I have another cat named Chowder and we found him living in our house under a couch. He has the biggest head my vet had ever seen and his tongue is too big for his mouth.
biggest head
Ok you guys can have some more chowder pics
Chowder uses his own massive head as a pillow
Gonna go paint gold betta fish all over my dark green bathroom walls. Posting this as motivation to actually follow through on it.
Progress shot! It’s metallic so it changes with the light a little bit.
Slowly but surely expanding the school!
Added more bettas today! Once I’ve added them all I think I’m going to fill in the gaps with a swirling school of little fish.
Hid the message & two fish behind my husband’s towel to surprise him.
Love this! Bettas are fab. :)
my Local Neighbourhood Squirrel DEADASS just leapt onto my window pane, maybe a foot from where i am sitting and just fucking stared at me with his hands on the glass he violated my privacy and im calling the cops
he stayed like this for like a straight ten seconds
i put it on facebook and one of my best friends just fhkahjlkhaklhjgklhkljhKHKJHKFHSFKJ
You cant get this on any other website
Ah, but yes you can! Ordinary Sausage on youtube has spent years providing content for anyone who'd like to see just what would happen if you made a sausage out of whatever you can think of:
Recently Mr. Sausage has also been putting more time into his non-sausage videos, including stuff like Chicken Boiled in Nuclear Green Kool-Aid and Carbonated Eggs. Check it all out if you aren't prone to being easily grossed out.
should i post the walmart comic
or should i simply wait
If no one responds then I will have no choice
one sec
here it is. the surreal horror walmart comic i made in eighth(?) grade.
8TH GRADE?!?!!?!?

the number of people who have looked at this is officially too large a number
This will never stop being unspeakably beautiful or moving me to tears.
Do you have any favorite examples of bizarre sexual dimorphism in nature?
sure do!
the blanket octopus is a wonderous creature. reaching about two meters in length, the females glide majestically through the tropical south seas, trailing two huge vibrant coattail cloaks of fused tentacle webbing behind them!
they use their brightly-colored cloak as an intimidation factor, tricking predator and prey alike into thinking that they're MUCH bigger than they actually are! look at this, would you mess with this?? I would not mess with this.
the males, on the other tentacle arm, are about an inch long.
*squeaky toy noise*
Medieval scribes writing things like “fuck the abbot” (their boss) and “I am so hung over I feel dead” and “that goddamn cat got in here and pissed on the manuscript” and drawing penis monsters and purposefully unflattering portraits of public figures and animals in the marginalia is funny, yes. But more than that it is so deeply quintessentially human. It reminds you that they were largely just frustrated young adults who did an extremely repetitive and tedious job 6 days a week during daylight hours in poor conditions and felt the same malaise young adults feel now.
I love that these have survived the centuries !
NB those pointing fingers, drawing attention to a pee-stain and an Irritated Clerk Comment about what happened one night in about 1420:
“Hic non defectus est, sed cattus minxit desuper nocte quadam. Confundatur pessimus cattus qui minxit super librum istum in nocte Daventrie, et consimiliter omnes alii propter illum. Et cavendum valde ne permittantur libri aperti per noctem ubi cattie venire possunt.” "This is not an error, but the place where a cat peed from above one night. Confusion to that worst of cats who peed upon this book in the night at Deventer (city in the Netherlands) and because of him, all others likewise. And take care not to let books be open by night where cats are able to get at them."
We once had to bury a book in baking soda for about a week because of a similar incident. 600 years difference, and no difference; cats will do what they do... :->
A neighbor called and said she saw a swarm on a fire hydrant so I grabbed my bucket and ran there as fast as I could. I dabbed some lemongrass oil on the bottom of it and they walked in. After about 5 minutes I just scooped the rest in and bam! Free bees!
I got the queen on the first scoop too though. Apparently she was a new one because she was piping in there really loudly. This is my first personal swarm catch so honestly I’m not sure if that was supposed to happen or not.
What other website am i going to see posts where the op talks about “bam! Free bees!”
I feel this is an appropriate post to retell the time my dad got free bees (found an extra thrown swarm) but didn’t have any equipment to transport them, so he just grabbed the queen in a pint jar, let the other swarm into his Ford Escort, and drove down the highway to home with a swarm of bees loose in the car.
I would honestly die of delight to find someone who watched my dad (~72 white guy) driving down a major Illinois highway with a swarm of bees loose in the car just chillin.
I’m sorry, he’s just like that.
reminds me of receiving this email from my college:
my nephew, who is like 11 or 12, is playing “5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel”, which is exactly what it says on the tin, and I have never been more terrified of the youth of today
here’s a sample picture from the Steam page:

