Under a Clear Sky, In a World Untarnished,

I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator

yall wont trick me into listening to kpop

You can try Radiooooo.com - The Musical Time Machine!!

choose a country, pick a decade, and GO!!

you’ll get an endless streaming of songs (ad free!).

I personally found myself loving 1970s Ghana, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire! Also 1920s and 1970s Japan for sure! Cambodian music: spectacular. Love Armenia and Mali as well. I’ve been told 70s Germany is weird and 30s Algeria is cool but I haven’t gotten around to those yet. Italy’s 1960s is bomb ofc but I’m biased ;)

Soulmates, but with the British meaning of “mate.” Two homies bound by a platonic string of fate.

Soulmates, but with the Australian meaning of "mate." Two people who are - depending on how you pronounce it - either best friends or about to punch each other out.

One thing I love about Tumblr that wasn't a thing on Reddit is that I can just write whatever the fuck text post I want. No titles. No putting text on images. No algorithms or karma. Just fuckin splatter your mind onto the screen and people will see it. Like god intended.

It’s one of the best things.

My Post: haha in a fleeeeb beepo bingus kinda mood rn

It has unironically been great for my mental health. It’s like the opposite of doomscrolling. Coomscrolling? Idk

Mood I've felt marginally better past 2 days than I have in how long???

Speaking as a longtime Tumblr user

It’s doing me good to see you all here. Like we’ve had some pretty sus UX changes lately (although nowhere near on the level of what Reddit’s doing—mostly it’s been months since they introduced Tumblr Live and we’re all still mad about it), and seeing y’all come stumbling in like “oh this is COOL” is letting me take a fresh look at the site and really appreciate why I love it here.

the notes are so right. You don't bother to check every egg until the day one is cracked.

this fruit is so good i wish i could give every farmer in Peru 100 thousand dollars

i don't understand how one can be both a billionaire and a human because i would eat an average quality mango and be like "call my financial advisor I have to bestow a gift upon every mango grower on Earth."

If you want better wages and better treatment, strike. If you aren’t unionized, unionize your workplace.

I keep having to tear down extremely predatory/misleading Scien.tology flyers in my school's art building. This is the third fucking time I've ripped the fuckers up and I'm getting Real Fucking Tired of it.

If you see shit like this DO NOT call the number, do not do anything to interact with these fucking people. Take down the posters if you're able to. They do NOT want to help you. They are a literal fucking cult who openly despise psychology and any actual proven mental health science, and are actively trying to trick mentally/emotionally vulnerable people into joining.

The red flags here are "Hubbard," the name of their founder, and "dianetics," the crackpot theory they teach for "auditing" your sins from your past lives.

i can't find sources on this anywhere any more, but i distinctly remember reading a blurb about Gene Ray's Time Cube that mentioned how one guy somewhere else in the US read Gene's ramblings and actually parsed enough meaning out of them that he became the world's first and only convert to Time Cube Thought other than Gene himself. this guy then flew down to Florida to meet his visionary prophet face-to-face, whereupon they promptly got into an argument over the fundamentals of Time Cube so bad that they never spoke again. i guess it was always possible to create a religious schism with the theoretical minimum of two people but it's funny to see in practice

There's a lesson here

@is-the-snake-video-cute

What the hell? Is this normal? Is the snake ok?

Thanks for tagging me!

So, this isn't good, and it's not normal, but this is something that can happen in even healthy snakes, with a few big qualifiers. This only really happens on ophiophagus (snake-eating) snakes, like this kingsnake, and it happens because they think they smell food and wind up biting themselves. This snake happened to bite at just the right angle to swallow their tail, and as they kept going, any pain they felt was dismissed as being from their "prey" biting them.

This snake is probably okay. As you can see in the video, they let go as soon as some hand sanitizer got in their mouth - snakes hate the smell and taste of the stuff.

Situations like this are very rare. This snake's keeper did the right thing - it looks like they brought them to to the vet based on the table, and some hand sanitizer got them to let go with no issues.

OMG That is so cute!!

Also the reason that the cat did this is actually because they are mirroring their owner. If their owner treats the thing (or in this case book) with respect and has made it very clear with their actions that the thing is important the cat will take notice and mirror this behavior!

Great addition! However, this is actually because the cat is Muslim.

new month, new postcard for the postcard club! 🖥📀💾

people with medical issues are not “putting a strain on the medical system”. that’s what the medical system is for. yes this includes people with substance use related medical issues and other people considered “undeserving” of help

if the medical system can’t help all people then the problem is the system, not the people

It's mermay Monday again 🤭
