i am once again thinking about the fact that they used so much fake blood on hannibal that mold started growing on the bottom of the sets. like that means something right
anyway i looked up the post about seeing your grandma's boobs and tumblr has deleted the screenshot of the story where the finnish dude says that americans are "like that" because they haven't seen their grandma's tits
my comments on that post were (sorry for shamelessly copy-pasting them):
american attitudes about nudity are fucking wild, and the worst part is that because they're american, they just assume that everyone everywhere thinks the same. i will never forget seeing people on a left-leaning, progressive site saying that families bathing together is creepy and gross and clearly a sign that something is wrong with the family, that they'd never seen their siblings or parents naked and would in fact rather die. meanwhile to this day i bathe and go to the sauna with my sister and mother and have been bathing and sauna'ing with various family members - and even strangers! - my whole life.
but yes, can confirm, seeing your grandma's tits as a child does you good, and not just because it teaches you that "beauty is fake and temporary", but because it broadens your ideas about what beauty even is in the first place. my sister and i used to spend our summers at our grandma's house by the countryside and frequently bathed and went to sauna with her. we saw not just her breasts but also her flabby skin, her moles and liver spots, her body hair and varicose veins, and we didn't see any of that as weird or ugly because they were a part of our grandma who we loved very much. and when we see those things in other people - ourselves included! - we think "well it wasn't ugly on my grandma's body, so why would it be ugly on anyone else's body?". it makes you much more understanding and "forgiving", if you will, towards the completely normal bodies of strangers as well as your own body.
[image description: a screenshot of a tumblr ask. An anonymous user says "boobs shouldn't sag like that", and OP replies "what a funny way of admitting that you've never seen a pair of boobs outside of porn"
then, someone else replies to the post with a screenshot that reads
"I always think of one of my co-workers at a husky farm near Inari, who told me apropos of nothing while we were clearing out dog shit together that he thought the reason Americans are "like that" ("like what, Veikka" got the response "you know what I mean") is because "they never see their grandma's tits." His logic was that "in Finland, you go to the sauna with your grandma from when you're a baby, and you see her naked, and this is years and years before you ever see any porn, so you know before you see any of it that it's temporary and fake. And when you get a girlfriend later, you know it's only a matter of time before her tits look like that too, you accept this. And Americans don't know that! They don't! They look at porn, and then they get a wife, and then they're surprised and bitter when she gets old - it's true!"
Like, to be clear, I think Veikka's analysis might have been missing more than a bit of nuance, this is the same guy whose motto was "Driving 600km south to Rovaniemi to get therapy is expensive, chopping wood till you don't care about it anymore is free", but I do occasionally still look at some British or American take online and think to myself, in his voice, "they've never seen their grandma's tits""
you used to be able to go onto a tag after finishing a movie and see all sorts of gifsets. now you have to comb through reader insert fanfiction. we used to be a society
hello physically disabled person reading this. it is not your fault that your medical supplies are made from a lot of single use plastic and you can continue using them guilt free. your health comes first. thank you for existing.
if your insulin pump has lithium batteries and the tubing is plastic,
if your ostomy bags, incontinence supplies, and sanitary wipes are single-use,
if your joint replacement, bone plate, pins & screws, or spinal hardware is cobalt & chrome,
if your meds come in a plastic container you can’t recycle or reuse for sterility,
you are still innocent. you didn’t choose this particular life. we all must do what we can to survive and that includes using technology and consuming resources. it is only human and we all do it.
some people out there own several yachts and don’t ever consider the impact it has on the world. there’s nothing to be gained by beating yourself up for doing the bare minimum for a comfortable, livable, safe & long life.
Just want to add, don’t cut corners. Don’t risk your life when there are people who could do a lot more without risking theirs.
Don’t reuse the syringe. Don’t use cloths over alcohol swabs. Choose the battery powered device over the rechargeable if it means you can carry spares. Don’t use the reusable container if you can’t get it open. Don’t choose the reusable option if you can’t keep it clean. Don’t overfill the sharps container. Don’t improvise the tourniquet. Don’t eat the expired food if you can’t afford to be sick. Don’t choose the sustainable option if it doesn’t meet your needs.
Your life is not others’ priority so it has to be yours.
