why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain

There is a tiny OCD part of my head that just realized that the herbs in my window boxes are arranged parsley, thyme, rosemary and sage, and wants the world to end.

[freshgratednutmeg]

Are you going to Scarborough fair

Parsley thyme rosemary and sage

Remember me to one who lives there

His window boxes have filled him with rage

[godisawoman-z]

I truly, truly hate the beauty industry, because it feels (is?) directly tied to the diet culture/industry.

But I equally hate white feminists who shout from the rooftops that wearing make up and dressing really feminine is anti-feminist, and slam woc/transwomen of color, and any femme people, who wear make up.

Black and brown people have been made to feel ugly for fucking centuries. Black and brown women are even now slammed (even by other poc) of being too masculine. We didn’t have access to looking and feeling beautiful for years.

I know some women of color who still can’t even look in the mirror, in their fifties and sixties because they hate how they look.

I can’t help but think the no make up, no feminine dressing (for whatever gender), from white feminists is just another thing they are purposefully trying to take away from people of color. You can’t convince me otherwise.

White feminism helps no one except for white supremacy, and I am not letting a bitch take my make up away from me, because these white feminists are almost always fucking terfs.

Red meat is not a health risk. New study slams years of shoddy research

Red meat has been linked to all sorts of adverse health outcomes. But a new study shows that the associations are weak or nonexistent.

Felt bad for just flat out rebloging this earlier without looking it up, Article is legit and the website is rated honest.

Article also references healthdata dot org for a lot of their conclusions so decided to see if they’re on the level or not and it does not look like there’s any issued with the place the data came from’

This one is rock solid, and not sandstone, soapstone, or pumice either gonna be those good chunks of granite or something else strong.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[go-learn-esperanto]

“The evidence for a direct vascular or heath risk from eating meat regularly is very low, to the point that there is probably no risk,” commented Dr. Steven Novella, a Yale neurologist and president of the New England Skeptical Society. “There is, however, more evidence for a health risk from eating too few vegetables. That is really the risk of a high-meat diet, those meat calories are displacing vegetable calories.”

[whofilets]

Tbh I didn’t been knew

🤷‍♀️ I definitely need to eat more vegetables

[pancakeke]

god I never posted how bright and blue the sonic tree is at night

[pancakeke]

you can sense something is wrong as you begin heading downstairs and see this unsettling blue glow

approaching the tree, everything is bathed in blue. it's hard to see any of the decorations on the tree

eggman will go on top

[official-kircheis]

hey jess do you have a geiger counter, just asking, no reason

[pancakeke]

yeah but it wouldn't shut up so I took the batteries out

[antidisneyinc]

for the mario movie???? the mario bros movie?? the actors can't know the plot of the mario movie??? they're scared of plot leaks for mario the movie?? the movie mario???? we're getting not just chris pratt but chris pratt acting BLIND????????

[antidisneyinc]

we've all joked to death about how this type of micromanaging essentially kills the art of acting, but I want to make it extra clear that doing this to voice actors and making them riff on their performance in a void is just one tiny step away from AI generating the cherrypicked delivery that a studio desires, which is something they are already doing with james earl jones's darth vader

[girlballs-archive]

the thing about AI art is there's a whole- wait. did you guys hear that

oh shit heimdall just sounded the gjallarhorn to signal the arrival of naglfari

Miss Piggy Wants to Adapt Pride and Prejudice With Ted Lasso's Brett Goldstein

Muppet icon Miss Piggy wants to star in a new adaptation of the classic Jane Austen novel and promises she has the acting chops to pull it off.

omg it would be SO GOOD!

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

ALL MOVIES MUST BE MUPPET-ISED :D

[gullahch1ld]

Sometimes it is your fault.. Sometimes you don’t listen well enough, you’re selfish, you’re rude and you aren’t always right. Sometimes you fucked it up and tbh that’s okay. It happens, learn from it, apologize and keep it moving. Just because you fucked up doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. Don’t dwell on it

[gothish]

“how do i attain this aesthetic” do ya’ll not know how to be yourselves like wtf lol

[libertineangel]

The way modern social media has reified “aesthetic” as something more than just people looking a certain way seems to have really fucked up a whole lot of people’s perceptions of what self-expression is and how to go about it, making it no longer just a matter of doing and being who you want but a performative presentation of the semi-fabricated self-as-object for consumption by some hypothetical audience.

Subculture has always been a thing but it began as a means of expressing and indicating shared ideas and interests, whereas now it seems commodified to the point where all any modern subcultures are expressing is what products and internet trends participants prefer to consume, and that’s not identity so much as marketing.

hmm yeah its annoying when leftists do this or that. but its more annoying when the unceasing gears of capital grind billions of human lives into paste for centuries and centuries. so.

On NaNoWriMo, Inkitt, and Being An Author

On Writing I sequestered myself for the month of November and wrote the first 50k words of Hostis Humani Generis, the decopunk anarchist les

Inkitt is a scam. Inkitt lures people into giving away their first publishing rights so they can’t sell the book to anyone else, and gives them “a chance to win” a contract. Or possibly be shopped around to real publishers, which is the job of an agent. Honestly, the whole thing is so screwy that I won’t try to lay it all out again here. You can read the posts above.

Here are some general pro tips about publishing: No publisher will ever reply to your casual post about writing on social media with an offer of publication. No publisher will sign a book that has already been published for free on the internet unless that book has already proven that it can sell a million copies, and probably not even then. And no author should ever sign away their book for “a chance” or “exposure.”

If you've just completed NaNoWriMo, you might have noticed something called "Inkitt" promoted as a sponsor in the Winner Goodies. In the post linked above, Rachel Sharp explains why you should not under any circumstances give Inkitt your work, and why NaNoWriMo promoting Inkitt is really concerning. Sharp also links to several other authors who have similarly criticized Inkitt as a scam, as well as reddit and Quora threads where it's been discussed.

[heywriters]

Inkitt is still going??? I have been hating on them for a decade and still they consume authors?

My 4yo: *points to the label on my tea bag* what does that say?

Me: it says “over 300 years of experience”. It means the people at twinings have been making tea for 300 hundred years.

Her: *dramatic gasp* they haven’t even died?!

Me: *whispering* tea vampires…
