I've spent days burying my anxiety in the cutest possible outlet. Making red pandas.
This embarrassment of pandas is up on Redbubble. In case this link doesn't work my username is Khalico and I have a bunch of other cute stuff too.
Sales support and delight a lil queer artist and also they're just so cute. Did you know a group of pandas is called an embarrassment? I learned that today.
When I’m brushing Leeloo I will sometimes do something I think of as “making Tyr’s bargain.”
For those who don’t know Tyr was a Norse god who was friends with Fenrir. When the gods realized Fenrir was gonna be part of Ragnorok they were like yo Tyr help us trick Fenrir into being bound. Tyr loved Fenrir but didn’t want the world to end so he went yo Fenrir can we put this cool leash on you? And Fenrir was like bro I love you but this seems shady. If it’s really cool stick your hand in my mouth and I will straight up bite it off if I don’t like what happens. Spoiler alert, he didn’t like it.
Leeloo loves getting brushies except on her tummy and butt where she needs it most. So I’ll give her my hand to lick when I’m brushing those areas. And when I brush too hard she bites the shit out of me and I think ah yes, this is fair. Tyr’s bargain has been struck.
cotton twill jackets my beloved ✨
available in sizes small-3xl with our own unisex size chart! SHOP
I got the salamander jacket from this shop and I cannot emphasize enough how many compliments I get.
I get stopped everywhere and asked where I got it. I’ve strongly considered keeping a QR code on hand to show people.
I had an older lady unable to stop herself from gently touching the embroidered back in the line at the grocery store. I had a customer at work stop talking to my coworker to follow me like I was the candle to her moth. The barista handing me breakfast froze from the sleeve alone to exclaim in wonder.
In short: these jackets will get you so much positive attention and personally it’s the first really cool piece of clothing I’ve had in years that makes me genuinely happy to wear.
Fascinating things that people on Tumblr seem to be unaware of/confused by:
If someone gives advice that's worded as "when no better options are available, [solution] is the best option", it means that doing that particular solution is better than not doing anything. It does not mean that this solution is better than all other options, best choice at all times. All the better options that you can think of that a person should do instead are already implied to be unavailable in the "when no better options are available"-part.
When something is stated in past tense, that implies that this thing is no longer this way at the current moment. "Past tense" means that it happens in the past, which implies that it has stopped happening. If someone says "I thought myself well-educated on the subject", the past tense implies that they are now aware that they were not, in fact, well-educated on the subject. You do not need to tell them this.
A person saying something in passive tense is not stating that they personally do or believe whatever the statement is. Saying "at one point, it was thought", means that there has been, at some point, unnamed other people, who thought this thing, and therefore this has a distinct nuance difference to "I think", which means that the person saying this is also the one thinking it.
The words "common", "most" and "the average" refer to a majority of a population, but not the whole population. That is a different thing than "all" and "everything". If someone says "most dogs have four legs", but you know two dogs who have three legs each, saying so does not disprove the previous person's point, as "most" is a different word than "all". It's a different word that changes what the sentence means.
When someone says a sentence, you should always assume that every word in it is important for the context. If you don't know what a word means, you should look it up to find out what it means, instead of skipping over it and assuming that it isn't important. "Strict and irreconcilable parenting styles are inherently traumatic" means a different thing than "strict parenting styles are inherently traumatic". Adding or removing one word can sometimes change the whole sentence, and you can't just skip the ones that you don't know.
If you are the type of a person who has a hard time understanding concepts like this, and jumps at peoples' throats over things you thought they said, I hope that everyone who fucks you insists on using a condom.
Okay for the sake of clarity I think I need to state this formally: I'm not saying the condom part as an eugenics thing. I don't think your chilren are going to be stupid because you made them. I think they're going to be stupid because you raised them.
One of my favourite parts about autistic people is how you can use other peoples' reflections of them like an echolocation bullshit detector. Like they personally do not need to do shit for this to work, they just passively emit their own autistic vibe that bounces off every surface around them, and you can assess another person's level of self-awareness by how they reflect it back.
"Autistic people do not understand social hierarchy" nope, they understand you're supposed to be an authority here, but they won't politely pretend to respect you if they think you're incompetent.
"Autistic people do not understand humour" nope, they just don't politely pretend to laugh to humour you, and you are simply not funny.
"Autistic people are rude" nope, they just don't think it's polite to lie to you, and don't care about trying to tell you what they think you want to hear instead of telling you what they think.
"Autistic people sometimes have emotional meltdowns for absolutely no reason" nope, you're just insufferable to be around and the person with the lowest tolerance of your shit is simply the canary in the coal mine who breaks first.
