Reblogging To Remember What Is Being Lost. It Wasn't Just The Navajo Either. The Cherokee And Comanche

Idea: A Day in the Life

Wii wakes up and makes toast for breakfast (What are they thinking about 🤔)

Then they drive to work

I ran out of pics :(

how life feels after a salad and 64 oz of water

"Taking inventory of the fucks which one gives"

Manager: Has anyone taken inventory yet?

Supervisor: I put 2 whole new hires on it.

Manager: We'll meet quota, right? We need at least 11 fucks to give come next quarter. (Corporate told them 46k)

Supervisor: Well, we're down by two elf percent since last quarter, not counting July.

New Hire #1: I've got the stats on inventory, and...

Supervisor: And what?

New Hire #1.3̅: We're out of fucks to give.

More favourite numerical memes:

Implicit or explicit enumeration of uncountable things (example: taking inventory of the fucks which one gives)

Suggesting the divisibility of things which are not customarily thought of as able to be subdivided (example: "six whole people")

Using words that aren't numbers as numbers (example: "one William dollars")

Technically correct but contextually misleading estimates (example: looking at a group of several thousand things and observing that there are "at least three")

Incongruous qualifiers for apparently simple sums or tallies (example: she was twenty-seven years old, not counting 2014)

so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what

Gwaihir uses the ring's invisibility and just becomes the wind, putting Manwë out of a job. Then, of course, Manwë would be furious at Mithrandir for giving the ring to the eagles and fires him.

I know that the nitpicking over why the Fellowship didn’t just ride the eagles to fly directly to Mordor has been talked to death, there’s more than enough answers. The Doylist answer is that would stop the whole book from existing, or replace it with a wholly different book all about eagles. The Watsonian answer is that a) the eagles are a noble independent people not a taxi service, b) the quest is a stealth mission and huge massive giant eagles are not stealthy, c) Mordor has air supremacy and the eagles could only fly to Mount Doom after Sauron was defeated and the Nazguls all gone.

But just now, option d) occurred to me: do we really trust the eagles to withstand the ring? If it tempts Gandalf and Galadriel, surely it tempts Gwaihir the Windlord. Do we want to create the Dread Lord of the Skies? He would wear the Ring on his lovely sharp claw! He would fly higher and swifter than the winds of the world! He would build a magnificent nest from the broken timbers of Edoras! He would eat so many people! All elves and men would be forced underground!

Fucking food purist.

I got that toasted ciabatta grindset.

Anyone know what a ciabatta chicken sandwich is? It's like ciabatta bread, pesto, tomatoes, basil, and balsalmic glaze? And like, the bread is toasted. Oh, and theres mozzarella too. And you're just eating it, and it's just the most scrumptious thing, so you shove it into your face orifice with little to no regard for safety. And then the bread is super toasty, and you are taking big bites out of it, and it's really tasty, but the next thing you know it's over and the roof of your mouth is bleeding and raw from the sharp, toasty ciabatta bread?

Or is this an incredibly specific experience that no one relates to?

"Ah yes, John Arcane. He must have a respectable career of doing Job at Place."

will never forget the person in a worldbuilding Discord whose setting had John Arcane be the "inventor of magic" JOHN ARCANE

INVENTOR OF MAGIC

What if it's friday night?

I like the idea that Aragorn "gatekeeping" is just, keeping a gate. Like, straight up defending a fortified gate with the gang. Get gatekept out of Helm's Deep fool.

tag yourself or don’t i am all of them because i said so
