I think we should figure out what age we’re living in now so we can say how it’s collapsing to each other

[insomniac-arrest]

Our age of plastics is collapsing

[insomniac-arrest]

Our age of information is collapsing! *remembers generative AI, nods to self* our age of information is collapsing.

can we bring back the term "fair-weather friend" bc I feel like if fair-weather friends got called that more this whole argument about whether or not you should be there for your friends when it's inconvenient/at what point of personal inconvenience it's ok to bail on your friends would kinda fall apart bc like. we literally have a word for "friend who's only there when you don't need something from them" because the baseline expectation is that a friend should be there even when it sucks. like we used to make fun of people for bailing on their friends.

The names of weekdays in Danish sounds all mystical and cool until…

Søndag (Sunday) Day of The Sun.

Mandag (Monday) Day of The Moon.

Tirsdag (Tuesday) Tyr’s Day, the old half-jotun god of law, order, fairness and combat.

Onsdag (Wednesday) Odin’s Day, the old god king of wisdom, magic and warfare.

Torsdag (Thursday) Thor’s Day, the old god of thunder, rain, strength and battle.

Fredag (Friday) Freya’s or Freyr’s Day, the old sibling gods of prosperity, wealth, love and peace.

Lørdag (Saturday) Day of Bath, bath day…

Our ancestors were big into bath time, so I suppose the message here is that self care should be considered sacred and that cleanliness is next to godliness?

Swimming, One Day in August by Mary Oliver

[crabussy]

really fond of humans just from an appearance standpoint. the long legs. the manes of hair that can come in practically any colour and texture. those crazy high-contrast eyes with the white scleras and colourful irises. the fingers being so much longer than the toes. there's a lot to love. solid 10/10 animal species

[devotedgossamerreader]

hey there just out of curiosity are you not human, too?

[crabussy]

hilariously enough, I am probably the most human out of anyone on this entire site. earlier today I was posting about getting "species euphoria" from doing human activities like ecosystem management. I'm the worlds first therian to have a kintype that aligns with his biological species. shirt that says "I ❤️ being a sapient omnivorous primate & bipedal persistence predator" on the front and booty shorts that say "largest gluteal muscles to body size ratio on the planet"

Don't forget throwing stuff! We're the best at throwing stuff in the entire animal kingdom by a wide margin!

Once our ancestors came down from the trees and started careening around on two legs, the specialized forelimb anatomy they had evolved for flinging themselves through the canopy at high velocity turned out to also be pretty handy for hucking sharp rocks at prey from a distance. So we kept that and improved on it over four million years and now Randy Johnson can vaporize a bird with a 110mph fastball from hell. We can easily kill anything without touching it. Our yeetage is legendary. To other animals we must be like some kind of terrifying mythical creature.

The Abominable Throwman, if you will.

I think one of the gentlest things in the world is when a friend just gets your weird little brain. like you say half a sentence and they finish it. you reference something incredibly niche from seven years ago and they’re already nodding. they understand your strange vocabulary for emotions that don’t have real words yet. it’s being seen and known and still loved. maybe especially because you’re known. god. what a gift.

If anyone feels like a failure, just know that two years ago we were offered a book deal by Penguin Random House but did not realise because we never checked our DMs and by the time we finally read the message the offer had expired.

[batshit-auspol]

Two years later we cold emailed penguin and they said we can still write the book. Which is a bit of a problem because now we have to learn how to write a book.
