No, Mr. Horse, don’t worry, I certainly don’t have a Plinko down here! What I do have is this lovely cask of wine, specifically for horses, Amontillado in fact! Exquisite vintage.
I know you’re not supposed to be in this hospital, but if you’ll just follow me down this corridor—no, that’s not blood on the floor, it’s color theory, I’ll explain it later—I can bring you to this cask of wine that is certainly NOT a plinko machine—
I'm telling you, Blorbo, I have the finest copy of my shows in the basement, please follow me
we can take the Eeby Deeby - no, no, I promise it's not going to Gay Superhell - look, Eebders Deebeorg was an outlier adn should not have been counted
Where did I get this Eeby Deeby? Well, there was this lovely Middle Eastern gentleman who was selling copper, the finest copper—
hnnnnngg I’m trying to get blorbo into my plinko but the eeby deeby I bought from the copper merchant who as it turns out was EXTREMELY disreputable (who is he, to treat me with such contempt?!) is dummy thicc, thicc enough to block the Suez Canal in fact, and the eebert of the deebert is so scrimblo bimblo it keeps alerting the horse
yoU PLINKO BLORBO?! you plinko blorbo like the HORSE?! Oh, Eeby Deeby for Glup Shitto! Eeby Deeby for Glub Shitto for 1000 YEARS
“Eeby Deeby” is, in this case, putting an orange buttered cat face-first into a trashcan
my name is blorb and when its nite and eeby deeby castiel's flight poe and wine cause discourse
i'm ever given; i plink the horse
Hey you know that post about Tumblr being incomprehensible to outside audiences?
I fully admit that I have no idea what I’m talking about most of the time.
This user would not survive in Australia.
As an Australian who usually doesn't know what they are talking about, OP would survive just fine. After all, my friends and I have been getting along just fine for decades, and some of them work in academia.
just curious as they're always things i've never questioned just doing but people in my life are often surprised that i don't mind doing them alone
🔁 pls reblog for sample size
hey you do know that neurodivergent doesnt only mean autism and adhd right. like it includes ocd and anxiety and depression and even cluster b disorders. you know that right.
fuck it homebrew boop button. reblog this post to boop the person you reblogged from.
Alright!
I'm so excited that the never been to Australia tab is currently under 80%!
Amazed that we've got nobody who's been to all 8 states and territories. I've personally only missed WA, but for a lot of people it's NT.
If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽
this seems self-centered you know “stereotypical American bs” but I’m curious
Multiple people have said VIBES and my brain is actually melting.
Sort? I think they were sorted, once, hardbacks on the hardbacks shelves, science fiction and fantasy separated from Litra-chure because the shelves fit better that way, paperbacks of similar size, then grouped roughly by author and series in order. Now, after living in our house for ehhh 17 years or so anything that gets taken off the shelf ends up in one of The Stacks Of Books and those are taller than me now. Weirdly, I haven't read a paper book in a couple years because eyes no worky so well and ebooks and audiobooks are more accessible for me. Hubby still reads paper books though.
Feel free to add what kind of book, whether it was a novella or a tome in the comments/tags. I'm curious as I've only ever done it twice, many years ago.
My mom is a pharmacist and got 16 out of 30. SHE’S SO MAD.
HAH! I got 18. Barely. But I think one I got wrong by accident (like the screen was still loading when I pressed the answer but still, 18 isn’t bad?)
They say you die three times, first when the body dies, second, when your body enters the grave, and third, when your name is spoken for the last time. You were a normal person in life, but hundreds of years later, you still haven’t had your “third” death. You decide to find out why.
You sold some shitty copper, man, I don’t know what to tell you
Reminder from someone with actual literal brain damage from a brain injury to stop fucking using "brain damage" and "brain injuries" as a means of describing someone whose opinions you don't like or deem as stupid.
It's ableist and offensive as fuck, and for some reason a lot of leftist people think it's okay to use. I've seen posts replying to right wing racists calling them "brain damaged if you believe this" and "do you have a brain injury? do you not understand X?". Just now I saw a beautiful post about fat people throughout history that was absolutely ruined by opening with "How do we break it to boomers with actual brain damage and nostalgic brainrot, and the 'tradwife' thirsting Andrew Tate fans..." before continuing to say that fat people existed throughout history.
Brain damage does not make you racist. A brain injury doesn't make you stupid, or fatphobic, or unaware of history and politics. Stop fucking using my disability as a catch all to describe people you think are shitty. Y'all use it like it's a replacement for how people used to use the R-slur, which shows you learned absolutely nothing about why the R-slur was wrong to use and decided to throw in other disabilities instead. Fuck off and stop doing it.
