Let’s be friends in Pokémon GO! My Trainer Code is 2187 2262 5081!
I got sucked into a TikTok anti-aging rabbit hole after my fyp inexplicably rec'd me a video listing the "top 5 things that are aging your skin." Those five things were:
-eating with your facial muscles
-drinking with your facial muscles
-sleeping on your side/front
-using your facial muscles to talk
-being outside
So basically, just being alive???
Anyway, I spent 20 minutes of my life in an ADHD trance watching all the things they recommend to stop the aging process, and now I'm fighting the urge to slather myself in Crisco and go stand in the sun for several hours out of spite while using my facial muscles to emote heavily and consume life-sustaining substances.
Reminded by flag discourse about my proposal for a new Massachusetts state flag. The looming black triangle represents the creeping dread one experiences in Massachusetts, the white represents the horrible weather, the blue represents microplastics, and the slogan represents I saw it on a pack of cigs and thought it sounded sick
not gonna become a repost account but i think about “4” “dumb fuck” every day
i was this close to turning off reblogs but someone here actually gets it
Anonymous asked:
Do you know what the consensus on pit bulls is? Some people say the negative stereotypes surrounding them are unfair, while others insist they’re inherently dangerous dogs that shouldn’t be kept as pets. Both views are biased to some degree, so I don’t know which to believe.
bunjywunjy answered:
they’re just. dogs.
and same as german shepards, same as huskies, same as dalmations, they have specific breed requirements and aren’t right for every home! also like all dogs, they have to be trained to be a reliable and safe pet. but with their needs met and good training, they’re about the same as any other dog in their size range (with individual exceptions for personal history and trauma of course)
Except pit bulls have the ability to lock their jaws unlike other dog breeds. So even if pit bulls aren't more likely to attack someone, an attack is likely to be much worse than an attack by any other breed.
common misconception! not actually true tho
they just have very strong jaws, but so do many other large breeds
The misinformation about pit bulls is so easily disproven but also bewildering.
They’re literally just a large and strong dog breed. That’s it. That’s all there is to it. They are not inherently more dangerous than any other large breed with a strong guard and/or prey drive.
They’re just dogs.
They aren’t alligators. They aren’t wolves. They aren’t bears or lions or tigers or hyenas or dingoes or boars. They’re just dogs.
And that’s all there is to them.
Friends of ours have a pit. Me, I have a husband eternally ready to play with a dog. “She’s gonna love you,” Friend predicted the first time he met her. But then we walked in, and the pit sniffed me hello, then took one look at him, and ran off. Not even a sniff! My husband was bereft! He is practically a Disney Princess and yet this dog ran away immediately? What was he doing wrong?
Five seconds later she returned with her best toy, dropped it proudly on his foot, and I swear to god she made heart eyes at him. “YOU will play with me! I can tell!”
Any pit is a LOT of dog. But a good pit is a lot of GOOD dog.

“Mrs R” was the pseudonym of Phyllis Shafer, a Kansas City local who helped found the Phoenix Society for Individual Freedom in 1966, a full three years before Stonewall. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, she and her son Drew operated the Phoenix House, a safe haven for queer people in the city, and a hub of national queer activism. Drew passed away due to AIDS related complications in the 1980s, and his lover, Mickey Ray, spent the rest of his life fighting to keep his memory alive, largely contributing to the creation of the Gay and Lesbian Archive of Mid-America.
“We tend to view American history as this constant march toward progress, which is total crap,” he says. “You gotta fight for that stuff. And if you don't fight for that, you can fall backward. Like it's not just this linear history."
Good quote from the article which may be relevant right now.
