when I try to hear this in my head my mental voice is incapable of pronouncing it fast enough to fit the timing of the line
“noooo oooone… adjksjfksfjslenry like Gaston!”
and when I try to fit it to one of the longer such lines, my mental voice becomes too confused about conflicting scansion to continue
no one’s droll like gaston no one’s swole like gaston no one fits his assigned gender role like gaston
I’m especially fond of the paaaatriaaarchy
My what a guy that gastooon
Bless you for making it scan
NOW I CAN’T READ IT WITHOUT SINGING IN MY HEAD
No one’s droll like Gaston, No one’s swole like Gaston, No one fits his assigned gender role like Gaston! For there’s no one online half as phony, His tinder’s got dick pics to spare, You can ask any neckbeard or brony They’ll show you (no homo) whose trilby they’d wear! No one drawls like Gaston Or catcalls like Gaston, Or manspreads on the train in a sprawl like Gaston! I’m especially fond of the paaaatriaaarchy! My what a guy that Gastooon!
if the lyric ‘i have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve / i have a history of taking off my shirt’ was written by like fucking fall out boy or halsey or basically anyone besides the barenaked ladies you’d see it in the description of every blog with a black and red coloured theme
don’t let anyone tell you that it’s a bad thing to feel things deeply. a full heart is a strong heart and being soft doesn’t make you weak. being soft and loving makes you radiant. you deserve all of the love in the world and so many good things.
I haven’t seen one of these yet so I’ll share some of my knowledge as a native Washingtonian to help save some people’s lungs
1) Stay inside!
this probably seems super obvious but it’s going to be the best thing you can do for yourself. Limit the amount of time you spend out doors by a lot. You might get a little stir crazy but it’s worth it.
2) Keep your windows and doors closed
Also might seem obvious, but you really want your home to have as little smoke in it as possible. If you do get smoke in your home try to shut it off to one part of the home if possible (e.g. if you left the window open in the office, close off the office from the rest of the house). If you’re able to, get an air filter for your home too to make sure you have a safe place to breathe.
3) Know what to do in your car
If you have to drive or live in your car, don’t run your ac unless your car can recirculate air (The button that looks like a car with an arrow inside). Otherwise your car will pull in smoke from the outside. If you’re living in your car tip 2 is especially important.
4) Get a mask
If you have a few dollars to spend I highly recommend getting a particulate respirator. They just look like typically face masks, not gas masks. Most supermarkets with a painting section or hardware stores have them. I was able to get a two pack for about 7 dollars. They filter out about 95% of debris in the air and are great for smokey air.
If you don’t have any extra money to spend most walk in doctors offices or pharmacies will give you a face mask if you ask for one. These aren’t as good because they don’t filter out as much stuff as the particulate respirators do, but they’re better than nothing.
5) Don’t add to the poor air quality
this might sound obvious on the surface, but things like lighting candles in your own home, running a gas stove, or even vacuuming (stirs up dust) can add to the already shitty air quality. Try not to do these things until the air clears up!
6) Get out of the region
This tip will not be accessible to a lot of people, but if you’re able to, get completely out of the region. Especially those who are young, pregnant, elderly, or already have pre-existing breathing problems should try to leave, as they will be the most susceptible to illness caused by smoke
7) Know when to get help
If you have access to a doctor, it’s super important to know when to go see them. If you have any symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, or other breathing problems go see your doctor! These will only get worse with the poor air quality and you should get them checked out as soon as you can. Signs of these can include tightness in the chest, difficulty breathing or catching your breath, wheezing, or getting tired easily.
If anyone else has any tips please feel free to add on to this!
I see so many posts going around about food, water, phones, and legal documents (all very important of course!!) but please don’t forget your medicine. Put at least two week’s supply per person in a waterproof case for emergencies. This includes pain relievers, allergy meds, etc.
Please reblog this because I know a lot of people forget things like this!
⛑Get Zello to keep in touch with friends and family. It works like a two way radio. Comcast opened up wifi for non-customers. Connect to wifi if you can and use this app to make sure everyone is safe.
⛑Get GasBuddy to search for gas stations that still have fuel. Super convenient! Use the search filters to look for the ones that are still open. Just make sure to keep an eye on the update times before you start driving. Anything updated within a couple of hours should still have fuel.
