I hope this joke outlives the context that made it, leaving future generations baffled.

that shower is a fucking death trap

[greatmountainfloofsquatch]

Possibly the worst design I have ever seen.

[foldingfittedsheets]

If I saw an Airbnb listing with this shower I’d book it instantly. Like. I’d know it was going to be terrible but I cannot resist a weird fucked up shower.

unfortunately very true. Doing Better does not always mean never being upset or never being triggered or never having trouble. often Doing Better means experiencing those things and being able to keep going/cope healthily/move on. if you’re in a bubble with no sensation, if you’re numbing yourself out, that’s not what recovering really is. it won’t help you have a happier life it’ll just make your world smaller and smaller until you can’t fit anywhere anymore. gotta learn to make peace with the hard stuff too, that’s the only way to keep going

people bitching about the usage of "too modern" words in fantasy or historical fiction is sometimes justified, but ultimately I think it's a waste of time because

all words exist within a specific time frame and it's pointless to avoid the fact that you're writing with the language of your own time

which words are actually "newer" than other words is sometimes wildly unintuitive

according to the dates given in the Oxford English Dictionary, if you wrote a book set in 1897, you could have your characters say "fuckable," (1889) "sexy" (1896) "uncomfy" (1868) "hellacious" (1847) "dude" (1877) "all righty" (1877) and "heck" (1887), but not "wiggly" (1932) "moronic" (1910) "uptight" (1934) "lowbrow" (1901) "fifty-fifty" (1913) "burp" (1932) "bagel" (1898) or use the word "rewrite" as a noun (1901)

[headspace-hotel]

Some more words where the date of their first known usage just Doesn't Sound Right:

hangry, as in the portmanteau of 'hungry' and 'angry' (1912)

dildo (1590)

yucky (1970)

grungy (1965)

freebie (1925)

shitty (1768)

boost (1815)

boss (1856)

TGIF, as in Thank God It's Friday (1941)

yay (1963)

Fucked up (1863) is much older than fuck you (1943) but older still is the now-obscure fucked out (1862) which means what it sounds like—exhausted from too much sex.

I love shopping at niche online merch shops that really shouldn't exist, like the Heinz 57 Apparel Store and the Whataburger Gift Shop. One of my favorites is the USPS "gifts" section of the website, because it's mostly very elegant prints of commemorative stamps, and then once in a while just tosses some wild-ass shit out there.

Like Farley.

Farley is an anthropomorphic postbox. He's extremely shaped.

I thought maybe he was some kind of new mascot but as far as I can tell he's just a stuffed postbox retailing for $15. He appears to be named for James Aloysius Farley, postmaster general from 1933-40, but I do not know why. Ah, sweet mysteries of life.

[ID: A screengrab from the USPS website of a stuffed toy; it is shaped like a USPS mail receptacle, a tall blue bin with four legs. The toy has a US Mail stamp on the side and a beaming face where the mail slot would normally be.]

[copperbadge]

FYI guys, Farley is back in stock after being sold out for ages and makes a great gift to give your weirdest friend, or the friend you want to make think you are the weirdest.

I love photos of bald eagles entangled on the ground after one of their courtship death spirals. They look so bewildered

[abearbutch]

from wikipedia

[ID: a screenshot from the bald eagle wikipedia. the picture in the screenshot shows two bald eagles in mid-air with their talons locked together and their wings outstretched as they fall. the text underneath the picture reads: “Bald eagles with talons locked togethers in a mating dance spiral free-fall dive.” End ID].

I think that learning how to deescalate conflicts between children is a really useful skill to have, even if you don't have and don't plan on having children, because you will inevitably have to use those skills to deescalate conflicts between grown adults as well. generally you should kind of expect that, as a calm rational adult, you'll have to parent other strangers from time to time. this is part of living in society.
