As someone who falls into 3 of these categories, I feel very called out by my own meme 😅

Hand 1: Trans & non-binary folks

Hand 2: Bi & pan folks

Hand 3: Aro & ace folks

Hand 4: Neurodivergent folks

In the middle between them all: "Wait… doesn't everyone feel this way?"

I’m pretty sure that as far as “infuriating helmets you’d hate to see before you get stabbed” go, this one is definitely up there

Up there, yes, but is it really quite all the way at the top?

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

To wit:

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕

I see his robot as an absolute win

OK - a very tangential takeoff: Engineering prof assigns students this question: Explain how to determine the height of a very tall building using a barometer.

Obviously meant to use change in barometric pressure with altitude. But one student submitted the following:

There are several ways of doing this

1. On a sunny day, stand the barometer up in the sun, measure the length of its shadow relative to its height, then measure the length of the building’s shadow and calculate its height from that.

2. Go into the stairwell and climb the stairs to the top, marking off the length of the barometer on the wall, giving you the height of the building in “barometer units”.

3. Go onto the roof of the building and drop the barometer off the top and time how long it takes to hit the ground, then calculate the height using the well known formula of 32 ft./sec./sec.

4. Go into the office of the building superintendent and say “If you tell me how tall this building is, I will give you this nice barometer”.

Newton….

This is basically any DnD party solving puzzles but with more success.

Okay op first of all this is strikingly breathtaking and I can't believe I'm not looking at a real animal oh my gods!!!!!! 😭😭😭

Secondly I need you to know it looks like my cat

Someone did this in BLENDER and threw it on Tumblr for FREE and Disney with all their custom-made cutting-edge state-of-the-art programs can’t pull off realistic water bubbles and wants you to pay twenty bucks a ticket for it.

Support unions for CG artists. This is what being allowed to have passion looks like.

I love that I could tell it had hooves even though you covered the feet in grass. Phenomenal movement work!

I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.

My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813

And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like

Some people have been wondering about the raccoon. Listen. Listennn. Don't ask about the raccoon.

But does the racoon survive the Uruk-Hai? Does he curl up on Aragorn's head, or does he go straight to Faramir? Does he bite Denethor?

My friend. My colleague. My brother my captain my king. I too have been pondering this question, and in my mind there can be only one ultimate outcome.

A few months later

All hail the High Warden of Gondor.

Epilogue: It ADORES Faramir.

Probably not the point of the post, but a lot of people shit on Boromir for a lot of really dumb reasons that he 100% does not deserve.

Boromir was a captain. This man cared deeply for his men, his brother, the fellowship, and the people he worked with. He and Faramir had a distaste for their father and Boromir made sure to uplift Faramir at every point.

Unlike most leaders, Boromir’s love and compassion directed his decisions. His seemingly bonehead decisions were all out of a deep concern for his people. He didn’t want to risk innocent lives or put his soldiers in unnecessary danger. He was described as a pinnacle of what humankind was capable of.

He also fell victim to the ring. Just like everyone else. Just like Isildur. Just like Gollum. Just like Galadriel. Just like Frodo. Just like Bilbo. The only person incapable of being affected by the ring we know of was Samwise. Boromir was affected just like 99.99% of Middle Earth. He wasn’t weak. Sauron’s ring was just that powerful. Boromir was an example of what the ring could do to a truly incredible man.

This thread omg

Family doesn’t have to be blood related.

Sometimes family is a righteously angry little girl, her supportive brother, a random stranger with a thirst for chaos and justice, two foreign grandmas, and The Rest Of The Plane.

yasss this makes me happy like nothing else lol

Americans will measure in anything except the metric system

So apparently this is just this guy's thing

Average american unwilling to measure using metric system factoid actually a statistical error. Measurements Georg who refuses to use metric system on 10,000 posts a month is an outlier and should not have been counted.

One day, Clark is bored at work so he messages Bruce saying as much, hoping they could talk for a bit to help pass the time.

What he did not expect was for Bruce to tweet 'ostriches arn't real'.

The office becomes alive with activity. Perry marches over and tells Clark to write an article about how one of the richest men in the world does not believe a bird exists.

The interview?

Clark Kent: "Would you care to elaborate on what you meant about not believing ostriches exist?"

Bruce Wayne: "No."

Others then ask Bruce what his thoughts on other birds are. Penguins? Real. Flamingos? Not real. Pigeons? Some are, some arn't. It depends.

On the upside Clark's afternoon became a whole lot less boring. On the downside there is now a Twitter account called 'BirdsBruceWThinksArntReal'.

“robins?” clark asks as the last question.  “robins aren’t birds.” 

Throwback to that time I convinced someone to start reading Discworld by telling them to read just one chapter and hours later they texted me a rude gesture and a message that simply said "well played"

Anonymous asked:

LAPSELOCK. thank you for giving it a name. obviously i type like this casually, but people writing actual things without using capitalization??? what the fuck???????

The other day, someone mentioned Killing Stalking in an ask and someone else thought they meant the crimes, not a proper noun.

I'm not saying one can't write more casually. I use a lot of sentence fragments on tumblr. But even here, some judicious capitalization can be helpful.

Please stop spreading dangerous misinformation. When using a beam attack remember to use at least paired 2x8s, 2x4s simply can't handle most girls' loads.

i can handle a girls load if that helps
