"you can't say you love animals and then eat them" WRONG!!!! you can't say you love animals if you don't love predators too

Got thrown out of the tarot reading for counting cards. fuck this place

[elucubrare]

You’ve heard of “i didn’t say it was good, i said i liked it,” get ready for “i said it had some technical problems & didn’t fully deliver on its themes, not that i didn’t like it”

[elucubrare]

#I voiced a criticism of some of its aspects#which in no way implies I did not like it#“and especially does not imply that I would like to hear a defense of it of the form 'shut up and let people have fun'”

REALLY endorsing these tags from galileosballs

Típico de belgas malinois

[ceruinus]

Good video showcasing exactly why these dogs are not suited to 99 percent of households.

They've gotten very popular recently and I suspect theyre also being dumped in shelters at a high rate

[ultramarineblues]

I can confirm they are.

Which is one of the reasons I reblogged this, I vaguely hope it might make someone somewhere reconsider their choices

as a former escape room host i highly recommend doing an escape room as a first date. its a great way to learn how ppl react under pressure and how well they collaborate with you right off the bat. also more than once ive seen people enter an escape room as a couple and exit broken up LOL its a fantastic litmus test

[kiwi]

sorry to broadcast ur tags but this is also a valuable part of the litmus test! it seems like you learned a lot about how this person makes you feel in their social group. they didn't go out of their way to include you, and neither did their friends. therefore you can come to a pretty good conclusion about how you might feel being part of their life outside of an escape room; someone who doesnt include you or your feelings in a game is likely going to do the same in other situations

[softness-and-shattering]

An experiment with a clear negative outcome is still a successful experiment.

I like my fictional relationships "milkshake spilled in backseat of the car and rapidly dripping everywhere" levels of messy.

[mitchellmayhew]

Oh a short and sweet one! Thanks for the tag @possiblythembo

Reading: Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, which I could probably finish in a couple hours but I'm taking my time with it.

Last Movie: I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House, which I've watched a million times but still love all the same.

Last TV Show: It's on Netflix so I'm not sure if that counts, but I just finished season one of Beastars.

Last Song: "Aneurysm" by The Dream Eaters

Coffee or Tea: I'm going through a cold brew phase, mostly to combat the heat. I'm kind of tea'd out but I'll drink it if offered.

Working On: A story!

I don't know who's open to tagging or not uhhhh sorry I think the bloodline is severed here.

Lets Hear It For The Boy

[mitchellmayhew]

Someone go tell Chris Fleming about tumblr we need him here.

[albatris]

“How many road fatalities were recorded in South Australia in 2017?”

Your head snaps up. You’re flung back through your teenage years till you hit sixteen, and you’re hunched over your laptop at 3 AM, and you’re combing through SAPOL statistics and asking yourself why you escaped with only a few bruised ribs when she—

“Oh, that’s an easy one!” Sexist Pig says.

“Everyone knows that,” says Red Suit Jacket.

Bella nods enthusiastically and your scribe scrawls down 100 as your head continues ringing. Who the hell has that kind of knowledge on hand? You know exactly who, and it’s not fucking Bella.

Are these questions about you?

happy Quiz Fright release! please enjoy for two crisp australian dollars on my ko-fi, or PWYW! <3

I describe this one as a twilight zone episode with more graphic violence haha. I suggest going in blind, but trigger warnings are provided on the ko-fi page :3

reblogs are appreciated, too! they help my spores spread and I love to spread my spores

ok bye
