My girlfriend and I both love to read on vacation. Once, on a camping trip, I finished my book early. She was halfway through a hefty novel and ripped out the first hundred pages to give to me. This tradition of giving each other “leaflets” has allowed us to share our favorite books, and the trips we read them on, that much more closely.  – Laura Birnbaum, Washington, D.C.ALT
Today, every day, and on Valentine’s Day, I will visit my wife of 56 years. We are separated by her dementia. I will tell her what’s been going on outside, as I spoon-feed her in her care-home hospital bed. She says, “Thank you,” when I tell her I love her. We both know she would say more, if only she could. We have had a great life together, ever since the second grade. She is slowly leaving, I know that. But we’re a pair until then.  – Gene Lock, Sacramento, Calif.ALT
My husband is Filipino, and I am not, so I learned to cook pancit, a noodle dish his mother made. It makes him happy. We cut vegetables, chop meat, then assemble the dish, always refining our understanding of it. It’s like love — it gets better every time.  – Muffie Alejandro, Los AngelesALT
We say, “I love you” every time one of us leaves the house. It seems small, but after almost 17 years of marriage, I would feel like I had left my keys behind if I hadn’t said it.  – Kate Reymann, Salt Lake CityALT
I have half a banana for breakfast, and my husband always carves a heart on the cut end.  – Jill Black, Kalispell, Mont.ALT
When my cancer diagnosis recurred this fall, my husband of 54 years began folding 1,000 origami cranes. Legend says that they will bring good luck and good health. We have installed them in our hallway as a constant reminder of hope and joy. They are beautiful to look at, and they also seem to be working, as I am responding to treatment.  – Jane Berke, Alpharetta, Ga.ALT
I hate the sound of liquids being stirred or shaken. So whenever my husband stirs or shakes something, he shouts, “La la la la!” to protect my sensitive ears. (I’ve actually learned to manage my aversion, but I don’t tell him, because I think his off-tune singing is adorable.)  – Emily Strahler, Bethlehem, N.H.ALT
Offhandedly, my husband said that he felt loved when his socks were ready to put on. Since then, I roll his socks into pairs.  – Chris Jacques, Golden, Colo.ALT
My husband loves new bars of soap, so when I need to replace mine, I take his and give him the new one.  – Shannon Moise, British Columbia, CanadaALT
My husband of 30-some years lets me put my cold hands on his body to warm them. We are a husband-and-wife oyster-farming team, so in the winter this is especially endearing.  – Cindy West, South Kingstown, R.I.ALT
Every time my girlfriend calls me, I answer the phone by saying, “It’s the most beautiful woman in the world!”  – Jeremiah Whitten, MinneapolisALT
My husband and I got married on June 7, 30 years ago. Every month on the seventh, we like to wish each other a happy anniversary — and be the first to do it. Most often, he beats me to it.  – Patricia Davis, Westbrook, Conn.ALT
My husband always makes sure that my car’s gas tank is full, the windshield wipers are in good shape and the fluids are topped off. That’s his way of telling me that he’ll never leave me stranded.  – Diane Norman, Herndon, Va.ALT
I was diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency a few years ago. My husband began taking out two capsules and leaving them for me in a tiny dish in our bathroom. It was a gentle reminder to take my vitamins and stay healthy. The gesture feels like a very sweet, “I love you.” When I take the pills and he’s in earshot, I say, “I love you, too.”  – Cynthia Copeland, Pasadena, Calif.ALT
For more than 21 years, my husband has given me the last bite of his dessert, always.  – Jennifer Grissom, Los AngelesALT
My precious husband, to whom I was married for 46 glorious years, passed away six years ago. But not a day has gone by since when I haven’t blown a kiss to the photograph of him that I keep on my bedroom table.  – Karen Strauss, New Rochelle, N.Y.ALT

The New York Times did a piece titled 100 Small Acts of Love and these are some of my favorites 💕

One of my favorite things about Put Baby In Pelican Mouth is that not only does the pelican have the intelligence necessary to speak human language but also knows how to lie, suggesting it has a theory of mind, yet not enough to understand that no one is going to put baby in pelican mouth.

To be entirely fair to the pelican, I have seen humans do much, much dumber things with their infants. The park rangers in Louisiana ha e to regularly tell people to not put their babies on the ground next to the gators for a pic.

In fact, it could be argued that the peculiar grammar used by the pelican in the Put Baby In Pelican Mouth post is deliberate, like how phishers use major grammar errors in their messages so that people too smart for the scam (or smart enough to report them) ignore the emails and the scammer can focus on the most likely marks.

Regardless, the pelican is right: there is absolutely someone dumb enough to put a baby in its mouth because it asked politely. Probably dozens on that beach alone.

I find it interesting that the mouth salivates both when we’re hungry and when we’re nauseous. It doesn’t matter if stuff is coming in or out, our throat is like okay boys time to lube up the tunnel

Babe could you have phrased this in literally any other way

PHRASE ADDED!

  • "okay boys time to lube up the tunnel"

You ever notice how a washing machine 10 minutes is actually about 17 minutes human time

i will never complain about a book seeming like a fanfic with the serial numbers filed off because that means the author had the invaluable ability to tell when their au had diverged enough that these were just straight-up different characters now

even as we speak there is probably someone out there writing a delightful 100k word gay romance novel about a genderqueer bisexual single parent who lives in a beach town and fixes classic cars and falls in love with the sexy tentacle monster mermaid that saved their life, and that writer could probably make pretty good money self-publishing it, but they won't because that would mean admitting that they aren't really writing destiel anymore

goddd fat men are so fucking hot they are SO HOTTTT does anyone else see this shit????

A green Xenomorph from Alien with text in red reading "THE BITCH IS BACK" in all caps. There are small stars in the background.ALT

I've always loved the alien 3 promo stuff that say "THE BITCH IS BACK" so I made a design inspired by it

honest to god the nostalgebraist autoresponder was a better and more effective use of generative AI than what 90% of these giant tech companies are doing with it and it's not even close. like it had a purpose (entertain Tumblr users) which it succeeded at pretty consistently, an extremely low bar that no big budget AI product I've seen so far has managed to clear. like it blows my mind that a niche internet microcelebrity on goddamn tumblr pulled off a better and more effective implementation of this technology than any major tech company years before said tech giants made it a household topic. the wealthiest and most powerful companies in the world got outdid on this by a fucking Homestuck they should all be living in shame
