Your hometown has “culture,” but does it have a 13 foot, bright orange, bug-eyed t-rex with weirdly human teeth

We are not the same

Oh yeah? Well my hometown has this fine late Victorian lad.

An allegedly real not at all shitty fake frog taxidermy that tourists pay real money to look at.

We have BLUCIFER. Killed his creator.

My hometown has this massive Paul Bunyan statue on top of a Cafe.

I see your Paul Bunyan and raise you The Big Chicken.

I see your large poultry and raise you Communist Cookie Monster mural.

This guy was at the center of a citywide mystery that tore neighborhoods apart in bitter rivalries and led dozens of people to write an anonymous con artist on the mayoral ballot.

You’re right. My home town had none I’d these. Just a funky lookin clock.

We have a drunken pink elephant with glasses.

And The Lauterbach Man (he used to hold a tire but it was replaced after 9/11. he also lost his head during a huge tornado about 10-ish years ago)

A large metallic Buck made of bumpers from cars that were totaled when they hit a big normal Buck.

Creepy Abe Lincoln at the State Fairgrounds

And the Corndog Couple.

Oh! And the auto parts store that has metal men ready to defend their property. Pretty sure they come alive at night.

We’ve got this fuckin thing. Everyone knows about Nessie, but Kingsley is the hero we deserve.

(Disclaimer: near me, not same town sadly)

We got fiberglass bison in random locations. This one is outside my favorite bookstore. Her name is Pearl.

Big blue bug!!!!!

They dress him up for the holidays

But my personal fav is this guy. Covid conscious big blue bug!!!!

not a permanent thing but I was reminded of my hometown’s annual Festive Lobster Traps for christmas. there are lights on there.

We just have Harvey the Rabbit. No big deal.

The thing as a kid was to wave and yell “Hi Harvey!” Whenever the rare occasion came up that we drove past him. Now I pass him every day to and from work. I sometimes still say hi

So that Bison is a leftover from when lots, and I do mean lots, of towns used their staple something as art projects. Bison wherever that is, crabs in Baltimore, dolphins somewhere in Florida, ect

I think it was around 2003 or 4, maybe even earlier. Everyone got really cool things to paint or decorate in some way. Ya know what we (well the big town near me) got?

Chairs

Yeah….big giant chairs, bigger than that bison. Like 3 people could comfortably sit side by side on one 😂 there’s only one left that I know of, and it’s inside our local community theater (so I can’t find any pictures of them sadly), BUT! Not long after that they decided, “let’s do that again that was fun!” And did bus benches

This is just a few of them and they’re still everywhere in my county!!

I’m trying to think if we have anything actually weird but uh…cept for the now deceased chairs and walkway arch (we do not speak of the walkway arch) I think fun painted benches is it

Starting a new thread of insane shit I over hear my husband say to our toddler.

2. “Come now my child.”

*bluey the album starts playing*

3. “Oh I am so sorry. You’ve been mildly inconvenienced. How dare I truly”

4. “It is she! Her Majesty, Queen of the Sludge, Keeper of Goo, DJ Baby P (In the House) Dropper of Beats and Clapper of Hands”

5. He is in charge of bathtime and he lifted the ghoul tonight while singing “come with me and you’ll be in a world of baby sanitation” and I laughed so hard I snorted pasta

6. Okay this is more one that he said to me about the toddler but he was home with her while I was at work and I just got this text

7.

“Happy Independence Day Sweetie! Nationalism is a cancer!”

8. This is another one he said to me about her but still it made me laugh so hard I nearly choked

characters who arent canonically gay but whose behavior just makes no sense unless you read them as gay

...

Has everybody heard about the new thing? You’re supposed to go to inspirobot, and your first generated result is what your 2022 is going to be like.

…here’s mine….

uh oh.

…tell me that’s because they’ll keep putting on muscles.

Not sure if this is about being vehemently caring, or indulging in someone’s kink.

…. embrace your inner monsterfucker. alright.

