had a dream that there was this new tiktok trend called "scrubbing" where people would take images of fictional characters and put them in images of bathtubs and drag around transparent pngs of soap and brushes with their tiktok art tablets and like liquify tool their hair down to mimic giving them a shower. and people would get into flamewars in the comments of every single video over the types of soap they picked and if the images had decently removed backgrounds and if they got soap in their eyes. and it got onto the news because it turned out everyone doing the trend was doing it compulsively like they physically couldn't stop and each video was a solid few minutes long because they were just collectively obsessively recording themselves fake-showering these fictional characters and arguing about it online

[footlongdingledong]

for the record I have never used tiktok and like explicitly in the dream I learned about it secondhand from a discord server so there's that also which is funny I think

Reblog to let your followers know that despite your current obsession your previous obsessions still exist and are simply lying dormant until they awaken and strike again

[naamahdarling]

I need all of you to understand that I am quietly, at all times, thinking about spheres carved from various minerals, or made from various materials, or perhaps spheres that can only exist in the realm of mathematical theories. You don't hear about it, because there isn't much to say. But they're always there. I'm always pondering them. So whenever you see me reblog a sphere of some kind, please regard it as akin to the plume of water that signifies the presence of a whale just beneath the surface of the sea.

[elodieunderglass]

I didn’t know that about you Naamah

[bealittleimprobable]

I don't know if it's still true but in the 2000s, we worked out you could get a solid C on a history GCSE if you just understood how to analyse sources. Knowing nothing about the facts, just being able to read and interpret what is in front of you. In theory you could have studied Germany in WWI and squeak a pass on an exam about the English Civil War.

At the time I thought it was absurd. Looking now at how many people have zero understanding of sources (doing things like uncritically repeating trolls/satire accounts, or not understanding a piece has an agenda), frankly I think it should have got you a B.

I like when the bus stops directly in front of you out of the line of waiting people and opens its doors. Chosen by the dragon

[icarusdiesatdawn]

I hate this post. Ever since I read it I can't help but think "chosen by the dragon" whenever the bus stops in front of me or "denied by the dragon" when it doesn't. Every. single. time. That's a minimum of ten times a week. Do you know how annoying that is

[grauline]

anyway in the hopes that i can save just one person from living the horror of my 20s: if you have a friend that seems a little too invested in callouts i hope you can get out of there safely

[grauline]

it's so easy to think to yourself "i don't have anything to hide, what do i have to worry about?" but having morals and generally doing your best not to hurt anyone will not save you. you can never be good or pure enough for these people. the target is constantly shifting and if they cannot find dirt on you they will change gears and tighten the circle of acceptable behaviors until you fit their new description of a threat. you are fully disposable to them and they are waiting to take the shot. don't confront them, don't give them the opportunity to darvo you. just hit the bricks 👍 the peace will be worth it

[grauline]

this post exploded overnight and my notes are full of people sharing their experiences in the tags. you all have my condolences. my favorite tag on this post said something along the lines of "if you're scared of your friends, those aren't your friends" so i hope y'all will wake up one day and realize you haven't been afraid of your friends for a very long time. it's possible i promise :)

The ideal Game Changer episodes are "messing with one person in particular" and "elaborate excuse to make people happy and give them money" and this is both. I love it

[professorsparklepants]

It is still sooooooo fucking funny that tumblr, the "fuck that old man" website, the villain apologist website, AND the paranormal boyfriend website read Dracula and went "Count Dracula sucks, we hate this dude." Planetary alignment levels of unlikely.

Me: What the fuck. David Corenswet is Superman. The guy who built Star Wars Legos with my brother when they were 14. I knew he had an acting career, he did theater and commercials back then and he was in some Netflix stuff, but Superman?

Husband: congratulations, you are having the authentic experience of being Clark Kent's coworker

[lukas-broken-bow]

my mother and I are so funny because she’ll say “look at what robert reich said today” and show me an article and I’ll read it and then I’ll say “look at what sam reich did today” and show her an episode of game changer and she’ll watch it

don’t unfollow me okay. i’m going to make a really good post one of these days. just wait.

One year on my birthday when I was struggling with money (earned £6.70 an hour, slept on a mattress on the floor), I had friends visit for a party.

We went to an aldi to get food, and everyone insisted on paying for their own food, buying full bottles of fizzy drink, their own snacks and so on. Some of the friends brought their own baked goods too. Later, one friend covered a Chinese takeaway order for me and everyone ordered lots of food to eat with no hesitation, only to mention that their eyes had been bigger than their stomachs when the food did arrive.

I didn't realise what was happening until the next day, when each person left my flat with the same "oops, bought too much food to take home with me— I'll just leave it with you!" farewell.

I think about it a lot. I don't know if it was planned or not, but they all made sure I didn't need to worry about food for a good few weeks. Back then, I had to freeze loafs of bread to ration them out, and I had an iron deficiency from not being able to afford good food. But alone in my flat, I realised that I suddenly had a kitchen full of reminders that my friends loved me.

[aromanticduck]

Just realised I follow three different nonbinary people named Maia. The nickels keep rolling in.

[aromanticduck]

I need to collect one who uses he/him pronouns, one I don't know very well, one who's slutty, and one who's really funny.

The I can have a Maia (he), Maia (who), Maia (hoe) and Maia (haha).

[cumaeansibyl]

people talking about “forced diversity” like characters being PoC or LGBT or disabled “for no reason” like

are people in real life PoC or LGBT or disabled for a reason

do these critics run up to people on the street like WHY ARE YOU BLACK

[cumaeansibyl]

this post is nearly ten years old and unfortunately the government is now out here asking anyone with a halfway decent job WHY ARE YOU BLACK

[marzipanandminutiae]

“are you a man or Political? are you white or Political? are you straight or Political? are you cis or Political? are you able-bodied or Political?”

I forget where I read that, but it rings horribly true nowadays

[geeoharee]

I thought this was a lot older, but the main internet source appears to be a tweet about a video game

[gaynfl-moved]

actually the best part of the new superman movie is the fact that lois and clark have been dating for only three months because that means clark fell so hard he told her his whole ass secret identity in 90 days. fucking u-haul lesbian behavior.

standing up and blacking out for a few seconds is just transitioning from a cutscene to the actual gameplay

You motherfuckers need to eat salt is what that means

[verdantelf]

fun fact antidepressants can cause low sodium levels.

when i was on them, i didnt know this, and my parents hated that i craved salt because “salt is unhealthy”, so i didn’t get enough–and blacked out and got dizzy a LOT.

if ur on antidepressants make sure to get enough salt!! i know media says salt=bad but i promise your body needs it!!

[teaboot]

IS THAT WHAT THAT’S BEEN ABOUT??

IVE BEEN BLACKING OUT CONSTANTLY WHAT THE FUCK

[thespacesay]

the primary way that SSRIs and SNRIs cause low sodium levels is via increased sweating (though you can also experience decreased sweating, and both put you at higher risk of heat related illness!). if you are sweating, you are losing salt.
