Hi! Croatian here. As an inland country, I found a job processing uranium. We have a lot of it.

Why is it on Tumblr Mobile™ you can close the app and open it 3 days later and still be on the same spot of your dash, but then other times you switch out of the app to respond to a text, and when you immediately come back, it’s gone, your family is gone, your house is gone, your dignity is gone.

when I was 14 I worked in a grocery store and one day I got to bag Stephen King’s groceries and of course, being the little horror fiction nerd I am I was completely starstruck

I think he thought I was gonna ask for an autograph because I was not even lowkey staring I was full on moon-faced and bouncing and he kept looking over at me hesitantly like aw jeez kid fuck off

anyways I finally managed to squeak out that I was a huge fan and asked for advice on writing, “how do I write as well as you do?” in my horrible thick German accent and broken ass English and he gave me the best writing advice I have ever received

“shit kid, stop worrying about how other people do it and just write your story”

14 years later my wife and I nearly hit him with our car because he was jaywalking

“i don’t like either candidate so i won’t vote” what are you thinking, if enough people wuss out we’re going to have President None Of The Above? hey we’re counting the votes and ten percent of voters stayed home and jerked it to their own ideological purity, guess we just won’t have a president and all the executive level decisions will be made by a magic 8-ball for the next 4 years

lmao on the edinburgh zoo site it says “there is a daily penguin parade at 14:15 but it may be cancelled last minute as it is a voulntary parade, we do not coax the penguins with food, and they may not want to go out” lmao anarchopenguinism

[cannibality-deactivated20250227]

this is the cutest goddamn thing i’ve ever heard

[livenudegirl]

I saw the penguin parade. It was a very slow parade, because the pingüinos take their sweet time and aren’t very fast walkers to begin with.

Why You Should Always Wear Your Helmet.

[singerrrsongwriterrr-deactivate]

PSA: never put stickers on your helmets (unless you have checked with the manufacturer) because the adhesive can weaken the structure!

If you need to evacuate hurricane Florence or you are staying put

Pick a town now and let hotels know you are evacuating from Florence. This works for every problematic hurricane. It usually doesn’t matter how many indoor pets you have, it just depends on the hotel. Most hotel brands will accept more than 2 dogs and cats for hurricane evacuees.

If you have horses and cows and you are on the outskirts, remember the last cat 3 that hit florida to the carolinas? A mass death of farm animals died from flooding and wind. Help them get to higher ground and better land by asking farms in out of evacuation zones to let you use their land to keep your animals.

Hurricane Florence is a CAT 4 by the time it reaches not land, but the warm waters off our coast. It will only gain more energy the longer it stays on the water. There is always a possibility for a CAT 4 to experience CAT 5 symptoms like wind, rain, and surging without becoming a CAT 5. If you are staying put, stay put in your house where the walls are strongest. Make sure you are near the safest bathroom in case of inner storm tornado activity or structure failure. Keep all leashes on you and pets near you. If you have pets that will hide, block off their access to their hiding places. Keep their stuff just as accessible as you will your stuff.

BUY WATER NOW. BUY HURRICANE FOOD NOW. BUY BATTERIES. GET A FLASHLIGHT. DO ALL OF THIS NOW. If you are in a possible flood zone and have a small enough raft that will fit out windows, KEEP IT ON THE HIGHEST FLOOR OF YOUR HOUSE. If you are in an apartment complex in a flood zone, you need to leave. No acceptions.

Park your cars somewhere with cameras like a bank parking lot. They’ll be safer if you have trees near your home. If you have a boat in your driveway, MOVE IT AWAY.

If you have the ability, slice trees near your place that have you worried.

KEEP ALL DOORS SHUT TO BEDROOMS. If a window breaks, the pressure won’t change the rest of the house this way.

Take your pets outside on a leash when you feel it is safe enough for all of you. The eye of the storm is good for this but that can be a days worth of rain and wind. The wind isn’t always constant. Keep an eye on it and get them down there on leashes as soon as you hear it stop. You will hear the wind coming back before you see it or feel it. Be close to a door when you do this.

