the main problem i have with america is that nothings old as hell there. i cant be so far away from a castle it damages my aura

man people really just say stuff on here huh

Noooo haha don't spread racist ideals and colonizer propaganda by idolizing white european aesthetics above all else and denying the life and accomplishments of native peoples on their own lands

People have been living in the downtown area of Tucson, Arizona for at least 4,500 years. The greater Santa Cruz river valley has been occupied by humans for 12,000 years.

You see this?

That's not a river. That's the South Canal in Mesa, Arizona (Phoenix metro area).

This is a view of the East and South canals. At least half of all the Phoenix metro canals were originally built by the Hohokam (from roughly 200-1400 CE), and are still in use (restored) today.

Phoenix, Arizona actually has more miles (kilometers) of Canals total than both Venice and Amsterdam. No, really. Phoenix has about 180 miles of canals, many of which are built on ancient canal foundations.

below is an aerial view photo taken in the late 1930's of one branch of Phoenix's canal systems:

Also have the "Montezuma Castle," if you need a castle:

I don't need to look at some 12th century European castle to see age.

Your daily dose of cat memes

i'm sure someone has done this already but

cats when they finish their food so there’s no food left because they finished their food and now there’s no food (0 food bc they finished it)

i have the soul of a 40 year old divorced cis man

i dont want to. i want to keep tickling his prostate chakra

people will claim to be filled with whimsy and joy for life but then hate musicals……. the vile tongue of man will never cease lying

The thing is that I don't want to be employed but I also don't want to be unemployed. I actually want our entire economic system to explode but that's not really a feasible option right now

[VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

"All your tests/labs came back clear! Isn't that great?"

American healtcare is a business, and you are the customer. Here's something you can say:

"It's great that we ruled out X, Y, and Z with these tests. However, I'm still having these symptoms, and they're effecting my daily life in these specific ways. So what's next on your list of differential diagnoses?"

And if that doesn't get you anywhere, you can say something like:

"Okay, we've ruled out all of the common causes for my symptoms. So when do we start exploring more rare explanations?"

And if that still gets you nowhere, you're going to document their refusal to do further testing in your chart, because they don't want to have to put that in writing. Keep going, you're worth it. I love you, mean.

we need to give this tweet more credit for im pretty sure coining “die mad about it”

checks out, thank you melanie

An important message to heterosexuals, listen carefully: you do not, and I repeat do NOT, have to marry someone you actively dislike, don't enjoy spending time with and/or whose hobbies you despise. You do not have to do that!! stop doing that!!!

"hahaha I hate my wife and made an entire room of the house dedicated to evading her company"

"hahaha I hate my husband and I drink industrial quantities of wine to cope with having had kids with him"

MAYBE STOP?

Hi. I’m sorry. But literally as I was reblogging this the lady being interviewed in the doc I’m watching said something like “oh ya know, it was normal girl talk stuff like all about how terrible husbands are.” And I. Yup.

lol this is actually a point in my latest novel...my MC doesn't realize she's attracted to women at first because all her women friends talk about how much they can't stand their husbands and she's like "well I might not be madly in love with my boyfriend but at least it's not that bad"

it uh

might be slightly biographical.

the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ has only been actually typed once by a single person, everyone else who has ever used it has just googled “shrug emoji” and copy-pasted it

why repaint the mona lisa

As someone who has painstakingly typed it out because I forgot there were other options, I can guarantee my forgery was not up to the quality of the original.

did you install a katakana keyboard just to type it or did you have to Google “katakana alphabet” or something and copypaste from that

Pretty sure I just did a vaguely cursed bootleg thing like this:

that’s a guy who has lost control of his life. there is no more cheerful nihilism in his smile, no more mischief in his eyes. that’s an emoticon with clinical depression

if a wizard shows you her boobs you should look

and if you feel an arcane force seizing control of your body that's just the curse which is fine
