Every once in a great while, I will tell somebody “You know, nasty little fellows such as yourself always get their comeuppance.”
…And then I’ll be sad, because they have no idea what I’m talking about.
I only gamble with my life, never my money.
The Mummy fandom on Tumblr is hella strong
What up mummy fandom I didn’t know existed! Loved this movie. Need to watch it again.
I quote “You’re on the wrong side of the river” constantly.
I’m going to grad school soon to be a librarian and I can’t wait to get drunk and quote all of Evy’s lines.
I’m an archaeology student and I recently re-watched this and the instant they made it clear that it was set in the 1920s I was completely cool with everything about it because archaeology in the 1920s was mostly drinking and blowing things up.

So a drunk driver hit a power pole last night sending the entire area my hotel is in into a black out for about 4 hours in the middle of the night. It happened at around 11pm. We have guests screaming at us front desk workers now about their power turning off and how we are cheap for just turning power off on them in the middle of the night. No… it was a black out. we have police reports if you want to look at them. Every. Single. Building. Went. Out.
As someone that has grown up surrounded by beaches and done surf life saving, I know how the sea works. Lots of people dont. Every summer multiple tourists die here because they don’t respect the sea, if you’re going to the coast, here’s a thing I saw on Facebook.
I once applied and interviewed at a bookstore cafe for a barista position. It was way closer to my home, and I had almost a decade of experience working in a coffee shop at that point.
Got to the interview, and it turned out they didn’t want a barista, they wanted someone to spearhead their new cafe, as the cafe that had been in the store before didn’t want to resign their lease with the bookshop. They wanted to put their own cafe in its place, all new menus etc. They needed someone experienced to train their new staff, to handle window displays, to communicate with the bookstore owners about changes and needs of the cafe, to be able to handle inventory and ordering.
Okay, I had basically done most of that stuff at my previous job. I asked if cafe positions would also be required/trained to work the bookstore.
They would. They would be required to run the book sale counter, stock and reshelf books, and help bookshop customers find things. They would also–despite having an outside cleaning company–have to help maintain bathroom cleanliness. They’d have to take out trash, and clean spills, and vacuum.
Wow, that’s a lot, I said. Is this a manager’s position, then?
No, I was told, it wasn’t, but there was a chance that after a training period it might become one. And that made me pause, because I’d been working as the front-of-house manager at my cafe, and I knew how much work that entailed, and what kind of money I was making, and it was only the commute that had me looking for a new job.
So I asked what the job paid.
$8. E I G H T D O L L A R S. Per hour. Barely above minimum. For all of that work. For someone they expected to get an entirely new cafe up and running, and then also do the work of the bookstore and the cleaning company as well.
I thanked the woman for the interview, said I’d have to talk to my significant other about the impact a four dollar pay cut would have on our finances, and that I wasn’t sure it was the job for me. She asked me to sleep on it, and she’d call me the next day.
This is a job I was way more than qualified for. I had years of experience doing exactly the things they wanted. It was a convenient location, close to my home–I could walk there if I absolutely had to. I did not go home and talk about that four dollar pay cut and what it would do to our finances. I knew as soon as she told me that not only was it not feasible for us, it was downright insulting. That little money? For a frankly ridiculous list of responsibilities and expectations?
She called back the next day. I thanked her again, and told her in no uncertain terms that my time was worth way more than what they were offering.
And whenever people bitch about Millennials being lazy, not spending money, not buying houses…whatever the complaint of the month is…I think about the very nice lady who conducted this interview, and how confused she was that I didn’t want the job.
She became the first african-american actress to lead a mainstream film with an all african-american cast, in HALLELUJAH (1929) directed by King Vidor.

Uh hey so there’s an Instagram taking posts from tumblr witches and posting them (albeit with credit) but I wanted to know if you guys have actually given these people permission to post your content?
