me: yeah so a few years ago someone invented infinite scrolling and really it was a terrible idea
the elf I just hooked up with, taking the lavender and honeysuckle lollipop from their mouth: An infinite scroll... most elfmaidens learn to enchant a scroll to never end before they're a mere 300 years old. It saves on paper.
me: oh see that's just writing, with social media it's really bad, it just leads to people doomscrolling all day
the elf I just hooked up with, spluttering and panicked: The Doomscroll! Be silent human, thou shoulds't not speak the name of that fell parchment
me: oh so you get it
I have been battling a very resistant Pneumonia for almost two weeks now.
The first Antibacterial they had me on at the begining was a Z-pack, and I liked it but it came back with vengeance despite taking the z-pack exactly as prescribed.
Now, they got me on levofloxacin, and this shit kinda terrifies me after only 2 days of being on it.
I was trying to write in my journal today and I noticed how hard it was to do just that. Like, my hand writing can be rough but this felt different, like I was actively fighting something. I noticed it was bc my hand had a tremor. At first I thought it was just bc I was tired, but I remembered my doctor explained levofloxacin is kind of intense. And after looking it up...no shit.
Now, I am just weighing the options of whether fighting a very resilient bacterial infection outweighs the cost of potential permanent nerve and joint damage.
And I am thinking of extending my work leave only bc these side effects are serious enough and my job is just intense enough that I don't think I could balance those two things.
But it means having to advocate for myself and do the one thing I struggle above all else to do: file more paperwork and ask people with very demanding jobs to take time from those demands to file paper work at the whims of an insurance company.
A coworker's child stopped them a morning before work this week to give them a small rock. Saying, "This is my best friend and he wants to go with you to work." At work she and I got talking and she stopped and said, "I don't know why, I feel like you need a best friend." And gave me the rock her son gave her.
This rock now travels with me in my pocket until it tells me to give him to someone else.
This is animism at its finest. Receiving awakened rocks from children that spoke them into being
I love this so much
This is why I love the “Covid is faked” conspiracies. Like really?? You think the WHOLE WORLD is working together THAT EFFICIENTLY?? Even the countries that hate each other? Wow cheers for the optimism
Look up the manhattan project you dipshits
You mean the project where the only reason there was any secrecy was that none of the people had any part of the wide reaching project (Oppenheimer, Einstein, and all the others were pretty much kept way away from eachother) and was almost brought down as a secret in the group by one of the guys being an amateur safe cracker? That Manhattan Project?
The one where everybody near Los Alamos knew that something big was happening, because they were actively hiring during the War?
The one that had so many close calls to they’re working on some kind of bomb that by the time the war was over you had people involved blabbing, to the point the Rosenbergs happened?
THAT Manhattan Project?
The Manhattan project, the one that the editor of a science fiction magazine (I think it was Astounding) figured out was happening because all the physicists who subscribed suddenly changed their addresses to Los Alamos?
That Manhattan project?
We’re talking about the Manhattan project that Kodak had clearance to know about (and even got advanced warnings about tests) because they figured it out when radioactive fallout from the tests contaminated their x-ray film? That one?
And that was still just one government using the fullest extent of their power to try and keep just one secret in a time before cellular phone cameras or the internet. Imagine thinking multiple, rival governments agreed to fake a virus to fool just some of their citizens into staying home from work, while also agreeing to pay billions of dollars to compensate them for it.
i love this new gen of pop stars so much
an absolutely humungous update they just keep getting better
I think this needs an important addendum:
Not only did Billie Eilish donate $11.5M, she also called out a room full of billionaires, including Mark Zuckerberg, directly to their faces, saying "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but, yeah, give your money away, shorties."
The $11.5M she's donating is about 1/4 if her net worth. Imagine if a billionaire did that? If Mark Zuckerberg donated 1/4 of his net worth, it would be about $55 BILLION... and he's still have over $100 billion left.
And, yet, unsurprisingly, people are mad at Billie Eilish for what she said and not at the billionaires for hoarding all the money and resources
I am constantly thinking about this
This mild Wikipedia sentence is like the understatement of all time
Here are some crazy grasshopper mouse facts for those who are not familiar with the most badass mouse species on the planet
- They are primarily carnivorous, and their diet is made up of not only bugs but also snakes, lizards and other mice.
- They hunt like true predators, slowly stalking and creeping up on their prey before ambushing them. They will sometimes let out a screech as they attack.
- Like wolves, they howl to establish territory and have a specially developed throat to produce louder vocalizations. They will stand up on their hind legs and throw their head back to howl- a sound that can be heard from 100 meters away!
- Grasshopper mouse behavior is linked to lunar cycles and they are more active during a full moon.
- These mice have been hunting bark scorpions and evolving alongside them for so long that they’ve evolved a mutation where scorpion venom that is lethal to other animals is converted into a painkiller in the grasshopper mouse’s body.
see one thing i will never forgive george lucas for is that he clearly made. stylistic choices in regards to the dialogue in the prequels but completely missed out on the chance to give padme an insane monologue of her own. her whole life is one big performance art, if her outfits are deliberately over the top as a way of self expression then her speech patterns could easily work the same way. like yeah yeah anakin's sand monologue, whatever. he's just awkward, theres a difference between someone being bad at sounding coherent & constantly voicing thoughts that seem only vaguelly connected to anyone without a permanent residence in their head and the High Literature type monologues where you wonder wtf the person is talking abt bc they sound unhinged but also you're fairly certain their brain is bigger than yours so your only option is to humbly accept that you're the problem & stay in your lane. star wars has that high fantasy element to it that carries into the dialogue sometimes but you'd kinda ASSUME the person most affected by it would be the. yk. the queen character. the noblewoman. if theres a single person in all of star wars who really should sound like an elf it should be her. if she lived to raise her kids shed have 3 yos running around saying goofy shit like "behold" and "beg your pardon". all of her conversations with anakin are just them gassing each other up until they both sound like utterly pretentious mary shelley enthusiasts doing their best to discuss the very profound topic of the salad they just had for lunch
@capablecapybara YOU GET IT
and then ofc anakin is like there were no greens where i am from... the suns brought no life to us, only death... the heat came from below and the blows from above... but now i get to share this with you and it promises me that there is no death in this place... it is so simple now. you will not wilt away like the spinach because i will be a gardener and save you... but not the spinach, for the spinach must be eaten.
