if you drink this and hot dr pepper at the same time you’ll reach thermodynamic equilibrium and also die and this is a promise

i actually want to try this

I'm eating some ice cream right now, but after I'm done, I'll show you all my cool penis glasses. Just hang on a second.

My vintage reading glasses with bacula (penis bones) for the arms!

man sure I fucking guess, at this point I'm hardly even fazed that I see glasses with human genital remnants for arms, every day feels like a parody of the real world and every post an echo of madness banging against the walls of reality

I have been informed that these are not human penis bones but likely raccoon penis bones which is a relief but at the same time it is certainly something that I'm relieved that the material is raccoon penis bones

I apologize OP for accidentally accusing you of using human penis bones for your raccoon penis glasses

@smoothestjazz so like, when did you find out that human penii are one of a very short list of the boneless variety?

look it's late I was kinda drunk when I saw this originally and I know it's possible to break your dick so I wasn't really thinking about the fact that breaking doesn't equate to penis-bone-having and I'm willing to take that L

as someone with a human penis I should have quickly caught onto the fact that those were probably not human penis bones

We've all made an embarrassing penis mistake or two, man. Don't even worry about it.

is this the only thing? cool

that post reminds me of my 100% made up belief that dean was mute after mary died UNTIL john pulled him aside and said. now dean. your baby brother’s getting to the age where he’s supposed to be learning how to talk. it’s up to you and me to teach him. he can’t learn very well if you don’t talk, can he? and then the next day dean tugged him out of his crib and onto the floor and said. hi sammy. i’m dean i’m your big brother. dad’s not here right now, but he’ll be back later.

other people: wow 2021 is almost over! can’t believe fall is almost here. yayy pumpkin spice latte.

Man…

This was 5 years ago…

jackles is fully hot again. red alert

normal about it

as pointed out to me by @mizrashkiphardi, the now popular sea shanty ‘Wellerman’ is based on the Weller brothers who were Pākeha (European) colonizers and whale-hunters in Aotearoa New Zealand in the 1800s.

They kept Māori people, my people, as hostages, and traded preserved Māori heads (which are considered sacred to my people). They “bought” land off Māori people (which always was 100% legal and consensual, totally /s). They contributed to the colonization, genocide, and harm of indigenous land and indigenous people.

this song should not be sung, it should not be shared.

most people probably don’t know the meaning of the song, or who it’s about, but it should not be spread. their names should not be spread, sung about, or celebrated.

I’m really sorry if I’m misunderstanding, but I’m a little confused. I thought Wellerman was about a whaling ship. Isn’t the song called Wellerman because that was the name of a supply ship?

The Weller Bros were a whaling company based in Aotearoa NZ. Anyone in their employ was called a ‘Wellerman’. In the song it’s used as the name of the supply ship. It’s definitely about the Weller Bros though bc they only paid their employees in sugar and spirits. Not too hard to imagine that there was some artistic license in the song, and it really would be quite a coincidence if it were about some other whalers named ‘Weller’, yknow?

Here’s a link to the page about the song and it’s origins, and the Weller Brothers also have a wikipedia page with more sources and collated information. In case you want to do your own research.

How terrible it is that such hardwork and talent had to be fixed to the song before it’s terribly cruel past came to light. I wish I knew sooner, this message should always be respected but I can’t help but feel sorry for the musicians who were drawn to it not knowing what they were perpetrating.

Much as I do absolutely love sea shanties and I’m glad they’re gaining a lot of popular traction at the moment, I do think it’s difficult to escape that a significant number of them come from a colonialist context. This isn’t uncommon in other forms of folk songs as well, but is especially prevalent among shanties because of their specific popularity among sailors engaging in imperialism. While it’s completely understandable to enjoy folk music purely for aesthetic purposes, and I don’t want to gatekeep that enjoyment, this is precisely why there’s value in learning the context of what you’re singing. It’s often joked about how much of a preamble folk singers will go on before actually getting to the song (and that it’s the same preamble they were doing fifty years ago) but there is a lot of benefit in contextualising songs and still enjoying them so long as you’re doing so with a critical awareness of what’s actually being alluded to.

This is a complex issue and RESPECTFUL discussion is really important.

This is one of those topics where multiple, apparently conflicting, concerns can ALL Be True at the same time.

typically sea shanties were workers songs- they were often about complaining, and resistance. Sometimes these folks songs were the indentured sailors’ only way of expressing their malcontent.  However! some songs we sing now, and call shanties, were actually more about promoting a Glossy Ideal, to make the horrendous sea-trade more acceptable to ‘folks at home’.

Is this a worker’s song, sung by people who were victims of the Wellers? (a labourers’ song, critical of their ‘lords’) Or does this song function to popularize and pacify resistance to white supremacy? (glorification of colonial and imperial violence).

Anyone else constantly on edge because we are in the final stages of late capitalism and these next couple of decades are gonna be make or break for the western world, and this just happens to coincide with the part of my life where I’m supposed to make something of myself :/
