just a reminder to my new followers that if were ever able to cross the explanatory gap and share our color perception qualia with each other, proving finally that we all do see colors differently, my red is real as shit and youve been seeing crap fake red. so come to terms with your shit fake red while it lasts
I love that I have this little creature in my house and all she does is walk around looking for a new place to take a nap and stare out the window and throw up on my floor and I’m like I would Die for this creature. she is perfect. and I tell her I love her and in return she has no thoughts whatsoever
I love her so much look at her she’s so cute okay
thank you everyone for loving my beautiful baby girl I told her she was famous on the internet and she just stared at me as her single brain cell bounced around her peanut brain
Mr president we have reason to suspect their is a masquito in the oval office
Reading guide
“Mr president” = me
“The oval office” = my room
“Their”, “masquito” = errors for comedic effect
Behind the scenes
This post was inspired by the Mosquito Bite that appeared at or around 1:30 AM on my right elbow. As of 1:39 AM, the culprit remains at large. Some say a faint buzzing can still be heard
"birds aren't dinosaurs" ❌ wrong, misinformed, way too common
"all vertebrates evolved from fish, and are therefore technically fish" ✅ mischievous, technically true if you look at it from the right angle, demonstrates how cladistics work
"whales are fish but not for the reason you might think" 😈 this is funny to me specifically
best lesson college taught me was during a group discussion when i went on a tangent complaining about something i’d seen (don’t even remember what it was) and the teacher stopped me to say “it sounds like you’re arguing with someone who isn’t here.” it was a little embarrassing in the moment but even then it was way more eye opening than it was upsetting. like, just stop making posts arguing with people who cannot hear you and are not listening. even if thousands of people agree with you and you feel vindicated, you haven’t fixed anything, you’ve just given your frustrations to a lot of other people to hold onto. and that person you’re mad at still isn’t here, and they’re still not listening
Coincidentally, The Veatles (Vulcan Beatles) also have a song called ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’. It is, however, much more filthy than the 20th century Earth song.
I’m sorry friends, but “just google it” is no longer viable advice. What are we even telling people to do anymore, go try to google useful info and the first three pages are just ads for products that might be the exact opposite of what the person is trying to find but The Algorithm thinks the words are related enough? And if it’s not ads it’s just sponsored websites filled with listicles, just pages and pages of “TOP FIFTEEN [thing you googled] IMAGINED AS DISNEY PRINCESSES” like… what are we even doing anymore, google? I can no longer use you as shorthand for people doing real and actual helpful research on their own.
– https://search.marginalia.nu/ Search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and promotes websites that aren’t usually at the top of the list.
– https://www.worldcat.org/ Search engine for items in libraries (books, but also maps, articles, sound recordings, theses, etc.)
– https://scholar.google.com/ Search engine for scientific papers, reviews, etc. It’s still google, but a lot better than the normal search engine counterpart.
– https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines A list of search engines sorted by subject, area, and more. If you’re searching on a specific area, it might be worth checking if there is one focused on that area.
Also, P.S.: Please stop using Google, and start using more privacy focused search engines, like DuckDuckGo or SearchX (opensource; personally haven’t used it yet, but it looks promising for privacy-focused users)
That Google and Meta can get away with this during an era of intense misinformation and disinformation signals that we cannot rely on large tech companies to provide reliable access to information and news:
Reading going postal and then maskarade is fun because the chandelier in the opera house of maskarade is fairly important and mentioned quite a lot towards the end of the book and thEY STOLE IT FROM THE POST OFFICE!!!
THEY HAVE A HUGE BEAUTIFUL GAUDY CHANDELIER BUTBTHEY STOLE IT FROM THE MAIL MEN (and golems)
There’s a fight (of sorts) between nanny ogg and the villain right around its rope and the whole time I was just hoping it doesn’t get damaged so it could be returned and trying to remember which book was written first anyways
Apparently the assassins guild has the other chandelier. It wasn’t made clear why the post office needed two of those in the first place, but I hope they show up again 🔆🔆
