It's giving
But [Rosie] was not very good at maneuvering a spindly British bicycle. As "airplane commander," Rosenthal was issued along with a good deal of other matériel, a bicycle for getting around the wide vistas of Thorpe Abbotts. He found himself heavily burdened by all this issue but somehow managed to get himself upon the cycle. He carried a load of gear in one arm, had draped his life preserver around his neck, and set off in the general direction of his quarters.
Rosenthal managed to do pretty well, for he got some distance away from the supply hut and was pedaling his uncertain way along a little dirt road. A shift in the load contributed to a series of unusual course changes which came to a sudden, damp conclusion as Rosenthal, newly issued supplies and bicycle plunged down an embankment into one of those charming little ditches that run along the picturesque rural English roads.
Lying in the water (which was not deep), Lieutenant Rosenthal felt there was only one thing to do in this emergency as he lay there, face up in the ditch: he inflated his Mae West. This was probably the only time during all of the Second World War that a member of the 8th Air Force was thus saved from British waters.

#i can just imagine him there#in an inch or two of water#staring up at the sky saying nothing#and having a life vest slowly inflate#comedic timing gold#akdhskfhskfj#proof real rosie was just as endearing as mota rosie#amazing#you’re one of the best pilots of wwii and you can’t ride a bike#me 🤝 rosie#robert rosenthal#masters of the air#robert rosie rosenthal#rosie rosenthal

Another well tended fish tank?! In a drama?
Props to My Dear Gangster Oppa for the third ever fish tank in a BL that doesn't stress me out!
#my dear gangster oppa#the other two were in 609 bedtime story and only friends#every other fish tank I've ever seen in a drama only has three inches of water and is too small and i hate it

basement flooded 🙃
#keeping it fun and funky fresh#personal#our house in the middle of our street#just a little. half an inch. maybe one inch. only in the center not even all the way out to the walls#thank fuck i noticed it this afternoon and not like. tomorrow. saturday.#i've mostly got it mopped up/pumped out. two dehumidifiers & two fans on downstairs.#ran the sump pump until i was Sure it was just flushing fresh water in & not still draining.#i didn't need this. i was already fucking tired and upset today.#and it reminded me too much of being in the Hell Room doing winter maintenance#endless sisyphean task. not even really sure i'm doing it right. gross. feeling physically & mentally bad while doing it.

'oh I bet my favorite glass water bottle is the perfect size to put the rest of this tea concentrate in' -- guy who is going to want to drink water sooner than she's gonna want to make boba
#I own many water bottles and also. cups. I'm a grown woman. I can drink water out of any of these things#I've only had the glass bottle for a few months even#AND YET-- HERE I SIT-- UNQUENCHED--#it's become THE water container for upstairs (I have a huge nalgene that lives at my desk downstairs)#IT-- SO-- LISTEN THE THING IS IT'S PERFECT FOR DRINKING WATER OUT OF#the mouth is like two inches wide which is THE ideal size for a water bottle mouth it turns out#and the glass around the rim is really thick but also rounded so it's nice and smooth#just a really perfect sensory drinking experience! that pairs really well! with NICE COLD WATER#but now it also has at least two servings of tea in it that I don't want right this second#weh... WEH....#about me

Played fuckin D1 rugby players today (we are D3 for the record) and for the entire 30 minutes I was on the field they did not score. Neither did we, mind, but while I was with the pack those fucks did not score and that's what matters.
#i landed in two inches of frigid standing water at least three times. did about twelve back to back scrums. dunno the tackle#number there were many. one dog pile that fucked my neck a bit because that blond bitch diagonal from me kept wrenching#i played with the starting pack and im very proud of everyone. i could have done better but I didn't go into it with the best headspace#had some good convo with coaches tho about the pack and our set up and tbh they felt i did solid for my game time so maybe its me#being hard on myself#got a lovely drunken ode of admiration from the fierce side captain which had me ready to cry#rest of my squad is out partying with the dc team. i am soaking these old bones and hoping they get home safe#im the sober dd as always this season#brunch at 11 tomorrow 🥂. Saturday is a Rugby really means your weekend is never your own lmao