Meet the Birth Centrifuge
Or to use its more accurate name, the Apparatus For Facilitating The Birth Of A Child By Centrifugal Force, patented by George B and Charlotte E Blosnky in 1965.
You wondering "Surely this isn't an elaborate centrifuge where you whirl the patient round and round until you make the baby fly out? Surely?"
That's exactly what it is (and stop calling us Shirley).
As is the format for patent documentation, George B and Charlotte E Blosnky begin by explaining why the world needs a birth centrifuge. Apparently the foetus needs "considerable propelling force" to leave the body. The Blonskys say that "Primitive peoples" have the muscle and skeletal system to supply this while "Civilized Women" do not, so it's a racist birth centrifuge, too.
The way the contraption is supposed to work is this: "When the gynecologist decides that the most opportune time for childbirth has arrived", you are strapped supine to a stretcher at the head, legs and feet. The stretcher is then loaded up into the centrifuge. It then gets spun round and round at an alarming speed until the baby comes out.
The Blonskys are cagey about the appropriate speed at which a foetus would be "dislodged" (their word). At one point they mention around 8gs, then conclude that would probably be a bit much and suggest starting at around 2gs and going up from there.
In a supine position, a human would black out with in a few minutes at 2gs, and quicker at a faster speed. The Blonskys are well aware of this, and that the birth will therefore have to be achieved by centrifuging alone. They don't see this as a problem, because they have supreme confidence in their birth centrifuge.
At this point, we should point out that the speed at which you'd have to centrifuge someone to make their baby fly out has never been tested. It's uncharted science. There isn't really any data to show whether or not, when exposed to particular g-forces, things will go flying out of the human pelvis.
To prove or refute the concept of the birth centrifuge, can any astronauts, pilots or others who have had high-g training tell us if they let out a bit of wee or poo when you were in the centrifuge?
Anyway, enough about the poor soul strapped into this thing. What happens to the baby? Do you have midwives on hand with lacrosse sticks? Don't worry, it doesn't go flying across the room! There's a net to catch it. There's even a little bit of cotton wadding to prevent it being slammed into any machinery.
The net still raises unpleasant questions as a newborn baby's skull bones aren't fused yet so being accelerated into a net probably isn't good for its head.
Also, the Blonskys don't tell us what's supposed to happen to the placenta. Does it slam straight into the baby from behind?
The biggest question, we suppose, is why?
According to the story behind their design, the Blonskys - husband and wife - had visited the zoo and seen an elephant twirling in circles. A zookeeper explained to them elephants do this before giving birth.
Which, by the way, they don't, because centrifugal force isn't necessary for birth.
So maybe it's an elaborate piece of art critiquing the medicalisation of birth rather than a cursed doohickey conceived from zero understanding of the human anatomy. If so, the Blonskys played a blinder, as the patent documentation is delivered entirely straight-faced and with huge attention to detail.
Unsurprisingly, the birth centrifuge never went into production. The achievements of the Blonskys were recognised in 1999 with a posthumous Ig Nobel Prize for Managed Health Care.
You can enjoy the entire patent document here, technical specifications and all.
I want Mythbusters to build and test this. (Not on people. Obviously.)

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.
Various tags on this post like "isn't that venting?" "isn't that kvetching?" and sure it's a subcategory of that. But those are missing the key detail of this specific case which is the "I'm not in the right."
It's the "fuck I'm NOT in the right, I GET that, I WILL be mature about this, I WILL just suck it up, I WON'T take it out on the person who's annoying me because they haven't actually done anything wrong, but by satan's spicy asshole I AM annoyed. So I'm gonna spend 5 minutes in private being a dramatic bitch about it before I get over it and go be a perfectly civil reasonable adult about it."
This is important.
Acknowledge the fact it's okay to be wrong and annoyed about it. Vent the frustration.
Put your adult undies on and be responsible for resolving the issue.

Tumblr should use these as loading images. They have a way better colour gradient.

Some of Van Gogh’s best work was done during a period of his life that he spent in a hospital being treated for his mental health problems. I could be wrong but I think Starry Night was among those.
This is consistently the case. Creators tend to do their best work when they are in a healthy place and receiving proper treatment and not being self destructive in their efforts to cope. Go figure.
All our experiences, good and bad, inform what we create, but suffering is not the price of great art. Suffering is what prevents artists from completing great art.
