"it's not queer fiction unless the queerness is explicitly declared in the text according to currently accepted terminology and in a way that meets the approval of the entire audience" I mean follow your heart I guess but I trust myself as a queer person to recognise queer themes
"but doesn't this risk giving the author undue credit for queer representation" I do not care about the author
Reblog to bonk your mutuals on the head every time they start thinking negatively about themselves
specifically this kind of bonk.
I. Love this.
Love it.
Oh my god
yes.
This is it, I found it, the funniest post on this entire godsforsaken website
I will never get over how brilliant this comic is. The artist could have just drawn a single image in response, but instead we have this masterpiece. The world doesn’t deserve @iguanamouth.
Y'all can keep at it with that “Romeo and Juliet fell in love in five days how immature” shiz but Macbeth went from no murder to yes murder in like one afternoon and I feel like one of those is a significantly bigger problem than the other

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

we are in a media literacy crisis
friendly reminder that characters don't need to be saints to be entertaining. and telling a story does not mean endorsement. art does not need to be all about morally good people.
IDK if this was meant as hyperbole but it's literally true:
We are genuinely in a crisis of media literacy, with ever fewer genuinely factual resources available in the style and language used by contemporary audiences.
It may sound condescending, but we genuinely need to remind people, or worse, explain to them for the first time that art is not evidence of real world behaviour.
So, thank you, for this reminder. Genuinely.
You're correct:
Art does not need to feature exclusively morally pure characters. Art is not proof of the creator's secret, violent desires.

Clean the mold out of your reusable water bottle including the cap and straw
Mold poisoning will kill you and has a high chance of causing severe hallucinations and nightmares while it's doing it. My final message goodbye
Oh, hey, yea that's a good reminder! Wait a second tho
A year or so ago I saw someone who studies bacteria on food surfaces talking about how she never ever uses a water bottle for longer than 2 days without washing it with hot water and soap or running it through the dishwasher and I've become really adamant about it ever since. Everyone has enough water bottles to keep them cycling through the dishwasher and in use.
Also please don't die.
Yup to all of this, but also, if you read this and went “lol, I have too much ADHD for that - do you know how many water bottles I would actually need to buy?”
I need you to listen closely, right now
Yes, you might, in fact, need to buy a mountain of water bottles
“But the plastic-”
There comes times when disability, sustainability best practices, and your health cannot co-exist
And you cannot stop being disabled
You might need to not only buy a mountain of water bottles, but also keep prepackaged single use water bottles for emergencies when every surface of your house is covered in reusable water bottles that haven’t been cleaned, and you find yourself asking “what’s the harm in using this one for one more day?” for the seventh day in a row
Or going “well, I’m not that thirsty anyway” and stopping drinking water altogether
Don’t make yourself ill holding yourself to standards you cannot meet
Well, this stopped me cold.
"There comes a time when disability, sustainability best practices, and your health cannot co-exist.
"And you cannot stop being disabled."
I would like to reframe this: The same sort of people who push ‘personal responsibility’ as the key to saving the planet also push the idea that disabled people don’t deserve to live. We could live in a world where disability, sustainable best practices, and your health co-exist - and the fact that we don’t is a choice made by other immoral people with more power than you individually will ever have access to.
Your existence is not a debt you have to pay off by denying your needs. You’ll be better at fighting the good fight if you are hydrated
also reuse the bottles from other drinks you buy as a water bottle
would recommend Powerade bottles specifically for this
Whenever possible, please do not do this. Single-use water bottles are not meant to be reused and can leach nasty-ass chemicals into your water.
we recently got a bunch more cups with lids and straws and now if I want to I could even use multiple cups in one day and I certainly change my cup at least once a day
(it is also very helpful for when I forget my cup at my desk upstairs and just. grab a new one from downstairs. couldn't do that when we had four cups for three people)
also they change color when cold and that's excellent
also-- I hadn't realized I liked drinking through a straw this much?? Drinking through a straw is awesome, why did no one tell me?

...that meteorites AREN'T hot when they land? The movies lied to all of us!
It turns out that they only spend a few seconds flaming through the atmosphere, which can be enough to melt the outside layer (called a "fusion crust"), but not to make a dent in the deep freeze of the center. Outer space is cold. Some fresh meteorites have even been reported with frost on them.
So if you do find a hot rock, that's what the scientists call a "meteorwrong."

this clip from make some noise s1e8 with oscar montoya and brennan lee mulligan is the only super mario bros content i care about personally
brennan lee mulligan has the greatest superpower: the unlimited ability to make an absolutely off-the-cuff monologue and then follow it up with the ultimate turnaround. he can share the power with others
but credit also needs to be firmly planted in the hands of oscar for hearing the prompt say "dramatic video game cutscene" and then going "got it, mario and luigi."