ENIES LOBBY TIME!!!
Sanji's face here.... he Knows he is going to fuck him up
THAT IS SANJI??? 😨
Holding them in my hands again....
Sanji struck a nerve there akdjaoajkq
Increible trio btw.... look at the evidence
............ me next please 🙏🏻
That is love right there I can see it
What if we all killed ourselves (except usopp is telling her the opposite ajahkdhsakjd)
I need sanji to go insane like this more often.... after the timeskip it doesn't happen as much and I love to see him suffering
This is so funny.... there is no denying to her face card
"It's not like she actually wants to die" well yes she does, but no because you know she doesn't really. It is in a quantum state right now
Luffy is such a menace akdhaksjkaak
TELL EM!!!! THAT'S MY GIRL!!!!
Look at franky worrying about robin.... do not fret luffy is coming and he will NOT lose!!!!!
This is zoro remarking how usopps fear of being left behind makes no sense.... this is so good.....
This is so endearing but it also breaks my heart....
Who is that sultry binch... (I don't recall this attack AT ALL and i'm sure we never see it again)
They botched his bbl.... 😔😔😔
Luffy's face here... he was convinced she wanted to go with them but was compelled to do otherwise but no.... he thought wrong and he can't fight to her.... I've just been staring at this page for minutes like damn.
Nevermind.... this is something your mother would say "you want to die??? Just wash the dishes and you can do whatever you want later"
"If you wanna die, or whatever...." this is so good like he knows what he is doing.... he Knows.... look at her face. After knowing how luffy and ace were as kids this just makes more sense (oda didn't think about this i'm sure but damn does it fit) also the slight manipulation.... look at all of us we're already here and look how we all miss you already... you know that post about luffy being selfish but his selfishness is jusg kindness to others... yesh
Thinking about robin's cinderella lifestyle.... why did her mother leave her with that aunt and why didn't some archeologist take her in?? Because she doesn't complain about anything just like she doesn't respond when that mother accused her of hitting her child without reason... that's so fucked
Alright this is funny (and also true)... I'm sorry fellow women....
*Justin Bieber voice* I like your laugh... dereishi shishishi
SHE'S GONNA ASK HER MOM TO TAKE HER TO THE SEA WITH HER??? LIKE SHE DOES AFTER WITH LUFFY??? MY GOD!!! I just bursted into tears like I got punched in the nose I can't keep going ajdhakajk
I lied i can keep going... but head in my hands over this....
Find out how my emotional stability survives this arc in ennies lobby part 2. coming soon
#franky calling sanji brother eyebrows is too good akdbsksnsk also ily franky#captain t bone.... he got killed tecently.... i forgot who he was until now but he actually cared thats so fucked up.... cross guild come o#sanji going against cp9 by himself.... i shant say it... SLAY!!!! also the cook being mad about being pretty cause he has no individuality.#lucci talking about a little girl being born wrong and needing to die for it TO SANJI!!! OOF!!!#the frog stopped rocketman bc he thought they kidnapped kokoro just like they took tom 😭😭😭 this fucking frog always gets me#chapter 377 and franky is in the headline with the strawhats ❤️❤️ they recruit TWO thirty year olds in enies lobby ajdhaksjks#franky biting spandex head.... yeah... and he should do it more why did he stop biting heads... he got domesticated#luffy is such a menace here like damn.... he is charging thru EVERYTHING!! GET THEM BOY!!!!#also franky is so important in giving robin hope here... like she sees him fighting back no matter what and i KNOW that inspires her...#i am going to say it hina fullbody and jango have a challengers thing going on but without hina being involved physically iykwim#when in action panels the ink just becomes lines... OOF!!! CHEFS KISS!!! MWAH MWAH#completely forgot gear 2 used the shave technique.... thats so cool..... also iron body must be haki then... and finger pistol#i dont think i can do this... after this ends we got thriller bark and then marineford starts building up...#i can endure water 7 sad moments bc everything ends up well in the end but what am i gonna do with marineford.... my god#also dr clover and dr hyruluk and crocus all have smilar plant based hair designs is that bc they are doctors or just coincidence#also robins father is dead and for sure another archeologist or similar.... thats inch resting....#which also like damn olvia and dragon had to make the same choices with their children i am sure. thats so fucked. dragon backstory when#clover knew the name of the fallen kingdom (robonosuke lore??) and also olvia knew some important information the gov didnt know... ✍️✍️✍️#SAKAZUKI SHOT THE EVACUATION SHIP???? HELLO??? I DIDNT REMEMBER IT WAS HIM!! (also olvia knew where saul was)#kuzan is sick in the head... he can't bring himsef to kill child robin but he will kill her as an adult... also his beef with akainu is OLD#like no wonder she was terrified when she saw him again. he said live like a recluse or i will end you and she fucking did. THE bogeyman#there are comments saying they hate akainu and he has just appeared 😭😭 JUST FUCKING WAIT#you guys think when luffy realised robin's enemy was the world gov he also realised it was sabo's enemy too.... bc as a child he didn't kno#also pluton was made as a countermeasure for the weapon robin could reactivate... could that be the one that was used in lulusia??#bc i thought that weapon was pluton but if pluton is just blueprints.... this makes more sense... which could also mean the ancient weapons#are a countermeasure for weapons the government already has. and thats why they're hunting them down. to have no opposition#so there must be two sides of the ancient weapons bc they call pluton that but also the unnamed one that robin could activate#so is pluton a countermeasure to uranus (the one used in lulusia i think) but neptune? trios dont make sene but a trio and their opposite d#reading one piece#enies lobby