Also if you have given this account permission PLEASE PLEASE let me know because I don’t wanna wrongly get these people in trouble
Also please note that these are only some of the posts they have, in case you’re worried they’ve taken your post, check out the account.
Nope. I never gave anyone any permission to post my stuff onto any other site. Also there “original” link isn’t even to MY post but someone else’s re blog of my post.
How hard is it to ask for permission? Geez. Thanks for the heads up.
That’s frustrating. Maybe you could form a complaint with Instagram about it, but I don’t think Instagram has been very helpful with that sort of thing in the past
It really isn’t hard to ask for permission or to even get the proper original link. If anything maybe messaging the account would be a good course of action.
nope, didn’t give permission. i’ll need to dig out that guide for reporting insta post again >_< thanks so much for letting us know tho
Yowch, I definitely did NOT give permission! Can’t believe this person is trying to make money off of other people’s content. Thank you so much for letting us know!
Edit: ack this account looks like close to 100% reposts and has 13k followers? “Do no harm” my ass, that’s taking away traffic from so many content creators. If you produce original stuff for this website, photos or articles or otherwise, watch out and make sure that your stuff hasn’t been stolen as well!
genuinely sick of this instagram, they were so rude to me when i asked them to take down a post of mine!
I’m sorry if you got tagged twice. There are blogs that would not tag. All of you have pictures/posts up on this IG user’s page. Did you all give permission???
I didn’t, but I don’t see any posts up on the page anymore? Looks like they removed them, although the pictures are still up although none of them mine but all stolen, some credited but I doubt they have permission.
Yes they did remove their screenshots of other’s posts after several people (myself included) went to their comments asking why they reposted our material.
a water based spell to stop or slow events, or to push someone back.
To “Stem the Tide” is a nautical expression to describe ships sailing against the tide of the water, that was slowly them down.
🌊 gather: crushed rosemary, a divination board, a representative object.
* a divination board can be a pendulum board, ouija board, anything that has various answers
🌊 go to bathwater or a puddle, other body of water if you are landlocked.
🌊 weigh the divination board down at the bottom.
🌊 sprinkle crushed rosemary over the water
🌊 place the representative object to float in over the center of the board.
🌊 gather energy around your hands, perhaps even with a tempest spell.
🌊 using your hands, influence and push the tide to move where the object is over the board. the object is like the planchette or pendulum for the board, but you are giving it the answers.
🌊 though you cannot change the entire tide or command where a wave crashes, you affect the waters in your own way, making ripples and splashes.

And they have at least 3 posts of mine up and links direct to their tumblr not even mine. They never told me about it and never asked and now they’re trying to make money off of my posts!? No not okay. I’m struggling for money myself, I do not want others making money off of my stuff
Theres 3 lines out the door. Everyone is trying to check in 5 hours early. People are cutting in line, yelling at eavh other and screaming at us. Worst week at work ever
Well I have had one guest tell me how to do my job, one tell me I shouldn’t have my job, one who wanted to know my entire job history and several who are just over all mean and condescending. all of them have been amway. ugh
talking about Rosie The Riveter, fun fact: while the We Can Do It picture has become the most-well known depiction of her in modern times, it wasn’t really a famous image when it was made–in fact, it wasn’t even intended to be her
the most famous depiction of Rosie The Riveter during WWII was probably Norman Rockwell’s painting
note what she’s resting her foot on
i fully support anti-fascist/anti-nazi butch lesbian rosie the riveter
huh i sure do feel like reblogging this for no particular reason today
I was in a comic book store tossing up between two Captain America comics, when a neck beard came up to me and asked “first comic? no clue obviously” and I instinctually replied “first time speaking to a girl? no clue obviously”
I’m gonna work at it until this is my instinctual reply to this shit.
