I JUST LEARNED THAT GAY MEN ARE CALLED MEETHA IN HINDI AND GAY GIRLS ARE CALLED KHATTI AND I JUST THINK THATS REALLY BEAUTIFUL OKAY?!

Like I think it's meant to be an insult but I'm claiming it

IM KHATTI AND YOU CAN SUCK ON THAT UNTIL YOUR FACE SCRUNCHES UP FROM THE SOUR

[a-really-hot-caterpillar]

So if a person is bi and genderfluid they'll be "khatta-meetha"?

[rambheemisgoated]

We should be making use of all the six flavours known to man

Katu/kadva (bitter)

Tikt/teekha (spicy)

Kashay/kasaila (dunno what it's called in english, but the taste of ginger can be described as it)

Lavan/Namkeen (Salty) (Taken by non binary people)

Amla/Khatta (Sour) (taken by wlw)

Madhu/meetha (sweet) (taken by mlm/blb)

Ab baaki hisaab laga lo

[chaoticnessoverload-deactivated]

Theekha for mutli partnered and mspecs?

Kasaila for the aro’s and ace’s?

[weaselingron]

Let's reverse that. Because I see aro and ace people called boring sometimes, calling them theekha would remind people they're still interesting and spicy and fun and complex

And kasaila for multi partnered/m-spec! Because I kinda worry calling *them* theekha would lead to sexualising jokes that they dont need more of

(Note: there are suggestions, I am neither asexual nor necessarily m-spec)

[maraudersbitchesassemble]

Amazing!!!! Mein khatti-meethi hoon!!!!

That's such a cool way to say you are bi/genderfluid

[mrobius-strip]

That's brilliant but what about agender people like myself? Are we teekhe too?

[maraudersbitchesassemble]

Yesssss you are teekhe too!

[mrobius-strip]

YAYY! I'm double teekha with a side of khattapan and a dash a meetha, lmao

[weaselingron]

Something about making culinary ratios out of the the desi equivalents of the word "fruity" is very indian. I'm here for it.

It occurs to me that there are people who weren’t on this website in 2012 and therefore never saw the magical gif that you can actually hear:

It’s been over five years and that still impresses the hell out of me.

[galwaygremlin]

wdym you can hear it?

[superpaperclip]

Basically, it’s a form of synesthesia, movement-hearing. In this case, you expect to hear a thud, so you do. It’s estimated that 20% of people experience this type of synesthesia, as opposed to 2-4% for other kinds.

[eat-the-door-to-the-v0id-deacti]

YO what the FUXK

[burntcopper]

The longer you watch it the more you get convinced that you can hear a  distant thud and the air displace.

[lasrina]

I heard the thud. I closed my eyes and the thud stopped. I opened my eyes and I heard the thud. My goodness but human brains are a mess.

This was easily the first ever viral post on Tumblr back in 2011/12. Perhaps even before the great “what your leg feels like after falling asleep” followed by a picture of a static teevee channel.

HOW TO TURN OFF GOOGLE AI in GMAIL:

Open Gmail in your browser

Click on the Gear Icon ⚙️ in the upper right

In the General Tab, scroll down to "Smart Features" and UNCHECK THE BOX. It is about halfway down.

Then, right below that is Google Workspace smart features. Click on the "Manage Workspace Smart Features" and make sure both toggles are OFF

[weaselingron]

Falsely, yeah:)

if it sucks hit da bricks <- litany against sunk cost

take it easy but take it <- litany against burnout/apathy cycle

fuck it we ball <- litany against perfectionism

now say something beautiful and true <- litany against irony poisoning

some others i found in the notes

[ninjakittycomics]

When you find yourself in a loop, ask yourself which one of these applies?

(also i love all the fun translations Tumblr has made)

When you find yourself

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I want to learn more exclamations that aren’t strictly just religious stuff. “Jesus Christ” this, “oh my god” that, nah I want something fresh.

What are some of y’all’s favorite exclamations that aren’t about god?

[roben-like-me]

What the fuck is a kudos ratio??? Kudos are for the authors to know you enjoyed their work not for people to automatically discredit a fic because the “hits to kudos” ratio is “off”?????

The commercialisation of fics is truly destroying fandom culture

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

REBLOG IF IT YOUR ACCOUNT IS A SAFE SPACE FOR SWAPPINATORS🏳️‍⚧️

[onionsparenthesischilled]

Ah, Perry the platypus. I see you're wearing a deboobinator (binder), I didn't know you were a swappinator.

[pomrania]

Something I've gathered, is that almost everyone seems to think they only have a "necessary" number of shoes; however, everyone has a DRASTICALLY different idea of what that is.

For purposes of this post, I'm defining "shoe" as "footwear you'd wear outside the house", and "actually used" as "something you've worn within the past month, and/or that you expect to wear again within a year".

Reblog with how many pairs of shoes you have that are actually used, and what they are.

For me, it's a pair of steel-toed shoes that are what I normally wear when I have to wear shoes; sandals; running shoes; and winter boots. So, four pairs. (Plus there's the old worn-out stuff that I just keep in the closet because I'm allergic to throwing things away if it's still vaguely functional, but that's why I specified "actually used".)

[weaselingron]

Like 8?

Every sneakers, two pairs

Winter boots that look nice

Everyday slip on bellies that are also nice enough for casual outings, in white, brown and black

Gold wedge heel for fancy outings

Silver wedge heels for fancy outings

It's okay to want people to engage with your art. People act like it's shameful to want engagement, but it really isn't. We are social creatures who crave connection. It makes sense that we would want that with the things we create as well.

Our world is no longer built for community. We are isolated and lonely and tired. Make art anyway. Find a community. Engage and be engaged with. Find your people.
