Like something you’d find on one of those soft/pale/rosy/grunge blogs?
Well nothing too rosy on my blog.
The Bolton Strid in England is one of the most innocent looking streams.
Though it looks like you could just hop across the rocks, but if you miss you will die for sure. It packs very rapid currents just a couple of feet below its surface. No one really knows how deep it really is. Nobody who has ever fallen into the Strid has survived. It has a 100% fatality rate.
It’s always the things I google expecting to be false that wind up being horribly true.
“It’s relatively common for people to assume they can jump the creek, walk across its stones or even wade through it (again, just looking at it, the Strid really seems to be only knee-deep in places, and certainly not the instant, precipitous drop into a watery grave that it is). Most of the time, they never even find the body. Which means there are just dozens of corpses down there, pinned to the walls of the underground chasms, waiting for you to join them…”
Holy shit, that is TERRIFYING.
Of course they never find the bodies. Those souls are on the other side now. Some went home, some went visiting, and all are gone for now.
Do take care when visiting the Strid to mind the gap.
$60 for a 5 oz tube, vs. A&D ointment at $10 for a 1 lb tub. This is really hard, y'all.
Kiehl’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve is ridiculously moisturizing. It’s one of the most immediately and obviously effective moisturizers you’ll ever use, going on thick and packed with olive oil, sesame oil, shea butter, aloe, and ecualyptus, to name a few good things.
If you’re in the Trump administration and think it’s a problem to have a woman playing male members of your administration, as the president reportedly did after last week’s amazing sketch starring Melissa McCarthy as Press Secretary Sean Spicer, then you’re in for a real treat this week.
A series of tweets from bogiperson on Twitter which reads:
“can someone explain why all of a sudden everyone is leaving out the I from LBGTQIA -> LBGTQA? most intersex people are in favor of including
(if you need a citation for that, there is some data about acronym preferences for US intersex adults in Contesting Intersex)
and the whole “let’s exclude the I from the acronym” was afaik started by non-intersex parents of intersex children and is purely anti-queer
and if you are in the SFF community specifically - i do not know a SINGLE intersex person in SFF who wants to be excluded from the acronym.”
Actually we should have stopped after LGBT. Non binary and intersex aren’t concepts.
Non-binary gender is a widespread and ancient ‘concept’ in more cultures than it isn’t.
Intersex isn’t a ‘concept,’ it’s a medical diagnosis.
You know what is a concept, though? Adding enbyphobic and intersexphobic people to block lists. Get the entire fuck out, my patience is gone tonight.
@vaspider thank you, I was unaware of this and will make the necessary mental switch to including it. Also look at that, my blocklist just grew too, how about that.
my rooster doesn’t crow when the sun rises, he crows when he hears humans wake up, like you can literally just roll over in bed and he’s like “hoLY SHIT THAT’S A PEOPLE THE HUMAN ISAWAKE AHHH AHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
the same rooster - god guys he’s socute - he always lets hens eat treats first and won’t have any treats until they’ve had as much as they want, unless it’s a blueberry. shit, blueberries are like serious fucking business for Pharaoh. he’s a gentleman until the damn blueberries come out and then he don’t play no fuckin games
in case you were wondering this is him
It’s been almost a year since I made this post so I guess I should update you guys on Pharaoh!
He’s still a sweetie but with more attitude and will fuck up your shit if he’s grumpy or if you’re wearing shoes with shoelaces. He doesn’t like that. He watches Netflix with me a lot and cries anytime theres explosions or gunshots in a show. He has so many chicken lady friends who he adores and he has fathered 4 chicks. I tried to train him to walk on a leash but he protested by laying down and refusing to move, so we gave that up after a while. He likes to guard me from cars and squirrels, and even plastic bags (which are his worst fear)
This is exactly what I meant when some swerf claimed that decriminalisation increases trafficking…like if you’re short sighted (metaphorically obv) and just look at the figures I guess you would come to that conclusion, but it’s fairly obvious that THIS^^^ is the reason why trafficking figures seem higher in decrim areas. Criminalising sex work helps no one but the egos of swerfs and religious fanatics.
“I don’t see what’s the deal with leaving the toilet seat up. Or down! The toilet isn’t BROKEN. Every new person walking in can just adjust it to their needs. Just look before you pee!”
- totally reasonable flatmate™
Manslation: “I don’t see what’s the deal with having consideration for others! Obviously the rest of the world should revolve around whatever I decide is best for my lazy ass.”
this blog is usually good but this is just useless imo
pssst we’re capable of having thoughts about more than one thing at the same time
i understand that i just think that this is a trivial thing to worry about in general
making a post about something does not mean it’s necessarily super important to us, tho. things have varying degrees of significance. this is obviously not a world-ending issue but it’s not like there’s a limited number of tumblr posts that must be saved for SRS BZNS ONLY.
that said it’s nasty to leave the toilet seat open at all when flushing. contain the germs!!!!! CONTAIN THEM FOR MY SAKE IF NOTHING ELSE
Also like has no one ever gone into the bathroom at night with the light off, or with their glasses off, and nearly sat down and got stuck in the toilet? I mean.
