Misread a label that actually said "98% Naturally Derived, Cruelty Free" as "98% Cruelty Free". For a second I was like ... so this shower gel was made with 2% cruelty? Is that good? How does one even measure that?🤔

The testing facility has pizza parties for its workers every day and a room full of rabbits, not to test on, but to frolic with. And in the basement, there is a broom closet with a child in it who has forgotten how to speak because they have been there so long. Would you buy shampoo here? Would you walk away?

Everything else aside, you have to admit that this would be the sickest party you’ve ever seen.

All day the stars watch from long ago my mother said I am going now when you are alone you will be all right whether or not you know you will know

look at the old house in the dawn rain all the flowers are forms of water the sun reminds them through a white cloud touches the patchwork spread on the hill the washed colors of the afterlife that lived there long before you were born see how they wake without a question even though the whole world is burning

how to have a sturgeon summer:

1. be quite large

2. use your barbels to find prey among the gravel along the bottom of the river

3. extend your siphon-like mouth to eat small fish, shellfish, and crustaceans

4. launch yourself out of the water and make a big splash just for fun

5. show off them scutes!

you can now enjoy your sturgeon summer

Yes, tumblr ads are weird and unsettling but I don’t think they’ll ever top this one.

“Disappear for 3 month” is insane. Like? Stay in the house! Let people wonder if you’re dead!!! Has there been a murder or an accident? Did she get plastic surgery that didn’t settle right? Is there a weird secret pregnancy going on? No one will know!

“Keep it private until it’s [sic] done” kinda sounds… not threatening, but just strange. Is there a dirty secret here??? What needs to be hidden so badly?

Weight loss ads on the internet are garbage, of course, but this one is just extra odd. It looks like a poster you’d see in a church with a Bible verse on it. Or the cover of a romance thriller knocking off Colleen Hoover. Visually, this is aimed at the kind of people who are into Colleen Hoover and/or vaguely uplifting motivational posters. IDK about the berries though. Is that what we are eating? Just some berries on a stick??

Disappear for three months. Don’t tell anyone you’re doing a weird and probably dangerous scam diet. Re-appear smaller and more frail. People will compliment you on weight loss but also maybe wonder if you’re seriously ill. Or maybe you *did* have a baby but you gave it away.

Diet culture is such bullshit. The marketing tactics don’t even make sense anymore (not that they ever did.) There’s an implication that if you’re 180 lbs you aren’t even fit to be out in society. Hide your hideous body until you’ve lost weight.
