Genuinely confident I would've thrived as a mesopotamian. Hanging out in heat, getting wine drunk, writing in clay tablets- it's the ideal lifestyle
Do you ever have the strong urge to set all of tumblr loose on a friend. You know, point out a post like one points out a steak to a pack of wild dogs.
Get ‘em, boys. Get the mesopotamian man.
me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit
mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters
me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU
Hey OP? What the FUCK does this mean?
decay exists as an extant form of life
That’s a terrifying answer, have a nice day
THE ORIGINAL?!?!!!!!!!!;!!!!!!!!???
I am reading through the leaked gc for the first time, and.
Uh.
There’s a lot to unpack there but this made me spit-take.
Funnily enough, when they first meet past the edges of the Sol system, the aliens like the humans.
None of the humans were prepared for this.
The humans prepared for decades- for centuries! to contact life out in the black, and be judged harshly for their past.
The aliens, almost to the one, seemed delighted with humanity and everything they entailed. Good, bad, and ugly.
“You see, we heard you calling out for long, long, long… we could not find where you called out from. Now we have! You called for so long, and now we meet you! It is good to know you! We have tried so hard to find you and say, Hello!”
The messages Earth sent out, just in case there was anyone out there to hear, to extend reassurance that they simply were not alone was received always with delight. And they sparked a soft race to find the origin of such a kind and curious signal into the vastness of the universe.
What if aliens managed to translate our languages and learned what we name our rovers and probes. Curiosity. Hope. Perseverance. Opportunity. Voyager. New Horizons. These names reflect what the best of us value - what humanity, when it is accomplishing its most impossible, holds dear.
Talk about a first impression!
What they don’t tell you about blanket forts is the older you get, the better you get at building them.
I built a massive blanket fort with six old college friends. We all fit under it - six adults! - and just spent a few hours inside talking. 10/10 experience. Never let them trick you into thinking you’re too old for something.
Do you think soul society has a huge betting pool on where Ichigo will end up when he finally, properly dies?
Speculations range from Sokyoku Hill to beyond the last district of the Rukongai to the various biomes of Hueco Mundo to some place that hasn’t been discovered yet because this is Ichigo they’re talking about.
USA people! Buy NOTHING Feb 28 2025. Not anything. 24 hours. No spending. Buy the day before or after but nothing. NOTHING. February 28 2025. Not gas. Not milk. Not something on a gaming app. Not a penny spent. (Only option in a crisis is local small mom and pop. Nothing. Else.) Promise me. Commit. 1 day. 1 day to scare the shit out of them that they don't get to follow the bullshit executive orders. They don't get to be cowards. If they do, it costs. It costs.

Are you with me?
Spread the word.
'This won't work, this isn't widespread, nobody knows, we're in a bubble, blah blah blah' my mom, a 64 year old lady with no social media whose first language is spanish, told me about this before tumblr did, and said we are going to participate.
I've seen flyers for this in real life. Do it.
"What makes this protest unique is its laser focus on companies that have rolled back DEI initiatives. Target, Walmart and McDonald's are particularly vulnerable given their recent policy changes. While a single day of reduced revenue won't devastate these giants, it sends a powerful message about consumer expectations in today's market."
The People's Union is targeting Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy, but the group is also asking boycotters to refrain from spending money on fast food or gas, as well.
If consumers must make purchases, they are asked to buy only from small, local businesses

My parents told me about this before Tumblr did. It’s real, and it’s big. Participate.
The funniest bit about Spock running off to join Starfleet as a "fuck you dad" moment is that there's no way Starfleet was happy about it either. Spock's family is extremely important, T'Pau wields massive influence, Sarek is the Ambassador, ect.
So Starfleet is in this horrible position where they can't say no to this extremely competent and well-connected Vulcan joining up, but it also causes a massive diplomatic headache because his whole family resents it. And then if anything were to happen to him? Major diplomatic incident.
Good thing he's level headed and never throws himself headlong into needless danger---what's that? He's completely unhinged? Oh, well, nevertheless
I want to go make coffee but my kitchen is going to be so so cold… my space heater has psychologically trapped me in my room, the evil mastermind.
The guy who shot the healthcare CEO had engraved ammunition??
Referencing a book about how health insurance denies claims???
This is absolutely insane. I hope this is the next Shinzo Abe, this is buckwild
IT WAS ENGRAVED?????