At first I was nervous, what if Geoff doesn’t feel comfortable about this issue, about my Jack/Johnny art. but as time went on I got his reply. I feel more comfortable. He is open to thoughts about this. And He gave me a link that he has been uploading all of the CN City bumpers. Here is his Vimeo that you absolutely must check out: https://vimeo.com/user11835269This link brings back my childhood memories. It feels like I could go back to my youth. Yeah.. I know, I’m not the same person as I was 10 years back but I still love these old CN shows the same.
OMFGGGGGGGGG I”M DYING. We’ve gotten to this point now. I still can’t believe this just HAPPENED LOL
goddd I remembered when i made the first fanart for this ship, there was literally no content for this crossover couple and now look at it HAHA! WOW this has been a amazing ride.
The internet describes it as: “phenomena that appear to contradict physical laws and suggest the possibility of causation by mental processes.” or “phenomena lying outside the sphere of physical science or knowledge.”
So, in layman’s terms, psychic phenomena are abilities and/or practises that do not comply with known laws of physics and deal with the metaphysical.
*Metaphysics is “a branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, identity, time, and space.”
✧ Automatic Writing:
Automatic Writing – also know as “psychography” – is, quite simply, the ability to write without conscious thought. This means that the writings done during an episode or session of Automatic Writing come from a spiritual source. Oftentimes, the writings will not make a lot of sense – Automatic Writing is a form of divination and thus, the writing must be be interpreted by the practitioner if the meaning is not immediately clear. // [How to Practise Automatic Writing]
✧ Clairaudience:
Clairaudience (clear hearing) is the ability to hear things that are not of this plane. For example, you may be able to hear the voices of spirits and entities that do not exist within the physical human world, or hear the voices of those who have passed. It is said that one can grow and develop this psychic ability over time with practise.
✧ Claircognizance:
Claircognizance (clear knowing) is best described as the ability to know something intrinsically. This means that you have knowledge of something, someone or a subject that you were not taught and cannot provide a background to. This is often referred to as a higher form of intuition and if you are claircognizant, you know that what you know is true beyond doubt.
✧ Clairgustance:
This psychic phenomena, is probably one of the stranger ones. Literally meaning “clear taste”, clairgustance is the ability to taste something without putting it in your mouth. This form of extra-sensory perception (ESP) is uncommon and those who possess this ability say that they can taste the essence of something from an astral or spiritual plane.
✧ Clairolfaction:
This is a form of ESP that enables the person with this talent to receive information by means of – for lack of a better description – psychic smelling. Yes, you did read that correctly. Much like the aforementioned Clairgustance, Clairolfaction is the ability to smell something – or as practitioners may say the essence of something – without a physical source for the stench to emanate from.
Clairolfaction is also known as “clairscent”.
✧ Clairsentience:
Clairsentience (meaning “clear feeling”), is the ability to acquire knowledge by touch. The gifted individual may gain knowledge of emotion, memory, location and more by touching a person or an object that belongs/belonged to a person. Sometimes, a Clairsentient person may feel the presence of spirits too.
✧ Clairvoyance:
Clairvoyance (meaning “clear seeing”) is the ability to receive information about future events, or spiritual knowledge visually.
✧ Divination:
Divination is the umbrella term used for methods of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by spiritual means, such as using pendulums, dowsing, reading tarot cards, palmistry, and more.
✧ Energy Medicine:
Energy medicine, also known as spiritual healing, is a branch of alternative medicine based on the belief that healers can channel healing energy into a patient/client and effect positive results by doing so.
Reiki is a well known form of this.
✧ Mediumship & Channelling:
There are different types of mediumship and channelling (such as Ouija), but the best way to cover all the types with one small explanation, is to say that mediumship is the practise of communing with the deceased.
✧ Precognition & Premonition:
Precognition and premonition simply means that the person with this gift is able to have foreknowledge of an event/events. A common form of gaining this knowledge, is through clairvoyance and prophetic vision.
