Ya'll ever think that except for stuff like ren fairs are the only time adults get to play when the human animal never stops needing play behavior?
the cultural perception that play is an inherently childish thing is one of the worst ideas to come out of modern civilization (in my very not-humble and objectively correct opinion)
I follow Dave Zackin on instagram, I really like his weird art. most of the pottery he decorates are pieces that were made by other people at the studio he works out of, pieces that were going to be either recycled or discarded
here’s some of his work
and it occurred to me, my studio has boxes of bisqueware sitting in the back from students who never finished their work or stopped coming to classes. some of them have been sitting there for years. and my studio’s owner agreed to let me take the older pieces! he was happy to have them become useful again, and I’m happy to have some weird random stuff to decorate.
part of what I think makes Dave Zackin’s art so interesting is that he’s working with unusually shaped pieces, which poses some challenges. restrictions like that force people to think creatively! I'm hoping this'll inspire some weird stuff lol
anyway here’s my haul!
so yeah! I got some stuff to decorate lol

I wanna formally thank @theunsubtleknife for the ID, because I spent a good thirty seconds waiting for this to load before sulkily scrolling on, thinking I would have to refresh my feed.

david hollander is the true winner of the idgaf war. he doesn’t know what youtube is. he doesn’t care about shane’s sponsorships. he understands why shane doesn’t wanna go to wimbledon and is just happy to go with his wife. he sees his son making out with his supposed arch enemy and turns 180 degrees, gets in his car, and doesn’t tell a soul. he pulls out the vodka when his newly out gay son is having a freak out at the dinner table. if shane had even 1% of his idgaf powers he would be unstoppable. unfortunately that boy inherited his mom’s gaf-ability, which is constantly set to 150%.
There’s a lot of excellent examples of the difference between a million and a billion, but here’s my new personal favorite from a conversation I had today:
A million minutes ago was April 2021, the height of the COVID pandemic.
A billion minutes ago was November 121 CE, the height of the Roman Empire.
as of today (6/30/2025) this post was made over 1.2 million minutes ago. a billion minutes ago was still the height of the roman empire
No, seriously, do NOT.
Feeling dirty and grimy for extended periods of time is extremely draining on the mental well-being of humans. Psychological studies prove it is detrimental to our self-esteem and contentment. And no wonder; we are animals--homo sapiens, a kind of ape--that instinctively places high importance on personal grooming. Like monkeys and cats and birds in a zoo, one of the best ways to make us feel sad ... is to make us feel gross to ourselves.
So here's an easy saying from my therapist/zookeeper:
"If you feel like you hate the world, eat something.
If you feel like the world hates you, get some sleep.
If you feel like you hate yourself, take a shower.
You will probably feel much better."
Do all three at once to become the perfect life form
Whoa! Is this where @redgoldsparks ‘ comic comes from?
Yes this is the source of the text!
my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who's my best friend in the world and recently he was like "you're too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!" and I was like "a niece might be more up my alley" and he just got more excited and said "ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful"
OP the tags!!
I need you guys to know that Rose Landry’s brothers gave her the absolute gears about dating and then appearing to break up with Shane. they were in the family chat fully telling her not to come home for Christmas. they spent years telling her to her face that she had fumbled the biggest rocket she’d ever had a shot at.
and once Shane came out, one of their friends with a podcast laughingly asks if this means Rose gets a break and they’re like absolutely fucking not. one of us could have had a shot. that woman owes us a debt that cannot be repaid.
"none of those words are in the bible" but it's me nitpicking about what textile manufacturing techniques weren't invented until late antiquity and are thus anachronistic translations of biblical language
#you did NOT knit me together in my mother's womb. that was weaving. #offshoot of me wincing every time someone uses 'embroidered' to describe ancient greek fabrics that would've definitely been tapestry-woven #it makes a difference!!! #knitting and weaving have VERY different symbolic/metaphorical connotations!!! #embroidery is a secondary process applied to already-complete textiles! different implications!
