Outline of Brands Hatch motor racing circuit, labelled with corner names. The shape bears a loose resemblance to the route shown on Emma’s Strava tracking app of her Parkrun at Newent.
Tumblr screenshot: anonymous asked boobs shouldn't sag like that asirensseng answered: what a funny way of admitting that you've never seen a pair of boobs outside of porn that1betch I always think of one of my co-workers at a husky farm near Inari, who told me apropos of nothing while we were clearing out dog shit together that he thought the reason Americans are "like that" ("like what, Veikka" got the response "you know what I mean") is because "they never see their grandma's tits." His logic was that "in Finland, you go to the sauna with your grandma from when you're a baby, and you see her naked, and this is years and years before you ever see any porn, so you know before you see any of it that it's temporary and fake. And when you get a girlfriend later, you know it's only a matter of time before her tits look like that too, you accept this. And Americans don't know that! They don't! They look at porn, and then they get a wife, and then they're surprised and bitter when she gets old - it's true!" Like, to be clear, I think Veikka's analysis might have been missing more than a bit of nuance, this is the same guy whose motto was "Driving 600km south to Rovaniemi to get therapy is expensive, chopping wood till you don't care about it anymore is free", but I do occasionally still look at some British or American take online and think to myself, in his voice, "they've never seen their grandma's tits"
An xkcd cartoon by Randall Munroe. A stick figure talks to the fourth wall, saying: “Public Service Announcement: the right to free speech means the government can’t arrest you for what you say. It doesn’t mean that anyone else has to listen to your bullshit, or host you while you share it. The 1st Amendment doesn’t shield you from criticism or consequences. If you’re yelled at, boycotted, have your show cancelled, or get banned from an internet community, your free speech rights aren’t being violated. It’s just that the people listening think you’re an asshole. And they’re showing you the door.” (Final panel is a picture of a door ajar)
Photograph of the night sky. Jupiter is very bright in the middle left, just below Gemini. Procyon is visible bottom left just above the tree line. Orion is in clear focus bottom right, with Aldebaran just above. Menkalinan, Capella and Alnath are in view top centre.
