I was talking to my mom about John Green today and I mentioned that “he’s still on tumblr” and she asked why that would be weird and I said that no one is on tumblr these days, “except him and I guess me”
So
I don’t know what all of you guys are doing here, because clearly this website is occupied only by me and John Green
just the two of us / we can make it if we try.
Favorite adderall review
You have to watch the dosage.
You have to watch the dosage.
Pharm/Tox adage - " the dose makes the poison "
Adderall user nydouble - "hold my beer, this dose makes me queer"
Got into a discussion about emergency response at a professional retreat recently and everyone was going on and on about agility, and I was like, "Okay but what about contingency?"
And they were like "What?"
And I was like, "Agility isn't the ultimate form of preparedness. Contingency is. Agility still requires you to flounder and figure out a solution in the moment, but if you have a contingency plan, all you have to do is implement it."
And they were like "But you can't make contingency plans for every situation!"
And I was like, "Yeah, you basically can if you just identify all of your basic dependencies and contingency plan around the loss of any dependency," and then I gave a few examples.
And they all stared at me like I'm an alien.
Anyway, that's how I figured out I'm Batman-coded and also learned how Batman must feel talking to supposedly professional superheroes who never bothered to run disaster scenarios until I pointed out that it's insane that they don't already have a plan for if Superman turns evil.
There’s a phrase that really stuck in my head around this. It was from one of the British divers who enacted the Thai caving rescue, though I couldn’t tell you which one or which interview.
As he described to the interviewer a moment of panic and how he he overcame, the interviewer said, in one of those, summarise-last-answer-given-with-appropriate-levels-of-respect-in-order-to-proceed-to-next-question phrasing’s, “Wow, so you rose to the occasion -“
And the diver said, “No, actually people always get that exactly wrong. In an unexpected and urgent situation you don’t rise to the occasion. You sink to the level of your training.”
This is also why many of us wind up "wait, how did I get back here" when we said never again.
Because we sink to the level of our training - and we survived by fawning, by freezing. But goddamnit - we survived.
So, when you end up back there it isn't because you didn't learn from it before, it isn't because you failed . . . it is because you survived and you are surviving again.
Give yourself some grace, and practice surviving in new ways, even if only in your head.
And hey - So glad you made it.
anishinaabe house (container), c.1885-1910, birchbark, porcupine quill and dye
Quick reminder: you can find contemporary artists using these media (sometimes in new ways) across the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe, across turtle island.
North American indigenous art is not ancient lost art, it is the art & history & record keeping of cultures and belief systems that were viciously suppressed by colonial powers. But the artists and elders are still here. Living.

anishinaabe house (container), c.1885-1910, birchbark, porcupine quill and dye
You know that meme that’s like “A job will have you, a 21 year old, with a 55 year old bestie” Well, AU where Ilya gets hired at the Treasury Board and quickly becomes besties with David Hollander. They’re really good at their jobs so they finish most of their work by 10:30 am and spend the rest of the day fucking around and pretending to be busy together. They get lunch together and talk shit about their boss. David tells Ilya that he’s throwing a birthday party and asks Ilya to come. “You can meet my son and talk hockey! I think you’ll like him!” Ilya decides to go and the party is in full swing when he arrives. David takes him around, introducing him to people until they make it to David’s son. David introduces him to Shane and Ilya is taken by how beautiful Shane is. He’s admiring Shane’s freckles when it dawns on him that he’s staring at THE Shane Hollander, best hockey player in the league. David told him that his son plays hockey but he never put it together that David’s Shane was THE Shane. Ilya and Shane end up in the far corner of the living room, talking all night as the party goes on around them. Years later at their wedding, during his speech, David admits to throwing the birthday party to hook Ilya and Shane up.
I love George but this is so slapstick comedy 😭😭😭😭😭😭
THE FIA NOTED HIM FOR THIS IF HE GETS FUCKING PENALISED FOR THROWING HIS HEADREST THAT FAR SJSJJDSLKDHDOE
I trust that you "SJSJJDSLKDHDOE" ed appropriately. The quality of his tantrum was enhanced by his insistence on standing forlornly by the fence.
“If I were a livelier specimen I would go out and find a Great Dragon to slay, and win a really desirable princess; I believe that’s the way to do it. But there haven’t been any Great Dragons since Maur, I think, and Aerin, who was certainly a highly desirable princess, didn’t need any help, and the truth is I’m very glad that all happened a long time ago and very far away.”
- Ossin, discussing matrimonial possibilities in Deerskin
“She was not even a princess, finally, but a mere countess, of some obscure little backwater country which, so far as it was known for anything, was known for the fleethounds its king and queen bred, but she was quiet, dutiful, and, so far as any of the cleverest magicians in the land could tell, entirely without magic.” - on Rosie’s mother in Spindle’s End
“Farmers in that country worried more about falling asleep during the birthing times of their stock than they worried about the weather; the destruction a litter of baby taralians caused remained, even after it had reverted to piglets.” - worldbuilding in Spindle’s End
“The beautiful green country was at that time badly overrun by ladons and wyverns, taralians and norindours, which ate almost everything (including each other) but liked pegasi best.” - worldbuilding in Pegasus
Conclusion: Pegasus, Spindle’s End, and Deerskin are all set in the same general world as Damar, somewhere along the timeline. Rosie and Ossin may be distantly related, because Ossin’s country tends to recycle its noble blood, and Lissar’s children and Peony’s children may end up meeting. I’m not going to go into the short stories, because those are obscure and doing so will brand me even more horrifically as an obsessive McKinley nerd, and also because they are mostly held together by Luthe, who makes me want to punch him a lot of the time.
Bonus:
“There are even a few dragons left up north, you know. I saw one once, when I was a boy, but they don’t come that far south very often.” - Ger, on living in the north in Beauty
HOW’S THAT HOUSE THAT RAISED YOU? - Lev St. Valentine
fucked that you can’t fix other people especially when you really care about them. Oh so im just supposed to be there for you while you suffer. like a useless cunt gargoyle
This was such a Veronic Mars - Noir in the land of the surfer dude - statement - but could not decide which of these two was the useless gargoyle?
how measurements work in canada (ie/ badly)
Important information on care and feeding of Canadians. The grocery store is hilarious, the price per lb is big, price per kg smaller, labels in kg and g.
reblog if ur mom is smart and beautiful
This is one of my favorite sites on here because everyone who reblogged it truly believes it because their moms won’t actually see it
Definitely. I might not always understand my mom’s point of view, we might quarell sometimes, but she is amazing and I love her 🩷🥹.
lmm should have made john adams the musical instead
actually, scratch that, it would have been ~boring~ and not terribly exciting
Happens to me with shocking frequency (insert two nickels bit) but I had a moment wondering which LM Montgomery heroine had mused about writing an American political play before arriving at Lin Manuel Miranda.
My thought: Susan in Rilla of Ingleside, BTW, a scathing comedy about Woodrow Wilson using up all the ink in America before joining the war.
i am massively overdue for a very very good week where not a single bad thing happens and everything is easy
reblog to give prev a very good week where not a single bad thing happens and everything is easy
sent this message to my coworker today and he sent me this screenshot with microsoft teams's suggested replies... incredible 10/10 no notes.
The kids sometimes answer check in texts with the suggested replies - the consistent use of capitalisation and punctuation tips me off every time.
