There is joy in just picking the colours that feel good today and doing something, without really knowing what the result will be. Pure joy of painting. :D
ever since i learned abt the concept of networking i knew i was going to have to do everything alone and do it the hard way

yeah i couldn’t be trusted with a penis id get hard from the way the sun shines through the leaves and everyone would hate me
the concept of laika the dog and simon the convict from iron lung being drawn together as the patron saints of one way trips is so unbelievably bittersweet. i saw the film i get it but also. henry passed during production and i think mark would find it very sweet that people have given the film character a dog as a parallel, almost like a partner. thinking about laika too hard makes me cry she deserved so much better than being sent up with no plan for landing her shuttle or even retrieving it.
no one deserves to be left behind to die in the name of advancement.
lol not me posting for the first time in 4 years bc people are making collages again
iron lung is good because on one hand it's like "hey if there was an ocean of blood and we threw a guy down there would that be fucked up or what" but also it's about humanity and the want to survive and the need to survive and what is worth the cost of a life but it's also about the inhuman treatment of criminals and where we draw the line but it's also about simon saying "it's bigger than me" during his self sacrificial act for humanity it's also about "you deserve your freedom. i'm sorry i can't give you that." it's about oh my god i love cosmic horror it's about seeing such an incredibly beautiful and artistic and human and independent film prevail it's about everything and it's about what you are when you're left at the edge of nothing. so yeah the movie is ok
honestly, open warning to anyone who sits beside me on a plane: I’m eating your ass immediately if we crash. I don’t have any religious hang ups. if we’re lost in the Andes in need of rescue, and I start to get a little hungry, I’m eating you. sorry.
oh.
well thanks for letting me know, I’ll rewrite the card I hand out on flights
u can either reach me on tumblr dot com or hand written letter

My husband, an electrician, told me I have to reblog this.
For clarification's sake, is this true everywhere? I ask because I know that different countries have different quality home electricity provision; American home electricity Ain't Great compared with most of Europe, for example. In Wales I have never heard of this being a Thing, but our electricity comes in 240V flavour, so possibly the higher current naturally avoids this issue?
My British husband (not an electrician but electrician-adjacent) says yes this is true in the UK as well - anything that uses a lot of power should be plugged directly into the wall rather than an extension lead
Good to know, thank you!
