Lauria Lark's Long Babbles

Just another human shaped blob. I like to create things that I don't finish.

Mockumentary series that I would totally watch: The exorcist reviewer. Each episode is about a different crew of exorcists at a new location, dealing with a new and different entity, and the show is about an exorcism expert who's there to review their performance. And will yell at them Gordon Ramsay -style. Getting really mad about amateurs and overconfident hacks handling ghosts badly. Like

"This lady was not treated with this much disregard and disrespect in her life, and she died in fucking 1892!"

[homunculus-argument]

Things birds would make memes about:

when you're all fucked up and ready to GO but the male got too into doing his mating display and won't fuck before he's done dancing

when your hatchlings this year should be all grown up and you've taught them everything you know but they still follow you around beeping for food like GET A FUCKING JOB

lmao the stupidest fucking mf in the flock got stuck in a trash can

when your species mates for life and you just realised that your spouse that you imprinted on is a fucking idiot

stealing fluff for my nest straight off a sleeping dog because I fear no death and answer to no god

I think my huge idiot son is a cuckoo

THE SUN IS UP AND SO AM I, TIME TO SCREAM MOTHERFUCKERS

Birds of prey hanging around bird feeders waiting for rats, squirrels, smaller birds, and other bird food to show up.

I fucking hate seagulls, all my homies hate seagulls

suck my dick, I'm a seagull, fuck you

[homunculus-argument]

People recreationally lying on tumblr is like a misinformation vaccine.

You're exposed to false information that's presented as if it's true, but which has been rendered harmless by being something absurd and utterly ridiculous, and even if you do catch something from it, the response is getting ridiculed on the internet instead of getting sucked into a cult. So the next time you encounter something that sounds absolutely mindblowing, some part of your mind remembers to check the sources, because you're not going to repeat the purple-eyes-no-periods mistake again.

Hi guys

[this-machine-k1lls-fascists-dea]

Really happy to see this at my local library

[oracleanne]

OOOOH. *happy YA librarian dance*

[thessalian]

I want this in every library, everywhere. After all, some kids won’t even google this stuff because they don’t want parents/siblings checking their browser history.

[adventurer-c]

This is really awesome. And if you’re not familiar with how the Dewey Decimal system works - the numbers subject-based, which means these numbers are applicable in EVERY library. So if you see something you want to research on this list - look for those same numbers in any of your local libraries.

speculative fiction writers i am going to give you a really urgent piece of advice: don't say numbers. don't give your readers any numbers. how heavy is the sword? lots. how old is that city? plenty. how big is the fort? massive. how fast is the spaceship? not very, it's secondhand.

the minute you say a number your readers can check your math and you cannot do math better than your most autistic critic. i guarantee. don't let your readers do any math. when did something happen? awhile ago. how many bullets can that gun fire? trick question, it shoots lasers, and it shoots em HARD.

you are lying to people for fun. if you let them do math at you the lie collapses and it's no fun anymore.

Maryland vs peta

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

[ckerouac]

It’s a universally known fact that you don’t fuck with our crab cakes here in Maryland.

Unfortunately, that second billboard is a photoshopped fake. BUT the real billboards that went up are just as fun!

So PETA put up that top billboard in 2018 in Baltimore, and the restaurant across the street, Jimmy’s Famous Seafood, put up a response. They also debuted a beer called, appropriately, PETA Tears, but I digress.

The ME was a subtle call out, a warning shot if you will.

But earlier this year (2023) right in time for Lent in very catholic Baltimore, PETA decided to try again.

To which Jimmy’s decided fuck that, let’s get two billboards this time. (WaPo)

No lie, ‘savor the sacrifice’ is my new favorite tag line.

[brightlotusmoon]

*peers out the window* Weird shit, mostly. It's fun living here.

[lovelyardie]

You don’t get between a Marylander and their crabs.

oh this is a life saver

[gallusrostromegalus]

So these are both “Aw Fuck I’m outta real food” meals BUT ALSO:  if you’re learning how to cook, these are great “baby steps” meals to learn how to cook basics into something enjoyable without “wasting” anything expensive.  Though I maintain that even cooking screw-ups are valuable in terms of lessons learned.

Also they’re great for when you get absorbed in something and you realize your blood sugar is dropping and you need to make something Quick.

The Playa Crawler: A Kinetic Walking Chair for Burning Man

In 2017, engineer Mark Ellis designed an innovative kinetic chair called The Playa Crawler to navigate the vast expanse of Burning Man. Inspired by the Strandbeest sculptures of Dutch artist Theo Jansen, this unique chair is specifically crafted to withstand the alkaline terrain of the Black Rock Desert.

Mark Ellis wanted a personal vehicle that was both functional and original for getting around Burning Man. This led him to create a chair that walks using a system of articulated legs. This mechanism, invented by Theo Jansen, allows the chair to move similarly to Jansen's giant sculptures, which are propelled by the wind along the beaches.

Built from laser-cut aluminum and steel, The Playa Crawler is equipped with two electric wheelchair motors, batteries, and is controlled via a wheelchair joystick.
