Just stumbled upon this homophobic ad from a Christian Church on Facebook and the way it unintentionally slayed—

[id: the ad has a crimson background with a streak of white slashing from top right to near mid-left revealing a shadow of a falling angel careening towards a darkened bottom left corner. This is framed by rigid rainbow pillars grouped at the top left and bottom right without a regularity of height, width, or shading. The rainbow is missing red possibly because the background is crimson and includes magenta. The bottom right has a reverse rainbow with purple first but is not harmonious in that it goes purple to magenta, light blue to dark blue, teal to green, yellow to light orange, red orange to orange. The white or white-outlined text is stacked around the streak of white light. Text reads: It was, pride, that changed, that changed, that changed, angels, angels, angels, into devils. The first repeated words have a fade out effect as they touch the white streak from the left side, while the second set has a fade on effect as the text emerges from the right. The words pride and devils are in all-caps and hollowed out.] /end id

Only good response.

I just remembered I forgot to water the seedlings in the greenhouse so I went back outside, and I was too lazy to look for the small watering can for seedlings at this hour so I just knelt down near the fish tank and took some water in my cupped hands and started tossing it towards the seedling tray on the table behind me

—only the fish are starting to be very friendly by now, as soon as they see me they come wriggling happily to say hi and check if I have a little insect or some other snack to give them, and suddenly I found myself accidentally catching a friendly little fish in my cupped hands and throwing it in the air behind me. I literally realised what I was doing as I was doing it

I have bad reflexes usually but this time I jumped up and flailed around desperately and managed to catch the little guy mid-flight!!!!

The fish was very confused but unharmed 😭

(sorry for the poor stick drawings, I felt I could not adequately convey our mutual jolt of surprise and terror with words)

Nothing makes your native language feel foreign like having speakers of another language look at it a bit too closely in the way you do when words are new & intriguing entities instead of transparent conveyors of meaning. It’s delightful. I saw someone explain that rendez-vous is the 2nd person imperative of the French verb “se rendre” = to go (somewhere) and “dépareillé” (mismatched) comes from the word ‘pareil’ (same) so rendez-vous is just “you go (there)” and our word for mismatched is just “unsamed” and as a French speaker it was so destabilising. I had never looked at the word dépareillé and thought ‘unsamed’ in my life, it felt dignified and whole until you poked it. My English speaking cousin asked me what was our word for memo and I said “pense-bête” and he translated “think-dumb? we say memorandum and you say think-dumb?” and I was like nooo stop doing this

the ninth doctor was lowkey so under appreciated. he was the perfect combination of rascal (mostly) benevolent god and slut

imo he was the most considerate doctor, who was the most aware of his power and the people he was capable of hurting. he was cynical and moody and war worn but he cared so deeply. he loved knowing he’d lose. he kissed a servant girl on the forehead that sacrificed herself who no one would remember except for him and rose. and at the same time a right bastard <3

The contrast between Nine's absolute glee in, "Everybody lives, Rose! Just this once, everybody lives!" and the cold self-recognition of loathing in his "Only a killer would know that" dinner with the Slitheen leader. Eccleston was so good.

forever my doctor.

So the thing is, I think that maybe I might be having feelings. Like weird, weird feelings for...pretzels.

Pretzels? Okay. Well, they're right here...when you want them.

TikTok is currently trying to make their own goncharov called zepotha.

So far for zepotha I’ve already seen 5 different plots and like 25 different characters. They can’t seem agree on scenes and everyone is just making up their own shit.

Goncharov started as a joke but ended up with a poster, a cast, memes, a wiki page, letterbox reviews, fanfics, cosplays, a over 40 page (last time I checked at least) google document with info and scenes about the movie, a soundtrack and even Martin Scorsese himself confirming he made this movie.

They’ll never be able to beat the masterpiece that is goncharov 1973.

This is what happens when you say, "no, but" rather than, "yes, and."

PSA: *Beware* AI-generated fungi guidebooks!!

