OBSCURE WORD OF THE DAY (7/16/23)
Flashover
Noun. The moment a conversation becomes real and alive when a spark of trust shorts out the delicate circuits you keep insulated under layers of irony, momentarily grounding the static emotional charge you've built up through decades of friction with the world.
So, sometime in the middle ages there was an uptik in the demand for beef. The church, who had a ton of cows cuz they were fucking rich, had their own stalls and/or provided stalls with meat. They definitely did *not* have enough cows to meet the high daily demand for beef and, on a related note, they were the ones who prepped the dead for burial in their cemetery.
Love disabled people who just lie about their disabilities to nosy, intrusive questions. Sorry, yeah, I lost my arm in the wash one day. It's funny how that happens! Oh, I got back pain from saving nineteen children from a burning fire department <3
Thank you for including us
Happy pride month to all of yall but especially to asexuals, aromantics, straight trans people, and everyone who's in the closet
Contextless quotes from me/my friends with no indication of who said what:
"Look away for .5 seconds and you have a smush child"
"Is cruise control on? Oh wait, we're going down a hill"
"Same as when I broke you and them with all those subs I take?"
"I’m warm, i’m tall, i can build furniture, i don’t stream."
"Most of my vehicle mishaps happen bc I cannot see so that’s a plus at least XD"
I did not ask if they wanted their quotes on tumblr
My favorite childhood show predicted the future on my birthday! Kim Possible is always a win
Sometines I have the urge to tell people that I have found a really old bible, a pentagram and various wax sealed bottles filled with nails and random shit behind a wall during a diy project. The reason? So I can watch chaos decend as people with adequately funtioning common sense and reasoning skills scream at me to put it all back. Why else?
I could not have asked for a better responce for this 😂 Thank you
I dare you to motivate me to study.
The child lives if you study

Timothy Drake Wayne, youngest CEO, Times person of the year a year ago (you choose why), and all around impressive business individual is easily recognizable wherever he goes…so long as he’s in a suit. As a CEO Timothy is both a staunch professional and a blatant gen z kid which makes him somewhat beloved and well known by everyone across the county.
But then Tim is wandering around Gotham in a pair of jeans and a flannel over long sleeves and no body takes a second glance.
He’s sitting at the skatepark laughing at “Timothy Drake Wayne funniest moments” compilations with other skaters while they take a break and no one knows the video is about him.
Timothy has to take a public flight and the guy at security checks his ID and then looks up at Tim like “hey you have the same name as that one kid CEO.” And it takes everything in Tim’s power to not immediately respond with “that’s because he is me?” Instead he slaps on the biggest grin and says “what a weird coincidence.”
He’s dressed down sitting in first class because he’s not a heathen and he’s gonna be stuck in a suit for this entire conference. The entire time this lady next to him kept scoffing about his appearance and how he probably never worked for a thing in his life. About how the quality of this aircraft company is going down if they’re letting people like Tim occupy first class. Tim, meanwhile, immediately clocked this woman as the CFO of a company WE was considering partnership with. Lol, fat chance that goes through now.
Tim keeps a suit at Wayne Tower for the emergency meetings he sometimes gets called into. He’s heading into the building when the security of the visiting company shoves him out of the way cause they assume he’s some teen. Needless to say that when he walks into the conference room cleaned an suited up, he found complete delight on watching all the blood drain from their face.
Tim makes fun of Superman because he doesn’t even have to wear glasses to get away with his secret identity. He’s not even trying to hide and people still look over him in a crowd when he’s not in a suit.
Some shady company is trying to buy the skatepark Tim regularly visits and has bribed the GCPD to arrest kids for “loitering” or “trespassing.” Or something. Tim gets arrested one time, sends a snap selfie like “lol got arrested.” and then buys the land the skate park is on and also the company that tried to buy it to build a resort.
There is an entire hashtag full of selfies people have taken with a dressed down Tim out and about in Gotham all captioned with something like “lol, I found our favorite teenage CEO’s doppelgänger!”
