i think itās really funny when fandom people make fun of nonfandom people for not recognizing a fandom url. shit like ājackstanifoldā or āstrifesuccubusā or āhobocopā are not immediately recognizable as fandom references dude
āhow did you not immediately recognize tumblr user ābigbluesoupā as a fandom reference šā girl how was i expected to.
anyways put in the tags if you have a fandom url and how recognizable you think it is
yeah iām sorry.
i LOVE some of the things my favourite streamers always say :) when tommy goes āguys, guysā and phil goes āWHATā and ranboo goes āmhm :]ā and phil goes āaw mate/thanks mate/hi mateā and when wilbur points and goes ālil baby! lil baby man!! lil baby!ā and quackity goes ālets go lets go lets go heheheā and when dream goes āWHAATā and when techno goes ābruhā and when
I hate that I could hear absolutely all of these in my mind
Thinking about how this show on a major TV network has big strapping boys who:
Are attentive dads
Cry
Go to therapy
Hug
Express their emotions
Like, that's dope.
You keep doing your thing, 9-1-1
This is what Rasputin would've wanted.
I feel like I'm being seduced like one of those fancy rainforest birds
is it working
Yes
@ajsoot HEāS BACK
I love him @thegremlinofransei
Me ālive bloggingā The Walking Dead day 2.
Spoilers. Duh.
Episode Six part 2
Daryl and Carl bonding is adorable and Iām crying
Merle is a dick. Would gladly kill him. Hope Michonne does. Or Daryl. Heās also a dick for killing that poor kid. He was just trying to be good.
So it just occurred to me that Rick is slowly having a break down and he is probably hallucinating the phone calls and itās upsetting me low key. I need him to be a dad to Carl and Little Asskicker
Maggie and Glenn are so cute.
Michonne found Glenn and Maggie! And so did Merle fuck. Heās a manipulative dick
Michonne please donāt let them kill Maggie. Or take Glenn. Iām worried about them. Michonneā¦..
The formulaā¦. Baby Girl needs that.
He didnāt kill Carol. He couldnāt have. (By he I mean the walker)
He is hallucinating them. This sucks. Iām sorry Rick. Itās okay man. Just get better for the baby and Carl.
Rick is there for the baby and Carl.
Michonne is at the prison!! I love her good job!!
Episode Seven
Merle is a dick congrats dude. Iām gonna kill him with my bare hands.
Glenn is a badass I love him. You go dude.
Michonne trust them a little bit. Please.
Daryl donāt be a dick. Please donāt make them hurt her.
Michonne baby just trust them a little. I promise they are good people. Good girl. I hope they can save Glenn and Maggie.
Merle knows about Andrea. He knows that Glenn is lying. This is bad.
Carl is so cute. Judith is cute and heās so sweet to want to name his little sister.
The governor scares me. Hate him. Andrea is seeing some sketchy things and Iām not chill with that.
Yea I hate this. He super sketch. Is this the governors dad? Iām so confused by this.
Merle did you really make a Chinese food joke about a walker eating Glenn?? Dick move man.
I repeat my earlier statement. Glenn is a badass.
Governor is a dick and I love Maggie. Iām so sorry hun. I wish I could run him over with a bus.
Iām attracted to Daryl and Iām not ashamed to admit that. High key really into his second in command thing.
Little signals and non verbal communicating. Makes me feel good. I love their dynamic, amazing.
Oh my god brutal but effective. Love it.
Reanimated dead man with prostate cancer. Nice. Good job Andrea. Man was gonna kill some people.
Rick and Daryl and Michonne are a great team 100/10 would recommend
Episode Eight
New survivors are always interesting. Not sure what to think about them though
Oh they found the prison. Yikes.
Andrea you look like his wife. Thatās a red flag in the zombie apocalypse maāam
Damn governor and his zombie child. Yikes.
Is he feeding her? How has she not starved? Oh he is. Yikes that is even worse.
Maggie is awesome but also scared. Iām worried about her. I donāt want her to break down.
Gross Glenn. Thatās really gross. Genius but gross
That guy is a gross pedophile. Sheās SEVENTEEN and also gross Carol is not going to be with you you dick.
