god fucked up making komodo dragons super venomous aggressive and all around unsuitable for domestication. those beafts should be in our homes
if i had this thing in my lap i think everything would be alright i bet it would love being scratched on the head if it wasnt already so fond of chewing me and empoisoning me and smacking me hard with its horrible tail
this isn’t a moral statement so please dont’ take it that way but. to me i dont think tumblr trying to make money necessitates backlash considering if it doesn’t make money it will simply cease to exist. i genuinely really like tumblr and don’t want it to go under, so i’d rather they find a way to make a chunk of their money off stupid little features rather than inundating their userbase with ads and selling their data.
idk whats funnier: that tumblr got people to spend multiples of $7.99 to add fake verification checkmarks to their blog to “"make fun of”“ twitter’s latest fuckup, or that these checkmarks literally do not show up for mobile users and thats why i had no idea this amazing feat of opportunistic capitalism was even happening until just now
what you don’t get is science exists because people can love. medicine exists because people love each other enough to want each other to live long healthy lives. astronomy exists because someone loved the stars and the planets enough to track them through their ever changing position in the darkest night. science exists because humans are curious little creatures and we want to know the world around us and understand it like it does us. we know stars and planets worlds away, we’ve sent cameras worlds away, all because we love the universe, and we also put love in those satellites!! we sent the sound of a 100 languages, lovely messages, the sound of rain and a laugh, all out there just in case there’s someone in the universe looking for us like we do them, and so that they know that they were never alone, and we sent them the most simple loving things we could find.
that picture of the little boy holding a puppy and smiling with the writing on the bottom that says hi daddy this is my doggy chelsea isn’t she cute i love you and the picture of the cat with the writing that says our michael… pet photos of all time
i understand disliking ads but getting mad on a blazed post of a cats 5th birthday makes me think… perhaps we are losing the thread here
someone spent a lil money to show everyone their beautiful cat and you can’t spend 1 post outside your curated timeline to just ignore it or wish her happy birthday. you are being sold nothing. you are being shown a daisy out of concrete and getting mad. do you spit at the sun when it sets for interrupting the day
I cannot express how important it is to brush your teeth and floss regularly. It’s especially important as so many people don’t have dental coverage and that preventative work saves you so much pain and money in the long run. I know it sucks and it is so hard, but you’ll also feel so good after doing it. And when you start doing it regularly, you’ll find your mouth and gums feel so much better. If you’ve already done it today, good job! I’m so proud of you and so happy for you!
This is the first tumblr blaze post I’ve seen that’s made me go “actually yes, it’s good if people see this”
‘dont beat yourself up about it, just do it EVERY time you think of it, abandon the rule that it needs to be done before sleeping or after eating or after waking or whatever your unspoken rule is, do it whenever actually makes you do it, when you shower, when you take a shit, literally whenever it occurs, also listerine is better than nothing if you cant take the brush feeling, floss picks are super useful too’
i’d also add that there’s no shame in using 'kid’s’ brushes or toothpaste, if you cant handle the bristles or the mint/menthol/etc then by all means use the tools better suited to your needs, go for the real soft bristles and go for the bubblegum flavored toothpaste, whatever gets you actually DOING it is going to be better for you than not doing it at all
also dont neglect brushing your tongue, its not quite AS important as the rest but it does go a long ways towards the 'you’ll feel good after doing it’ aspect i promise
