ok

and our time warp trek back to 2013-era tumblr continues to pick up speed

Bring on the hedgehogs and otters. :)

Jen Tullock as Devon Scout SEVERANCE 2.09

Instead of using the phrase “it’s five o clock somewhere” as an excuse to start drinking, I propose we use the phrase “it’s bedtime somewhere” as an excuse to start sleeping.

Why not both?

Because I don’t like alcohol culture

My family uses the ‘it’s five o’clock somewhere’ as in wine and cheese hour

But none of us drink

So it’s just.

Fancy cheese and cracker hour.

This is galaxy tier

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK🗣🗣🙌

the Ides of March grows near

The people will say "oh I loved the reverse rain to indoors transition scene in severance 2x7" but hate it if you tell them it's a transition style influenced by paul macguigan's work on the bbc drama Sherlock (2010-2017)

the way ppl have designated cuddling as a purely romantic thing and is weird outside of that context has done widespread damage to our pack animal nature

Mycroft is obviously the one who gets the dancing scene (and is caught by Anthea).

Everyone keeps telling me tumblr is dead but I think maybe that's why I like it here.

I took that sugar cube as a child. I also remember the March of Dimes sign on the easel at many stores, all with dimes stuck on them.

I've told this story more than once, and I'm telling it again because it changed my life. When I was a kid I was terrified of needles, and hated getting all my shots. I was a sick kid with a lot of undiagnosed disabilities, and my gramp picked up on the anxiety I had and decided to talk to me about it. He offered to take me to get my flu shot for a christmas gift that year, and when I grumbled about getting a flu shot he said, "well, I had scarlet fever when I was your age. My parents didn't believe in doctors so I wasn't allowed to get my shots, and so I got very sick and almost died."

It stopped me in my tracks. I was 6. I had heard from adults my whole life that shots were important, but I didn't really understand the consequences of not getting them. I asked him to tell me why his parents didn't believe in doctors. He said he grew up out in the midwest on a farm, and his parents were "a type of christian" that believed people got sick because god wanted them to get sick, and going to the doctor was going against what god wanted. His parents were terrified of making god angry, which was something I could understand considering I was raised evangelical. But I was confused because he HADN'T died. I asked him how he'd made it this far if he had never been allowed to go to the doctor and he'd been so sick.

And he told me that when he turned 15 he'd run away from home, hopped on a train that took him all the way up to New York, and started asking door to door where he could get these new vaccines he'd heard about. Everyone told him the air force base was the place to go. He went in, asked around, and got his vaccines. At 16, he had his very first annual physical. Shortly after he met my gram, who was the telephone operator for the doctors office he went to every year for his checkups. And he told me as we sat there in the doctor's office that he was the ONLY person on both sides of his family to live past the age of 60.

I was both horrified and amazed. I went in, got my shot, and he held my hand and said he was proud of me because what I was doing was important. I was still very scared of needles, but it was easier to deal with the sore arm knowing I was keeping myself safe. He lived to be 90 years old, and he was proud to be the first person in his assisted living facility to be vaccinated for covid. When we went to visit him for his 90th birthday just before he died I asked him what he was proud of doing now that he was 90, and he said he was proud of living this long because as a child no one believed anyone could survive the things he could. He said he was perfectly happy to have married, had kids and grandkids, and eat his Applebees knowing he'd cheated death 15 times over.

Get your fucking vaccinations.
