“And I don’t think anybody should feel bad if they get diagnosed with a mental illness, ’cause it’s just information about you that helps you to know how to take better care of yourself.

“Being bipolar, there’s nothing wrong with it. Being bipolar is like not knowing how to swim. It might be embarrassing to tell people, and it might be hard to take you certain places. But they have arm floaties. And if you just take your arm floaties, you can go wherever the hell you want.

“And I know some of you are like, ‘But Taylor, what if people judge me for taking arm floaties?’ Well, those people don’t care if you live or die, so maybe who cares? Maybe fuck those people a little. I don’t know.”

“why did i start this list” pleaseeeeeee this is so funny

his descriptions were extremely on-point, and frankly inspiring when writing a hurt/comfort scene

Instagram poets could never!

I normally tag these posts “specific ass machines” after a minor meme that blew through Tumblr, but I was tempted to tag this one “specific boob machines”.

(Artist meow25meow seems to have had their Twitter account nuked and I cannot find any other original source to link to.)

THis news is better than gay sex

so this happened to me today

fucked up some bird tried to steal your car like that

He’s not stealing, he’s robin

(Clasping your shoulder gently)

You’re right. And he looks like a real tit doing it too

if you're just joining us, george takei is having to educate jk rowling on holocaust denial

cannot stress enough how insane it's making me that we're witnessing some of the best domestic policy in decades at the same time as the worst foreign policy atrocity since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan

You got a penis problem? Here’s the penis solution

Fuck gender absolutism, it’s a penis revolution

this song has now reached its penis conclusion

hold up what do you mean humans can't tell if something's wet . what

im sorry WHAT

Think about it, what's the first thing you focus on when you touch something wet? Usually it's temperature.

And if something is dripping down your skin you might feel ticklish

But like you've probably touched something cold and thought it was wet for a second before realizing it was dry and your brain just assumed

So you guys can feel wetness based on experience but it's just that your skin isn't specialized to feel that I think

yeah we don’t have sensors for wetness (other creatures do) but we just learn what wetness feels like to make up for it.

you've heard of Shrimp Colors get ready for its unexpected sequel: Shrimp Knows Water Is Wet But We Don't (yes really)

Checks out.

Had an injury on my hand a while back that damaged some nerves in my finger. Took me months to stop thinking my finger had gotten wet whenever I picked up a cold piece of metal cutlery.

My mom sometimes asks me to touch the bedsheets or towels she’s hung to dry because she’s not sure if they’re still wet or just cold.

This is part of why cold blooded animals sometimes feel “slimy”

The lower temperature sometimes feels “wet” to us even when they aren’t

…sometimes though they just actually are wet because they like to do that

…sometimes though they just

actually are wet because

they like to do that

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

ok.

literally just dipped my finger in my coffee to test this is WTF IT'S TRUE????

Yeah it is true. That's why if you leave a shirt hanging in cold weather and bring it inside and wear it, you will not be able to figure out if it's cold or wet. The only practical way to do that is to check for friction by rubbing your fingers together after touching the object. Wetness reduces friction, so if your fingers aren't slipping, then it's just cold, not wet.

just because someone can articulate their point better doesn’t make them right, it makes them articulated. 

and you aren’t stupid for having trouble articulating yourself.

here you are sweetie

You turn on the radio one morning to find another one of those Rap songs where every 4th word is a swear. Naturally the Radio bleeps it out, but you realize that it sounds familiar. You realize that the rappers are speaking in Morse code.
