if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

Pretty cool visualization of a day of Metra operations in the Chicago area. Certainly looks more frequent than I would have thought, although evenings and weekends probably aren’t great.

You guys ever been cozy

We were actually just having irl Grinch discourse a couple weeks ago. Specifically, about whether the Grinch is the last of his kind, if he's an orphan (apparently in one of the movies he canonically is?!), how did the rest of his species die, and so on

MY 4-YEAR OLD: *calmly, while coloring a picture of the Grinch* If baby grinches die, we can eat them. If they’re clean. That’s ok

For Christmas my dad wants barbecue sauce, no brand specified

Had a dream that I was in art school and was learning to make human leather. I had to harvest the skin from a human corpse but in the middle of it I needed to leave in a hurry and I was worried about leaving my half-flayed corpse lying around because someone might see it and get the wrong idea

Oh it's cold outside? should we tell everybody? Should we throw a party? Should we invite Parson Brown?

Oh fuck, Christmas is next week?

I did get to spend some quality time with this personal space non-understander

no holiday cards this year, sorry guys, I went out of town for 10 days without much notice and don't have time now. maybe next year cards will return with a brand new sweater for Apollo

What if we kissed on the snench

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

A dog is snoring on me 🥰

today’s affirmation: I am within the acceptable range of deviation. I am a perfectly roasted quail. if I was a car the mechanics would find nothing weird or rodent related in my air filter. I am upright. There are no stones or excess debris in my shoes. I still have all my bones.

top of the Morn to you. ☕️

I fucking love memes you can understand through the language barrier, holy shit

Gf said "thank you for coming to get ice cream with me. and also for your company, which is even better," and I got to say, "it's just like Sarah McLachlan said..."

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

Typoed "amending" as "smending"

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

It just feels like the entire US economy is turning into one big pyramid scheme, conceptually if not legally

Have you ever dropped a glass bottle of makeup on the tile bathroom floor and had it shatter and get glass everywhere and makeup on the walls, on the bathmat, on the clothes you were wearing, on the clothes you were about to change into, in the grout, on the toilet, or am I the first

I made a box

firefox AI and slop disablers from tumblr for the people from local hero mckitterick. Tried it on my end and the browser is significantly faster now (copy paste-able in the alt text)

AD-ROCK: Yo Ebenezer you gotta show re- BEASTIES: MORSE AD-ROCK: Redemption is not a mere matter of Beasties: COURSE MIKE D: We’ll show you Bob Cratchit’s not a lazy BEASTIES: MOOCHER MCA: We’re Christmas Past MIKE D: Christmas Present BEASTIES: AND CHRISTMAS FUTURE

I was reading a physical newspaper the other day and checked out the comics. Have newspaper comics always been this bad? I know I had different standards as a kid but I really think they used to be better?

I get one text from my alma mater and I'm ready to fake my death

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy? Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy Nephew: How??? Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine Nephew: … Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor

Apollo missed me while I was away for the weekend

We are cute together

I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much). If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking: -fancy ginger beer -coconut water -premium juices like lychee and guava -apple cider with cinnamon -Italian sodas -sparkling water Lots of options!

Gf gave me this card for my birthday. Not beating the romance is a bloodsport allegations

Hanging out in the cover art of an algebra textbook from 1992. There's a floating cone nearby and the ground and sky are both grids but different kinds of grids. Might party with the Vitruvian Man over there later

So, just to be clear, in addition to sending queer people out into the cold to starve or freeze to death, the SA also: - provides food services for ICE - provides correctional services to the carceral system - union busts They’re almost comedically evil.

Ah, 8:30 am. The perfect time for my third meeting of the day.

Ugh the shopper that picked up the flowers my gf sent me substituted a bouquet with lilies

Which Twin Cities distilleries that make bourbon are union, again? Wanting to get myself a little treat

It is my birthday.

"But it's not only the letting go — there's also the rejoicing of how we can break the system that created the trauma and the division between us and the original caretakers of the land."

It's entirely possible I'm too stupid to understand Lolita but I always struggle a little when there's discourse so can anyone explain what about Humbert is supposed to make me forget and/or not notice that he's straightforwardly talking about raping a child

I turned off the ai features in gmail and now it's like, "oops! looks like you forgot to have these on, should we just switch them back for you then?"

Gf's THIRTEEN YEAR OLD SON told gf that the two of us are "so cute" 🥺

The union is asking that you not patronize any Starbucks, even ones that aren't unionized, for the duration! Time to find your new favoriteocal coffee shop. To donate to their strike fund: sbworkersunited.org

Absolute carnage in the family group chat as my cousin posts a Christmas riddle from her fiancé’s office that no one can figure out, only to find that someone in the office got ChatGPT to make up the riddle and it’s gibberish that doesn’t have a solution
