Hi everybody...

[diphtheria421]

may i ask why you reblogged the same picture 10 times?

It was 1 am, I was drinking ranch dressing out of the bottle, knitting, and having an existential crisis to the enchanting songs of the greatest hits of the 70s and 80s radio station. Can you blame me for reblogging a picture of a guy walking into the sea? That was literally my only goal at the time aside from polishing off the ranch. let me live my life.

you know what this is all anyone needs to know about me so I'm pinning it. hi i'm tumblr user diphtheria420. I can sing you several songs about salmon and knit (examples in my ‘my art’ tag (among other things)) and I am a fiend for heceta head lighthouse 🌊

Organizing the Insects

where have i been so long you ask me i have been going up and down like the devil seeking what i might devour i am hungry always hungry and in the end i shall eat everything all the world shall come at last to the multitudinous maws of insects a civilization perishes before the tireless teeth of little little germs ha ha i have thrown off the mask at last you thought i was only an archy but i am more than that i am anarchy where have i been you ask i have been organizing the insects the ants the worms the wasps the bees the cockroaches the mosquitoes for a revolt against mankind i have declared war upon humanity i even i shall fling the mighty atom that splits a planet asunder i ride the microbe that crashes down olympus where have i been you ask me where i am jove and from my seat on the edge of a bowl of beef stew i launch the thunderous molecule that smites a cosmos into bits where have i been you ask but you had better ask who follows in my train there is an ant a desert ant a tamerlane who ate a pyramid in rage that he might get at and devour the mummies of six hundred kings who in remote antiquity had stepped upon and crushed ascendants of his my myrmidons are trivial things and they have always ruled the world and now they shall strike down mankind i shall show you how a solar system pivots on the nubbin of a flageolet bean i shall show you how a blood clot moving in a despots brain flung a hundred million men to death and disease and plunged a planet into woe for twice a hundred years we have the key to the fourth dimension for we know the little things that swim and swarm in protoplasm i can show you love and hate and the future dreaming side by side in a cell in the little cells where matter is so fine it merges into spirit you ask me where i have been but you had better ask me where i am and what i have been drinking exclamation point

still thinking about this for a tattoo, and not sure the six lines I want will fit just where I want them—but there’s an obvious solution available here. this isn’t an insurmountable problem at all.

Urgent care is a very funny name for it because they do not treat you with any urgency nor do they care

[l0stvegas]

made this same joke on Twitter and got this reply, which the person in question then thought was so profound that they had to retweet their own joke immediately, Which I respect highly

Another fish jacket?! Another fish jacket <3

This time I tried flat felled seams for the sleeves which was fun and it totally didn't almost kill my sewing machine.

wish it was more acceptable to carry around a knife. not in a I'm gonna stab someone way but like what if I need to bushwhack some bushes. or do a little on-the-go wood carving?? many such options but sadly my bum ahh TSA-ized society sees no whimsy and joy in the world.....

[diphtheria421]

also all my friends make fun of me for always carrying my swiss army knife but guess who they turn to when they need a cardboard box opened or a string cut or a bottle opened??? many such cases.
