me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit

mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters

me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU

One of my favorite things about tumblr is the fact that unless you tell people in your life your account, you’re literally free to say or reblog anything you want without worrying about people you know judging you

This can also be really bad when people think they can be mean because there aren’t repercussions irl

Shrinkflation

So, I found out a fun fact this last weekend!

Every state has a Department of Weights and Measures. One of their jobs is to make sure that companies are actually selling you the quantities they claim they're selling. For example, this is the department which tests gas pumps and makes sure they're really pumping out a gallon of gas when they charge you for a gallon of gas.

So....

If you happen to, just as an example, notice that your 1lb (16 ounce) box of San Giorgio spaghetti actually only has 10oz of noodles, and you weigh your other boxes of spaghetti to discover they run from 10 to 14 ounces but never the full pound they're supposed to have, and that's why you never seem to have enough pasta for leftovers the next day, then you can report that to the Department of Weights and Measures.

They will want to know where you bought the item, and then will investigate whether the store or the manufacturer is routinely shorting customers. If they do, they will issue a fine to the offending party, you will be eligible for a refund, and under some circumstances lawsuits may follow.

Now, I don't know the outcome of the complaint I just initiated, but they did not want to know specific receipts or times of purchase. Which is good for me as I didn't keep any of those things, at the time I just said "Wow, fuck San Giorgio" and switched brands. But this is still enough to get an inspector out.

[neverbeatingthegingerallegations]

I highly suggest reading this! I absolutely love it and I can’t wait to see where the story leads!!

Art for my new fanfiction.

—

To save her tribe, Katara marries the Fire Prince in secret.

He’s supposed to be her enemy—cold, calculating, dangerous. But behind locked doors and whispered lies, something far more dangerous begins to burn between them.

“I’m not a killer, Katara,” he breathes against her ear. “But for you… I could be.”

Does anyone have an atla gc 😭🫶

I can't believe I was today years old when I found out that fan spaces felt so dead and exclusionary / like everything happened without me knowing about it because half of fandom as a concept transitioned to entirely existing in group chats,,,,,,,,,,,,, shows how out of the damn loop I am but if anyone would like to direct me in the direction of a group chat,,,,,, lmk cause I've been missing that