If you have access to a radio, use it. Put it on a station for weather. It’ll warn you of possible tornadoes in the area. A safe key though is anyone in yellow-red-purple on the radar, is in tornado alley. Keep a close eye on the sky. Don’t go to sleep.

I’m serious about shopping now. The stores will run out of food today or yesterday. Get enough water for everyone. Get bandaids too.

Get a full tank of gas too. It will run out quickly and take the gas stations days to come back. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get an extra gallon of gas if you are leaving the area as you will find this on your way out too.

Good luck and stay away from the sea and the miles of where storm surge could occur. If you are on the coast but inland on a marsh, the surge and flooding will affect you. And they will affect you even more during high tide. The marsh can absorb a ton, but it can’t absorb this much.

Fill your bathtubs for extra water and to flush toilets. Freeze water to keep food cool. Document EVERYTHING IN YOUR HOUSE to claim for insurance if necessary. Take all important documents and keep them with you in water proof bags.

this one is most likely going to be more severe than matthew, it’s hitting us as a category 4 so there’s bound to be more damage, get prepared everyone

[masochistic-tendenci3s-blog]

A Message to my Followers who are going to be impacted by Hurricane Florence.

This hurricane is dangerous.

Please, take it seriously.

It is not just a thunderstorm.

Take it from someone who went through Katrina and saw the damage a hurricane can do when it sits and builds.

It changes entire landscapes.

It kills.

Get gas now. The gas stations will begin to either run out, or put a limit to how much gas you can get. Get it now while you can, because I remember distinctly the way the abandoned cars looked on the highway while we were evacuating.

Once that storm hits, the gas stations will shut down. There will be no gas for a week, at least.

You will be stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. Make sure your car is in good working order. The amount of cars left behind on the highway is astounding.

Bring your pets in case of flooding, don’t leave them behind or in a shelter.

Take a picture of every single thing in your house the way it is. Ever dresser. Everything. If it floods, this will help with the insurance.

Power will be out for a week, possibly more. Take anything that will spoil, eat it now/bring it with you/throw it out. You don’t want to come back to a house that is 80°+ inside with spoiled food. It smells disgusting. I know from first hand experience.

Pack as much clothes + whatever else you need as you can. You don’t know what you will be returning to, if anything at all. I hate to say it, but there were so many homes lost in Katrina in mg area to flooding & I didn’t even live in the Soup Bowl.

From what I’ve seen, the outer bands are strengthening. They’re red at this point. This hurricane is getting stronger, and it’s well built. There are no winds to tear it apart. It’s eye is holding together, and that’s terrifying. A well built storm like this one can ruin lives. It’s not a joke.

Please, please stay safe. Evacuate ASAP if you’re in the direct line.

Don’t wait until it is here. That is how you get killed. Do not evacuate in the middle of it. Don’t wait until last minute.

It is always better to be safe than sorry.

Please stay safe.

Listen to the news. Follow their advice.

Leave while you still can, before the highways get clogged up. Go as far in-land as you can. Leave the state entirely if you have to.

We did. And we still felt the effects of Katrina.

Please, stay safe.

This welcome mat converts into a fully accessible wheelchair ramp. Beautiful and functional design. I want it.

[pseudosoph-deactivated20160308]

Some more info, for people who are interested.

[i-need-that-seat]

First of all, I can’t believe this has almost 3,000 notes. I’m so glad that people are sharing this - both as a cool design, and also as an important accessibility feature.

Thanks to pseudosoph for linking to additional info (above) regarding weight limits, lift height, and product background – the creator is a wheelchair user himself! Very cool stuff. Keep sharing!

[accessibilityfails]

This isn’t a fail. Just wanted to share an accessibility win so people can get ideas for improving accessibility

RIP to the thousands of innocent Americans who were killed in the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks.

RIP to the thousands of innocent people in the Middle East who were killed by American imperialism.

RIP to the thousands of innocent Chileans who were killed in a US government-sponsored coup on 9/11/1973 that resulted in a fascist dictatorship.

Stop killing innocent people and start building alternatives to this imperialist capitalist empire that subordinates the needs of people to the needs of profit. We can do better than this.
