call me a guy who just caught a fish that's too small and abides by the local fishing regulations on minimum size limit

the way i throw it back.

everyone loves Predynastic Egyptian Terracotta Bowl with Human Feet. shout-out to a real one

It looks like it would be so excited to run over when you needed a bowl

1930s “i’m the guy that” pinbacks, part 2

so when straight people ask me why I say I’m “queer” or “gay” instead of sharing my actual identity as a panromantic demisexual non-binary sapphic queer I just tell them “ok look, when you’re talking to someone who isn’t local and they ask you where you’re from and you either say the name of the largest city nearby or ‘town name, suburb of large nearby city’ so they can get some geographical context of where you’re located right, bc they’re probably not going to know the name of the little town you actually live in.”

but if you’re talking to a local you can say the name of your actual town bc they have a greater chance of knowing where/what that is.

ok well when I’m talking to a straight person I start with queer bc chances are they aren’t as familiar with the context of all the little towns in that big queer city and need gps (gay positioning system) to find me.

if I’m talking to another queer person and I say I live in a suburb of gay city in a town called panromantic on the demisexual side of the tracks which is in the county of queer and I live off the intersection of non-binary and sapphic, they’d probably be able to find me with little to no problems, make sense?

Fun fact! Saint Valentine was beheaded, and here is a photo of his supposed skull! (which is kept in a reliquary in rome because catholics are freaky that way)

I can never ever leave this website actually

Mr. Valentine wishing you a very happy valentines day from beyond the grave publicly displayed golden reliquary

in the tags i asked for skull-themed valentines cards and BOY HOWDY DID YA’LL DELIVER

fantastic job on the lovely art and atrocious puns, everybody!

My favorite quote from any movie critic ever is from Roger Ebert, who once said “The Borg Queen looks like no notion of sexy I have ever heard of, but inspires me to keep an open mind”

i thought this was a joke, but. uh. nope.

Do people in other countries memorize things with a red transparent plastic sheet or is this Asian or East Asian thing? Or even something unique to my country??? I never see it coming on English-speaking internets so I assume people don’t do this in North America and Europe

I searched up and it seems like it’s unique to my country

For real ?? ??? ?????

I’m pretty sure I’d be stuck in middle school if I didn’t know this technique. This might be the biggest cultural shock in last 5 years

I supposed that at least fellow East Asians are doing this but there’s no info besides the ones introducing stuffs from my country

I know you guys have no clue what I’m talking about. Sorry. I’ll explain this to you tomorrow.

This is bugging me now and I can’t sleep so I’m elaborating now. It’s 4AM so please excuse the grammars and stuff

I thought this could be useful for somebody, but a person told me they don’t sell the sheet there. So just listen

Also if you’ve used the technique in the school please tell me where are you from.

So you prepare your notebooks. The point is to write the stuff you want to memorize in orange

And you prepare a red, transparent sheet. I haven’t got one with me so I’m editing the image but you know what I mean by the picture. Imagine the sheet is on the notebook.

And then you hide the orange letters with the sheet. And go “hmm what was the Czech word for even though?”

You slide the sheet down to check the answer. And continue. “Now what was the Czech word for even though/even if?”

“Oh it’s i když”. Then continue. If you want to, draw an ! next to the word you can’t memorize. Or something like that.

You want to memorize something printed?

Then highlight the word with a dark green pen

And the sheet. Now who was the dude who held the Slavic Congress of 1848?

Oh it’s Palacký (btw yes, they teach you about him if you’re in an advanced class)

I suppose this is especially handy in our education system where kids are forced to memorize tons of facts

You may not be able to adopt this style even if you find useful because it seems like they don’t sell the seat overseas. I’m aware of it.

Idk where this post was going so I’m ending this post. Bye

It’s especially handy when you want to memorize certain parts of a sentence and only that part

Or maps. Dude the MAPS

Also speaking of redsheetified maps can you take a look at a creation by 18yo me. It’s Colonial Africa

Oh that's fucking awesome.

no more sex. we ran out of sex

The community guideline violation pic is arguably more funny than whatever the original response to “check in the back” for more sex was.

Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.

Well that’s not so crazy I mean how much could–

OH

inflation calculators aren’t always a reliable measure of the historical buying power of a certain amount of money, so this could be an overshoot. but it was A Lot of Money certainly

Post corrections/clarifications are my favorite genre of humor: a compilation

Today is a big day on the Spanish internet. Valentine's day in Spanish is "día de San Valentín", which sounds almost the same as "Sam va lentín", which is how, in some parts of Spain , you would say "Sam goes slowly".

Hence, since a few years ago, every February 14th, the Spanish internet is full of "wait for me mr. Frodo" style memes. One of our holiest days of the year.

oh and the post would probably make more sense if I actually shared any meme right?

You can't even picture how many variations of the meme people post today. It's all very silly and I love it.

What if he's bisexual?

I still would want him to date me

did he really fall victim to the alt right pipeline or was he already insufferable and just looking for ways to justify his behavior
