding citizens" and the quicker you realise this the quicker you'll be able to make actual meaningful changes. So what if something a trans person did is "bad optics" we're human beings who are flawed and still deserve rights not a product to be sold to our oppressors.

begging people to understand that there's a difference between getting into handicrafts as a hobby and being forced to engage in constant busywork for the sake of persistence. yes I'm sure you enjoy weaving. im not sure you'd enjoy it if it was all you did every day to keep a family of fourteen clothed while they work fields. and I'm sure they'd enjoy gardening in their free time too, but after a few years of ploughing stones under the sun, they'd probably also wish they could just buy stuff from a store. cottagecore fantasies aren't reality, and just because peasants had a better class position than you do doesn't mean their lives were better than yours are now.

mindfuck of the day

the alphabet has been saying “hi” to you all these years. and i bet you didnt even say it back once you piece of shit

Why did you have to draw in the O and P

to distract everyone from the W