✧ Psychometry:
Psychometry is the ability to gain knowledge of a person – whether that is their location, personal knowledge, or otherwise – through contact with an inanimate object that is associated with them. Commonly the objects used in psychometry will belong to the person you are trying to gain knowledge about, and may be items of clothing or jewellery.
✧ Retrocognition:
This is also known as “postcognition” and is the opposite of precognition. This ability is described as being able to gain knowledge of an event that has already passed that cannot be learned through regular means and must be learned through extra-sensory perception.
✧ Second Sight:
Often, this term is used interchangeably with “clairvoyance” as it means that the person with this gift is able to predict and perceive future events before they occur through visual means. These visions are often symbolic in nature.
✧ Scrying:
A form of divination, Scrying is the practise of foretelling the future or gaining foresight using a reflective surface, such as a mirror, crystal ball or water. // Scrying [Witchcraft 101]
✧ Telepathy:
Telepathy is the ability to communicate with another person through extra-sensory means – by this, we mean that the communication is done by means outside the known senses (touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing).
you know what’s always bugged me? when a character is faced with some magical two headed being or some shit and one always lies while the other tells the truth and to figure out which is which the character’s like “which one of you is the liar” or something like bruh literally all you gotta do is be like “what’s two plus two” one of them’s gonna say four and the other one is gonna say 83 or some shit. there you go. answered. go on with your magical quest to defeat david bowie.
this has forty notes. that’s forty more notes than expected.
THIS IS A VERY GOOD POINT and deserves more notes
LISTEN i don’t normally engage in Discourse but this information is DANGEROUSLY MISLEADING!
the point of the riddle isn’t to figure out which one is lying, in fact, knowing which one lies and which one tells the truth is irrelevant. What you want is the correct answer from the magical beast/two guards/etc. Usually this means knowing which path to take. For that, you HAVE to ask it “if i ask the other head/guard/etc which is the safe way to go, what will they tell me?”
if you asked the truth-telling one, they’ll tell you the wrong way, because the liar will always mislead you. if you ask the liar, they’ll tell you the wrong way, because they’re misleading you, so
ALWAYS do the opposite of whatever answer you get.
“who cares this is a stupid tumblr post this doesn’t matter irl–”
WRONG AGAIN! story time:
A few years ago a friend threw a halloween party, and since he dressed as the Riddler, he decided to have a riddle contest.
now, i’ve been preparing for a riddle contest my entire life, since i first read the hobbit and it got bilbo out of trouble. for some reason, i assumed riddle contests were as inevitable as quicksand.
I answered the first riddle easily (it was one of the ones from the hobbit) and then i had to answer the next one to win a bottle of top-shelf rum. it was a variation on the two-guard riddle, only i had to choose one of two paper bags. one had crappy cheap vodka, the other the nice rum.
the host and his friend did the classic one lies one tells the truth thing, and of course before i asked everyone started shouting “ask him what color your hair is!” and stuff like that, but i already knew what to ask, so i shushed them and won the rum
remember, kids, it doesn’t matter which one is lying and which one is telling the truth. all that matters is you get the correct knowledge to move you forward, win your rum, and make you seem like a superhuman riddle-solver to a crowd of drunken party guests.
always be ready for a riddle contest
Here’s a thing that usually doesn’t come up when people try to criticise this riddle as well. One of the conditions of the riddle is typically that you only get to ask one question. You arrive at the liar and the truth teller and you need to find out which bridge is safe and which one will collapse when you’re halfway across.
They tell you that one of them always lies and that one of them always tells the truth. And they tell you you can ask them one question.
If you ask “What’s two plus two?” than great. You know which one lies but you also still don’t know which bridge you can cross and can’t find out.
It was a joke people, a joke to show how tall Kelli Tennant a former volleyball player is. She’s 6’2 and wearing heels. If it was really “fragile masculinity” Enrique Hernandez wouldn’t have posted the picture on his own twitter. And certainly wouldn’t have been photographed doing this in front of thousands of people.
Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.
