My new hobby is being incredulous and dismissive towards YouTube video thumbnails and titles about food. Seen one like "is there a CORRECT way to make Scramble Eggs?" and I'm sat here thinking, uh, yeah, it's you making scrambled eggs to your liking and not burning it. This philosophy shit is easy. Get Plato on the phone NOW
"Funny," Prevtags let out a devious mrrow of laughter. "When the twittypets sought our aid, you refused them. You've protected TumblrClan's borders with diligence- or paranoia, rather." Her tail lashed with irritation and her pupils narrowed into vertical slits.
"And I protect the borders even now. I am your leader," Blogstar hissed. "I don't appreciate your tone. My word is the warrior code."
She pressed closer against his flank, fire spitting in her glare. "And yet when RedditClan falls, you welcome them with open paws."
"They're warriors. It's different."
"My mate was a twittypet, and he could have fought like any of your warriors! You let them all suffer while TumblrClan feasted!" Prevtags attempted a swipe at the leader, claws unsheathed and her fur standing on end.
She drew blood.
"You call this feasting...?" Blogstar's voice came out hollow. "This? Feasting? We're suffering as much as anyone."
Her tail twitched again, noticing how haggard her Clanmates seemed. Leafbare was taking a toll on them all, especially with the leader having been fully swayed by the honeytongued words of Emporiumclaw, the new and traitorous deputy.
"Very well. That may be true, but... there is blood on your paws, Blogstar. Pray to StarClan you can wash it away in time..."

gideon nav is a mermaid thats lived alone nearly her entire life and loves migrating across the oceans to meet a bunch of people in secret- shes already made permanent pit stops to the fourth, fifth, and sixth, but mainly likes traveling the distance because she cant have permanence when her friends are human and have school. harrowhark is the worlds most miserable fishermans daughter, kept only by the docks because her parents keep studying the grotesque mutations of fish in the area caused by Suspicious Magic Shit.
when harrow fails to light the docks one night when her parents go off fishing, she finds their bloated bodies on the shore and decides to drown herself. someone else is watching her.
now would be the absolute funniest time for tumblr to unban porn
hey writers if you want to make a metaphor for racism, please maybe remember that racism is literally based on nothing. Africans weren’t enslaved en masse because the Robo-Musa threatened to destroy the world, they were enslaved because it was economically rewarding and politically convenient. If at any point your allegory for racism includes “so <oppressed group> did this major catastrophe and” then you have not only missed the point but you are literally reinforcing the ideas that racism have let racism self-perpetuate (that e.g. black people are naturally dangerous and violent and must be contained or begrudgingly accepted by the Nice White People)
currently obsessed with a twitter account that has a bot set up to record their cat leaving and returning to their house
the best part is that the replies are a wave of sadness and depression whenever the cat leaves and then rejoicing when it comes back like the cat is some kind of messiah
frankly im on board with out new lord and savior Pepito. let the people rejoice in his presence as he is the messiah
Wait I realized this Twitter rate limiting thing happened literally the same day as the Reddit 3rd party app shut downs. Wonder how many of those users have come here today to this Luigi Wins By Doing Nothing Ass website
this shit's easy
I was gonna make a joke about how Victor has some fucking nerve calling them “friends” after what he pulled but honestly, given how Victor treats literally everyone else in his life, yeah no they are absolutely friends by Victor Frankenstein standards
“Oh my god you’re a writer? Can I read your stuff?”
Motherfucker 100% said “Kumbaya” are you kidding me right now Tamsyn—
OH. MY. GAH.
You know a tattoo is good when you reflexively wince in sympathy because your eyes are convinced that that arm actually got embroidered on.
Living alone leads to habits that you don’t realize are weird until you stay with someone else and have to suppress them.
I’m staying with family right now and I can’t just go “AUGH” like a peanuts character in the middle of the night just because I feel like it. I also can’t lick cooking utensils anymore because other people are gonna be eating that. And I can’t rant to my Swedish horse because I left that at home and also ranting to an inanimate object in the middle of the house would make me look insane.
