Mason @realMasonMohon : 1h

You have a pride flag in your bio. You obviously think marriage is a term with no actual content that can be applied to anything. No wonder we say you don’t understand marriage

Ephraim Stone @TEStoneWrites - ih

The rainbow in my bio is a reminder that G-D will never again bring destruction to creation, that His covenants are eternal, that his word is unfailing, and that His gifts to my foremothers and forefathers are everlasting.

Apologies for misunderstanding. As I’m sure you know, many others use it to represent something else

Gonna tell my kid this is Sugar Ray

Then explain to my kid who Sugar Ray was

and then explain who Sugar Ray Robinson was

And then maybe try to explain who Lit was but by then they're definitely going to be doing something else

a screenshot of the music video through the spotify player for My Own Worst Enemy by Lit
Video shows a dark haired guy with sideburns in a wife pleaser, looking the most fucking late 90s/early 00s as humanly possible while singing into the camera

All for you, baby

Today is David Graeber's birthday. He'd have been 65 years old today.

His ideas are still here and his message is more important than ever before which must remind us that a better world is possible.

“The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently,”

Yes, Quark, what exactly IS this “Thirsty Thursday” special I keep hearing about? How thirsty am I? Oh, I’d say pretty thirsty—extremely thirsty? Well, I dunno about that I’m pretty hydrated—would I say I’m “a thirsty, thirsty boy”? I mean, I’m a man, but sure—

This is amazing. I love birds!

fun fact: hawks are predators of chickens, and hawks and crows are mortal enemies, so chickens have learned to recognize crows' squawks as a kind of alarm bell. we're lucky enough to have crows in our neighborhood, and whenever they start squawking, our chickens know to take shelter.
