Bad News, Euclid Fans! I Just Disproved His Assertation That Parallel Lines Don't Intersect For Their

This may seem silly but this is what I needed to hear in 2016, so I’m going to say it now. It’s okay to feel hopeless or angry or scared or betrayed or even just mildly nauseous. However you feel is the right reaction for you. You’re just not allowed to kill yourself. You are too good, too valuable, too important for this to be the thing that takes you. Yes the world is a mess, but taking one good person out of it isn’t going to make it any better.

So take care of yourself. Wrap yourself in that blanket. Get that hug. Eat that mug cake. Find your life preserver whatever it may be and keep going. You are stronger than you realize.

Deciding to do something when you’re feeling defeated is hard. If all you can take care of is you today, focus on doing that. Tomorrow or a week from now you can look at what your community needs to do to weather the storm in the long term. Yes communities are hurting now, but having to grieve one more person isn’t going to make anyone’s life any better. Please keep going. Please don’t let this election take you too.

just ate a shrimp for the first time, didn’t die, but also unsure of all the hype around them

"dont smoke around your pets" okay well i dont even smoke im asthmatic. my dog smokes bc she needs to fucking chill sometimes and Yeah i light them for her Obviously bc she cant use a lighter. i dont get anyrhing out of this arrangment and i resent the implication. in fact shes giving ME secondhand smoke. so my question is why are you so hateful and jugemental and acting like an asshole to me making presumptions and shit about my life.

Beanie Sandfurbs Hippo Hat

Attached are 8.5" x 11" patterns for print and assemble Beanie Sandfurbs Hippo Hats, to celibrate World Hippopotamus Day, February 15th and the Project for Awesome, February 14-16th! There is a black and white coloring book version and a pre-colored version. For best results print on cardstock and assemble using staples, but tape and copy paper will also work! This year, 2025, World Hippopotamus Day falls during the Project for Awesome. Happy World Hippo Day and P4A to all who celebrate, and keep up the good work of fighting to decrease world suck! I am deeply, deeply terrified of Beanie Sandfurbs, and this hat makes me question many of my life decisions. There are non bean versions posted on my blog as well, but why wear a non bean hat when you could wear a bean hat?

when everything is too much, I sometimes think about that one Jimmy Buffett song, “Bubbles Up”.

“So, when the journey gets long Just know that you are loved There is light up above And the joy is always enough”

Ngl, I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It’s about how wild, sad, and hard life can be, but also how wonderful it can be. You are loved. It will get better, and there will be good parts. The whole song is a masterpiece but that’s my favorite part. I highly recommend giving it a listen

my breakdown picture

There’s certain hobbies and interests that aren’t inherently conservative or regressive but do attract a lot of people who are those things or worse and when you’re a progressive person involved in those hobbies hearing that someone else is interested in your hobby usually has to involve some “But are you normal about it?” conversations before you get too excited

have you raised enough money to keep the hotlines and skype-a-scientist yet? Cause I Will buy another avent calender if i must

We've sold 2025 so far, and to fund the program for 2025 (ok, weird that it's same number, but that's literally the number we sold as of 5pm Eastern lmao), we need to sell about 5000 total. Pretty unlikely that's going to happen but... I can try!
