A Normal Sort Of Weird

Howzit! (She/her)

[arctic-hands]

Here's a new one for author men:

As I breasted boobily up the stairs from my building's laundry faculties, I was so focused on not having an asthma attack from the effort that I failed to notice that my very large left breast–unimpeded by a bra and free swangin' in my my thin cotton pajama shirt–had brushed up against the phone I had idly on in my left hand and as the nip brushed against the touchscreen through the thin fabric it opened my text messages and began swyping gibberish in reply to an automated message regarding an upcoming appointment

[rityrooroo]

This has happened to me many times 😂🙈

[scottbaiowulf]

i still get so happy when i see a breasted boobily post in the wild or when a friend sends me one. i can't remember how long ago i made that post but the phrasing is still around! i single handedly changed the way the english speaking world talks about titties

Suspected arsonist Cody Balmer targeted Pa. Gov. Josh Shapiro’s home over what pol ‘wants to do to Palestinian people’: report

The alleged firebug Cody Balmer called 911 following the Sunday attack, identified himself by name, and delivered the chilling message addre

Once again the nypost is the only paper that gives a shit about Jews being attacked.

“The suspect in the arson attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence said he targeted the Jewish politician over “what he wants to do to the Palestinian people,” according to documents.

The alleged firebug Cody Balmer called 911 following the Sunday attack, identified himself by name, and delivered the chilling message addressed to the governor over the phone, according to a search warrant obtained by PennLive.”

Hate crime for Palestine. Hamas would be proud.

Oh and he was a child abuser and wife beater.

“Balmer was out on bail for a simple assault charge at the time of the attack — accused of stomping on his 10-year-old son’s broken leg and battering his estranged wife, according to a police report.

Family members attempted to have him committed to a mental institution in the days prior to the arson attack.”

Like be so fucking for real you cannot get any more blatent than that and people are still denying that there is an antisemitism problem within the pro Palestine movement.

#i voted no country#BUT the caveat is i'm british#i'd be more scared in america because your giant backass country is filled with cannibals and hillbillies in the country#i've seen the movies#here you just get an angry farmer#also this is half hyperbole#but you have to admit that american country is larger and scarier than british country

I'm not from the USA but I really don't think "cannibals and hillbillies" out roaming the countryside are gonna attack your car if you go driving after dark. Not to put too fine a point on it but I think you might've watched a few too many horror movies made by filmmakers who hate poor people.

No.

I’m South African. I’ve driven in Hillbrow at night and been on night drives in the bush.

I thought I might share one of my new tattoos. A couple years ago, a dear friend and I coined the term “fish bag moment”

A fish bag moment might be sitting all alone in an empty new apartment after coming out and upending your life, or starting a new job in a brand new line of work because it’s closer to your dreams

It’s what happens when you take a leap of faith or make a hard decision for yourself, when the future is so hard to visualize and everything feels scary. You’re just a fish in a bag and you can’t see where you’re going

But you’re on your way to a bigger aquarium

[haunteddollsgeorg]

Ugh a coworker I adore is leaving for a new job opportunity. She was talking about how she’s happy and excited, but also sad and scared and nervous. I was like “omg you’re having a fishbag moment! Those feelings are what this tattoo represents!”

She said “I don’t like this feeling why would you get that tattooed on you”

And I said “because it means you’re on your way to a bigger aquarium 😌”

She had to walk away bc she started crying lol, and then shouted “THAT WAS CUTE” at me from down the hall

The bimbo feminism girls who love Legally Blonde really missed like the whole point of the movie. The point is that she's not a brainless bimbo. She saves the day with her knowledge of haircare, sure, but she got in the room by going to law school. You cannot reduce that movie down to "Girl knowledge saves the day!" because the perm wouldn't have mattered if she hadn't spent the entire rest of the movie working her ass off in an unrelated field. The feminist angle is that she can have girly interests and also be smart, not that having girly interests is feminist in itself

[jellogram]

I think it's also worth adding that the main reason Elle is so effective is because she's sweet to everyone and finds ways to connect with people. She's not sitting around judging other women for knowing less about beauty than she does. So if you're making tiktoks about being That Girl or snarking at other girls, you did NOT learn your lesson from Elle Woods.

