No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

Everything is a distraction from everything else. The only right thing to be talking about is nothing, which is also a distraction

I *just* remembered that my profile pic here is me, two years and four or five hair colors ago, holding my Tractor Supply warhammer. I just had to discover the other 39,999

it’s so important, now more than ever, that we remember: there’s a cowboy with a big knife in Dracula, because Dracula takes place in cowboy times.

i don't think anyone on here will care but lately I have entertained myself by making some cross-stitch patterns of some world heritage posts, and i can share them with you if you are interested.

if you read one thing today, make it this absolutely devastating piece from a fact-checker who quit the New Yorker bidoun.org/articles/hou...

Today is the feast day of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), here surrounded by plants & a mineral she touted as medical treatments, her invented alphabet & model of the universe. One of my most popular prints this year! 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬 #histsci #histmed Her writings preserve not only her own knowledge & 🧵

you can’t sit with them (because there’s no more room on this tiny shelf where they insist on hanging out)

In this essay, I won't.

Not to worry. I have a Warrant of Trade. #warhammer40k @owlcatgames.bsky.social

"Where's my Breakfast?" by Daniel Arthur

also it's a great day to remind everyone, once again!, not to put anything in writing you would regret having to read into a court transcript later.

on the one hand, fuck Charlie Kirk forever, the dude sucked and was dedicated to making sure things were worse for basically everyone. on the other hand, I’m not *terribly* excited about living in The Years of Lead 2: This Time It’s Stochastic!

lately when i’m feeling hopeless i just think of the Katamari cat wearing scuba gear. if she can survive in an inhospitable environment then so can i

I don’t want to post through it. I want it to not be something through which I feel compelled to post

this bread is terrible. but the circuses? also really terrible

All the hot girls are getting into Warhammer 40k now. Look, nobody expected this, but I don’t make the rules, okay? “Hot girl shit” now includes “understanding how the Cult Mechanicus relates to the greater Imperial Cult” and “having a favorite Space Marine chapter.” Yeah, idk. (Raven Guard, btw 💅)

hobbies? well, if I'm not busy getting revenge on those who've wronged me ... I guess I spend most of my time playing my cool pipe organ while I think about those who've wronged me

*gently to my cat*: you cant be a little fucker. You have to be good. No more being a little fucker. *My cat, purring*: the Being a Fucker hour draws near

Still, there's something inherently violent even about dice rolls. It's like every time you cast a die, something disappears. Some alternative ending, or an entirely different world...

I can’t say whether being being on tumblr for so many years has been a net positive or negative in my life overall, but it did bring me this post that I think about every single day, and that’s something.

James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.

despite having tried to look it up, I’m *still* not 100% on what “sprigged muslin” is, but damned if young ladies in novels ain’t always wearing it

being online for a longtime sometimes means you watch strangers develop and learn and become more functional and sometimes it means you watch them industriously invent new ways to throw themselves onto the same pile of knives over and over and over

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

cars are so stupid expensive

Certain episodes of Columbo were released theatrically in Italy, a collection of posters.

Repost the $67 cat if you believe in getting $67.

" i never see you at the club" well I never see you in the boundless entropic fields of the Warp

thank you so much, hanger. it was an absolutely stunning finish and I can't wait to see what happens next. but I mean I can wait of course because holy shit you deserve to sleep for a week

you have been visited by "Le Boulanger Quebecois" repost to receive his blessing

startled today by going into a bookstore and recognizing the woman at the register from her tiktok. I don’t think this should be allowed.

I don’t think I have it in me to be a funeral director. Maybe a funeral cinematographer or funeral key grip.

that thing cats do when they are loaf and all their legs are hidden, i want to do that

ancient sumerian stand up comedian: who heckles from beneath me? do you not see how high my ziggurat is? the gods look upon me! (realizing that comedy comes from shared humility) but they look at me with disdain

"We'll just terraform Mars," they insist, unable to terraform Earth, a planet that is already perfect except it's like 2° too warm.

just an update: it’s kind of rainy so we took a nap

y’know, I’ve lived nearly a half of my appointed three-score years and ten, and I’m ready to call it now: I never need to hear “What’s Up?” by Four Non Blondes ever again.

Keep thinking about this bit of text from Disco Elysium these days.

VOLITION - No. Not a disaster. Weave this into the story of you. Walk out of its *ruins*. Save those who still can be saved -- *I'm* on your side.

based on a true story

white-spotted slimy salamander, he is very slippery

it sounds like there’s some very normal football happening

The aim of Trump’s 75% cut to NIH overhead is to “reduce federal taxpayer subsidization of leftist agendas” Here in the NC Research Triangle, it will devastate medical & nursing schools & universities, eg Duke, UNC at Chapel Hill, NC State Do senators Budd & Tillis think this HELPS the NC economy?

kinda hate opening this app right now because every piece of news makes me want to vibrate out of my own skin, but I think it’s really important that you see this picture of my cat’s tummy fluff

I am in the world’s slowest post office line, ama

been trying to talk my extraterrestrial buddies into doing a little bit of a Roadside Picnic in america... i just kinda think a strange and inscrutable Zone could be exactly what the nation needs right now. anyway they haven't read it
