I Put the Timid in Intimidating

handageddon:

I’m stuck. Like, existentially stuck. Small town, no job opportunities, flaky family, you name it. I’ve got potential, big dreams, and a LOT of free time—but absolutely no way to use any of it unless I can raise enough money to finally invest in myself

To start chopping away at my larger goal, I only need to raise $278 a month. I’ve been putting off begging for a while now out of hope I could still find a job to cover that easily, but I’m switching gears

I’m deciding to free up time I was spending job hunting to just fixing things with my own hands. It’ll be slow but I’ve made a lot of progress doing things on my own in the past and I’m ready to start again, but I also can’t leave the money on the backburner anymore.

Please help me!

Just adding on another reason I’m pushing this one so hard. It’s because unlike other times I’ve had to ask you for help, I also had my family to turn to. But I don’t have that support to turn to. I can’t share this with too many IRL peeps without word getting around that I’m being accusatory…

I’m just saying that if you met your first ever nonhuman mammal at six years old, it might be a bit confusing.

Yeah I immediately texted that excerpt to my dad, just to let that filter into his work day. Very upsetting.

I was thinking about that Tumblr post about the toddler who was just finding out that parrots can talk

#wait no sorry#I just can’t get over the fact that you’d be able to meet your first mammal at 6#like 6 years and you don’t at least interact with a DOG?#or a cat

They’re on a spaceship

During WWII, children in London were evacuated to the countryside. For many of them, this meant their first encounter with livestock:

How London Boy Learned Where Milk Comes From

LONDON.—Ernest Brown, minister of health, read the following essay he received from a 10-year-old London East End boy who had been evacuated to the country: “The cow is a mammal. It has six sides, right and left and upper and below. At the back it has a tail on which hangs a brush. With this he sends flies away so they don’t fall into the milk. The head is for the purpose of growing horns and so his mouth can be somewhere. The horns are to butt with and the mouth is to moo with. Under the cow hangs milk. It is arranged for milking. When people milk, milk comes and there never is an end to the supply. How the cow does it I have not yet realized but it makes more and more. The cow has a fine sense of smell and one can smell it far away. This is the reason for fresh air in the country.

“A man cow is called an ox. The cow does not eat much but what it eats it eats twice so that it gets enough. When it is hungry it moos and when it says nothing at all it is because its insides are full up with grass.”

This is one of my favourite bits of writing ever

Fuck yeah he is learning so much

Man cow

That kid absorbed and recapitulated an awful lot of stuff about cows

#i love that you can hear the questions and explanations as this boy no doubt followed someone around getting answers#‘what are those’ 'they’re horns’ 'what are they for’ 'to butt with’#and possibly in a moment of exasperation#'why is its head like that’ 'so it has somewhere to grow horns do you want to play inside while i finish the farm chores’

my first wondertrade in oras and i got a machamp incredible

all it knows is dig

level 31 and it just knows dig

what am i supposed to do with this

is

is this machamp’s name “homo matsuri”

as in

“homo festival”

yea this is good

Some more interesting information:

“Dig” in Japanese was originally “Ana wo horu,” which translates to “Dig a hole,” with the direct object’s being “Ana,” “a hole” and the verb’s being “horu,” “dig.”

The common writing of “ana,” “穴,” is the same as a colloquial term for the buttocks, “ketsu.”

“Horu,” in addition to it’s more standard definition, is also a slang verb meaning “to have anal sex (between two men).”

Your new Machamp is named “Homo Festival,” and it’s only move is to fuck a man in the ass.

I had a hunch so I looked into it, and I’m pretty convinced now that it being lv31 is also a pun, via goroawase (matching numbers phonetically to create words). there’s a lot of different ways you can do goroawase due to most digits having multiple possible pronunciations, but there’s one particular reading here that stands out:

3 can be san or mi. 1 can be ichi, hi, or to.

mito is a polite archaic word for genetalia.

its name is Homo Festival, its level is penis, and its only move is to fuck a man in the ass. a masterwork.

listen. I know we all hate commercialization and all the black Friday megacorp bullshit but a lot of the US had pretty bad storms this weekend and many independent bookstores that were counting on small business Saturday got really screwed so if you have a cool local indie please buy your books there in the coming weeks. Giant retailers truly do not need your $35 but a sale like that makes all the difference to these shops

If you’re an ebook reader, you can now purchase ebooks through Bookshop.org! As long as you set up an indie bookstore as your benefactor, they get a cut of every sale. Libro.fm works the same way with audiobooks.

The nice thing about both of these methods is that you can support indie bookstores that aren’t nearby. (Like, for example, some of the stores that had to close over the weekend due to winter weather.)