#i think this is how they keep their relationship under wraps#someone asks anakin what he thinks abt senator amidala and hes like shes like spinach...#so theyre like ok. whatever that means buddy. go blow up someone with your mind or something#and the exact same thing happens on padmes end ofc
what if he just thinks this is a normal way to talk about people......constantly comparing obi-wan to manure because of how much he helps him grow
new type of guy just dropped
I love Laura Kinney. I love Logan Howlett.
But it is so hard to talk about their relationship, bc my daddy issues pop up something fierce and it takes me everything to stop myself from crying, throwing up and chucking something through a window.
I know what it is like to love someone who is full of rage and sadness. Who nurses their emotions through a bottle. Who rejects any kind of affection and can only express harshness and cruelty. Who is half of everything you are, and whose reflection is an ugly one. But you know there is good in you. And you know there is good in him. So, why can't either of you share it with each other? Why does everything have to be a fight?
Laura got her Logan in the end. Yes, he was the worst version of himself. A guy who didn't come through for anyone, not even himself. Who ran from everything. But who still climbed from the trunk of that Honda Odyssey. Who willingly gave his life to save his friend. And who finally walked towards something, rather than away. Despite it all, she was right...he really is a good man.
My Logan, never even got in the Honda Odyssey. He is still in the void, drinking himself stupid. Never confronting a thing.
My biggest Tumblr regret was being a fan of Sherlock during SuperWhoLock.
I am watching Supernatural all the way through for the first time, in the year of the Old Gods, and the New, 2025.
Episode 2: W*nd*g*
(I am using the image from Jessica John's book, bc they are a Cree author who wrote about the subject of this episode and did a far better job with it than this episode did.)
So, I didn't hate this episode. I didn't really like it either. Knowing it was written and filmed in 2004/2005 and doesn't look like they credited or consulted any Native writers/folklorists/historians it isn't the worst peice of media about this "monster."
For one, it gets the general idea of how they come to be on this corporeal plane: someone who is starving eats human flesh and becomes one. It doesn't get across that at its essence it is literally a spirit of greed and consumption that looks for people who are weak of spirit: either bc of starvation or otherwise. This spirit of insatiable hunger influences those it can through their thoughts or dreams...slowly convincing them to consume human flesh. At a certain point, the person transforms and the spirit has taken over completely. Upon destroying the body, you release the spirit, which goes on to hunt again.
I am not necessarily someone who believes stories can only be told by certain groups of people, I do, however, believe some groups tell the story better. This episode could have used some Native American/First Nations consultants who could have better guided this episode, specifically Cree, Huron, Haudenosaunee, Blackfoot, and other nations who experienced harsh winters where this story is often heard.
Other than that, the episode is just ho-hum. Sam is bitter and angry. Dean is wry and sardonic. The expendable characters are just that: expendable.
This is possibly my second time watching this episode and I remembered NOTHING about it, and I expect I may forget it again.
Episode Rating: 4/10

First Episode: Pilot
This is the only Episode I have seen more than once. But it is still a solid Episode. It sets up the characters and world rather nicely. We get their tragic backstory, weird childhood, maladaptive tendencies, and a rather interesting folklore based horror story all in one episode.
Lady in White, Wailing Woman, La Llorona...every place I have ever lived has one. Whether she haunts a graveyard, or a remote country road, or a bridge, her backstory is almost always the same: she lost her kids in a traumatic way and cannot rest bc of that. This Supernatural episode leans more towards La Llorona: a woman whose husband is unfaithful and in a fit of rage she kills her children and then herself when she realizes what she has done. But it is also obvious the writers drew from various inspirations of this ghost story: combining them all into one spirit that bends her own rules a lot. I do think it is executed rather well and I found the atmosphere and vibes to be *chef's kiss.* I am a sucker for small town folk horror.
Overall episode rating: 7/10
Chris Pine: Yeah I mean I’m NAMED Kirk and I’m gonna have SOME of Kirk’s personality traits but I am trying to somewhat make my own character
Zachary Quinto (in his oddly high pitched voice): I WILL be emotive because I MUST portray Spock’s inner turmoil! But not too much! Still gotta stay true to the character!
Karl Urban: I fused souls with DeForrest Kelly.
I absolutely love the casting for the AOS movies because yeah Chris Pine kinda looks like a yassified Jim Kirk, and Zachary Quinto does look like a younger Spock. But then they looked at big, tall, broad shouldered, muscular action man Karl Urban and went. Yeah, I think he can play scrawny bean pole shrimp postured, looks like a light gust of wind would blow him away, Leonard McCoy. And by god, were they correct because it was like the spirit of Deforest Kelley himself possessed him to play Bones.
I am glad we got the movies we did but I wish we could have gotten more.
I loved Karl Urban in LOTR but there was something about his role as Bones that just made me so starry eyed for him.
Hercules/Xena vs Lord of the Rings
So many recognizable faces. Many of the actors have several roles in HTLJ/XWP/YH and in those cases I have simply chosen the most reoccurring or prominent character. Did you catch everyone?
