Going Forward

Finding out what makes me happy and trying to do that. Barefoot horse trimmer and social worker-adjacent. Here be memes, quotes, podcasts sometimes, books, nature, science, and other shenanigans. Good Luck!

i feel like we’re all a little bit too used to living in a world where elephants exist. what do you MEAN they do all that shit with their nose

[gumy-shark]

eating? just use your nose to grab the food. drinking? suck up water in your nose and spray it in your mouth. holding things? good thing you have a nose. overheating? dont worry just splash some water or mud on yourself using-guess what its the fucking nose again. no one else does this

Kurt Vonnegut's descendants sue Anthropic: "Claude's logo is our grandpa's butthole!"

Amidst growing concerns over AI companies infringing on copyrighted material comes a surprising lawsuit: the Vonnegut Estate has decided to sue Anthropic over Claude's logo. Specifically they claim the logo is Kurt's drawing in "Breakfast of Champions"

"When I saw the Claude logo, I thought, 'Something about this stinks,'" said Vonnegut's granddaughter. "Then it dawned on me: 'That's Grandpa's butthole!'"

I had a dream last night that the Decemberists guy put out a new song that was him announcing the band was breaking up, but the song was also his like detailing his future career path, and it was an excruciatingly granular 13.5 minutes of him explaining to us in detail that he was going to become a world renowned marionette maker and like the steps he was going to take to complete this (step 1 was learn to spin flax to make his own cord, step 2 was learn whittling to create his own puppets, step 3 to make his own paints, etc etc. He was going for that vertical slice sort of thing) All the while someone was shouting in the background I DON'T WANNA BREAK UP and WHO'S GOING TO GET MY ACCORDION because apparently there was a custody battle happening for that?? But as it turned out the song was too much of a banger and people wouldn't let them quit and also he had like horrible arthritis in his hands that was preventing him from making the shit so they announced within the week that the band was actually back together and The Marionette Maker's Heart's Desire was like their new #1 hit

Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don’t know, that gaslight gatekeep girlboss meme, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you think modern feminism has been co-opted by corporations. But what you don’t know is that that meme is not from Instagram, it's not from Twitter, it's not from Tiktok, it’s actually from Tumblr. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in January 2021, Tumblr user missnumber1111 posted, "today's agenda: gaslight gatekeep and most importantly girlboss." And then I think it was a-m-e-t-h-y-s-t-r-o-s-e, wasn’t it, who reblogged it with an image of the phrase edited over a piece of "Live, Laugh, Love" wall art? And then gaslight gatekeep girlboss showed up in the feeds of eight different Twitter repost accounts. Then it filtered down through Instagram and then trickled on down into some tragic “alt side of Tiktok” where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that meme represents millions of notes and countless Tumblr users and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from Tumblr when, in fact, you’re wearing the meme that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of “stuff.”

i’m spending today thinking about how saber toothed cats ALSO probably had a potato form.  how they also had a stage where they were fat little babies with very triangle tails and tiny squeaky voices.  how they also probably play wrestled and failed badly at calculating jumps.

i’m going to fistfight god for killing them off before i could personally see fat potato saber kittens

idk how people whistle loud as fuck with their fingers in their mouth because my whistle is little + frail + delicate and every time i try to exploratorily figure it out myself i fail and just end up looking like i'm giving somebody the worst most amelia bedelia type hand blowjob of their life

[storyweavingspider]

“like i'm giving somebody the worst most amelia bedelia type hand blowjob of their life” what does this mean?

[sapphling]

hand blowjob: oral sex performed on the fingers, as elicited by my two fingers in my mouth as i attempt to initiate a whistle

amelia bedelia type: attempting to blow on the fingers to initiate a whistle elicits the image of somebody who thinks a "blowjob" involves physically blowing on the body part(s) of the recipient, which i believe would occur if you were to receive oral sex from amelia bedelia

worst: i am aware of my shortcomings

I've been fed, walked and watered and I've slept enough and been out of the internet and I'm doing crafts.

Why am I still angry.

I walked right into this one like a blind horse into a revolving door.
