If you've ever been disappointed by dragonfruit, especially if you felt like it tasted like nothing, then I'm like 90% sure you had unripe dragonfruit, which tastes like nothing. There's a small window of time where it tastes amazing. You must have the patience of a hunter. Do not strike until your prey is at its most delicious

I was cutting my bangs last night and I really need a haircut from growing out a shorter cut so i almost gave myself the s4 jonathan byers cut lol

sometimes i think about the history of coffee culture in islam and how it spread like it’s so funny

discovered by sufis who decided it was a miracle from Allah since it allowed them to stay up late into the night for night worship

miracle beans = UNLIMITED DHIKR

cue scholars debating for years about whether it’s haram or halal and if it should be classified as an ‘intoxicant’ or not

fast forward to 16th century ottoman empire, where a woman had the legal right to divorce her husband if he failed to provide her with enough coffee

europeans called it the “mohammaden gruel” or “devil’s drink” bc they believed it to be a “bitter invention of satan and his followers”

fast forward to pope clement viii finally giving in and tasting it to see what the hype is about and then stating: “This Satan’s drink is so delicious that it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it.”

pope clement viii then proceeds to BAPTIZE THE COFFEE BEANS

Sometimes I almost want myself to get worse because at least then I won't be constantly wondering if I'm overreacting or overplaying the problems/pain my physical issues cause me.

#omg #as someone who has a bunch of mild-medium issues #i feel this so much #imposter syndrome be a bitch sometimes #still doesn't negate the fact i have many hypermobile joints #which cause me pain #not to mention my compression sleeves and actual cane

[wylansworkshop]

My joints the minute it starts raining

I know I'm mutuals with a lot of swifties so my anxiety is going crazy right now about wanting to say anything but like what was that 1830s without the racism shit??

Like I really hope she can take the backlash she's getting for this (if I'm understanding correctly it's really just about 'I hate it here' and 'but daddy I love him') and learn from it bc I don't want to believe she had malicious intent but it did not come through how she wanted it to and she can learn from this

#ive been watching a bunch of black tiktockers talk about the album #and like i was a taylor swift kid #(i also have like my problematic faves artists and fandoms so i also understand if you acknowledge the shit but also enjoy her music #i have some artists/media i do that with too so id be a hypocrite if i said no dont enjoy her music 😡) #but like idk if i can publicly on social media show any support for her #anymore #esp after the songs that so far have been decuded to be about healy #girl #you know better #i hope she hasnt been secretly racist all along #bc i was obsessed with her from like 7-12 and her albums up to red mean so much to me #but girl #1830s without the racism was not needed #pls write a different line #mine #(edit when i say obsessed i mean her music genuinely helped me through trauma i experienced as a kid so i really want continue liking her) #want to*

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

"well one genocide is better than xyz genocides" Have you ever considered that Palestinians are not your sacrificial lambs. have you ever considered we deserve to live just as much as you do

The mischaracterization of people from PJO is so funny, but ESPECIALLY from HOO onward like.

“Hazel’s such an innocent little angel. She’s always nice and kind and confused.”

Hazel, who’s always ready to fight in the same way Percy is? Hazel, who made it explicitly clear she probably would’ve rocked Octavian’s shit had he not been blackmailing her? Who gets so angry on behalf of the people she loves, to the point where she doesn’t forgive those who have wronged them? Who Percy described as cursing up a storm in one of their first interactions? Who’s been shown time and time again to be FAST to anger? That Hazel?

Or Nico, who’s “a misunderstood emo. A small bean. Cute like a wet cat and innocent like a bunny.”

Nico, who’s cannonically described by most characters as “scary and unnerving?” Nico, who, for a long time, is one of the angriest characters in the series? Who’s only sassy and sarcastic because it took him FOUR YEARS to mellow out? Who’s described as being one of the most powerful demigods, who a lot of people still consider the scariest? Who’s come into his own as a character from TTC to TSATS? That Nico?

Or Annabeth who’s, “cold and calculating. Doesn’t show emotion or express herself”

Annabeth, who’s the most expressive person in the series? Who cries in EVERY book in the OG series? Whether it be for Luke, or Thalia, or Percy, or Chiron, or a literal DOG? Who expresses passion like no other when it comes to architecture and her other interests? Who’s expressed compassion for people she didn’t know? People who at times posed a threat to her? Who isn’t afraid to be angry, or happy, or snide, or rude, or excited, or scared, or ecstatic? Who’s been unapologetically herself since the moment the series started? That’s who doesn’t show emotion? That’s Annabeth?

the comedy potential of dregs businesses that aren't the gambling halls is going untapped tbh... kaz mentions that 'the money will be laundered through one of the dregs businesses' at the end of the heist, which raises the question: what businesses. he probably means the clubs, but I like to imagine that post-CK, kaz is bored, they need to launder money, and they also could do with SOME veneer of respectability... and so kaz sighs and asks, reluctantly, if anyone has any ideas. BOY DO THEY. keeg and pim run such a good brunch joint that there'd be street riots if they were shut down and no one minds that occasionally, unconscious people are stashed in the walk-in. anika is delegated responsibility for the dregs gay bar, and kaz tips the dirtyhands drag kings every time he passes through. they make their own gin in some shitty warehouse down in the zelver district like the 1920s prohibition. they opened a bookshop up near the exchange for some fucking reason, but they get a decent trade from the students and academics. and kaz can run a local theatre spot or be an impresario for the arts he'd LOVE that. every time inej gets back they've opened some new bullshit and kaz is counting the cash intake like >:] but it stops him getting bored and gnawing on the bars of his enclosure so. sure. he can run a takeaway.
