"Self insert characters are cringe"

Bro I'm trying to survive capitalism with maladaptive daydreaming. Leave me alone.

Writing a self insert helped me unpack more trauma than twenty years of therapy. Do it.

Weaponized incompetence my ass just weaponize it back. Once my dad tries to pull the “but I don’t know how to clean the counters as well as you” on my mom and she said “ok honey I’ll show you” and she made him stand in the kitchen and watch her clean the counters. Then she pulled out a bottle of chocolate syrup and proceeded to spray the entire kitchen in chocolate, hand him the sponge and said “okay now it’s your turn”

GOD I just want to be CREATIVE but all my energy is being used to survive

this is one of those "you put it into words" kind of posts. right on.

anyway did i ever tell you guys about how I owe my life to an enderman when playing minecraft

i didn't even know that this was possible but I had to say thank you looking at the damn ground

Aren’t you glad covid didn’t happen in 2005 like all the scene kids would be calling the new variant the omnomnomicron with a cartoon dinosaur or something

I made you a vaccine but I eated it

@six-of-ravens

that one definitely deserves elevation from the tags

i cannot stress enough how you should consume and interact with more than just popular media and culture. and this isnt me saying "read some classics and watch obscure movies made in the 60s" i mean this as in read nonfiction! read articles about things youve never thought about! watch documentaries and educational shows and read up on the history of weaving or how trade systems worked in the 9th century byzantine empire and look into philosophical questions from cultures you're not a part of!

branch outside of your interests and comfort zone because not only will this widen your worldview, it also improves the way you conceptualize things and will help you think critically about whats happening in ur life and the media u consume normally. also, you might learn some fun things for trivia night :)

How much money did judas sell out Jesus’ ass for though

Jesus of Nazareth when Judas sells him out for thirty pieces of silver which is worth $370 dollars in current money.

you know how most of the things humans use as spices are poisonous or repellent to most other mammals? and you know how anything vaguely d&d inspired has dwarves being way more poison resistant than even humans?

dwarf cuisine shouldn’t be bland, it should be unimaginably spicy and potentially harmful or fatal to humans. like green potato and rhubarb leaf salad with a festive garnish of yew berries and deadly nightshade berries, that kind of thing.

Concept: humans think it’s bland cuz rather than memorizing what kills humans it’s safer to just pass on the spices.

#‘should we add salt? everyone eats salt right?’#‘no that’s a rock there’s no way humans eat rocks

Humans casting “protection from poison” before eating dwarven food like those lactose pills you can take to drink milkshakes

she’s doing god’s work

He’s right and he should say it.

I feel like it’s worth bringing up that in 2005, RTD introduced Captain Jack, a heroic, complex bisexual character in to his high profile revival of a beloved family show and had him kiss the male and female deuteragonists.

This was only 2 years after the repeal of Section 28 in England and Wales banning the “promotion of homosexuality” in 2003.

He’s absoloutely right.

vegans make peace with honey

no shut up do it

vegans will pretend not to hear when natives tell them their agave products are unsustainable because they have whimsical feelings about, and i cannot stress this enough, the freedom of hive insects

Honey is literally murder but go off

Prove it.

They literally puke their guts up to make your honey

I have not seen any evidence tonsugges they are harmed or die in the process of production. They do regurgitate the nectar as part of the process to concentrate it into honey (an interesting process) but they do not suffer any injury during this process. If they did, the cost to produce honey, which is done naturally as a measure to survive over winter and through times of lower availability, would outweigh the benefits. If you kill several bees to produce enough honey to make one more bee, It makes no sense. Any animal that did that would die, even with human intervention.

Do you have any sources which suggest otherwise? I’d be interested to hear of this (relatively publicly available) information was false or misunderstood.

Bee farmers use whats called a honey maker. It’s a crude devices. It similar to a meat grinder. They force the bees in and grind them up. What comes out is a paste. That paste is later filtered into what we know as honey

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever read

@zoologicallyobsessed please show us pics of your bee grinder

they might be falsely thinking about a honey extractor machine. but all these do is you place the beehive frames inside and a motor rotates it at a speed that removes the honey, which is then tapped through a tap at the bottom. 

…do they think they put bees in that and spin them around until they vomit…?

bee carnival

bad and naughty bees get put into the b e e c e n t r i f u g e to extract their honey

Vegans coming after beekeepers is one of my major teeth grinding annoyances. For many reasons, because there’s so many lies. And to go one step further because it’s such a waste. You see, the strongest vegan argument is that they don’t want to exploit animals or take from them without their consent.

… but… Bees consent. NO. I’M NOT KIDDING.

How? Bee hives aren’t kept on leashes. They’re outside, the bees can travel miles every day. They follow their queen. Who is also outside, not on a leash, and can travel miles every day. If she doesn’t like the hive for any reason - for example: it got too hot, too cold, too messy, too filled with sugary stuff and they need more space… then the queen leaves. And with her the hive.

The queen stays in the hive because the hive is the best place to live. Period. Done. End of. If the hive is staying with the beekeeper it’s because the keeper is doing their job correctly and keeping them happy because the bees can, and do, leave bad beekeepers.

Of all the animals we have domesticated as livestock, bees are the ones you can most easily argue are consenting participants in their keeping.

bees will straight up leave if the conditions with the beekeeper are worse than conditions in the wild

Dec 4: Remember that time we learned Clark Kent totally peeked at all his Christmas presents with his X-Ray vision? (Justice League, “Comfort and Joy”)

Because Clark is awesome and loves christmas.

remember that time we learned clark kent is a grown man who still believes santa exists

He’s an alien and a superhero who knows other superheros in a world with a talking telepathic Gorilla, ofc he believes, anything is game.

Thats because Father Christmas/Santa Claus totally DOES exist in the DC universe, and  every year, without fail, Santa fights through Apokolips’ defenses just to give a lump of coal to Darkseid.

One of my least favorite mental illness things is "hungry but dont feel like eating" and its companions "hungry but all the food in the house is Illegal," "hungry but can't make anything," and "hungry, want to eat, but why bother"

Also the adhd friend “hungry but unaware of hunger because current activity is too captivating”

"Hungry but I'll get to it later"

“Definite not hungry, nope, but upon forcing oneself to eat something, discovering that the food vanished in 30 seconds and the pervasive feelings of ickiness all vanished, what the fuck"

Hungry but only for one specific food. I do not know what that food is but i do know i don't have it in the house
