real footage of me after you tell me "oh btw x is coming over in about 15"

i love my dad but holy shit, i need more than 30 minutes warning before we have company coming over

also, ouch ouch ouch, ouch, diggity dang ouch, if my teres major and pec minor muscles could PLEASE simmer down, holy shit, please, i will bribe you two with muscle relaxers and ice packs and more cbd oil!!!!

the worst part is that i know part of this is stuff that would be helped by nerve flossing but Oh My God I Hate Nerve Flossing

i can't tell if these shoes are actually adorable, or just so hideous they're tricking me into thinking they're adorable? either way i'm sorely tempted because all the reviews are talking about how comfortable they are

anyway you can make your own jokes here about me saying the beatles are overrated and anyone who says the beatles are their fav is like someone saying their fav beer is bud lite

when my fav musician is bjork.

which, continuing this metaphor, means it's like i'm saying my favourite drink is something incredibly obscure that will make the weary bartender hate me whenever i order it because it's fucking pretentious and overcomplicated to all hell

so in conclusion, the beatles are all overrated, and if you meet someone who says the beatles are their favourite band, that's like meeting someone who says bud lite is their favourite beer

so sympathetically pat their arm and order them the equivalent of a good microbrew to help them through that difficult time in their life

want to discuss psychedelic music and how the hippie movement really impacted the entire musical landscape? good news, jimi hendrix is RIGHT THERE youtube.com/watch?v=vsI15ei76b and let's be real, that's better music than 'yellow submarine'. it also goes a whole lot harder so historically you can talk about how this style flowed into what we now think of as classic rock. and you can give credit to those non-white-dude artists too youtube.com/watch?v=VdOkQ6THDV

you want to talk about 60's boy bands? go listen to the monkees instead. youtube.com/watch?v=ZcXpKiY2MX (which i think is a better bop anyway)

you want to talk about the development of rock music? MOTOWN IS RIGHT THERE, and again, you'll end up listening to much better music lol, while giving credit to the non-white, non-male artists who defined the musical scene - youtube.com/watch?v=NPBkiBbO4_ , youtube.com/watch?v=-C_3eYj-pO

they get mentioned a lot because i think they functioned as an aggregate of styles, often making those styles accessible/palatable to their audiences - sometimes by virtue of being white/middle class enough - but when you look at basically every single phase of style the beatles went through, you can find other artists who did it better and who you should really be paying attention to instead. if i were teaching a class on this, i would basically never mention the beatles for this very reason.

probably my spiciest take yet on mastodon:

the beatles are severely overrated

honestly, carry me to the hallowed halls of Whamhalla over that. i bravely welcome the blow to be struck down by LAST CHRISTMAS~ I GAVE YOU MY HEART~ over this

Show thread

i am hoping now that the christmas season is over, as much as i enjoyed it, maybe i can get SIIIIIMPLY. HAAAAAAAVING. A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIIIIME. out of my head

Neither coffee, vanilla, nor chocolate are true legumes so all those 'mocha frappachino is a three bean soup' takes are not only dangerously wrong but also offensive to beanologists

after glancing at topical current events for a moment, i must say, to be entirely honest,

jack black is probably one of the very few hollywood celebrities i would actually watch doing a let's play.

of course now all the photography i do is smartphone only because When Yer Shoulder Is Shot Tae Fook, Gets A Bit Hard To Hold The Camera Innit

it's a little "uphill both ways in the snooowwwww" i know, but i do think that the photography course in HS where my parents told me that they would not let me use one of the DSLRs so i had to slum it on film..... ....was actually good for me in many respects. it helps to get to that mindset of "every single shot is using very limited resources, so BE CAREFUL" before jumping to digital and being able to just shotgun picture after picture.

5. if you've got something real dry, too, you can put the drops there. i find crackers are pretty ok for this. this way you can count out the drops a lot more accurately. doing crackers in a bit of a stack means it can soak down into the next if needed, and you'll hopefully taste more cracker than oil.

6. cbd oil thankfully doesn't have much of a taste, just, well, it's oil, it's gonna be oily. however, these tips should work ok for tinctures or so on with tastes too. (3/3)

some cbd oil tips from ur local spoonie 

4. taking the drops might be a bit of a struggle unless you're really good at chugging oil lol. so, the best way i've found to do this taking it straight is to put the drops underneath your tongue, then, without swallowing yet, chug something pretty strong tasting. it helps if it's also a drink with a bit of fat in it already. chocolate milk, basically. chocolate goddamn milk is so good for this.

(2/?)
