I don’t have a particular aesthetic.
June 7th, 1942: Edward Hopper completes his best known painting, the seminal Nighthawks. When asked by a Chicago Tribute reporter about the philosophical meaning behind the diner having no clearly visible exits Hopper responded, “Shit. Fuck. I did it again. Goddamnit. Fuck. Not again. I did it again. Shit.” and slammed his hat on his leg.
how does this only have 150 notes
I fucking laughed so hard at this all artists are hilarious
I have had this scheduled since december
oh its that day again
yknow what im gonna write that fic i thought of when i was watching the superbowl where a put an oc into deimon but she hits like she troy polamalu and plays defense like the 1985 chicago bears because my love karin cannot be the only girl player and i already picked a name out
This is sort of a stale take, but lately i've been thinking about what makes Tokyo Revengers so special and i think i got it. Because besides being a midly ridiculous tale about a boy who can time leap and is really bad at it, it is also a tale about grief.
Like the story really happens because Takemichis grief for a time when he felt truly happy, and a woman that made him feel special, and we see that grief is what carries the story. Think about it, it is Naoto's grief and his refusal to accept his sister's death, that leads him to make a deal with super unreliable time traveler Takemichi, and it doesn't stop there, nearly all important characters are actively going through a time of grieving.
We see it in Chifuyu for whos grief for Baji manifest as loyalty both to his former friends dreams as we see in the bonten future, and loyalty to Takemichi who we know he sees as Bajis successor. We see it Kokonui and Inui for whom grief is expressed as codependency and just plain delusion in hopes to recover a person who is no longer with them. We see it in the Shiba family whose grief for their mother became abuse and violence which we know at some point resulted in death. We even see it in Kisaki who mourns the Hina in his head and does everything in his power to recover her.
But most importantly we see it in our deuteragonist/antagonist/love interest Mikey, whose inability to accept his grief kickstarts all the bad things that happen in the future. (so yeah Kazutora is kinda right it is Mikey's fault). Mikey's denial and refusal to accept death and his own grief for the people he has lost is what destroys all possibilities of a good future. Sure Kisaki is the main antagonist of the series but the true evil is Mikey's grief, and the only way now to ensure a happy future for the people that are left is making Mikey accept that he is grieving and has been grieving for quite sometime.
What Tokyo Revengers is really about is how our expression of grief affects us and everyone around us, and how failing to let go can only hurt us and everyone else in the long run.
which one of u was going to tell me that tea tastes different if u put it in hot water?
y- you were putting it in cold water?????
Radish. Answer the question radish.
yeah??? i thought for like. 5 years that ppl just put it in hot water 2 speed up the tea-ification process didn’t realize there was an actual reason
You dont have the patience to microwave water for 3 minutes???
[ID: Tags reading “u think i have the patience to boil water wtf ?????” /End ID]
why are you. putting it in the microwave to boil it
Do you think I have the patience to boil water on the stove
Like seven minutes
Just stick the mug on top of the stove on medium heat n it boils in like two minutes… less than that is u use a saucepan…
Crying you’re putting the whole mug on the stove ???? On medium heat???? Ur stove is enchanted
Every single person in this post is a fucking lunatic
Yet another post that reads like four shakespeare characters who come out in the middle of the play to talk about something completely unrelated for comic relief
(Enter RADISHN’T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)
RADISHN’T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell
Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act
Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?
MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!
FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.
RADISHN’T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?
Without the guide of others I assumed
That heat was merely added for the sake
Of expediting this solution’s brewing!
Half a decade I have spent, or more,
Not questioning this worldview I had made.
In fact, I am myself a bit surprised
That you might think that I, your dearest friend,
Might have a patience of sufficient stock
To wait until a pot of water boils.
FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?
The microwave will beep when it is done!
CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!
Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!
FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know
That I have not the patience, like our Root,
To boil upon the stove our favour’d drink?
CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!
FROG: On what plate?
Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?
CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task
Of boiling but a single cup alone?
FROG: In minutes?
CATS'N: Yes!
FROG: I counted seven, once.
CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!
If on a middle heat you place the cup
You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.
Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate
Or even less, if you should have a pot.
FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?
You place upon the iron stove a mug?
A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?
How do these flames, though medium in height,
Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?
Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched
With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!
(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)
KING: Ev'ry single person in this group must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.
Everyone outside of USA:
US First responder here, Just some info for folks, you only get billed if a private ambulance company or a fire department transports. The medical service provided by your local fire department or FD/municipal paramedic is free. Call us when something goes wrong, We will show up and evaluate you/provide care (stop the bleeding, splint the injury, administer epinephrine) free of charge, And then you can have a friend or uber transport you to the hospital (or sign AMA and just stay home if you don’t want to go to the hospital either.)
Also, in a large number of counties, there are public paramedics paid for by the taxpayers, so ALS transport is free. I’d advise researching your local system.
Please don’t avoid calling 911 for a medical emergency because you’re afraid of bills, you have the right to refuse transport which is where the bills occur.
I have to repeat, you will NOT be billed for medical services provided on scene by the fire department/paramedics, And you have the RIGHT to refuse transport even if not going to the hospital will kill you.
I will always reblog
Had to take a bunch of CPR and first aid classes for my job in college. This is what the paramedics who taught us told us every class. Always call the fire department first because they’ll help you but won’t change you thousands of dollars because we pay for them through our taxes.
Yes I re-read my own fics because I wrote them for ME
Wish that bitch would update though.
Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because he’s honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.
That last statement about regret is so important, because so many people don’t understand what it is or what causes it. Anti-choicers exploit this by manipulating pregnant people and creating doubt, which only increases the likelihood of regret, no matter what decision the pregnant person makes. You know what is best for you, even if it takes some time to figure it out.
Willie Parker is a HERO among common people!
Dr. Parker is one of the few things I like about Alabama and we are so fortunate to have him here.
Wow god looks just like how I imagined
willie parker is an icon and has sage, empathetic and apolitical advice about abortions and reproductive rights
Creative & DIY
SO THAT’S HOW THEY FUCKING DO IT
Reblogging this because my entire life, all of my bows have looked like my shoelaces. Wrapping presents is going to be so much more aesthetically pleasing now
THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN
I’VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS FOR SEVEN YEARS
DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW HARD IT IS TO ?????
That last fatal scream tho
THE TERROR IN HIS SCREAM OH GOSH
i’m crying
WAAA-
I will always reblog this on the off chance some other poor soul has been searching for it
IT’S BACK
HOYL SHIT ITS B A CK
IT’S BACK?? ON MY DASH?
re-blogging again xD
what was that we were just saying about still having posts circulating from ridiculous numbers of years ago? 😂
Draining and paving wetlands is just about one of the worst ideas ever. When water can disperse along a winding waterway into soft soil it slows it's movement way down. Slow water deposits sediment instead of eroding it. Plants can grow in it that clean the water and trap more sediment. That increased soil absorbs and slows extra water when there's a larger rain than usual and buffers the effects of even torrential storms.
Fast, straight waterways remove soil, and don't give water a chance to soak in. Often insult is added to injury by paving and armoring the banks (ostensibly to reduce erosion) removing any possibility of absorbing and slowing extra water. Any increase in precipitation upstream means a higher water level. A storm means catastrophic flooding.
Draining wetlands doesn't make more "usable" land, it sets the stage for tragedies.
