why are you microwaving carbonated drinks that feels wrong.

IDK, most people hate it, but I'm also the person that purposely lets coke go flat because I like it better flat so me and carbonated drinks have a weird relationship.

microwaving aluminum specifically is known to cause arching, which can cause fires! (thick aluminum is fine, but thin aluminum like aluminum foil, and I assume the edge of an opened can is Not)

on top of that microwaving liquids can be dangerous as they get hot extremely quickly.

just search "microwave aluminum foil" on YouTube if ur curious lol

Ah. That would explain the popping sound. I assumed that was just my microwave being old. Good to note I shouldn't do that in the future.

Great news everyone. There was a kitten wandering in the drive thru at work and my inner warrior cats kid tried to be a hero and capture him.

I have now suffered multiple puncture wounds and have to go to the emergency room.

Me: I shall become his mother and gain his trust

Me talking to an animal control officer five minutes later: he is a nasty horrid little boy and I am bleeding heavily

Animal control officer on the phone: So he’s in your car with you?

Me: Um. It’s his car now and he’s very mad at me.

Second animal control officer: oh you captured him and got him in your car? He’s friendly?

Me, my right hand completely wrapped in paper towels: wouldn’t say that

Urgent Care Nurse: Wow it’s strange he managed to get you so many times.

Me: I uh. Did not let go.

You vibe as someone prone to toxic relationships

People on tumblr will just say anything huh.

Oh cmon, "he hurt me a lot cause i couldn't let go" absolutely has double interpretation.

Me, holding a cat (of unknown gender) as it repeatedly digs its little teeth deep into my flesh: Is this… too… yuri?

Hey.

Hey guys.

There's enough winners for Six the Musical.

As someone who ran a semi-successful six the musical fan blog and is now obsessed with Life series I feel I have some authority here and my official stance is

Grian- Catherine of Aragon. The oldest winner (not in age but in how long he’s been a winner). Wasn’t even sure there would be a second one until there was.

Scott- Anne Boleyn. Actively defied the rules of the game, went out with a bang.

Martyn- Jane Seymour. Loves loves to play along with the story. Darling of the fandom because he gives us juicy lore. The only one the game truly loves.

Pearl- Katherine Howard. Keeps trying again and again to keep her allies safe but is either betrayed or outlives them. She keeps trusting people and keeps being disappointed or heartbroken.

Cleo- Anne of Cleves. She’s here to have fun. She’s the only winner with no turmoil, no trauma from their game.

Scar- Catherine Parr. The only winner to survive his game.

My only real and valid writing tip is that you google every word you make up for your fantasy stories. That's It

there won't be any results though because you just made it up

As I grow older I feel my capacity to understand that Miss Piggy is not a real person reached a peak in my adolescence and is now on a steady decline. I watched a Wendy Williams interview and there's this part that's like "can we get a ring cam!" and Miss Piggy shows her bling and I'm just like fuck she's so iconic. Miss Piggy who are you wearing? Miss Piggy have you ever considered running for office??

Like literally every time I see Miss Piggy there's a period where I need to readjust to the fact that it's not a person, and I feel that period is getting longer and longer with every instance

now all my Youtube recommendations are filled with Miss Piggy interviews. I’m not complaining. Miss Piggy what’s your secret to ageing so graciously

It's not just the audience; professional journalists, hosts, and actors report it is legitimately difficult to not see the Muppet as a person, and it is, in fact, incredibly easy to interview or act with them once the performer gets properly set up.

Like that one time they couldn't figure out why Kermit's audio was so garbage... then realized they'd put the mic on him instead of the performer.

this has been a very longstanding issue - before the muppet show was even a thing some muppets appeared in commercials, such as rolf the dog they had a continual problem where when people directing/shooting the dogfood commercial would give dirrection to rolf that they would be speaking to the muppet, to which rolf REPEATEDLY had to tell them ‘i cant hear you, you have to talk to him’ and point at the performer underneath him rolf is one of the most embarrassing muppets to need this direction as the performer is this, damn, obvious when not on camera

‘sir, i am a bathroom mat, the man you need to talk to is back there’

I did an interview with Gonzo one time, and when I got into the Zoom call, it was the actor on screen trying to figure out his audio. And then once he did, he went like “OKAY!” and then just like dove to the floor and it was Gonzo and there was never a moment when I doubted that the dude was just Gonzo’s tech guy

kermit the frog was so fucked up for writing the rainbow connection

like??? why ARE there so many songs about rainbows and why do we still wish upon stars and fallen eyelashes and wishbones and birthday candles and dandelion seeds?? we know that rainbows are only illusions, that there isn’t golden treasure waiting for us, so what DO we think we might see?

i guess in its essence this song is about returning to childhood innocence, to faith, to hope and learning to allow ourselves to hope. that hope isn’t childish or naïve, that in a time of instant answers and impending doom, it’s maybe the bravest thing we can do.

Not only all of this, but I've also read it as 'finding other people to have foolish hopes with'. That's a core tenet of the Muppets, that there are strange misfits who don't really belong anywhere- but they belong with one another. In the original Muppet Movie the first version is sung alone by Kermit, in his home swamp. He then spends the film discovering that other people share his dream, and that together they can achieve it.

"All of us under its spell/we know that it's probably magic"

The part that always made me cry as a kid was when all the Muppets sang together at the end, especially the line "Have you been half asleep? / And have you heard voices?/ I've heard them calling my name". Sung alone, it's melancholy and pleading. 'Does anyone feel like I do?'

Sung in chorus, it's answering a call with friends by your side, ready to take on the world. Knowing that you found the lovers, the dreamers, and yourself, so the rainbow connection is sure to follow.

tiktok is such an awful app, it's almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse

No, no, no, you see on tiktok an algorithm feeds you misinformation. On Tumblr I feed myself misinformation from my charcuterie board of hand-selected unhinged mutuals.

None of that mass market junk. Only artisanal, small batch, sustainably cultivated, fair trade horseshit.

If a flaming old queen in a cape wants to kill off racists in power I say have at it

That wasn’t even his plan!! His plan was to make the senator a mutant, so he’d have to advocate for mutants or be destroyed by his own policy, and tbh. It’s the best villain plan I’ve ever seen. The goo was the plan unexpectedly failing. 9/10 only bc he was going to kill Rogue. Next time use someone willing to sacrifice herself for the cause, pls. No further notes

I like how his plan in like real world terms, was to turn desantis gay but instead he exploded

like to charge reblog to cast tbh

btw! I was made aware that many people don't know that we're boycotting Eurovision this year, so.

we are boycotting Eurovision, as per BDS guidelines.

don't watch the stream, don't engage with the videos, don't post it about it on social media using hashtags that are going to trend.
