Iceland is fucking bizarre my name change made the news

[hjartasalt]

Like just @ me at this point I'm literally the only person in iceland (and very possibly the world) who has the first name Lauf

(Article title reads "Lauf and Birningur in group of new names in the name register")

[hjartasalt]

No one lives here so now two of our biggest news outlets are vagueing about me lmao

[hjartasalt]

Hmm you're right. Correction: two of our biggest media outlets are talking about me specifically because they are obsessed with me

[hjartasalt]

This morning I showed up to work and my boss was like "congratulations :))" and I was kinda confused so asked her on what and she said "your name, I heard about it on the radio"

So far I have counted two online articles and apparently the radio is also talking about my name change so I'll keep you guys updated when I'm on national tv or something

With a little legwork we can make more people on Tumblr see this than the entire population of Iceland.

endless list of favourite films: The Phantom of the Opera (2004), dir. Joel Schumacher

‘Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour. Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender. Hearing is believing, music is deceiving; hard as lightening, soft as candlelight — dare you trust the music of the night?’

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER 1.16 → "The Deserter"

[jewish-joy]

Last year, I befriended a Catholic seminarian. We've gotten to be pretty decent friends. Seeing as he was staying in town for the summer and I wasn't, I entrusted him with caring for my plant.

He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"

"What?"

He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"

"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."

Upon seeing his stricken face, I realized something went wrong. Turns out, this entire time, he's been including my plant in on his prayers and leaving her near icons.

Listen, totally cool. My plant becoming Catholic is a great deal for her not dying over the summer. But now I must navigate this interfaith household. Keep me in your thoughts.

#i love prayer plants but they're fussy so I don't keep them#can we have a picture op they're so pretty

Behold, Dorothea

(Naming my plant "Gift of God," and then giving her to a seminarian with just the explanation that it's a prayer plant? Okay, that's my bad.)

[jewish-joy]

I should also add- I ran into my rabbi and explained the situation. I then asked, earnestly, if there was a remedy. A mikveh of sorts, or a beit din, or something.

He turned to me, sighed, and said in a very deadpan tone-- "Plants don't have covenants, Joy,"

So Dorothea's a free agent according to rabbinic opinion. I guess I'll permit her to be Roman Catholic.

The earthy smell of rain is one of the most divine scents I’ve ever beheld.

[beemovieerotica]

i have a box of bacteria that produce that scent and i sniff it whenever i need to feel something real

[punkrorschach]

is this a personal box of bacteria?

[beemovieerotica]

my bacteria

[noticesghosts]

How did you get a box of stinky bacteria

[beemovieerotica]

they were part of an abandoned project where people were complaining that giant industrial chicken farms smell like shit (because they are covered in chicken shit) and so it was some scientists’ idea to mix in petrichor-scented bacteria into the chicken litter/manure so the farms would instead smell like grass after the rain. idk why it never took off but the bacteria is mine now and i huff it hard.

so i hauve covid rn and i must say, American cold medicine is the absolute bees knees. You go to a UK pharmacy and they tenderly press like eight (8) paracetamol into the palm of your hand... God FORBID you're sick in France, i had to scour every pharmacy in Paris for something that wasn't HOMEOPATHIC PASTILLES. meanwhile last night i took the last of my stash of Nyquil that expired in 2019 and it was like getting hit by a fucking baseball bat (affectionate). press X to timeskip. LOVE me a cheeky little medically induced coma. you can really feel that it's a precursor to meth. i know that everything is fucking awful over there my friedns and my heart goes out to every one of you but if you need one small bright light of national pride in this time of strife please know that i envy you your cold medicine every day

i once took an american antihistamine pill just a basic one for seasonal allergies and i had to immediately lay down and while doing so i vividly hallucinated that i was a steerage passenger on the titanic resigned to my death as my cabin filled up rapidly with water. then i blacked out and when i woke up again my allergies were gone for the entire season.