ive been babying this spider plant for years and I’ve never managed to split it without the cutting dying. meanwhile i have four aloes that i can’t kill no matter how hard i try and they keep putting out shoots
#i say cutting but spider plants are rhizomatic. the rhizome will last fine in some water for a while but it shrivels as soon as i plant it#i left an aloe on my windowsill for two weeks and it was shriveled and brown and I put it in water and it had inch long roots in two days

it's been a real struggle to find notebooks that I actually like, but I think I have found myself at a crossroads where I must ask myself--
am I the kind of person who would put function above form, and use the lovely, though plain notebooks from the office supply store
or am I the type to say fuck it, form over function, bitch, and order a custom-made one with a collage of my blorbo on it strictly for the meme
#squirrel speaks#i'm like... genuinely considering a custom one#because i have such DIFFICULT TO MEET needs as#1. hardcover that's not spiral-bound (because that shit digs into my wrist and i hate it)#2. lined (preferably a bit tighter than average because i write tiny but that's really whatever)#and 3. not straight-up fucking hideous#which is really not saying much because literally my favorite one i've had so far has been Plain Traffic Cone Orange#my threshold for hideous is LOW. the bar is TWO INCHES off the ground and yet it just cannot be cleared by so many stores#i doN't want glitter and sparkle and squishy bits and extra doodads and dumb quotes#i just want a nice flat design. maybe artwork. maybe a pattern. a cute character. something not obnoxious. is that really so hard#i'm tempted to just buy plain ones in every color there is#but i'm also tempted to make a wildly ugly collage#and just make some poor worker somewhere plaster Astarion's face all over a custom one for me For The Bit#...... though i am also thinking of just. buying a bunch of sticker sets and making a fucking scrapbook of it#i'm a goddamn adult; if i want to stick Astarion's face onto my notebook water bottle AND phone case I fucking can#who's gonna stop me; the police? hardly#the cringe police? they can try#i'm too slippery; they won't catch me. weasel-woman 2.0

