i don’t know how to explain to you people that no matter what a country’s government is like i do not and will not support the US indiscriminately bombing that country’s civilians and i don’t know why that’s a controversial take tbh

googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much

Started using phone time to read library ebooks instead of scrolling and it’s made me back into the crazy voracious reader I was at age 12. i’ve been averaging a book a day this week. everyone delete your social media and get your ass on libby

"God never gives you more than you can handle" is survivorship bias. People who got more than they could handle are dead.

When I was little my mom’s meatloaf was my favorite food. But ONLY her meatloaf. I didn’t like anyone else’s, and she told me that she would teach me how to make it when I was older. And when I was like 19? She finally taught me, but she told me never to tell anyone else and I was like weird but okay

Anyway, she was super fucking homophobic and abusive to me when I told her I was gay, so here’s the recipe

4-6 lbs of Hamburger/turkey burger

1 pk onion soup mix OR ranch mix

1 TBs ketchup

1 Tbs spicy brown mustard,

1 Tbs bbq sauce

1 Tbs steak sauce

1 egg

mix, shape into a loaf in a big pan, and bake at 350 for 2 hrs (maybe 2 and a half if you’re feeling dangerous)

You can get almost all of these ingredients at the dollar store, and have leftovers if it’s just you. The leftovers make great tacos if (taco seasoning is also like a dollar). Enjoy your revenge loaf

I can't be sure that that's what he was doing but one coworker said "yknow. people swallow several spiders every year" and my other coworker said "well that's just- it's not true. it's a- no, you'd wake up" and just. there was a look in his eyes. I just know

happy juneteenth but dont forget that prisoners are legally allowed to be subject to slave labor and also black people are disproportionately arrested and subjected to that legality. happy juneteenth but slavery still lives in america. america is still dependant on slave labor.

It's Juneteenth yall. And I'm not letting this day go unmarked.

Black people fight for everybody. We stand in solidarity with women, lgbt people, poor people all over the world of every skin color and background. Every religion and nationality.

Today, stand with us. Be with us. Tell a black person you love them. Hug a black person (with consent). Ask that hot black girl out today. Make a black person smile. Black lives matter to everybody and you matter to us.

Stand with us on Juneteenth like we stand with you all year round, and I hope a happy Pride month continues for all of us

💝

Scoria sweetly asking to be pet. She does this all the time to ask for affection. She originally learned this by watching and mimicking. Many snakes enjoy being pet, they just don't often know how how to tell their humans as the way they express love and affection naturally is different than us.

Snakes naturally show love and affection to each other (especially babies with their mothers) by slithering all over her, giving affection through touch. Many people do not recognize this affection as it isn't as easy to see as a human petting, or an animal licking- most only see an animal trying to get from one place to another. They don't realize an expression of affection is being made- but if you watch for intent you can sometimes tell they are trying to be affectionate not just go somewhere.

Scoria learning by watching and mimicking helps show affection in a way more easy for humans to understand and relate to. Many times she'll express this further by petting ME after she's been given all the love in the world. She's also pet her (very confused) sister, hopefully I'll have my camera ready next time as this is much more rare.

Snakes that lean into pets, relax, and stop moving and watch you while you pet them are good indicators they enjoy being pet. If they move away, or do defensive displays, or if you see their lungs move rapidly while being pet they are not having a good time.

Also there is a LIE that a lot of people believe that snakes can't feel happy, love, or affection. This is 100% false. This is often coupled with people saying snakes lack the part of the brain needed to feel these things. This is wrong. They have a brain structure more similar to birds than humans and their brain structure just uses a different chemical than humans. It's like saying that only name brand Coke is cola.

Snakes can be incredibly loving animals who have their favorite people, and best friends. They just don't usually express it the same way people do.

when I was a kid I wished I had nosebleeds. I had some friends who had them and I was like. that looks so fucking cool. you're just sitting there and suddenly you're covered in blood. it looks so dramatic. it looks so... and here my language failed me. at such a humble age I did not have the vocabulary to describe the sublime. I just sat in incomprehensible jealousy. I turned out totally normal by the way
