Wishing you a happy solstice (winter or summer, as the case may be). Unless you're a flat earther, in which case, Happy Inexplicable Phenomenon!

I'm fascinated by today's xkcd, because not only is it true, it also demonstrates how bouba-kiki dualism exists in the words we use for different phases of H2O

Water, steam, liquid, fluid, puddle, and vapor? All bouba words.

Ice, crystal, icicle, freeze? Kiki words.

Snow is interesting because it is bouba, but that might be because collectively snow often looks boaba. When you zoom into it, however, you get the snowFLAKE, which is kiki.

And now I realize that I just made that "Calvin and his dad" meme

COGNITIVE BEHAVORIAL THERAPY RIGHT????

The OTHER CBT?

(Which applies but only to Szeth cause he’s I am positive into it no shame but he’s the only character I can think who would be into it)

Off the coast of Australia Macroctopus caught the shark, wrapped all its tentacles around it and soon released it. Most likely, he scraped all the parasites off her.

One thing about the Euros is that the English still haven’t quite adjusted to the Queen dying so during the national anthem they keep singing “God Save The Quing” like there’s a non-binary monarch on the throne.

"the unitedcare ceo shooter is a rightwinger" is something that you can only disappointment by if you're someone who wanted to have sex with him because he's a skinny white italian bisexual, like sorry but maybe you shouldn't have parasocial relationships with assassins and just admire their moxie from afar like a normal person 🙄

I usually fucking loathe anyone who references 1984 on social media but I do feel like actually Microsoft deciding to underline every use of an intensifier as an error is some Newspeak bullshit. no you can't replace "very nervous" with "nervous" to make a sentence "more concise" actually, because the word "very" has an actual fuckdamn meaning that I am deliberately conveying, you soulless corporate horseshit shovelling cartoon paperclip ass motherfucker
