Anonymous messages are off for now due to the rampant flood of bots. I'll wait a few months before I turn them back on again.

you dont have to be a furry but what could it hurt to associate yourself with an awesome animal

[cutecipher]

the default way for things to taste is good. we know this because "tasty" means something tastes good. conversely, from the words "smelly" and "noisy" we can conclude that the default way for things to smell and sound is bad. interestingly there are no corresponding adjectives for the senses of sight and touch. the inescapable conclusion is that the most ordinary object possible is invisible and intangible, produces a hideous cacophony, smells terrible, but tastes delicious. and yet this description matches no object or phenomenon known to science or human experience. so what the fuck

[skluug]

this is what ancient greek philosophy is like

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

False! “Sightly” is a positive word, so the default way for things to work is good as well.

The true most ordinary object is beautiful, horrible sounding, very smelly, intangible, and delicious.

I still don’t think it matches anything in existence but to truly understand a thing one must know its true nature.

[professionalchaoticdumbass]

"touchy" is also a word! however it's mostly used for things that aren't objects, like subjects of conversation. it either means "oversensitive and irritable" or "requires careful handling/wording, delicate"

i think the second one works well for our hypothetical object. so we can use that.

therefore, the Default Object is:

beautiful

makes a horrendous sound

smells absolutely awful

is very fragile

tastes delicious

and i still cannot think of anything that matches this

[and-a-pidgey-in-a-wepear-tree]

behold, the default object!

Do you have any advice on sucking DILF cock in a respectful and god-honoring way?

That depends on which particular god you're honouring, really.

[drovak-blog]

The dick god, obviously

the wisdom ive learnt is that becoming part of a friend group 1) takes a long time and 2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first. there’s nothing terrible about this but if you grew up chronically lonely or have any kind of trauma relating to social isolation this likely feels Really Wrong and activates danger signals. but both fortunately and unfortunately it’s just how becoming close to new people works most of the time

[caydencrypted]

another thing that was not intuitive to me as someone who grew up an autistic loner: basically everyone on the planet is starved for connection all the time and almost everything people do is an attempt to reach out to another. most seemingly illogical interactions and behaviours can be explained by this. you have to take as many of these invitations as you can. even if you're wrong you still attempted to bring more warmth into the world

[mromitosen]

I am a PASSIONATE commenter on fanfiction, but sometimes it slows down my reading because I don't want to read if I don't have the mental energy to leave the long comments I want to

Still, as an author, I know even a short note can mean the world.

So, I put together a little guide with different “levels” of comments, so it’s easier to leave something without overthinking!

Hopefully this helps someone else too!

hey man . ur doing great . high five .

idk tumblr rap discourse, i think dismissing the political importance of the genre that successfully popularized the slogan "fuck the police" might be unwise

[europeanamericanamericans-deact]

cool should we talk first about the rampant misogyny or the glorification of drug use that has led to the stigmatization of people who take legitimate prescription medications

[tpwrtrmnky]

yeah we can talk about that

these issues are endemic to USAmerican culture and don't meaningfully trace back to rap in particular. pretending otherwise has obvious motives and "raising concerns" is a low-skill way to mask racism.

there. talk done.

hey did you know that if you go donate blood but you don’t manage to give enough to be donated, they still use the blood?

apparently they send it off to med students. and forensic students.

so don’t feel bad if you passed out three minutes in because you might have helped make an epic blood splatter that twelve dorky kids are hunched over staring at

flops face down on the floor How can so many people not get what death of the author actually means. it's such a simple concept to understand.

[schafpudel]

#it's just 'what the author intended for their work doesn't automatically supercede the result of the work itself.' that's it. #it means 'the author said the characters have a healthy relationship but what they actually wrote was ipv so what they said doesn't matter' #it means 'the director said they wanted to make a Strong Female Character #then always framed her so her tits were the most visible thing on screen so in reality she's just treated as a sex object' #it means 'it can reasonably be argued that the answer to the mystery is x and not y even though the author said they didn't mean for that' #it Does Not mean 'the author is dead to me because I don't like them' #nor does it mean 'death of the text' #it means that the work already exists for me to analyse and no amount of commentary after the fact will change what's actually in it #fwiw I tend to view author commentary as expert insight rather than definitive insight #it's extremely likely that they know their work best and will have unique thoughts about it that are worth hearing #but if they're wrong they're not automatically less wrong just bc they're the author #it means I don't have to bother with thinking 'am I onto something with this symbolic analysis or was the author not thinking this deep' #because whether or not the author did it on purpose is immaterial to whether or not it exists #if you trip over a paint can and accidentally splash your canvas in red #then the figures still look like they're covered in blood even if you didn't mean to do it

I just have to say, I absolutely love both Leverage shows. Eliot is my favorite.
