So I made a moon landing cake…
Happy lunar landing day! I decided to spend some time baking and make a cake to celebrate! :)
It’s half vanilla and half chocolate cake with homemade buttercream and homemade wineberry jam in the middle- all the components I tasted along the way were delicious, so I’m looking forward to eating it tonight. (I’ll reblog this with more pictures later)
Phrase taken from this post by @bunjywunjy tis a wonderful image and Ive laughed every time I saw it today, so I put it on a cake :))
holy fuck this is REALLY good
READY OR NOT, HERE IT COMES!
⭐⭐HAPPY MOON LANDING DAY!!!⭐⭐
One of the best letters I’ve ever seen just popped up on my Facebook memories. Still makes me laugh.
As today is the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, it’s a great time to revisit Dinah from Devon’s memory of this historic event. And yes, still makes me laugh.
Today is the 54th anniversary of the moon landing, but Dinah’s diary entry is still absolutely magnificent.
Feel uncomfortable going to Cheesecake Factory when it’s so under the watch of the eye of Sauron
I made this post in 2016 and it got 3 notes, suddenly people are interacting with it. What is happening how did you even find it
How doe this post have less than 1,000 notes when “The Eye Of Sauron at the Cheesecake factory” has been living rent-free in my head for almost a decade?
new thing i learned just now: in like 400 AD there was a monk named simeon stylites who used to live in a one room cell with a window but too many people kept bugging him for religious advice, so he climbed to the top of a pillar and shackled himself to it until he died 37 years later.
this became a cool new trend to the point where there were enough pillar monks of varying viewpoints that they would scream at each other all day
80s Satanic Panic campaigner: Satan is LITERALLY lurking beneath every preschool, kidnapping thousands of children daily!
People in 2022: Haha, how silly. Who couldn't see through that?
20s human trafficking campaigner: Gangs of Mexicans are just waiting to kidnap every well-off white lady in the suburbs. Thousands disappear every day, and the media doesn't even mention it. You are in CONSTANT DANGER and the only way to stop it is banning all these things evangelicals hate
People in 2022: Whoa. This is so scary. I have to do something about this, the real threat of human trafficking. But first, let me threaten to get my undocumented maid deported if she reports anything we've done to her
Rebranding the Satanic Panic to be about "human trafficking" was the smartest move these people ever did, since no one wants to be against human trafficking victims, so they'll be more credulous, even towards organizations that push paranoid conspiracy theories with very little relation to trafficking in practice, who stage dramatic but ultimately useless raids for the cameras (because when you're helping traumatized children, it helps to be as loud and dramatic as possible) and show very little regard for any real victims they do rescue (for instance, releasing a bunch of rescued children after less than a week bc they had nothing at hand to help). You can be an outright QAnon guy and if you claim you're helping "real" human trafficking victims instead of openly ranting about adrenochrome parties under pizza shops, people will treat you with kid gloves when you make a movie about how great you are, yes, this is about the organization the hit movie Sound of Freedom is about!
They've done all of these things, including releasing trafficked children in a matter of days bc they put all their thought into doing a big dramatic raid for the cameras and nothing into what to do with anyone they rescued. Oh, and they don't actually verify that people are trafficked before launching a big, dramatic, violent raid to "rescue" them. And since they're far-right, the list of things they consider "trafficking" is ever growing. All sex work, no matter how consensual, is trafficking in their eyes. No doubt soon enough they'll be discussing "liberating" trans kids from their parents, if they haven't already.
In the end, what these people have learned is that you can get away with McMartin-level nonsense if you just excise the Satanism from it and pretend it's secular
The global cultural exchange brought on by the internet is beautiful because for the first time in history it is relatively normal for ohioan teenagers to develop extremely unhealthy romantic yearnings for lithe wuxia men trapped inside digital casinos
You're telling me a large corporation financed a film as a marketing ploy? Unprecedented. Surely this represents a new low for Hollywood.
