I love the shitty comic sans valentines, because it’s like… A recurring meme. I can look forward to it, knowing that every Valentine’s Day without fail I can enjoy some high quality memes

Which Orchestra Section Should You Fight?

  • Flute/Piccolo: You know you want to, those high notes nearly killed your eardrum. Be warned, though, flutes can double up as good stabbing weapons.
  • Oboe: Hmmmm… be cautious about that one. The oboe is angsty and tense, you do not know when they will lash out and you will never know when they will strike.
  • Clarinet/Bass Clarinet: As a clarinetist, I can assure you that we are weak, mostly harmless, but WEIRD. You may not be the same after fighting us.
  • All Saxes: All bark and no bite. No brains either. Just fight them, they show off too much for their own good.
  • Bassoon: NO! Do not fight the bassoon, they are an endangered species and we must protect them.
  • French Horn: What do you have against them, you can't even hear them. The french horn didn't do anything to you. The french horn is peace and chill, let them be, you have no reason to fight them.
  • Trumpet: YAAASSS! FIGHT THAT TRUMPET! PUNCH THEM WHERE IT HURTS- IN THE EGO!
  • Trombone: Are you stupid you'll get knocked out with the slide you silly person
  • Euphonium/Tuba: DO NOT FIGHT! Their instrument is heavy and metal and WILL give you a bad concussion.
  • Percussion: Nope. Uh uh. Bad idea. They whack stuff. They move big, heavy instruments. They own numerous instruments that could double up as a weapon. Do you want your eye poked out with a mallet?
  • 1st & 2nd Violins: YOU'LL BE SWARMED DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY THERE ARE???!!!???!!!!!!
  • Violas: Yeah, you may as well fight them. But you've already hurt them by calling their instrument a violin, so I don't know why you'd want to cause them further pain. But sure, go ahead. You have nothing to lose.
  • Cellos: Make sure to get them after a long, tiring rehearsal, that way their legs will be weak from sitting down for so long and they'll be close to an emotional breakdown. Just be careful, you don't wanna get hit their instrument.
  • Double Basses: Best not. Carrying around an instrument like that, they probably have SOME muscle.
  • Conductor: HOW STUPID CAN YOU GET??? NOOOOOOO!!!!! YOU DO NEVER FIGHT THE CONDUCTOR! DO NOT FIGHT THE CONDUCTOR! IF THEY DON'T MAKE YOU PLAY THE PIECE ALL THE WAY THROUGH AGAIN, THEY WILL POKE AND JAB YOU WITH THEIR BATON THEN THEY WILL FENCE YOU WITH THEIR BATON AND BEAT YOU AND THEN THEY WILL USE THEIR BATON AS A HARRY POTTER WAND AND AVARDA KEDAVRA YOU OKAY? DO NOT FIGHT THE CONDUCTOR! YOU WILL DIE! THEY ARE MAD AND UNPREDICTABLE AND NOT TO BE FOUGHT.

Zinnias are one of the most popular group of ornamental plants on the planet. Zinnia is a genus in the family Asteraceae with a center of diversity in Mexico and South America. The popularity of these flowers as garden plants can be attributed to the extremely wide variety of colors available on the market with cultivars ranging between hues of reds and oranges to pinks and purples. Zinnias also bloom for a very long time providing color in the garden from summer to the beginnings of winter. Their ease of cultivation and low maintenance requirement makes them an ideal choice for beginner gardeners and experienced horticulturists alike. If you’re looking for a beautiful, no fuss addition to your garden landscape, then look no further than the wonderful Zinnia!

I put on my Tinder profile that I hate sports, I don’t drink beer and I’m 150% feminine all day all the time and so many guys are like…offended? One guy was like “what if the guy you like loves sports, you won’t even watch with him?” And I asked “will you wake up at 8am during fashion week to watch live streams of shows with me because that’s what I’m really interested in. And he said “I don’t really find that interesting.” And I’m like THEN WHY THE FUCK WOULD I CARE ABOUT SPORTS FOR YOU OMG. 

this isn’t an isolated thing. women are expected to change for men. if you don’t want to have children (ever) then someone is bound to say to you: well, what if your husband wants to have children? i was thinking about dyeing my hair & my dad says, what if the guy you’re dating doesn’t like it? we’re expected to lose weight & to dress in a certain way to appeal to men. we’re expected to be less opinionated, less assertive, less talented when competing against a man… it never fucking ends.

DO YOU AND WEED OUT THE WEAK MEN 🌺

Every time someone tells me they won’t dye their hair/do something they like/wear something/make a choice because their boyfriend wouldn’t like it I suggest eating him alive and moving on to stronger men

Hungry Sea Lion Pup Found in San Diego Restaurant

Someone’s got good taste. A hungry sea lion pup wandered into a beachfront restaurant in San Diego last week, charming the chef and taking a seat (and a nap) in one of the booths.

The pup, now nicknamed Marina, had a host of health problems, including being malnourished, dehydrated, underweight, and with one of her eyes swollen shut.

The hope is that with treatment and a rest, she might be able to recover, and once again be released into the wild.

European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, the first Italian woman in space, took a moment to celebrate Captain Janeway at around 250 miles above Earth. (CNET) (twitter)

i bet someone else has already posted this by now but i thought it was really cool bc now we officially have had a cosplay selfie in space lmao

also apparently this marks the first time a star trek uniform’s actually been worn in space i heard??? which is also awesome

She did it again today! Also, in the picture she’s drinking coffee brewed with an espresso machine specifically engineered to work on the International Space Station - the ISSpresso (made in Italy!).

The most amusing thing about this is that, at current launch prices, it costs in the neighbourhood of $4000 per pound to send stuff to the International Space Station. Eyeballing that uniform’s weight at about two pounds, this means that before Ms. Cristoforetti could take cosplay selfies on the ISS, she first had to propose to her nation’s space agency, with a straight face, that they should approve an extra eight grand to send that uniform up there with her in the first place - and that they agreed that this was, in fact, an appropriate use of their funding.

Neeeeeeeerds.

MY PEOPLE 

This is awesome.