Badass Glenn and Maggie part 738928271719191119101010191818630
Rick and Daryl and Michonne heard that. They can save them. Please.
āI need youā Rick and Daryl my platonic soulmates. Iāve determined this.
Red flags everywhere Andrea. Listen carefully.
Michonne you badass. Youāre gonna kill his daughter. I love you.
Andrea donāt kill your friends. Also, more red flags with that dick. Just because you are a woman doesnāt mean you canāt be a badass fighter too.
Donāt hallucinate now Rick. Itās not the time.
Carl is a badass kid I love him so much. Heās also compassionate I can totally see him helping the others that wandered in. Good man. He totally is helping them. Love him.
Oh man Michonne found his hall of horrors. All those heads in tanks. And his kid. Hell yea. She doesnāt realize yet. Oh no.
The Governor has a weak spot. His fucking zombie daughter. Oh my god sheās amazing just sword through her mouth like a badass I love Michonne so much.
Oh my god she stabbed him in the EYE WITH ZOMBIE GLASS
Andrea come on. Donāt be like this. Michonne is protecting your family. Yea you see the red flags now. Look at them all. And by flags I mean heads. You see zombie heads.
Carl is a good kid. And smart too.
Michonne and the āterroristsā were trying to get Glenn and Maggie. Not to kill you, asswad
Daryl better be okay cuz Iām not gonna be okay if heās not.
Merle is gonna be killed and Iām HERE FOR IT.
Okay never mind. Donāt kill Daryl do kill Merle. That sounds good.
Episode Nine
Daryl is a badass and I would gladly die for him.
God what a cinematic masterpiece with the smoke and the governor. Fantastic.
Walkers in Woodbury. Fantastic.
Good job Rick. Shut that asshole up.
āYouāre part of that family.ā Daryl baby I love you baby please stay. Platonic glances and friendship and just generally being good partners.
Daryl is gone and Glenn is angry. Iām sorry for that. And maybe Glenn is gone too
Easy Rick. Donāt check out now. Judith needs you.
Iām proud of Andrea. She might be the leader of a ārivalā group, but she could definitely be the good leader and make them a great community without a terrible leader.
The bassinet is labeled Lil Asskicker. Iām gonna cry.
Ricks gonna let them stay. Iām proud of him for taking a risk. Even though heās still kinda crazy. Okay never mind. Man isnāt taking a risk and very much so is crazy
Episode Ten
Crisis mode Rick engaged. We really need Daryl back to help him.
Daryl and Rick are platonic soulmates you canāt change my mind.
Michonne knows heās crazy. Uh oh.
Governor is up to something. Upsetting.
Welcome to me ālive tweetingā The Walking Dead as I watch it, starting with season three. Spoilers. Duh.
Watch me go on a journey of self discovery and simping.
TW discussion of death/zombies and swearing and caps
Day One
Episode One
Michonne with her machete and zombies on leashes āam I attracted to this?ā
Also, Maggie in her rugged survivalist look? Definitely attracted to this.
Holy shit Rick what the fuck??? No hesitation just chop that leg off. Damn.
Episode Two
Carl baby please be careful I love you. Donāt be that way, be safe and donāt put yourself in danger of zombies my dude
Holy shit he just killed the big guy no hesitation why did the prisoner do that??
Also what the fuck Rick??? No hesitation again machete to the brain. Mans is badass and also scary. Also locking that other prisoner outside with the walkers??
Carol is a badass and I love her. She definitely was able to grow into an amazing character despite her hardships. Iām glad she is taking it upon herself to learn how to take care of the baby and make sure she can have the baby safely.
I just jumped out of my skin Hershel please donāt scare me like that???
Maggie is so pretty oh my god
Walkers are gross.
Is that michonne and Andrea watching? Whoās watching her cut open that girl?
Episode Three
Helicopter crash? People still using a helicopter? In contact with people?
Andrea is really sick. Iām worried about her.
Also, definitely attracted to Michonne with her machete.
Oh gross but also awesome that dude is chopped in half
OHHH TRUCK whoās that?? Is it our boys? Nope not our boys. Yikes these guys sound scary. Yep totally scary. They killed the survivors. Yikes. I hope Michonne knows what she is doing.
