it's actually sick you get tired of eating the same food over and over when some animals they just eat grass all day mind you. just another pointless challenge mechanic added in by big universe to get you to go to the grocery store

Gosh I love linen. It's so nice to move on from working with my sleeve fabric, a diaphanous poly net that needed to be coddled like a frail consumptive Victorian maiden, and get back to the fiber that remembers when laundry day used to involve beating all your clothes with rocks.

There’s a scientific journal called “Get me off Your Fucking Mailing List”.

In 2005, computer scientists David Mazières and Eddie Kohler created this highly profane ten-page paper as a joke, to send in replying to unwanted conference invitations. It literally just contains that seven-word phrase over and over, along with a nice flow chart and scatter-plot graph.

An Australian computer scientist named Peter Vamplew sent it to the International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology in response to spam from the journal. Apparently, he thought the editors might simply open and read it.

Instead, they automatically accepted the paper — with an anonymous reviewer rating it as “excellent” — and requested a fee of $150. While this incident is pretty hilarious, it’s a sign of a bigger problem in science publishing. This journal is one of many online-only, for-profit operations that take advantage of inexperienced researchers under pressure to publish their work in any outlet that seems superficially legitimate.

sports has everything you could possibly want honestly. found family. forced family. divorced family. soulmates. enemies to lovers. lovers to strangers. good overcoming evil. evil winning it all. broken dreams. dreams come true. and most importantly. bloody face injuries. who said that

when rach said what if i spend the rest of my life just getting worse and worse and drying up and i never become GREAT and when tolstoy said if i could i would rip up everything i ever wrote and when gelsey said im haunted by the memory of who i used to be and when she also said my head was filled with stories of swimming and singing at the moon and when natasha said we were angels once dont you remember? joy and life inside our souls and nobody knows but you and me and when pierre said i used to be better i used to be better i used to be better and when beckett said i try to remember a time when my mind was clean and the darkness tucked away

i simply need everyone to understand that i am tired all of the time. literally at all moments. if i ever go somewhere and do something, it is not because i am somehow full of energy, but instead that i have carefully stored up all of my little bits of energy like a dragon collecting jewels, and am now vaporizing them all at once

if you have the words WOOL SOCKS on your label and then the percentage of wool is 3% and plastic material is 97% I should be able to hunt you for sport

No, I am not 'hoarding craft supplies.' I am sourcing materials for a very big project that will be revealed to me at a later date- perhaps in a dream.

they should invent telling someone they are very important to you and you hope your connection only strengthens but in a society that doesnt train you to be scared of being earnest????????

btw sam kerr's trial for racially aggravated harassment for calling a cop stupid and white is a really dangerous precedent for police power in the uk.

the facts are this, she and her partner were in a cab, drunk. they threw up, the cab driver locks the door on them and drives them erratically. they're afraid because he doesn't explain and sam's white partner, kristie mewis kicks the window open while she calls the police. they are taken to a police station, where the police officer, a few months after sarah everard, laughs at them and dismisses them and actually says to them did you think a cab driver would take you to a police station to rape you? sam calls him sick. they do not verify emergency services for sam's call to the police. while seated and stressed and as her partner cries, sam holds up her phone. she calls him stupid and white inside a police station. the cop files racist hate speech charges against her. the police don't prosecute initially. she's the star of a world cup. he refiles, the case is taken to criminal court. drama. meanwhile the prosecution is making a case to the jury with stunning arguments like imagine if this indian woman called a black cop stupid and black.
