Matilda (movie) remake where Trunchbull looks like one of those hyper feminine bleach blonde Republican women you see on talk shows as the token girl/eye candy. And then Miss Honey is a soft-hearted, handy, tie-wearing Butch.
I love how every century or so the entire field of physics collapses on itself because of a few discoveries that go against everything currently known and then we just kinda have to wait a little while until it gets back on its feet
A chemist from the 1910s could pick up a modern chemistry textbook and understand quite a bit of it. They’d have lots of missing gaps but they could probably understand a decent amount. A physicist from the 1910s could pick up a modern physics textbook and not understand jack shit of it
A chemist from the 1910s in modern times: Woah! You guys discovered quite a few more elements of the periodic table! Cool!
A physicist from the 1910s in modern times: what the fuck is a particle accelerator
I mean to be fair a particle accelerator seems somewhat self-explanatory so long as you know what particles are
Yeah but the things that happen when you accelerate them continue to surprise
you WISH you were eating sweet mulberries from a stranger’s overgrown tree at twilight in a silent neighborhood
why is this getting notes. i was just bragging about my evening it was meant to be like a 2-3 note post with nothing but likes from mutuals
Politely, you did post something quiet and sweet on the yearning website
ok that one’s on me
bruh
OP forgot the best part, which is the last known instance of this phenomenon within the maritime sector
by far the funniest thing you can say immediately after winning the NBA finals
for those of you who don't follow basketball, this guy is the best player in the world right now
I've never watched a single episode of spn but I've been thinking about the implications of being stuck inside a meme
i must not afternoon nap. afternoon nap is the mind-killer. afternoon nap is the little death that brings total obliteration. i will face my afternoon sleepy tired and permit it to pass over and through me. and when it has gone i will turn the inner eye to see its path. where the afternoon sleepy tired has gone there will be nothing. only i will remain
It's it's BY GOD, IT'S JOHNATHAN HARKER WITH THE STEEL SHOVEL
I see Day 56 of captivity is going well
Everyone remembers where they were the day Jonathan Harker took a shovel to Dracula's stupid fucking head
Honestly if it becomes a Tumblr holiday, I won’t be angry
Happy Jonathan Harker Took a Shovel to Dracula's Stupid Fucking Head Day!!!
Part of why Jonathan Harker is a great character is that he does have breakdowns about the Horrors. But he also gets back up and faces the Horrors. And he hits the Horrors with the nearest possible weapon.
i hate you breathlessness i hate you brain fog i hate you dizziness i hate you tremors i hate you joint pain i hate you fatigue i hate you racing heart
got held up on the way to work today because there was a big snake trying to sun herself on the highway right on the way out of town & the lady in the grey subaru in front of me put her warning lights on & got out to try & shoo her into the grassy sunny verge on the other roadside. & it was afternoon and busy but the logging trucks stopped & waited & the family cars stopped & waited & the long haul truckers stopped & waited for that snake to cross the road. nobody so much as honked. & when the snake was safe the road was backed up in both directions but a fellow in a pickup truck waved at me to go ahead (i was waiting to turn right onto the highway) even though he could have made me wait until the whole long line of cars passed. what i am trying to say is: there is still love in this world. what i am trying to say is: happy pride to me & to that big old bull snake who will live to see another sunrise & to every person on that highway who decided that saving her was worth five minutes of delay
I know I've been over this but man HRT is good stuff. I wanna shake the hand of whoever invented it. It's a crime that I don't know who that is actually. They're more important than Einstein
id also been really curious about the history of hrt so i had some tabs open:
The first hrt treatments were mostly estrogen extracted during pregnancies to be used for menopause symptoms, but the first usage of those medicines for trans women is credited to the world's first Trans Clinic, opened in pre-WW2 Germany by Magnus Hirschfield, a gay jewish man.
Oh he looks delightful
Thank you grandpa
The comparasion to Einstein was actually made at the time too! He was commonly refered to as “the Einstein of sex”, to which he supposedly once replied that he would rather Einstein be called “the Hirschfeld of physics” lmao
Oh my god
Y'all have got to stop spreading fake news via the destiel meme, that shit needs to be an accredited source
This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.
Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”
boyonetta
ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m
wonder-meathead
can we have some context to this, perhaps?
Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.
Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.
That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.
(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)
just fucking read it
There are a lot of interesting things about this post but the AK-47 shaped spear is what really got me
This is just as wild with the context

Some of my favorite moments in the series
From the foreword to 2021 print of the comic.
kill the rhetoric that americans are so lazy that they won't take farm jobs. americans take labor intensive jobs all the time. the reason no americans will take farm jobs is because agricultural work is exempt from the vast majority of labor laws and labor protections, including the use of child labor. so only immigrants - people who have little to no protection from the law or other options for work - take most of these jobs. we have created a permanent underclass of labor and then say that americans are just lazy for not volunteering to be part of the underclass.
there are actually good discussions to be had about how alienated many americans are from food production (hi hello that's what my only popular post is about), but the real solution to this problem is to protect agricultural workers, citizens or not. ban child labor in its entirety. punish corporations and farm owners that abuse and poison their workers. reform the immigration process so that these people aren't barred from legal protection and recourse.
agricultural workers have been exploited since the dawn of civilization, but the US in specific has been doing this since slavery, and it evolved in the 30s when FDR's labor laws excluded them specifically because most agricultural workers at the time were black. now it's mostly latino immigrants.
food doesn't fucking pick or slaughter itself. but citizens aren't going to take these jobs when the entire industry is rife with abuse - both legal and illegal - and horrific wages and working conditions.
to be able to give such a small gift that brings so much joy is itself a joy
You can really see the transition from “oh god is that a fucking ticket” to “OH MY GOD ITS A TINY VERSION OF MY CAR”
The little skip he does *chef’s kiss*
where were they
they were there they just didn’t die
“Cats have nine lives” factoid actually just statistical error. Felinis georgis, who lived in North America and did not die for 6.5 million years, is a statistical outlier and should not be counted.
