A majestic view of a rain-laden cloud blasting hard.  When many clouds gather in the sky in this way and their waters fall like this in the same place, here a phenomenon we call the Flood is formed.-

This would make a midieval peasant believe in Cthulhu.

Fam, this makes me believe in Cthulhu, and I have a goddamn engineering degree

@gallusrostromegalus Is this what that downpour on your neighbor with the illegal fireworks was like?

I can’t tell the scale of this video but YEP! that’s what a “Microburst” looks like. The most ironically named meteorological phenomenon.“

“sex/romance/empathy makes us human,” they say. awful. pathetic. what makes us human is the urge to set things on fire

you’re actually correct!

Cooking is the one thing that only humans do and can be directly linked to the increase in our brain size

Burning the mammoth flank just a lirtle instead of eating it raw gives grug more calorie to think. Grug thinking about color symbolism in silence of the lambs

Behold, a (hu)man!

The bird that torments Prometheus learned something

Super fucked up that I can’t be a master-level expert in knitting AND woodworking AND silversmithing AND embroidery AND soap making AND spinning AND -

“Who would ever want to be immortal? Can you imagine the loneliness, knowing that there’s no one else like you, cursed to outlive -” shut up!! Some of us have shit to do and aren’t cowards!!

Baby, I'm gonna do stuff to you that'll get us banned from the Blair Witch Wiki for life.

I was having a normal conversation a few days back and I randomly had the thought "I'm good at this. I would be such a good treacherous vizier. oh, but that's not a job anymore..." and it left a weird melancholy in me that didn't go away for several hours

this is about david tennant telling a transphobic politician to “shut up” btw:

Nah, shutting up transphobes and homophobes it's always the right thing to do.

For the millionth time the freedom of speech protects you from the GOVERNMENT not the DAVID TENNANT

He’s a citizen criticising a politician also. That’s the direction that freedom of speech is supposed to protect.

Granted him being a celebrity means that many people think he’s no longer a citizen, but the fact remains that celebrities aren’t government.

I told @mistresskabooms over and over again that she could come to me about anything, and I'd still love her tomorrow.

So... she did.

She asked me about what the words "wage gap" meant when she heard them on the news. She told me when her friends in elementary school were "pretending to be mean to their imaginary girlfriends," and she asked me if she'd done the right thing by leaving "and taking their girlfriends with me." She told me when the kids on the bus started calling her a faggot. She talked to me when she read Night in school.

And she told me she's a girl.

If kids don't feel safe coming to you about everything, they won't come to you about anything. Not anything that matters, anyway, because they won't be sure that the thing they're coming to you about won't get them into trouble.

But, of course, that's exactly the point here. These things - we know this, right? - aren't about "keeping kids safe." They're about control, and they're about keeping kids ignorant and - most of all - afraid.

If you are afraid of being contaminated mentally, of being accidentally ruined, of seeing something Bad and becoming Bad yourself, you become easier to control. If you understand that reading about something doesn't mean you agree with it, and that words and ideas may be scary but that simply knowing that an idea exists, or reading about a thing, does not make you that thing, you become much harder to control. You become harder to control because you become more able to test the things you think that you know against new ideas, things like "are gay people Bad, actually?" and "what if a pregnant person could have more legal rights than a corpse?" and "what did the water and sky look like before the EPA?" or "wouldn't ranked choice voting be neat?"

Just for starters.

The idea of "mental contamination" is big in Evangelical circles, but that ain't the only place, not by far. If you're thinking, "Man, that idea sounds like a concept that shows up a lot in leftist spaces and on Tumblr," you are correct.

This concept is a concept of control. It does not exist to make you stronger. It exists to make you afraid and to keep you from questioning yourself and the world around you. This lack of questioning becomes like wearing a cast around your leg forever. Technically, yes, it keeps your ankle safe, but in the process, the lack of exercise withers your calf muscle.

This leaves you with a worldview that cannot stand up to any kind of meaningful stress or challenge. Things are right because they're right, not because you can defend why they're right. These kind of default beliefs are fragile, soft, and easily shattered or shredded.

This shit doesn't protect kids. It makes them fragile and weak, unable to formulate worldviews they understand well enough to defend and worldviews strong enough to hold up to the rigors and stresses of life.

Reading sports headlines while pretending sports doesn't exist suggests a fascinating world of magic and whimsy.

staying close w people long distance really is about the mundane stuff. i get texts like "made quesadillas" "spilled mop water all over the floor :(" "lady on the bus has not one not two but three tiny dogs in her purse" andits like wow. i love you more than words can express

Making fun of bi women married to men and het trans people makes you a loser btw and it's not going to get you any pussy or clout, it just makes you look like an asshole. Pride month PSA

Queer mlw relationships are as valid as every other queer relationship
