If you ever doubted me, good. Doubt me more. I am of dubious quality.

We report as it is just starting to pour down: we heard thunder over the valley a while ago, but nothing came out of it at first. We were starting to wonder about the nature of the sound, and whether we had forgotten what thunder is like, when a distant, low rumble sounded again.

Wait a minute. Stink Bugs don't have a larva stage. They're just born as little guys and slowly get bigger as they get older??? 🥺

my friends and I have created a game we call Quipposting, where you play quiplash but you roll a wheel full of character archetypes, and whatever it lands on, you all answer as if you are like, a wizard or cowboy. This legitimately makes quiplash go from a fun enough game to an S+ tier absolute unabashed banger

Actually your society is the freaks for shooting everything that moves and burning half your "nature reserves" every year so that upperclass dandies can eat leaded pheasant. North Americans are the well adjusted ones here, your country has become a desolate suburban lawn in island form

Let's talk about what I like to call ranch bottle inaccessibility (inspired by wrestling with a ranch bottle to get the seal off) (please tell me there's a real name for this) which is inaccessibility with packaging. Ten thousand rubber bands on toy packages, freshness seals that are impossible to get off, water bottle caps (fuck water bottle caps). They're so hard for disabled people (and children at that, why can't kids open their own toys without help?). It's pissing me off. Having to have help opening water bottles, using can openers, destroying my teeth since I was little to open toys and candy packages.

“We all miss Barry Bluejeans. He was a beloved character that was in like, two episodes and then he died. But it was the name, wasn’t it? It was the best name and I wasted it on a, uh, Red Shirt”

I’m still tweaking it, but something the Visible app has hammered home these past few weeks is just how much energy my body expends existing.

Currently lying perfectly still and I’m in the ‘exertion zone’ because I’m in so much nerve pain it's making my heart rate elevate.

Being in pain is burning up my pace points. I’ve used two since I woke up this morning simply by being conscious.

Anyone who dismisses the effects of chronic pain on the body or tells you to exercise to push through it is formally invited to throw themselves into the sun.

I love how these are from an Unreality subreddit but to my eye they just read like regular Tumblr shitposts. Did we cross-pollinate or something

That ol’ chart of mine makes the rounds online periodically and it drives me crazy because it’s frankly not very good. So, I finally got around to remaking it.

I doubt this will get anywhere near as popular, but I wanted to make it.

Good reference for animation, comics, and for visualizing phonetics!

I love the kind of books that are written from the perspective of a completely ordinary animal, telling a story of their ordinary life, painstakingly researched to be as close to nature as possible, save for being written out in a language that humans understand. The challenge is always in how much the author tries to anthrophormise the animals, I especially hate when they're given humanlike ideas of love and romance. I'm more down for them having their own bizarre religion than them having stable, monogamous romantic relationships if the subject animal does not actually do that in nature. Like rather give me a story about a completely regular deer buck who observes the beginning of rut like

It's starting to be that time of the year when I become stupid. I hope I won't get killed or injured this year from doing anything idiotic. Hey who the fuck is that guy, get the fuck off my turf.

if I meet u at a party I will often hand you my phone and say something like "this is a list of names for girls. please read through and then add one." the list is special because you can only add to it in person; I won't add something that you tell me about over text. however, I think it's okay for me to share it here. without further ado, I present: girl names (names for girls)
