🤗 i dont like this emoji. this is not a hug to me. this is someone doing condescending jazz hands in my general direction when i am in need of affection. not comforting.

🫂 i love this emoji. this is a hug. we are hugging and its nice. and as a special bonus they appear to be my old friends from the msn messenger logo? very comforting.

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

Yeah like... it's all well and good to be opposed to the idea of war and people dying. I tend to assume everyone holds those positions. But once the missiles start flying like... what's the endgame? You can't exactly just go "oopsie daisy, takesy-backsies?" and you can't exactly let people bomb you with impunity forever. So, legitimately, what's the endgame? What does a lasting peace look like? And nobody fucking knows anymore.

you know i wonder if the anti war people will be remembered like we remember those like nevile camberlin one of the ones who allowed hitler to rise to power because he was scared of another war that was depely unpopular I hate quoting churchhill cause he was a bad person but he was right when he said you had a choice between dishounur and war, you choose dishounar and you will have war

pretty much. "anti war" is such a useless and ridiculous description too. its like "anti rape" or "anti pedophilia" like yeah....no shit lmao but what r u gonna do abt these things??? just say that theyre BadTM?? jhasegjhdasf

I just find "I thought I could never interact with an israeli in my lifetime" really funny because like... we're just kind of around? On the internet? We exist. There are communities, and places you can find us because we make them to find each other. There are nearly ten million of us, y'know?

Hi, I was the American anon a couple of days ago. Sorry I should have put a disclaimer that I know the Bible isn’t a good historically accurate book.

I just got really excited to find an Israeli Archeologist here on tumblr. I thought I could never interact with a Israeli in my lifetime

Also…I was very culturally ignorant about Israel until a couple of years ago. Like I thought the City of Jerusalem was all ruins after the Crusades for some reason. I just learn 2 years ago that Nazareth is a city

And I was 23

Me was a American dumb dumb

Also why are there so many tribes in The Middle East 😵‍💫?

I mean been researching like

“Okay let me try to understand the Arab world better! Wait there this subgroup, than this subgroup, but these two groups hate each other but they hate another group together AAAAAAAAA!”

Sorry for this long one…I’m actually quite nervous talking to you even in anon because I don’t want to be see rude and disrespectful to you.

its ok ur not rude or disrespectful at all!

idk if there are more "tribes" (or clans) in the mideast than in other places, but Arab society is heavily family-centered, and clans are organized in a similar way. in Israel for example, most Arab villages consist of only 2 or 3 large families (clans), amounting to 10k+ ppl.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about my family and how I was treated as a child, and honestly, my father has never seemed more amazing in my eyes.

I used to love Luigi(Mario's brother) when I was little. Like, he was my favorite character ever, and I had multiple plushies of him. Didn't give a fuck about Mario, vaguely tolerated Peach, but I loved Luigi.

On my first day of kindergarten, my dad gave me the number for his work phone and said it was Luigi's phone number. "If anything happens at school, call Luigi."And not even twenty minutes into my first day, I was having a panic attack. So I went down to the principal's office and called "Luigi."

Now, at the time, my father was in a meeting with his manager and his supervisor, along with most of his coworkers. And when I called, he picked up before he even left the room.

And he put on a very awful Italian accent and said, "Itsa me, Luigi! Whatsa the matter?"In front of his boss and coworkers. Without telling them what was going on. So they were absolutely bewildered, and he carried on like they didn't even exist. He only explained what was happening after I had calmed down and hung up, to which most of them responded with "Aww, cute."

I continued to call him whenever I got upset at school, and eventually his coworkers got in on it. I distinctly remember one of them impersonating Toad. I don't know why I'm telling you this, I just thought it might make you smile :)

this is so delightful I love your Luigi dad

The history of the Disney company is so fucking fascinating and complicated that I could spend the rest of my life studying it.

I hate the company. I love the media. I want it to burn. I was profoundly shaped as a person by some of the art its workers have produced. It’s evil. It’s beautiful. It’s an eldritch horrorterror personified as a charismatic mouse. It’s a nightmarish example of capitalist hell. It destroys as much as it creates. It’s a flaming trainwreck. I can’t look away.

It’s the goddamn Elephant’s Foot of media studies.

United Healthcare getting sued by its investors, because it didn't warn them that the CEO getting murdered (by the tendrils of their unmitigated greed) was going to lead to them approving more claims (for covered services that they had no right to deny) is a cartoonish example of exactly why their CEO got murdered.

Their argument is essentially "You promised us a specific profit margin that is not possible to achieve under this increased public scrutiny of your unethical practices. We only agreed to invest because of those unethical practices. So we demand compensation because you didn't warn us that you'd be behaving more ethically"

And idk. Satire isn't just dead. We've pissed on its corpse and now it's dissolving in lye.
