hey if we’re mutuals you can literally interact w me whenever. send me whatever u want i will probably be very excited
the "cozy small-town episodic murder mystery" genre is so fascinating to me because of the contrast between the ostentatiously cute and cozy settings and the unbelievably high murder rate driven not by socioeconomic or cultural factors but just by the fact that everyone is, like, a huge drama queen
my guess is that it activates the peasant brain, “live in a small rustic area where people routinely beat each other to death over petty disputes” is another big part of the peasant farmer experience
I’ve never been active on twitter, I haven’t seen a single episode of game of thrones, and the last marvel thing I watched was the first Iron Man movie
if you ever doubt your writing, be it your themes, or the reason behind it, remember that h.g wells wrote war of the worlds both as a commentary on colonialism and the horrors it brings, and because he fucking hated his neighbours and his 13 hour job, and wanted to write about the town in which he lived getting blasted to the fucking ground by lasers into an irreparable heap and all of the townspeople dying painfully
you, too, can channel your hatred for that guy that lives down the hall and blasts music at 4am into the one of the most influential science fiction stories ever written! fuck it! i believe in you!!
This is one of the most inspirational things I’ve ever seen

Casual cruelty has become so ingrained in a lot of people because we live in a society that is structured in a cruel way. To be quite honest you are obligated to consider the harm of your words and actions no matter your personal hardships.

Dear President Sunny Roosevelt,
Is that your birth name?
(Apologies if you've gotten this ask before)
“Thank you for the question, and for the appropriate amount of groveling. To answer your question - Sunny Roosevelt is a name I came up with for my avatar, which, for all intents and purposes, is me.
There’s an anecdote that I like - have you ever heard of Lord Novgorod the Great?
So, long ago there was this big trading city called Novgorod, located between Scandinavia and Russia. Because they were so big and prosperous, people wanted to do business with them, which in most people’s minds - since it was the 1300s - that meant dealing with the king. But Novgorod didn’t have a king, they were a city with a democratically elected government. So they decided that the city itself was the king, and they referred to the city as “Lord Novgorod the Great.”
I like to think of myself like that. I’m less like a person and more like the embodied patron goddess of America, and should be treated as such.”

made this before i came up with a punchline and wound up too afraid of it to actually come up with one. rip
happy birthday to the greatest promo in wrestling history
i'd only ever seen the typography version before, so here's that if you've only seen the actual promo before!
fun fact: due to being out on injury, kurt angle was NOT added to the mix, and so Samoa Joe's chances did NOT drastic go down
as a result, Samoa Joe won at Sacrifice
THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE
I think people have truly lost any ability to be patient with storytelling.
‘I don’t understand this’ They’ll explain it if you wait.
‘I don’t like how this episode left things hanging’ There’s a continuation next week.
‘This character is flat’ Wait for them to be fleshed out.
So many of the complaints I see about shows lately are people being confused by things THAT THE SHOW WANTS YOU TO BE CONFUSED BY THATS THE FUN OF MYSTERY AND FORESHADOWING YOU ABSOLUTE GOBLINS THE MAIN CHARACTER IS ALSO CONFUSED AND THEYRE GONNA DO A BIG REVEAL AND EXPLANATION LATER IF YOU WOULD JUST FUCKING WAIT

“By my estimation, only seventeen percent of people have a properly-balanced soul. I will not elaborate. The remaining population can be split into two groups: those with an excess of humanity are called Hogs, and those with a dearth of humanity are called Monads. The Hog is characterized by inward provincialism: they cannot conceive of the state-structure, and thus view the world around them as a collection of discrete, infungible events which cannot be collated and/or compared. The Monad, meanwhile, is frictionless, voluntarily subsumed within the state-structure. Thus, the Monad sees individuals as mere manifestations of the state-structure, and is incapable of truly comprehending autonomy to the extent of being able to make useful predictions. Both Hog and Monad are trapped in a life of rote stimulus-and-response - it cannot even be called a cycle, for cycles require both pattern-building and a sense of thematic aesthetics, which can only be harmonized with a properly-balanced soul. This has all been scientifically proven, by me, just now.”

Well this is a new one.
[ID: a question that says "Gender Identity" with the options "No" and "Yes." No is selected.]
I’d personally like a slider scale from “no” to “yes” so you could say how much gender
there are an infinite number of genders between 0 and 1
I hope all those managers are forced to do backbreaking labor and realize that the higher ups consider them to be just as expendable as the people they’re replacing. likes charge reblogs cast
holy shit I didn’t know that. I’d heard the year 1947 (the year the Taft-Hartley Act passed) brought up a lot in the history of the American labor movement and I have a better appreciation for that now.

legitimately so excited about all the strikes that are in the works or already happening. fuck em up!!!!!
FDR didn’t do the New Deal out of the goodness of his heart, he did it because he and his cabinet read the room and saw that the options were 1. do something like the New Deal or 2. let dockworkers and teamsters go on strike and shut down the entire US economic engine. I hope decades from now there will be history books about the 2023 Summer of Strikes.
