I’ve created a Medium, and am starting things off with a bang, talking about Devin Grayson’s and Marv Wolfman’s runs on Nightwing. Warnings for sexual assault, suicide, and abuse.
dinos are so weird that penguins didn't even make the top ten
hummingbirds have an unfair advantage huh
if i had a nickel for every time dinosaurs evolved powered flight, i would have three nickels-
with that said, the weirdest thing isn't any of these individually, it's that dinosaurs evolved flight three times, and also one of those times involves complex filaments instead of membranes, AND ALSO one specific group of those dinosaurs evolved to mimic everything it hears. The fact that one specific group of dinosaurs has all of these is Extremely Weird
dinosaurs are ridiculous, birds are even more ridiculous, passeriformes are so ridiculous its terrifying, and then among THOSE are ravens. like. wh a t.
u right my bad
dinosaurs evolved flight three times, and also one of those times involves complex filaments instead of membranes, and ALSO some of those filament having dinosaurs can mimic shit they hear, and ALSO different ones can sort of mimic but, more terrifyingly, can make tools and recognize other species by their faces

See this post and @lunette3002 ‘s comment on there
#damian dick and jason are all top contenders and tbh its REALLY hard for me to pick#BUT ! i think id get along best with jason i think he would enjoy my weird science fiction opinions#and i would enjoy his weird theatre kid classic lit opinions#im a reformed theatre kid so i know how to deal with them#dick and i would eventually wear each other out but it would be a pleasant wearing out#dami and i could probably have lots of good discussions abt art once we got over ourselves#alfred and tim would be the Least pleasant experiences it would be a herculean effort to stop me from punching White Boy Tim in the face#even tho hes 16#polls#a colony of bats

reddit refugees, reblog art, don't repost it
if you really like someone's art, reblog it. you can do that by clicking the little looping arrows at the bottom of the post. this will make it so the art appears on your blog and shows up to your followers, but the op is still credited and given notes.
reposting does not give credit. and no, saying "artist is ___" as the caption doesn't count, unless you have permission given directly by the artist.
if you have a funny or pretty image on your phone that you saved from reddit, don't post it here on tumblr, because 99% of the time it came from tumblr. use a reverse image search to try and find the original tumblr post, and reblog that.
taking that extra five minutes to find the original post of an artist you love will absolutely brighten their day and make the entire world a better place.
please, I'm begging you. reblog art. don't repost it.
I have reasons for each inclusion I recognize there are many dinos that are horrifically underrated
how
how is kulinda not winning
pigeons are powerful
side note, yes, stegouros is underrated, but its also super new - it may become correctly rated over time. the newest thing on there is halszkie and that's cause its a weird af raptor and has been around a while now and yet no one knows about it
but yeah how is kulinda not winning it didn't even get proper news coverage
pigeons are super underrated too like most people don't even know that they used to be domesticated and most pigeons don't even know that they can make actual nests
I feel so bad for pigeons (rock doves specifically, but also all of them in one way or another). We domesticated them, we relied on them, formed an interspecies partnership with them almost as strong as the one with dogs, and then when we didn't need them anymore we just released them into the wild, and they became feral, but they're all always sick because they eat human garbage, and humans - instead of feeling bad for these animals we essentially screwed over a million ways - eschew them, call them gross even though there are no recorded cases of pigeon -> human zoonotic diseases, and do everything we can to prevent them from living in our societies even though we literally domesticated them to be reliant on us.
they deserve so much more.
and also, I love my hometown, but fuck the city of chicago in particular for banning them as pets.
the above is exactly why i voted for pigeons, and also why i suggest you may want to consider making a poll for most underrated extinct dinosaurs if the pigeons are unbalancing it to much
(Bonus points if you explain how you would adapt it in the tags)
muppet metamorphosEs, but if i have to pick one OF THESE then war of the worlds because as a science fiction fan i can tell you we are TERRIBLE at recruiting young folks and i think this would be a great way to introduce people of all ages to science fiction

okay i just realized they meant "fascist" and not atleast 2 other words i can think of that are funnier
One of those ‘pick two pills’ things but it’s things I actually want
If you fall for a social media prank, do you reblog/pass it on to your followers?
maybe instead of calling us short kings you can try making cars and pickup trucks that we can actually drive and shelving units we can actually reach the top shelf of

do you also get cis people treating transmasculinity as something super fragile or that they need to affirm constantly? i dont know if this is a transandrophobia specific thing but i get people like over-affirming my gender all the time ("supportive" cis friends calling me a "man" too much, talking about my dick (despite me being. pre surgery. and also it being weird to talk about my genitalia w/o consent), commenting on me "looking like a man" on days im trying to pass more) its like weirdly just. reminding me im not cis for no reason? ive seen stuff where cis people will overcompensate by calling trans men handsome, but a lot of the time in my experience it seems to be directly linked with an obsession of me being a non-passing, pre surgery/"fragile" trans men, its so weird
This definitely isn't exclusive to transmasculinity- I've heard a lot of transfems talk about a similar experience of cis people being very "yass slay queen" in trying to affirm their genders, but (especially when they only do that to trans people) it just ends up being very alienating. I think it generally comes from a good place but there's definitely an issue of cis people both assuming transness is inherently insecure and needs cis approval to feel good about itself, and also having a very narrow view of transness & what trans people's goals are.
Personally I really dislike "short king" as an unprompted compliment because it often ends up just feeling demeaning and pitying (like "aww you're trying so hard to be sexy when you're so short! how cute :) here's a charity compliment lil guy") which just makes me more dysphoric about my height than if you just compliment me like a normal fucking person. It's like people want to be allies but still get uncomfortable/unsure when someone is presenting a certain way while being visibly trans, so they feel the need to either point it out in a "compliment" or overcompensate to try and make themselves feel better about us not being cis.
God I hate the term short king. We don’t call men over 6′0 tall princes.
Below the poll is a series of animal images labeled A through J. A is the least close to the birds we have today; J is the closest. If you encountered these animals in the wild, which would you call birds? If you pick a higher up option, then that means you consider all the below ones birds as well - so if you pick A, then BCDEFGHIJ are all birds. If you pick J, only J is a bird.

PLEASE REBLOG THIS SO IT CAN LEAVE PALAEOBLR. I NEED PEOPLE WHO DON'T RECOGNIZE THESE ANIMALS ON SIGHT TO VOTE.
I apologize to all of y'all with vision impairments for whom this poll is inaccessible. Alas, this is an experiment, and I cannot name the taxa. Thank you.

Since, in true Celtic fashion, I’m gonna start saying “it’s too hot” today, here’s the perfect poll…
Reblog & put your answers in the tags because I’m curious and need to know I’m not suffering alone
A very, very gentle reminder that "prev tags" is now completely useless, bc you can no longer click back thru the reblog chain and see the prev tags. You can see the reblog in front of you, and you can find the original post - by itself, completely devoid of context - but you can't click thru to the previous reblog. This is apparently intentional, since I literally emailed support about it - being able to click back thru the reblog chain and being able to see the source post in context on op's blog are fundamental parts of the user experience imo and I am pissed - and their response was basically like yeah we meant to do that but if you want to talk about it you can go to our WIP blog, where the ask is literally only open one day a week and we will completely ignore you.
Should go without saying but never date a cop and christ never marry one. Rule of thumb if he's legally untouchable he's ethically unfuckable. You don't like that cop, you like buff men in tight clothing. I can show you more of those, better ones. Take my hand.