Bitter and lonely straight men who feel unloved by women do not seem to understand that women do not love men the way they think women should love men. Women who love men romantically don't love them with admiration, as a wise authority figure or someone they can rely on like children rely on their parents and belivers trust in their god. They love men the same way that they love cats.
Their weird hairy little house gremlin whose thoughts and feelings are occasionally utterly incomprehensible and expressed in strange ways, but who still clearly tries, and still clearly loves. Women love them despite of the home renovations they unpromptedly do.
This is the funniest threat we have ever received.
I welcome my Danish overlords

Bravo also to Robert Eggers for probably the least bad depiction of Transylvania in Western vampire cinematic history:
1. Having actual Romanian actors doing the dialogue in Romanian. You'd think this is a low bar to clear but nope.
2. High quality costume design that looks pretty accurate to 19th century Romanian and Roma peasantry, even down to specific braided hairstyles from the Transylvanian region.
3. Depiction of Roma people but refrains from having them as some typical Hollywood exoticizing role like a magical fortune teller etc. They're in like half a scene, just chilling and playing music in front of an inn.
4. Use of the word "strigoi" which are actual spirits in Romanian folklore, unlike the term "vampire" which didn't exist in Romania.
5. Sorry to the Nosferatu moustache haters, but a Romanian nobleman would have had that exact facial hair.
6. Depiction of religion (nuns, churches) that actually looks like Eastern Orthodoxy and not some vaguely spooky goth Christianity.
Just watched Nosferatu and yes, THIS. The moment the Roma people appeared on screen I was positively surprised by the costume design.
Also in the ship scenes they had actual native Russian speakers and that made me - a native speaker - very pleased. It's nice to see effort in the smallest details.
Patrick Stewart dancing and singing on the bridge of USS Enterprise-D. Originally filmed in 1991 as a birthday suprise for Gene Roddenberry, it wasn't meant for public viewing but a copy was made and later included as a DVD bonus.
Well. I'm alive, and I finally can post full version of this art
My favorite pirate joke is “why does it take pirates so long to learn the alphabet? Because they spend years at c” not because it’s THAT funny but because it’s a relatively simple joke that nobody ive told it to has ever correctly guessed the punchline for because they all think it’s gonna be a joke about arrrr
Another classic is
“Why couldn’t the pirates play cards? Because the captain was standing on the deck!”
For more hilarious pirate jokes like these go to google and type pirate jokes into the search bar and click search
Sorry for the double reblog I just wanted to let everyone know that I told the first joke to my dad and he hung up on me.
new years resolution 2025: do something they can't control or understand
i found this image to be quite inspirational, thus i wish to share it. you don't have to make something phenomenal much less rather something exceptional. you must first put it out there and tweak things later because you cannot build off of something you put nothing into. some day you'll regret never putting yourself out there.
create beautiful, wonderful things.

About ten, fifteen years ago I wrote a story about a guy living in a Capitalist dystopia. His walls, furniture, and tableware are all covered in smart displays. Basically animated wallpaper. It's sold as being able to turn your room or objects into anything - A nice forest view, outer space, a fantasy realm... but the companies that run this stuff keep sneaking ads in.
It gets so bad he's always being woken up by adverts that offer insomnia cures and better bedding that play when he tries to sleep.
So he buys the ad-free tier, and it's great... for a few months. And then he starts getting adverts from 'premium partners'. So he goes up a level... and the same thing happens.
So he jailbreaks his wallpaper and sends all the ad servers to 0.0.0.0 and voila... he can sleep.
Until this SWAT team blows his door off and drag him off to jail. The Ad companies are suing him for loss of revenue for the products he' notionally have bought if he'd watched their adverts, based on some weird 'The average consumer buys X products with an average value of Y' calculation.
The judge is like 'well I dun wanna annoy the sponsors' so he RICO's this guy's house and possessions and sends him to jail.
... which is a nice relaxed non-volent offender jail for the corporately disenfranchised. But because these people have no money... there's no ads and now he's happy because the only place he's free... is in prison.
Which at the time was a bit much and now it's like: Called it.
Elon's suing companies for not advertising because he's losing revenue. He's also cranking the price of Ad Free Twitter. Disney and Amazon play adverts on their paid service when services used to be free because of the adverts... and now you have to pay to watch the adverts or go up a couple of tiers.
And google's going around freaking out about ad-blockers.
OP did it hurt when Apollo's dodgeball hit you and made you write that story?
