SOME VERY GOOD NEWS

Yes, very good news!

But the headline is a little misleading, as by "Investors" they really mean the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, a NFP based in Denver that has been doing good things for decades.

The investment here is in people, not a profit-making pyramid scheme that rich assholes buy into then cash out later for $profit$.

Also, all of this happened in early 2020, as COVID terror was first stirring in the US. Good timing.

Anyway, found the article.

Multiple people have said VIBES and my brain is actually melting.

I'm so confused that "by subject" isn't one of the basic choices.

You know, you have your shelf of gay books, your shelf of Jewish books, your shelf of gay Jewish books, your shelf of art books, your shelf of Scion RPG books, your shelf of Chronicles of Darkness RPG books, your shelf of the RPG books you wrote on or backed on Kickstarter but never play because you only play CofD and Scion, your shelf of comics trades, your shelf of gay comics, and miscellaneous.

Exactly what I was saying! Subject/genre is, I thought, one of the main ways of doing it???

I'm just so proud of everyone who has actually gotten their books up on shelves instead of rifling through the boxes I thought I put those books in when I moved house. Last year.

unfortunately no eclipse photography can ever outdo the waffle house one from 2017

i don't even know who took this pic. the only person who claims to know the photographer was this person who uploaded it to reddit without naming them. it just adds to the mystery of it

@angstyastro recently pointed out that you can cast “speak with the dead” on Haarlep’s corpse and ask if Raphael was a top or bottom and Haarlep basically intones he was a lazy bottom

And I just think it’s so funny you can even ask that as one of your limited five talking corpse questions

I made the first page so long ago but hey, I finished.

Part two

also! Prada has blue sweats.

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

Including OP’s tags cuz I think the “I’m no longer a slave to the algorithm gods” is ESSENTIAL context

Au where Goncharov and Andrey survive everything, grow old together and sit on a street all day somewhere in the south of Europe

This is my favorite Goncharov post so far because:

1. The concept of an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE for a movie that DOESN'T EXIST is sending me into another dimension.

2. Despite appearing nonsensical, we of course are living in a world where the established Canon of Goncharov is that they do not survive everything and grow old together.

3. Of fucking course Tumblr would imagine a movie with two characters with intense homoerotic subtext, kill them violently with their love unfulfilled, and THEN create AU FAN ART WHERE THE LOVE IS FULFILLED.

And all of it fucking slaps I love this so much

It’s been two years since the great gatsby entered the public domain and Netflix hasn’t even made a horrible miniseries adaptation where they are all hot and gay and racially diverse but in a totally hollow meaningless unsexy way. We used to live in society

First of all, lower your fucking voice. What if they hear you?

YES YES I NEED THIS SIGN IN EVERY SINGLE PARK PLEASE

This is my daily struggle, I had so many arguments with people with off-leash dogs (in a mandatory leash area!!!). Thanks to this behavior I'm struggling with Kim being anxious/aggressive with other females as she often gets involved in unpleased interactions with free females while on leash. And every single time that I ask for the dog to be at least recalled, I'm being called names and insulted of course.

Also 9 out of 10 their dog isn't really that friendly at all.

One of the most life-changing things I ever learned came from Mythbusters, where they tested and proved (with cognitive testing puzzles and reaction time tests) that lying down and resting with the intention to sleep STILL provided significant mental benefits over just staying awake, even if a person couldn’t fall asleep in the amount of time they had. 

It helps me to actually sleep to know that just lying down with my eyes closed is still doing me some good, and helps me to not freak out/beat myself up when I stay up later than intended. Any amount of rest is better than no rest!

So if you didn’t know that…now you do

do you know that i think of this post every time i can’t sleep op. what mythbusters did for you, you have done for a great many others. 

why would I camp somewhere named Hole Where You'll Freeze To Death

Yeah I'm going on a camping trip to the Hole Where You'll Freeze to Death. No I won't be back soon.

If people are curious about what the video title means, I watched it some time ago, and it's actually pretty important info to know if you're going camping/backpacking: heat rises, and cold sinks, so the lowest point of the terrain can become much colder than the surrounding area, especially at night. If the temperature in these low-points drops farther than the temperatures your camping gear is rated for, you can definitely freeze to death.

"Don't sleep in holes" seems like a pretty obvious statement to make a video about. But it isn't talking about what we normally think of when we're asked to describe a hole in the ground. The video is talking about low-lying meadows or depressions, often in cold mountains like the Alps, that are free of trees and large plants. They seem like good flat ground to camp on. And to compound the problem, maybe some poor sucker tried to build a now-abandoned log cabin or shack right in the middle of one that you may be tempted to sleep in, like the one in the thumbnail. But the reason the meadow is free and clear of trees, is because even pine trees, which grow in high altitudes and low temperatures, can't survive the temperature difference. The downhill slope of the terrain collects the freezing air like water in a bowl, and with nowhere for it to go, it may become even colder than temperatures recorded at much higher elevations in the same area. And you'll be right there in the middle of it, because it looked very nice in the daylight. Now? Not so much.

So don't sleep in holes. Best case scenario is that you'll have a very chilly night's sleep and a lousy morning. Worst case is that you won't wake up in the morning at all.

(My memory and explanation isn't perfect, watch the video itself in case I got important stuff wrong. The creator also lists his sources in the video description if you wanted to check those out.)

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you, please don't take my man

Your sword is long, your lance is keen, your shining helm afar is seen

But into darkness fell your star, Jolene

Long ago you went away, and where thou dwellest none can say,

In Mordor where the shadows are, Jolene.

The last whose realm was fair and free between the mountains and the sea

Gil-galad was an Elven king, Jolene
