Procrastinating

For religious reasons, I'll not tolerate TERFs.

You know, as a kid I read a timeloop story about Santa's murder and I'd pay actual money to get to read it again

[very-stressed]

Sometimes I remember that time my school leader called my mum to complain she was keeping me home a 2nd day just because i had begun coughing the day after we had gotten back from our class trip to Spain and was having conversations with my dead stepmum levels of fever and couldn't sit and breathe at the same time

that same evening we had an emergency broadcast telling us there were confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Spain, suddenly it was fine if I stayed home a couple more days

Another Atlantis thing that I love that they seem to have kind of stopped doing after season 1 is getting to see the characters in their everyday clothes. Like that's they're home, they're obviously not going to be in uniform 24/7 and I love getting to see some personality come through in the choice of clothes that they brought along.

this website lets you listen to the sounds of all different forests around the world 

[riven-wanders]

Reblogging again cause I tried this site last night and if you need background noise to focus this is perfect for that, I was locked the fuck in on a task. And it’s also just gorgeous to listen to

Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.

[ihonestlydontknowwhattocallthis]

InsNe that dishwashers are more efficient and easier than just washing them manually but they also use less water. It’s a win win situation

[systlin]

They ALSO sterilize dishes, due to operating at a far higher temperature than human hands could ever tolerate. It's a win every way.

pretty sure i just lost my editing gig to ai. hate and fucking war on planet earth.

[slowspinningredemption]

like they've already made it very clear by a) ghosting me for months and b) getting my colleagues to train their stupid new ai. like i only know about this because one of my colleagues tipped me off. i imagine they're waiting to get it working before they formally let me go and fuck that. i am literally drafting my resignation lmao

[slowspinningredemption]

[slowspinningredemption]

guys. there has been an update. my spy colleague has informed me that my ex-boss is backtracking. the ai was supposed to speed things up because apparently i was unavailable too often but it turns out that another colleague has been lying about me telling him i was unavailable. i have email receipts proving this never happened.

this colleague also has beef with me because his documents were always garbage and i came back with a million corrections and called him out for mass copy-pasting. so he was just skipping the editing and saying i said i couldn't do it. and i lost my job because of it.

[slowspinningredemption]

ex-boss backtracked and ended up asking me if i'd come back not as a freelance contractor but on an actual employment basis.

[slowspinningredemption]

i declined.

[slowspinningredemption]

shoutout to all the people reblogging the version of this before my rejection letter. and especially shoutout to those people saying they're happy for me and that there's justice on this earth. i regret to inform you that my version of justice means choosing violence.

[dovewithscales]

This is a thing of beauty

Oh, yeah, I wonder how that map's progressed si--wait MISHA COLLINS?

[sunspotpony]

Tags passing peer review, gonna share.

Anyway, homie is, like all wealthy white dudes, egregiously imperfect, but he’s definitely fucking trying. So in that regard, he’s valuable because he’s reaching audiences that you personally probably wouldn’t be able to reach, and if you find he has specific stuff on topics you need to persuade people on, he’s a valuable avenue.

"all vampires come to resent their maker" actualy just a statistical error. vampire lestat, who has made 10,000 fledglings, all of whom resent him, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

[botticelli-angels-minion]

God I know this is a joke (and it’s funny as Hell), but I think ALL the time about how Armand’s deeply held belief that all vampires resent their maker is informed by A) being in a satanic cult and B) just Observing Lestat. The plot of the Vampire Chronicles is basically Lestat makes a fledgeling, they have a messy falling out, and this becomes Armand’s problem. Of course he thinks things won’t work out with Daniel!!

I can also imagine a camper at camp half blood is the onky one who dosent have a learning disability.

Like they can read, write, dont get distracted easy and arnt hyper active and cause of that they are like a spectacle at camp.

*new camper arrives at camp*

"This is percy, this is annabeth, this is clarisse dont look her in the eye and this is jesus"

"Are they actually jesus"

"No, but they may as well be with the miracle they got that the rest of didnt"

"What miracle"

"They can read and write"

I can't imagine human rocky as rocktiz bc in the film he gave off such a strong energy of a restless teenager that it became ridiculous. i imagined him as our equivalent of like mid 20s? for me, his clubbing era hasn't ended yet. and adrian is his school's love.

idc if ts not accurate

[hedgehogofvictory]

ALSO grace's syntax is significantly changed by the end of the book because of his shared grammar with Rocky. Its GOTTA be mutual, right? how weird do you think Rocky sounds to other Eridians when he talks to Grace?

Adrian meets Grace for the first time, and is fully prepared for the alien to talk weird, of course it will its a weird leaky space blob with only two arms, but they are NOT prepared for their mate's grammar to completely fall apart. Adrian can't even properly greet Grace because they're too busy laughing at Rocky for talking like that

[hailmarysuggest]

I just think that Rocky is the most feral possessive bitch to ever exist when it comes to Grace. Sorry, if you don’t fix my space horse I’m NOT giving you any of the bacteria we almost died to get- oh hello mate Adrian, yes yes, Rocky DOES think this is perfectly rational, why do you ask? No, Rocky ran out of his Eridian Lexapro like four years ago this is now a hostage negotiation-

today I found out my mother doesn’t know what dandelions are and now I’m wondering what other strange secrets she’s been quietly harboring

[krystal-prisms]

Where do you live that you don’t have dandelions?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

we have dandelions EVERYWHERE, they are basically our State Weed, it is absolutely impossible that my mom has never interacted with a dandelion before, this requires further investigation

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

So after extensive interrogation I have an update:

my mom is in fact aware that dandelions exist. she temporarily forgot the name and there was some miscommunication.

the truth is actually weirder

she’s aware dandelions look like this

she is familiar with this flower. she knows the name of this flower. she declines to believe, however, that these are also dandelions

she does not believe these are the same plant. I tried to explain, and she thought I was either misinformed or lying. so I asked her what exactly did she think the yellow ones were called?

she answered, with complete confidence: Daffodils.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

gosh I enjoy this website

[authoratmidnight]

For comparison, this is a daffodil

[quietlygrousing]

See, folks in the southern US will tell you up and down those are buttercups, actually.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

i don’t think so? i’m southern and buttercups are what we call these things (much tinier)

[maejacrezz007]

Wait I thought those bigger cup ones were Easter Lillies???

[fractiousrvt]

This is an Easter Lily. It is an actual lily and therefore deadly to cats.

[blood-trip-god2]

They’re marigolds and I know a bitch when I see one!

[delphinidin4]

This is a marigold:

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

….we need to start taking the phrase “go touch grass” more literally. go outside and examine a flower i beg u

[very-stressed]

The big yellow bell ones actually are called easter lilies in Danish and I never considered that they could have a different name in English

scientists in the 1990s, putting a Get More Purple gene attached to a harmless plant virus into an already purple petunia: please get more purple

the petunia, sensing an apparent honest to god Get More Purple Disease, using the previously undiscovered RNAi antiviral ability to shut down all other purple genes along with it just in case: you put VIRUS in petunia? you infect her with the More Purple?? oh! oh! her children shall bloom white! jail for mother, jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!
