anytime someone from the UK orders a print from me I’m delighted because the addresses tend to be charming and sound completely made-up, I just suspend my disbelief and accept that I’m sending a package someplace with a name like Bristleberry House at Ditchmallow in Brambleford-on-Cotton—incredible lmaooo I bet this gets delivered to you by a badger in a little coat

I am once again posting my ever-growing collection of towns that sound like PG Wodehouse characters:

[hacash]

All of these areas are places you would certainly get killed in on Midsomer Murders.

[pollydoodles]

I mean these are cute but I also need you to know I grew up near a place called Nasty

this post is absolutely baffling as a british person because like 85% of these names just feel so incredibly normal to me it’s so jarring to see how non-british people react to them

[mornington-the-crescent]

To be fair, I live in a state that has towns called Kalamazoo, Ypsilanti, Hell, and Gaylord, so I can’t really criticize too much.

[mars-moons]

do you, perhaps live in michigan?

[mornington-the-crescent]

I mean, unless there’s another Kalamazoo that I don’t know about…

I get my media recommendations the old fashioned way: by watching someone I follow on here go on an unhinged reblog spree of media related content until I eventually decide to go "alright, what's all this then"

odysseus absolutely does present a threat to penelope if he perceives her as at all unfaithful, and i feel the unfairness of this, and i think people tend to undersell how much tension at least potentially exists between odysseus and penelope. but i'm also like. his reaction, all speculation aside, his actual reaction in the odyssey to her flirting with the suitors is delight, because he immediately ascertains that she is running a con. sorry that they're so in-sync in spite of the forces that try to drive a wedge between them, including their own misgiving hearts. sorry that they invented homophrosyne ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

oh, you meant they literally did, ok

psychoanalyzing the gender/identity dichotomy between ice skating and ice hockey and coming to the more objectively correct conclusion that ice hockey is rooted in motherly feminine behavior of protecting the nest and that ice skating is about masculine peacocking of one's own physical prowess in seeking a mate

there is no such thing as unskilled labour

[cryoverkiltmilk]

I’ll keep saying it.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS UNSKILLED LABOR.

THERE IS ONLY UNDERVALUED LABOR.

No. There is such a thing as unskilled labor done skillfully

[mornington-the-crescent]

For the thousandth time: “unskilled labor” does not mean “this labor requires no skill”; it means “this job does not require specialized schooling”. If you can pull any random schmo off the street and have him trained up to a reasonable degree of competence in a couple of weeks, then that is what is meant by “unskilled labor”.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

While I’m here, let’s look up “menial”.

Huh. Very close to the same definition.

Obviously, there are highly paid jobs that are not “prestigious”, so that was wrong too, even if it was said by a famous dead person.

In 5000 years it won't matter what books you read or what ideology you followed or the cool friends you had. All that matters will be the scraps of clothing you wore, the permanent markings on your body, the surgeries you had, and the method of preservation of your corpse.

There are a lot of video game fandoms that absolutely lose me at the very shallow end of the pool, but the Sims fandom always makes me feel like I'm absolutely drowning in an inch of water

People have always found my need to explain myself really annoying. They’ll tell me to ‘stop going on about it’ or say that I’m ‘getting boring now’ but my mind cannot relax until I’m sure that the person has understood and not misinterpreted me
