Shitposter first, artist second, possibly human idk

Has anyone figured out what’s so viscerally wrong with this woman yet

She’s so one dimensionally evil you guys 😭😭 how is she real

read this and remember it. read this and remember that she is going to use the profits of her fucking ego-stroking reboot to decimate trans rights. read this and remember that every time you pay into her IP, you are emboldening her to hurt us more.

our lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

trans lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

Listen, if Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson can disavow JKR and the HP brand - the three people in the world for whom the Wizarding World was LITERALLY their entire childhood - THEN SO THE FUCK CAN YOU.

Your nostalgia is not important.

Trans lives and human rights are.

"Tiffany “New York” Pollard — the queen of reality TV, the HBIC herself — is opening up like never before. In a new interview with "PinkNews," she shared why she resonates with being non-binary, saying, “Some days I may feel a lot more masculine, and some days I’m super feminine — and that’s okay… shoving me back in the closet is never going to be an option.” Tiffany went on to say, “If I didn’t have such a strong connection to the queer fanbase that I have, I don’t know if I would still be in the game… They keep the HBIC alive!”"

The Monarch of Meme was already queer, and we're happy to see her discovery. Black queer folk CONTINUE TO WIN 👑

​that's parent

If you don’t recognize the name…you might recognize some other appearances:

There’s probably so many more. Truly iconic. Congratulations 🏳️‍⚧️

Me: Okay improv class somebody give me an occupation. :)

Class: Dentist!

Me: okay, so in this scene you are going to be a dentist. :)

Child 1: WHY DID YOU STEAL MY TEETH!

Child 2, on the floor, sobbing: I’m so sorry! I sold them on the dark web. I’m in so much debt from medical college.

I ask myself this every day.

12 year olds REALLY like taxes, debt, and divorce as topics of distress in improvisation for some reason

Oh, this is a type of shorthand!

There are 3 main types, but from my research, this looks to be American Gregg Shorthand.

As you can see, there are set symbols for every letter.

Let’s break one of the words down:

Using the Gregg Alphabet as reference, we can see most of the letters in “atrophied” are present. But why no “o” vowel, and why is “ph” written as “f”?

Simple. In shorthand, you cut out all vowels in a word when writing it down, with the exception of words that BEGIN or END with a vowel (hence the “a” at the start being present), or like in the “i” in “atrophied”, to make it more readable when the sound could be harder to distinguish if it isn’t written. In “atrophied” if the the “i” isn’t written, it could be hard to tell if the writer meant a “fud”, “fad”, “fod” or “fid” sound, for example.

Also, since Shorthand is a phonetic writing system, you are encouraged to write down the phonetic sounds of words rather than the actual letter blends - in this case, write an “f” instead of a “ph”.

So in actuality, these aren’t just meaningless scribbles - it’s Gregg Shorthand, a writing system developed to take down notes more quickly than when written out in full, which is very useful in a medical or journalistic environment.

Some people can even write over 100 words in a minute! And, it’s been in use since John Robert Gregg invented it in 1888! Wow! So old!

Isn’t language amazing~?

It's so funny to me that Mary Shelley, her husband, John Polidori, and Lord Byron had a competition to see who could write the best horror story and she wrote fucking Frankenstein. Imagine losing a competition that badly. Imagine just doing a silly little competition with your friend and she basically invents a new genre and creates one of the most famous characters in fiction. Imagine being proud of your little story and then she shares one that people will still read every day in 200 years. Imagine doing a writing competition with your wife and she becomes so recognizable that you'll always be known as Mary Shelley's husband

i hate it when you're heating something up in the microwave and it starts to go snap crackle pop so you take it out but it's still completely cold. shut up then??
