brain rot, my beloved

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

Only if we also celebrate the black women engineers alongside the astronauts

Everyone loves this post

my friend asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend because her parents are homophobic af but they ended up hating me so much that they were glad when she said she was gay task failed successfully

congrats on being so awful a boyfriend you destroyed homophobia

educating myself.

I think this may be the greatest article on wikipedia. Possibly the entire internet

Important research on the subject. I want to see if I can find any articles about this in google scholar but im concerned the final threads of my sanity may snap if I do

YEAAAAAAAA

Based off of this tumblr post!

Sirius *researching how to help Remus after full moons*: oh what’s this?

*opens article titled ‘How to Help Your Girlfriend During Her Time of the Month’*

Sirius: well that sounds about right I think

Article: give her lots of chocolate and ice cream!

Sirius: He does like those. I guess they might help

Article: Lay down a towel and get to work cause orgasms are the best pain relief!

Sirius: 😮

Sirius: …. wait what’s the towel for?

*a few days and one full moon later*

Remus *panting*: Pads… please… I really can’t go again

‘Blissed out Remus’ for @spindrifters

guys I did the thing

a childhood spent silently.

THE NOIR-HOBIE INTERACTIONS THAT I MADE UP IN MY MIND ARE VERY REAL TO ME. SONY PLEASE PICK UP WHAT I’M PUTTING DOWN!!!

Puppy falls asleep in news anchor’s arms - she’s immediately adopted & others line up to adopt her littermates

Has anyone else noticed that as a society, we’re shamed for wanting to sleep? Sleeping in is bad, naps are only okay if they’re 20 minutes, you cant be tired unless you’re a <insert career/lifestyle choice here>, so on and so forth.

I mean, I think we all need to spread our blankets out, cuddle a pillow, and go to sleep. Everyone needs more of it, fuck this “it’s not productive” nonsense. It’s okay to sleep, it’s okay to want to sleep. You’re not lazy because of it.

Early tumblr privilege.

Some better pictures of the leafkerchief. It’s made of a plain green cotton, with facings in a much lighter weight cotton, and after I sewed and turned all the points right side out I topstitched as close to the edge as I could. The inner edge of the facing is hand sewn with a slipstitch, and the veins are painted on.

I got a lot of questions about this, so I will do a blog post about it, and will include a pattern diagram!

Alrighty, the blog post is up and I drew my pattern out on an inch grid so you can scale it up and make your own!

Finally finished making a video tutorial!

i can imagine this in all kinds of fall leaf colors too

Two of the ones I made in the video are fall colours!

There’s also a nice shot of me lying facedown on the ground tossing handfuls of dead leaves onto myself.

Not dinosaur related, but I put a lot of effort into this video so I’m reblogging it here too!

I laugh every single time

thinking about them

The bottom two panels are them responding to “do you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband”

starting a new company, Autistic Auditors, where we send blunt autistic people to check up on things like companies to stand there and be like “actually that thing the CEO said made no sense, elaborate” and pushing them to actually explain their dodgy corporate language that avoids accountability and reliability. Just really grind them down with repeated “why” and “but what does that mean” and writing down the answers in clear and obvious language.

IDK I’m just sick of hearing how Business Bros talk and how many people are suckers for it. I want blunt people standing there going “hey, that guy didn’t actually SAY anything, he just strung together a bunch of nonsense corporate words to make you think ‘ooo profit’ but there’s nothing substantial here”

We would do the same to politicians.

Finding someone that understands The Character™ the same way you do

…And this is why when you’re writing and (being in the heat of composition) you use a “placeholder” term or phrase to mark a spot where you intend to come back and coin something more specific, you make sure to (a) make a note of the placeholder, and (b) actually do the coining in the “cleanup” pass on the submission draft. Otherwise something like “X and Y” may actually make it all the way to press.

(sigh)

And yet X and Y is a believable title for a modern avant garde Klingon opera
