Listen, if you interrupt me with a new task while I’m midway through another, you aren’t allowed to be mad when I switch to the new task immediately. You clearly thought the new task was important enough to interrupt me with it!
I am just a little pikmin! You’re the one with the whistle!!
‘You need to learn to prioritise’ no YOU do! You’re the one dishing out tasks!! All I need to do is take things back to the onion!

aha i’m seeing it around again so let’s please remember that the “there are two wolves inside you, one is evil, one is good” (and every single variation thereupon created for funny internet meme fandom reference purposes, thank you) is a textbook example of native fetishism and half-assed appropriation - it is a false “inuit legend” created by billy graham. yes, that billy graham. originally he said the story was inuit, then upon being called out in the canadian press, he changed it to a “cherokee legend” because he knew the cherokee wouldn’t be able to do anything about it due to censorship of native americans in american media.
“so what?? i’m not even using it in a way that references the original! it’s just a funny phrase / a tiktok audio / etc!” - the reason i personally hate this fake legend so much is because it was invented to support christian beliefs - the idea of inner darkness and original sin versus inner goodness and morality is a christian one entirely, and not a part of inuit or cherokee beliefs. if you know any damn thing about native history both on and off turtle island you should be able to figure out why exactly it’s fucking shitty to compare christian ideals to native legend in any way shape or form, or imply that the two are related somehow, or that natives have always believed in christian ideals pre-colonization, even. and by repeating it as a funny phrase it doesn’t really actually take any power away from it like so many well meaning non natives seem to think it does. all it does is keep circulating a myth that further pushes real native cultures (cultures!!! never a monolith) out of society’s view!!!(via stayoutofitnick)

Have to say, House MD is the only show that really does live up to the hype on tumblr.
Dr Medical Malpractice really does walk around committing the most insane crimes on the daily.
The show oscillates between radically protective of vulnerable people, and the most mean spirited takes possible in the name of edginess.
House and Wilson really do have the wildest little fucked up relationship you’ve ever seen.
It’s like the opposite of the Yo, Mr White meme, where’s every joke post is just a canonical scene from this damn show.
I got started with House binge-watching while recovering from surgery to help with chronic pain (and on post-surgical pain meds). I don’t remember a bit of the first two seasons but it was in many ways probably the ideal way to watch it. I might give it a rewatch sometime.

I love the term “loanwords” because it implies that you intend to give them back.
*dumps a box full of words on French’s front porch* You never came back for your shit.

The fact that the Boston transit system has been a garbage fire for so long that our mascot is a sad little man who is literally stranded on the train until the end of time due to a fare increase. Charlie’s desiccated corpse has been riding this train since the 1940s and everyone just sort of rolls with it it this point
Back in the 40s the T installed a fare to get off the train as well as to get on, because the system has always been that broken. So a song was written about the mythical man of Charlie on the M.T.A., who doesn’t have the extra fare and becomes stuck there. Forever. Riding around in a never-ending circular nightmare because the city is corrupt and everyone else in Boston is a cheapskate who won’t lend him a goddamn nickel. Adding insult to injury his wife throws him food every day but not money, probably because she’s better off single.
The T responded by saying “to hell with it, he’s our mascot now.”
The solution to crumbling public infrastructure should always be a jaunty banjo solo
Oh wow… ttc’s pretty bad but not exactly a Kafkaesque purgatory like that o.O
Also, that song is really good!
to be fair you no longer need exit fare for the T, so the charlie card would effectively free charlie. but this does not make boston public transit any less fucked up. yes, this is partly because charlie is haunting the system, we all know that, but charlie’s only haunting the system because the system haunted him. true bostonians know the real enemy
He is most definitely haunting the system.
You know that old antique trolley car sitting in Boylston Station?
I’m convinced Charlie is still in there.
Waiting.
Is Charlie the one almost dropping ceiling tiles on riders or is that a different, more evil entity?
There is an older horror in the tunnels that never sleeps
The dread shriek as the green line pulls into Park Street… truly the howls of the damned
Anyway fun facts: the Washington DC Metro not only has exit fare, they have:
* fare rated for how far you travel
* fare based on what time of day it is
While the T has been cursed for far longer, Metro makes up for it by speed running being Super Cursed.

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
