Dear reader I ask you, in honor of Tom Lehrer's birthday: What are good flavors for jello shots?

Black cherry

Trans Texas flag for all your Trans Texas needs

y'all means all, bay-bee I'm no longer here but I am from here and very, very queer

Linda is the ultimate ride or die. There's nothing she won't do for her family. She- wait.

Oh my GOD.

Add the Belchers to that list of people who should meet the Addams family. Please.

Bob would be so unsettled, but enjoy Gomez's enthusiasm. Linda and Morticia would adore each other. Tina and Wednesday would underemote at each other. Gene is like Pugsley with more enthusiasm. Louise would probably develop a rivalry with Thing.

There's a long and storied history between the Addamses and Mr. Fischoeder.

Well fuck now I have to spec script this

if shes your girl then why have i slowly been replacing her parts until there’s nothing left of her original body? is she then still your girl?

They ship of theseus’d my girl

Can’t have shit in Detroit

this actually perfectly demonstrates the transitive property of memes: you can replace a meme piece by piece until it only structurally resembles the original, and it is, in fact, the same meme.

call that the meme of theseus thesis

tumblrites can have a little intertextuality as a treat

my naym is ship and when i’m broke the broken part from me they toke

replace the part had been the plan but in the morn hand door car man

*me shoving transitive properties into my purse* sorry, I have to go

We owe the reddit refugees an apology for making them see posts like this

no we don’t this shit is enrichment in their new enclosure

*slaps roof of Tumblr* This baby can fit so many rare vintages, you just have to go deep enough, there are some great memes in the cellar, come see

Everybody driving a car thinks they're the main character of the car. This is an ideologically bourgeois attitude. You know who doesn't ever feel like the main character of the vehicle they're in? Literally everyone on the bus. You're on the fucking bus. And the bus driver doesn't feel like the main character of the bus because she's at fucking work. The bus is the most ideologically proletarian form of transport.

this is a completely insane, and totally correct, analysis

One of my hobbies when translating is coming up with deeply stupid adjectives to represent whatever noun this guy has decided to whack an adjectival ending onto. Today: swordly. Adverb form: swordishly.

German.

I have so many questions

In the name of everything decent in this world, you have got to turn the sound on.

I oil painted your puppy I hope thats ok. Happy simply dont monday

Image descriptions:

1: A photo of a nervous-looking wolf curled up in the snow, with several layers of overlayed and scribbled out meme text over it ultimately reading “I DON’T WANT TO I dont want to”.

2: a photo of the same wolf, curled up tightly.

3. An oil painting recreation of the first image, including the text.

I did a charcoal of them too btw they just really resonate with me. you know.

This might be the funniest reply I’ve ever seen in my life

I AM WHEEZING

PLEASE STOP REBLOGGING THIS OMFG

Destroying the magnetic tapes is likely nefarious & not stupid but you do see people go "it runs on technology from 30 years ago!" all the time without ever asking if there's, like, a reason. An industry using computers that are eight years old is in "maybe they're too cheap to upgrade" territory. An industry universally using computers from the 1980s is in "oh they know what they're doing" territory

speaking as a trained information professional, literally I have a degree and years of experience in digital archives and digital record preservation and access: there is no such thing as a "permanent digital record," and LTO tape, which I will bet you the cost of my upcoming surgery is what they're calling "magnetic tape" in this instance is the industry standard preservation, storage, and access medium for high-dependency low-access digital records, ie backups and archival data. LTO-4 is like a decade old. All the files stored on those tapes were digital to start with, saved in tape libraries and accessible via machine interface. What they did was schlep all that sideways to a goddamned aws instance, which no matter what they want to tell you about glacier is neither as secure nor as reliable as a tape library you control, and costs about twice as much as the initial outlay of an LTO set-up much less the maintenance.

"Wah nobody wants to dom anymore" Have you tried treating doms like people who you respect instead of pleasure dispensers?

“Wah nobody wants to dom anymore” have you tried actually engaging and being an active participant with your dom instead of replying with exclusively keysmashes and expecting them to do all the work?

“Wah nobody wants to dom anymore” have you created an environment where your dom feels safe expressing desire, especially when that desire is sadistic? have you established a system of communication that protects BOTH of you?

I saw someone posting something along the lines of "wow are all tops avoidant or what, I keep ending up with these doms who are just fully non-confrontational outside of a scene is it just that I attract them or what" and the replies were all people piling on with shit like "well anyone who needs to take that role is already standoffish" and "being a bottom is so vulnerable and open, like you're literally letting them put something in you, I just think topping lets you keep that distance and they bring it with them" And my stone pitcher/domm-leaning switch self is staring in horror. Like, give me the numbers of all your former partners so I can text them and tell them you're not their fault. It had never occurred to any of those people that the top/dom/me had an interior life of any kind. Never crossed their little minds that topping requires energy and vulnerability of its own. Never imagined that being tasked and trusted to be the Decider, the Big Scary Situation-Controller, the Desire Provider and Withholder etc, might cause a person to back way the hell off of any confrontation or conflict outside of a scripted or delineated scene. First because it's exhausting to be in charge all the time, and second because of the fear of appearing controlling, aggressive, a bully, someone who has to get their way about everything. A dick, basically.

These people do not deserve a new top or dom until they learn what they've been doing wrong with their previous ones-- ie, not treating them like a person, not trying to understand their perspective, not meeting them when they're being vulnerable-- and demonstrate growth in the other direction.

i think the catcher should be allowed to make out with the pitcher during the mound visit. as long as they want. this would be good for morale, ratings, and the game of baseball itself