⛑Bugle is a free notification service that alerts your family if you don’t check in when you’re expected to. The app lets you create an activity log, determine a check-in time and assign an emergency contact.
⛑SafeTrek is a mobile personal safety app that bridges the gap between doing nothing and calling 911 in an unsafe situation. SafeTrek allows you to proactively protect yourself without the heavy commitment of calling 911.

If the situation turns for the worse and you need help, simply release your thumb and do not type in your pin - your local police will be notified of your location, name, and emergency.
today at work a man brought a pug in on a leash and that pug was so excited and happy to see me it was as if we were old friends who havent been in contact in 7 years i felt so loved in that moment
today a bassett hound came in and wagged her tail so furiously all of her loose skin started to jiggle and she was so pumped to see me i want more dogs to come into my store they make my life whole and worthwhile
I’m so glad this came back cause a golden retriever named Milly came in today who put her paws on my register counter and wanted to say hi to me and I loved her so much and I scratched her ears and she gave me that classic dopey dog smile
yesterday a girl came in with her boyfriend and in her hand was a tiny tan colored dog that she told me was a chihuahua/pekingese mix and he had a severe underbite and one little canine tooth was poking out and his ears were like bent at the tips and i immediately commented on how amazing he was and she goes omg thanks do you wanna pet him and i was like there is literally nothing more i want to do while being on the clock right now than to pet this incredible tiny dog and he was so sweet and licked my hand and his name was spike
yesterday these people came in and put a blanket into one of our shopping baskets and it started to move and i was like omg whats in there and they set it down on the counter and the blanket kept moving and the suspense was so good like is it gonna be a cat is it gonna be a ferret maybe a lizard and then the smallest chihuahua ive ever seen in my life popped her little head out and licked my finger and i died
A baby german shepherd named Jonathan came in tonight and since i was on the sales floor and not behind a counter i say to the owner omg can i pet this angel and they were like yeah of course and i crouched down and Jonathan ran into my arms and almost tripped over his puppy feet it was 12/10
TODAY a german shepherd named london grabbed one of our lanterns off the shelf and was carrying it around and the owner was like, “london no, we’re not getting that” and gave him the merchandise she was buying instead and he carried it to me and dropped it on the counter at my register and i could have cried
I want everyone to know both London and Jonathan (Jonnie) came in the other day on the same day. Jonnie is much larger since the last time I saw him but still sweet and still acts like a pup, he barked at something in our footwear department. London still likes to carry things and put his paws up on my register to say hello, he carried the insoles his owner bought out the door for her. Also thanks for the notes, it’s nice to see so many people appreciate dogs on here. Another reminder, I see a lot of dogs because I work in a sporting goods store in a strip mall next door to a Petco and we absolutely allow dogs in our store. I live in a mountain town in Colorado and dogs are common here because there are lots of fun outdoor stuff to do with them.
A sheltie in a Petco shopping cart came in yesterday and her name was Sadie and she was so excited to say hi that she jumped out of the cart, onto my register counter, but she missed and Mufasa’d her way to the floor, but she was okay. The owner just let her sit on the counter and she was very well behaved and she gently smelled every item I scanned and also my hand. She was obsessed with her neck being scratched.
today a black lab name paxton came in off leash and he jiggled his way into our back room because the door was open and i yelled He Is Employed! and told his owner that we’d be happy to hire him and then eventually he made his way up to the front by himself and into the register area behind the counter and now he’s my new manager
my boss sent me this picture she took from the window at work today after i left. its not a dog, but it is a goat wearing a cowboy hat.
today a 12 week old dichromatic pitbull puppy named Spot was so tired that he was splayed out on our tile flooring, all four legs sticking out while his people tried on shoes. i asked to pet him and he wagged his tail and rolled over so i could scratch his belly
Today my boss found a lost little Australian shepherd puppy without a collar running around the parking lot and caught her and brought her in the store and I played with her on my lunch break and she was so cute and so sweet and was probably no older than like 9 weeks. Eventually her people came and claimed her. Her name is Panda and she’s in the process of being trained as a service dog for an elderly veteran with one leg.
today a bengal kitten named strider came in and he licked my finger. hes not a dog but hes is very important
