Swarovski, Preciosa, vintage, uranium glass, and Aragonite natural glow in the dark stones in black enameled settings. Some crystal has aftermarket coatings to make them glow in blacklight and in the dark.ย
it has been like at least eight years and sometimes I still think to myself, when I am tired, โbut I am le tiredโฆ well then take a nap! AND THEN FIRE ZE MISSILESโ even though in retrospect that is like one of the most embarrassingly unfunny videos to ever come out of the internetย
tbh i still start sentences withย โhokay, soโ at least 3 times a dayย
same, aggressively so. I also still useย โwtf, mate.โ
who doesnโt think this is STILL AS HILARIOUS as it was when we all watched it over and over and over again 15 years ago?
Iโve reblogged this before and will doubtless reblog this again because MY ENTIRE GROUP OF FRIENDS WAS SO OBSESSED WITH THIS VIDEO IN 2002/2003 THAT WE COLLECTIVELY BANNED ANY MENTION OF IT EVER AGAINย
AND YET
WE ARE NOW GROWN-ASS ADULTS IN OUR THIRTIES
AND IT STILL GETS QUOTED FROM TIME TO TIME
I HAVE THE WHOLE THING MEMORISED
TO THIS DAY, MY MOTHER REGULARLY SAYSย โBUT I AM LE TIREDโ BECAUSE OF A VIDEO I SHOWED HER IN FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL
THIS IS AN ICONIC PIECE OF INTERNET HISTORY AND I WILL FIGHT ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERS
my wife and I still regularly sayย โhokay soโ,ย โbut I am le tiredโ andย โand some big meteorโs likeย โwell fuck thatโ.โ Fucking iconic.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE AND IโM SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS POST BECAUSE IโVE SEEN IT NOW AND I CANโT STOP FUCKING LAUGHING
God how has it been that long
AND IT IS UNFORTUNATELY SOMEWHAT EVERGREEN 2025
Now what?

Iconic Golden Girls actress Bea Arthur, who served in the Marine Corps, has had her contribution scrubbed from Department of Defence (DOD) website amid an ongoing purge of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
The actress, born Bernice Frankel, was one of the first women to join the Marine Corps Womenโs Reserve, as noted by IMDB. As a trailblazer for future female Marines, she attended boot camp and became a typist.
In June 1943, she was transferred to Camp Lejune, where she attended the Motor Transport School, which helped her earn her next assignment as a truck driver and dispatcher in Cherry Point, NC. She was honourably discharged as Staff Sergeant Arthur in September 1945, but her contribution has now been wiped from the DODโs website.
The DOC website only shows an image of Arthur during her time in the Marine Corps, but information relating to her wartime contribution has been scrubbed. The former link now leads to a โ404 not foundโ page, and the URL begins โDEIbeforeโ.
The page is back for now as of March 23, 2025. Keep on yelling at these people that have been taking down so many distinguished veterans! And fuck them for putting dei in there because it's clear they mean dei as 'you didn't earn it because you're not a white straight Christian male' not 'hey here's the contributions of someone that's been overlooked due to racism/sexism/etc'.
Thatโs why any and every son-of-a-bitch we find wearinโ a Nazi uniform, theyโre gonna die.

Local Hops For Local Beer
With your help we can develop better hops for local growers and brewers!
Hops have root-like rhizomes just under the soil. You can remove a 2-inch piece of the rhizome without harming the plant. Please seal samples in ziplock bags and mail them in or contact us. Plants will be used to breed varieties adapted to the Northeast for local farmers and other growers. Wild hops have valuable disease resistance traits and environmental adaptations to aid New England production.
Common hops (Humulus lupus): A native species grown commercially for brewing beer. It is a vining plant with a green thornless stem.It will usually have leaves growing in pairs opposite each other with 3-4 lobes. It may also have leaves with no lobes.
Japanese hops (Humulus japonicus): An invasive species harmful to the environment. It can be distinguished from common hops by the stiff hairs on its stem, and leaves with 5-9 lobes.
We are collecting samples under Massachusetts state permit #2025-PI03. Please send us a letter with the location so we can collect samples, and post on iNaturalist so state employees concerned with invasive species can monitor the site.

Between 1971 and 1977, there were 38 rear-end collisions of Ford Pintos that resulted in fire, leading to 27 deaths and 24 non-fatal burn injuries.
The American people made Pintos a national joke.
Between 2012 and 2022, untouched Teslas have had 232 confirmed cases of fires and 83 fatalities worldwide.
People in America believe Elon Musk is going to save our nation.
Education is important.
here's what a Tesla battery fire looks like! (the fire in OP was likely someone giving the car a malatov cocktail)
those huge lithium battery packs burn so hot that fire departments can't put them out
Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.
>:)c
May I present to you, nationalclothing.org?
It doesn't have everything, but it's still my first source when researching traditional clothing from other cultures.
There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claireโs Historical Fashion Reference & Resources
another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this
Reblogging to spread awareness
the goldmine folks
Former federal employees from various organizations who were affected by the Trump administrationโs mass firings share with @stephruhle on @11thhourmsnbc the significance of the work they did and their motivations for entering civil service.
If the Democratic Party had any damn sense, they'd be doing this day in and day out. You wouldn't see a D congressperson appearing to make a comment or speech without a fired federal worker next to them. They'd be hammering on this point over and over.
But. You know.
