wrap it up covid I wanna be in an interactive science museum

if you are in high school and you follow me idc if you learn nothing else from me, but learn this: do not join the fucking military. they will promise you all sorts of things in exchange for joining their muder-system for a few years. do not listen to them. you won’t find a sense of purpose, you won’t find an adventure, you might not even get the money they promise you for college. if you survive, you’ll come back with blood on your hands, feeling just as aimless as before except knowing you’re a killer. the government will drop you like hot potatoes the second you are not useful to them, and you will be on your own with nothing but some ptsd and a more intimate understanding of the phrase “blood for oil.”

They also have a way of targeting POC as well as those who are in a family that isn’t doing well financially. Be wary of any and all recruiters.

If you are assaulted by a superior officer, they will discharge you to protect that officer, and you will get no help.

a humble suggestion for the next time someone wants to take a crack at dracula

hey girl uhhhh did you know that

blobbyland

In case you are unaware

Crinkley Bottom, aka Blobbyland, is an abandoned theme park in Lancashire dedicated to this beloved abomination

Blobbyland, uhhhh. It isn't so much a theme park as like a themed....park? idk what you call them. like no rides to speak of it's just a collection of concrete shells of houses where Mr Blobby mascot characters are meant to walk around and interact with guests

Here are some fun and entirely true Blobbyland facts

Blobbyland Morecambe, aka Noel Edmond's World of Crinkley Bottom, opened in July 1994 and closed. in November 1994.

It was meant to save the area's flagging economy and be the greatest coup of the local council's careers. Instead it arguably killed Morecambe's entire economy stone dead.

As part of a marketing stunt, a nearby train station changed its name to Bare Crinkley Bottom. this isn't part of the saga, it's just funny

People genuinely thought this was a great idea. it was literally. Like ten concrete houses and a man in a Mr Blobby suit. that somehow cost the council £300,000 and would have needed 250,000 visitors in the first three months to break even

They did not break even

After a month, to prop up waning visitors, they granted Blobbyland a liquor licence. now it contained ten concrete houses, Mr Blobby, and a lot of very drunk people

They closed it down after 17 weeks and tried to sue Noel Edmonds for its failure

Now they owed Noel Edmonds £950,000 in damages for bringing a spurious suit

The total cost of BlobbyGate was somewhere around £2.6 million of taxpayer money from the people of Morecambe

They never demolished Blobbyland

It's still out there. Waiting. Mouldering. Regularly being invaded by urban explorers.

Is Mr Blobby also still out there in the concrete corpse of his home in the Lancaster woods? Perhaps. Who among us can truly say?

There's also an abandoned Blobbyland in Somerset which is way more complete and therefore horrific in photos, but doesn't have the distinction of nearly destroying an entire town within 4 months.
