My first time operating CCTV cameras I was handed control over what was essentially 50 independently moving eyes that collectively covered an area about the size of a football field and from that experience I now know that

Suddenly having 50 moving eyes can make you disoriented and barfy and the adjustment period sucks ass

It takes both more and less time than you’d think to figure out what the structure as a whole looks like and where those eyes ARE

After you get used to it the entirety of the structure itself and all of the eyes you can see from feels like an extension of your nervous system in a very bizarre way. Like I have dreams now from the perspective of A Building and I’m not sure how to describe that.

Once you are aware of an unreachable blind spot it nags at you constantly and you can feel it like a hard little lump under your skin you need to poke and scratch at and it’s ardghgguychgghhbhhhbhhh

Humans (and several other primates) have remarkably flexible body maps and we have loads of studies on that but this is the first time I’ve considered that from the perspective of flexible sensory maps. I love these weird ass nervous systems we’ve got.

and to my only grandson, i bequeath the estate in aspen, under the strict stipulation that he dresses like a girl for a year. if he fails, then it shall be given to his evil cousin, whose name i never did catch

- cherry wine is about domestic abuse. it’s now called a cute proposal song.

- too sweet is about seizing the day and ignoring healthy habits in favor of having more fun with unhealthy ones. he’s actively critical of himself in the song. it’s now called a song about thinking you’re superior for drinking black coffee.

- take me to church is about worship as a metaphor for sex. it’s called a religious song.

- eat your young is a song about war and political greed. it’s called a song about sex.

- now, the strongly political message of nobody’s soldier is being ignored in favor of calling it a metaphor for hozier’s relationship with his fans.

when are we going to stop simplifying hozier’s music down to cute little cottagecore bogman forest music? maybe you dont want to hear this but i don’t care. quit listening to hozier for the aesthetic. there’s a reason why empire now, foreigner’s god, butchered tongue, etc. songs with unignorable political messages are among his least popular songs.

me, unloading a fitted sheet from the dryer: *squinting* what's that you've got in your mouth

fitted sheet: nothing :)))))))

me, prying open its twisted jaws: na-ah!!! give it to me RIGHT now!!

fitted sheet: *resentfully spits out a wad of 3 very damp dishtowels, a pillowcase, and a pathetically sodden washcloth*

this man has a very specific accent that doesn’t exist anymore, but you can picture it in your mind’s ear.

Glad to know it’s not just me that has a mind’s ear.

*blowing out my little bedside tealight, putting away my phone, and drifting off to sleep with one last dozzy thought of gratitude to blue light screen filters, only to jolt awake because wait shit did humans evolve that way because of candles???

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

pre-electric light sources (candles, oil lamps, fire) tend to warm/yellow tones—and have been used in one form or another for all of human existence. use of fire pre-dates humans; our hominid ancestors were using it for light and heat as early as 2 million years ago.

for a long, long time, yellow light (the open fire, the communal hearth, the candlelight, the burning lamp) has been an indicator that hey sweetheart, it's almost bedtime

and as for blue light, well. they called that daylight (and sometimes: dawn)

My ultimate fantasy:

I’m gonna continue to shake my fist at the sky about how stupid things are and then one day I’m gonna wake up and everything I was shaking my fist about magically resolves itself.

That would be real cool.

people trip me out when they say shit like “oh i miss being 10 years old and not having problems” like the fuck you mean you didn’t have problems

cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you're still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don't understand when you're trying to help them

cats when you step on their tail: i'll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke.

cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinister plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,

like the return of the r slur and horrible fatphobia and gay jokes and the misogyny oh my fucking god can we talk about the misogyny. we have culturally regressed to the eary 2010s but when you try to call people out they’re liek ohhh it’s just a joke 😂. i’m sorry but i don’t want to hear jokes about pedophilia or about rape or about racism that is not funny and it never will be. everything is ironic and if you get offended it’s cuz you’re a crazy femnazi who cares too much. because it’s apparently uncool to take anything serious or do anything with actual sincerity anymore

[treecitysessions]

Something that’s awesome about tumblr compared to other sites is that we’re still passing around images and things that people posted on here upwards of 15 years ago like I saw this amazing photo on here earlier with only like a thousand notes and the timestamp on the post was like this time of year in 2010

[treecitysessions]

Everybody is just on here sharing cool stuff that they enjoy and there’s no shelf life on posts here. I love that
