I do and it drives me nuts.

human bodies make noise when they are operating, this is why you can hear seashells make 'sea' noises when you hold them up to your ear. it's actually you noises that you are hearing.

Edit via re-reblog because you can’t edit reblogs if your the op of the poll:

It’s more electeonic that I assume my me to sound.

Also, it is not my tinnitus. That has a very specific ringing that this isn’t.

I would have hobbies. But fuck no I would not work.

I’ve had this conversation so many times with my dad. I love being a homebody and playing sims all day in my room. Whereas my dad was off work for two weeks due to an injury and worries he’ll be as bored as he was these two weeks when he’s due to retire.

the r/curatedtumblr -> tumblr migration is so funny to me. it's like going to the zoo and enjoying it so much you climb into the enclosure to live with the monkeys

this reply evokes such an incredible image in the mind’s eye

u don't like kitty and puppy? 🐈 meow? 🐕 bark?

Beyond parody that conservatives see a study saying "perhaps we should provide animal companionship to college kids?" and immediately respond with "NOOO PUNISH THEM! HURT THEM! SLAP THEM!"

Their whole ideology is built on normalized cruelty to the point that having cats give college kids some semblance of companionship and affection seems like a radical act that they cannot abide. Like, jesus christ. If you saw a kid asking their parents for a pet and the parents said they should get a slap instead so they don't turn into a "beta", you would not think that's okay or normal. You'd probably recognize pretty quickly that that is abuse and you'd probably call CPS on those parents if you could.

The "I want to hurt people, especially vulnerable people" side of the political spectrum

Republicans claim to be tough on crime. But Republicans also balked at a study that showed that giving prisoners cats greatly reduced recidivism.

Republicans whined that prisoners were being rewarded, while ignoring that many of these men were given companionship and responsibility. According to one man in the study (and I'm paraphrasing), "I can't do anything bad to increase my sentence. I need to keep my nose clean so I can provide my cat with a good home. If I get arrested, they'll take him away and he not end up with a family who loves him." Prisoners were avoiding crimes for their cats, but Republicans considered cats a reward instead.

They want people to suffer.

girl I would kill myself if I did that lol

reading harry potter actively makes you less literate

j why did you censor the name of the scottish play

I think doing that is way funnier than saying the Scottish play, and I’m not going to risk actually saying the name and having something bad happen

i just realized despite me making fun of you for saying m*cbeth, i refused to say it myself. i am fucked up

even I, the op, flinched while writing it in the notes 😔

All the world's a stage, catgirlforeskin.

while the entire Scottish play exchange is hilarious can I talk for one second about how we should be kind to people that don’t know something???

Many films, songs, books, plays, and other media reference other media without telling you that’s what they’re doing and if you don’t ever read/see/research to learn what it’s originally from how would you know and can you really be blamed or be “less literate” for not knowing?

In Beauty and the Beast, Gaston sings “screw your courage to the sticking place” during the Kill the Beast song. For YEARS this is what I knew the quote from and just through of it as a Beauty and the Beast quote.

It was not until many years later when I read saw M*cbeth that I realized Beauty and the Beast was quoting Shakespeare. 

Now was I just stupid and illiterate the first 17 years of my life for not knowing this? Should I have killed myself for thinking that was an original quote?

I sure fucking hope not. 

I will add that a lot of womens denim is "softer" and more elastic for the purpose of making them have a tight body-con fit whereas mens pants are tailored and meant to drape and fit. Small pockets mean less fabric and reflect that skin tight fit of the pant. Essentially the sexualization of women also plays a role in the crappy quality women are sold.

This is the shit I mean when I say Westerners think there is a void between the Rhine and the Euphrates.

A lot of people just don't understand that the Soviet Union and modern Russia are not the exact same piece of land, so they hear that Chernobyl was in the SU and think it was in Russia.

the two were interchangeable for the average person on the street right up till the collapse, and they still are for a lot of people. Ask 100 people who the space race was between most of them will say the US and Russia. That said this is hilarious because it's Time magazine and a publication as allegedly prestigious as they are should know way better than this.