I was talking to my aunt about this because she also lives alone and we agree that when you start living alone you need to start making more noises when you do things like grunting when you get up and yelling at annoying inanimate objects because you need to fill the space somehow. But when suddenly other people are around you’re now in the habit of whistling whenever you open a cabinet and people who have never lived alone don’t understand what you’re doing.
If you ever stay with somebody who lives alone for a few days and they start randomly doing squats in the middle of the kitchen and clicking their teeth or making noises at birds outside, just let them. Believe it or not those are methods of preserving sanity. Shaking the fridge and demanding it give you answers is a shield against the impeding darkness.
as a white girl dating an asian guy i don’t think we have that many cultural differences most of the time and then i stay over his house for a few days and while i am there i buy a small dresser that needs to be painted and ask to keep it in his parents garage until i move into my apartment and it kind of smells musty so i call my mom and ask her what i should do to get the smell out and she tells me baking soda or charcoal pellets but it should really be sanded but under No Circumstance should i do that at my boyfriends house because it is Disrespectful and so i hang up and go downstairs to tell my boyfriend we need to go to go get some baking soda and find his dad sanding down the dresser and telling me to go pick out some paint for it
absolutely losing it over the queens playing an entire first session and only afterwards realizing that pc death is an actual thing that can happen
like. the indignation 😂😂😂
I need UK journalists to not show 43 degrees is not beach weather like people are gonna die
Americans do not interact
Im Australian, and 43C is NOT beach weather. That is VERY hot, even for us, but for the UK its apocalyptic. At 43C you should not even be going outside if you can help it, treating it like beach weather is a one way ticket to heatstroke.
I agree with not going outside for long periods of time but you will have to plan something to reduce the heat within your households. Especially if your house is designed to retain heat
Fans pointed at open windows will pull out hot air and allow it to circulate - don't put them IN the window, leave some room by the side for extra air to get drawn in.
If you can't afford cold packs (and if you can, stock up on some NOW), get some ziplock bags and freeze them, with wet washcloths or ripped up towel inside. You want them to be ready in the freezer when you need them. Wrap them in a tea towel and put them on your wrists and ankles.
A big bowl of ice water in front of a fan will blow cold air into the room and make a massive difference. Again, if you don't have ice cube trays get some and freeze them *now*, don't wait until you're already in trouble (although I am melting at quarter past nine but my thermoregulation is bollocks so I don't know if that's the heat or just the me). If you can't afford to get any, clean out empty yoghurt pots or Tupperware or whatever you have that can hold water. Even if you end up with a giant ice cube from a lunchbox, it'll help.
Even just opening two windows at a crack will allow some air circulation - I sometimes prop open my bedroom door and leave the bathroom door open, both windows are locked at a crack because of the cats but it creates a nice little line of wind along the landing.
If you're someone who needs something on them to sleep, take your duvet out of the cover and just use the cover.
Remember that water acts as a lens - you do NOT want to wear a wet t shirt in the burning sun. I did this when I was 8 and if I tan on my back you can still see the scars.
Read the instructions for sunscreen carefully, and use the highest spf you can find. Reapply as per the instructions. If you get burned, Malibu do an amazing aloe-based spray on after sun, I got mine from Savers for 3 quid and it lasts ages. I keep it and any other after sun in the fridge, which means it's incredibly lovely to put on. Aloe is magic for burns so definitely gravitate towards that if you can. My son got badly burned (he's ginger, he went to an outdoor pool and they forgot to give him sunscreen) and he's had 2 helpings of it and you wouldn't believe how much better he is (he couldn't even really wear a shirt).
Make sure your pets have plenty of fresh cold water to drink, and if they usually have dry food consider giving them some wet food for one of their meals (cats are notoriously not always great drinkers but wet food will get them some liquid). Keep the curtains and/or blinds closed in south-facing rooms. I have blackout curtains in the front room and the front bedroom (my son's) and they make a MASSIVE difference to the heat. Make sure pets have access to these cooler spaces if you can create them.
Keep oven/hob use to a minimum if you can. I like making a massive pot of something that can be reheated in the microwave if necessary - the oven especially adds a lot of heat. Or get some wraps and ham and cheese and eat those.
Cordial or fruit juice can be better than water if you're sweating a lot. Cordial is cheap as chips. Salty snacks are also good.
