reblog to make ur blog smell like crispy autumn air, graveyards, carved pumpkin guts, moon water, and a damp cave full of bats
I have been a sheep caretaker for like two days and already I'm like. Wow. I get it.
I get why these were some of the earliest mammals to ever be domesticated. They look up to humans with this sort of dumb but all at once innocent and pure and trusting expression. They're happy to see you. They follow you around. They like to be rubbed under their chins. Maybe its just some latent Scottish highland shepherd DNA I still have in me but I look at my sheep charges and suddenly I see why the love of God for humanity is so often described as a shepherd and his sheep. I'd fight a wolf for these guys. I'd go way the Hell out of my way for them. I'd carry their young for miles on my own back.
nearly 80k reblogs and how many of you eat lamb
The ancient shepherds I'm referencing also ate lamb lol
tumblr trying to be like tiktok then trying to be like twitter then giving us the 3rd unreality inducing immersive ad, its staff members being condescending to the userbase, the marketing team trying to parasocialize their way into your pockets, youtube trying to do away with adblockers after upping the percentage of ads by 40% and making it so even if your video is demonetized watchers will still get them, youtube removing the dislike button then making it so you don't get a home feed if you have watch history turned off, google being able to remove your synched bookmarks if they don't comply with their policy, if i listed every way in which twitter has gotten worse in the last year this post will be as long as a novel, ai generated articles and images everywhere, google searches sucking ass in general, reddit charging for its api, KOSA being introduced into the US senate, tiktok in general, every social media under the fucking sun introducing log in walls, being unable to browse most sites on mobile from the sheer amount of popups taking over your screen WAUUUGH social media being products and thus requiring infinite growth and thus trying to introduce newer and newer shit that alienates its dedicated userbase. saturated sludge era of the internet
Do people who say communism is ableist cause not everyone can work know marx explicitly says in critique of the gotha program that there should be a fund for the unable to work
was hesitant to make this post being irish american myself but it’s relevant on here so i’ll rephrase something i said recently that a staunch majority of self identified irish americans have no actual interest in engaging with irish culture or decolonial politics but appropriate irish identity to feel Special within US american individualist culture while occupying the oppressor class and reaping its benefits. the irish american identity is class traitorism, not in that all irish americans are bourgeois but that it originated as an indigenous people marginalized under imperialism assimilating into beneficiaries of settler colonialism, white supremacy, and economic exploitation of the third world while paying empty lip service to and commodifying their heritage. america is also an oppressor to ireland, which all irish americans have the capacity to enforce. the US government occupies shannon airport as a military base against the will of irish people, tourism catered to irish americans drives rent up to unlivable heights, and the US military drags over their propaganda to entertain their visiting sports teams and push their agenda for ireland to join NATO. biden’s whole schtick is being an irish niceguy while he tries to prod the free state into signing up irish citizens for america and britain’s imperialistic wars. this is bare minimum for our communities to understand and take accountability for.
I'm not even mad about the celsius vs fahrenheit debate – yeah it's pretty much what you're used to in your day to day etc. I'm a celsius gal which makes F sound so much funnier every time people casually mention it's over 100 degreed outside. I imagine people boiling alive.
I'm not even mad about the inches vs meters – again it's a habit thing and at least an inch is a set unit of measurement. Why do people prefer to stack 12s instead of neat round tens is beyond me but hey, live and let live.
But for the love of god, why are people making their cooking and baking adventures so much harder by measuring out the ingredience iN VOLUME? I mean cups and I am a cup hater because I have enough understanding of physics to know that the fucking air can interfere with volume measurement but not the simple and precise weight measurement.
2 cups of chicken - I can promise you I can make both 500g and 100g of raw chicken meat take up exactly the same volume. Same with flour – you can accidentally knock more air into it or level 2 cups slightly differently and yeah it does matter for certain recipes.
Or I can take my cheapskate scale and measure out precisely 267 mls of flour or water or milk or meat or diced onions without having to calculate "oh it's one full cup and some other weird amount on top". And my chad scale from Lidl can do all of it - ml, grams and ounces with no issue.
Whenever I see a recipe that uses cups I'm also baffled – it Requires me getting the volumetric measurement tool, sticking it full of butter hoping there's not too much air in between chunks, and then scooping it back out into the dish I actually need it in. Or I could place my mixing bowl on a scale and cut 69 grams of butter directly into it saving steps and washing up. And don't talk to me about conversion calculators!! Because your cups are not standardized!! And I'm the one who has to check if the person writing the recipe is from US, UK or Australia! You all have different cups!!
Why do people choose this hardship. I understand metric is fr*nch but it's one of the rare wins for them, aside from guillotine. Come on.
I just saw a home decor vlogger suggesting you can 'add a pop of color' to your bedding while demonstrating by adding a pale beige cushion to a fully 100% white bedset.
