hermey the elf was transgender

female elves:

  • blond hair and small noses

male elves:

  • no hair and big noses

hermey:

  • blond hair and small nose
  • is a trans man

you can be a different gender than the one you were assigned at birth but may god forgive you if you want to be a dentist

“No daughter of mine will become a dentist!”

“I’m trans actually”

“No son of mine will become a dentist!”

Friend A: "I just realized that this is about attention economy and the new prevalence of attention overwhelm and my mind is blown a little bit."

Friend E: "I saw another meme that compared texting to leaving a card with a request or other message on it with the butler, so the person you wanted to talk to can get back to you later once they're done with whatever they are doing. It makes sense. And isn't that why answering machines and voice-mail were invented? So you could leave your message with a virtual butler?"

Once answering machines became widespread, certain people would call when they knew you weren’t home because they wanted to leave a message on a non-urgent matter and let you take your time to respond. Other people would only call when they knew you were home because they felt entitled to demand your time on any little thing

There were plenty of articles and talk show segments in the 90s with people complaining about people using their answering machines to screen calls while they were home. The complainers didn’t care if they were calling in the middle of dinner, they claimed you were the rude one for not answering the phone

The complaint is basically the same, they’ve just updated it for newer technology

If I was to kick myself into redesigning my ancient link without a care for how annoying it would be consistently redraw the design I’d make this goof more skyward sword sheikah/ancient tech inspired. If he wasn’t a blacksmith/farmhand I’d probably have gone more over the top with clashing patterns and layered fabrics cuz that’s just link for u. Anyway the aesthetic is: practical clutter bich

Are you trapped on tumblr right now?

Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Consider this your save point.

Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.

Things people in the notes have been able to do thanks to this post:

  • eat breakfast
  • go to bed
  • get out of bed
  • take a shower
  • write
  • practice
  • watch Superman Returns and write a paper on it
  • retain shreds of sanity

I need y’all to know that you’re doing amazing, and I’m so glad that I was able to help you break out of a procrastination loop you did not want to be stuck in.

hey a local town actually did this!

they planted berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, herbs, all sorts. they label each plant and the sign said "free to take, leave some for others to enjoy!"

and people did. they took a bit, but left some for others.

it also fed the homeless people living around there.

bearing in mind this is a tourist town, so i half expected to see the plants gone. but nope, there's always some left.

people aren't naturally selfish, and they will share. the initiative works

And honestly? Most people who don't need it won't bother to stop and pick fruit. It's only people who actually need it who will devote the time. People with money still have grocery stores.

I was talking to someone about planting food and fruit trees in public spaces and they were like “Why so everyone can steal the food?”

And I was like “See, that’s the problem right there. Why should taking food off a public tree be stealing?”

I used to ride one of those in the IG Farben building in Frankfurt AM when I was a young enlisted.  It was great fun.
