so what if I sucked his dick. his knuckles were split and bloody from defending my safety and my honour what else was I supposed to do

the tragedy of tumblr is you will inevitably meet people who you should be having a sleepover with. you should be rolling around on their floor and rummaging through their fridge and watching shitty movies with. you should be shopping with should be going out to a cafe with should be wandering through the aquarium with. people who you should be experiencing quotidian joys with... and you cannot! because they live one million miles away

while they share a similar base flavor, dick tastes more umami while pussy tastes more acidic, though recent menstruation conveys an overwhelming metallic flavor that some diners object to (though i am not one of them). recommended wine pairings are

It's crazy to think that I have complete control over my characters. I can't make them do anything. I'm like a god who gave their creations too much free will, and now they've teamed up with the Winchesters and refuse to follow my big plan anymore!

i fucking hated your shoelaces this entire time

Lovelies, the beautiful @biteofcherry sent me this prompt.

You decide to get a degree in something you've always dreamed of, but starting classes late in your 30s is a bit scary - you expect all young people, difficulties to fit into the group and studying with a brain tired after work.

What you don't expect is to find a kindred soul with similar worries. Bucky Barnes is definitely older than anyone in the class and battles his own anxious thoughts.

You find company in each other. And, with time, maybe something more.

What is Bucky studying?

Horticulture (growing things with his hands instead of being forced to destroy)

Cognitive Neuroscience (understand the brain supporting mental processes)

Linguistics (strips away the "mission" context of languages he has learned)

History (he is part of history yet has missed large chunks of it)

Mechanical Engineering (design and understand systems and devices, like his arm)

Remaining time: 10 hours 20 minutes

I voted mech engi because of TFA and his love of science but let's be real. Man is majoring in general studies and sampling the smorgasbord of science, history, and literature.

He's a nerd. He read The Hobbit. In 1933. When it came out.

don't go on indeed dot com at 2am they start showing you the job listings for gnomes and talking squirrels

[colerambles]

So what you're saying is I need to go on indeed dot com at 2 am for the good jobs.

always some new bullshit in the ocean

[local-demon-in-your-area]

Why is it always orcas or dolphins

Why can't a salmon do some bullshit for once

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

worry not ☝️ they're doing coke

[imtryingmanimreallytrying]

Quite interesting actually, i read about this and its not just coke that the salmon are doing. After using cocaine, HUMANS digest it into a whole other chemical to which the salmons are exposed to through water waste and that chemical is what is making the salmon swim farther than usual

legit the best advice i can give you: feed your friends

any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don't have to choose what it is if they can't make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you're just gonna make food happen at their house.

friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.

someone's relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.

buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.

pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that's what they want.

people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.

legit i do this all the time, and it is 100% always appreciated. i have taught all my friends that when something happens, we feed each other. it makes people feel extremely cared for, and I cannot recommend it enough.

[sandersstudies]

Right after I reblogged this I found out a friends’ mom was hospitalized — this is such a good reminder

If you can, provide disposable plates/utensils and save them from doing dishes — when my husband was diagnosed with cancer, bulk paper products were our most appreciated gift

[daysleftofsecondterm]

the best thing about the internet is that you can do this even if you aren’t close- if your buddy lives in idk Japan, you can find their favourite takeout place and have them send food to their house. You can order a pizza for someone in Guam while living in Minnesota. There are no limits. Feeding your friends is unleashed.

The harvest mouse (German: Zwergmaus, dwarf mouse) is the smallest mouse species living in Germany, with adult individuals weighing only about 4 grams. Its habitat are areas with dense and high herbaceous vegetation. In the summer, they don't dig holes, but they sleep in ball-shaped coccoons woven from grass blades hung up high in the vegetation. They have a prehensile tail, which they use as a "fifth limb" for climbing.

what is THE worst thing you've ever drank. all liquids acceptable. please tell me what it was, bonus points for why

[carby]

Hey whoa hi. Hello. I am looking directly into your ear canal. What do you mean you drank a tube of virus concentrate.

[whyamiherewhosummonedme]

So, I was working in a lab, right? My job in the lab was preparing a pure, concentrated enough sample of virus. This is tricky since, y'know, viruses require hosts to replicate, but you then need to get the host cells (and the pieces of the host cells that died!) out of the sample while still keeping the viruses. Once I'd finished and the samples had been sent to the database for analysis as well as a second one sent to be frozen for future reference, there was still some left over that needed to be disposed of.

I, knowing that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, waited carefully for the lab director to be deep in conversation with someone else on the other side of the laboratory. And then I took my chance.

Test tubes, as it turns out, are really bad as shot glasses. Their shape turns any liquid inside into a stream, so you really can't knock it back quickly - it takes a couple seconds. Additionally, the best way I can describe the taste of virus concentrate was "sterile rot". A very unique kind of bad! Made worse by the test tube's inefficiency as a shot glass.

(by the way we were studying bacteriophages, not animal viruses. these viruses are too specialized on attacking prokaryotes to even recognize our cells as targets at all, according to studies.)

(but also like. if the viruses managed to successfully switch hosts and killed me with a violent infection, itd still be worth it.)

(for science.)

You have a fitting blog title

This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

Translating this into tumblr's preferred public service announcement format for this kind of alert:

[solarpunk-nightbird]

Do the kids these days know that the traditional payment for "having your friends help you move" is "order everyone pizza after"?

Feed your friends. Feed your loved ones. Feed the people who help you. Feed your neighbors. Feed your community.

Seriously though, with a lot of people, especially friends, you shamelessly and blatantly trade pizza / food for help and labor <3

I am cordially inviting all of you to post this in the comments/reblogs of any and every Al post you come across, on any platform. Especially useful for accounts who “teach” people how to use Al.
