which one of u was going to tell me that tea tastes different if u put it in hot water?

y- you were putting it in cold water?????

Radish. Answer the question radish.

yeah??? i thought for like. 5 years that ppl just put it in hot water 2 speed up the tea-ification process didn’t realize there was an actual reason

You dont have the patience to microwave water for 3 minutes???

[ID: Tags reading “u think i have the patience to boil water wtf ?????” /End ID]

why are you. putting it in the microwave to boil it

Do you think I have the patience to boil water on the stove

Its takes less than a minute

Bestie is ur stovetop powered by the fucking sun

How long does it take you to boil a cup of water on the stove

Like seven minutes

Just stick the mug on top of the stove on medium heat n it boils in like two minutes… less than that is u use a saucepan…

Crying you’re putting the whole mug on the stove ???? On medium heat???? Ur stove is enchanted

Every single person in this post is a fucking lunatic

Yet another post that reads like four shakespeare characters who come out in the middle of the play to talk about something completely unrelated for comic relief

(Enter RADISHN’T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

RADISHN’T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

RADISHN’T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

Without the guide of others I assumed

That heat was merely added for the sake

Of expediting this solution’s brewing!

Half a decade I have spent, or more,

Not questioning this worldview I had made.

In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

Might have a patience of sufficient stock

To wait until a pot of water boils.

FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

The microwave will beep when it is done!

CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

That I have not the patience, like our Root,

To boil upon the stove our favour’d drink?

CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

FROG: On what plate?

Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

Of boiling but a single cup alone?

FROG: In minutes?

CATS'N: Yes!

FROG: I counted seven, once.

CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

If on a middle heat you place the cup

You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

Or even less, if you should have a pot.

FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

You place upon the iron stove a mug?

A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

How do these flames, though medium in height,

Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

KING: Ev'ry single person in this group must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.

People keep posting ‘what’s REALLY in your food’ articles like I’m gonna stop eating whatever it’s about lmao Listen, death is coming. Death is coming. Pass me a hot dog.

so two trucks by lemon demon has a bpm of 114…

Dove chocolate and Dove soap are two different companies who havent sued each other because they have different trademarks lol

Damn and I really all this time just thought dove (the soap people) had a meeting one day and were just like “…. we might fuck around and make some chocolate”

Finding out that Dove Soap and Dove Chocolates are different companies has the exact same energy as finding out that Michelin Tires and the Michelin Star Rating System (which rates the finest restaurants in the world) are actually the same company.

No longer taking questions

Where were you taking them

I was taking them home and it’s me so I could sit in my floor and sprawl them out in front of me and answer them. Been doing this since ‘96 but I decided to stop just this morning

Thanks for taking mine anyways

FUCK

i fukcing hate this show

This is the best scene in the entirety of IZ imo it’s literally perfect

according to the staff commentary for this episode, the script actually called for heavy traffic to be rushing past Dib and Zim in this scene, which is why they’re shouting at each other, and you can even still sort of hear the sound effects but then, for whatever reason, in the finished episode they just forgot the cars

*walks past a mirror*

*walks back*

you got kik?

seems that Chrome has around 60-65% market share, so it’s not totally dominating the market yet but it’s worrying that we’re basically reliant on Apple and Microsoft to hold the line.

Does Firefox not count for anything?

about 10% and falling, but perhaps that can change, I just don’t see how.

Chrome edging towards 70% on desktop, Microsoft has thrown in the towel, Safari obviously rules iOS, Firefox exists only as insurance for Chrome.

Please, please I’m begging you, use firefox.

PLEASE install firefox as a mobile browser and then run adblock on your mobile browser it’s so good I promise.

Look.

Look.

I know I’m a total grind about open source stuff but browsers are the PERFECT place to learn to love open source software and for so long FireFox was a major part of the browser market and sometimes if you want to see what kind of fuckery google is up to it helps to see the kinds of things they block in firefox and just

There’s an organization that makes free, excellent, safe software that doesn’t collect and market your data but for some reason two thirds of the world uses a google product and most of the leftover population uses apple and just

I promise, firefox is so good - the extensions are incredible look - I can use lightbeam to see what sites I use and how they connect to other sites (bottom right should give you an idea how much time I spend on tumblr)

or I can look at ublock origin and see that it’s blocked over 2 million requests since I installed it or I can run the facebook container extension and stop facebook from tracking me and you know what I bet you can do a lot of that on chrome too but you’re doing that while chrome itself is tracking you and gobbling up your activity for google and

firefox is so fuckin great and it’s such a great ambassador for other open source projects please be a big old fuckin nerd with me and use firefox and run a bunch of funky extensions and customize the fuck out of your web experience.

Wanna be a hacker? Firefox.

Wanna use instagram on desktop? Firefox.

Wanna be a killer researcher? Firefox.

Wanna properly credit artists? Firefox.

Wanna read a whole shitload of books? Firefox.

Wanna make video responses to shitlord youtubers?

Wanna shoot cat lasers at bugs?

Wanna use youtube as a music streaming service?

FIREFOX.

I just love firefox okay.

im probably gonna make an actual post about this tommorrow but as some of u know, my mom told me not to come back to my house. I don't know when or if I will be allowed to come back, much less if I will, but in the meantime me staying with my partner means extra expenses that we are trying to work out

if you have a phonecall you need to get done, such as scheduling an appointment, getting info you have to call for, or anything else you are procrastinating, I'll do it for a flat $10! my dms are open if you want to do this, and i won't ever need anymore personal info than your first and last name and a date of birth.

alternatively, if you don't need a phonecall but you want to help while im figuring out the logistics of jobs and getting my stuff, my PayPal is here and any little bit counts. a lot of my stuff is still at my mom's house and during the worst of her binge drinking, I lost my foodstamps, which i am reapplying for as soon as possible.

you don't have to reblog this, by the way! thank you all for supporting me while i start off the new year hopefully, for the better.

date a girl who says yes when u ask her out

Screen cap of a Facebook post, reading:

Something ironic that I’ve noticed from being in both autistic mom groups and NT mom groups. Let’s pretend a child cries every time they have to be buckled in the car seat..