Hi I work in sustainability, specifically with regards to rules and regulations around waste disposal and recycling and the #1 rule is that your health and safety as a human person comes first
There’s a lot said in the news and in activist circles about your personal carbon footprint but BP came up with that to deflect responsibility for their various and horrifying behaviors and to make us turn on each other. You know what’s more dangerous to marine life than straws? Literal tons and tons of commercial fishing nets abandoned in the ocean, and the microplastics and forever chemicals dumped by corporate manufacturers and oil companies
YOU the person, the individual, have to live, and whatever that takes? That’s good. That’s a good thing, because it means we get you in the world. Use your medical equipment, your medications, your AC, whatever you need
You physically cannot do the damage of a fleet of oil tankers or a fracking company, even a thousand or a hundred thousand disabled people cannot do the damage of someone with a personal jet
You aren’t doing anything wrong, something much bigger than you is trying to trick you into hating yourself so that you don’t hate them
Actor Jonathan Joss was just murdered for being gay and married to a trans man. On the first day of pride 2025. He was best known for playing John Redcorn on King of the Hill.
I had no idea he was gay but he was married to a man named Tristan Kern de Gonzales (on valentines day 2025!)
They lived in San Antonio Texas where his family is from and he grew up. He was 59.
In Janurary 2025 his home was burned down which made news. It killed some of his beloved dogs. He didnt elaborate beyond he believed it was arson (gofundme is still up and i suggest donating to help his funeral costs and his husband
We are raising funds to support Jonathan Joss, the beloved voice… Logan Kostroun needs your support for Help ‘King of the Hill’ Actor Jonath
Update: de Gonzales says hes fine he just wants justice but i still think its nice)
Now we know he and his husband had been threatened by several neighbors for being queer. They told pigs, pigs being pigs did nothing before or after it happened.
Yesterday Joss and his husband went to check their mailbox wherein they found one of their dogs skulls (statement from his husband
)
As they weeped and mourned in shock, a neighbor, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, came out and aimed at de Gonzales…but Joss jumped in front of the bullet and was instantly killed.
Ceja, homophobia murdering coward, tried to take off but de Gonzales had called pigs who vaguely tried to do something. He was arrested and his bail set for $200k. Or as my sister said who the fuck sets bail for a murderer?
San Antonio.
De Gonzales is clearly mourning, posting pics on Hoss’ fb page. This one really struck me
This is why we need pride people, and not rainbow capitalism. Please donate to the gofundme and let san antonio cops knows what you think. De Gonzales said multiple neighbors had threatened them…id like to see those people investigated for arson.
Go into pride with rage and knowing. Have joy, kiss puppies, dont bow to homophobes. And maybe enjoy a little king of the hill.
UPDATE
Jonathan Joss’ husband Tristan kern de Gonzales identifies as trans on his facebook page.
Which explains the ramp up of hate and why the murderer shot at de Gonzales (Joss pushed him out of the way). So this is also a transphobia related murder
You guys, I hear people complaining all the time about the fandom dying. And it is the same people who are complaining about the fandom dying who stop writing or put their blogs on hiatus (or delete them), which is contributing to the fandom actually dying!
The TLK fandom has always been a small fandom, and that is one thing about it that is charming and wonderful! The stuff that the TLK fans post never gets a lot of reblogs or comments but that is pretty normal. I see new people popping up all the time in the tags and I know that there are people still invested in this series.
Rather than complain about the fandom dying and leave, please consider reblogging and commenting on the posts you do see in the tags, community, and source blog. Read fanfic and leave comments for the fic writers both here on Tumblr and on AO3. Learn how to make gifs if you have the time and energy, but even if you don't it is really wonderful if you can reblog the ones that are being made. There is still a strong group of giffers who are still actively making gifs and edits for TLK and posting regularly. Sharing their creations ensures many more people will see them; if no one reblogs, no one will see them!
Interacting with the people making content and making your own content is the only way to actually keep the fandom active. Just because this show has been over for a few years does not mean it has to end.
people with tooth decay aren't bad people. they aren't lazy either. neither are they unclean or irresponsible. tooth decay doesn't make you a bad person. you don't deserve mockery, judgement, or tooth pain for having any. the only thing people with tooth decay deserve is healthcare.
Dental engineer here. Everything about this is true. I’ve seen 20s something needing a full teeth set up. Even though they have no reason to tell us, one of them explained their whole medical history so we “don’t think he has a bad hygiene or something”. Boy even if it was the case we would do it. Some people breaks teeth during sport, some have medical condition that affects their gengival blood distribution (ir anything really), some have mental disorders that makes them forget or are totally unable to brush their teeth, and that’s okay.
getting out of tracks about the og post, but I want to say it: it doesn’t matter if your tooth decay is because of one cause or another (which includes “bad” hygiene to me) you don’t deserve mockery or pain. Every body is different and some has issues with a “too good” hygiene (had cases of gengival loss due to too much teeth brushing) and that’s okay.
Every single case of tooth issues deserves care and help.
Imagine being JD Vance, who makes such a huge part of his personality being catholic. The pope himself takes time to lecture you on compassion then promptly DIES. The pope uses one of his last hours on earth to tell you that you suck at your religion on EASTER. And then DIES. Anyway RIP Pope Francis
