cringe culture is stupid actually. buy a skateboard because sk8 made you want to learn. sign up for a swim club because free! got you interested in it. pick up a book on astronomy because koisuru asteroid caught your attention. join the school volleyball team because haikyuu!! made it look like fun. give ice skating a try because yuri!!! on ice captivated you. practice the choreography to your favorite love live! song, learn to play an instrument you liked in k-on!, make your own robot inspired by the mechs in neon genesis evangelion. don’t be afraid to give something fun and new a shot because you think the reason is embarrassing.

FUCK YES

There’s ‘black comedy’ and then there’s M*A*S*H.

always reblog MASH, it deserves more on tumblr

Always reblog War is war and hell is hell

Fun fact, the DVD box sets have an option turn off the laugh track and it makes it a much more somber and enlightening social commentary. Cause it may be set in the Korean War, but it’s really about the Vietnam War.

I feel like M*A*S*H is one of those series that never actually goes out of date. Everyone should see it.

No, M*A*S*H never does go out of date, and unlike a lot of shows from the 60s up, you don’t sit there cringing because “How did I like that?  How was that funny?” like with so many other TV shows that are embarrassingly dated.  You watch it, and the humor, the comments, everything is still, sadly, relevant.  I still watch the reruns.  I was born and bred on this show, and I’ve always watched the reruns, and it always remains a good punch and a good punchline.  

The best TV show ever made, and this is one of the best scenes.

Netflix basically just ruined the career of a black Muslim woman. They fucked up with the promotion of that movie

Cuties is not some sick pedophilic movie.

The director, Maïmouna Doucouré, is a Senegalese woman and the movie is based off her own life. The movie talks about the hypersexualisation of young girls.

Y'all rushed to send her death and rape threats and she had to deactivate all her socials.

This is the original poster but for some reason Netflix decided to put out that other one and use that gross description.

You can talk about how frustrating it is that Muslim girls only get "I hate my religion and some white person is saving me from oppression" as representation. But this is not that. She's talking about her life. The problems you have aren't with her it's with production companies.

I’m so scared

Fuckboy Deadpool stans: *identify with Deadpool as some sort of outlet of their insecure masculinity/heterosexuality and rebellion against “PC” culture*

Ryan Reynolds: *reaffirms Deadpool as pansexual literally every chance he gets, wants Deadpool to have a boyfriend in the film franchise, makes Deadpool act campy and effeminate as fuck in the movies, does a charity campaign for cancer where Deadpool dresses in pink and sits next to a pillow that literally says “feminist” on it, goes out of his way to hire a woman of color to portray the female lead in Deadpool 2, literally hires Celine Dion to write a Titanic-esque power ballad for the Deadpool 2 soundtrack and makes a music video where Deadpool prances around in high heels feeling his fantasy like the gayest gay that ever gayed*

Fuckboi Deadpool stans: 

You gotta love Ryan Reynolds, because he truly was born to play this character.

He’s a canadian composed of snark. He basically is deadpool minus the tragic backstory

let’s be honest, Green Lantern was his tragic backstory 

When did hikers develop the collective impulse to stack rocks and make obnoxious, useless decorative cairns at every park and river they visit? I don’t remember seeing them as a kid except as trail markers, but now they’re EVERYWHERE. What part of “leave no trace” don’t people understand?

I’m gonna leave a trace and it’s gonna be a cool ass rock tower in the woods :D

Please don’t! 

If you want to build rock towers, get your own rocks and build them at home. That’s perfectly fine. But rocks provide vital habitat for wildlife, especially in stream bed; moving and stacking them leaves them without shelter, crushes them, exposes their eggs, and leads to soil erosion and bank destruction. Leave them where they are.

Furthermore, cairns are used as trail markers to indicate routes. Creating pointless cairns for funzies and Instagram can actually be dangerous to other hikers who rely on them for navigation, and immensely frustrating for rangers. We don’t say “leave no trace” to be mean–we’re trying to protect both the environment and our visitors. 

we’ve already proven how fucking stupid op is. this shit is so fucking annoying. aside from creek beds stacking rocks isnt hurting the fucking environment. which once again i remind you we arent separate from. please calm down and stop acting like people living their life and creating art is destroying an ecosystem.

Huytuf, if you love lost hikers and crushed salamanders so much, why don’t you carve it into a lovely old tree and let the world know? Or perhaps you’d rather chisel in the sentiment of “my artistic whims are more important than the safety of others and the health of an ecosystem”? After all, if we’re not separate from the environment, nothing we can do can hurt it or cause problems.

But what do I know? I’m just a stupid old park naturalist who is, according to you, going to hell for discussing folklore while not being militantly Christian about it.

would it be okay to make a small one, then put the rocks back where they came from after you’ve taken pictures ect.

