british towns will be called Fuckmouth or whatever and people will just go with it
obsessed with this
i literally live 10 miles from shitterton and i can confirm that the council had to replace all of their signs with rocks because they kept getting stolen.
[ID: A digital illustration of Vax'ildan from Critical Role. He is visible from the waist up wearing modern clothing and eating ice cream. He is wearing a Siouxsie and the Banshees t-shirt, a spiked choker and spiked bracelet, a couple crystal pendant necklaces, and a large daisy tucked into his hair. He is looking off to the right, holding his double scoop vanilla ice cream cone in front of his mouth. End description.]
A little modern Vax bc summer is trying to kill me
Just saw a before and after video of a Persian guy getting a nose job
I change my mind I like my nose the way it is actually
When you say nose job, you definitely mean plastic surgery to alter the shape of the nose right? Not the other set of words which typically get -job appended to them? Right?
This is not a question a person with common sense would ask
Went to the zoo today and they had these Arabian Oryxes but one of them found a hat somebody presumably dropped in the enclosure and was playing with it
He managed to get it on too. Looking stylish my friend
i never realized cuneiform was made with the corner of a cuboid tool, i thought the wedge shapes were carved such that you would press straight down with the tool at a 90° angle to the clay
btw being excessively nonconfrontational is NOT a positive trait. it does not mean u are “too nice” or just too kind to hurt people, it means u have a problem communicating and you need to work on it.
There are people in the notes saying that the alternative reason is that they’re doing it because of trauma and i gotta say that
1) same. I did have this same problem and reason for doing it.
2) this is not actually an alternate reason. You guys also have a problem communicating and while you can trace exactly WHY you have trouble communicating that doesn’t mean it’s okay to treat everyone like they’re potentially your former abuser and that you DO still need to work on this.
‘This behavior comes from trauma’ and ‘This behavior is harmful to you, to others and to your relationships with others’ are two truths that can co-exist, and that do co-exist quite frequently.
Some of the most frustrating people I’ve ever dealt with were “nonconfrontational” which really meant that they were silent about problems until they built up enough grievances that the problem was irreconcilable, and then delivered an ultimatum without warning. Makes me SO FURIOUS every time.
marie howe, in an interview with krista tippett of on being
from marie howe’s 2017 collection of poetry, magdalene
[id: Two screenshots. First, an interview. Ms. Tippett: What do you mean? What is the assignment? 10 observations of their actual world? Ms. Howe: Just tell me what you saw this morning like in two lines. I saw a water glass on a brown tablecloth, and the light came through it in three places. No metaphor. And to resist metaphor is very difficult because you have to actually endure the thing itself, which hurts us for some reason. Ms. Tippett: It does. Second, a poem, Magdalene at the Theopoetics Conference. Yes, the scholar said, but why ask your students to write these close observations? What use is it to notice the rusted drainpipe? The young woman asleep in the library her head resting on her folded arms? Why should they look inside the petals of the purple tulip to the yellow pollen-coated stamen? Or under their beds to where the dust has collected? /end]
Being raised by areligious jews with 0 exposure to christianity outside pop culture is so fun. One time I asked my ex-catholic friend why a picture of jesus had a bristle crown and she looked at me like I was insane. One time I heard someone mention the “lance of longinus” and responded, word for word, “Like from Evangelion?” One time during a history lesson my professor described an important monk and scholar as “Dominican” and I spent the rest of class super confused and hung up on it because I was very sure that the Dominican Republic didn’t meaningfully exist as an entity back then, maybe she meant he was a native Taino or something but that’s a weird way to say that and I’m pretty sure this was pre- European contact? Really fucks people up when they realize I genuinely have no idea.
This but it’s my partner taking an art history class in college and the professor looking at them like they grew a second head when they answered “What came out of Jesus’ wound when he was stabbed on the cross” with “…Blood?”
Additions that prove my point by mystifying me because what on earth would come out of a nail wound besides blood. Are you telling me it was something besides blood. What was jesus full of that wasn’t blood. You guys are scaring me
Apparently it was water?? I guess he was also stabbed on top of being crucified (which feels like overkill imo) and water came out, which was a huge deal in medieval symbolism and also to my medieval poetry professor, who was genuinely shocked and upset that I didn’t know. This man fully docked me points because I, a whole ass Jew, hadn’t somehow heard about the secret waterballoon Jesus lore that I guess everyone is supposed to like… intuit
On the plus side, it does lead to some absolutely wild medieval Jesus art of angels tapping him like a fucking keg
