WHO tf keeping pads with no wings in production?? Put it in your draws and by the time you walk out the bathroom it’s down the street buying scratch offs at the corner store. Like girl

sorry i cant hang out i forgot how to mimic human like behaviour

It's okay if it takes a little longer than you thought.

The irony in that we were taught to never use Wikipedia for correct or factual information and instead should be used as a tool or starting point for research.

But now that every Google search is filled with ai trash and paid advertisements, and not for results you're actually searching for; Wikipedia is one of the only places to go to get a semblance of information that might be real and not ai garbage lol

oh my favorite trope? two people who go through something so unique and agonizing and entirely beyond words that they have no choice but to create a bond that transcends all other types of love, thus acting as the sole point of understanding for the other person in a world that cannot fathom what they’ve been through

My boyfriend was showing me his cat and I leaned over to kiss the cat on his soft little baby head and he went "meow" and scrambled away because I'd been wearing my headphones and I accidentally jabbed him with the microphone.

And I said "Damn, this is exactly like in the Iliad"

#explanation: this references the scene where Hektor the prince of troy goes to his wife after a battle and leans in to kiss his son #(who is still a baby and being held in andromache's arms) #but his son cringes away in fear of his father's battle helmet #it's a gut wrenching scene about how war dehumanizes you and separates you from the people you love #this interpretation implies that being a gamer is analogous

i know we're all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don't think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i'd share my favorite self-care hand out

brought to you by how mad i just got at a Target ad

OP this is EXCELLENT

Now THAT’S a self care resource! If you’ve gotten distracted by capitalism’s appropriation of “self-care” and watering the meaning down to nothing this is a super helpful guide to cut through the bullshit.

If you're in the U.S. and want to support local plants and pollinators, I hope you've heard of the Xerces Society. Weird name, but super cool resource for gardening for insect pollinators (and they work for other invertebrate species, too)

They've got regional native plant lists:

They've also got super helpful things in their resources section, including Washington's plan for helping bumble bees:

Another really cool resource is the National Wildlife Federation's list of key stone plant species by ecoregion:

The organization is named after the Xerces blue butterfly, or Glaucopsyche xerces. It went extinct in the 1940′s because it’s larval host plant could not thrive in human disturbed soils.

The Xerces Society exists to help prevent the extinction of as many North American invertebrates as possible. Not many people know this but organizations like this actually have to sue to get species added to the endangered species list so they can be protected. Recently, they just got the western bumblebee added. They also fought to make sure that California recognizes insects as being worthy of protection under endangered species acts. I support them monthly and encourage anyone who can to do the same.

Begging you to put the sound on

Can't quite cope with how much this looks like me and my dad

It begins

i honestly don’t know how this happened but somewhere between my childhood and formative years i forgot how to exist like a normal person and started to either overthink everything or make disastrous choices without any proper thinking at all. no middle ground whatsoever

By far the funniest transition timelines are the ones from trans men where the "before" picture is some teeny little guy with sad baby seal eyes and the "after" picture looks like Kratos

This is one of the top posts in r/transtimelines and it really sums up what I'm talking about

My irl saw this post and sent me this even crazier transformation today! The little guy to Kratos pipeline is real!!!
