The Forbidden Pool

Avatar

Every so often a note will blow through my notifs telling me “Um actually the water is only radioactive at the bottom so it’s perfectly safe to swim here” yeah bitch swim in the reactor pool see if I fucking care

i was very excited during class when i suddenly realized this comic translates beautifully into chinese

the explanation here being:

allo? - hello? a l'eau - water?

谁呀?- shei ya? who is it? 水呀?- shui ya? water?

It’s even funnier if you know that in french that type of showerhead is called a “Telephone shower”. ^_^

Cula Cornoiu

Curtişoara, Romania

This cula (tower house) is located in the southwestern Carpathian mountain range near the the town of Tirgu Jiu, in the county of Gorj within Oltenia. The cula is part of the open-air Folk Architecture Museum of Gorj, which contains a variety of buildings that have been relocated from the region. The stone cula was constructed in the early 18th century. During a period of instability, when the Ottoman Empire controlled the Danubian Provinces (historic Wallachia and Moldavia), numerous such fortified tower houses were built by the landowning boyars.

What's that poem about the cockroach and the moth where the cockroach is like "I wish I've ever wanted anything the way that moth wanted to burn itself up in that lantern" because we had to read that in high school and it still fucks me up to this day

Ok I found it it's called "the lesson of the moth by archy" and it's by Don Marquis

archy and mehitabel are a treasure, newspaper columnist Don Marquis wrote a lot of these free-verse poems in character as a cockroach named archy (always lowercase because he's a cockroach and can't reach the shift key!!) who was using his typewriter & while it started out as a way of poking gentle fun at the avant-garde poetry of his time (the 1910s - startling how little "avant-garde poetry" has moved forward, isn't it) it evolved over time into some genuinely beautiful and moving poetry

ALSO many of them have illustrations by Krazy Kat author George Herriman which are frankly iconic and adorable!!

everyone thank evilmario666 for firing the rent-lowering gunshots

You mean that anti-shifter piece of shit? Everyone also curse evilmario666's name for using his jk rowling hate as an excuse to bully the reality shifting community. Even if he fired the rent-lowering gunshots, that won't excuse his shitty actions, he's on my DNI for a reason

the world has been unkind to you so you continue the cycle of unkindness by passing on hatred and indifference to others? Wow. groundbreaking. you’re so cool and tormented

i think one of the most important things you learn about making connections with others is that a significant portion of the time people just do not know theyre doing what theyre doing

sometimes someone is acting selfish because they just didnt think you had any interest in what theyre hogging. sometimes you dont get invited to the movies because your friend could have sworn that you said no. sometimes you think someone is mad at you because theyre bad at hiding how little sleep they got. we are all like little worlds that briefly crash into one another from time to time and we just arent physically capable of seeing the whole picture at once in those moments. and learning that really changed everything!