Bring this bad boy back with some delicious context for pride
This i
This is why they want to start taking kids who identify as lgbt+ away from their parents. They want to paint our families that support us as not real families and our churches as not real churches.
as a kid i had one of those “there’s a monster under my bed” moments except real.
every night i would cry about a ghost or something trying to scare me by knocking on my bedroom windows and walls. like, really loudly, every hour or so, every night. only at night. so my dad was like “heh okay kiddo let’s check it out :) ah see? there’s nothing here :)” and left.
until years later he admitted to me that he did in fact hear the unexplainable knocking when he slept in that room one night, and it kept him awake with fear. and suddenly felt awful for not believing little kid me.
imagine your kid being like “daddy there’s a demon in my closet” and you being like ok son lemme just check that for you :). and you open the door and there’s a demon in the closet
WHAT
When I was like 6 my brother taped a walkie talkie to the underside of my bed right beneath my pillow and made monster noises into it every night for three months until the batteries finally died
I can’t begin to express the difference it makes just that I’m able to wear exclusively t-shirts, baggy shorts, and flip-flops. And the thing is, right. What you notice is that I’m wearing something slightly odd for the weather. What you don’t notice is that I’m not curled up with my hands clamped over my ears because socks make the clinking plates in the restaurant too loud.
Oddly I don’t see a single occupation listed besides the last where they’ll murder you just because they’re having a bad day and automatically get away with it.
I have only love for the USPS.
reminder that cops have also been logging covid deaths (after refusing to comply with masking orders nationwide) as on-duty fatalities, as well as everything from heart attacks to car crashes to friendly fire. a really significant amount of cop deaths aren't actually due to Criminal Violence, but it's significant that the cops act as though *all* of them are.
the movie really undersells the fact that frodo spent half a year planning to make his departure from the shire as inconspicuous as possible and merry and pippin and sam saw him doing that, figured out he was leaving the shire and that it had something to do with bilbo’s ring, and then spent nearly as long preparing to go with him. icons
worth nothing to people who havent read the books: they didnt tell him they were planning to come with him until the very last minute when he’s finally about to spill the beans, and merry’s just kind of ”yo frodo you have the worst poker face in the shire and you constantly walk around saying shit like ”oughhh i do wonder if i shall ever look down this path again oughhwh woe” out loud for everyone to hear” and frodo just sits there like
AND and. frodo's like don't try to stop me from leaving!! i must go!! and the girlies are like SILLY BILLY we mean to go with you!! and he's like NO NO you don't get it i'm probably gonna DIE!! and they're like no no YOU don't get it we KNOW!! you think we'd let you march off to your doom alone??
okay but don't forget fredegar "fatty" bolger...the one hobbit who was like "I see you're going on some sort of quest...have fun with that, I'll stay here and housesit" and then the freaking NAZGÛL come visit while he's housesitting
Me, ready to remind everyone about Fatty Bolger: I knew there was a reason Adib and I are friends.
But seriously, my boy Fredegar volunteered to deal with nosy Brandybucks and MAYBE Lobelia, and ended up with a Nazgûl drop in and then got thrown in jail for resisting Saruman.
#TRUE FRIENDSHIP#from everyone including Fredegar#who managed to ESCAPE the Nazgul#by running out the back door#he stayed behind in Frodo's house as a DECOY and it WORKED#time the Nazgul didn't know Frodo had left the Shire was lifesaving#they made it to Rivendell by the skin of their teeth as it was#a couple extra hours *mattered* - from @cygnahime
he wore Frodo's clothes for this which probably made no difference given the data the Nazgul had to work with but it sure does show his commitment to the body doubling bit

does tumblr know about tim misny??? like has the level of tim misny awareness that exists in northeast ohio broken containment and become known online yet???
ok so tim misny is a personal injury lawyer here in ohio.
that’s him. you do not have to remember his face from this image because you’re gonna see it a lot in this post. so mainly i think we all kinda honed in on tim misny because of his slogan
he’s gonna make them pay. he’s gonna get you that money but also it’s a little threatening like he’s gonna fully fuck his legal opponent’s shit up. this sprung tons of local memes. then there were the billboards which were normal at first.
but here’s the thing; we already know what misny does. he makes them pay. so it turns into just saying “you know what i do” which is funny enough if you don’t at all have the context.
but this is not where the absurdity caps out, my friends. no. this is what it has evolved to and they. are. everywhere.
that’s right. no text. just the judging eyes of tim misny, glaring through our skin and into our souls. there is no god. there is no devil. there is just tim misny and he’s gonna make them pay.
UH OH, FUCKER ! your sorry ass has just stumbled into
MISNY TERRITORY
