Did you know if you took a humans small intestine and stretched it out end to end, you would go to jail :)

I had a dream where Will Wood and Mitski had a super public fight on twitter or something and all of their fans started spamming stupid memes like “Imagine crying over a wooden toy rat” or “mitski fans when they see a washing machine: [insert crying baby image or whatever]” but then everyone got together to organize this huge fight to the death on August 9th in Washington DC at this like super specific time, so Will and Mitski were on twitter saying shit like “AUGUST 9TH. SEE YOU THERE, PINNOCHIO” and “WASHINGTON DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. CANT WAIT TO SEE YOUR DOWNFALL, COWBOY”

all these posts about people clutching their pearls about seeing bare titties at pride make me laugh because at last year's pride i met a cishet guy who had no idea what was going on and had joined because he saw bare titties and thought "those people look like they are having fun, and also i can see tits for free" and he asked me about what was happening and let me explain LGBT struggles for some time before telling me he had a transgender cousin and he was going to make sure to be there for her in the future. bare tits will be the beacon to world peace

Can we just stop and think about how perfect it is that T.rex got the name it did?

Like, paleontology was still a new field when it was discovered. There were probably like ten dinosaurs listed at the time, and they already gave T.rex the greatest dinosaur name ever. There were thousands of species waiting to be discovered that could’ve proved a better fit for the name.

Imagine if Herrerasaurus had been discovered first and they had decided to call it Tyrannosaurus rex because it was a big predator by their standards? It would’ve become a joke about how the great “tyrant lizard king” was actually a little runt compared to later theropod findings.

Or imagine if they gave T.rex a less impressive name, like some other dinosaurs. It could’ve been called Wyomingsaurus or kept the name Manospondylus gigas. What sort of name is “giant porous vertebrae”?

But thankfully it didn’t happen. The president of the American Natural History museum looked at this fossil that was just one of the first of an entire world of dinosaurs waiting to be discovered, and thought “You are the baddest dinosaur we’re ever going to find, so you’re getting the baddest name we can give.”

And it worked. It’s been like 119 years since T.rex was discovered and it’s still the most badass theropod we’ve ever found, with the strongest bite force of any land animal and so successful that wherever it appeared in the fossil record other predators disappeared. It was so badass that as juveniles they outcompeted small-to-medium adult predators.

The baddest dinosaur ever could’ve gotten a weaksauce name, or the baddest name ever could’ve gone to an undeserving dinosaur. But it didn’t, and now the greatest land predator to ever walk the earth has the equally greatest name Tyrannosaurus rex, the motherfucking Tyrant Lizard King.

white trans mascs specifically those around my age (15-19) need to understand that their experience of being trans isn’t universal. my gender isn’t ‘feral little gremlin who never washes’ bc as a black person i am already seen as dirtier than my white counterparts. i also have no interest in being seen as feral bc once again, as a black person, i am dehumanised against my will. i’m not the first transmasc of colour to discuss this either.

this is why so much of the trans activism is just really freaking white washed, because everything “considered” liberating for white trans folks is often usually just un-liberating for black people and I think when we try to speak up on this we often get a ton of shit for it 

Happy MLK Day 👌🏾 here's your yearly reminder that no matter the type of message, your textbook white washed MLK was STILL assassinated bc of hate.

I'm literally looking at a hate mob right now driving through my city -_- this shit is a lil scary ngl

At Target this lady told her son he couldn’t have a Wonder Woman doll because “that’s for girls” and then bought her daughter the same one. It got me thinking about how often I see people bar young boys from appreciating girls/women as protagonists and heroes, and my own experience with it as a kid.

Drawing diversity is not something that you are born with (especially if you dont see diversity in your real life), I couldn't draw anything else other than white girls till the age of 17-18 or something. Harassing an artist bc there is something they don't know yet is fucked up.

how is criticizing a cropped image without even naming the artist in question considered harassment. also if you scrolled further in the notes you'd see op responded that the artist is a grown adult, still without name dropping. you can unclench now.

people on here will reach as far as far as humanly possible to excuse racism in art. "what if op is a queer neurodivergent minor with a particular new undiagnosed disorder that makes them unable to draw non-white features in any capacity and also they have anxiety and might get a panic attack and get trauma because you criticized them? what if they die? would you be sad? would you cry?"

“EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL TO THE POINT OF STERILE UNFUCKABILITY. ” 1 . // 2. // 3.

I feel like as an ace with mild facial blindness I feel this so hard. The Amy Pond quote about Roy being the most beautiful man she has ever met smacked me like bricks because it never occurred to me that people approached appearances like that. I know a friend’s mannerisms at a distance before I could ever place their face. I can tell you which manager is in by the keys bouncing on their leg in the hall and step cadence. I squeal with delight upon hearing the door and knowing exactly which uncle just stepped in from the cold at grandma’s just by the handle turning.

So this uncanny valley social media thing has really struck me as “now everyone kinda gets it”. Between the Amy Pond “their face has their personality written all over it and they become so beautiful” and this “tik tok is weirdly sterile and form made” rant/dissection… I feel like it is becoming more and more obvious how fake everything seems and it REALLY isn’t just the filters. Unless you consider catfishing your personality to be palatable online for viewers to be a filter…

“You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful, and then you actually talk to them, and five minutes later they’re dull as a brick. But then there’s other people, and you meet them and you think ‘not bad, they’re okay’, and then you get to know them, and their face sort of becomes them, like their personality’s written all over it, and they just they turn into something so beautiful…” - Amelia Pond on Rory Williams, Doctor Who