Is that Darylās brother?? Merle?? Totally is!! Too bad heās a dick
Government experiments? This is what Iām thinking.
The governor makes me uneasy. I donāt like him. Michonne doesnāt either, which makes me think sheās right.
Michonne has this really sexy kinda wild woman look. Almost feral, half tamed. Itās so attractive oh my god
The governor just totally shot and killed all of those military men. What the actual fuck??? This show has more plot twists than zombies, and thatās saying something.
Heās a manipulative bastard fuck him. Creepy ass man with heads in tanks in his creepy as room.
Episode Four
Why are we luring walkers inside?? Whoās doing this? Is this gonna hurt my boys?
Rick is kinda dark in this. I donāt know how to feel. I really like Daryl though. Heās easily my favorite.
Merle is a huge dick. Holy shit. Anybody he vouches for is automatically not a good person. Except Daryl.
Who the fuck is trying to kill the prison? Iām not happy with this.
Maāam now is not the time to be having a baby. Of course she would have a hard labor. Maāam now is NOT THE TIME TO BE DYING
T Dog is dead and I am crying now thanks
Oh my god itās the crazy prisoner from before. I should have known that would come back to bite Rick in the ass.
Maggie is amazing I would die for her. Literally die for her. Also Carl. Would die for him. I hate that he has to watch his mom die. I hate this. CARL NO DONT DO IT YOU CANT SHOOT YOUR MOM AND BE OKAY
Episode Five
Iām low key pissed at the governor and his āparadiseā cuz Carl deserves better and I will die on that hill
Does he have a walker little girl? Is that his daughter? What the fuck??
My cat is trying her hardest to escape my dorm room because I am gasping so much.
Rick you cannot check out now. Your baby and your son need you.
Okay never mind maybe you can thatās low key kinda hot. Feral Rick is low key kinda attractive. Am I discovering something about myself rn?
Yep Iāve never been more attracted to a woman with a sword before
āThey were family.ā Iām crying. Glenn love.
The Governor can suck my dick. Heās an asshole and a manipulative dickwad.
Oh my god that is genius a walker trap with wind machine and giant pits. Genius.
Daryl being all protective and a good second in command makes me feel some type of way (holy shit I am discovering something about myself)
If there are small children walkers, Iām gonna lose my shit.
Merle is awful and I would gladly run him over with a bus. Repeatedly.
Andrea is seeing what Michonne is seeing. I hate that she was gaslit by that dick. Okay sheās still being gaslit by him. Damn it Andrea just go.
Michonne gives me high key bottom lesbian energy. Donāt @ me Iām right
I donāt want kids and Daryl holding a baby makes me explode a little
āLittle asskickerā is adorable and I love Daryl so much.
The walker got to Lori before Rick did and heās really upset about it and now he is digging in the walkers stomach and Iām not happy with it. Yikes
Daryl is so soft oh my god I love him.
Who tf calls an empty prison during a zombie apocalypse?
Episode Six
Michonne is a badass. āGO backā wrote with a literally zombies arms and legs as the g and o and using a literal torso as back is so funny to me and is ICONIC
Literally a Queen just a badass woman ā¤ļø
Who tf is on the phone? A woman? In Woodbury?
Merle is a dick to everyone. At least heās consistent
Puns in a zombie apocalypse are funny but maybe not appropriate?
Man on the phone is a dick
Is Rick losing his mind? I doubt it, but like maybe. Also Hershel is amazing for an old dude with one leg
Okay I was googling photos of Maggie and Michonne, and like hello pretty women
But then like hello??? Am I more attracted to them or do I want them together??? But like Glenn and Maggie is really cute.

Okay, so my name is not Harry or Sally (or Billy or Meg), and I donāt remember anyone with my name being even remotely connected to this movie in any way, so I have no idea why this popped up when I searched my first name, but there you go. Itās also not the fourth gif that came up, sorry, but the fourth one was just a aerial shot of some well-to-do neighbourhood, which, again, I have no idea how it possibly connects to my name (for example, my name is not Beverly, as in Beverly Hills). š¤·š»āāļø Anyway, this made for a funnier gif in the context of how the year is gonna go.

Can everyone who reads this PLEASE reblog it?!?!?Ā Libraries literally saved my life as a child!
