[Very sleepy voice] have you ever thought about how wind that comes moaning in through a drafty window only makes a sound because it's trying to enter a space that was designed to exclude it? How the attempt to shut out nature only makes its sneaking presence all the more eerie, all the more known?

I feel like Rene Auberjonois could have played a great Javert

The more I think about it, the less Odo and Kira make sense. We all know where they’d both come down on certain historical events of Earth’s early 21st century. Kira: “they didn’t do *anything wrong *!” Odo: “they should have followed directions!!”

*I have no other description for how these birds move. I adore them. Just seeing them makes me so, so happy. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, here is the bird in question. (They're an introduced species but I still find them rather wonderful.) ebird.org/atlasnz/spec...

A tourist stops at a food truck doing smash burgers and loaded fries in a small country town. Looking at the menu she says: " YES! You have American mustard!" The server does a big evil cackle: "AH HA! It's a tourist trap. Ya fell for it." Laughing, she orders a burger, fries, the lot. (5)

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A couple (80s?) walk out of a supermarket in a small country town, search through their trolley for a pack of fresh baked cupcakes and gleefully crack it open. Standing in the morning sun, nibbling on little frosted morsels of happiness. (1)

Re:LRP, yes. I absolutely HATE loud shrill sounds, and I will fucking cope bc it’s more important that my neighbors not be kidnapped. I can go home and decompress. I can leave the area if I’m really badly overstimulated. Folks kidnapped by ICE will have it worse than going home with a headache.

I went to bed before 9pm and omg I’m so glad I did. This is great. I absolutely will not learn from this.

Folks how do you know if an ankle is sprained? You literally can’t put weight on it right? I’ve done something to mine, I don’t remember any injury, but it started two days ago and yesterday I could barely put weight on it. It’s not *as* bad this morning. Seeing Dr

I'm gonna be real I think Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation and other traditional owner groups should have power to overrule the Australian Government on matters like this one, and others

i have activated your almonds. pray i do not activate them any further

So let me get this straight.... this cunt isn't up for terrorist charges or attempted murder? Anyone calling for a royal commission? No thumping of lecturns? No moral panic? Fuck all the way off www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Does the office of mayor have the power to keep them out of the city? If not why not?

‘Where does the empire find so many people to be storm troopers’? I used to wonder. Used to.

Anyone had something paranormal happen? I never seem to meet anyone with paranormal stories. Haunting? Time slips?

Most people walk through Holdbar Lane with no issue. Most people. But there have always been rumours. Rumours the lane existed before the town did. Rumours that sometimes people walked down it & never came back. Rumours they started down it & came out different. Rumours about the Lane Before Time.

I wrote this Tracey Ullman sketch and it was pinned to my Twitter profile for years. So in the spirit of moving everything over to BlueSky, here it is pinned to my feed here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=51-h...

I just know that something good is going to happen I don't know when But just saying it could even make It happen

My 7 year old this morning: People say you can’t talk to cats but I say you can. It’s getting cats to talk back that’s difficult.

I have used literally EXACTLY this tactic, it works as perfectly as if it were tailor-made for the purpose.

“So it can destroy a planet with a taser?” Grand Moff Tarkin: “well ACTUALLY it’s pronounced ‘laser’. It’s quite complex.” “Ohhh. It must be a really cold station, being in space.” “Haha actually it gets very hot! But we put in these thermal vents….”

Any traditionally Catholic girl in Ireland who went around talking about cock all the time in the 90s was emphatically covering up the fact that she was really wanting to be neck deep in muff.

January 26th was only made a nationwide Australia Day holiday in 1994, Australia Day is the same age as this album

Making myself teary again thinking of Ernie & Bert. Ernie would’ve said ‘I love you’ first. Bert couldn’t for ages, so much to overcome in his mind first. Ernie would be patient. He’d be like “I know you do and you’ll say it one day Bert. But until then I’ll say it for both of us.”

“Hey Bert?” “Yeah Ernie?” “Are we… are we roommates, Bert?” “Of course Ernie, everyone knows that!” “No I mean… are we… Bert are we ‘they were roommates’ roommates, Bert?” “…” “Is that what we are Bert?” “I… yes Ernie. We are. Always.” “Oh that’s good. That’s good.”

The Silence of the Lamps is a horror film set on a suburban street where one by one the street lamps stop working, and despite attempts to fix them, they continue not to work. The street gets darker and darker and the relationships between people on it also do.

(guy who has only ever done anything in his life for personal gain, encountering his first grassroots movement) I'm getting a lot of "someone must be paying all these people to do this" vibes
