A personal blog devoted to SnK, worships to manga. Spoilers spoilers everywhere. Semi-hiatus.

what I need you to know about the green knight (2021) is that gawain is the best main character in the world. stupid as shit. not a single good or even decent decision in sight. absolute train wreck of a man. doesn’t know how to make a bonfire or defend himself against anything or anyone. always wet for some reason. lost and confused the majority of his screentime. life throws all these challenges at him and he just fucks up every single one of them. no redeeming qualities. worst knight I’ve ever seen. all this man has going for him is his dazzling cape and the fact that everyone feels the overwhelming urge to cradle his face gently. i’m so in love with him

In today’s edition of ‘Boomer Did Whatever The Fuck They Wanted’, I just learned 90% of the Persian poetry quotes out there - especially Rumi and Hafez - are actually fake. Apparently this guy Daniel Ladinsky randomly started to ‘translate’ Persian poetry back in the 1970s despite not knowing a single word of Persian, and when he ran out of bad Victorian translations to plunder, he claimed Hafez appeared to him in a dream as a ‘fountain-shaped God of light’ and told him to write poetry under His name. So Ladinsky started to publish his own poems marketed as - and sold as, to this day - Rumi, Hafez and Sufi mysticism.

duolingo has more gay representation than the marvel cinematic universe

Can you please elaborate?

there are more gay characters on duolingo than the marvel cinematic universe

How? I don’t see it

the example sentences can be stuff like “her wife” or a man saying he loves his boyfriend, and the stories (at least in spanish) include gay couples.

Ok I totally agree with you but when I saw “duolingo has more gay representation than the marvel cinematic universe” I thought you were talking about how the duolingo owl was gay

Ok so there’s this Disney show called The Owl House, and, as the name implies, it has both owls and gay characters. Naturally, this lead to people making jokes about shipping one of the owls and the Duolingo owl. For a while, that’s all it was, just some fans saying “haha what if these owls were gay?” Somehow, Duolingo eventually heard about this, and started occasionally referencing The Owl House on their Twitter, including in this tweet:

If that art doesn’t say “These Owls Are Gay And There’s Nothing You Can Do About It” I don’t know what does

Duolingo owl says Gay Rights!!

Anonymous asked:

What are the leaks??? I haven’t heard anything about them…

Zekken is posting leaks on Baidu. The leaks are fucking bonkers so far and are unconfirmed, but Zekken has been right before. I thought he was full of shit when he leaked Ellen becomes dove (crying) but... welp.

So far, what’s come out is that Mikasa has a husband (possibly Jean) and a child, Paradis gets destroyed in the end, and the power of the Titans remains. There’s no proof that any of this is true. I really hope it isn’t, but who knows?

John Mulaney, a man who is iconically known for loving his wife, after being told by Jerry Seinfeld that his wife only thinks shes good at something

Well done OP, you’ve managed to capture the moment John’s spirit left his body

Jerry’s lucky that John is too polite to throw hands

Okay but I just went and watched this for myself and it’s WORSE

He’s. So uncomfortable. It’s obvious. I cut out the part where John kind of muttered, “That is true, isn’t it” about how all men think they’re funny, but his face is just screwed up in this ‘oh god what have i done what have i signed up for this is not good and this will probably go into my next comedy special of awkwardness’

Just watched this omg bless john bc jerry just keeps trying to do some “take my wife” bullshit and john very politely goes no, no.

proud of John for restraining himself from murdering a man on camera

What’s so horrifying about this to me is that this is literally Jerry Seinfeld trying to teach John Mulaney how to gaslight his wife.

Look at that dialogue. “She thinks she knows.” He’s trying to get Mulaney to see his wife’s expertise as instead a weird misperception. He’s coaching him to undercut his wife’s confidence in the truth and her own abilities.

And Mulaney replies exactly the right way: “She does know.” He asserts not only that she’s perceiving the world accurately, but that she is an expert at something he’s not good at.

Dudes, don’t take this shit from other dudes. Mulaney isn’t by any means perfect but he aced this. Stand for the truth. Defend women’s objectivity. Promote women’s expertise.

Doesnt his wife also work with antiques too?like. Isnt that part of her actual job?

I reblog this every time because I don’t think people understand that Anna is literally an interior designer. She makes absolutely stunning Victorian Lampshades. Which she designs.. for the interior of a home… she’s literally an interior designer. She doesn’t think she’s good at it, she knows she’s good at it because it’s her fucking job

Team Mulaney.

This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…

Listen, this is serious.

Do not use the website called Sci-Hub!

It lets people access scientific articles for free. This is dangerous. It helps the free flow of knowledge and reduces the competitive edge of all the people who worked really hard to have been born into a wealth.

Like, it’s literally a website where you can type in the DOI of an article and read it, without ever having to pay the publisher who exploited the author.

So, again, do not, under any circumstance, use Sci-Hub. I mean, can you imagine a world where knowledge is free and easily accessible to everyone? Even, y'know, poor people?

Libgen also has many books online, including textbooks, searchable by name, author, and ISBN. Can you imagine textbook companies not getting their hard-earned income from poor college students? Here is the link just so you make sure that you never accidentally stumble across this horrible, unethical website.

Oh, and while we’re talking about books, if you’ve managed to stay clear from Libgen, definitely don’t go to zlibrary, where you can also find a lot of textbooks, but unfortunately they’re completely free.

nooo don’t use sites that make academic papers accessible to everyone, why would you do such a terrible thing

Above everything, don’t go to archive.org and search through the archived books for primary and secondary sources.
