I lived and worked in a lighthouse at a previous job.  There was a thick line painted in a circle around the shack where the fog signal was kept.  The line represented how close you could get to the fog signal without experiencing physical harm in the form of eardrums shattering or worse.

Even in the house it was LOUD.  Probably the loudest thing I have ever experienced but at a normal, predictable interval.  You would begin to time your sentences with little pauses with the rest of the lighthouse crew so you would talk like this while making your………..HORN…………. tea and then carry on talking because you knew when it would go off.  It rattled the walls and the dishes in our cabinet.

At least one girl had died there. They kept photos of her everywhere “in honor of her sacrifice” because she had decided to take the winter watch alone and died in a storm where bounders the size of mini vans had been lifted out of the ocean and left scattered across the island, to say nothing of the ice chunks.  People weren’t allowed to be alone on the watch after that.

One day a dead moose washed up on shore and it took my entire crew all day but we managed to rig up a line to hang it up to dry because we thought having a moose skeleton in the house would really spice the living room up a bit.  It did.  Weird shit happens when six of you are left alone, like ALONE ALONE, no cell reception, no wifi, just a radio to contact the real world and not a lot of reason to do that.  People don’t go on lighthouse jobs if they want to stay connected, I’ve found.

That said Id do it all again, I really do treasure those days

you know you could’ve just said “no they don’t have wifi” and that would’ve answered the question

[stupidbeecandle]

But then you wouldnt have known about the moose

all of us vaccinated people communicate directly to each other via brain chip technology and we all talk about how sexy we are

[shorthistorian]

You wouldn't believe the memes in the brain chip groupchat

“pulling stunts that strengthen the public’s perception of gay people as satanic perverts“ yeah lil nas x is definitely the first and only gay artist to use christian imagery ironically and if we direct all of our stupid outrage at him we can salvage the good image of the homosexual community in the eyes of the church once and for all. good take  

[cipheramnesia]

The reactions to Lil Nas X are really telling about how many people only accept queerness as long as it’s white, and cis, and chaste, and obedient.

[daarcy]

sometimes book less about you reading it and more about it being your companion

[daarcy]

“i should bring a book” i say not because i plan on reading it at any point but because i need to have someone on my side in the grocery store soup aisle

I love blaspheming on line. And being a heretic
