she/they pronouns

So my mother has a music box, and she recognizes the tune it plays but can't remember what it is/where it's from, and both Shazam and the internet in general have failed us, so I figured I'd... try tumblr? I guess? At this point it can't hurt lol

(Kindly ignore the awkward footage of my wrist)

It's a Jane Seymour St. Catherine's Court music box, it's shaped like a brown egg with an elephant that spins inside it, and the elephant has a picture of a forget me not (we think) in it, if that helps. Maybe one of yall will be able to put the exact right combo of those search terms into Google to learn what song this thing plays, or find an obscure reddit thread about it, or smth idk

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

consider the sperm whale and the squid. an ancient rivalry that dates back millions of years. we know the whales eat the squids. we know the squids do not make it easy for them. we know this because of the scars the whales carry, scars on the outside of their body, and on the inside as well. how badly must you want something to endure wounds inside your mouth? inside your gut?

consider the whale, who is harmed by what sustains her. consider the squid, whose flesh is soft and delicious but refuses to go down easy.

This post is about lactose intolerance I can smell it.

Binders are hand wash only and I've STRUGGLED and i cannot recommend enough: get your ass an antique washboard! Get one with a textured glass board! Rub soap onto the textured part of the glass and then rub your binder against it and all sweat and soil fucking disappears! This washboard must have been a huge game changer for our ancestors who used to have to lay shit on a rock and beat it with a stick. The textured glass washboard makes hand washing so fucking easy! Trans man lifehack, wash your tit holster like a Victorian lady!!

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

imagine getting cast in a minor one-scene role in a procedural abt firefighters and they dress you up as a christmas elf and then they give you just a single line of dialogue and you're like. oh nice i get to interact with one of the main stars. so you go and do your best to get into cheery elf character and literally just say "you two have an adorable son" and you're like yeah. that's cool and you move on with your life only to end up becoming a legend who appears in several gifsets on tumblr dot com every so often because you somehow turned into a critical figure in a fandom that wants those two procedural guys to Kiss.

Hey guys! The WGA is asking for people to sign a petition aimed against Universal. Treegate isn't the first union busting tactic Universal has tried.

They started a construction project that "just so happens" to block some of the sidewalks and forces picketers to walk in the street. The government told Universal they need to install safety rails to replace the sidewalks. A demand Universal has so far ignored.

Please sign the petition for Universal to install the safety rails and reblog.

If you love Tree Law, the beloved subreddit is open again. I highly recommend sorting by top/all time.

To clarify after some questions:

(American) Tree Law is very satisfying because the cases often involve someone damaging trees that don’t belong to them, usually for an aesthetic, mercenary, petty, and/or spiteful reason. However, American tree law comes down like a HAMMER on such people, and they will get mighty fines. If the tree dies, in fact, they’ll be on the hook to replace the whole thing, and as it turns out, trees ain’t cheap. As the article above summarizes one incident in Reddit terms:

To rephrase it as an AITA post: am I the asshole if I cut down 32 trees on my neighbor’s property, but instead of just charging me a $32,000 fine, now they’re going to make me build a road and find transplanted, equally mature trees to replant?

Tree Law is perhaps one of the few branches (I didn’t even mean that to be a pun) of American law where self-entitled wrongdoers WILL face consequences. NBC Universal wants to maul a row of city-owned ficus trees to deprive striking workers of shade during a heat wave? Oh boy.

in honor of ace week id like to shoutout every asexual who first thought they were bi/pan because they looked at all the genders and felt no difference and zero is equal to zero so they said "huh. must be bisexual" and then shoved their sexuality back under the rug for 3-5 years
