My blog has been getting a bit of attention lately so I figured I’d do a pinned post to help folks out.

I’m 31 years old, nonbinary (they/them), partnered with @asphodel-n-mint, single parent.

This blog functions for me the way I think Tumblr functions for a lot of folks—it’s mostly just stuff I like. I love Greek mythology, Lore Olympus, Hades, etc. Sometimes I make art, sometimes I post spicy pictures, sometimes I reblog spicy pictures from other folks.

I do my best to tag things appropriately and my most commonly used tags are #me for photos and written blogs, #lore olympus, and #resources.

Feel free to spam like and reblog to your heart’s content. DMs are open to mutuals, don’t be weird and don’t interact if your age isn’t in your bio. I block with impunity.

I do consider "let people enjoy things" to be a sort of thought terminating cliche at this point. while there are of course exceptions it seems to most often be employed as a knee jerk response to any critical or dissenting opinions no matter how impersonal, which isn't so much taking a stance for the freedom of individual taste as expressing a profound discomfort with criticism being expressed at all.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

this isn't, of course, about instances where someone is a complete tool and actively harasses people for their differing tastes; this is about the cries of "let people enjoy things" being tacked onto any articulation of criticism no matter how nebulous.

the wording is genuinely so interesting. "let people enjoy things," as if the naysayer somehow possesses the ability to ruin another's fun just by speaking criticism into the world that the enjoyer might, possibly, see and be tainted by.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

the statement "let people enjoy things" begs the question "who is being stopped?," the answer to which would seemingly be "people so deeply insecure in their enjoyment that the mere existence of disagreement ruins their fun." to which I would then say that maybe the naysayer isn't the one who isn't letting them enjoy things.

sorry to reblog myself it's just unfortunately relevant re: some whinging on my recent posts about the tragically interminable harry potter fandom

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

the HP fans who feel the need to whine and argue about how everyone is bullying them for still loving the IP of a woman so rich and transphobic that she shapes national policy are like the peak instance of this btw. how are you so thin skinned that you can't handle people calling your fic about pansexual he/they Draco Malfoy a bit tasteless, given the circumstances

Washington Post is paywalling the article but it looks like Taylor Farms — a consumer bagged salad brand that also supplies produce to grocers and fast food chains like Taco Bell, Walmart, McDonald's, Chipotle, Burger King, KFC, and Meijer —may be at least one of the sources of the current cyclosporiasis outbreak.

Taylor makes bagged greens, salad kits, chopped salads, the works. Keep avoiding supermarket greens, but keep an especially close eye out for this brand/supplier. The above list of grocers and fast food chains is NOT exhaustive, so please continue getting lettuce and other raw produce taken off your burgers, sandwiches, etc.

[triplehamburgerjack]

Their other brand is EARTHBOUND ORGANICS!!!

Oh what's that? You only read books with lots of "spice" in them? Well then I've got a great one for you, practically the whole plot revolves around "spice". Ahem. In the week before the departure to Arrakis,

i saw this sign in a bookstore and it made me laugh so hard :’)

Chat, is it considered “abusive roommate behavior” to release a raccoon into the living space after you have asked your roommate for months to please clean up their messes (they do not pay any of the mortgage)

[raccoonmilf]

For context, when I used to live alone I would do something called “Princess Time” where I would do an initial sweep (to remove any significant hazards) and then I would release a raccoon into the living area and clean. This helped because I would 1) feel like a princess and 2) the raccoon would bring attention to things my ADHD brain had decided to ignore and I’d quickly clean that stuff up.

So like, if I’m expected to clean the house now, I will be doing it in the way that is most effective for me. And anything that has not been cleaned up after months of having sit-down talks and sending reminders and being promised things will change, might be deemed “trash” by the trash panda and thrown away.

[raccoonmilf]

We haven’t done since we moved into the house, because I didn’t want to cause my roommate or their cats destress or have their things destroyed by a raccoon

[raccoonmilf]

I am a raccoon biologist and one of the few people in the state allowed to take in captive bred raccoons that had been possessed illegally. The raccoon in the photos is Moonshine, but she is currently at the animal sanctuary where I work as I had been quarantining multiple new intakes from an abuse case. I still have two males (Rum Tum Tugger and Electra) left in my home enclosure as we are getting them neutered and then hopefully sending them to an AZA accredited zoo.

I wanna make things very clear that underneath all the whimsy, I am a trained professional.

[raccoonmilf]

Those vibes are likely because I’m the original creator of Dashcon and my personality has not changed since 2012 lmao

I saw this on insta and someone commented asking her how she knew they were in there and she said that she saw the mama duck with only one duckling and thought it was suspicious so she stopped to check and hear them quacking down there... :') <3

[uncomfortablecliche]

the way the momma duck sped up once she saw her babies yayyyy

For when you need a reminder that there really is goodness in the world

And for whenever someone mistakenly tells you that humans can only hurt nature -

We are part of nature. And we are uniquely equipped, in many ways, to help heal the planet we are part of - so long as we keep choosing to help, and to heal, this planet of which we are a part

Honestly fuck AI for making me have to go on and on defending the dignity of toil like I’m some kind of protestant

[teaboot]

I hate you Ozempic craze I hate you 'heroin chic' I hate you weight loss ads on public radio I hate Burn Fat Fast ads every thirty seconds I hate you I hate you I hate you

[teaboot]

I grew up before the term 'thigh gap' was invented I grew up before 'hip dip' was invented I was born before 'muffin top' was a thing before 'clean girl look' was a thing before 'glass skin' was a thing before razoring off peach fuzz was a thing and I'm so so so fucking tired of us inventing new concepts purely for the purpose of convincing people to hate their own bodies enough to buy products

How is it that you can a music library of like 1,200+ absolute bangers but as soon as you put it on shuffle in a group setting it's like. anime opening you added in 2010. homestuck parody song. musical artist who was cancelled last year for kidnapping and eating children in his basement. Hamilton

[bumblebeebats]

I can't believe some people are actually reblogging this like "Tch. Omg, so embarrassing OP, I can't believe you would ever admit to liking Hamilton 😏 " like ok, first of all congratulations for hatching as a fully formed adult in 2022 from the pure white egg of a virgin swan i guess. Raised in a cave on a diet consisting solely of nuts and berries and leftist twitter clapbacks. "ooooooh, I've never had a complicated relationship with a piece of art that was phenomenally well-received at the time but aged like milk as later reflection revealed the fundamental flaws in its premise that were in fact present from its inception but which I didn't notice because I was 17 and hadn't heard of neoliberalism yet" Should we throw a party? Should we invite Anthony Fantano? Anyway second of all. you draw the line at Lin Manuel Miranda but you're fine with basement guy?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I would never make it as a bird. The stress of keeping the eggs warm all the time would be too much for me.

[twothousandyearsindungeon]

It doesnt do birds any favors either, great tits or no.

[kores-pomegranate]

Lookin’ like I’ll be up all night. Trying to decide if I should call out of work or power through.

[kores-pomegranate]

Update I called out because I have indeed been up all night crashing out 🫠

all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.
