Head full, many thoughts

Proud of this uncle.

me: hey how long is this thing going to last

someone: haha you just want to know when you’re off the hook

me: hah

me: (actually i just need to allocate the right expectations and backlog of energy and make sure the rest of my day falls in good accordance with it so that i don’t feel time-crunched and propel myself into a hysteria because if i don’t know how long this thing lasts or when it ends i can’t possibly know when literally anything else starts and my entire life becomes an unraveled realm of anarchy with no rhyme or reason and how is that not terrifying to you)

me: hey how long will this take

someone: oh like twenty minutes

me: ok

*an hour later*

me: *clinging to every learned social skill i can think of with the desperate hope my distress and exhaustion doesn’t show*

someone: hey we’re almost done don’t be so crabby

me: *smiling* *internally screaming at this SENSELESS CHAOS*

someone: hey do you want to do [involving time-consuming thing]

me: hey that sounds fun! when were you thinking?

someone: oh we’re doing it right now

me: oh. like. now-now? like right now. like you want me to stop what i’m doing and get up and do this thing with you, suddenly, with thirty seconds of warning. now. like this second. immediately. now?

this feeling is so real

I know this pain

This post is staring into my soul. I feel seen.

they got that they/them þussy

reblog this you cowards

In the subversive masterpiece Avengers: Endgame (2019), directors Anthony and Joe Russo made the bold artistic choice to film scenes with a camera, which is why you can see things on the screen.

this is how marvel fans talk about the movies

i never really thought about it as a kid but as an adult it’s so so funny that the second most politically powerful person on the planet is 14 years old and yet somehow her every order doesn’t lead to complete humiliating failure

fire nation captain: if we try and dock in these conditions there’s a very high chance our boat will be torn to smithereens and we’ll die of either drowning, blunt force trauma by being smashed against rocks, or being picked apart by barracuda-squids

azula:

not to sound like a protestant but the one bad joke all generations have in common is the normalization of alcohol dependency 

like i’m NOT about to start romanticize temperance i’m not against casual drinking or even getting absolutely blasted every once and a while…..but from forty somethings who meme about having to drink a whole bottle of wine to deal with their spouses to people my age who say “i can’t socialize without being at least a little buzzed” like that’s normal…it’s definitely….something to think about 

What wine specialist wrote that article about how often she gets asked “What’s the best wine to drink when I’m sad?”

Her answer: “None, you dullard! Wine is a joyful thing. Don’t drink because you’re sad.”

see now this i like!!

the types of media i like can be placed in one of two categories:

type 1: oh my god this thing is amazing, i love it, i could go on hours long rants about how well executed it was. it has its faults but overall it's excellent.

type 2: i didn't say it was good, i said i liked it

i learned that in August 2014 Women’s Voices for the Earth commissioned testing of four types of Always menstrual pads, manufactured by Procter & Gamble. The certified laboratory STAT Analysis Corporation analyzed the products for volatile organic compound.

“The results of the testing indicate that both scented and unscented Always pads emit toxic chemicals, including chemicals identified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Toxicology Program, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and the State of California Environmental Protection Agency as carcinogens, and reproductive and developmental toxins. None of these chemicals are disclosed on the product by the manufacturer.” (x)

the world do be hating women

wow i wonder if that 300 year gap could be explained by any outside factors…….whoa! for some reason it lines up with the timeline of britain’s invasion and subsequent colonization of ireland! wild, huh? i wonder if the two are connected in some way? i guess the world will never know….

“why do the Irish hate the English so much? It couldn’t have been *that* bad!!”

This was in place till 1973.

Seeing non irish people reblogging this makes me happy

I knew about the special powers act, But I didn’t realize it was in place until 1973. I had always just figured it was overturned like, before electricity, not like after the birth of my father. In that context the troubles become a bit easier to understand