Being abused at home, bullied at school and lost in the world, the library and all the books I could escape to the most amazing worlds, kept me alive!
I would walk to the library, and spend all day, from 10 am to 9 pm reading there!! I got special awards for how many books I read, I wrote little blurbs on why i loved the books (probably why I love to BETA and do ARCs)Ā
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Just hit the green arrows and the reblog!!!
As a 50 year old woman, the library offers me so much. Digital art pads to borrow, 3D printing, book clubs that are face to face (yeah, the introvert likes face to face because a moderator will stomp on anyone getting snarky)
New books in LARGE PRINT! Iām visually challenged and as much as I love my kindle, The feel of a real book in my hands will always be a beloved feeling!
Our library also has quarterly books sales of almost free books!! For 5$USD we get in a day early and can buy as many as we want. Anyone else has to wait and there is a limit for the first 2 days.
Also many, many libraries have inter library loan(it may be called something different). This means if they donāt have the item you want, they can get it for you. This may include photocopy/pdf of articles. This can also include along with books and DVDs, microfilm/fiche which is also a huge resource. Check around for libraries that are listed as depositories if you want to look at government documents.
Remember that many colleges and universities have open stacks for the public. You will likely have to pay a membership fee but you will get to stuff.
I love the library āŗ
The library was one of my favorite places to go as a kid and I still live to go and just. Sit and read. Or do homework. The university Iām at has a massive 8-story one I love to just wonder around in~ Great places
Libraries are amazing places, we need to protect them to ensure their continued existence.
This was meant to be a quick warm up, but it turned into a comic that Iāve wanted to draw for a while. This is something that is extremely important to me, and I appreciate it if you read it.
A while ago, I heard a story that broke my heart. A family went a cat shelter to adopt. The daughter fell in love with a 3-legged cat. The father straight up said āabsolutely notā. Because he was missing a leg. That cat was that close to having a family that loved him, but the missing leg held him back. Why?!
Many people have the initial instinct of ānopeā when they see an imperfect animal. I get it, but less-adoptable does NOT mean less loveable. 9 out of 10 people will choose a kitten over an adult cat. And those 10% that would get an adult cat often overlook ādifferentā animals.
All I want people to do is be open to the idea of having a ādifferentā pet in their lives. Choose the pet that you fall in love with, but at least give all of them a fair shot at winning your heart.
Donāt dismiss them, they deserve a loving home just as much as any other cat. They still purr, they still love a warm lap, they still play, they still love you. Trust me, next time you are in the market for a new kitty, just go over to that one cat thatās missing an eye and see what heās all about!
Let me tell to you a thing.
This is Lenore. I first saw her in a little cage at the Petco I frequent (I used to take my parentsā dog in for puppy play time), and she looked like the grouchiest, old, crotchety cat in the world, and I fell instantly in love. She was cranky, she was anti-social, hanging out at the back of her cage. Her fur was matted because she wouldnāt let the groomers near her.
She was perfect.
But I didnāt have a place for her. I wasnāt living in my own space yet, and where I was, I wasnāt allowed cats. So I pressed my face to the bars of her cage and I promised that if no one had adopted her by the time Iād bought a house, I would come back for her.
I visited her every week for overĀ six months while I looked for a house. At one point, they had to just shave her entire rear-end because the mats of fur were so bad. They told me she clawed the heck outta the groomer that did it, screamed the entire time, and spent the next two days growling at anyone that came near the cage.
A couple of weeks later, I closed on my house. I went back and I got an employee, and I said: āThat one. I need that cat.ā
They got the paperwork and the lady who ran the rescue that was bringing the cats in told me that Lenore (at the time, Lila) was 8 years old, had been owned by an elderly lady who had died, and brought in to a different rescue, whoād had her for six months on top of the time Iād been seeing her at Petco.
This kitty had been living in a 3x3ā cube for over a YEAR because she was older and āless adoptable.ā
I signed the paperwork, put her in a cat carrier, and drove her to my new home. I had pretty much nothing; a bed, an old couch, a couple of bookcases, and a tank of mice I called āCat TVā. I let her out of the carrier and onto my bed, and I told her āI told you I would come back for you when I had a place. Itās not much, but itās yours too now.ā
Lenore spent the next three days straight purring non-stop. She followed me around the house purring. Sat next to me purring. Slept next to me purring. Leaning into every touch, purring, purring, always purring. She still purrs if you so much as think about petting her. Sheās amazing, and I love her.
