McKarty 64 is my favorite Mario Kart game.
My favorite part is that the blog post the photo was taken from detailed this mother’s decision-making process and chose this name because her husband saw it on a road sign on the way home
She named her daughter after a road sign
a road sign
there was a girl at my school called “zona” cause he parents went on holiday to spain and saw it and thought it was a nice name. IT LITERALLY MEANS ZONE
“47 month old”

“Who’s doing your surgery?”
“Dr. Rayman Origins.”
THE APP REBOOTED FOR ME!!
i met a kid once whose name was “Ryce” and his mum said it was pronounced “Reese”
the best part is she was originally going to spell it “Rice”
My auntie knows a family who decided to name their daughter Owen, but they spelled it “Oin” and they made her middle name the first sound that her big sister made which happened to be “Oogok”. her name is literally “Oin Oogok Puscus”
Oin Oogok Puscus is my favorite dwarf from the Hobbit

One of the classes I subbed in had a kid named Glarison. I’m sorry, did you misspell Garrison?????
OMG IT IS BACK! I CAN FINALLY POST THE ASK I GOT ABPUT THIS!
I went to college and took religious studies courses with a girl named Storm Pagan. She never understood why I found that both funny and oddly appropriate, and I never felt like taking the time to explain.
for the love of your future children, look up what a name means in all languages before you saddle you kid with it until they’re old enough to legally change it.
I took latin in middle school. I don’t actually remember much now, but i’m telling you, it was IMPOSSIBLE to look this girl I knew in passing in the eye because her name was Latrina.
Latrina.
(For those of you who have no idea why this is unfortunate and hilarious, ‘latrina’ is one of the latin words for toilet)
What the fuck that even sounds like ‘Latrine’ like who looked at that name and went ‘what could possibly go wrong’
Kids I actually went to school with:
Nipponia (Her parents were really enthusiastic about Japan and thought no one would know.)
Foreverina
Twins – Heavyn-Leigh and Eterni-Teigh
Khayrliy (Carly)
MyckEnziey (yes, spelled like that.)
Every last one of them was white n blonde.
Naming your kids after gods seems like s BAD PLAN whether you believe in them or not. Especially Odin and Bacchus.
4 7 M O N T H O L D
I knew I pair of sisters named Chardonnae and Breane (nicknamed Brie). Fucking wine and cheese
Heavyn-Leigh and Eterni-Teigh ……. I???……what the fuck 😂😂😂

Congrats to you for getting throught this post
Now I’m so fucking glad I’m named megan
This is why at the library I would make EVERYONE spell their name for me.
Some white lady over 35: You want me to spell Linda Smith
Me: Lady, you don’t know my life. I have looked into the abyss.
Look, I like unique names, but not THAT unique
You know, I thought growing up as a Niamh in England was bad. I now know that I was blessed, BLESSED, to be given a name that 1) I grew into and now love, and 2) wasn’t just pulled off the nearest road sign and fed through a Scrabble converter.
White Australian Bogans be like:
Jaden
Brayden
Hayden
Ayden
Grayden
Cheryl
Beryl
Mick
Bazza
Wazza
Ladasha
Trent
I know so many kids with fucking weird ass names
I’ve met a kid named Battle. Literally. His name was Battle.
Battle?????
And people have the nerve to mock transgender folks’ self-chosen names! I promise you, ours are a breath of sanity compared to this bs.
And I thought the weird high dudes named Skyler, Tyler and Kyler were weird
You: Latrina?? How did that happen
Her: We changed it when I was little
You: You changed it to Latrina?
Her: Yeah!It used to be Shithouse.
You: It’s a good change…..it’s a good change.

My grandma was an advice nurse, and one time she got a call from a mom who named her kids lemon jello, and lime jello
……….cursed
I grew up with a weird name. My name is Valynsia, pronounced as Valencia. And it means orange. I like my name because of its uniqueness and I thank my mom every day that she didnt name me some weird shit like the ones above ^^^
I just had an aneurysm reading this 🤦🏽♀️
i genuinely dont care if the creation of all media comes to a screeching halt btw i will very gladly live with no new movies no new tv shows no new anything for years if that's what it takes for the people who create them to be treated like human beings. i hope every other facet of the entertainment industry goes on strike too and i hope all the ones that havent unionised yet will. i want media creation to become completely impossible and i want the people who could make it possible again to hold out until they get every single thing they want. btw
fresh, clean no-terf version for reblogs!
Your mom and aunts aren’t on tumblr. Please warn them about this as well.
[Image description: Two smartphone screenshots of a Facebook post by a person named Sheila Toll posted 2 Sep. It is black text on a white background and the post is public. The post reads:
I am a Family Doctor and I want to keep a promise made to a patient.
Julie was a healthy, post-menopausal woman in my care who came in for a periodic health examination. One of my routine questions, in what is called the “Review of Systems”, was to ask if she had experienced any vaginal bleeding.
She said “No” but then laughed and added, “Other than when my period came back for a few months last year”.
All health care professional are taught early on that ‘vaginal bleeding in a post-menopausal woman is Cancer of the Uterus until proven otherwise’. This comment by Julie was, therefore, a red flag (no pun intended) prompting further questions, an examination and an ultrasound of her pelvis.
Julie was surprised to see me so concerned, especially since the symptoms had not recurred over many months.
Sure enough, a pelvic ultrasound and tissue sampling confirmed Cancer of the Uterus.
Julie underwent a hysterectomy and radiation therapy. She is now healthy, cancer-free and is expected to stay that way.
After all this was done, Julie sat ME down for a talk. She told me she’d had no idea a ‘short return’ of her period after menopause was a danger signal. Furthermore, she addressed the topic with friends over coffee and discovered that, out of 20 women, NONE of them knew this symptom was abnormal! She admonished me to “Tell women this! Don’t assume we know it!”
From that day on, I have kept Julie’s advice in mind when talking with post-menopausal patients. But recently my wife suggested that I should take this to a wider audience.
So, Julie, this is for you:
If you are a post-menopausal woman and your period ‘comes back’ or you have even one episode of vaginal bleeding, TELL A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL and insist on having it investigated!
Wishing you all good health and long lives. End image description.]

