Fanfic writers are like crows. If you give them treats (comments) they will bring you shiny things (fanfic)
Fandom creators are like cows, some people think you can just milk them for content, but actually they need enrichment (comments) and a nice pasture to graze on (kudos/likes) and they secretly also like cuddles (asks about their fic/art)
The fucking op name killed me
Something terrible happened here
this was ghost written by a disgruntled vampire
A satirical papyrus showing a lady mouse being served wine by a cat while another cat dresses her hair, a third cares for her baby, and a fourth fans her. The mice have hilarious huge, round ears.
Where: Egyptian Museum Cairo
When: New Kingdom
In this case the word "satirical" is being used to help cover up the existence of the brief Mouse Dynasty, which occurred between the Eighteenth and Nineteenth dynasties, following the death of Pharoah Horemhab and his appointment of the palace Mouse, Pnw I (pronounced penoo) to the throne. Following the death of Pnw XIth, three years later, Ramesses I took the throne and the Nineteenth Dynasty began. Most traces of the Mouse Dynasty were eliminated, but several have survived.
As an Egyptologist, I can confirm that we have depictions of Pharao Pnw III and Pharao Pnw IX:
As you can see, they are stylistically very similar, and can thus be grouped into the same dynasty (dynasty eighteen and a half). If you want to read more about this topic, here are some resources: link
I always figured the babies had such serious faces because they were learning so hard. Like, learning to dance(for a baby) is just another skill like learning to hold a spoon or throw a ball.
Babies do not understand the relative utility of the skills they are learning so must approach all with the same level of intensity

oh my goodness I love her she’s so wholesome
Yeah! Her name is Mercury Stardust, and she’s a maintenance technician who gives tips and talks about renters’ rights. She also does burlesque shows! She’s mostly active on TikTok I think, but she has some other socials and a main website.
Her book, titled “Safe and Sound: A Renter-Friendly Guide to Home Repair” comes out in August 2023.
The book blurb, taken from the publisher’s website:
Dear Readers: As a transwoman, I’ve discovered (the hard way) that we live in a world with much to fear. But imagine fearing something as simple as asking for help. Imagine relying on others—landlords—to provide a basic human right, like housing, but knowing those same people believe you’re an abomination because of your sexuality or gender identity. Imagine a world where reaching out for help is more than just a mundane task—it’s a game of chance. Sadly, for too many renters, this isn’t just a one-time moment of fear. For single moms, college students in a foreign town, and many others, a knock on the door can feel just as terrifying, even when you need the help. All renters deserve to feel empowered enough to take matters into their own hands. The skills I’ll show you how to develop will allow you to help friends, teach family members, and even assist a panicking neighbor—further empowering more people to take on tasks on their own. We all have a home—whether it’s made up of brick walls or plaster—filled with memories and dreams. Knowledge should pass through any barriers put up around it because a little bit of knowledge can go a long way toward making someone feel more in control of their own life. Your soon-to-be favorite virtual repair technician, Mercury Stardust, the Trans Handy Ma’am
She actually JUST retired from burlesque.
and she also just launched a podcast! the Handy Ma’am Hotline.
This kid is very agile.
I GOTTA GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE
I can’t breathe. The part where he scales the wall screaming gets me every time.
TIL that there's an '80s movie where they portrayed Smilodon by sticking actual fake teeth onto actual live lions.
So I learnt about this as part of a paleontology lecture talking about how it became accepted that saber teeth don't hinder the animals ability to eat
Citation - those people who stuck some on real lions which were able to eat without problems once they got used to them
today on neat hozier retweets: disappearing birds!
Ooh, invisible bird glitch. That's a rare one, also known to happen to owls.
The landlord fears the urban oyster mushroom farmer
I have seen this on every social media site and folks- if your home is damp enough to get full fruity flushes of oyster mushrooms (from stray spores from a grow bag batch), they are the LEAST of your worries. You know what doesn’t produce highly visible fruiting bodies? Most molds. And wood rot. Go ahead and grow them indoors, because they’re a canary in the coal mine if they start fruiting anywhere.
^ the above reblog right here!!! People in the notes saying "don't do this!!!" Are missing the part where people are not deliberately growing Oyster Mushrooms all over their apartment, but that the stray spores from Mushroom Growing Kits are revealing systemic dampness problems that Landlords cannot dismiss and forces them to take action.
was talking to my gf about my fear of dying young for being trans and my mom putting my deadname on my gravestone, and she said "i hope that never happens, but if it does, i will carve your name into your grave myself if i have to." and i think theres something extremely raw about that sentiment and trans community in general. you can kill only our bodies, but you cant kill transsexuality