Terrible omen thank you

maybe i should

In which I am both of them

i absolutely set people up to infodump at me, it's one of my absolute favourite ways to learn things! you mean i get to LEARN NEW STUFF from a FRIEND who is INCANDESCENT OVER SHARING? sign me up FOREVER.

I do this with my partner ALL the time! We'll just be sitting there and I'll ask them to share some random thing they researched.

They're a polymath too, so they're forever going to down research rabbit holes of things.

And then they just tell me all about a thing often with pictures and stuff too, and it's so great!

I do this with my bf and star wars all the time. I love learning about it

I never get tired of hearing my partner talk about Muppets

I always wonder how that app designates who is transphobic and who isnt? I wouldnt want to make rash judgements about people on some app

basically the way it works is that people can report a user they think are suspicious, and then the devs will take a look at that user and determine if they’re transphobic or not (and if they are they’ll get highlighted with red etc etc). considering it’s managed by humans and not an algorithm it’s right 90% of the time, but sometimes the devs misinterpret what a person posts or something like that and will mark them down as transphobic when they’re not. still, it’s a great extension and there’s nothing wrong with limiting the possibility of interacting with bigoted people, even if there’s a bit of human error involved sometimes.

This is about the browser extension Shinigami Eyes btw.

Personally I haven’t seen a case where I’ve looked at a flagged user on Tumblr and not found something blatant pretty quickly but I’m sure it happens. I think flagging Wikipedia articles is also important though, while it’s sorta silly on infamous historical figures like Hitler, it’s actually kind of important for bringing attention to large extant institutions with good PR. Like “progressive” gushing over Pope Francis was popular for a while, around the same time that he was making speeches where he mentioned trans people and nuclear weapons in the same paragraph as threats to the world. Unsurprisingly the Catholic Church is red lol.

It also flags some names as green, when they are trans-friendly! It’s super nice to see a name in green and be able to just know that person would support you, or has supported trans communities

i’ve been using it since may of 2019 and the ONLY times i’ve seen the transphobic ruling be in error was on twitter and the accounts were people who’d stopped being transphobic after getting flagged on there, outside of that nothing and i’d even had a habit of opening a blog and searching “trans” to verify, and every time the ruling was accurately given

additionally since i never see people talk about it, clicking options brings you to a small settings page that allows you to change what colors it highlights trans friendly and transphobic pages/accounts in, which can help if you have a hard time with the default colors, a website’s theme uses the colors you’ve selected making it harder to differentiate the link or you just want to change how it looks

1. Fuck Stalin

2. I wonder what color my username is in shinigami eyes

Futurist culinary thought is terrible like the rest of the ideology but their dish ideas are absolutely hilarious

My sister, who I live with, thought she couldn't get the vaccine because she doesn't have insurance.

We're not really used to "free".... spread the word.

It depends where you go too. I tried to sign up at CVS and it said "free with insurance"

In the US they are not allowed to charge an individual for this vaccine. They are allowed to bill your insurance. Whether you have insurance or not, you will not pay anything.

THERE WILL BE A QUESTION ON THE REGISTRATION ABOUT INSURANCE YOU DO NOT NEED TO FILL IT OUT.

When I registered there was a page for insurance information. We were instructed just to put “no insurance” and keep going.

And for people who have covid, many treatments exist to help reduce suffering and critical situations, so long as you know to ask for them. Also care for covid can be very minimal in some states. Check with your state’s insurance providers. It’s as easy as googling how to get treatment for covid if you have been diagnosed.

His name was George Nkencho. This should not have happened. Don’t let this go. Say his name.

reblog this and tell me in the tags how bad your spotify is

i feel bullied

Do I look like someone who would listen to that ironically?

The fuck’s that supposed to mean?

Big shiny crab song gives me joy, what do you want from me

Out of all the decades I’d expect someone or something to define my tastes, 2000s is probably one of the last ones I would’ve guessed.

Also, jeeze, I guess I really did fuck up my own Spotify results with Sweeney Todd.

Look at this! So cute and inclusive AND I got to include my iconic denim vest 😂 find this awesome Picrew here

I walked by the new cat arcade today and I am shaken.
