saw a post saying that New Yorkers force their kids to learn to play the recorder in school because they’re secretly looking for one that will be able to solve their rat problem. I can’t stop thinking about it

I know that Ea-nasir is like a meme these days but it is wild that we have complaint letters from 1750 BC. That's over three thousand years before the release of Belgian techno anthem "Pump Up the Jam".

opened up ravelry to look at patterns and the very first thing i saw was

The Garment by Robert Cole

Someone said “The slow burn of becoming yourself” and I think that might be one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. It’s such a good reminder of how much it takes, how much character development, how much change, and beauty and courage it takes to reach your soul and I hope no one ever gives up on becoming themselves because it’s a never ending journey that only gets better.

Someone asked me a while ago if I still had a photo of the worst sink I had ever seen while apartment hunting in Los Angeles. I assumed I deleted it so I didn't answer the ask and now it's gone, but as it turns out, yes, I do still have a photo of it.

obsessed with this bookshop in stratford-upon-avon having WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE listed as a ”local author”

the thing about Tangled is that this is a story geared towards little girls (even if it's "fun for the whole family," it's a disney princess movie, it's geared towards little girls), and it says, "here is a girl who is naive and doesn't know anything about the 'Real World' or how to navigate it safely and correctly. now pay close attention: the good guys are the ones who help her grow and explore new things while still respecting her own perspective and feelings, not making her feel stupid. the bad guys are the ones who tell her that she is too weak/immature/naive to do the things she wants to do, because she is fragile and needs protecting." and I watched this when I was nine years old and it resonated deep in a part of me that I couldn't articulate with words yet.

american blackbirds are icterids but european blackbirds are thrushes but american robins are thrushes but european robins are flycatchers and they are named robin because (checks notes) brits in the 1400s called them "robert" on account of they are just some familiar guy who shows up in your yard. hold on post canceled is that really why they are called that? what the fuck. they did this with jackdaws and magpies too? i can't even be annoyed. how human. "who's that? that's bob." fuck dude it sure is.

Me trying to say something to my partner about some cool fanart I just saw on my dash.

Him: back up back up, what the FUCK is Mouse Effect.

[lizardsexposed]

[hollowedskin]

Lizardsex I love you...

The burning question of course is whether everyone is mice, or just the humans. Like are the salarians little frogs or is it Mice and Mice With Blue Tentacles???

[lizardsexposed]

sorry im absolutely too floored by the fact you just called me 'lizardsex' to give you an answer

[hollowedskin]

... I see now your name is probably Lizards Exposed and not in fact Lizard Sex Posed.

This exact phenomenon is why there’s now a hyphen in my url.

I'm part of a elite team who is the government and we go around making sure all little objects and creatures are in line with gods creation becauuese you see a stone has to worship AS A STONE and not another thing like say a frog or a dark alien and it's our job to use special psycho guns that alter the auras of stuff with special bullets that are kind of like prayer wheels you know how they sprin through the air yeah it's kind of like that and all of us are bad people and I have an eye patch and the criminals want to shoot me in the head with normal guns