(And don't do it with other disabilities either, because I know y'all do.)
I know a lot of people with brain injuries. They're smart, and funny, and compassionate. They learn about the world and care about social issues and wish they could go to protests if their disability won't allow them to. Are there right wing people with brain injuries? Sure, absolutely. But they are not right wing because they have a brain injury, and using any disability as an insult is still fucking ableist.
Tldr - stop using brain damage and brain injury as an insult. It's ableist and incredibly offensive.
Love, your local brain injured/brain damaged pal
Honestly, once you start removing ableist and sanist language from your vocabulary, it opens up a whole new awareness of just how despised those groups are. Disability justice — and especially IDD justice — is a huge missing piece from most leftists’ politics, but I promise, things will make a lot more sense once you incorporate it
my favorite out of context quotes from my archeology professor so far in no particular order
- and floridians are just as human as you and me!
- and the moral of the story is that there are no deadly snakes native to alaska
- you might know this guy as one of the only archaeologists cool enough to be mentioned by indiana jones
- it’s my dream to have my name said by harrison ford
- i’m not going to apologize for having this class at 6am because you paid for it and it’s your fault.
- we don’t all dress like lara croft. i tried to get it to be a thing on a dig and my colleagues yelled at me.
- they were pretty good archaeologists except they were too racist to realize anything they found.
- i take back what i said about us not dressing like lara croft because lewis binford here is wearing nothing but short shorts and a cowboy hat. take notes for an academic halloween costume!
- archaeologists can be good artists! not me, though. or anyone i know. but if you can draw just know you have options.
- sometimes you find dead bodies when you dont really expect it and you just have to deal with it
- archaeologists are the only people allowed to get exited when they find corpses.
- once i ruined thanksgiving dinner when i told my family i had gotten my degree in archaeology and my uncle commented he liked dinosaurs too
- the closest i’ve ever been to a grizzly bear is when i left my glasses in my tent on a dig in alaska, saw a big rock in the distance, and almost screamed
additional quotes
- ah yes. archaeologists. or, as i love to call us, pottery analysts
- i mean he was kind of a good guy for helping us beat britain but he owned slaves so that really cancelled it out.
- archaeology is like cultural anthropology, except after you interview the person you turn around and shoot them in the head.
- do not use trees! trees are bad! don’t do it!
- usually you find shards, but it’s super exciting when you find a really big shard
- it’s basically like a waterpark, except you’re fully clothed and walking through a dark tunnel knee deep in muddy water. so, basically splish splash.
- i dont believe in curses but my colleagues and i like to encourage the idea of them so people stop touching our stuff
- usually, you would find a knife in a kitchen. or underneath your pillow to really freak out your roommate who is a history nerd and has no idea why you would sleep with a knife under your pillow and he’ll get really scared and freaked out and okay i’m getting off topic
- no matter what the other scientists say, archaeology is a real science.
- don’t worry, i promise you, and whatever government agency that’s spying on me right now, that i’m not a crazy communist trying to overthrow the government
- by now you’ve noticed the big “POP QUIZ” written on the board. there isn’t one, but i wanted to see the looks on your face when you saw it. but you’re all dead inside so it’s not really funny.
- everything was fine except the citizens of pompeii just woke up dead the next day
- the number one question you should ask when you read old archaeology papers is “how the hell do you know?”
- nothing pisses off old men more than young people asking “why” and “prove it” so do that as often as possible
- this is incredible! all it takes is a computer the size of this room!
even more from the margins of my notebook!
- when in doubt, it’s ritualistic
- coprolites are the only shit archaeologists get excited over
- i know the only reason you’re not laughing at my hilarious jokes is because it’s early
- they called it the garbage project. which is also what people call the projects i work on when we apply for funding.
- what you have to realize is that people are fundamentally weird. they do weird stuff now and they have done it thousands of years ago.
- things come and go but pottery is forever
- i dont know if you all know this but moose are terrifying abominations.
- and today’s lesson is about the difference between dirt and soil!
- please, please, please do not eat old butter you found buried in a bog.
- normally i would say this blackboard is a feature because it isn’t portable and can’t be moved but this is a community college so who knows
one of my biggest fears is that this will get so many notes that someone in the class will see it and show it to the professor and he’ll realize half the notes ive been taking in class are jotting down the weird shit he says
I want this teacher.
I'm gonna miss the boopening. You may have been here only for a day and half, but you brought the joy of many many MANY boops to completely random strangers, watchers and mutuals. God speed you adorable chaotic kitty paws.
