Whenever there’s massive California fires I get reminded of precisely how many of my online friends live in one very small strip of land in one corner of the planet and like, that can’t be sustainable, I have a friend monoculture they’re all vulnerable to a virulent infection called being on fire.
There’s something inherently hilarious about taking one of those indie puzzle-platformers that’s intended to be a contemplative exploration of personal identity or mental illness or what have you and speed-running it.
The Game: Throughout this area, your repeated failures as you make incremental progress toward a symbolic goal will come to illustrate–
put in the tags your opinions on wearing shoes in the house and why
Tags:
#in my own house: nothing against it unless the shoes are in quarantine‚ but I normally don’t #in other people’s houses: I’m not willing to die on this hill so I go along with the taking-your-shoes-off norm #but I would rather keep them on #taking off one’s shoes is an expression of vulnerability #(partly Touching Their Floor and partly Making It More Difficult to Leave Abruptly) #and it’s frankly presumptuous that everybody and their brother demands it of me #this is *your* space‚ not mine‚ and the fact is that I will not be as comfortable here as I would at home #what next? #are you going to expect me to eat your finger foods without hand sanitiser? #groom my face?? #take off my utility belt??? #we play this game of pretending to trust each other #but I don’t trust your house and I don’t trust you #you want my trust‚ fucking earn it #tag rambles #is the blue I see the same as the blue you see #illness mention
Ok am I, stupid or do a fair portion of the lyrics to Kiss From A Rose just not make any sense at all
Why do your eyes get “larger” when it snows. What the fuck is a gray. Seal. Seal I am talking to you. Seal.
this is hilarious actually.

#music #anything that makes me laugh this much deserves a reblog #(it is) #”Kiss From a Rose” seems like it was designed specifically to be half-heard on store background radios #it’s much less good if you’re actually paying close attention #rather like ”Magic Carpet Ride” that way
me every night when I sit in the dark stabbing my charger into my phone until I find the socket: don’t think of that post,don’t think of that post—
Evry damn time, but then I also remember the cure:
“Samuel Vimes dreamed about Clues. He had a jaundiced view of Clues. He instinctively distrusted them. They got in the way. And he distrusted the kind of person who’d take one look at another man and say in a lordly voice to his companion, “Ah, my dear sir, I can tell you nothing except that he is a left-handed stonemason who has spent some years in the merchant navy and has recently fallen on hard times,” and then unroll a lot of supercilious commentary about calluses and stance and the state of a man’s boots, when exactly the same comments could apply to a man who was wearing his old clothes because he’d been doing a spot of home bricklaying for a new barbecue pit, and had been tattooed once when he was drunk and seventeen* and in fact got seasick on a wet pavement. What arrogance! What an insult to the rich and chaotic variety of the human experience!”
― Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay
Every once in a while a post comes back to smack me in the face all over again with how goddamn wonderful Sir Pratchett really was

#anything that makes me laugh this much deserves a reblog #(why *not* think about that post though?) #BBC Sherlock #Discworld #(you know on reflection I don’t think I was even thinking of *that* post per se) #(I was thinking of the ”y’all ever mess up putting your phone charger in your phone completely sober just to flex on sherlock holmes” one)
i love this because it’s such a simple concept but it answers things i didn’t even know how to ask
Looking out of people’s windows is such a peaceful way of travelling… I got a snowfall in Argentina, a nice sea view in Ukraine, a clothes line in the fog in Bangalore. Antonella from Tavernaro, I like your wooden bird.
