the other Mike Pence

So there’s a guy on Twitter who is named Mike Pence but is not the soon-to-be Vice President garbage monster. Here’s his bio:

He’s amazing. Here’s a recent tweet he posted:

so many gifs of ostriches doing their mating dance for humans but did u know

they actually did a study on this

and ostriches repeatedly found humans more attractive than other ostriches

yes

ostrich farmers have trouble setting up their ostriches with each other because they’re just not interested, they want their farmers instead

it’s incredible

[ipecacandcivetoil-deactivated20]

also, ostriches show notable sexual preference

some male ostriches will only display for male humans, some will display for anybody, some will display for female humans only

[nekosaws]

I can’t believe ostriches are reverse furries

my great-grandfather had to leave italy in the 20′s because he hit a fascist with a tuba, so if you think I am going to take this sitting down you are going to have to catch these hands and also this tuba

i really love our generation’s joke trend of like, very calm but incredibly inflated hyperbole. like nobody says “oh she’s pretty” anymore we say “i would willingly let her murder me” and everyone is just like “lol same”

i think “same” is also great and “me,” i love when somebody reblogs a picture of like, a lizard, and just says “me” and we all know exactly what they mean. the current online Humor Discourse is remarkable because we trade exclusively in metaphors and implications and nobody ever, ever says anything outright and yet EVERYBODY understands each other perfectly

and weirdly enough, instead of being left out, autistic people seem to be really super good at this shit. i don’t know why. it should be the opposite. but half the bloggers who can make me choke-laugh with a deadpan word or two are autistic.

MY TIME HAS COME So lemme explain you a thing. The first is called ‘hyperverbal’. It applies to a LOT of us–instead of no language, we have very flowery\precise language, and use a lot of words. And then some of us are ‘nonverbal’–we just don’t have a lot of language skills in our brains. Tumblr!speak works for *both*. On the one hand, one word conveys multiple meanings–how nonverbal people communicate. On the other, flowery phrases and hyperbole are right up the hyperverbal folks’ alley! So basically, Tumblr has helped create a language most autistic people ‘speak’ really, really well, and *it is the most glorious thing*. A lot of us switch between non and hyperverbal, and for me especially, it’s a godsend–when I need to script, there are easy phrases that mean a lot; when I want to be flowery or precise, I can! It is THE GREATEST THING EVER.

[plantfunerals]

“I’ve been on my own since the age of twelve. My mom decided that her drug-dealing boyfriend was more important than me. One night I came home from playing and the key wouldn’t turn. I started banging on the door but nobody answered. I lived with friends for the next few years. I went from house to house, couch to couch. My friend’s mom was a bartender so she got me a job washing dishes. I saved enough money to get a car when I turned sixteen, and I drove out to Arizona. I was pregnant by the time I was twenty-one. My son changed my life. I didn’t turn into Mother Theresa overnight. I had to unlearn everything I’d ever known. I had to learn how to do things the right way, not sell drugs, not cut corners. Right now I’m trying to finish college while being a single mother. I’m taking care of my eighty-three year old grandmother. I just beat cancer for the second time in four years. But things seem to be quiet now. I’m always holding my breath, though. The story of my life has been the calm before the storm.”
