A tumblr by another name would not be as awesome

Our age of strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is collapsing

idk who needs to hear this but it’s healthier for you to just accept that you’re gonna be kinda fat than it is to live the rest of your life miserably trying to monitor yourself to maintain a skinny weight your body doesn’t want to hold onto

project hail mary is insane bc the first half is like oh my god the world is dying and there's alien bacteria eating the sun and there's some guy alone on a ship and he's having a breakdown and the flashbacks are getting darker and this is a tragedy the likes of which i have never seen. then BAM andy weir says fuck you actually. here's this pokemon guy he's here to save the day with the power of friendship. and it's the best thing you've ever seen in your life

probably the worst attitude tumblr unintentionally cultivates is "the world out there is completely dangerous for you and no one can possibly understand you, so you should isolate yourself from it and avoid interacting with it as much as possible"

[windsweptinred]

Time to roll out the Andrew Marr quote again...

"If you put away social media and you walk out into the streets and you look at real people, three-dimensional people, they mostly smile back at you. If you look around you- you see perfectly decent, ordinary people getting on with their lives and inclined, by and large, to rather like each other, that is the real us. Let us not be fooled."

there’s just always something fucking happening

The reason your snacks are unsatisfying is that you need both carb and protein.

Carb starts your engine, protein keeps it going.

No carb, engine don’t start. No protein, engine dies out fast.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Easy carb add on:

Cookie

Fruit (canned or fresh)

Chips

Piece of bread

Popcorn

Crackers

Easy protein add on:

Nuts

Spoonful of nut butter

Cheese

Roasted chickpea snacks

Glass of milk (dairy or non dairy)

Small canned sausages or similar

[what-even-is-thiss]

Sugar in there.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I am pleased by people messaging me telling me that after adding a carb or protein to their snacks or meals they feel more satisfied all day. Yes, my plan is working. People are getting through their days with less hangry.

Your cats are not "manipulating" you they are communicating with you. They do not understand why you're limiting their food supply or keeping them indoors or preventing them from ruining your furniture or whatever.

When they meyowl pathetically for more food, it's not because they're trying to "trick" you into feeding them again. They just want to be fed, and they're smart enough to notice the correlation between certain sounds they make and the responses they get from you.

They've figured out that if they want to communicate to you that they want more food, if they make those pathetic sounds, you're more likely to behave as if you've understood what they're trying to communicate.

When your cat waits for you to look away then yoinks food off of your plate, it's not because they love crime. It's because they're social colony creatures who instinctively share food with each other and they don't understand why you're not sharing the best foods with them.

Your cats are very intelligent, social creatures who see you as their Very Strange sibling.

They've learned how to make intricate sounds just to communicate with their humans. When the sounds they make elicit the responses they want, they learn that those sounds are the most effective way to communicate their desires.

Not because they're scheming about how to control you, but because they don't know how to communicate with you any other way.

So I know tumblr (rightfully) loves Katmai Fat Bear Week - so if you want More of the same thing, may I introduce Fat Marmot Week?

Colorado’s first-ever ‘Fat Marmot Week’ aims to raise awareness for the charismatic, whistling mammals 

A population of Colorado marmots are gaining notoriety as the subject of a new OnlyFans page and weight gain competition to raise awareness

They're introducing the contenders (such as Dans_hat above) in posts on Instagram, but they also have a website-

FAT MARMOT WEEK

About Fat Marmot Week The largest of the true hibernators, marmots bulk up all summer to survive the winter. Fat Marmot Week is an opportuni

These folks also *deeply* need funding - they've opened an OnlyFans for the marmots (OnlyMarms, as they call it) and also accept donations. That's also linked on the Fat Marmot Week page!

Anyways. I love marmots, I love wildlife biologists, and these folks are hilarious. Go have fun with Fat Marmot Week!

@katmaibearfan - I hope you don't mind the ping, but would you mind spreading this around some? Thank you so much!

opened up ravelry to look at patterns and the very first thing i saw was

The Garment by Robert Cole

I had to immediately look for myself and I feel like this post needs the addition of the very first line in the pattern description

[thegenderdruid]

walking down the street and saw someone walking the other direction with a pig in a harness and leash and I stupidly asked, "is that a pig?" and he replied, "I sure hope it is, it was a pig when I left the house"

To put it very bluntly.

You will always make a better impact helping people who need it than trying to hurt people you think deserve it.
