Have you ever looked closely at a car windshield?

The edge of the glass is painted where it is glued to the car but it has these small dots between the clear and painted glass.

These are there for a reason. When the sun hits the glass the painted areas and the clear areas will absorb heat at different rates. This causes the glass to expand and contract differently putting stress on the glass.

These dots help the glass to warm up more evenly over a larger area so the glass does not suffer stress that could cause it to spontaneously explode.

Fun fact: the Tesla cybertruck doesn’t have these.

Yes, the glass will spontaneously crack or explode in the sun.

do y'all remember when they found all that tf art in Osamu Tezuka's drawer post-mortem because I think about it often

anyway keep chasing your bliss and draw weird shit, god knows we need that right now

Here’s a video so you can hear the water and the thrushes. I took it for you because you couldn’t be there. <3

Sharing this again for anyone who could use a few seconds of peace and light today for whatever reason.

not very new hyperfixation rediscovered write a poem abt it

There's something about the Kirby plush in the background that really sells this

I don’t try to meditate anymore because once I realized that it can’t actually turn me into a water bender my brain stopped letting me do it.

When I was 14 some niche website on the third page of Google convinced me that if I meditate hard enough I could channel my qi energy into making water obey my commands and during that time I got so good at meditating. I could just let my thoughts and earthly worries pass for hours, unbothered.

Then one day I was like “wait a minute qi energy isn’t real” and then I lost the ability to meditate

This was also during a phase in my life where I was so deeply in denial about being transgender that I convinced myself that me secretly being a vampire without knowing it was more likely.

Like I’d already figured out two years earlier that I was trans but at this point I was like no I’m not queer I just need to achieve enlightenment so I can be a water bending vampire empath. This seems much more likely.

Being 14 is weird I’m glad I don’t have to do that anymore

oh i'm going to misusle and straight up fuckle this knowledge so badly

"maybe it's not your pussy" is such a funny phrase and also correct. People wonder why chores are so hard and it's like, friends we used to have a whole intergenerational team on this and now Grandma is locked in a beige box. Cooking is hard.

Reblog the problem is capitalism and not your pussy

they’re opening up a new sister store in a different province and they asked me to do some email correspondence with my joint health and safety counterpart out there to help him get set up and run the team, but they warned me before hand that he was “notoriously difficult” so i was absolutely dreading this thinking “shit, he’s gonna be one of those guys who thinks taking direction is an insult to his masculinity and he’s gonna be rude and suck”

but it turns out he’s just really autistic and needs super clear direction + he writes his emails like a 1911 telegram. i LOVE this guy. i’ve never worked with someone who wrote so clearly and in such detail, and absorbs everything i say. plus whenever he gets an email he responds immediately with “received. response to follow. thank you.” top 10 coworkers of all time. top 5 even.

„Difficult“ the man is literally the only son of a bitch on the planet communicating fucking properly

everytime I remember that lesbian couple that have a marble statue of the two of them embracing and sleeping on a bed together over where their graves will be because the artists didn’t believe they would be able to be married before they died, so what they couldn’t have in life they could have in death, I fucking breakdown

memorial to a marriage; patricia cronin

For those curious:

Here’s the real-life couple in 2019 💖

happy 20th anniversary (nov 3, 2002) to patricia cronin’s marble sculpture that furthered art, advocacy, and lesbian breakdowns everywhere
