my favourite part of queer eye is in the first 10 minutes where they instantly start dragging the guy & invade his home & start wearing random shit they find in the house

[weirdmonsterling]

my body may be a temple but i am the god to whom it is devoted

do not presume to tell me how i may decorate my altar

[diviningtheway]

This is quite possibly the best way I’ve heard to say “I dress how I want, deal with it” There needs to be more things like this

[fail-boat]

My foster kitten

[fail-boat]

[fail-boat]

to steal

[fail-boat]

my beer.

[lilragekitten]

Guys… 

Please… 

turn the sound on and watch my friends foster kitten yell at her because she won’t let her develop an alcohol addiction. 

I love Jocelyn the kitten. 

[fr0g-queen-deactivated20240709]

i want to run away…but like in ghibli movie. like i take a block of cheese a loaf of bread and some apples and wander through the flower-specked mountains wrapped up in a shawl and i happen to wander into a moving castle and fall in love with a cute wizard

me (deep in the woods, dragging dufflebag of Kraft Singles™  and hopelessly lost): where’s totoro

[kayforpay]

history fucked me up

oxford was built and operational as a college before the rise of the mayans and cleopatra lived in a time nearer to pizza hut’s invention than to the pyramids being built

[kayforpay]

I need a noncomprehensive history book that covers Known World History in time periods, like “in this century, all this shit was happening concurrently” and not just all spread out so I have to piece it together like some unpaid uneducated scholar

[unclebeanbag]

Mongols were fighting Samurai in Japan and Knights in Europe at the same time. 

Star Wars a New Hope came out the same year as the last execution in France by Guillotine. 

Abraham Lincoln and Edgar Allen Poe were friends in their early 20′s. 

When the Great Pyramids were being built there were areas that still had Woolly Mammoths roaming.

Harvard University didn’t teach calculus in its first few years after being established because calculus wasn’t invented yet.

“chuffed doesnt mean what you think it means”

it means exactly what i think it means its just some stupid word that literally has two definitions that mean the opposite thing

[mysterysnake-deactivated2013122]

what the hell

[ashwilliamsrighthand]

This makes me really chuffed

[pameladoove-deactivated20180821]

This post is quite egregious

[cornflakepizza]

Well I’m nonplussed by this whole post.

And you wonder why i am boggled at times

[inactive1346597623595641352]

These are called contronyms! A word that is its own opposite.

[rubes-dragon-deactivated2024030]

Why the fuck do these exist

[operativesurprise]

One theory is that the sarcastic use of the word became exceedingly prevalent and because another dictionary definition. 

[sufferingsappho-deactivated2017]

Are you telling me that we were such sarcastic shits it literally changed our language.

[nigenaide]

speaking as a linguist: yes. that is exactly what happened. isn’t it beautiful.

[sapphic--moon]

it just occured to me that I always subconsciously thought that Stephen Hawking was going to live forever

[toxicmp3]

if he has abs he doesnt care about you

[toxicmp3]

men with abs aren’t capable of love

[barbedwirebutterfly-deactivated]

This is BULLSHIT, Dwayne Johnson is jacked as fuck and I FULLY FUCKING BELIEVE he is one of the most LOVING MEN IN THE ENTIRE WORLD

[shit-villagers-say]

I was on board with the first part until I read that and honestly you’re right nobody has more love in their heart than The Rock

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

That’s because he contains all the love that isn’t in other men with abs. He got it all and he stores it in his giant pecs.

PSA for anyone visiting Washington DC

Our zoo is free

People always seem surprised by this when they visit DC. I’ve lived in the area my whole life, so I just wanted to make sure you knew

The zoo is free

Go to the National Zoo and look at some lil pandas or lions for free

Every time I visit another city, I’m like, ‘Why does your zoo cost money?’

Come visit Washington DC. Our zoo is free.

And so are all of the Smithsonian museums

[librariansofshield]

And so is the Library of Congress. And the National Archives.

[cc-kouga-blog]

I’ve only shaved thrice for the past 5 years and one of them was because i had to do surgery

You are at a New Years party. At midnight, a mysterious stranger kisses you. They whisper in your ear, “Let’s try this again” then disappear. You look at the date; it’s January 1st, 2017.

Places where reality is a bit altered:

[solareveille]

playgrounds at night

rest stops on highways

deep in the mountains

[ghostfiish]

early in the morning wherever it’s just snowed

trails by the highway just out of earshot of traffic

schools during breaks

those little beaches right next to ferry docks

bowling alleys

[genesisdoes-moved]

unfamiliar mcdonalds on long roadtrips

your friends living room once everybody but you is asleep

laundromats at midnight

• any target • churches in texas • abandoned 7/11’s • your bedroom at 5 am • hospitals at midnight • warehouses that smell like dust • lighthouses with lights that don’t work anymore • empty parking lots • ponds and lakes in suburban neighborhoods • rooftops in the early morning • inside a dark cabinet

[ringingofraevolution]

galeries in art museums that are empty except for you 

the lighting section of home depot

stairwells

[doomgeneration1995]

•hospital waiting rooms •airports from midnight to 7am • bathrooms in small concert venues

[midtownsparker]

I just got the weirdest feeling I swear

[the-crepes-of-wrath]

OK LISTEN THERE ARE REASONS FOR THIS!!!

A lot of these places are called liminal spaces - which means they are throughways from one space to the next. Places like rest stops, stairwells, trains, parking lots, waiting rooms, airports feel weird when you’re in them because their existence is not about themselves, but the things before and after them. They have no definitive place outside of their relationship to the spaces you are coming from and going to. Reality feels altered here because we’re not really supposed to be in them for a long time for think about them as their own entities, and when we do they seem odd and out of place.

The other spaces feel weird because our brains are hard-wired for context - we like things to belong to a certain place and time and when we experience those things outside of the context our brains have developed for them, our brains are like NOPE SHIT THIS ISN’T RIGHT GET OUT ABORT ABORT. Schools not in session, empty museums, being awake when other people are asleep - all these things and spaces feel weird because our brain is like “I already have a context for this space and this is not it so it must be dangerous.” Our rational understanding can sometimes override that immediate “danger” impulse but we’re still left with a feeling of wariness and unease. 

Listen I am very passionate about liminal spaces they are fascinating stuff or perhaps I am merely a nerd. 

[sp1ne-sh0t]

I, for one, appreciate your passion for liminal spaces and thank you for explaining it to the rest of us.
