Cheers to you and the infectious disease you spawned one year ago today! <3

Still beautiful! The mismatched pattern is always part of the charm with yarns like that.

oh so when the Pope goes on about transubstantiation it’s fine, but when I, a humble pervert

I’m left wondering how “religious guilt” even rates a mention when “cannibalism” is right there on the top.

I’m halfway through this article and this is an utterly INSANE way to teach reading. What is the student supposed to do upon encountering a new concept? An unexpected confluence of events in the text? A poem? And how the heckin’ heck would a student subsequently learn to WRITE?

You are an unrepentant vandal

the volume of unsolicited opinions about how you ought to look must have been staggering, you have my sympathy

relatable. when i considered top surgery, my list of “cons” was ten different way of saying “other people like my tits”. there was only one “pro”: “I don’t want ‘em”. took an embarrassingly long time to realize that what 10 other ppl want me to look like doesn’t actually outweigh my own vote.

I also find it helps to find one person you respect who makes mega freaky shit so you can be like “well if they can post THAT, then I’m FINE.”

the secret is to go all-in on what YOU like and other people will be drawn in by your passion and purity of vision

I saw 2 young American Chestnut trees just this weekend. They apparently had lived long enough so far to produce nuts, which was very exciting for the local naturalists, even though they expected the trees wouldn’t live too much longer.

Cool fact: apparently these mushrooms self-digest. When I asked for followup information, my guide (mother) said “I don’t know, ask Steve.” Steve was not present so now I have only my own wild imagination to fill in the gaps re what’s going on with this fascinating organism.