So, you know, if youāre thinking about adopting, and you see a beast that others consider āless adoptable,ā think about Lenore.
Dangit Iām crying
Crying, too! I donāt care if this is off-topic; itās too important not to share.
As a humane society volunteer I cannot scroll past this. Please, adopt our older animals!
Iām not crying Iām just allergic to love
So two of our cats came from a rescue. We got them as kittens, but this is still relevantābecause people didnāt want them because they have active feline herpesvirus.
Sounds terrifying, right?
Itās actually just the cat version of the virus that gives humans cold sores. Thatās it. They need regular vet care like any other cat, and outside that, we just clean their eyes every day (feline herpesvirus affects the eyes, not the mouth) and give them lysine treats to fend off incoming outbreaks. Theyāre absolute unholy terrors who enjoy stealing yarn, demanding attention, yelling about not being able to catch sunspots on the floor, and being adored as is, of course, their birthright.
They are cats. Not infections. The three-legged cat in this comic is a cat. Not an amputation. A catās personality doesnāt go away with a lack of sight or hearing.
Get to know the āless adoptableā cats. Youāll be surprised what you find.
Absolutely losing it at this Reddit post
And the update
She buttered Jorts
The outrage summed in a perfect Tweet:
Very peeved that ace aro ppl have created a very infinitely useful word for life partnership not bound by sex or romance and y'all just rolled your eyes and went "so friends š" Like well yes but actually, no. Like I guarantee you that most of your close friends would not even ponder being your committed life partner for no reason ššš Like I love my friends and they are the human beings I'm most committed to easily, but if I said yeah let's move in together, tie our finances up together in every way and plan the next few years of our lives together, not just as roommates but considering and sacrificing each other's careers like??? Maybe one would even consider that and the rest would be like "are you smoking crack cocaine?" Like!!! OK y'all passing the point of disbelief if you're saying any odd homie on the street will do that. BUT guess what? If you do have a completely nonromantic nonsexual life partner? Guess what bitch? That's a qpp because that's the coined term. Good night!
reverse āi knew about it before it was coolā. i refuse to consume it until it is borderline irrelevant.
If it is any good, it will still be good seven years from now.
Person with housemates can study.
Person who has spent all their cash on rent and food still has a place to get out of the house and do something interesting.
Cool community classes and community art shows.
ESL tutoring.
Tax prep and forms.
tbh fuck anyone who says a single bad thing about libraries
Not content I normally reblog but libraries are super important and our world would be diminished without them.
The library was how I was able to read so many books as a kid that my parents wouldnāt have been able to afford.
Libraries are one of the only places on Earth that treats people the same no matter how much money you have. We canāt lose that.

Remember when Jeff Bezos, who is worth 181 billion USD donated 690k to stopping Australian fires? Yeah, me too.
McKenzie Scott is literally proof that these fuckers can donate HUGE sums of money to EVERYTHING and still live a comfortable life.... But nooO someone HAS to justify the pitifully small donations the richest men on earth make every year for their tax write-off
Some also important context (this is June 2021, after her second round of grants was announced), as well:Ā
[image description: tweet from Dan Price, the Seattle business owner who doesnāt take a massive salary and pays everybody at his company really well:Ā āTwo years ago, she had $36 billion. Since then, she has donated $8 billion - more than anyone in the world. She is now worth $60 billion. I think people struggle to understand just how fast wealth accumulates for the super-rich. She literally can't give it away fast enough.ā.]
Sheās trying to singlehandedly redistribute the wealth she took back from Jeff Bezos and is failing at it because the economy is built so that wealth travels from the bottom, accumulates at the top, and then stays there. She literally cannot give her money away fast enough.
Think about this. This is our current capitalist economy at work. It is working as intended and designed by those who benefit from it.
Her story is incredibly revealing of how and where the system is failing.
It also means that we can, indeed, tax the hell out of billionaires and they will not suffer at all.
this thread is proof it works
