Me: oh yeah, if you think school photography is hard now, try imagining doing this with film.
The new girl: what's film?
Me: ... film. Like... film that goes in a film camera.
New girl: what's that mean?
Me: ... before cameras were digital.
New girl: how did you do it before digital?
Me:... with film? I haven't had enough coffee for this conversation
I live for stories like this of knowable Gods.
You meet god and she's mostly dead fish. You ask her why and she says most of the world is dead fish, and she's made herself to appeal to the most common denominator, the everyman funnyman comedy show that runs for eleven seasons but with the entire universe in mind. You ask her how much of the dead fish is your fault, she says it's far less than you'd think, in the grand scheme of things. You ask her if you matter at all. If you can do anything. She shrugs her rotting shoulders and says mattering is a made-up concept, like life, but sure, you can matter if you want to, on some scale. She has many scales. She doesn't know what you mean by 'anything', but you can do everything you can. You ask her if it's enough. She says there's no base requirement for deserving to exist. She's smoking a joint and the smoke filtering out of her gills gathers and forms gas giants and red dwarfs. You ask her if there's any hidden secrets of the universe you should know and she says it's not a secret if she tells, plus it's fun to let you figure it out yourself. You ask her if any of your questions were right questions and she says you worry about being right so much it might keep you from fucking around, which is as close to meaning of life as she ever bothered to make. You don't ask but she says she loves your hair, also your whole being, also your planet. She says she figured out what love is yesterday and is trying it out, which explains the ten thousand rainbows and sudden influx in rains of fish. She offers you a drag of her joint and you wake up half past midnight behind a chain restaurant clutching a smoked salmon. The new stars are winking like they're in on some joke and you're sure if you try hard enough you'll remember what it is.
Thank you đ I appreciate, and I will not give up on dragon fruit
If you've ever been disappointed by dragonfruit, especially if you felt like it tasted like nothing, then I'm like 90% sure you had unripe dragonfruit, which tastes like nothing. There's a small window of time where it tastes amazing. You must have the patience of a hunter. Do not strike until your prey is at its most delicious
Yes itâs the first and last hill.
I know itâs not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
Origami books/diagrams are wild, if they do have written instructions they include lots of beautiful and baffling phrases like âmountain foldâ âvalley foldâ âcrane baseâ, etc. What is this code?!
As a 90â˛s kid, it blows my mind that origami youtube videos exist. You can look up any model and watch a pair of manicured hands assemble the thing in real time, in full color, in 3D, with cheerful flute music in the background. When I was little, you had a library book with no words and these esoteric little dotted lines and arrows and it was just you, your hands, your paper, and the cruel, uncaring eyes of God.
Please take a look at these videos, and talk with your friends and family who own cats about these automatic cat litter boxes. These types of litter boxes should not be allowed to be sold, sadly thereâs no regulations. I feel so sad for the kitties that were victims to these, and I feel so bad for their owners. đ
i don't usually make posts like this, but this is a truly upsetting topic to me as a lifelong cat owner, so i feel i have a duty to share my knowledge with others.
there is a type of automatic litterbox for cats being sold that is EXTREMELY dangerous and has killed numerous cats through blunt force trauma, suffocation, etc. this litterbox is being sold under different brand names and logos, so i will include the picture of the model and two links to informational videos with more evidence and eloquence than i am able to provide.
please consider not having this type of litterbox in your home for your furry friends. me and my 16 year old tortie, puddy, want the best for all your kitty friends

here are my two video links that provide proof and testimonials of this harmful product:

The cat is in the way.
This is a basic fact of the universe, simple and immutable. Â The sun is shining, the wind is blowing, the cat is in the way. Â The world is spinning, the atomic structure of the universe is decaying, the cat is the way. Â The faithful pray, the apostate condemn, and the cat is in the way.
How is the cat always, inevitably, unavoidably, in the way? Â When did we get a cat, anyway? Â How did that cat get in here? Â Hey, is anyone willing to take responsibility for this cat? Â Can someone tell me whose cat this is?
No.
No, no one can tell you whose cat this is. Â No, no one is going to take responsibility for that cat. Â No, no one let the cat in, and the cat is in the way because it is the nature of cats to be in the way. Â If the cat were not in the way, something much more terrible than the cat might rise in its absence. Â The cat occupies space to ensure that the space is occupied, because the space will be occupied, whether it is by the cat or by something far more terrible. Â The cat is doing you a favor. Â Do not count the catâs eyes. Â The catâs eyes are none of your concern. Â The cat can see you. Â Isnât that enough?
Isnât it enough that the cat is being generous enough to protect you from the terrible thing that would be looking at you with some uncounted number of eyes if the cat were not there? Â Isnât it enough that the cat is soft, and the cat is purring, and the cat is in the way?
Isnât it enough?
Let it be enough.
The cat loves you. Â The cat will love you even into the void. Â The cat will forgive you for your frailties, and the cat is in the way.
The cat is always in the way.
