My dad fell asleep watching some youtube video in the living room but his youtube is set to auto play and i just heard ‘Big foot mating call’ before the loudest guttural noise imaginable reverberated this whole house. And hes still asleep
Step mom came out from her room and was like ‘Hey Jim? Why?’
if this somehow makes it to a facebook meme page and my dad sees it i will literally never forgive any of you
*Trying to make small talk at a bar.* Barnacles are more closely related to butterflies and crabs than they are clams and snails. Kinda fucked up, right? Yeah, they have antennae and everything. I always thought they were mollusks as a kid but they’re not. They’re weird little freaks. They’re arthropods and crustaceans at that. If you ever see barnacles growing on a lobster or a crab, it’s like their lame cousin is hitching a ride with them. I’m scared of barnacles in the cosmic horror way Sherlock Holmes pretended to be worried about bivalves in The Dying Detective. Are you more of a mollusk guy or a crustacean guy? I love them both, can’t pick a side. Do you like Sherlock Holmes?
“you need me boy, your free will is an illusion” is a line that objectively goes hard as hell out of context. it sounds like the kind of thing that you’d see as the title of some fanfic about those dudes from the hannibal tv show of maybe even the super naturals one having gay sex. if you told me it was a lyric from hozier’s new single i’d probably believe you. it’s so much better than that though. it’s from a tiktok where a guy pretends to be a ps5
Dude it does not go hard it sounds like something doofenshmirtz would say
amazing lion dance (traditonal chinese folk art 舞狮wushi) in guangxi province
Me: the technical and athletic prowess required for this is a sign of human endurance and dedication to art to create a fluid and lifelike dance of a culture that has existed for thousands of years
tbh when I see other lgbts in public like a gay couple or like a trans person with pride flag and pronoun pins i try and give them a Look like telepathically communicate like yes hello peers like when two bus drivers pass
but I know if they ever notice me I probably look like this
TL;DR – Twitter thread by a library worker on a news article about a woman who pulled hundreds of books out of a library dumpster and donated them to an underserved school. THOSE BOOKS WERE THROWN OUT FOR A REASON. Like outdated science, racism, and misogyny. #ContextMatters
People are extremely, unreasonably attached to Books As Objects. My store only recycles books that are damaged somehow, and we still get people trying to stop us and insisting that they’ll take them to The Library/Goodwill/some random school that most assuredly doesn’t want a box of moldy genre paperbacks or self help books from the early nineties that have their spines broken and have been written in extensively.
We have to explain at length that if we can’t sell something because of physical condition issues, no one else is going to want it, and with a good portion of these people you can tell that they think we’re lying. I don’t know what they think is in it for us to prevent perfectly good books from finding a home, but they’re convinced that there’s SOMETHING, because these are Books and therefore they must all be Good and worth saving.
I don’t actually have an answer for the burden people like this place on the organizations they think they’re helping, because in 17 years of working with books I haven’t managed to come up with a foolproof way of dissuading all of them from trying.
Little Free Libraries are lovely, but one of the main things they’ve done for me is help me understand that there are actually quite a lot of books that nobody wants.
There’s also…some food just needs to be thrown out. like, if a box of oranges is ¾ moldy and ¼ fine, probably it’s not worth it to anyone to sort through for the non-moldy ones. It’s worth saving some food that would be thrown out otherwise, a lot of actually good food gets thrown out, but not all food that gets thrown out can or should be salvaged.
Truuuuueeee.
And you know who is more likely to lack access to health care and more likely to have untreated medical conditions? People who can not afford to buy food and books.
Your moldy oranges are going to make them sick. So are your moldy books, by the way. Outdoor free libraries are the perfect place for mold. If you see this:
or this:
That book is gonna give someone who can’t afford health care pneumonia (or an eye infection if they touch this shit and then touch their eyes). Treat the mold if you know how to do it and then store it somewhere dry or THROW. IT. OUT.
