Thog Dont Caare

I don’t know where else to post this but I just got diagnosed with ADHD. Feels weird.

Today is my second day of taking Ritalin and it hasn’t made me feel much different. The first time I took it my boyfriend even said I didn’t seem particularly different. Hmmm.🤔

"goddess" "matriarchy" "female wisdom" girl your civic rights

“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”

— Ursula K. Le Guin

my friend keeps posting their periodical spectacular culinary failures on twitter because they’re such a bad cook it’s actually comical but i think this one is the all-timer

it’s like literally actually some kind of condition they have

truly the most american thing is Big Drink. more than late stage capitalism, more than an unparalleled cultural focus on individualism, more than 9/11 jokes

what binds all americans together culturally is Big Drink

and you might be saying "is this fat shaming" or "but mayor bloomberg outlawed Big Drink in nyc" or "gays are so annoying about their iced coffee" or some other dumb comment but no open your minds, Big Drink isn't just sugary or caffeinated beverages

every day i see one of you hydration bitches (affectionate) on the train with a water bottle so big a toddler could drown in it. that too is Big Drink. we literally invented a bigger beer can (tall boy) in wisconsin in the 60s in the service of Big Drink

anyway i never feel more american then when i have Big Drink in my hands

hate when someone asks how are you and you say good how are you and they say "oh not so great" or something. it's always like ohh okay i see we're being honest i thought we were playing pretend. can i have a do-over

i could do a great one of those “get ready with me” morning routine videos. like hi welcome to my channel everyone! first thing i do when i wake in the morning is i step outside and i take a deep breath and i get real high and i scream from the top of my lungs what’s going on—

and after that i try. oh my god do i try. i try all the time. in this institution

"if tumblr goes down find me a-" we have been making these posts for a decade now.. either i wake up one day and its gone and i take up cigaretts to fill the void or 40 years from now i post my 5G cancer xray results direct from my neuralink

bugs is…. shrimp????

also i love that the phrase "piss on the poor" is functionally an effective shorthand on here for "someone has a lack of reading comprehension". wonder how long it will be before the knowledge that it is an intentional misapprehension of the phrase "piss poor" disappears and we get a Reader who says. the phrase piss on the poor is so cruel we should say something else

based on the notes of this post, which has gotten several thousand in the last day or so, we have in fact already reached this point

"Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers."

(Incidentally, "piss poor" is itself taken from the phrase "not a pot to piss in", which is itself a shortening of "not a pot to piss in or a window to throw it from", in reference to those so poor that they had neither home nor chamberpot. Isn't language fun?)

For those in the notes wondering, it's a reference to this ancient post:

Wow, 2012.

[ID: tumblr post from November 2012, by user drakensberg-blog saying "The reading comprehension and overall common sense in this website is piss poor."

This is followed up by a comment added by user poupon, who jokingly replied "how dare you say we piss on the poor." /end ID]

#tumblr itself #is that where it's from? #I thought it was like a Mark Twain reference or something

this somehow delights me.

WHEN ON PERIOD:

A spoon's only objective in life is to make soup go upwards, and it knows this. That's why when you put one under a running tap it blasts the water way high. The spoon thinks there's suddenly TONS of soup to deal with and it freaks out.

OP I want you to know I think of this post every single time I have to wash a spoon.

Ok, I adore the Frogs to begin with, but the sheer finesse and dedication of this one boggles my mind.

me: this is cute and precious

my brain: 45 years ago this person could've made a public access television show that ran for half a decade on the strength of this concept with the right framing device and it would've been paid for with federal arts grants and maybe even national syndication rights. now they're begging for a single minute of engagement on tiktok in the hopes that maybe someday the abstract metrics of digital media platforms will translate into a tangible career

me: yeah me: cute frog though

my brain: it is a cute frog

that’s a whole man.

you can't leave off the photo the sawmill worker took of the kiwi

Imagine this whole post in the TikTok text to speech voice.

That took me until the very last image to realize.

tell me my prof didn’t upload the reading by photocopying his kindle reader page by page
