I currently have some grade A+ Long Covid Brain fog and thought you were talking about US Men's Soccer Legend Tim Howard, and I was prepared to throw hands.
But now, you are correct here, carry on.
hysterectomy feels like it would clear up a lot of space for storage. if i get them to yank that sucker out can i put a beer fridge or maybe a ps2 in there
You would think so, but honestly, the uterus is a small fucker until you shove a baby in it. Then it does this.
After I yeeted mine and all the assorted peripherals, I maybe had room for a gas station sized bag of gummy bears.

He did her right

One of the hottest controversy of the month
I’ve seen this post a bunch and never once did I consider a scenario where it wasn’t about a woman.
official lesbian post
literally who is doing it like gritty, icône de l'extrême gauche américaine?
A Vulcan named Stork works at the Terran adoption agency. Parents always request that he be the one to deliver their child to them.
It’s years before anyone explains it to him.
People keep gifting him robes with long white birds on them.
The fun thing is he would understand why people were getting him outfits with storks on them. That’s a word, it’s his name, straightforward. All the humans get him the same gag gift, but like, they’re putting effort in at least. This is a genuinely nice outfit. Stork will be a walking zero-effort pun sometimes, rather than waste a perfectly fine robe.
It’s fine. This is a readily comprehensible human illogic. Exactly the kind of thing he expected from moving to Earth.
Six years in he finds out about the stork bringing babies.
Stork has a good long meditation session about this myth, his name, his job, the outfits, the whole shebang (or whatever Vulcan concept is the equivalent).
And he decides he’s honored by it, in a humanly illogical way.
The humans are asking him to do what is after all his job, and specifically requesting him for the joy his name brings them on top of an already agreeable and satisfying task. He has no objection to engendering positive emotions in others. Harm hastens the heat-death of the universe, Surak teaches, so happiness must logically slow it down.
Plus, Vulcans of his generation love puns. There were two decades of punning competitions in colleges across the planet. So when he realizes that he is a walking zero-effort pun, and that the humans also love the pun, he is all for it. He is the Joe Cool of the entire Vulcan population in his city.
And via this pun, the humans are including him in a cherished and traditional myth, by casting him as the literal bringer of life and the expander of families.
There’s no downside. Stork wears his robes, pins, keychains, and other bird-related tchotchkes with genuine pride.
YES IT’S BACK ON MY DASH AT LAST
For real though working together with some human social workers, a Vulcan would be an excellent caretaker for children in an adoption center.
Child has a meltdown? Imagine Stork, perfectly calm and unbothered, approaching the kid and saying “You appear quite upset, Eliza. If you would please allow me to relocate you to the ‘bean-bag-chair,’ we can discuss the source of your distress.”
A Vulcan educated in medicine and child psychology would be endlessly patient with a kid with behavioral issues. Stork wouldn’t get or upset or frustrated. After all, these are children with medical and psychological conditions. It would be illogical to blame the child or to not treat them with the appropriate care.
Even if the a little one was having a bad day or was just overtired, Stork wouldn’t get angry. He might even be a calming presence. Any new kids acting out would learn real quick that they’d have better luck trying to arm-wrestle a Klingon than get a rise out of Stork.
Not only that, Vulcans live much longer than humans. Imagine Stork looking virtually unchanged as decades pass. Kids he’d helped years ago would turn up fully grown, maybe there to adopt their own kids, and run into Stork, looking almost exactly as they remember him.
And he’d probably remember them too. “Welcome back, Eliza.”
“…Harm hastens the heat-death of the universe, Surak teaches, so logically happiness must slow it down…”
Will reblog every time it crosses my dash 🖖🏾
If you’re LGBT reblog and tag with your opinion on beer.
to let AO3 volunteers know that you appreciate them. Leave some love in the notes, and I'll pass it along ❤️
If you didn't hear, Substack is now officially a Nazi site. Officially as in "the CEO has said they wouldn't ban Nazis, and that they are welcome to monetize their content on Substack". I think this is the first time a major web platform has openly say they are ok with making money out of open Nazis and white nationalists.
Substack CEO reasoning is "we don't like nazis, but we defend their right to be nazis". But, of course, at the same time, substack bans sex workers from using their platform.
So yeah, if you have a Substack account, maybe it's time to move somewhere else. As they say, if there's a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.

PSA: James Somerton silently reactivated his patreon.
If you were ever a patreon and missed your chance remove your membership, now is the time.
It's a pretty scummy move tbh considering a lot of people probably thought their membership automatically got removed.
Hi Ghesties! This is a friendly reminder for all you new folks that Tumblr is a website meant for reblogging. Having an empty profile and collecting likes does nothing for fic authors, digital/traditional artists, gifmakers etc.
Additionally, your blog is supposed to have content on it! "Cringe culture" does not exist on this hellsite (trust me, I know).
So please give some love to fandom creators. This also helps them with commissions and funding for certain projects, livelihoods, or extra income needed.
These Nonprofits Are Creating a Solar Punk Future for South Seattle
The garden started out primarily as a project for the school’s science class, but over the past eight years, as Koerker and her crew of volunteers have expanded the garden bit by bit to take advantage of the full 2 acres, Shark Garden has grown deep roots in the neighborhood and has become a lush community garden that donates over 2,000 pounds of culturally relevant produce to the White Center Food Bank every year. The school’s science class still has its own plot in the garden, and the attendance rates of students who participate in the garden improves dramatically, Koerker said, but the garden has grown well beyond that.
While all this is exciting on its own, what separates Shark Garden from other urban farms and gardens in the Seattle area, like Yes Farm or the Beacon Food Forest, are the 5 kilowatts of solar panels installed on the roof of a storage container set on the back half of the garden. The solar panels feed power to a battery bank installed in the container below them to create a microgrid that can power the farm without needing to draw energy from Seattle City Light or any other utility in the area.
Last year, the Black-led nonprofit Key Tech Labs collaborated with the local, Black-owned solar company Sphere Solar Energy to get the solar microgrid installed at the garden. “Key Tech Labs’ mission is to bring emerging technology to underprivileged areas to help create self-sustaining communities,” said Adam Powers, the organization’s co-founder.
In Burien, the microgrid is already actively powering an outdoor kitchenette that Shark Garden uses to host cooking classes for community members, and some of the power even goes to run FarmBot, a robotic arm that seeds, weeds, and waters a small planter inside a greenhouse. In August 2022, the Shark Garden’s solar system also helped power the first annual Burien Solar Punk Festival, organized by Key Tech Labs.
“Solar punk is a concept of technology, people, culture, and environment working together harmoniously,” Powers said, and he organized the festival to show the community what that looks like. The festival brought nearly 200 community members to Shark Garden, along with a variety of local, BIPOC-led companies and organizations that are working to advance sustainability and climate action around the city in a way that centers Black and Brown communities.
And with solar panels installed alongside meandering trails trapezing past garden beds full of fruits and vegetables, solar panels that powered music, a VR booth, and a machine that pulled water out of the air, the festival took the solar punk concept and made it real. All together, the festival offered access to technologies and introduced career pathways to people and communities so often cut off from these opportunities.
