Hi. I like making things and sharing them. This blog has turned out to be mostly about sharing whatever I find while wandering the wilderness of my dash. Anyway I'm gendequeer and use any pronouns but she. I'm an adult if it matters that much to you.

The night gardener once asked me if I knew how citrus trees died: when they reach old age, if they are not cut down and they manage to survive drought, disease and innumerable attacks of pests, fungi and plagues, they succumb from overabundance. When they come to the end of their life cycle, they put out a final, massive crop of lemons. In their last spring their flowers bud and blossom in enormous bunches and fill the air with a smell so sweet that it stings your nostrils from two blocks away; then their fruits ripen all at once, whole limbs break off due to their excessive weight, and after a few weeks the ground is covered with rotting lemons. It is a strange sight, he said, to see such exuberance before death.

thank you for the insight

I truly enjoy how much Animorphs is like “here are our young heroes, each with a distinctive trope to fill in the group!” And then it makes you watch how the pressure of each person’s role grinds them to dust. And also they have homework.

#IM SORRY THEY DO HOME FUCKING WORK IN ANIMORPHS??????

Yeah they're students. If they don't keep their grades up or if they miss too many classes (or miss classes at suspicious times) then they risk drawing the attention of the faculty and/or their parents, some of whom are the enemy and some of whom can just make future espionage a whole lot harder. There are multiple missions where they're like "okay, this is incredibly time sensitive but it'll take a full day or longer so it has to wait for the weekend and we'll have to all lie to our parents about sleeping over at each others' houses. It's gonna have to be done at the last minute because we've gotta go to class. Also, remember to get that English paper finished, we can NOT afford to have you grounded right now."

They also get disembowelled and/or eaten a lot

Everything that isn't food is a cat from the perspective of a cat. Cats can look upon the true form of eldritch monstrosities and keep their sanity. They'd just see another cat. A fucking weird-looking cat, but a cat nonetheless.

i think someone should make an indie game based on all the people speedrunning through the scientology headquarters to map it

you have the obvious gameplay of exploration to map a location, but also there can be character customising and multiplayer to allow for atrategic avoidance and overwhelming of the scientologists trying to block you/kick you out

i also think it would be funny to have a videogame where the game design is based on the actual maps these people are making from their incursions

[do-you-have-a-flag]

you're right

P.S. This is a brush your teeth reminder blog. If this would be helpful for you, pls give it a follow. I implore everyone to take their oral health seriously. You will save yourself so much pain and money in the future. 🫶

[sewickedthread]

And note, if you have soft tooth enamel, use a soft bristled toothbrush and brush only 2-3 times a day (go ahead & floss as much as is comfortable).

If you're not certain, and if you have the means, ask your dentist.

[anais-ninja-bitch]

and note, while dentists' recommendations are the ideal, doing any part of them is better than doing nothing.

brush when you remember to. floss when you have the energy to.

[anais-ninja-bitch]

reblogging bc i have been eating sweets like it's my JOB this holiday season.

BUT my mom is champion and got me Bluey electric toothbrush for Xmas. yay!

[brosser-les-dents]

Adding tags from @thetrekkiehasthephonebox

ALSO drink some water after eating

it washes some of the leftover gunk off your teeth

not a substitute for brushing or flossing

but a good habit to get it that can be beneficial

plus you know staying hydrated is also important

'this property says it has nine acres but those neighbours look pretty clo-'

oh.

ohhhhhhhhh no

[kiwisoap]

When i saw this I immediately suspected it was in Louisiana so I did a reverse image search to confirm and, yep!

The reason its so long and skinny is because Louisiana has (had? not sure if they're still in place) Forced Heirship laws. which means that you are required to leave a portion of your estate to qualifying heirs, regardless of whether you or they want it, and also regardless of what your will says. This is then combined with the fact that property in many parts of Louisiana was originally divvied up into parcels by Spanish land grants, which looked like this:

Which over many generations has led to large properties being slowly divided into thinner and thinner strips of acreage in order to satisfy the forced heirship law. Which is why they now have strips of property that are like 50 feet wide and 2 miles long

[kiwisoap]

Okay I was exaggerating when I said "50 ft wide and 2 miles long" but I did actually open one of my map apps and measured the approximate size of this property and. It's around 54 ft wide and 1.44 miles long. I wasn't even that far off.

contrary to popular belief i think calvin's adhd is, funnily enough, medicated. he takes extended release ritalin every morning alongside his chocolate frosted sugar bombs. this is because he appreciates being more easily able to focus on his various Schemes, Projects, and Machinations while more effectively ignoring schoolwork

calvin's dad pulling up to the house and seeing the whole driveway covered in a (completed) snowman recreation of the entire terracotta army and he takes a deep breath and greets calvin's mom with "i see calvin remembered his methylphenidate today"

it is tiring, being endless political just as someone existing. my teacher asks me if i’m writing more of that “feminist poetry.” a lot of it is just talking about me, being a woman, being afraid in the city. i write about walking a line, about how i am expected to choose between home and work, how each comes with a slew of its own insults; how it feels when i am wearing shorts and there are too many men outside. these are just facts of my life. someone in the comments says, “where are woman even coming up with these crazy generalizations in their feminism?”

i hold hands with the prettiest girl i’ve ever seen and someone sighs when they see me. “do they have to make everything gay?” she asks her friend, loudly, “like, do you have to force those views in my face all the time?” i can’t stop blushing. my girlfriend holds my fingers tighter, tighter, tighter, until my knuckles are white, and i let her. somehow, this is us, protesting.

my father’s cuban blood stains my skin, i think. when i am honored with a position in the dean’s private council, a boy sneers, “you only got in because you’re hispanic.” did i? i spend the rest of our meetings wondering if i was selected for my stellar academic record, for the multiple recommendations, for the clubs i lead - or if i was just a move the dean made, to make use of me. when we all take a picture, the dean brings me in the front. in the first three we take, i am not smiling.

it is odd. “i exist.” i say, “i deserve to exist.”

“oh my god,” he groans, “we get it, you’re a feminist.”

[homunculus-argument]

Depressing but somewhat plausible theory for any modern zombie apocalypse show that simply refuses to just call them "zombies":

Early on during the pandemic, various media corporations tried their best to cover up what was happening, and anything mentioning the word "zombie" got shadowbanned, so a mountain of euphenisms came up instead because everyone knows what you're talking about when making a post complaining about how you'd really need to go get groceries but your neighbours have ~*forgotten their manners*~ and are blocking the door.

And anyone born after the fall - or who was simply too young to remember at the time - has no knowledge of why every group seems to have a different name for the zeds, walkers, the dead, strangers, infected, visitors, etc.
