It’s a normal Ethiopian name as far as I can tell.

I guess so. I do that with my own pain, I’d think people would be upset if I did it with theirs.

Our queer siblings being horrifically abused doesn’t make us cool or quirky, it’s a tragedy.

I mean I can’t find a result for “‘blimpson’ ‘surname’” that isn’t in reference to this post. Can’t find a reason to believe it.

Sonic: oh no they took my chili dog

Shadow: oh no they shot a 12-year-old right in front of me

Truly the most game series ever

There’s a Tumblr account that makes a ton of these. Not the first to do it, but I think the only person keeping the meme alive in 2024.

I always have to point and go “you see that thingy between the aisles??” because I don’t know what else to call it.

But heads up to non-retail folk, we call the long free-standing coolers and freezers in action alley the middle of the floor bunkers.

We call that middle section with bunkers and four-ways smaller grocery displays “action alley”. God knows why.

That must have been miserable for opposite reasons than my experience. :( Not fair that some people had to do that, but not enough to actually keep the numbers down.

These comics always confuse me because I forget anyone other than children had to stay home (and even that didn’t last too long)

People will accuse you of condoning a trans person’s shitty actions if you gender them correctly, then turn around and use the proper pronouns for literal dictators

Not advocating witch hunts but it’s a bit weird to call someone a man if you don’t know them. I see people on Tumblr a lot call trans women “man” and “dude” and then go “how was I supposed to know??” when corrected. Why make up genders for them in the first place?

I stared at this for longer than I’d like to admit wondering what the shoe had to do with things

Frankly I’m not sure either of those things would help, the US would always find another excuse for all this death and destruction. I’d have be careful that whatever measures I took to stop Bush would become the new excuse for some atrocity we were already going to commit.

But if my 8yo ass could manage it, I’d stop Bush. Then I’d play toys. It’s 2001 and Ello Creation System is about to hit the market. I won’t lose all the small pieces this time. I’ve learned from the previous timeline.

As an anticapitalist butch I’ll be VERY careful not to accidentally press the button when I destroy it

Honestly it’d be horrifying to wake up in the 90s again with an adult awareness of where the world is heading, and that it was already headed this way because we were knee-deep in capitalism and colonialism.

I liked playing with toys though.

I feel like the odd one out because I don’t care that it’s a plant I just find horny anime faces really unattractive.

I’m not in the “would” or the “ewwwww” camp. I have standards but they’re stupid standards, I guess.

Didn’t this happen in Thomas the Tank Engine

It’s like a sweetened, fizzy sassafras drink. Pretty good depending where you get it.

The USA has a weird thing where we use the words for alcoholic drinks to describe non-alcoholic ones. We also call spiced fruit drinks “cider” and actual cider “hard cider”. Not sure why.

Maybe Homer’s got shit he’s not telling Marge

Just because you’re aro or aroace doesn’t mean you don’t understand heartache and loss. When we empathize with fictional characters, is it because we’ve been through exactly what they’ve been through? Doubtful, because then fantasy wouldn’t exist. But we’ve had similar emotions, so it resonates.

I don’t really see why songs would be any different.
