a few towns over there used to be a golf course with a bunch of statues and one of them was a huge orange dinosaur which became a local landmark. like this dinosaur was beloved. but its also important to note that its hideous. like really, really fucking ugly. and so more recently the golf course got removed and an apartment building was being built, and everyone was FURIOUS at the thought of them removing their precious, disgusting orange dinosaur, so the town had no choice but to leave it up. so now there is a brand new shiny apartment building with an anatomically incorrect orange dinosaur overlooking the horizon

my little brother came into my room last night to tell me that he was gonna sew a stack of my mom’s saltine crackers together through the little holes and then left again

wintermutaldeactivated5062024-d

i ended up distracting my parents so he could put the crackers back in the little sleeve like hed only taken one from the top. i dont know if anybodys found them yet but i talked to him about it later and it turns out that theyre sewn together TIGHTLY. like. the ENTIRE stack through ALL the holes

wintermutaldeactivated5062024-d

it has been three days and my mom has still not discovered the sewed together cracker stack in the box in the cupboard

ilivebetweenjohnsthighs

I’m DESPERATE to see the sewn crackers

wintermutaldeactivated5062024-d

i have no idea how he accomplished this

wintermutaldeactivated5062024-d

there seems to be some confusion on how old my little brother is. my little brother is 19, one year younger than me, and is majoring in three separate subjects in uni. he just likes to cause problems on purpose

WHAT. IS. THIS. SORCERY.

kierpenta

1. i can’t believe there are people in the world who haven’t heard this

2. go check out mika he’s great - important to note is that he’s mlm (he’s come out alternately as being gay, bisexual and ‘not interested in labels’ for a while) and a huge amount of his songs are about being mlm so in particular if ya need good mlm artists check him out

thesylverlining

Seriously Mika is a gift and sunshine unto this sick sad world

postillfastill

mika is wildly popular in europe but his north american fanbase is like, six people and a napkin, and it’s killing me.

ALSO, he came out as bisexual/‘not interested in labels’ like a decade ago, but much more recently he came out as gay, so he’s gay! his latest album, No Place In Heaven, is almost completely about being gay. it’s got a song abt his sexuality and his religion, a song abt pining for your straight best friend, a song abt the music world that includes the lyrics “where have all the gay guys gone?”, a song abt gay and lesbian solidarity, a song abt heterosexual expectations from family, and two songs that are just abt being super ridiculously in love w your partner.

please listen to Mika’s entire discography because there are a LOT of classics that i’m 100% sure you’ve heard at some point in your life, all the love songs are implicitly gay, it’s great, but ESPECIALLY listen to No Place In Heaven (2015).

stolligaseptember

it always surprises me to remember that mika isn’t actually a part of the global populace’s general consciousness

because his debut album, life in cartoon motion, was such a huge part of my generation’s tween and teen years

like, i guarantee you, you can walk up to any swedish millennial, and they will still know every single line of his song lollipop

it was just a part of our upbringing;

become a crippling anxious mess

develop an attitude problem

and memorize all of mika’s lollipop

This is so strange for me ‘cause here in Italy Mika has a show on one of the main tv channel

I just love him sooo much ❤❤❤

kurosmind

I just want to point you all to this masterpiece:

nothing-mancer

I’m American and he’s so obscure and niche here. Seeing people talk about how much they love him and how everyone around them knew him growing up makes me very happy. His music was honestly such an integral part of growing up for me but most people I meet don’t even know who he is.

Now everyone go listen to Mika immediately

quellthefire

I remember being 16 and dancing to Grace Kelly in my best friend’s living room and screaming the lyrics and just feeling so okay in that moment. Mika is one of my favorite memories of that era in my life

random-fireworks

He’s wiiildly known here in France (he’s now a coach for The Voice France btw) and most kids my age when I was a tween/teen knew his songs, if only because they kept playing on every radio (srsly I can’t even imagine that some people have never heard Relax, Take It Easy?????? It was literally EVERYWHERE here, you couldn’t escape it) and it was pretty awesome because his songs are absolutely wonderful and he is a pure ray of sunshine (also getting emo to Happy Ending and By the Time, that was an experience).

He’s such an important artist who should be recognized outside of Europe too, because besides the fact that his voice is OUT THERE, he’s very vocal about minorities, about who he is, and about celebrating differences; plus his mother is Lebanese, his father is American, he lived in Lebanon, France and the UK in his youth and he speaks fluently six languages he’s a pure example of how being open to the world only makes us grow and makes it a better place

Please, yes, if you don’t know about him go listen to his songs, you won’t regret it. I kinda want to link all his songs because they’re all different and amazing but the ones above posted by the others are very good to start with and y’know what, I’ll just add one of my faves ‘cause it can brighten one’s day (also look up One Foot Boy pls though)

(Also he made a song with Ariana Grande based on the song Popular from the musical Wicked, how do y’all not know about that?)
