ON WISCONSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what I mean by right wingers being the MOST out-of-touch!!!! Journalists who interviewed Wisconsin voters are saying that voters for both candidates were really turned-off by Musk's role in the race, and that they thought it was clear he was trying to buy their election. Musk and DOGE are getting booed in town halls in deep, deep red districts. These Republican Party officials are failing to listen to their own voters, not even just Democrats or swing voters, when they say these things. The only way you'd fail to recognize that Musk is unpopular throughout the American populace and its political spectrum is if you're in a far-right echo chamber, probably online. If you're just straight-up not leaving the house to get your impressions of how people vote.

you will live to witness manmade horrors that are completely within your comprehension if you've paid any attention to a single piece of human history but are nevertheless still huge bummers

Gif sets are SO important to me. Yes, please take this scene and break it up into 4 or 6 three second loops that I can study over and over to appreciate the small details of it

I want to be a house un-flipper. I want to buy expensive houses and make them look so shitty it devalues the entire neighbourhood

I did this. I wouldnt call it making it shitty, but some people have scoffed and said I “Redneck’ified” the neighborhood. I moved to a suburb in 2009, it’s not HOA thankfully but older people acted like it was. I got cops called on me for my lawn being too tall the week I moved in, like 8 inches and such and they continued to do this often for my grass and my dogs being “too stinky and an eye sore to their view”

I have asthma and can’t use a push mower. I don’t own a riding mower. I can’t mow my lawn timely. I’m also not gonna pay a company to mow here 2x a week. I have a relative mow the front portion of my yard a few times a summer and we call it good. I then rewilded the property so the native plants manage themselves, my backyard is a meadow now. I have lots of trees.

People stopped fussing about the lawn eventually and these old huffy folks eventually moved away. I got chickens, turkeys, quail, rabbits in the meantime. My place is a hobby farm. I planted crops and gardens. My yard isn’t immaculate but it’s okay. I have corn and watermelons growing in my front lawn. 

From then on, a neighbor turned a spare acreage across the street into pasture and got a pair of donkeys. A herd of feral guineas roams the whole neighborhood. I’m the poultry lady here. A guy talked to me about turning his property for pigs recently. Someone on another street turned extra lots they bought into a meadow for their herd of goats right in the middle of the suburb. On the other side of the neighborhood someone has horses in a nice big field. At the road entrance to the neighborhood, the first house you see is another hobby farm of a couple dogs, a 4 wheeler,  some really happy kids and chickens. And their house is really beautiful too.  

All of this because I stopped mowing my lawn regularly when I moved in.  

It’s truly a thing of beauty and the homes are getting more affordable! Because someone in a local fb group complained a few months ago about it “I can’t sell a house here for the highest I want to because of all these places here! This used to be a decent neighborhood!” 

You don’t have to make things downright shitty. You just have to stop mowing your lawn regularly.

The Porn Guy aka The Nice Guy aka The Canadian side of Pornhub aka SFW Pornhub’s REAL NAME is Ryan Creamer. No joke, that is legit his real name.

Also this.

Which led him to this.

Bless this man.

I can appreciate him and the service he’s providing independently of the shitshow that is the platform he’s hosted on.

He remains just as funny and weird on other platforms dw

By the way, the topic he was presenting was

‘Can I get an Honorary Degree if I Just Ask Really Nicely’

i was gonna reply directly to the user but since this is making the rounds again, i want it to be more visible and not in the replies: “holler” is actually a dialectal pronunciation (and word at this point) in appalachian english, which is a legitimate and recognized dialect of english. a lot of the time, “-ow” endings in a word take the “-er” sound, e.g. “holler,” or “winder (window)” i’d say it seems like you’re the one who could do with a little more education on the matter.

by the way, we have plenty of schools, but they are incredibly underfunded, so if you really care about appalachians and education, maybe you could advocate for that instead of being condescending and shitty about things you actually, clearly, know literally nothing about

and since you seem to value education so much, i hope you enjoyed this lesson <3

“I’m gonna get up on my bullshit for a second here. There’s a thing that happens on social media, whenever some - I moved from the west coast to the Midwest for a while, then all the way to the South. There’s a thing that happens any place south of the Mason Dixon line elects somebody bad or passes something bad, is that everybody outside of there rises up and goes, ‘man, fuck those Carolina assholes,’ no matter where it is, ‘man if they vote for this, that’s then end, burn these peoples’ houses to the ground.’

“They all do it, and they’ll argue with you with you about it, right? […]. What was the first state in the union to pass the gay marriage ban? California. But you didn’t hear one person go, ‘man, fuck California!’ No, of course, obviously this was the work of dastardly people, gerrymandering and doing bad shit that happens in every single state of the union. But if it happens to be where a lot of poor people and especially a lot of poor black people live, then ‘fuck that state,’ right?

“And when they do that, they are shoveling - Alabama, South Carolina, the percentage of black people they’re saying ‘fuck you,’ to […] is huge! You’re condemning the working poor when you say ‘fuck Alabama.’ You’re condemning the working poor when you say ‘Fuck Georgia.’ All those places, you take all these people and throw them under the bus to look like a self-righteous liberal, which makes us look how in the big elections? Bad, right?

“So I get really mad, right, I go, ‘you have never been to have never been to Alabama, fuck that,’ and I was thinking about that, and I go, ‘oh I have a song about Alabama!’”

in case you needed to hear it today:

  • it’s okay to use your turn signal when you’re changing lanes
  • it’s okay to use your turn signal when you’re taking an exit
  • it’s okay to use your turn signal when you plan on turning (can even be done sooner than 2 seconds before you’re about to turn)
  • you have a turn signal. in your vehicle. two of them in fact.
  • you are so brave and beautiful and smart and can do it. using your turn signal

The bimbo feminism girls who love Legally Blonde really missed like the whole point of the movie. The point is that she's not a brainless bimbo. She saves the day with her knowledge of haircare, sure, but she got in the room by going to law school. You cannot reduce that movie down to "Girl knowledge saves the day!" because the perm wouldn't have mattered if she hadn't spent the entire rest of the movie working her ass off in an unrelated field. The feminist angle is that she can have girly interests and also be smart, not that having girly interests is feminist in itself

I think it's also worth adding that the main reason Elle is so effective is because she's sweet to everyone and finds ways to connect with people. She's not sitting around judging other women for knowing less about beauty than she does. So if you're making tiktoks about being That Girl or snarking at other girls, you did NOT learn your lesson from Elle Woods.

Oh, we really can't be keeping THAT gem in the tags.
