Hint: It may not, despite prior evidence, be party time.

I had a dream that Joe Biden addressed the nation wearing a Miko robe like a Shinto priestess. He was also visibly 8 months pregnant. He didn't talk about that until the press asked him about it, to which he replied "I bear the child of a great spirit" as if that was like, something mildly inconvenient like getting stuck in traffic.

Laika how did you make this that fast

Who do you think gave you the dream

never in all of my years would i have expected to characterize a company’s rebrand as “actively hostile” and “potentially endangering lives” yet here we are

for context, that X sign is dangerously bright, directly faces an entire apartment complex, and to top it all off it fucking strobes

Listen. If all you know about Barbie is the movie, you need to know this:

Old dolls really aren't worth that much.

Nope, not even the original dolls from the early 1960s, not unless they are in absolutely pristine condition.

And every second-hand seller is out there ready to take advantage of the idea, held by most people, that "old doll automatically means valuable doll"

"The price being asked on eBay" is NOT the same as "the price the doll is worth"

And, ultimately, dolls are cheerful pieces of plastic. They are not vital to life--if you don't know me, I'll tell you I'm saying this as someone who has had fashion dolls as one of my main hobbies for decades. If you think something seems a bit expensive, it's perfectly OK to pass it by. It's just plastic.

There has always been a problem, especially on eBay, of predatory pricing sought by people who can't even tell the difference between a doll made in the 1960s versus one made in the 1990s that uses a 1960s copyrighted body.

Don't fall for it.

Adding to this PSA because someone at Cosmopolitan magazine fell for this old=valuable blunder. Now it's on the internet for all to see that someone purchased a budget doll ($15 max at time of release) for $200. Ariana Greenblatt was right when she chose that Extra barbie over the Pilot.

And the time of release was, what, about 7 years ago? Old enough not to be on store shelves anymore, but not old enough to be uncommon.

This reminds me of the time I went to an estate sale and the guy had naked, old Barbies from the 90’s for $5+ a pop and when I expressed displeasure he tried to pull the “they’re vintage” card on me. I looked him straight in the face and told him “yeah, but they’re not worth anything. I could go down to Savers and get dolls just like these for $2 a pop.” The look on his face…

Back in the day you could be a beautiful naked woman in the woods or by a stream and people would write poetry and myths about how beautiful and probably dangerous you were, these days they just call the cops

Uuuuuugh I actually really love this design. I have another one from this series that a friend got for me as a gift.

I didn’t find out about Fish Pony until later because I wasn’t actively collecting at the time, but this series was pretty fun.

Oooo that one’s neat! I haven’t seen her around much before, she’s got cool colours 🤩

She was an SDCC exclusive! She really is fun and vibrant.

Do you live in New York and have space in your heart and your home for a cat or two? New York City’s Animal Care & Control has so many cats that need homes that they’re unable to take in any more. All available adult cats have an adoption fee of $5 through the summer.

This is just a small sample of the amazing cats available for adoption. If you adopt any of these beauties I would love to see them in their new home!

Here are some of my favorite names of cats available for adoption, any one of these would be a delight to introduce to your friends and family! Your vet staff will immediately be smitten!

this facebook group features profiles of less adoptable cats written by volunteers at the manhattan ACC branch. i think it would be a lovely resource for people in the city who are open to adopting a cat who might otherwise be overlooked!

If people don't admit that alcohol is a drug so help me God I will pour an entire bottle of wine on their hair.

Wine? Drugs. Beer? Drugs. That awful cocktail you made in your dorm room out of leftover coffee and orange juice and tequila? D-d-d-drugs.

This may sound obvious to you but society at large puts alcohol in this removed category away from other drugs. If you tell most wine moms that they have a drug problem they'd be appalled that you'd ever say such a thing. It's just time for humanity to admit that we like doing drugs. Most people's drug of choice just happens to be alcohol.

Also caffeine is a drug but like, it's so baked into our culture because so many people rely on it to get through the workday, which should really say something about our relationship with work but that's not a conversation the powers that be are eager to have

my brother just prank called the auto parts store he works at asking if they had fallopian tubes and the guy spent like 20 minutes looking lmao 

Every summer I forget how much I fucking love spiders I’ve drunk one every day this week

Drinking spiders??!

You put ice cream in a glass and pour soft drink over it. It creates a thick layer of delicious foam on top of a sweet, creamy drink with ice cream in it.

And yes I did attempt to get a picture by googling “Australia spider” like a fucking moron.

I think that’s called a float in the states. Although we usually plop the icecream into the glass after the soda. Similar effect though.

We wouldn’t be able to call it that because the word is way too easy to confuse with a floater, which is a meat pie floating in a bowl of pea soup. It is every bit as delicious as a spider though. I should get some pies and pea soup.

I would like to announce that this is not a standard Australian food, it’s exclusively a South Australian one and the rest of Australia is just as appalled as the rest of the world.

It’s not our fault that the rest of Australia is incorrect about food.

“average person eats 3 spiders a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in South Australia and BADLY misinterpreted our survey question,,

I’m from the US and always put ice cream in before soda, so it might be regional.

Root beer float is the classic one here.
