What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

[storm-of-feathers]

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

It's people under 30, generally speaking. But yeah, that's why social media is Like That - I've been grumbling about that to my husband and the four walls of our apartment for a few years now.

I wouldn't even consider that opinion to be that pretentious, tbh.

Hey can you guys reblog Cheeseburger so he can take a sunbeam nap on lots of blogs. No other reason I just want you guys to see him.

[musashi]

So, Cheeseburger died on November 21st after an unfairly short battle with an unfairly rare cancer that is rarely seen in cats. I only got to spend a month with him after his diagnosis, and losing him has been the greatest heartbreak of my entire life so far. He was my best friend and my soul cat, and he was there for me when I was completely alone, for twelve long years.

I made this transparent PNG the night he died in preparation for one of the many ways I was going to memorialize him--a surface rug in his likeness that I planned on laying directly in the line of his favourite sunbeam. And I uploaded that PNG here, because this is the website where people post their cats.

I was not expecting the reception I got. Many people have pointed out that this post has more reblogs than likes, and how insane that is in 2025 when reblog culture is at an all time low. I didn't even talk about the fact that Burger passed away in the original post, it wasn't a tearjerker reblog bait or anything like that. People just loved Burger that much, in the same way I fell in love with him at first sight. He was such an ugly kitten.

Anyways, it's really special to me that so many people have reblogged my best friend. I made this PNG to memorialize him in a completely different way, and you all wound up doing just that in ways I never even imagined.

Thank you. Wherever he is, I know the sun is shining.

So, at least two of the above were businessmen going to business schools primarily to network - the education wasn't really the point. Once they hit on an idea that they knew would "work" (i.e., was marketable), they left because they didn't need to be there anymore. They may have also been good at other things as well (programming or whatever), but it was business that they wanted to do. (Steve Jobs was also mentally unwell and damn near burned his company to the ground before Tim Cook stepped in and had Apple put him on a leash.)

You do not start university without a plan, and you do not leave university without a plan. I really hate the way journalism pieces on company founders reduce the story down to "he started college and dropped out, and now he's worth a zillion dollars!" because 1) it's never the whole truth, and 2) it implies that both education and tradition are ultimately worthless - "Don't be a sheep" and "education is for snobs".

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion that I now hold because I'm old, but there is a lot of stability in tradition that this world badly needs. Obviously you don't want tradition to reach a point where it's strangling, but relying on its stability is what has allowed the rest of us billions to get by - knowing things are going to be consistent from day to day, and that millions of others have done it the same way and had similar experiences as you (so don't worry, you're normal). I guess my point is, don't shit on it so readily.
