DEVASTATING the lyric you’ve been mishearing is better than the real one

You guys I just realized that what I’ve always wanted out of werewolf fiction is a story where lycanthropy isn’t a purely human condition
Like this dude wakes up from his wolfbender and his room is full of all these fucking chickens from local farms that he initiated into his pack. They all start clucking and crowing at the moon and when it’s full they all transform into these tiny little weird bipedal wolves with wings.
I don’t remember making this post but it’s going around again and I’m losing my shit
Imagine becoming a werewolf because you got attacked by a fucked up chicken
A wildlife rehab centre discovers that one of its patients is a lycanthrope when the full moon hits and their wolf transforms into a slightly different wolf.

Hello, crab fans. Wow, you have been having a busy time! On July 29, also known as Crabs Day, you took to TumblrMart to give the gift of crabs to your pals. And boy, did we notice—not just all the great crab memes and trending posts on the day but also the burst in sales which made up a substantial financial boost to the running costs at Tumblr. And it truly took our breath away.
We got so excited we went back to the drawing board and designed some crab checkmarks, which we teased by dressing your regular checkmarks up as crabs on the day. On August 1, we launched a regular little crab checkmark and a rainbow crab checkmark for gifting and treating yourselves.
Here are some stats from Crabs Day:
You gifted 8k crabs that day. That’s an almost 20k% increase in crab sales.
We saw a more than 7k% increase in total Tumblrmart sales.
All this money goes straight back into running costs—such as a month’s worth of power costs for Tumblr application servers. That’s all you! You’re doing that! You’re keeping Tumblr around with your generosity toward your friends. Crabs be thanking ye ❤
the bed making poll is such a funny way to discover that this is in fact my mundane hill that i will violently die on
here is my bed making propaganda:
especially if you have a small bedroom it is one action that will immediately make your room look 3x as tidy with comparatively little effort. you can have shit all over your desk, bedside table, etc but as soon as you pull your sheets up and put your pillows back in the right place you will successfully trick your brain into thinking you have a moderately tidy room
getting into a made bed just feels nice. especially if you’ve just showered. doubly so if you’ve just put a ton of lotion on (and shaved your legs if that’s something you do)
if you are somebody who struggles with getting/staying out of bed during the day it can help delineate “bed time” and “awake time” because it makes your bed “off limits” in a way (but there’s also nothing actually stopping you getting back in bed if you really want/need to; it’s primarily a psychological trick)
on that note i also find it’s a nice little reset – if you leave the house and come back to the bed the exact same way it was when you were tired, depressed, demotivated etc. in the morning it can drag you back into that mindset whereas coming back to a made bed? you left yourself a little present! everything is tidy and fresh!
finally and most importantly if you have a lot of stuffed animals you get to arrange them in a little tableau and craft elaborate narratives about who’s sitting with who and why

#on the object level‚ this largely does not apply to me #because my bedroom is *so* small that I have a loft bed #so it’s not super visible how well-made it is when you’re not in it #(also I bring one of my blankets down to my computer couch during the day) #((it’s cozy and I can keep the heat turned down lower in the winter)) #(but one could have a dedicated couch blanket: Mom does) #on the meta level‚ I wholeheartedly agree that having Neatly Kept Surfaces in view is *extremely* psychologically important #I am always surprised just how much better I feel after vacuuming‚ or wiping down the kitchen counter #and this post has inspired me to pick up the ground floor #–(the groceries have finished their quarantine and now need to be filed away)– #and set Rosie the Robovac loose on it #domesticity #tag rambles #this probably deserves some warning tag but I am not sure what
Thinking about getting an air purifier. Given that half of my followers are huge nerds living in various wildfire-smoke-affected cities, it occurs to me that you might have opinions on this topic.
What should I get?
Come on, surely one of you owns one of these. Save me the work of reading a bunch of reviews online.
Build a cube of MIRV 13+ filters and a box fan. Much cheaper than a freestanding air purifier.
Alternatively, if (like me) you live somewhere where high-grade furnace filters are very expensive, go to IKEA and get some air purifiers from them.
The Förnuftig has a carbon filter and is wall-mountable, but (at least in Canada) you have to go to an IKEA store in person to get one and it’s over an hour’s drive away, so instead I got some Uppåtvinds which they’ll ship to you. They’re 50 CAD upfront and they take $6.50/year in electricity (at a weighted-average time-of-use cost of 9.27 cents per kWh) and $10/year in particle filters, vs my previous air purifier’s maintenance costs of $41.41 and ~$35 respectively. (Sure, the old one had a higher CADR, but only 23% higher: I could buy *two* of the smaller IKEA ones and still come out ahead on cost fairly quickly.)

I’ve seen my share of illusions getting brighter
I’ve seen how even the fighters turn to fliers
And I had been so certain I was safe
Assuming my DNA wouldn’t dare relate
But there’s some ways that a life wears down the stoic
Delights to ask what you know before you know it
One day I dared to inquire what happens next
And found the answer was bubbling in my chest
Oh oh no
Please let me
Please let me go
Oh oh
I need to
I need to know
Oh oh
There’s nothing waiting down the road
To send me tumbling alone
In the undertow
How can I say I’m afraid of the fall
When there’s nothing falling
Dead silence screaming at me from these walls
And it leaves me stalling
The cold light of the moon
Inviting me to assume
There’s a lot I simply can’t do
How can I say I’m afraid of the call
When there’s no one calling
Churning, vortexing the sense of any future
My ship is sinking as I try not to lose her
I hope that I get to feel awake again
It would be dreamlike
Oh oh no
Please let me
Please let me go
Oh oh
I need to
I need to know
Oh oh
There’s nothing I need take alone
There’s nothing to what I’ve been shown
Through the dark window
How can I say I’m afraid of the fall
When there’s nothing falling
Dead silence screaming at me from these walls
And it leaves me stalling
The cold light of the moon
Inviting me to assume
There’s a lot I simply can’t do
How can I say I’m afraid of the call
When there’s no one calling
I hope that I get to feel awake again
It would be dreamlike
If nothing’s calling

So I go to the dentist and the appointment I had was not the appointment that I thought I was going to have (normal maintenance vs deep clean) so i warned the dentist “hey heads up I burn through dental anesthetics super quick and also I’d like to use as little as possible because putting the dental anesthetics in my body is the most painful part of the process unless I’m having a root canal or something” and she’s like “Hmm. Okay. Is it just the injection site?” and I was like “no, it will feel like burning on the opposite side of my face and in my nose and eyes and stuff.” And she was like “Hmm. Do you turn really red when this happens?” And I was like “I don’t know, I can’t really see myself when it happens.” And she was like “are you willing to experiment with this a little?” And I was like “sure, no worries” and she injected me with one anesthetic and it hurt like a motherfucker and she and the assistant both went “OOOH” and she was like “Yeah you got really red right away let’s try the other,” and it was the same thing and then she was like “okay I think this is the one that will work” and it hurt a little bit but it was fucking NOTHING compared to the comprehensive full stabbing burning facial pain from the others and long story short the dentist was like “You’re reacting to the epinephrine in these other anesthetics,” which I guess is fairly common for people who have autoimmune disorders.
So I guess this is to say: If you get spreading, burning, stabbing pain when you are being injected with local anesthetics it’s not supposed to do that and you should say something.
