experience i had today

apparently the peacock is:

1) known to my father and no other members of my family

2) someone’s pet

3) named (father cannot remember the name)

4) something my father has wanted to encounter forever. he is now extremely jealous that i encountered the mystery backroads peacock

Just a reminder for the expected flash floods that are bound to come from Hurricane Hilary: DO NOT TRY TO CROSS OR WADE THROUGH MOVING FLOOD WATERS OF ANY DEPTH, it will get deeper and move faster suddenly and you will get swept off your feet, resulting in injury or death. Do not try to drive through them either, cars can just as easily get swept downstream

HOLY SHIT THE HOMESTUCK TUMBLR EXPLORER IS BACK!

basically it’s a website that a guy made so that you can scroll through every homestuck post ever made on tumblr in chronological order! it was down for a few months, which was sad because it’s really REALLY interesting for old internet nerds (and also instrumental for my archiving over on @homestuckfandomarchive!)

Oh damn okay I’ll have to check that out

you can fine it here :D

dear californians -

though i don’t live on the NC coast (i’m more central/near the mountains NC), i still deal with hurricanes. they can still be hurricane or tropical storm level by the time they reach here.

the cone of certainty is also kind of uncertain - it can wiggle within the cone, or veer completely off course at any time.

do not underestimate this.

here’s some prep:

in case of power outage -

• charge everything
• have batteries
• have flashlights
• have non-perishable food
• have a cooler and ice packs/bags of ice for vital food and medications
• the food thing is really important for people with dietary restrictions because it can take days for power to be restored
• open your refrigerator and freezer as little as possible to keep things cool longer

in case of water problems -

• fill all the water bottles

in case of flooding and evacuation -

• get a full tank of gas
• don’t drive through water ffs
• have cash
• have a bag packed with clothes, shoes, medications, etc.
• have a bag packed for your pet(s) with carriers, food, medications, favorite toys, etc.
• get any important documents together and put them in ziplock bags to protect them from water
• document any valuable possessions in case of flooding for insurance purposes (move them to higher ground if there’s time)
• check your flood zone
• check your flood, home/rent, car insurance policies
• check your evacuation route

listen to officials and meteorologists. stay calm. have a plan.

thinking of you! feel free to ask me questions and share this.

I think more people need to learn the phrase “I don’t know enough about that to have a strong opinion” its literally a cheat code for awkward conversations

its ok if you actually do know a lot about the thing and/or have strong opinions about it btw. you can just lie

I just remembered I forgot to water the seedlings in the greenhouse so I went back outside, and I was too lazy to look for the small watering can for seedlings at this hour so I just knelt down near the fish tank and took some water in my cupped hands and started tossing it towards the seedling tray on the table behind me

—only the fish are starting to be very friendly by now, as soon as they see me they come wriggling happily to say hi and check if I have a little insect or some other snack to give them, and suddenly I found myself accidentally catching a friendly little fish in my cupped hands and throwing it in the air behind me. I literally realised what I was doing as I was doing it

I have bad reflexes usually but this time I jumped up and flailed around desperately and managed to catch the little guy mid-flight!!!!

The fish was very confused but unharmed 😭

(sorry for the poor stick drawings, I felt I could not adequately convey our mutual jolt of surprise and terror with words)

I AM LAUGHING SO HARD. The stick drawings only enhanced the narrative.

It is endlessly incredible to me the degree to which this man always has to go and add something extra. To anyone else — anyone else on earth — making a giant teddy bear sculpture out of chocolate is already a hugely ambitious task. Making it with as realistic as he does even more so.

And then. And THEN!

This madman decides that the teddy bear should also have a zipper with stuffing spilling out. The audacity. It’s so extra. I love it.

“your rent should be a third of your income” well wouldn’t that be nice. wouldn’t it. lower the rent pussy

Casual observation from someone old enough to remember: in the year 2000 financial advice was that rent should be no more than ¼ of your income.

Until the mid 80s, the advice was that if you must rent instead of owning, then that 20% of your monthly income (oh yes, only 20%) should include all your utilities too.

After all, rent costs more than a mortgage, so it should offer more too.

The housing market is a fucking travesty.

Hmm what happened in the mid eighties….

i love how in FL cannibalism is for the most part only hinted at like ‘ohhh they have such ‘’’’’terrible table manners’’’’’’’’ if you know what i mean’ and the player character has to put in a good bit of effort to even interact with cannibals, much less eat human flesh. 

and then in sunless sea its like ‘whoops im out of supplies better eat my crew haha’ 

listen i don’t know anything about Fallen London but you abbreviating it to FL made me think this was something happening in Florida and as someone who lives in Florida, i was prepared to believe it

I do believe it. I’ve met some weird hangry people here.

So. How’s the new layout going?

I’m not using desktop anymore or changed it with an extension

I hate it but I won’t stop using desktop or change anything for myself

I either don’t have an opinion or think I’ll get used to it so it’s fine

I kinda like it

I like it a lot

I think these options are unbiased enough for @staff to accept a blaze if anyone with money wants to give it some reach now that we’re going site-wide here.

Can we get. one million votes

Hot demon women. You agree, reblog

I am curious as to the ages of adults writing fanfiction*. please let me know which age bracket you are in!

18 - 24

25 - 29

30s

40s

50s

60s

70s +

I don’t write fanfiction but I read it and I’m under 25

I don’t write fanfiction but I read it and I’m over 25

*and are on tumblr, this will not be an indication of age of fanfic writers overall, of course

I broke up the 20s as I, in my experience, feel there is a greater distinction between these age groups

please pick the age you are now, not what you will be

there is no “I want to see answers” option as I don’t want junk data

please reblog!

c'mon fandom olds, chime in