Go to Iceland and buy a billion lolly ices. It's especially a good way to make sure kids stay hydrated.
I realize op asked for Americans not to interact, and whether or not they're being cheeky, I feel obligated to reblog this to save lives.
That temperature is absolutely murder, even moreso with humidity.
Please, be safe and stay hydrated!
For reference, 43 degrees celsius is roughly equivalent to 109.4 degrees fahrenheit. That’s bad.
This is nearly DOUBLE the typical average temperature of the UK. I don't care if you grew up in Satan's asshole, if you woke up one day and it was twice as hot as it usually is, you're gonna have a bad fucking time. The infrastructure is not built for 40+ degrees, and with the government doing... The thing it's doing, I doubt they're gonna even bother to help people, so people need to see things like this post to be able to help each other instead.
Heads up UK folks, we're looking at hitting 40°C again in about two weeks. Now's a great time to prepare however you can, figure out what you can do to make things more bearable
Putting a wet tea towel in the freezer for 20 minutes (in a freezer bag so it didn't stick to anything) then tying it to my wrists/ankles helped a lot last year, so I'll share this post in the run up in case it helps anyone else
Keep an eye out for people struggling, including yourself
If you've got a cold pack of some kind, the fastest way to cool down is to put those wherever arteries run close to the skin. Wrists and ankles are good, so is the back of your neck, the small of your back (along the spine), and the backs of your knees.
If you are opening windows, open one on the shaded side and one on the sunny side, if you have that option; it will give a cross breeze. If you can open one on the shaded side and one on the side not in direct sun, even better.
I live in San Antonio. 43° is fucking MURDER. 43° is when they open government building so people don't fucking die.
Stay safe. Drink water. Good luck.
Bring back posers as a term please I'm begging if ONE MORE GODDAMN 16 YEAR OLD ASKS WHERE I BOUGHT MY CLOTHES I'M GONNA LOSE. MY FUCKING. MIND.
I HAVEN'T PAID FOR SHIT SINCE 2020 BITCH THESE SPIKES ARE THE BROKEN OFF TINES OF A FORK THE THREAD IS DENTAL FLOSS FROM A PAIR OF JEANS I TOOK APART TO USE THE DENIM TO MAKE PATCHES YEAH NO SHIT I SMELL LIKE SILVER SPRAY PAINT. I'VE HAD THE SAME PAIR OF COMBAT BOOTS FOR SIX FUCKIN YEARS NOW. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY LAYERS OF PAINT AND NAIL POLISH ARE ON THEM. MY WHEELCHAIR GLOVES ARE MORE THREAD THAN LEATHER ATP BUT WHO GIVES A FUCK. THEY'RE STILL FUNCTIONAL.
"but all I can afford is clothes from SheIn and Amazon and I wanna have the punk style"
BITCH STEAL THE CLOTHES. GO TO GOODWILL. YOU KNOW WHAT WE CALL HAVING THE "STYLE" IS BUT NOT THE MINDSET???
A FUCKING POSER
And no I'm not gatekeeping. Anyone anywhere can be punk. BUT BUYING A PRE-PATCHED DENIM JACKET ON AMAZON DOES NOT A PUNK MAKE. BURN YOUR OWN CD'S, PIRATE MOVIES, GO TO PROTESTS, MAKE POSITIVE CHANGE, FORM COMMUNITY IN SOLIDARITY AGAINST OPPRESSIVE SYSTEMS. KILL THE NAZIS INFECTING PUNK COMMUNITIES LIKE A ROTTING BRANCH GETS CUT FROM THE TREE
WHERE'S YOUR FUCKING RAGE??? WHERE'S YOUR FUCKING WEIRDNESS??? WHERE'S YOUR REFUSAL TO FIT INTO THE MAIN STREAM???? WHERE'S YOUR OBSESSION WITH A SKA PUNK BAND FROM THE EARLY 2000'S?!
I saw a TikTok of a person who said they were punk but then proceeded to go on a tirade about not liking the bus because gross homeless people ride the bus
HOW DOES THE BOOT TASTE MOTHERFUCKER
I stg if one more cishet rich girl at my school asks me where i bought my patch pants I’m gonna scream.
