I have always, always described Brambly Hedge to those unfamiliar as "gentle hedgerow socialism" without thinking about it too much -- everybody gets everything they need from the Store Stump and nobody seems to be turned away at any time -- and yet now I find myself wondering who stocks the Store Stump (don't talk to me about Mr Apple, he just takes the inventory)

The most obvious answer is that there are other mice and indeed other creatures (like the voles) out there in the fields who are probably bringing stuff in periodically, and who are also permitted to take what they need, we just don't ever see them because the narrative lens of the books focuses on just the hedgerow proximate to the Old Oak Palace and nowhere else, the High Hills and the salt-producing beach notwithstanding

I don't know what paddington is doing on that list, but it made me think of the time someone drew a picture of the queen with paddington after she died, and we had scores of people losing their minds at the idea that paddington bear wasn't the same kind of communist as them

last year i was eating in a fancy, large restaurant when i began to hear a rumble and the distant sound of people chanting ‘potassium, potassium’ and suddenly hundreds of people dressed as bananas flood this restaurant chanting potassium over and over and we were trapped there for a very long time because the bananas would not leave and they were everywhere

i wasn’t joking

[Un]conscionably, Tolkien's works have been severely underrepresented in the world of Tumblr sexymen. Now is[n't] the time to change that.

On a related note, did you know there is a Sexypedia Wiki? The research I do for these polls continues to surprise.

I must not explain the joke. Explaining the joke is the joke-killer. I will face my followers who did not get the joke. I will permit them to pass over me and through me

i hate how they market alexa as a ‘member of the family’ like that’s SO fucking blatantly insidious and terrifying also if i wanted an untrustworthy/cold/emotionless machine in my life i’d just talk to my fuckin father

there's a massive cadre of people on here who can best be described by the phrase "be gay do war crimes"

The thing about Timmy Chalamet is that he’s truly a great actor and he even has good taste in projects and he’s not even overexposed when you calibrate for how overexposed all that group of 25-30 year old big stars are……however something is still off. any time he gets cast in something it feels like that movie instantly turns into a parody of a movie. I cannot explain this

imo they should fill the Chicago rat hole because it is a safety hazard but they should use a precious metal like silver or gold
