“Hozier is a lesbian” “Hozier is a man written by a woman” “Hozier is like if a man was raised by lesbian mothers” “Hozier is like if a man was a woman” quick give me one reason why a man can’t be soft and gentle and poetic and in love without sounding like a terf or a misogynist
worst thing people did was turn the incredibly personal experience of being lgbt into strict definitions and rules and then ridicule and harass others who don’t fit into their neat boxes, as if that isn’t what we were trying to run away from this whole time.
To reduce my screen time, I have weaponised my overactive and entirely impractical levels of empathy for inanimate objects. Wym you’re picking it up again? While it was sleeping? You complete and utter monster, let it rest!!
And it works. It works like a CHARM. Silly problems require silly solutions!

God it really fucks me up that “the bitter end” is a nautical metaphor that has nothing to do with bitter as in flavor. That’s so wrong
This is news to me, please elaborate???
So the “bitter end” means the end of the rope that holds the anchor that’s wrapped around the bits. Aka the ship end of the anchor cable. You can let out more and more cable for a while to make up for bad anchorage, but once you reach the bitter end there’s no more to let out so you just have to hope it holds on. At least that’s the best understanding I have of the explanation I read. It’s a wildly different metaphor than it seems like it is XD
“came back wrong” but it’s food that you heated up in the microwave
OK SO
For anyone who hasn’t heard my Microwave Rant:
Microwaves are designed to be used at a broad range of power levels. If you’re getting bad results reheating your food, and you’re doing everything on full blast, try a lower power setting! 50% power for twice the time, just give it a shot. It gives the heat time to spread evenly, and prevents overcooking of parts that are exposed to more radiation.
People complain about reheated pizza a lot – that’s bc overheating the crust makes it tough and chewy. I usually do pizza on 30% power for THREE times as long because it’s especially vulnerable – and my crust always comes out nice and tender.
I think there’s a good metaphor for Came Back Wrong here too: if you actually take the time to do your necromantic ritual and/or unholy experiment right, and don’t rush it at 100% power, you’re likely to get better results.
Since reading this post and following its advice, my microwaved good comes out so much better.
Since reading this post a d following its advice, my necromantic rituals have come out so much better.
