Me, watching Bob's Burgers seasons 1-8: "Haha. Funny handyman Teddy. Love that silly guy. He's a sweet guy who lets people take advantage of him too much so I'm glad he has good friends like Bob and Linda :)" Bob's Burgers season 8 episode 5: "Teddy is a handyman because of the fact he took on the role of 'fixer' in his broken family very early in life, going as far to sit between his parents at every meal to try to keep them from fighting. He compulsively hordes broken items to fix, even if they're clearly beyond repair, because he sees himself in them, along with seeing it as his purpose to fix things. He sees himself as damaged goods and so everything done to him is therefore his fault, including his wife cheating on him heavily and then leaving him, saying that his 4-5 day work schedule gave her no choice but to cheat on him. He doesn't want to "give up" on the broken items because he feels that when he was hurt and needed support, those he loved instead gave up on him. As soon as the realize that this is the case, Bob and Linda help return the items they forced him to throw away to his apartment, realizing that they had a lot of emotional significance to Teddy that needed to be worked through slowly and carefully, not just by discarding the items he clearly is using as a coping method for his issues of self worth and that they forced him to move too fast in the process. Because they don't see Teddy as damaged goods. They appreciate him and care about him as he is. Even if they find certain things about him aggravating, they don't see these things as insurmountable flaws that need to be fixed or they'll abandon him. They're there to help HIM with his dinner, not because they need him to help them. They then have Thanksgiving dinner(an event that is a running gag in the show to always be a disaster in some way despite Bob being obsessed with it) together and, for the first time in 8 seasons, Bob is able to make it exactly the way he likes and it turns out perfect, even to his extremely high standards when it comes to Thanksgiving."

(*all these links and more now in this rentry page. will no longer be updating this post, instead refer to the rentry page)

Last updated 3/6/2024 with Gaza Wound Care & We Feed Gaza. Wanted to focus on Palestinian-run grassroots initiatives that will actually reach Gazans on the ground, so all of these except eSIMs, PCRF, MAP are by Palestinians. Donating to international orgs is not ideal rn as aid is still being stopped at the border. Please focus on Palestinian-run initiatives on the ground in Gaza.

Remember, small donations really do add up. Any amount counts, even $1!

hi this is a comic about me please be nice

[heckyeahponyscans]

I watched the "hyper realistic" version of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" on Youtube and I was not ready for the utter lack of emotions from the CGI animals.

Nala looking concerned about Simba hiding something about his past, a comparison:

Also, in the CGI version this song called "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" does not take place at night.

so once me and my wife were watching a documentary where a snake ate like a million eggs. that snake just went to fucking town on eggs. and the snake made the eggs look so good that i kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and thinking about it, and eventually it was 11pm and i ran out of willpower and decided to eat one (1) singular raw egg just to prove to myself that the snake was surely a liar.

the snake was not a liar. texture is like, super important to me and raw eggs are very Texture so i had another one, and then another one, and then another one, and eventually i ran out of eggs.

i had like, fifteen raw eggs.

i didnt really know how to explain this momentary madness to my wife, so my Plan was to put all the eggshells into a grocey bag, and then throw that grocery bag in the dumpster, and if she never noticed that would be Excellent and if she noticed immediately i could lie and say that the eggs went bad.

except i cant lie very good, and of course with murphys law being such, i got salmonella.

so i threw up a lot and my wife asked me what poisoned me so and i tried very hard to dodge the question but i was oozing shame like oil from a room temperature cheese and eventaully i gave in and told her everything and to her enormous credit she was more flabbergasted than actually upset. she did make me promise to not eat any more raw eggs, which i have stuck to, and she gives me weird looks during nature documentaries now as if desire was the only thing keeping me from eating thousands of pounds of krill anyway i made a joke earlier about being able to eat my age in eggs and my sister in law in law made a drawing to comemorate the moment and also because it was my birthday. she's excellent. thank you 10000000% @cintailed. you should all visit her page and admire her work.

crazy how 4 hours of work will literally take up my entire 15+ hour day. who allowed this

[fieldlands]

i feel like it's absolutely crucial in the social justice world to take "he a little confused but he got the spirit" and similar sentiments/situations as a Win. intent is so much more important than saying it right the first time! if someone is approaching with scuffed language and incorrect terms but they're visibly being as polite as they know how, that person is a friend and should be treated better than what their words might invite in someone else's mouth.

you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.