"just warning you, the laborers are against the robots stealing their jobs" lmfaooooo
not "I hate it here" as in "I want to leave" but "I hate it here" as in "this is a list of the 50 counties in the whole united states with the lowest life expectancy and Kentucky is 14 of them"
this was jumping off from recent kentuckyposting, but if you're american this list should radicalize you. It's just a parade of the evils of this nation
The US county with the lowest average life expectancy (as of 2014) is Oglala Lakota County, South Dakota. It is a Native American reservation with a 92.9% Native American population. The average life expectancy there is 66.81 years.
If it were a country, it would rank below 150th in worldwide average life expectancy.
The second county on the list is Union County, Florida, at 67.57 years. It has a high prison population—one-third of the county's population is incarcerated.
The list is dominated from there on by Native American reservations, counties in Mississippi with a 70%+ Black population, and Eastern Kentucky and West Virginia coal country.
It's really such a simple thing to love about Prey, but the way they shot all of the village scenes feels real, it didn't feel romantisized like the way a lot of other films shoot Native scenes.
Like comparatively to something like The New World by Terrence Malick, Werowocomoco is frequently called "an Eden" in the script, with its Powhatan inhabitants compared to things like "fairies" and "nymphs" (I'm not joking, I'm quoting). And even in the final version of the film, shots of Werowocomoco are overlaid with narration by John Smith talking about how everything is perfect there, so its STILL coming from a colonizers perspective & prioritizing HIM and how HE sees it. Werowocomoco wasn't a perfect utopia with perfect Powhatan inhabitants, no place is like that. The area had been struggling a little due to a reduction in deer population (their main source of clothing and meat), and a little later they'd had a drought so the crops were bad, and of course they had conflicts with other tribes at the time, like the Massawomeck. But the movie doesn't show that. Nobody in these scenes ever seem to be doing anything or working or just living their lives. Its too... perfect. Movies tend to over romantisize Native people like this & it keeps the Noble Savage idea going.
But then in Prey, it doesn't feel like that. It feels like a real village. It feels like a real community of people going about their business & doing chores & work & relaxing & being together. Naru feels relatable because she's annoyed to wake up early in the morning, and she wants to stay in her warm bed. You see women working on hide tanning and going out early to go foraging (another thing Naru looks annoyed by). Theres moms carrying crying babies not because something bad or scary happened, but because babies cry. Naru brings home dinner and clearly spends time training herself & her dog. They have to send out hunters to deal with a cougar that's been causing problems for them. Naru has to go out and get medicine, almost like going to the pharmacy. There's not really any romantisization, there's no implying that the Comanche's lives were "perfect" at this time, it's just them living their lives and dealing with whatever problems hit them, and they feel real.
I'd need to do more research* to properly posit it, but I have a short Essay in mind about how Troy Bolton was Disney Channel's last Cool leading man and how that represents ideas about protagonists being relatable vs aspirational generationally
*watch the rest of the DCOM catalogue
I was gonna say “what you think he had insurance???” but 1) at least in the early aughts to mid-teens, NY was one of the less excruciating states to get medicaid in, and 2) he was a minor and it’s a LOT easier to get medicaid for a minor, especially when said minor’s legal guardians are retirees on fixed incomes I’d wager.
So yeah they’re all just fuckin dumbasses! I love them.
This is why I think it would be peak comedy for the radioactive spider to be of a non-venomous species and for there to be a scene of a new Peter Parker/Spiderperson looking up the spider’s features or posting a photo to an identification subbredit before being informed of the fact that nothing will happen
entemologist reddit: oh yeah, that one’s venom isn’t strong enough to cause anything other than a bit of localized pain at the bite site, no worries.
Peter Parker the next morning, stuck to his ceiling: Well someone fucking LIED!!!!
UPS has reached an agreement with the Teamsters union to equip its iconic brown delivery trucks with air conditioning for the first time for new units.
The agreement, announced by UPS on Tuesday, comes as the delivery giant and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters negotiate the terms of a new contract for more than 330,000 U.S. employees. (source)
Unions work, unionize.
Workers need unions because It's 2023 and I can still see a post like this and involuntarily scream "What do you MEAN they didn't have air conditioning?!" out loud