@maqpiie​​ Please don’t move them at all.

This is a Hellbender salamander. Hellbenders are the third largest aquatic amphibian in the world, and the largest amphibian in the US. They are extremely endangered, in huge part because people are moving rocks in what little habitat they have left to them. These big boys can live for decades and once they choose a rock to live under, that’s it, that’s where they live, and they do not do well relocating. Studies have found that if their rock is moved or even disturbed, the hellbender will not return to it- even if you can replace the rock how you think you found it. Moving rocks, even just briefly, runs the risk of crushing them, their young, their eggs, or depleting the places where their food sources hide (they eat mostly crawfish and small fish that hide among rocks), either from you moving the rock or from other rocks falling in the absence of the rock you moved. Even if it doesn’t immediately kill them, it can permanently displace and ultimately cause the death of one.

These are not the only creatures that suffer from habitat being destroyed, they are just one I happen to know the face, name, and situation of. Please, please, please. It’s not worth the photo. It’s just not. Leave nature in place where it belongs, leave no trace. Protect those that have no defense against you other than your choice to be kind to them.

it’s actually evil that ppl wanna say that they support bi women but then as soon as a bi woman is dating a man & she wants to talk about her attraction she’s shut down in lgbt spaces bc no one wants to hear about het relationships. if you shut down bi ppl discussing their attraction to the opposite gender then you are not an ally to bi ppl & you never were

i encourage you all to reblog this

I think Piers is somewhat of a national laughing stock by now

if I don’t reblog a good burn on piers morgan, assume I’m dead

Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.

Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.

Isaac Asimov.

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point

If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels

Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it

even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?

PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame

And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.

Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:

Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.

You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.

Got that?

Stick that in your international pipe and smoke it

I have literally been telling people this for over a year.

the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman

The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).

The day may come when I find this post and do not reblog it, but it is not this day.

Women invented language while men were hunting. I mean…

For reference and further fact-checking.

Women are amazing Dx <33

From his Rolling Stone interview, 1989:

“No matter how long you work, it’s always going to end sometime. And there’s always going to be things left undone. And it wouldn’t matter if you lived until you were seventy-five.

There would still be new ideas. There would still be things that you wished you would have accomplished. You could work for several lifetimes. If I could clone myself, there would still be too much work to do – even if there were five of me...

And there are no regrets....

Part of the reason that I’m not having trouble facing the reality of death is that it’s not a limitation, in a way. It could have happened any time, and it is going to happen sometime.

If you live your life according to that, death is irrelevant.

Everything I’m doing right now is exactly what I want to do.

RS:Do you get more impatient with the trivial things in life?

The opposite. Nothing is trivial. I wish I didn’t have to sleep. But otherwise, it’s all fun. It’s all part of the game...”

KEITH HARING passed away 30 yrs ago today, Feb 16th, 1990.

So do you think the Mandalorian could take off his helmet in front of his son? Like if they’re alone in the ship together now that The Child is officially his kid can he take the helmet off?

As an Offical Star Wars Nerd ™ I can answer this with a definitive yes.

The closest of family, AKA a spouse or child, is allowed to see a Mandalorian’s face. This includes foundlings they’ve adopted, and therefore yes, it would be acceptable for Din to take his helmet off in front of his new small green son.

Plot twist: as soon as he does, Baby Yoda starts making the most alarming noises and Din is panicking because he has no idea what’s wrong, until he realises that the little baby doesn’t recognise him without the helmet and is freaking out because OMG DAD TOOK HIS FACE OFF. It takes quite a few tries of taking off and putting it back on to reassure Baby Yoda that it’s okay and Dad is still Dad with pink face or shiny face, and start patting the visor curiously with small hands.

A couple of days later Din spots him trying to put an old metal canister on his head and having trouble with his ears.

ok so I drew this, I never draw comics/cartoons, only realism but it’s the best for tonight lmao

To people who use "þ" as an aesthetic "p"

þink again.

getting thorny in the linguistics fandom

þorny*

That also goes for using ß as an aesthetic B. 

On my old server, there was a character named ßillyßadass.

This never failed to make me laugh, because that letter is not pronounced like B. It is a sharp S. 

That guy named himself SsillySsadass. 

Also to people who you Σ as an aesthetic E

that’s an S too, Σo maybe check next time

oh boy

Д as an aesthetic A? Дon’t be a дumbass.

И as an aesthetic N? don’t be sillи.

П as another aesthetic N? stoп it.

У as an aesthetic Y? ty bad.

Ш or Щ as an aesthetic W? nope. it’s “sh” and “shch”!

Я as an aesthetic R? surprise! it’s “ya”.

ah yes, that classic horror film SNYEYAPOVUL DIAYAIES

This is pronounced Stargoat.
