this was cute until i realized the fish is probably trying to not get eaten

A fish trying not to get eaten wouldn’t slow down when the “predator” slows down. It also wouldn’t constantly swim in a circle near the edge of the tank; It’d try hiding. Also a fish in a tank in a a public place that is constantly filled with people is not likely to see people as predators.

Animals, I think people tend to forget, also enjoy playing.

yeah that fish is absolutely playing with that kid, if it really wanted to escape it would just dive into the reef in the center of the tank!

(Moorish Idols are reef fish and naturally will seek shelter in the nearest nook or cranny if they get scared.)

many people don’t realize this, but fish aren’t stupid animals! most of them are on par with mammals like mice and squirrels in terms of intelligence, and they absolutely do play.

I was at an aquarium a few years ago and decided to sketch a fish. It came up to me.

I decided to flip the book around and pressed it against the glass. Fish lost it

Swam away then came back with MORE FISH

to this day I love those little sketches and I really love how I got the fish to bring me it’s friends

@i-need-glitter are you willing to share your sketches?

HERE IT IS

i think this may just be the greatest string of tweets in the history of mankind

TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST I REMEMBER EVERYTHING BUT READING THESE TWEETS AGAIN AFTER SO MANY MONTHS IT ALMOST FEELS SURREAL LIKE “I CANT BELIEVE THIS PERSON IS ME”

happy 9th anniversary to your dildo fiasco chris grawly!

It’s so crazy how you can measure the shifts in culture based on which race Ariana is pretending to be

Scrolled past this agakn and just can't get over how much I love it. We need to make things beautiful again and this is such a wonderful example. The beadwork on the wires of a utitarian object, contrasted with the grey concrete.

I am havin an existential crisis

I had a Call with my mom this morning. Good things. General blah blah. Jokes. Progress on her mental health.

And then she mentioned that she had gotten an offer for an investment account

And without casualness but also without much seriousness because it was a business decision. She said “I could pull out a million or two million just for the interest rate and let it be and live off the interest.”

Which is terms for “you will inherit this or be the second named on the account so we don’t have to worry about putting it in the will.”

I am foaming at the mouth

PER YEAR

The Pattern Bundle is LIVE!

The 'Cross Stitch for Gaza' bundle contains 63 patterns from 35 artists, and is available to anyone who makes a donation of €15 or more to Hadeel Mikki's GoFundMe page, where she is raising money to help get her family out of Gaza and into safety in Egypt.

Hadeel and her husband and daughters have suffered immensely in the past eighteen months-- they've lost their home, much of their extended family, and, most recently, Hadeel's father.

Their one path to safety is to raise enough money to pay for the crossing into Egypt: for a family of their size, it can cost anywhere from €20,000 to €35,000. It's a formidable amount, but we are committed to do as much as we can to help them-- we're setting our goal at €20,000, and we would love your assistance in helping reach it!

To get the full pattern bundle, head to CrossStitchForGaza.com; you'll be prompted to make a donation to Hadeel's family of €15 or more, after which you can fill out a form on the website to submit a screenshot of your receipt. Once the form is in, one of our volunteers will email you back within 24 hours with your full copy of the bundle!

Thank you so much to the artists and designers who have donated their patterns to this fundraiser-- we have truly been blown away by the response we have received! We'll be posting more pictures here later, but you can also see the full lineup at the Pattern Gallery on our website.

Do NOT give in to despair. Yes, the response isn’t always perfect. But the perfect is the enemy of the good.

People are standing up.

the gen Xer who made this must have felt so beast

Don't forget that this was in the Gilded Age, following an era of rapid industry growth, an economy controlled by a few rich oligarchsn and monopolies, and suppression of organized labor

I love how here on tumblr dot website we regularly cast the greatest curse we can muster on each other by pointing our long creepy fingers and intoning "10,000 notes" in a voice that carries the winds of the mountain with it.

I might have made an error here

@xeansicemane you casted the curse but didn’t have a target so congrats. You played yourself

NOT FUNNY

Held a sample of cloth I recieved from a foreign trader up to a candles flame to verify its material and check its quality, yet instead of burning or melting it remained inert, accepting the heat as iron might, and burned my hand quite badly

Republicans make everything worse.

Medicine prices. Insulin prices. Research.

Cutting Medicare and Medicaid, gutting research, and making medicine more expensive will kill millions. Live expectancy will plummet. Standard of life will plummet.

This is beyond probable. This is predictable.

love to purchase items but at what cost