NT mom group: “tell them to deal with it, it’s for their safety” “ignore the outbursts, they’ll get used to it” “maybe the straps are too tight? If not, and nothing seems to be wrong with the seat, let them cry it out, safety is most important.” “Sometimes, you just gotta deal with it, hugs mama, sorry this is happening.”

Autistic mom group: “is your child verbal enough to express or show why they’re in distress?” “is the fabric of the car seat scratchy?” “Are the windows tinted? If not the sun may hurt.” “Maybe he wants someone to hold his hand, can you reach back and hold it maybe? anxiety is a real bitch” “transitions can be hard, especially on little humans, maybe give advance notice that you will be leaving in the car at x time?” “Obviously something has him distressed, does he have a toy he’s attached too and can hold?”

And they say autistics do not experience empathy.

This is extremely fucking true. Our friends are always marveling at how attentive we are to what our toddler is trying to communicate. I’m like… that’s… how you communicate with someone who you don’t share enough language with… that’s how you communicate with someone who’s ~~“”“"nonverbal”“”“”“~~~

the intersection of ageism and ableism is awful, and it really shows up squared in the way that abled adults just assume that there’s no way to communicate with neurodiverse kids. and babies, tbh, who they think of in a similar way.

the mandalorian? isn’t that bitch the powerhouse of the cell?

No that’s the mitochondria. The mandalorian is that screaming plant baby from Harry Potter.

no you’re thinking of mandragora. a mandalorian is a kind of string instrument in the lute family

no, that’s a mandolin. a mandalorian is a kind of citrus fruit

that’s a mandarin. a mandalorian is the lower jawbone.

No, you’re thinking of a mandible. A mandalorian is a fractal which shows up in complex dynamics

No, that’s a mandelbrot. A mandalorian is a sort of lacy veil.

No, you're thinking of a mantilla. A mandalorian is something you are required to do.

No, that’s a mandate.  A mandalorian is “butter” in Spanish.  

No, you’re thinking of mantequilla! A mandalorian is actually a vulture-like Pokémon from Generation 5.

so please, please reblog. this could actually save a life.

keep yourselves safe!

Of Power and Time, Mary Oliver / Liana Finck for the New Yorker

Turkey Christmas dinner with a side of revolution.

There are a lot of times I feel like just…flipping the vegan script.

It’s not ‘polyester’ it’s plastic

It’s not ‘vegan leather’ it’s plastic

Its not ‘faux fur’ it’s plastic

Plastic is a pollutant and causes far more damage to the environment both now and in the future than leather or wool.

Please stop telling me that the Plastic Lyfe is the only life, it is not. My leather shoes will last a decade where pleather is lucky to last 12 months. Leather (and wool) decompose and are renewable. Plastic is neither of those.

THANK YOUUUUUUU~

A single wash cycle of plastic-based fiber (polyester, poly fleece, faux fur) may release 700,000 pieces of microplastic into our waters. Nasty stuff.

aw dangit

Wool is the most environmentally friendly fabric despite being an animal product.

Using wool isnt even harming sheep 

Sheep need to be sheered or else it will cause serious problems. It’s a mutual relationship, we help sheep get rid of the pesky wool and it gives us a very useful material.

This has been a Burning Hot Take™

Also chickens will lay eggs no matter what!! That’s literally what chickens do!!! You are not eating “chick embryos”!!! If you’re worried about supporting the corporate mass farming industry, buy from a local free-range chicken owner! Almost anywhere has farmer’s markets!

This is the part where we talk about how the demand for agave nectar as an alternative to honey is destroying the habitat of the endangered long-nosed bat, which lives on agave.

Not to mention that bees sometimes make too much honey anyways so eating some of what they make, while still leaving plenty for them, helps their hive as well as us. A lot of vegans I’ve met dont really think about mutually beneficial relationships. We eat honey/bees dont over fill their hive. We sheer sheep (and dock their tails so feces doesn’t get stuck and cause parasites)/ we get comfy clothes. So on and so forth.

sorry guys but my cat is going to die soon if he doesn't get some help

hey i know its christmas eve but my dad's cat/my old cat has been really sick and we dont know what's wrong with him and my dad is really poor and low on income right now. so am i and he was trying to help me out of a situation where i wont be able to pay rent but he cant right now and now this

his cat suka is only 7 and he has been trying to treat the problem on his own because he cant afford the vet but i really dont want him to die because he isnt getting any better. he said the animal hospital which is the only thing open or around him that he knows of requires a deposit of 300 before they even try to treat him. he really needs help.

anything anyone can spare will go to saving my cats life. please please reblog. this is heartbreaking to have happening especially around christmas. i dont have a good family relationship but i really don't want my cat to die just because my dad cant afford it.

my paypal is paypal.me/micahsage or divynem@gmail.com and my cashapp is $catfiend and you can ask for my venmo

the pictures are him before and then him right now, and an update on his condition. Please reblog.

Donations have stopped but they need 110 to treat on top of the deposit we paid for the consultation plus my dad's transportation and they said they may have to put him down if we dont end up having the funds for a possible surgery so please boost still I'm scared aw

@soloveitchik would you be willing to boost?

I guess the high cost of the next appointment is because they seem to think he will need surgery so it's considered an upfront payment please keep reblogging because surgery is expensive please boost this is definitely not an old post