Oh, we really can't be keeping THAT gem in the tags.

I am interested in whether and how this has changed in the past year.

continuation not contrition

[starlightomatic]

one person in the notes said they accidentally voted for "i am a zionist and want the war to continue," and since there are 101 votes and that option is at 1%, we can gather that there are currently 0 votes for "i want the war to continue"

[starlightomatic]

another accidental vote, this time for "secret third thing and want the war to resume"

[donuts-multifandom-hellhole]

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating

[sleepymccoy]

@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally

Source (non Aboriginal)

And a quote I picked out from a longer interview with an Aboriginal local elder about the area where he touched on the history

Source (the rest of the interview is really interesting and all transcribed, have a look if you're curious)

[chaotic-archaeologist]

This is part of my Ancient Civilizations class that I teach, which does a whole week about Australia and the Torres Strait Islands because I was sick of never seeing them represented in USAmerican history contexts. With the help of @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist I've learned so many incredible things about Australia's past and it's been incredibly rewarding to share them with students.

[aggressivelybicaptainamerica]

My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.

The story? 6 sisters running from something that took their 7th sister.

Ariel and Kfir Bibas were identified among the remains of the hostages released. The remains of the woman released with them, supposedly their mother, were not identified as Shiri Bibas. A preschooler and an infant were kidnapped and violently murdered, used to taunt their also kidnapped father while their captors claimed they were still alive, and their remains were held hostage until they were paraded around in front of a crowd by their killers with photos of their smiling faces as a backdrop and their "arrest" dates listed on the caskets. We don't know where Shiri Bibas is or why she wasn't returned, only that Yarden Bibas now has to bury their children without her.

There is no nuance here. There is nothing that can justify this. It's not resistance to kidnap and murder children and then use them to psychologically torture their family and community for over a year. I don't know what else to say.

[wiisagi-maiingan]

Shiri Bibas' body has been released and identified by authorities. According to forensics, she and her sons were all murdered, not killed in air strikes or through any kind of accident; Ariel and Kfir are estimated to have been murdered late November 2023.

The Bibas family has asked for photos of the Hamas display/celebration of their loved ones to not be posted or shared. Yarden Bibas has also requested that details of his sons' deaths also not be shared; saying that they were murdered by their captors is enough.

Two little boys were brutally murdered alongside their mother and their bodies were held captive for a year and it feels like the entire world is just silent.

[goatfactsofficial]

I have spent 502 days hearing the watermelon crowd harp on about children dying and suffering and starving. Never once have I heard them mention the Bibas family. And if it is confirmed to be their bodies, I'm going to continue hearing nothing about their tragedy from anyone but Jews.

These kids could've come home if only the world rallied together for them. Instead it was decided that they were evil colonizers who deserved only death, for the simple crime of being born within some imaginary lines on a map.

Despite all the cries of "Think of the children!!!" The world decided that Ariel and Kfir were not children, but Jews. And we all know what the only good Jew is in their eyes.

[rityrooroo]

They’ve all already decided that Hamas saying they were killed by an air strike (with no evidence provided) is more believable than the autopsy results showing they were killed by hand (Israel has sent the reports and results to other countries for verification).

I’m not sure if that means strangulation or by beating but I think it’s splitting hairs. It’s kind of irrelevant exactly how when we’re discussing the murders of 10 month and 4 year old CHILD HOSTAGES.

In case anyone with critical thinking is reading this. Why would Hamas have to force Noa Gilboa to play dead in that video if they actually had real bodies of Israelis killed in Israeli strikes?

[seventyfaces]

One Jewish concept -- that is not directly tied to religion -- that I would like goyim to adopt is the concept of parnassah. AKA your livelihood.

Your job is not your entire identity. You job is your parnassah. You need it to live, but your job is not your life. It's just the paycheck.

So many people get so tied up in what their job is and they care so much about it to exclusion of all else, including family/community/friends and hobbies. And for what?
