#this is for down to earth

[theweirdestroller]

Aight, I've got the classical music on, my draft open, and words in my brain. There will not be a chapter coming out of this today, but I have hopes! Not high ones, but I expect to get in the elusive "zone" at least once today. If I write over three paragraphs, I will acquire ice cream and finish watching that movie I started two days ago. After- After I'm done writing, of course

"All your life, you've been rejected by this world."

"You have nothing down there."

"No one who cares about you."

Because i feel like i might be overestimating what the average is, i shall Conduct Research

This isn't about how many languages you speak, but how many youre able to count up to at least 10 in, since basic numbers are some of the first words you learn in a foreign language and sometimes you catch them without having studied the language at all

The russians have hit the very centre of the city of Sumy, in broad daylight on Palm Sunday, just as it was filled with crowds of people.

The city mayor reports there are a lot of dead and wounded.

One of the missiles reportedly hit a trolleybus full of people

Eddie, posting to TikTok at 3AM: Welcome back to Can’t Sleep With The Munsons…The Harringtons? The Harring-sons?

Steve: The Munsons.

Eddie: With the Munsons. What are we overthinking about tonight? *holds invisible microphone out to Steve*

Steve, into the invisible microphone: Nothing. No thoughts. Just craving sleep.

Eddie: So true, baby. Also a lie. I can hear you overthinking. I can smell how ridiculous it is. Hit me with it.

Steve:

Eddie:

Steve: Do you think Ozzy is mad at us?

Eddie: Why would he be mad at us?

Steve: He’s not sleeping in here.

Eddie: Well, we did kick him out for a couple hours. I’m pretty sure he’s just conked out in the living room.

Steve: I’m think he’s getting tired of me.

Eddie: Yeah, no. No one in the history of the world has ever gotten tired of you.

Steve: My parents.

Eddie: Proof they’re creatures from the Hellmouth

Steve, snorting: That’d make me from the Upside Down too.

Eddie: I married an alien

Steve, starting an argument they’ve had a hundred times: It’s a different dimension, Eddie. Not a different planet. I’d still be human.

Ghost King Phantom's secret twin brother WHO?!?!?😱😱😱

[inbabylontheywept]

a silly ode to the first mitochondria, with waaaay too many religious allusions

(the mormons put me in seminary for four years and now it's everyone's problem)

the garden was not made of trees the snake did not exist when Eve was formed inside the seas and then was set adrift

she drifted in the tidal pools prokaryote divine producing simple molecules acids and alkalines

but paradise can never last and every god must fall some swallowed by a cytoplast (entrapped by a cell wall)

what do you call the dead that rise? what name is there for this? an Eve that finds that eden lies inside of the abyss

the wall no longer trapped her in but locked the monsters out the freedom only she could win to swim, and grow, and sprout.

she tinkered with her molecules And in a twist of fate Created one of life's crown jewels Adenosine Triphosphate (1)

what was before a simple wall could bloom with organelles a garden grown from former falls a paradise in hell

a fortress swam inside the brine, a thriving little town where tiny citizens could shine and ride the ups and downs

a golgi apparatus strove to package safe proteins a lysome found a nice alcove and kept the whole cell clean

the centrioles rebuilt the walls whenever they grew weak and eve was known and loved by all as something quite unique:

the powerhouse of the first cell the mitochondria (2) the Jonah that became the whale the jesus of bacteria once eaten by a macrophage then made through death anew the founder of our current age the sprout from which we grew

(yeah, yeah - you try and use this line in a poem)

(gah. this paragraph killed the syllable counts. i was challented to fit the phrase "powerhouse of the cell" into it, and mitochondria had to fit somewhere. both of which were gonna be doozies. decided to put them back to back and break the scheme at the end.

taking all my american followers by the shoulders. listen to me. just because you have a more promising candidate now doesn't mean you just assume it's going to be fine and don't bother voting. assuming trump wasn't going to win is how you got here in the first place so you go out and fucking vote for harris and give everyone a fighting chance.

also if you're still in the 'they're both as bad as eachother' delirium, please take your head out from between your cheeks and consider that your options are an imperfect president and the literal worst person alive who is going to get masses of people killed. i've said it like this before, but it's like deciding between maybe getting food poisoning or definitely having a brain aneurysm. take your pick i guess but don't be surprised when you drop dead.

ive talked about this before but you will never be to convince me that between leonardo "ghosts are a figment of your imagination" hamato and donatello "and clearly, we all know that it's pizzasaurus, the evil spawn of the loch ness monster and bigfoot" hamato, that LEO is somehow the one that believes in them having innate twin sense. donnie would be running scientific tests over gut feelings to prove that shit with a HUNDRED percent conviction and leo would be so fed up with it
