I know adverbs are Controversial, but “said softly” means something different than “whispered” and this is the hill I will die on.

Iceland is fucking bizarre my name change made the news

[hjartasalt]

Like just @ me at this point I'm literally the only person in iceland (and very possibly the world) who has the first name Lauf

(Article title reads "Lauf and Birningur in group of new names in the name register")

[hjartasalt]

No one lives here so now two of our biggest news outlets are vagueing about me lmao

[hjartasalt]

Hmm you're right. Correction: two of our biggest media outlets are talking about me specifically because they are obsessed with me

[hjartasalt]

This morning I showed up to work and my boss was like "congratulations :))" and I was kinda confused so asked her on what and she said "your name, I heard about it on the radio"

So far I have counted two online articles and apparently the radio is also talking about my name change so I'll keep you guys updated when I'm on national tv or something

With a little legwork we can make more people on Tumblr see this than the entire population of Iceland.

executive dysfunction be like *wants to do something* *doesnt do it* *feels bad* *wants to do something* *doesnt do it* *feels bad* *wants to do something* *doesnt do it* *feels ba

I recently learnt that executive dysfunction can be broken down into two main categories: anxiety that your attempt won't be satisfactory, or confusion about where to start or how to break it down into steps. As much as we feel bad about it, it's extremely important to remember that it is NOT laziness and we in fact shouldn't feel bad.

hey reblog this instead

[milk5]

let me put this in terms you can fucking understand. our toddler, Falco Mewtwo Martinez, “wavedashed” straight into a “stage hazard” because you weren’t fucking watching him.

I think it's very sexy when a fictional character knows they're doomed but makes the conscious choice to keep trying anyway

[green-cargaytions]

I never want to hear another cis person talk shit about trans healthcare ever fucking again.

How many letters from a psychiatrist did this man need?

How many years did he have to live as his desired height (on stilts) before he would even have been considered?

What was his mandatory wait time on top of that to make sure he "really wanted it"? How many asked him if it was reversable just in case he changed in his mind?

How many right-wing weirdos are threatening to fire bomb the hospital that it was rumored on mumsnet maybe did a procedure like that one time?

How many people have centered their personality (Height Criticals) around hating him and organize online mobs to bully and harass him?

I don't like when people refer to wings as "bone-in" it just feels awkward

We need a better way to describe wings on the bone. I'm thinking we call them "boned"

[couchnapping]

do we call chicken legs "bone-in"/"boned"? ribs?

they don't need a qualifier. Let the weak choke on the bones they for some reason needed specified

[woketopus]

It's like Mitch Hedberg said about corn on the cob. Why do we call it that, that's its natural state. That's like if you cut off my arm and called it Mitch, but then you sew it back on and call me Mitch Altogether

someone in the notes on that “stop fetishizing old houses” post commented that builders before the 1970s were too concerned with elegance and grandeur, and that was all really just wastefulness

and I think about my apartment, a duplex from 1912, surely built for a middle- or working-class family. spartan, really; quite basic and no-frills. not much to look at from the outside. just like a thousand buildings of similar provenance in the Boston area.

there are flowers molded in the chunky, cast-iron radiators

there’s a design of concentric circles in the carved door-lintels

many buildings of this type have a little stained-glass window somewhere

 I think about ornate door hinges in the staff wing of a country estate from 1878.  think of patterned wallpaper in a mansion’s kitchen, from 1797. I think about purely functional spaces someone looked at and said, “this needs beauty”

the past was certainly guilty of waste in many ways. but I cannot call making a house more than just a box to live in one of them

Minimalism is just propaganda to make people accept souless surroundings

[whiteantcrawls]

Just because something is utilitarian, doesn’t mean it can’t also be beautiful.
