Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Yes fair adventurer, the name of the foul beast you must slay is “google”, once a fair and honorable wizard, Google has fallen to the dark ways and must be stopped before-
May I bring my beloved companion, Fire Fox, with me to help and provide guidance in this most difficult quest?
You may
I shall send two ducks to go with you on your journey.
But beware! For the honey you could find along the way may look appealing but it has been poisoned by the enemy
I’ve heard tales of many explorers falling to this fell beast. I only hope you have more of an edge, adventurer.
Alas, the one explorer I knew was too old and too slow for their own good
Be ware of the ones plated in chrome. They claim to stand on their own but they are in truth built from the wizard’s very bones. What darkness plagues him can easily spread to them as well.
I once thought a brave one was fair and for a time they were.
But aye the fox is good and has through many helpful friends learned many ways to shield you from wicked trackers, thieves, and vile wyrms.
“tiktok has massive problems that even if you don’t agree with a complete ban have to be addressed for all social media platforms” and “the Chinese government is doing pretty awful things” and “there is a lot of sinophobic fearmongering and double standards in the conversation about tiktok” and “people should exercise basic caution signing up to foreign or domestic social media” and “most Chinese citizens like US citizens are just people living their life and cultural exchange between them can be beneficial for both sides” and “some people being on the same social media site isn’t going to solve everything ” and “I want to study the linguistics happening there under a microscope” are opinions that can coexist
the real tragedy of star wars is people will ship obi wan with whoever he shares screentime with , literally anyone, except for dexter jester. his love his life his literal 50s diner operating bff who somehow knew about a secret planet . that was romance and it’s just so fucked how obi/dex shippers are sidelined. obi/dex shippers are taught to be small, to shrink themselves,, well not anymore. i’ve decided to start a movement,
Glad to see we, as a fandom, are finally talking about 🌸🫦 them
Imagine going to a place enough times to not only be a regular, but also romancing the cook
Well I like it but it’s not very well written. Also it’s a visual mess. The plot doesnt make any sense and the creators suck and its politics oscillate from mildly problematic to frankly baffling. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. However. the character
Its obvious to me when people who post about canaries in mines have never met a canary. Like yeah the miners had a special device to revive the canary because canaries are one of the most adorable creatures on the planet and they make adorable little chirping sounds and honestly probably loved the sounds of machinery and people talking so it was probably loud and friendly with the workers. Whatever though maybe meet a canary sometime and youd understand
If you see this animal every day at work, and it sings to you during your hardest bouts of labor, you will be distraught if it dies. Even if you know this creature is meant to die in lieu of you, you still hear it when the labor is at its hardest and your muscles are struggling against the weight of your work. It is so small, smaller than your soot-stained hands and louder than the death that follows you. You dont want it to die. The same as a woman does not want her candle to run out ; she knows that is the point, its flame is meant to burn the wick and melt the wax ; but she is not indifferent to its wasting away. She may even save her favorite candle as not to burn it too quickly. Now imagine you are that woman, and there is a way to rebuild your favorite candle that you love the smell of and the way it flickers. Would she rather throw her candle out? Or would she rebuild it? That is a canary to these miners. Would you allow an animal to just die when it has been singing for you? It reminds you that it is alive, and you are too. Its stop of song signifies the lethal danger you are in. Why abandon it? Is the miners’ love for a little bird really that surprising?
Why does this read as though written by a coal miner of the era in which a canary was needed.
Because time is an illusion and love is infinite
Miners loved their canaries so much that they invented a tiny resuscitation box to deliver oxygen and revive any canaries that showed signs of gas poisoning:
An unconscious or lethargic canary could be gently placed in the sealed glass tank. Above it is a tank of compressed air that miners would use to revive their birds, and the seal on the tank would keep the canary safe from toxic gases as the miners carried it (and themselves) to safety. Note how they even thought to provide a little perch inside!
“While hiking in Olympic National Park a couple days ago I experienced something I had never heard of. It’s called a Brocken Spectre or Mountain Spectre. It’s my shadow in the center of the Aura or “Glory”. It was probably the coolest thing I’ve ever experienced in all of my mountain days and I certainly felt very lucky. Here is a link to the short video I made that gives a better idea of the juxtaposition. https://youtu.be/CWZ03O_a0Qw” - Nikki K
Won’t lie, if I were having a rough time and the office himbos brought me mac and cheese I would be cured.
Small, clumsy kindnesses, earnestly given, are more healing than you would believe. More adults should be willing to show the tender caring that a little kid expresses when they say, “You looked sad, so I brought you a rock.”
joe biden, you stupid fuck. listen to me. Crimes are legal for sitting presidents as long as they’re official actions. Listen: Joe. You have one chance
Even if he decides not to do, y'know, the obvious, there’s gotta be some creative ways he can fuck shit up for Trump. Nothing he does in terms of actual policy will stick, but make Trump spend his first hundred days undoing Biden’s last 75.
Especially make him undo stuff that will be incredibly popular. Executive order legalizing marijuana nationwide. Declare a free pizza party for the whole country, scheduled for the first week of February.
Declassify Trump’s IRS records, his FBI file, and everything available about his personal habits during his previous stay in the White House. Did he ever order any pay-per-view porn? Clog a toilet? The American people deserve to know.
I’m just spit balling here; I’m sure there are even better ideas.
Humbly submitting that it would also be very funny if he resigned and then Kamala did all those things
Honestly resigning so that the country gets a black Asian woman President whether the assholes like it or not would be the funniest thing he could do all on its own.
imp:
Every time I see this I lose my marbles I love it so much. “For some reason I yelled who is in here as I was falling” is the point where my soul leaves my body. God I love.
The excerpt paragraph made me look up and stare at my wife for three solid minutes waiting for them to return to the couch. I couldn’t move on with my life. I had to read it aloud to them to their audible disgust and then they read all the comments with unbridled delight.
Now we keep repeating “Like Zorro.”
