holy shit a photo my dad took in our kitchen has resurfaced on my tumblr dash o_o
SO, THE BACKSTORY: Mom works at a grocery store, and they had a crazy good deal on lobsters one day (an overstock IIRC), so mom got two bargain lobsters for dad to cook up for dinner. But dad, as a wacky nature photographer on deviantArt, decided to have some fun. He removed the elastic bands from the lobsters, armed them with butter knives, and set them on the kitchen floor in a BATTLE TO THE DEATH. Then took photos and posted the best one for internet fame points. No Photoshop was used!
However, dad doesn’t understand the modern internet meme, and would appreciate being credited for his work.
Goddamn management company can't bare the idea of a single month without profit they're booking viewings for our apartment before we've even packed our stuff well I hope you guys can keep a straight face showing a potential future tenant around our wall of furry art you fucks
They cancelled 9 minutes before the viewing. Pussies.
Love the concept of coincidentally making your living spaces untourable for shitty landlords.
Is this like the furry equivalent of shooting off a few guns now and then in order to keep the property values low?
My apartment is a cognitohazard to the well adjusted it's like the ethical cousin of hostile architecture

The positives of ‘putting yourself out there’ are worth it. Having a great conversation with a stranger will be worth the awkwardness of starting that exact conversation. Joining a small community of people you will see regularly is worth having to get through a scary first day. Getting your dream job is worth the scariness of chasing it. Don’t pick and choose experiences based on the level of ease now, but choose them based on how you want to come out of them.
Mr. Gannondorf, would you mind telling me that it's ok to ask for an autism diagnosis? (If not feel free to completely ignore)
Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
MOON LANDING DAY IS THURSDAY!
HAPPY MOON DAY EVERYONE!!! 🌙
I’m sorry friends, but “just google it” is no longer viable advice. What are we even telling people to do anymore, go try to google useful info and the first three pages are just ads for products that might be the exact opposite of what the person is trying to find but The Algorithm thinks the words are related enough? And if it’s not ads it’s just sponsored websites filled with listicles, just pages and pages of “TOP FIFTEEN [thing you googled] IMAGINED AS DISNEY PRINCESSES” like… what are we even doing anymore, google? I can no longer use you as shorthand for people doing real and actual helpful research on their own.

Also, P.S.: Please stop using Google, and start using more privacy focused search engines, like DuckDuckGo or SearchX (opensource; personally haven’t used it yet, but it looks promising for privacy-focused users)
That Google and Meta can get away with this during an era of intense misinformation and disinformation signals that we cannot rely on large tech companies to provide reliable access to information and news:
