one of my fav tumblr phenomenons is when there's a poll where all the answers are just patently absurd and yet somehow there's a clear winner

[hersurvival]

Welcome!

This isn't a place I've shown anybody before. So if you've found me, don't tell anyone.

Things are dark here. And sad. They're real and they've found me. Please be wary going forward, there are triggers hidden everywhere. This is your warning.

Enjoy your stay and I hope you never feel this way.

Edit: Things have been a little less dark and sad here lately ♡

Check the tags for a quick directory of my collection ♡

(It is a work in progress, I swear I am trying to organize my life. But not really, I'm lazy and overwhelmed when it comes to straightening my own chaos.)

yk he’s looking at steve like

Steviepop cuddling in Soda’s bed??? (Maybe a guest appearance from Ponyboy being annoyed about his spot being taken by Steve specifically lmao)

Yeah I can dig that

(you decide if Pony’s complaining to Darry, Johnny, or Mark Jennings/Curly Shepard lol)

variations upon a theme

[aviatrix-ash]

Sometimes I gotta spin the helis main rotors or tail rotors during my daily inspections, it helps me get a better look at or to grease some parts on the other side of the main rotor I'm too short to reach over for on the Long Ranger, which has built in steps on one side, but not the other side. & I don't have a tall enough ladder to use when out in the field

this cycle definitely repeated with soda and ponyboy because 1. soda was mad pony wouldn’t run around with him and 2. soda was mad ponyboy wasn’t an actual pony (he went around school telling his friends he had a pony for a little brother and felt betrayed when it was not a pony but instead just a plain old boring baby)

Darry did not like Sodapop when he was born. When he first learned he was getting a little brother, he was ecstatic. He’d always heard his friends talking about how much fun their little brothers were, and he couldn’t wait to have somebody to play with. So, when Soda was born and he couldn’t do anything except sit there and cry, Darry felt like he’d been cheated. He tried to get the baby to play tag? The baby sat there. He tried to show Soda how to draw? Soda sat there. He sat his parents down two weeks after they brought the baby home and told them that he thinks it’s broken and they should send it back and get a new one. The Curtis parents found this hysterical of course, even thought Darry was VERY serious. They never really got it through Darry’s head that Soda wasn’t broken, he was just a baby. Darry kind of just figured it out on his own over time. One day Soda was crying and the Curtis parents couldn’t get him to quiet down no matter what they did. Eventually Darry came out to complain about how loud the baby was being and Soda started reaching for him. They sat Darry down on the couch and handed him the baby, who immediately stopped crying and nuzzled into his neck. That’s when he decided that maybe his little brother was okay.

do you count alaska as am honorary midwest state? it's midwest in all ways but location

So, uh. Given that it's very difficult to farm (midwest) food there, I'm gonna have to say no. Like, it's literally a joke about how much corn. My friend is from Washington (i think?) And they don't like corn. Must be because they aren't from the Midwest. They kinda thing.

I mean, I've never been to Alaska. But I also the whether isn't as fickle either, which is kind of a big thing. Like, Monday it was like 58 Fahrenheit, and last night there was a freeze warning. And I don't know how the language differs here to there.

But, yknow, to keep it fair. I'm gonna make a poll. Because I live on the edge of the Midwest, which is why I'm an okay judge for Michigan language, but not really for the west side of the Midwest. Maybe they think differently.

Be sure to read each answer before voting.

Greetings friends! I am going to get straight to it, I am homeless and need money for as many stays at a cheap motel or hotel. I am going on 245 days of sobriety and I was fortunate enough to have a friend help out with a hotel stay tonight but after this I do not know what I am going to do. I have to get the rest of my clothes and my medication, and I have a few items that I will need some time in the very near future. I am turning 28 on the 19th and for the time being I am without permanent shelter. If anyone can help a leftist gamer transgender indigenous gal who's staving off sub freezing temperatures, please consider help me as I make this desperate plead for any mutual aid whatsoever.

You can use this letter template.

President Biden,

With a projected lifespan of 30 years and accumulated greenhouse gas emissions of more than 280 million metric tons, ConocoPhillips’ massive Willow project in Alaska would be – if approved by your administration – a carbon bomb.

Now that the Bureau of Land Management recently recommended approval of the drilling plan, this is a good time to pause and remember that America’s Arctic is warming about four times faster than the rest of the planet, causing permafrost to melt and Arctic communities to literally be consumed by the sea.

In a display that would be comedic if it weren’t so absurd, ConocoPhillips is literally deploying equipment to refreeze and stabilize permafrost so they can continue to extra destructive fossil fuels from beneath the tundra.

You campaigned for the presidency on a promise to “lead the world to address the climate emergency and lead through the power of example.” You assured the nation that we would achieve a 100-percent clean energy economy and net-zero emissions by 2050.

But with a projected 30-year lifespan, in 2050 Willow would still be pumping out greenhouse gases, and its infrastructure would have resulted in more widespread oil development in the Western Arctic.

You have the power to defuse this carbon bomb. Please, for your climate legacy and the health of the world, reject BLM’s shortsighted recommendation. Stop Willow with a formal record of decision that selects a “no action” alternative

now it’s soda who’s the one always asking “why” when he wants to get under darry’s skin

ponyboy was such an annoying kid. when they were younger, and pony still tried following his big brothers around everywhere, he was constantly touching stuff and asking why. and i bet it wasn’t even on purpose, not when he was little at least

one time, when pony was like 6, he was waiting on darry to walk him home from school. when he did show up pony would not stop asking why.

“why are you late?”

“i was busy”

“why?”

“i had football practice and it ran late”

“why?”

“i dunno pony ask coach”

“why?”

“why don’t i know? pony istg” and darry is so fed up because he’s already gonna have to help pony with his vocabulary later and that’s going to be a huge pain in his side

“why?”

“ponyboy if you ask me why one more time, i’m gonna beat the mess out of you”

and bless pony’s heart as he hesitates, but why his big brother do that ? so he really can’t help but ask “..why?”

and darry he wasn’t really going to beat only up but it’s really muscle memory and instinct that he pushes pony down. like, darry doesn’t falter. he’s still walking home with or without pony

only one person I think will know what I mean by this but I lived about a mile up the Talkeetna Spur in 2019 having a fire that big and destructive burning along the Parks was SCARY

Bookmarks. No matter how much people turn to e-readers, people still prefer a good bookmark. Mine are usually fandom or meme related. Sometimes geese & Rick Rolls. All of these have sold can you believe?

The finished Tim Robinson said “you sure about that?”

The real reason I’m posting this is to hijack the algo and ask for help for my friend. You can find his story (& updates) both below and at my tumblr. Everything helps, even a share or a modest donations.

he said if pony ever broke another piece of furniture again he’d be paying for and having a funeral for it

Sometimes Darry comes up with creative punishments for Ponyboy when he’s being a shithead.

Like, one time Ponyboy broke a lamp with a football after Darry told him like eighty times to not throw it in the house and instead of grounding him, he made Ponyboy write a whole two page eulogy for the lamp, and then had him read it out loud to everyone at dinner the next night.

The funniest part is that it worked because Ponyboy never threw a ball in the house ever again.
