Whenever I see a tumblr medical advice post go around I wonder how you guys managed to invent left wing ivermectin
Do you guys remember when tumblr learned about that one study that found that amphetamine-based ADHD medication didn’t get fully absorbed if you took vitamin C supplements within an hour of taking your meds because they interacted in your stomach, and this website went around banging pots and pans together screaming that if you’re mentally ill at all that eating an orange would kill you
I miss when everyone on my dash listened to Welcome to Night Vale so there’s be a good chance that on any ole day someone would reblog a quote that would grab me by the throat and forcibly ascend me to a higher plane where I understood myself and the universe better and with more kindness but also a little spook
“The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first and settles in as the gentle present” are you kidding me this quote has propelled me through at least three emotional crises
“The desert seems vast, even endless. And yet scientists tell us that somewhere, even now, there is snow.” That quote literally got me through grieving my brother like WTNV goes HARD
A List of Some of My Favorite Quotes From This Insane Podcast:
“You are beautiful when you do beautiful things.”
“The present tense of regret is indecision.”
“We understand so much, but the sky behind those lights– mostly void, partially stars– that sky reminds us we don’t understand even more.”
“Be proud of your place in the Cosmos. It is small and yet it is.”
“Believe in yourself. You are an ancient, absent god, discussed only rarely by literary scholars. So if you don’t believe, no one will.”
“Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you.”
“Whisper a dangerous secret to someone you care about. Now they have the power to destroy you, but they won’t. That’s what love is.”
“Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But that’s not the right question. The question is are we living a life that is worth the harm?”
“When we talk about teenagers, we adults often talk with an air of scorn, of expectation for disappointment. And this can make people who are presently teenagers feel very defensive. But what everyone should understand is that none of us are talking to the teenagers that exist now, but talking back to the teenager we ourselves once were – all stupid mistakes and lack of fear, and bodies that hadn’t yet begun to slump into a lasting nothing. Any teenager who exists now is incidental to the potent mix of nostalgia and shame with which we speak to our younger selves.”
“We are not history yet. We are happening now. How miraculous is that?”
“Wednesday has been cancelled due to a scheduling error.”
“We have nothing to fear except ourselves. We are unholy, awful people.”
“A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? A basilisk.”
“There’s nothing under your bed. There’s nothing in your closet. Nothing waits in every darkness. Nothing is the most terrifying thing of all.”
“The night sky is ten miles wide, eight miles deep, and floats three miles up. Its favourite food is grape jelly. It wants to be a drummer.”
“Look to the sky. You will not find answers there, but you will certainly see what everyone is screaming about.”
“Ignorance might not actually be bliss, but it is certainly less work.”
“And now, a special report. Crocodiles: Can they eat your children? *YES.*”
“Lie down and look up at the ceiling and breathe with those curiously fragile lungs of yours and remind yourself: Don’t worry. Don’t worry. All is as it was meant to be. It was meant to be lonely and terrifying and unfair and fleeting. Don’t worry.”
“As long as I’m reminding myself things, I’m a good person, worthy of love – both from myself and others.”
“Guns don’t kill people! It’s impossible to be killed by a gun. We are all invincible to bullets and it’s a miracle!”
“Everything is exciting! Particularly existence. Existence is the most thrilling fact of all.”
“There is a monster under your bed. A monster at your window. A monster any place you imagine one. You project your monsters on the world.”
“You miss 100% of the bank robberies you don’t commit.”
“I like my coffee like I like my nights. Dark, endless, and impossible to sleep through. ”
“A friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep. Welcome to Night Vale.”
“And now, the weather.”
I discovered this podcast at the beginning of high school, and let me tell you, it rewired my synapses.
Not only was it my first experience with positive LGBT representation, it was the show I clung to when everything else went to shit. Whatever was going on in my life, I knew I had this show in my corner, making me laugh, making me cry, making me feel okay about my place in the universe.
I owe the creators of this podcast more than I could express.
“the lights over the Arby’s” is such an intrinsically queer piece of writing that it hits me *hard* every time.
“We will never be the same again. But here’s a little secret for you: no one is ever the same thing again after anything. You are never the same twice, and much of your unhappiness comes from trying to pretend that you are. Accept that you are different each day, and do so joyfully, recognizing it for the gift it is. Work within the desires and goals of the person you are currently, until you aren’t that person anymore, and everything changes once again.” (from Episode 75)
“The universe is vast. You are also vast. So is an ant. There are different sizes of infinity.”
the emotion i just experienced is kind of indescribable
the funniest part of this post to me is that the reblog:like ratio is nearly 1:1. nobody’s just liking everyone who sees this video goes yeah i gotta inflict it on as many people as possible
Oh hey, another dipshit went to The Island Where They Kill You.
This one’s not a missionary, apparently (I know, I was surprised too) but apparently a “danger tourist” who was filming himself.
Frankly I think he should go to forever prison, because he could have killed them all by exposing them to diseases they have no immunity to. Which is WHY IT’S ILLEGAL TO GO THERE.
LINES ARE ON THERE BAYBEEEEEEE OUGH GOD MY FUCKIN WRIST
(i kinda wanna scan this through as is for colouring page purposes lol. might do so after cleaning up the pencil)
hopefully i made the silly little details quite clear but:
there’s a devil’s tail coming out of the ‘angel’ ’s gown as they tempt you with takeout treats
tried to emphasize the roundness of the delivery driver helmet with the aureole behind
it will hopefully be clearer upon colouring it in but the cornucopia is supposed to be made out of thermal delivery bag material. it’s why there’s a lid and a zipper
( will not be making this one a print but I’ve asked for permissions from the commissioner/OP of the post to make it into a pay what you want coloring page, waiting for that)
I GOT PERMS FOR MAKING THIS A COLOURING PAGE!
I’m still doing digital cleanup on the file itself, but for the moment know that I will shortly be able to provide yall with a link to a pay-what-you-want item on the kofi shop, since etsy doesn’t allow PWYW stuff
o7 thank you for commissioning and giving perms, @theriverbeyond i have the ko-fi link for the colouring page here!
in plaintext in case links are busted again: ko-fi.com/s/f3a26404bb
it’s pay what you want for it with a 0 dollar minimum so you can get it for free or however much you’d like to toss me for the sheet!
ah i’ve been prompted to remind folks that the pay what you can amount is set with CANADIAN currency – whatever you think a silly il colouring page you think is worth, adjust accordingly since, for example, canadian dollars are worth like seventy american cents
quick reminder that everything russia’s doing to ukraine isn’t new. there were 170 governmental bans on ukrainian language in the last 150 years. most of ukrainian writers from the basic school literature curriculum were murdered or oppressed for speaking out for ukraine. an average person doesn’t have to know executed renaissance or slovo house or the ems ukaz or forced russification or literally hundreds of similar precedents, but please do note that this all was a thing long before putin
Russia has this weird confederate-esque sense of entitlement to determining the fates of Eastern European peoples, like it believes living under the Russian boot is their natural and normal condition. Poles, Balts, Ukrainians, Romanians, etc.
This is why seemingly every incarnation of the Russian state has found its own justification for its oppression of the same peoples, regardless of its self declared ideology. The Russian Empire oppressed them to bring them Russian civilization. The Soviet Union oppressed them to free the working class and fight the capitalists. The Russian Federation oppresses them because they’re actually just confused Russians.
It’s a deep, ingrained racism going back hundreds of years. And it’s disgusting to see how so many on this site defend it.
