Pls do not reblog anything with the old disability pride flag, it does cause seizure and migraines, please use the new one which was created by the same person with the feedbacks of many other disabled people.

This is the safe one:

Dont use the zigzag one, your making disabled space inaccessible for a part of the community.

Oh ok...

What the fuck

what if it was...

....all a dream?

NOOOOOOO

petition to shorten "classic literature" to "clit"

my local bookstore did this with their classic lit section but now no one can find it

This is the worst joke I’ve seen and I am crying

What are you? 🚇(🐟)×⚡(🥼)

my brothers share special interests and my favorite thing to do is walk in a room and be like "hey guys can you tell me about the mariana trench" and then sit there for an hour while they both infodump to me about the ocean it's extremely entertaining

and my parents are always like "oh my god why would you do that" bitch. I want to learn about the ocean and these two thirteen year old boys r my most trusted source

I mean, I could google questions I have about medieval weaponry and horsemanship, but on the other hand I could message my sister the simple statement “have question about historical saddles” and get both a phone call and a comprehensive 3 page google document within an hour

Seriously, if you know someone who has a special interest you’d like info about, go ask them! It costs zero money, you make them happy, and you learn way more than a basic google search would tell you.

Asking is a love language

Asking is a love language

This is also true for people who are not autistic, like academics and people who enjoy teaching! One of my happiest memories is the time some of my friends were chatting on the porch, and one of them stuck their head in and said, “Hey Ash, why are owls associated with wisdom?” And I was like, “Well! It’s because--” and she called another friend and they let me teach them about Athena for two minutes.

So, a funny thing happened on trigun twitter

(amazon link where its 50% off as of May 8th: https://www.amazon.com/This-How-You-Lose-Time/dp/1534430997/)

Update, “this is how you lose the time war” is now #21 on Amazon’s bestseller’s list

(semi-related note but I too have now ordered the book)

another update: Amal El -Mohtar wrote a small article on her blog (https://amalelmohtar.com/i-tried-to-title-this-post-for-twenty-minutes-and-failed/), one which contains the words “[…] and the upshot of it all is that corporate marketing people at Simon & Schuster now know the name Bigolas Dickolas.”

Further update!

Time war has reached #7 on the amazon bestseller’s list and is still discounted!

(thread found here: https://twitter.com/tithenai/status/1655613629604016151?s=20)

In addition:

I know it made it up to #6 at one point. Being a pre-existing fan of both Trigun and This is How You Loose the Time War made this especially enjoyable.

I’m just going to add some more Twitter screencaps I pasted into the groupchat.

The producer of Trigun Stampede. (No word from Nightow yet, I checked.)

A literary agent. To be precise, the agent of at least one of the authors of Time War.

Slate, posting their article about the whole thing.

A frenzy of mutual adoration and signed hardcover offers.

Other authors want in on the Bigolas Dickolas goodness.

Dongwon again.

Saw this on Twitter and HAH.

Bigolas Dickolas is now Alexander the Great.

And finally, the forecast is good for a livestream of Max and Amal watching Trigun.

This is apparently still unfolding! Tumblr “news” is sometimes 5 years old so I wasn’t sure 😂 The latest - it’s up to #3!!

LMFAOO YEAH I JUST SAW IT HIT #3 been trying to keep this post updated but didn’t want to spam, and the speed at which these things have been happening is beautifully astounding so:

trigun, following bigolas dickolas, has also become a trending topic in business and finance

Interview with Bun (or Mr. Bigolas)

Crossover art (https://twitter.com/xxrat__punkxx/status/1656446745088278529?s=20)

thread of semi-current placements on the book

memes

and the situation very much escaping online confinement xD

A significant number of hours later (and too much to summarize):

Time War summary: reached #3 on Amazon overall, #1 (and 2, And 3) in science fiction romance, #3 in lit and fiction, social media presence overseas, and- 

printing with a bigolas dickolas sleeve and so much more

Bridging the two: so many articles

And then on the bigolas dickolas trigun side-

And then after tweeting @ dark horse for a potential trigun maximum (trimax) reprint due to the eng verison being out of print for several years by this point:

so everything can now basically be summed by by this tweet!

(I don’t know if i’ll keep updating this thread considering how many branches there are and idk how much more this can escalate, but I’m keeping an eye on the situation so we’ll see!!)

For those asking what time war is about, per Mr. Bigolas’s post: DO NOT look up anything about it. Just read it.

For those asking about trigun, it is an amazing manga, anime adaptation, and new reboot anime.

Haven't been feeling great about my posture. Does anyone have any advice. Here's a super rough sketch of how I often work

somebody PLEASE find the gif of the guy with the really stiff pants slamming a girl on a bed or whatever

Its the wrong trousers gromit!

certified iconic post

OP: "So it turns out the plucking of the hairpin and the hairstyle falling apart the way it does in novels really is real."

Pineapple.

do you like the color of the sea

will you just let me be silly for a sec. there's this dread so ancient in me

Wait this is funny

This humor is so fucking advanced yet so fucking simple at the same time

a boy's tummy is a great place to leave kisses. try it!

Honestly? I see why the yiga are so insane about him. I, too, am utterly charmed by his rabid charm and silly antics

Also, he somehow taught himself how to Ultrahand without having the actual Ultrahand, then taught everyone else in the clan how to do it. And then in BotW, he used Sheikah Slate runes without having any access to a Sheikah Slate. Considering how much Hyrule loves making its Super Special Tools inaccessible to anyone who wasn’t destined to be a Hero, plus he had zero access to the requisite Helpful Tutorial NPCs to help guide him through it and had to figure it out on his own using incomplete old instruction manuals that probably weren’t even written in modern Hylian, that’s extremely impressive! The guy may be silly and unmotivated for grand heroics, but he’s no dummy.

I HATE YOU SUPREME COURT!!!
