many disturbing elements of this AIslop Etsy blanket, not least of which being that none of the characters are engaged with each other but instead are fixated on small objects everything on the shelves behind them came straight out of the Backrooms

the longer I look at this thing the more it feels like the second part of a Highlights Magazine "Spot The Difference" puzzle, surely surrounding small children with imagery like this cannot be developmentally great for them

obviously many more important takeaways from the French approach to protest, but much respect to the absolute varsity level Whimsy of throwing a whole ass piano at the cops

It has been brought to my attention that this footage is from 2018. Further investigation led to an image of the event from an alternate angle, revealing that this was not a piano at all, but some kind of desk. Alas! Respect and solidarity to anyone resisting state violence, piano notwithstanding.

It feels like the spiritually correct spelling of this product should be "Extreme Sport Beanz," but I guess Jelly Belly was trying to keep their caffeinated jelly beans classy

Today in Women's Health: I got a Rx with directions to "insert into vagina, as close to the cervix as possible" prior to my IUD placement appt. However, you may recognize this as Not A Suppository. Doctors really got me out here fashioning a makeshift insertion device from just *whatever* I guess

I called just to be sure I wasn't misunderstanding something and the nurse was like "you'd be surprised how far you can get it up there" Um, no ma'am, this is not my first object insertion rodeo. I will in fact not be at all surprised, and I'm telling you this thing isn't even getting close

I had never heard of "pet rent" before moving to Columbus. In every other place I'd lived the standard was a one time, nonrefundable pet deposit. I currently pay $360 every year for just one cat, more than any single pet deposit I'd ever paid, and adding up to thousands in total so far.

BREAKING NEWS: The Seattle City Council just passed legislation that will (eventually) ban landlords from charging pet rent. Congratulations to everyone, especially my dog Lou, seen here asking me to cover him again for the 72nd month in a row.

Preparing for the start of a new semester and once again distraught by this

It has finally reached a point where a .6mm Rapidograph pen is both too expensive and difficult to find, and I can no longer justify asking the students in my Lettering class to get one. Truly the end of an era 😞🙏

one of my favorite parts of doing historical research is the many layers of increasing absurd sub-headlines that were just a normal part of this era of newspaper publishing "SHE JUST GRABS THEM" lmao this kills me

back on the apps after a dating hiatus and dismayed to report several now have baked-in AI offering unsolicited punch-ups to your profile content

Why is my dentist offering me anti-aging facial rejuvenation laser treatments? Like can I please get my teeth cleaned without the suggestion that I'm so busted it requires medical intervention

this is your ~sign~ to take like 5 minutes and make a little cardboard cutout template of your most commonly used page size spread that you can just trace when you have a lot of thumbnails to do!!!!

Hey Columbus! See you TONIGHT at Kafé Kerouac at 7:30pm! We've got a whole bunch of cartoonists reading their work with live improvised music accompaniment from Prestidigitation 🎶

This one hit me hard 💔

The rollercoaster THRILL of reading Judy Blume books and thinking that menstruation involved wearing a special belt with hooks, and then learning that they make self-adhesive pads now. We can't take this from kids

this article is full of views so alien to my own it might as well be from medieval times

I sincerely believe that any member of the Cabinet could be replaced by either member of ICP and we’d be better off

Insane Clown Posse is an unusual name for a band and a hauntingly accurate description of senior Trump administration officials and GOP leadership.

This has been my system for years, very effective if you take meds at night

pro tip for the chronic illness girlies who keep forgetting whether they took their medication or not: put the bottle upside down when you go to sleep, put it back right side up when you wake up :)

I know we're all very into early 00s nostalgia these days but launching a senseless war in the middle east is really taking it too far imo