I've got it. My current aesthetic is 'i rent a room in a house where i'm not allowed to paint walls or change furniture or add any fixtures that require a nail in the wall or change textiles that are not my own like drapes or carpets or breathe too hard on the cooktop lest I scratch it and there is no storage space in my room to even unpack my stuff fully so I end up never using it.'
Now to find pinterest boards and intagrams for that and romanticize the shit out of this.
some of you talk about “neurotypicals” like they’re a completely different species and not just the vague concept of people whose behaviors and capacities fall more consistently within a narrow range of culturally-approved norms
The "neurotypical person" is like the legal construct of the "reasonable person"—they're both hypothetical measuring sticks an individual's actions are judged against for the purpose of apportioning discipline. An individual can approximate neurotypicality to within accepted limits, but there's no whole population of people with identical brain functions out there called "neurotypical people." Really the whole concept of "neurotypes" as discrete and cleanly categorizable subtypes of human being is shady as fuck, especially where it gestures to some fundamental difference in the structures of our brains when in practice virtually all of this clinical labelling is based on behaviors not fucking brain scans or whatever.
funniest thing a band called franz ferdinand could do is have their most popular song be titled take me out and by god they did that
I love opening up this website first thing like the morning paper and immediately seeing multiple posts like "how to get rid of the evil clown on the dashboard". like oh is this what we're doing today
I'm gonna start adding this to every post I see about this advertising bs that tumblr are pulling
not only is it annoying, and in some countries probably illegal for not declaring a paid partnership
TUMBLR IS CROSSING THE PICKET LINE
They are taking money from Netflix to promote a show.
Actors and writers are unable to promote work because of the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Netflix is under the AMPTP, so it is a struck company, making One Piece a struck work.
So they are using alternate ways of promoting their products, including paying companies like tumblr.
Both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA have made statements saying that they consider anyone or company taking payment to promote struck work as crossing the picket line.
Tumblr is spitting in the face of struggling actors and writers to make a quick buck from Netflix
Spicy-brained friends, I would like to propose an update to the very useful ‘if you hate everyone, eat, if everyone hates you, sleep, and if you hate yourself, shower’ mantra to live by
Have you suddenly become a petty, hateful little gremlin who thinks people should face the firing squad for (checks notes) leaving teabags on the counter, breathing loudly, or daring to exist in the same space as you? Perhaps mundane and reasonable requests like ‘hey, we agreed to hang out now, let’s hang out’ make you want to scream and move to a yurt in the woods.
You. Are. Overstimulated.
People talk a lot about being overstimulated, and the physical/mental effects of it. What I haven’t seen is people talking about what it does emotionally, and it took me an embarassingly long time to link up those nitpicky, resentful emotions with the state of overstimulation/meltdown/shutdown.
These feelings do not mean that you’re a bad person! They probably aren’t how you actually feel about the people around you. They probably do mean that your nervous system is at its absolute limit and any request/demand/stimulus is Too Much and taking you into fight or flight territory.
Go lie down in a dark room for an hour, or find somewhere safe and familiar to stim for a bit. If it’s happening a lot, schedule yourself regular low-stimulation shutdown time
Signed: someone who moved in with their nearest and dearest only to have a massive crisis of faith about Suddenly Hating All of Them. I don’t hate them, it’s just overstimulating living with people. If I can spare anyone else a similar 9 months of suspecting that they may actually be a bit of a shit person, then this post is worth it!
you might especially feel this way if someone picks up on your bad mood, but all their kind suggestions make you want to bite and scream. in my experience that’s not because you hate them or even the suggestion, it’s probably because *any* new information or ideas, no matter how gentle, is just Too Many Thoughts. this is when it helps a lot to have a plan in advance, even if the plan is just “take medication” or “go to hidey-hole,” because trying to think of a solution in the moment might be beyond you.
(also if ur overstimulated, it’s often worth checking if you need to eat/sleep/shower as well, because that might be part of what’s overstimulating you!)
I think people would armchair diagnose bad people with cluster B disorders much less if psychiatric disorders hadn't all been given names by ableists who of course picked the traits most unberarable to "sane" people to name them rather than, you know, the ways it affects the people that have them. It's like, when doctors are all "this disorder gives you extremely low self esteem. and it's called the Selfish Fucking Asshole Disorder" or "this disorder makes you want to die so bad. and it's called the Hysteric Bitch Disorder" or "this disorder disconnects you from your peers. and it's called the Insane Evil Cunt Disorder" and so on and so forth, so of course you have people going "oh, this person is a selfish fucking asshole, they MUST have Selfish Fucking Asshole Disorder! this further proves that all people with this disorder are like that in the first place!" Do You See It
"Psychiatry is an inherently harmful institution" "ummm source?" ok imagine you had an illness that impairs your day to day life. now imagine it was called the Shitty Bitch Disease.
Bipolar disorder for sure. Thought this could describe autism as well, but apparently not, autism was originally meant to convey “morbid self-absorption”