…Not a phrase I imagined myself typing today. But, via @heyMAKWA on Twitter:

“i'm not going to link any of them here, for a variety of reasons, but please be aware of what is probably the deadliest AI scam i've ever heard of:

“plant and fungi foraging guide books. the authors are invented, their credentials are invented, and their species IDs will kill you.”

…So PLEASE be careful if you run across anything of this kind.

(ETA: Corrected egregious typo in the title. Apologies, as I was [a] in bed [b] typing hurriedly and one-handed on the iPad, and [c] I think its native keyboard may need recalibration, but also [d] I was upset about what I was having to post, because seriously, WTF?!!)

This really does say it all.

She is the poem - June Bates

i am saying this without any condescension and entirely from affection and concern (please read as the advice of a kind older sister): please be careful when getting into candlemaking

tiktok has a few videos going around about just picking random glasses/ceramics from thrift stores and filling them with wax to make your own candles, which seems darling! and so thrifty! and such a good way to reuse! however, not all glass is safe for candles! if you want a really great overview/guide on why this is and how to pick safe glass, this article is a great resource. nobody wants their beautiful arts and crafts project to explode into shards of glass and liquid wax. that's no fun for anyone.

second of all, PLEASE be careful of additions/decorations, especially dried plants. i know it's very #aesthetic to add in dried flowers or to cover the outside of a free-standing candle with dried flowers, but that means adding flammable material to wax and then setting it on fire. depending on how much you use/where it's located, you could make an inferno without even meaning to. a friend of mine decorated candles with her friends as a girls night in activity and then ended up having to dig out her fire extinguisher bc her LOVELY flower-encrusted column candle became a bonfire on her kitchen table.

candles are fun! do please explore candlemaking!

just also please be careful not to set yourself or your house on fire if possible

also please just. please don't do this.

like you just. you don't need that many wicks. NO ONE needs that many wicks.

"pen surely the addition is just for comedic effect! no one is ACTUALLY making a bonfire candle."

please don't make the housefire candle, guys

beyond me making jokes, there is genuinely math and calculations to be done to determine what size/number of wicks you need for a candle, both for efficacy and safety. here’s a helpful little guide for that. 

WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? SCENES FROM A HAT

Oh, littles don't just like being nakey, they like talking about being nakey. And do I have a story for you!

This happened earlier this week, even.

[3YO, after getting her dirty diaper off and prior to getting her new one on, looks down at herself]

3YO: Where's my PENIS?

Me: You don't have one, honey.

Trash truck: [rolls by]

3YO: Did the trash truck TAKE MY PENIS?

Me: You never had one!

3YO: [Doubt face]

Me: You have a vulva!

3YO: My brother has a penis and I have a vulva?

Me: Yup!

3YO, proudly with her hands on her hips: I HAVE A VULVA!!

...I'm absolutely certain she told all the teachers and other kids at camp this that day, but I did not have it in me to ask.

My son totally asked why he did not have a pagina (how he was able to pronounce vagina by the way) and of course it was while we were in a public bathroom at the top of his lungs when he was around 4 years old. I could hear the lady in the stall next to me trying to stifle her laughter. It was great.

This is wonderful research and scientific testing. Which, I guess you should expect from an actual scientist, but still.

I always grew up thinking the Pyrex glass was indestructible and you could heat it to the temperature of the sun and it would barely flinch. It's a shame they changed the formula without telling folks.

I was going to say Ann is a national treasure, but she's from Australia so I guess she is a global treasure.

And if you are a flat earther I guess a... discal treasure?

For all of you Pyrex users out there.

I've had one of these dishes blow up on me, and this apparently is why. Who would have thought that enshittification would include cookware?

Imagine my shock as a neurodivergent teen when I first realized that using large vocabulary and eloquent speech doesn't make you less likely to be misinterpreted, rather it adds an entirely new layer of misinterpretation I had never even realized existed in the form of people thinking you're being snobbish or condescending when you're just trying to be specific
