Not me explaining that here on Tumblr tits is a gender neutral term for big chests unless the person has said they don't like it

[ineffectualdemon]

On a serious note people being unironically horny about cis men and referring to their chests as tits in their horny rantings has made me feel more comfortable as someone who is transmasc

Like I don't have huge dysphoria about my chest because I'm not very well endowed but I still have some and like thinking: "I'm a sexy dude with sexy tits" is actually a good feeling for me personally

[official-boob-posts]

my blog is a safe place for the gender neutral usage of tits

scene: a group of 40-50 year old ladies talking about menopause but the more one of them describes her symptoms, the more obvious it is that she's actually developing mutant powers. like

"ugh and the night sweats, and the hot flashes? I hate it!" "god, right? and the glowing eyes first thing in the morning? like i need that along with all the new body hair, am I right?" "... what was that, debra"

[ladyshinga]

#she DID bring it up to her doctor and he was just like 'yeah that's normal for a woman your age'

not looking up from his clipboard at all as he adds in an almost bored tone, "maybe try losing some weight"

This is mildly blasphemous, but in the Toy Story universe do baby Jesus figurines from nativity sets think they’re actually Jesus, or are they just like. Babies

[thestuffedalligator]

Y’all see the words “This is mildly blasphemous, but” and immediately reblog

Yet, we persisted.

Highlights from the conference room where they nominated contenders for Word of the Year 2023:

• They put Skibidi Toilet on the projector to explain what “skibidi” means.

• Baby Gronk was mentioned.

• We discussed the Rizzler.

• “Cunty” was nominated.

• “Enshittification” was suggested for EVERY category.

• “Blue Check” (like from Twitter) was briefly defined as “Someone who will not Shut The Fuck Up”

• The person writing notes briefly defined babygirl as “referencing [The Speaker]”. He is now being called babygirl in the linguist groupchats.

• MULTIPLE people raised their hand to say “I cannot stress this enough: ‘Babygirl’ refers to a GROWN MAN”

[kwekstra]

When technical issues occurred while voting on “kenaissance”, everyone had to reassure the speaker, Ben Zimmer, that he was “benough”

[kwekstra]

In a stunning upset, the last-minute nomination “(derogatory)” DEFEATS “cunty” as the most useful/most likely to succeed word of 2023.

[kwekstra]

Someone renominates “babygirl” for word of the year, saying that they have spent the past year trying to figure out if people are “little meow meows, blorbos, or babygirls”. This is in front of a room of hundreds of people.

ENSHITTIFICATION WINS WORD OF THE YEAR 2023

[dkpsyhog]

While verifying this was true (it is) I discovered that there is a wikipedia article on enshittification

[mostlysignssomeportents]

Even though this means I'm going to end up with a poop emoji on my headstone, I'm ok with it.

[kwekstra]

UM.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW

@mostlysignssomeportents IS THE PERSON WHO COINED THE TERM "ENSHITTIFICATION"

adding this one

[deathbyotpin123]

What if Jensen was stuck in Supernatural for 15 years because the universe knew he was too powerful so he had to be contained? But now he's free and the straight men are no longer safe.

[bold, centered text] Forty-Two Percent [bold ends]

So how much is “adequate”?

Science says: 42 percent.

That’s the percentage of time your body and brain need you to spend resting. It’s about ten hours out of every twenty-four. It doesn’t have to be every day; it can average out over a week or a month or more. But yeah. That much.

“That’s ridiculous! I don’t have that kind of time!” you might protest - and we remind you that we predicted you might feel that way, back at the start of the chapter.

We’re not saying you [italic] should [end italic] take 42 percent of your time to rest; we’re saying if you don’t take the 42 percent , the 42 percent will take you. It will grab you by the face, shove you to the ground, put its foot on your chest, and declare [image ends here, mid-sentence]

Here’s the last paragraph, completed courtesy of Goodreads:

We’re not saying you should take 42 percent of your time to rest; we’re saying if you don’t take the 42 percent, the 42 percent will take you. It will grab you by the face, shove you to the ground, put its foot on your chest, and declare itself the victor.

[katrinastratford]

I did math!

In a 30 day month there are 720 hours.

Assuming you get 8 hours of sleep each night (ha!), that’s 240 hours of sleep/rest.

But 42% of 720 is 302.4, which means you need another 62.4 hours of rest a month. That’s about 2 hours a day, or about 4 entire days (16 hours each, not double counting sleep) of just resting.

If you’re looking at those numbers thinking, “Who has that kind of free time?” well…that’s why we’re all burnt out!
