It's crazy how we had to be told the horrors of smoking because aesthetically smoking a cigarette looks cool as hell. But now MFs look like dorks sucking on apple remotes and everyone is like, "Eh, let them die of whatever"
Oh shit I saw video of that thing I thing.
The Mothman bridge?
VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?
ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]
Algorithms that flag and suppress words like rape, murder, etc, are upholding the violence of the acts those words represent. Censorship of those terms cloaked in the name of protecting people only minimizes the violence. Forcing people to use euphemisms is just another way to silence victims.
It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly
Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
This is amazing and it does make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. We've all heard plenty of dead men's voices but this is *Robert* *Johnson*.
I love all genders🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Because I have no gender.
Especially right now, transgender people are living with a lot of anxiety.
Why are transgender people not allowed to freely love the people they want to love?
Why can't transgender individuals live their lives with the soul they prefer?
Radical queers: we should arm ourselves.
My dumb wannabe cowboy ass: ooo, a 30-06 bolt action! Ooooo, a .405 lever action! Oooo, a Lee-Enfield Mk III!
May need to fight my dad tonight because he says he hates the Tachikomas.

Insisting my parents watch the Big Titty Sasquatch episode of the X-Files while I yell at them about early human evolution.
The crowd control employee at my parents' Costco was a middle-aged trans woman with sparkly barettes, a red gingham shirt, 2000s-core jeans with bedazzled back pockets, and a belt that had ROCKER REVIVAL spelled out in rhinestones. Honestly, iconic.
Exactly one year ago today:
A painting of Lucifer tempting Jesus in the desert. Lucifer is INCREDIBLY naked, dirty, and lurid, rubbing up ons Jesus' robes from behind; his hand is open in offering and is placed in front of Jesus' crotch
I just re-found this painting, which was in a kid's bible I had growing up. I used to obssess over it, and I'm pretty sure seeing Lucifer here was the first time I thought a man was attractive? Over the years I'd think "it couldn't possibly be as horny as I remember it", but I mean come ON
I bring a sort of Forbidden Vibe to InternalServerError that Rate Limit Exceeded don't really like

Damn there are *always* exactly the number of Democratic votes needed for the GOP to get what it wants. Wonder what's up with that, or if it's a thing people notice.
Cartoon of man exasperatedly throwing his hands up and saying "I guess"
Millions of lapsed Catholics realizing that they have become realigned with the Pope against their will
A calico cat is sleeping on a striped blanket.
The way Jack rests her face on things when she sleeps is so dang cute.
Another banger of a thread. I really love how Derek emphasizes the language of fashion. Asking, "What are the best chinos?" is like asking, "What is the best adverb?" Well... what are you trying to say?
I hate the term "skinny-fat," like what the fuck does it even mean?? Oh you mean just an average person who isn't jacked?
"Good game, good game."
It was only relatively recently that I realized the robin featured in Mary Poppins's "A Spoonful of Sugar" is the entirely wrong species. Dunno if that's because no one at Disney even knew, or if they just decided to cater to their predominantly American audience.
He'd never dare gain any fat.
The joys of a one-party town.
Guild novices when they strike up a conversation with me and I don't remember their name:
Are you a believer in ghosts, my friend?
it takes a high degree of emotional literacy to go "wow, I had a very intense reaction to something I'm now learning isn't based in fact, I need to interrogate that so I can flag it if it comes up again", and in our 24/7 disinformation economy many people simply choose never to accept correction
So Fantasy grows out of Romance (medieval) but rejects Romance (contemporary) because for girls, so Romance (contemporary) develops into something increasingly un-Fantastical, and has to be portmanteued back into Fantasy (Romantasy), despite Fantasy being originally Romance...
