Hey, heads up to anyone thinking about following me.
I am shit at tagging.
I am probably not going to become better anytime soon. Tumblr is a place of rest and relaxation for me, and I don't want to spoil it by having to put work in.
You have been warned.
I feel like there would be such anxiety in the high society in and around Gotham when it comes to Bruce Wayne, his children and them attending galas.
I feel like he would basically never RSVP, but just show up with however many children he feels like. (Or accept everything and decide later).
What’s it’s gonna be? Bruce Wayne alone, flirty and drunk? Bruce Wayne, exhausted, because he has his whole gaggle of kids with him? Bruce Wayne and just some of his kids - if so, which one? The one that constantly climbs on something (tho he is popular with the young attendees and milfs), the 17yo CEO, the silent one (looks kinda scary but harmless), the sassy blonde one that isn’t even his fucking kid, the mystery blood child (very scary but if you have an animal charity he will donate lots of money), the newest no nonsense one or even the one that looks like the one who died and claims to have no relation to the Waynes but only ever hangs out with them.
Or will be bring a random date? Or his butler?
It’s a mystery, but you can bet: if even one Wayne shows up, it will be an interesting evening
phineas and ferb really said “how many characters can we make autistic” and the answer was “yes”
a good horse is far superior to a self driving car
Horses have fantastic senses of direction and often go home without the rider’s instruction. In cases of a riders being unable to take the reigns due to inebriation or injury or falling off and getting injured, the horse would often show back up at home before anyone knew anything was wrong. This isn’t always the case but a good horse has a much better chance of getting you home without killing pedestrians than a self driving car does.
Also the horse won't explode
Horses have broken my bones, knocked me into tree branches and bucked me off onto rocks and I’d sooner ride a horse than get in a Tesla.
I feel like it says something that when our culture tells stories about people who gain powers and want to protect people with those powers, they literally always go vigilante instead joining the police or the army. Like, if we really believed in all the propaganda, we'd say that working for the government is the best way for a super to protect people.
But we don't. Because we know, all of us, even if we don't admit it, that while the military and the cops can occasionally protect us, that's not what they are there for, and superheroes can do better.
I like personality quizzes in theory but in practice I just get irritated by the semantic ambiguity of literally every question. "On a spectrum from scientific to artistic what are you" motherfucker I literally wax poetic about the laws of thermodynamics where the fuck does that land on your spectrum
The 3 genders are literally

Thanks for coming to my TED talk
And, of course, I end all storytimes with a hi five and good word to the kids’ adults. Kid was energetic? They were so fun and excited today! Kid was zoned out? They were so well behaved! Two things can simultaneously be true.
Tips for non-librarians: for the coolest lgbt kids books, they’re hiding in the nonfiction section. Seriously. Books about Gilbert Baker sewing the first flag and Marsha P Johnson and Stonewall and lgbt history around the world… In Nonfic. LAME. BOO. MOVE THEM TO MY COLLECTION INSTEAD HELLO. I WANT THEM. *grabby hands*
ADDITIONAL PRIDE PICTURE BOOKS I RECOMMEND CHECKING OUT AT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY: bonus edition!
Not to mention the not-pictured (because I had intended on using them for a storytime):
Bonus Bonus: for a non-binary they/them early reader character, try out the Riley Reynolds series by Jay Albee! Stories include outside play, theater, and costume day at school.
🏳️🌈 Happy Pride!!
Tom Holland does Rihanna’s “Umbrella” on Lip Sync Battle
I’m literally zendaya reacting like he didn’t have to go that hard and yet..
Must always reblog
Sometimes you just need to watch again. Instant serotonin.
I love that his only regret about this is him not having done the routine in heels.
I wonder if this is what sealed the deal for Zendaya. Cause I get it.
When I WATCHED this one on tv, y'all!!!!! I loved watching LL’s reaction! I don’t think ANYONE was prepared for it, cuz I know I wasn’t.
And the young man does ballet!!!
The key thing is he NAILS the routine and does it seriously, it’s not a joke choice. He does it with passion.
Completely agree with the above comment. This is what makes it so much better than some of the other performances that people consider good. (I’m particularly thinking of Channing Tatum’s performance here.)
Tom Holland didn’t seem like he was dressing in women’s clothes and dancing like a woman as a lighthearted gag done for laughs. Even if that’s what he intended (I have no idea), once he was out there on that stage, he played it seriously. He went out there and delivered a serious performance. It was intense, and he injected his legitimate (not exaggerated for laughs) sex appeal into the performance.
He was brilliant.
Literally every time I watch this I appreciate it more. More comments or more perspective or I just notice something else I didn’t before.
I will never not reblog this.
This is why I get meal kits. Do I need them? No. Can I easily make them myself? For way cheaper? Yes. WILL I??? No.
Other tips: if you are going to buy things that aren’t pre-taxed, you need to make a habit of always doing the prep AS SOON AS YOU GET HOME. it will NEVER HAPPEN if you don’t.
Get the bulk pack of steaks! But you are never gonna eat them before they go bad. If you freeze them in individual ziplocks as soon as you unpack you probably will?
Get the celery, but you need to cut it ALL UP and store it in the fridge in water or it will rot.
And don’t do all tgese at once, get like, one or two prep things a trip. You aren’t gonna get it started if it’s a huge task.
Don’t pass by these tips because you don’t have ADHD!
These are valid points for the busy parent, the overstressed college student, and the person working the “wrong” shift.
Real story - I have thrown away SO MUCH meat and produce in my time. Frozen veggies can even be better than fresh, since they are picked when ripe and frozen rather than picked early and expected to ripen in shipping. My local grocer will sometimes pre-chop less-than-desirable veggies and sell them in the discount cooler - a chopped onion is more useful than a whole one! Meat in bulk packs is WAY cheaper, but you have to make breaking up that huge pack part of putting away the groceries. Also, having a place to put the groceries away helps make the process easier. It’s taken me more than one decade of life to figure these things out.
It’s not lazy if it is efficient. Professionals call it “time management.”
They really awake his bloodlust, uh
The virgin pit bull vs the chad Great Pyrenees
Listen. I grew up with these dogs. Im a cat person, no shame, but Great Pyrenees are hands down my most trusted domestic animal and are hardcore as fuck.
When I was a kid, between six and fifteen, one of our Pyrenees would escort me, off-leash, between my grandmother's house and mine. I'd just have to call him, and he'd show up and walk me there, placing himself between me and anything he considered threatening- Cranky farm animals, holes in the ground, bodies of water, etc.
That same dog found a (unfortunately deceased) lamb my grandfather had buried a few hours earlier, dug it up, realized it was cold and not breathing, and carefully carried it to our barn, where he covered it neck-deep in straw and tried to cuddle it warm again to bring it back to life.
One of our older dogs, at about sixteen years old (keep in mind, this breed tends to average out at about 12 years max) had arthritis in his hips, a bad back, and a respiratory issue, was fucking ancient and essentially palliative, but would still go stock-still out of nowhere, let out one subtle "boof", and then set out at an awkward-yet-speedy bunny-hop sprint at the slightest whiff of a cougar, bear, or wolf. Like, grampa would jump fences. Gentle geriatric giant would kick up to 7k to protect the family, never mind the three other, much younger fogs already on the case.
When I was a baby, like a literal in-diapers infant, he would lay on the ground and let me dress him up as a wizard and crawl all over him with zero complaint.
His nephew was 100lbs and often alarmed visitors who mistook him for a bear, yet never so much as bumped into a person in his life and feared only string and kittens.
A Great Pyrenees is not only the best dog, but I would argue that it is also the MOST dog
