we need fewer songs about falling in love and breaking up and MORE songs about famous disasters of the sea
being told youād cruise the seas for american gold youād fire no guns, shed no tears, now youāre a broken man on a halifax pier might not be a universal experience, but like neither is the club. so a little perspective might be nice
This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!
Translating this into tumblr's preferred public service announcement format for this kind of alert:
Or this preferred Tumblr announcement system:
The god of the evangelists outside this station has clearly blessed them greatly: with joy, a sense of community, and three big fuck off tripod speakers.
If only he had also bestowed upon them a sense of empathy or spacial awareness, then we might be really getting somewhere.
after 2 years working outdoors all day i finally got stung by an onion for the first time yesterday and i wasnt even doing anything there wasnt even a nest nearby
a wasp. i was looking at a onion just now sorry
Listen to The Midnight Walk (Original Game Soundtrack) on TIDAL
I can more or less guarantee that this will be my most listened-to album of the whole year.
It is melancholy and strange and beautiful (much like the game, which I have not played but have watched, shoutout to Scary Game Squad). Probably 80% of the words I have successfully written this year will have been written to this album (or the Warriors playlist which this album forms the backbone of).
"For anyone who doesn't know what a Bacon number is, it is the degrees of separation a person is from the actor Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon's number is 0, Someone who has worked with him directly's number is 1. Someone who has worked with that person's number is 2, and so on. (Here is a link to the Wikapedia page on Bacon numbers for more details.)
If you don't know your Bacon number, you can check it on The Oracle of Bacon by putting in the name of the most famous person that you or someone you know have met"

Hilarious news: 3 steps to Bacon via Hans Zimmer (in several dozen different ways), but only 2 via John Barrowman.
I watched the live action version of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" on Youtube and I was not ready for the utter lack of emotions from the CGI animals.
Nala looking concerned about Simba hiding something about his past, a comparison:
Also, in CGI this song called "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" does not take place at night.
Reblog this and tell me what was your biggest crying over a piece of fiction. You can be vague if you don't want to spoil.

Two World Cup finalists from opposing teams in this fucking picture, this sport isn't real
Context for anyone who is wondering: Lamine Yamal's parents won an UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot in which BarƧa players posed with kids, and 5 month old Lamine happened to get 20yo Messi. Which is like. Literally insane
Tumblr being the "piss on the poor" reading comprehension site makes sense when you realize that 79% of adults in the US are functionally illiterate. Same goes for Twitter and TikTok.
that's a real high number, sport. where'd you get it?
hey anon
please tell me you didn't google "US literacy rates" and then make the funniest possible mistake one could make in that situation
i learned that actor Danny Trejo has the most on-screen deaths of anyone in Hollywood history, with 65. Followed by Christopher Lee (60), Lance Henriksen (51), Vincent Price (41), Dennis Hopper (41), Boris Karloff (41), and John Hurt (39). (x)
Yet poor Sean Bean is stuck with the reputation for dying in every movie. Unfair.
Give him time, he still has many years of dying yet to come.
Also thereās the question of density vs quantity. If you make a hundred movies and die in 50, and someone else makes 30 movies and dies in 30, the first one has died more, but the second one has died more often per movie.
Itās the DPM ratio that really counts, IMO.
65/402 16% Danny Trejo 60/282 21% Christopher Lee 51/259 20% Lance Henriksen 41/211 19% Vincent Price 41/205 20% Dennis Hopper 41/204 20% Boris Karloff 39/209 19% John Hurt 33/117 28% Sean Bean
Iām so proud of the statistical side of tumblr for coming through on this.
āour teeth and ambitions are baredā is a zeugma
and itās a zeugma where one of the words is literal and one is metaphorical which is the BEST KIND
I didnāt know about zeugmas until just now! That isĀ so awesome, everybody:Ā
zeugĀ·ma ĖzoĶoÉ”mÉ/
noun
a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses (e.g.,John and his license expired last weekĀ ) or to two others of which it semantically suits only one (e.g.,Ā with weeping eyes and heartsĀ ).
ISNāT THAT AWESOME??
#in english class in high school my teacher had us write our own zeugmas in class#and one guy came up with āhe fell from her favorā¦ and the windowā#i am forever looking for opportunities to use that one
She dropped her dress and inhibitions at the door.
Whatās this? My favorite rhetorical device showing up on my dashboard?
IT HAS A NAMEEEE!! OH MY GOD!!!
I LOVE THIIIIIS!!!
One Iāve loved was āon their weekend trip they caught three fish and a coldā
I love these theyāre like a pun and a metaphor wrapped up into one neat phrase

One of my favorite things about having a degree in biochemistry is going undercover at a store like Sephora. I can read the composition of the cosmetics and actually understand them. Thereās no words to describe how great it feels. Itās like being in on an inside joke or secret
The main thing I observe is that a lot of employees recommend makeup that is chemically incompatible. For example, if you ask them to recommend you a foundation and concealer, a lot of times theyāll pick two products that are chemically immiscible, so theyāll NEVER blend together successfully.
Generally foundation/concealer is either water or silicone based. There are upsides to each based on your needs. However, water and silicone are immiscible, and so if your foundation is water based but your concealer is silicone based, you will never get a good blend between these products. Youāll have to go back to switch to something that works.
If you want to test for this in-store, mix the two on the back of your hand. If they form a uniform mixture, theyāre miscible. If they separate, theyāre chemically incompatible, and should not be used together. You can do this for any number of skin products. Primers, moisturizers, foundations, concealers, contour sticks, etc etc. Anything that comes in liquid or paste form.
You donāt need to understand all the chemicals on the label to run this experiment!
As someone in pharmaceutical sciences I also experience similar things, so a hint from me: collagen is useless. In a cream it will not penetrate the skin, so doesn't do anything. As a food supplement, lemme tell you a secret: collagen is a protein. And when you eat protein, your stomach thinks its food and chops it up, so it can be used to make your own protein. Collagen is just expensive protein powder, and doesn't do anything meat or a veggie substitute does.
Re: The Odyssey, someone on--Bluesky, maybe?--mentioned that I wrote "Troy in Fifteen Minutes" back in the day, and I would like to point out that that post is 22 years old. Just in case you haven't sustained any psychic damage today.
