we ask that the defense not say "me when i lie" while the witness testifies

I... I just had to

You did god’s work.

@tkingfisher I just read Attack of the Ninja Frogs with my kid

I’m glad the folks at NASA are having fun with XKCD too.

ooh, good choices, but I'm having trouble concentrating enough to decide because this bird will *not* leave me alone

Oh this is insidious.

Kemp has not yet heard Griffin's side of the story. He has seen him chasing Marvel. And he has what he is reading in the papers.

The papers that he knows are inaccurate (the obviously false "probably a fabrication") and incomplete (not addressing the one part of the story he knows directly). In one breath he goes from scoffing at their misread of the situation to building his entire analysis off of their testimony: he's mad, homicidal.

He's decided he's homicidal when Griffin has explicitly not killed anyone. He's decided he's insane before hearing his own side of the story - based on a source he already finds unreliable. That's the thing that gets me - the one part of the story he can independently verify is false, he even calls attention to it - but he takes the rest of the story as unexaminedly true anyway.

A general reminder—periodic cicadas pose no threat to anyone and their plant damage is limited to nipping off the ends of twigs. Please do not hose them with pesticide. They are slow and clumsy and confused and only want to make friends with other cicadas and eventually die of sexual exhaustion.

Yes, the screaming is a lot, but they’ve been extremely quiet neighbors for thirteen years, cut them some slack as they go through the most fraught time of their lives.

They are really important to the ecosystem! EVERYTHING is going to eat them when they fall over dead, so please do not cover them with goddamn poison and poison everything!

They're just little guys doing what they do!

They're literally just here to have a little fun! They can't even bite you! They're harmless. Leave them be!

I’m gonna be honest I do not care if a trans boy teen is annoying and has horrible taste in music y’all are just mean.

I’d rather hang around with Karkat who listens to Cavetown than someone who is mean.

I’m gonna be honest I do not care if a trans girl teen is annoying and makes cringy jokes y’all are just mean.

I’d rather hang around Bridget who likes to make Blahaj jokes than someone who is mean.

I’m gonna be honest I do not care if a nonbinary teen is annoying and dresses weird y’all are just mean.

I’d rather hang around with Bug who is scene than someone who is mean

when god made me he just wanted to see how many things could be wrong with a girl at once

you bully cecil about confessing his love on live radio but honestly if you like someone u should be as blunt about it as possible or nothing will ever get done.

like he had a strat and it worked. you cannot deny that it worked. you are sitting there single bc you don't have the courage the strength the vision to doxx a barber

He thinks it’s a minefield

alright guys. I did it. I finished reading the beetle. review: an absolutely terrible experience that I enjoyed thoroughly. the beetle's #1 favorite thing to do was to have a few passages of amusing character interactions and really quite suspenseful horror before violently reminding me "oh right I'm reading the beetle." I could occasionally get myself to engage with it on its own terms before it firmly crossed the "white slavery hysteria" event horizon and became a farce to me. I hope marjorie comes out as a trans man and gets kidnapped weekly as enrichment. I hope robert rises from the grave and sells his tombstone so he can actually eat a meal. I hope the beetle escaped death once again and went on to live a long happy life of many human sacrifices and orgies. I hope sydney and paul get into a homoerotic boxing match so good that their fists collide with their noses at the same time, stabbing the bone into their brains and killing them instantly. I hope you die. I hope we both die. hand in insectoid hand.

I have been informed that tumblr needs to know about this delightful discovery I made in a 1768 English dictionary:

I have been listening to the Hobbit audiobook while working. Bad idea. I didn't work, I drew Bilbo and his fancy home ♥

this is assuming its on art you normally wouldn't jump to reblog. i myself only rb stuff i really really like so .

The 'rude/demanding' tone would be stuff along the lines of "if you like but don't reblog I'll [threat]" which i see surprisingly often, both serious and more silly
