A few years ago, my dad told me that when he was a little kid, my grandma told him “if you get scared while watching a movie or tv, laugh. You’ll feel better.”

Me watching news in 2024:

a cartoon character is standing on top of a pile of rocks with the words " maniacal laughter " written below him

Charmin trying to convince me that toilet paper that tears more easily will make pooping more enjoyable is why capitalism needs to be smothered with a pillow

In the post apocalypse my job will be corpse. I don’t really have many skills and I can’t run 😅

Ain’t no one gonna need a weirdo that can rattle off random horror movie facts.

it's terrifying how many times i see a column, or a politician, say 'i have had a great idea!' and when i read, or listen, to their idea im like 'well, that would be nazism'.

like the nytimes recently saying autistic ppl should be further categorised.

'oh jus like how the nazis did?'

I suck at drawing. Doesn’t mean I don’t try lol. This, unfortunately, is probably my best work. I drew it based on a photo I took of my cat some years back. It unintentionally ends up looking like a kitty boudoir pic bc he’s partially covered by a blankie with one eye closed.

Goofy drawing I did of my cat awhile back. It kinda unintentionally looks like a boudoir pic bc he’s partially covered by a blankie and has one eye closed. I drew it based on a photo I have of him. It’s not very good!

Her doctor tried explaining to them “her white blood cell count is so low, if she actually had TB, we’d know!”

It’d be pretty cool if insurance companies would quit playing god!

If she doesn’t get approval for it soon, her nephrologist is going to put her back on methotrexate and that had horrible side effects. It worked well, but she was miserable the whole time.

My daughter’s been trying to get approval from her insurance to start rituximab. They wanted her to get a TB test first, but her white blood cell count is too low to get a conclusive test bc of one of the meds she’s on.

My ex partner really loved his movies and was always like “he should have been doing this instead of music all along!” and I was like “nah, he should stick to music” lmao.

Some weird bitch:

You're all the same. So fearful of everything that doesn't exist.

I never really got the appeal of Rob Zombie’s movies. They just… they weren’t good. And they’re not even bad in an entertaining way.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

i feel like i need to share this oldie but a goodie today

A tumblr post that reads "WHo would have believed that the perfect wikipedia photo caption could have been improved upon?" Two identical images are then side by side. The first caption is "Piper Kerr, a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904". The Caption for the image on the left reads, "Piper Kerr (right), a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904"
