Robin’s permutatory tumblings

I use Tumblr for funny things (other people’s posts) and unfunny things (whatever I wrote). Find me elsewhere: veryrobin.me

I like this article because it’s not what you think it is.

do you think two pennies is still enough for the ferryman or has inflation driven up the fare

if he makes me use an app I am simply not crossing the river Styx.

It's really funny how art can be so important and enriching and sometimes downright life-changing but every single piece of art about how important and life-changing art is is the lamest shit ever.

I'm not gonna lie the secret to success for a great many people is absolutely stimulant abuse

Side one: sometimes life gets away from me. Even my kitchen, which is my proud place, where I cook and bake, a place I really cherish, sometimes gets messy. It’s easy to clean the surfaces, but the back of the fridge? Or that shelf that is a bit too tall so you can’t see every item on it? Those foods stay and expire. And I feel so guilty about it every time I throw away food. Even if it expired 😬 three years ago. The guilt is staggering and I need to take my time or it just hurts too bad.

Side two: the recycling in my hometown is excellent. We split paper and board, plastics, glass and metal, and recycling for credit (pant, which is usually a kroner or two on cans and plastic bottles). Food and garden waste are also recycled, the typical compost waste. The rest is, well, rest. However, we don’t actually compost the food. Here it gets sent to a biogas facility, where it breaks down into alternative fuel. It’s mostly used by vans and buses, seemingly mostly on stretches on the edge of the city where electric buses would have less time to charge.

Where sides 1 and 2 meet: when I throw away my shameful food trash, my expired gochujang or my forgotten home pickles or my nearly-empty jar of a sauce so good I wanted to remember it before throwing it out and thus forgetting it in the back of the fridge, the half sack of spelt flour that I didn’t use because I got depressed, I think a loud cheerful thought:

The buses will be eating good tonight!

Scooby-Doo is a dog who can talk, which is amazing, and he largely uses his powers of speech to communicate how scared he is of ghosts and monsters, and basically the only thing his owners do is drive him around the country putting him inside various haunted houses and such. I wish I could take Scooby-Doo aside, I want to say to him, these people are not your friends.

But when I say the “wholesome and funny” YouTube short I have been handed of students surprise showing their teachers 10+ year old photos of themselves and most them were emo/goth in some way and every single one now has medium brown beach waves and is wearing head to toe beige and immediately screams and hides the photo like it’s the most embarrassing thing in the world is a hallmark of a deeply insidious tendency to associate socially acceptable WASPy aesthetics with maturity and responsibility and perpetuates the idea that everyone grows up, “gets right” and becomes the most digestible unobtrusive heterosexual I’m “taking it too seriously”

its terrible for any number of reasons, but i think if we invent immortality there should be an extreme sport called civilizational speedrunning where teams of 20 go into the wilderness somewhere and try and be the fastest build the first internal combustion engine. i bet you could get it down to like 3 years tops

[biggestzam]

The real trick is to eat seed heavy food before the speedrun starts so your first poops are halfway to agriculture already

[kaiasky]

i want you on my team holy shit

Absolutely cackling over the banjo subreddit

ⓘ Tip: while sewing, you can unlock scary sewing by losing your needle somewhere on your bed.