Harrowhark's appearance would absolutely kill a 17th century Massachusetts Puritan on sight but you know what? They would respect her bathing habits. Taking nasty sad little baths in 2 inches of tepid water. Poor girl has never felt a pleasant sensation in her life and she's not about to start now. Hot water?? absolutely not, if your pores open up that's how the demons get in.
#i did in fact ask google about this. google says the puritans didn't even do the two inches of tepid water#they just changed their underclothes instead of bathing. gross. but i'm keeping the joke anyways. begone historical accuracy#the locked tomb#harrow the ninth#harrowhark nonagesimus#harrow the ninth spoilers#nonasbirthday

being a catholic child was so funny cause they tried so hard to convince us in school that even though it was actually jesus in the flesh in the eucharist it still wasn't cannibalism somehow. now as an adult I'm sitting here going but it kinda is cannibalism? and it's cool?
as a kid when my catholic friend got confirmed i asked her if the wine tasted like blood and she was like nah it just tastes like wine....and that was when i decided catholicism was a sham
#we used to have theological arguments at the ages of like 8/9 it was very funny#i'd be like my mom says it's a sin to eat pork! and she'd be like well MY mom says it's a sin to tell other people they're sinning!#we would each pray for the other's family to convert to adventism/catholicism#she would try to flick holy water on me when i got dragged to mass with them and i would dodge it like it had catholic cooties#i'm pretty sure she had a crush on me at one point?#anyway she turned into being two inches away from a neonazi so we haven't been friends for years lmao#the ask tag

cursed but true fact. when barbie and blitz were kids, if you picked them up they'd start wiggling like feral cats and / or eventually go no bones to make it that much harder
#hh tw#( cursed. )#( blitz hc. )#tilla trying to wrangle them into a bath - flood the tent & then eventually start drowning in like two inches of water#to this DAY sometimes blitz goes a little feral if you pick him up#he's sort of house trained

You know, I considered keeping these in my inbox, make it an aquarium, but I think it's best if I set them free Just look at how shiny they are!! Absolutely lovely little dudes, I love their coloring and frilly fins
#thank you so much for sending me these!!#they made my week tbh#goofy little fellas#Their names are really interesting too! They are also called 'Devils Hole Fish' in english#And 'Teufelskärpfling' in german which roughly translates to 'Devils finfish' in english#They are about 2 to 3 cm long which is like one or two inches I think? I have no idea about inches and all that#The individuals in this image are (as seen in the file name) male which can be seen in their blue color; in general they are silvery white#(with in general I mean outside the mating season; the female fish are silver all the time iirc)#They are endangered and only live in one place which is also where they were discovered around 1830? or 1890...or 1930? I hate numbers :(#it's one of those I'm sure#That place would be a limestone basin above a warm water source called the Devils hole (hence the name of the fish)#That water source is located 15m underneath the ground and the basin above it is about as big as a small room I'd say#People have tried to grow the population artifically but it failed which is tragic since the population in that basin is still declining#as far as I know at least; it's possible I missed something and it went back up again but last I knew there were like only... 110 of them?#This is because of a pump station located very closely to this Devil's hole (can you see I find that name is amusing?)#is stopping the water in that basin from rising; and therefore endangering the habitat of these fish#The close by Hover Damn is also responsible for this and researching this I did not expect this name to pop up#Fallout New Vegas follows me everywhere it would seem#And also! They eat diatoms which are some funky looking things as well! Algae if I remember correctly#I highly highly highly recommend looking at pictures of those#They are pretty pretty; trust me on this#Also; and feel free to ignore this; but these guys give me Mirage and V1 from Ultrakill vibes#based on the color mostly#Although really; show me anything blue and metallic and I will find a way to make it about them#Don't even get me started on color associations; I will not shut up and that is a promise#I could make one of those 5 hour breakdowns of why which shade of any color makes me think of the little idiots that occupy my mind 24/7