Put the seat down. You filthy creature. D:
I think the real question is why you wouldn’t just put the lid down? Who wants to be in a bathroom with an open toilet?? That’s something always grosses me out D:
Maybe leaving toilets open is an american thing..
See I’d rather everyone did that too but I’d settle for just always putting the damn seat down, and also not peeing on the damn seat.
THIS IS ONE WONDERFUL FELLOW, FOLKS, THE RED TOOTH TRIGGERFISH IS A FISH I FOUNd WHILE SURFING GOOGLE IMAGES, TRYING TO SHOW ONE OF MY FRIENDS HOW WEIRD TRIGGERFISH LOOK.
LOOK AT THIS WONDERFUL FUCKING FISH, MY FRIENDS. IT’S LIKE IT FOUND SOME FUCKIGN CANDY CORN ON THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN AND STUCK THEM IN IT’S MOUTH AND WENT AROUND BEING A GOOF-ASS VAMPIRE.
All hysterical cackling about this creatures FUCKING TEETH aside, this fish is really really beautiful and I love it, and the teeth are just icing on the cake honestly, look at this majestic creature:
Red toothed triggerfish can get to around 50 centimeters long, which is about 20 inches. That’s a pretty big boy! Despite it’s teeth, the red toothed trigger is actually a pretty peaceful noodle. It’s a big gentle dorky looking candy corn vampire and I love it. 10/10 perfect fish, would give them all my candy corn.

“An important point to note. Ret. Gen. Michael Flynn just resigned amidst a counter-intelligence investigation into, among other things, his communications with the Russian Ambassador to the United States. But only three or four hours before Flynn resigned, the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee (House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence), Devin Nunes, said there was no problem and it was just the President’s enemies (“the swamp” in his words) making trouble. “It just seems like there’s a lot of nothing here,” Nunes told Bloomberg’s Steven Dennis.”
Hillary Clinton used her “leftover campaign cash” to make sure her campaign staff had health insurance through the end of the year even after their jobs ended, because that’s who Hillary Clinton is.
I can’t imagine being someone like Betsy DeVos. She’s worth billions of dollars. She could retire forever on an island somewhere. But she chose to go through a grueling public humiliation just for the opportunity to take school away from poor kids. Could you even imagine being that depraved.
"Resigned?" Not, "arrested, and tried for treason?"
Embattled National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has resigned in the face of a mounting scandal related to his communications with the Russian government.
Two sources tell CNN Michael Flynn has resigned as National Security Adviser.
The resignation capped a day of political turmoil for Flynn and the White House. Just hours earlier, all 17 Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform signed a letter demanding a full investigation of Flynn's alleged discussions of sanctions with the Russian ambassador to the US during the month before President Trump took office.
The White House took contradictory positions on Flynn Monday. Senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway first insisted that Flynn enjoyed "the full confidence of the president," but less than an hour later, Sean Spicer, the press secretary, announced Trump was "evaluating the situation."
But a bombshell news report on Monday night by the Washington Post appeared to finally set Flynn's resignation in motion. The Post reported that then-Acting Attorney General Sally Yates told the White House in late January that she believed "Flynn had misled senior administration officials about the nature of his communications with the Russian ambassador." The paper reported that Yates had "warned that [Flynn] was potentially vulnerable to Russian blackmail."
In a resignation letter posted by the White House soon after the news broke, Flynn admitted that he had “inadvertently” provided “incomplete information” to Vice President Mike Pence about the content of his calls to the Russian ambassador.
BREAKING: Mike Flynn has RESIGNED his post as national security adviser, White House sources tell me.
Flynn's resignation was accepted late Monday by President Trump who named Lt. General Joseph Keith Kellogg, Jr. as Acting National Security Adviser.
Here's the full text of Flynn's resignation, courtesy of the White House:
In the course of my duties as the incoming National Security Advisor, I held numerous phone calls with foreign counterparts, ministers, and ambassadors. These calls were to facilitate a smooth transition and begin to build the necessary relationships between the President, his advisors and foreign leaders. Such calls are standard practice in any transition of this magnitude.
Unfortunately, because of the fast pace of events, I inadvertently briefed the Vice President Elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian Ambassador. I have sincerely apologized to the President and the Vice President, and they have accepted my apology.
Throughout my over thirty three years of honorable military service, and my tenure as the National Security Advisor, I have always performed my duties with the utmost of integrity and honesty to those I have served, to include the President of the United States.
I am tendering my resignation, honored to have served our nation and the American people in such a distinguished way.
I am also extremely honored to have served President Trump, who in just three weeks, has reoriented American foreign policy in fundamental ways to restore America's leadership position in the world.
As I step away once again from serving my nation in this current capacity, I wish to thank President Trump for his personal loyalty, the friendship of those who I worked with throughout the hard fought campaign, the challenging period of transition, and during the early days of his presidency.
I know with the strong leadership of President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence and the superb team they are assembling, this team will go down in history as one of the greatest presidencies in U.S. history, and I firmly believe the American people will be well served as they all work together to help Make America Great Again.
Michael T. Flynn, LTG (Ret) Assistant to the President / National Security Advisor
