all fake. your tables not even real. its just some wood someone assembled in the shape of a table
hi, gentle reminder that you can reclaim slurs for yourself but not for the entire community! Please don't say g*y when talking about other fags, it is a harmful word that has been used against the queer community to hurt mlm, use less harmful words like cocksucker, faggot, queer, and fairy! Thank you ✨
how long until someone takes this one seriously I wonder
To everyone who read g*y as goy, you know what sure new discourse just dropped, calling people goy is homophobic now and you must call non Jewish people fags that's the rule I'm sure we can wrap the slur discourse enough to lead to that conclusion
shabat shalom to all you christian ass-bandits
i want a game that uses disco elysium’s same insanely well crafted narrative system and wonderful writing…. but it’s about a 6 year old named calvin and his stuffed tiger hobbes
PERCEPTION[SOUND]-The "WAP! WAP! WAP!" of hammer onto nail is consistent. You weild the tool with skill and precision.
HALF LIGHT- Oh, yeah! Destruction incarnate!
MOM- "Calvin!" She yells, dashing to stop you. "What are you doing to the coffee table?!"
YOU- You look at your handiwork. A dozen crooked and bent nails stick out at different angles in the wood. It feels pretty obvious as to what you're doing.
LOGIC[Trivial:Failure]- Is this some kind of trick question, or what?
Like, I'm not gonna say that the X-Men and their various imitators are anything like a perfect allegory, but "it's a bad allegory because super powers really are dangerous" has never held water for me. Like, are we really just gonna uncritically accept the implicit assumption lurking in that argument that bigotry is only wrong to the extent that its targets lack the ability to threaten the status quo? Hand-wringing over whether certain minorities are inherently dangerous is – and, critically, always has been – a smoke-screen for the real conversation about who has the right to possess the capacity for violence, and you can't engage with that conversation if your opening move is to concede that the only legitimate victim is a powerless one.
To underline what I mean about "the right to possess the capacity for violence", let's peel back the allegory and bring it back to the real-world issues that are allegedly being allegorised.
Every time the cops roll up and shoot some poor guy thirty-seven times in the back because the cell phone in his pocket looked kind of like it might be a gun, the public conversation always centres around questions like "are the police telling the truth about thinking it was a gun?" and "were the police reasonable to assume it was a gun?"
These are not the right questions to be asking.
The right question to be asking is "so what if it was a gun?"
Would the public execution of a guy who was literally just walking down the street have been justified then?
It's not accidental that stories of this type are most popular in America, where the people who can be counted on to argue that cops are behaving correctly when they kill on sight every time they see a member of a visible minority who looks like they might be packing are the exact same people who argue that carrying concealed automatic weapons without a permit is the God-given right of every red-blooded American man, woman and child.
This is not hypocrisy. They know exactly what they're doing. It's not about who is and is not dangerous: it's about who has the right to be dangerous.
Reading reviews for havdalah candles written by unsuspecting Christian housewives who bought them to use for dinner candles is my new passion. I’ll be laughing for an eternity.
Imagine letting a candle burn that looks like this once lit:
For an hour.
Dude, get the wine!
Different havdalah candle, same guy.
Pls…
For my goyische followers: Havdalah is a service to mark the end of shabbat and the beginning of the week. The flame is big so that everyone at the service can see it. You also only have it lit for a few minutes before extinguishing it (traditionally in wine). They are not table candles. My guess is that these people bought them because they’re pretty and braided without knowing or caring what they’re used for.
For my Jewish followers: the goyim are at it again.
It needs to be multiple wicks, and I think a tall flame is just what happens in that situation
We all love urban fantasy but we have to contend with the fact that if monsters were real, some of them would be normies. Your werewolf boyfriend posts on LinkedIn. The tentacled horror you've been thirsting after is a Disney adult.
You did it, you made unimaginable horror within man-made comprehension.
is there a gender neutral word for uncle/aunt
Emily you’re not gonna like this but
yeah i'm not using that
No you won’t ever be exactly the same again and that’s fine, actually.
I’m assuming you’re talking about the ‘died and came back different’ thing?
No, I’m talking about the mundane horror of existing as a human being.

After you eat that you sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed rhoncus.
Tumblr really has ruined me. I was in a Rite-Aid and "out of touch" came on over the speakers, and I freaked out a bit because I thought I had missed my thursday morning meeting. It took me a minute before I remembered that Out of Touch playing does not always mean its thursday. sometimes people just play the song.
You know whats weird? A lot of alchemical texts say that the philosophers stone smells good. Especially the texts that describe it as a red powder. They say it has a powerful, pleasant aroma. Not really sure why that is.
Mmmmmmm new seasoning for food
Philosophers stone actually smoked paprika.
Yessssss I believe this
Throw a little Philosophers Stone on that bad bouy
