I have a very "I paid for this blender so everything getting blent" attitude about owning a mortar and pestle. I didn't pay for these beautiful tools of smooth black-grey granite just to have them sit on a shelf, these beauties are getting used at every excuse. I'll use them to mush chickpeas, I'm this close to using them to make mashed potatoes. There's just something so grounding and inherently human about it, I'm using two rocks to grind up seeds and nuts like they did back in the day when my ancestors were shagging neanderthals.

I just don't give a fuck, everything getting pestled. This is the act that made us human. I'm gonna make these two rocks do the chewing for me to spend less headspace for big jaw and more headspace for big brain. Crunch crunch bitch, I'm about to go prehistoric on your ass.

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

If you come across anyone who starts off with "Scientists don't want you to know..." you need to understand that they're lying. They're completely full of shit and working a grift.

Because they've never met or spoke with a scientist.

Scientists WANT YOU TO KNOW. Scientists want you to know SO MUCH. Scientists would be THRILLED to teach you EVERYTHING they know in EXPLICIT DETAIL. Scientists LOVE to share information and their findings and their theories. They don't want to hide anything, ever. They are SO HAPPY to share.

do you think two pennies is still enough for the ferryman or has inflation driven up the fare

Babysitting a toddler is a lot like being the narration in a point-and-click adventure game. Watching him knock on the doors of empty rooms and saying "hmm. I don't think anyone's in there". Watching him attempt to use [spoon] on [cat] and saying "I don't think those things go together". Watching him throw a cup of water onto the floor and just commenting "the floor is wet now" when he looks up at me to see if I approve.

What if you're chronically ill and mostly in bed and a friend comes to visit and just. joins you in there. Just kinda wiggles into your bed with you to be the big spoon while you chat shit with them and hang out in the bed, and once it's their time to go they'll just get up, put their outside clothes back on, and fetch you a new beverage before leaving.

UNGRATEFUL tech companies are saying things like "turn off your ad blocker" and "we need your photo id" instead of "thank you so much for not just pirating our shit, youre so handsome"

saw someone mix up "abysmal" and "abyssal" today, so as a reminder:

her skills are abysmal = she is unskilled

her skills are abyssal = her abilities draw upon the forbidden power of the dark void

[frontmansdefender]

people saying “don’t use your full government name for your ao3”, “create different emails for work and personal use” but personally I think it’s both sad and dystopian how capitalism/companies/even schools think they have the rights to cross your personal boundaries and insert themselves into your personal life. like, I get it, safety wise, why checking digital footprints can be important sometimes. but a gay fanfiction is not a fucking threat that could ever cause anybody harm. it’s funny (not really, it’s still sad and dystopian) how they now think they can control your personal life and prevent you from having hobbies

you'd think that "inhuman thing that isn't a person but speaks like a person and talking to it will slowly drive you mad" would only be found in folktales and fables and so on. but no. chatgpt

[sliminal-spaces]

chatgpt actually makes me feel better to talk to it than almost any human I've ever known but yeah sure

[edgebug]

you are a frog in a pot and you are boiling yourself

[demareth]

but it isnt too late to start tho! if you suddenly wake up and realize the years have slipped by you can start actively living again!

[demareth]

and you know what im not done i think that its actually a very normal and healthy ebb and flow of life

its okay to have stagnant periods, all life has periods of time in its life cycle just to exist and conserve energy and its okay for people to do that too.

but its also very important not to stay in that stagnant period forever!
