was talking with gwen yesterday and she was like “yeah leonard nimoy’s cool. it’s cool that he’s gay” and i was like “he’s not gay. i also thought he was gay but he was just nice. you’re thinking of patrick stewart” and she was like “he’s not gay you’re thinking of stanley tucci” and i, thinking of steve busciemi, said “FROM SPY KIDS?” anyway just checked and none of these people are gay apparently. thanks for reading 

posts that make people say “stanley tucci IS gay, lol” and then google it and reblog again with “oh, huh. nvm” 

people don’t spray paint “bad wolf” in cryptic areas like they used to

it actually makes me really happy when you share a cultural food and someone else says oh, that’s almost the same as my cultural food!, and then they share it with you and they’re right, it is almost the same

it doesn’t really matter to me if it’s rooted in cultural exchange hundreds of years ago or if two groups of people made the same food independently in two different distant geographic areas, i love people and food and how food connects us in unexpected ways

all humans everywhere:

for a bonus tag what country you’re from bc most of my schooling was in portables and I am not sure how common that is

in case anyone in the US is wondering why portables are so prevalent, ONE reason (not the only reason) has to do with codes and laws that state that you can only build a school for the current population of students in that district. so like, if you have a rapidly expanding town/city -- new subdivisions are going up on all sides, it is clear there will inevitably be 1000 more students at this school within five years -- that doesn't matter, you can only build the school to accommodate the kids that are in that town at that moment

my high school was brand-new the first year I attended, and it was the second high school in the medium-small-but-growing city that it was in. it was the first new high school built in 45 years. the second year of the school's existence, portables were going in, and within ten years a third high school had to be built -- because my high school could not be built to accommodate all the students that everybody knew were going to be there shortly

Hey op, there are people on here who don’t know what a B-side is

That doesn't seem like something I would have jurisdiction over

NEW FIC! “Perfection Takes Time” (Newt/Hermann, Explicit)

Title: Perfection Takes Time (read on AO3) Author: Berlynn Wohl Rating: Explicit Pairing: Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb Word count: 2400 Summary: Fill for a prompt from one of my Tumblr followers: “Newt wants everything to be perfect. Hermann just wants to get off." 

Uprising? I don’t know her. I started writing this before the film came out, and my plans are to stand by my pre-Uprising headcanon, which is that Newt and Hermann survive the war ultimately unscathed, find a quiet life in academia, and live happily ever after…because it is what they deserve.

in honor of Hermann Gottlieb's birthday, please enjoy this Berlynn Classic(TM)

what the yellowstone caldera and my fanfic characters have in common

No matter how many years go by, it never stops being fun to go to a zoo or aquarium, find a fish whose name starts with "B," and remark, "I loved him on Sherlock!"

My body is a temple that is largely used for the management and storage of grains.

I arrived at the natural history museum two minutes before an eighth grade field trip group and they are saying to each other "that's you" while pointing at every creature imaginable

what are you even supposed to do when your friend points at a nudibranch and goes "haha that's you," how do you clap back in the face of that

where’s the picture of bruce and sting that someone captioned “lesbian couple”. that’s the only thing that can help me right now

This one?

YES. THIS ONE
