Sometimes I wonder what you guys look like. How you sound and what you enjoy. The little glimpses I get when we like the same things are enough though

Friendly dog-sized bombus terrestris. What a fluffy buddy

sorry I saw a post about AAVE and got fired up and had to make this

[codes-and-stuffs]

i do think we should normalise being like. platonically enamoured with someone. perhaps i love and admire you dearly and there's nothing romantic about it

[jame7t]

tumblr is like an abandoned space station & you all are the thing in the vents

[jame7t]

[dark-miku]

[afro-elf]

just saw pictures from mike flanagan carrie

[afro-elf]

okay serious fucking question, must he de-fang every female character he touches?

[afro-elf]

mike, it's actually more interesting for audiences that margaret is an abusive religious fundie (and also a victim of marital rape) who tries to literally beat the idea of sin into her daughter, it is actually TIMELY to adapt that correctly at this particular american moment. WHY is he so scared of every piece of source material that has ever been handed to him? i MUST know

[afro-elf]

you're laughing, mike flanagan wants to do gilmore girls with telekinetic rage and you're laughing

Bosses and Coworkers: you've got a great work ethic, going above and beyond

Me: I am literally just doing my job. Everyone else is slacking off.

Everyone Else: (magically knows somehow the secret amounts of work the boss is actually asking of them, which the boss cannot tell anyone for Reasons)

[bamfspock]

There always seems to be a gap in instructions (from bosses, parents, teachers, friends, whoever) between 'required' and 'expected', and this gap is:

invisible

never explained

always a different size

you have to guess the size

if you guess wrong you either get Praised or In Trouble

[bamfspock]

At least on 'the price is right' you know (because someone *actually told you*) that you are playing a guessing game and that there is an over/under mechanic and that the conquence of guessing wrong isn't a punishment or damaged relationship or getting fired

[bamfspock]

On an unrelated note my psychiatrist has given me a referal for a formal ASD evaluation

[bamfspock]

This post is about the neurodivergent frustration of having to deal with neurotypical authority figures who don't say what they mean but I love the pro-union labor-rights energy I'm seeing in the notes

American diet and "healthy living" culture is insane and runs DEEP

[jennamoran]

who the heck is eating dice, cards, and pool

[aniseandspearmint]

WHAT is the first one supposed to be? It looks like 'piecing between meals' to me, but that can't be what it says, right?

[prfury-lavaca]

It does in fact say “piecing between meals” and it refers to snacking

[prokopetz]

I'm more struck by the fact that the progression set forth here implies that laudanum and cocaine are less concerning that spicing your food.

Sometimes when a post is extra good I blow it a kiss

yet another cosmic unfairness: a manatee is some kind of big fat dumpling beast of the sea that wants you to pet it so bad we had to make laws against doing just that for their safety

jail time and a desire to see them thrive are the only things staying my tender heart and gentle hand
