“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!

this is actually really helpful and affirming thanks

It's better to practice your instrument for 15 minutes than not at all. It's better to read 3 pages of a book than none. It's better to learn 5 words of a new language than not one. It's more rewarding and good for your mental health to engage in your interests for little bit than not at all, even if you can't focus for very long or don't have a lot of energy.

WTF are those obelisks on the right?…

“It’s digestible” has got to be the laziest goal I’ve ever seen achieved by a food product.

[gingerhaze]

“It’s digestible”

[rhea314]

“It’s digestible” is pertinent!! Okay, for those of you who haven’t researched Crisco for writing fic about gay sex in the mid-late 60s:

The first-edition of The Joy of Gay Sex, published in 1977, declared, “Vegetable shortening may be the best lubricant, since it is not only greasy but also digestible”[4] Such a statement perhaps gives new meaning to the companies boastful declarations that “Its digestible” and “Crisco has been making life in the kitchen more delicious for years.”  Similarly, in the 1978 sex manual The Advocate Guide to Gay Health, Crisco even earned an entry in the book’s index.  Discussions of the shortening’s use as an anal lubricant indicate its popularity, with statements such as: “The lubricant, typically the cultic Crisco, must be copious.”[5]  In fact, Crisco was so synonomus with gay sex that discos and bars around the world took on the name, such as Crisco Disco in New York City, which was one of the premiere clubs during the 1970s and early 1980s.  Other clubs or bathhouses, such as Club Z in Seattle, even featured murals with Crisco.  Thus, Crisco was conversely also one of many things that led to the formation of gay identities during the 20th century.

The more you know! :D

[nianeyna]

I have learned a new thing today.

[soupwife]

Love this post for so many reasons but most especially because this is from all the way back in 2012 and and yet not a single blog in this thread is deactivated

[nianeyna]

I enjoy that not only does this have a link to an actual source, but the link still fucking works.

[dancinbutterfly]

but @rhea314 you didnt include a picture of the crisco disco! AND MY GOD THE DJ BOOTH WAS A GIANT CRISCO CAN!

Go dance and get fisted. Fucking iconic.

[mr-elementle]

Love the gay history, but i just wanna correct that the “it’s digestible” in the gay stuff was a reference to crisco’s tagline it had been using since 1911, the actual meaning of its digestible is because it’s main competition came from “enhanced” lards which were rendered pig fat mixed with non food thickeners that literally did not digest and caused people to basically just shit out pig cream, since crisco was veggie based the body digested it along with the food

And in case you were still wondering, @mudwerks.. Tuna Croquettes

[elf7knight]

This post is the opposite of net zero information. Not only did I learn several new facts about gay history but also we rounded our way back to the original question of the tag line and the mini obelisks.

It’s a net profit of information. 12/10 post

[redrosesshadowwolf]

Someone finally answered the question!

Thank God. I really wanted to know what the Fried Cone Obelisks were.

[the-haiku-bot]

Thank God. I really

wanted to know what the Fried

Cone Obelisks were.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[gingerblivet]

I can’t even begin to figure out how to find it, but I vividly remember a blogged account of an American in Greece who needed Crisco for a recipe and could only find it at sex toy store

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

As a Taylor Swift expert, Gaylor hater, and recovering 1989er, you probably don't want to know that apparently in the notes of the re-recording Taylor Swift talks about how she wasn't dating any of her female friends, and the Gaylors are having meltdowns on twitter. Words like "gaslit" and "queerbaiting" are being used.

of COURSE I want to know about that, I need to go log back into my twitter account RIGHT NOW

also goddddd as a certified 1989 enjoyer I'm gonna have to listen to Taylor's Version :/

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

oh damn the girlies are NOT taking this well

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

sorry I'm so sorry this is the funniest thing that has EVER happened

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

our homegrown tumblr gaylors are also going through it btw

[vaspider]

Holy fuck.

[rosslynpaladin]

People literally getting ANGRY AT HER for daring to mention she's STRAIGHT. It's personally offending her marginalized fans for her to not go along with their desperation for HER to be Queer.

... Me, I'm a P!nk fan, I have no idea what this is about. Delighted not to be Le Involved here.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

You left the best part in the tags!

[gpedia]

Wow what a coincidence @booksandfiltercoffee was just telling me about gaylor panic in the streets of social media.

[booksandfiltercoffee-deactivate]

That was brought upon by this post

[wizardshark]

I especially love that Tumblr screenshot saying "if what you're implying is the truth, just SAY IT" because she has! She's stated over and over again "I am not gay, I am straight, I am heterosexual" and they REFUSED to believe her and blamed it on compulsory heterosexuality, or her being too scared to come out. She LITERALLY did just say it!

This would fix what's wrong with me.

[tearlessrain]

making friends via fandom is inherently hilarious because in many ways it's like a regular friendship and sometimes you'll share stuff that's going on in your lives and offer support and talk about food or pets or random cultural stuff because you live on opposite sides of the damn planet, but also some of your interactions are like "hello beloved friend whom I cherish deeply, I have brought you a deceptively platonic gift of lovingly crafted star wars porn"

“That’s why high school, or a crappy job, or any other restrictive circumstance can be dangerous: They make dreams too painful to bear. To avoid longing, we hunker down, wait, and resolve to just survive. Great art becomes a reminder of the art you want to be making, and of the gigantic world outside of your small, seemingly inescapable one. We hide from great things because they inspire us, and in this state, inspiration hurts.”

Okay, this is pretty incredible. A 3D artist, consulting scholars and archaeologists, worked for a year and a half in Blender to create a reconstruction of pre-Columbian Tenochtitlán, complete with the surrounding landscape. It’s staggeringly beautiful, and—at least to me—gives a wonderful impression of the city as a place where people worked and lived and worshiped

[gallusrostromegalus]

HOLY SHIT CLICK THROUGH THIS IS INCREDIBLE
