Another round of Thursday the 20ths for you to queue up for the next six years

went to miami to recover father sotirios. and made some new friends.

these animals... they are wise. I recruited them to avenge my dear brother. I was then escorted out of the sea world.

Better than the 1596 Marseille dolphin exorcism I suppose.

In 1596 dolphins were infesting the port of Marseille. Back in those days, y’see, dolphins didn’t have the cuddly image they enjoy today. They were pests and were causing damage.

So the cardinal of Avignon sent the bishop of Cavaillon to do something about them. In front of a huge crowd, the bishop sprinkled some holy water into the waters of the port and told the dolphins to begone. Whereupon the dolphins indeed turned tail in terror and fled, and were never seen again.

Still not as dramatic as Saint Bernard excommunicating the flies though.

What happened to the flies?

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux built a monastery in 1124, but it was plagued by flies. So the good saint promptly excommunicated them. By the next day the flied had died in such quantities that they had to be shoveled out.

Still not as nutty as the Basel rooster trial though.

*everyone in unison* um what rooster trial?

In 1474, a rooster in Basel did the heinous and unspeakable act of laying an egg. As everyone knows, an egg laid by a rooster will hatch into a basilisk (or cockatrice).

So to avoid the creation of a cockatrice (or basilisk), the rooster was tried, found guilty, and burned at the stake along with its egg. A huge crowd was present.

The “rooster” in this case was likely a hen that had developed male characteristics (it happens).

Still not as properly legal as the Savigny pig trial though.

Ok, clearly you want an excuse to talk about the pig thing, and I now DESPERATELY want to hear about the pig thing, so PLEASE tell us about the Pig Thing.

In 1457 a sow killed Jehan Martin, a five-year-old boy in Savigny. For that crime she was put on trial and judged guilty, and sentenced to be hanged from a tree.

Her piglets, however, were judged to have been innocent of the murder, and so were returned to the owner, with the caveat that he had to surrender them to the law if they were later found to have eaten any of the boy.

Not to be confused with a whole bunch of other, similar porcine trials.

I won’t mention the 1454 excommunication of eels in Lake Geneva then.

the seaquarium of miami banned me from visiting for life if anyone even cares.

op kinda brought this full circle but I gotta know

*inhale*

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE EELS IN LAKE GENEVA?

#1930’s han solo  #which is funny bc Han is based on standard 30’s pulp fiction tropes  #and then we come full circle back to rick here #soldier-of-fortune'ing his way through the plot  #i mean you could change up Han Solo’s dialogue so Rick says it and IT’D WORK  #‘either i’m gonna kill her or I’m beginning to like her!’  #and his journey from self-declared scoundrel to ‘i’m angry with you princess’ to ‘pls can we make out’  #also they have the same boots  #lbr my point here is that rick o'connell is altogether GLORIOUS  (via harrietvane)

Send me a 🎧 and I will put my music on shuffle and give you a song and my favourite lyric from it

I find it kind of funny that human babies are so fragile and helpless and useless that natural selection went like HARD-hard on humans finding babies cute. This thing is a wailing messy resource sinkhole so please find other reason to enjoy it. And the humans that did find baby cute and invest time in them, the crazy bastards?? Lived!!

And now there’s so much spill-over from “baby cute” gene that humans see literally any “baby” creature that even slightly resembles us, like

and we’re like 😍🥰🤩🥺🥺🥺 I wanna love you so bad. I wanna make so many images of you, you are so small, just baby. I’m inventing new emotions as we speak bc I love you so much.

Like, I’m almost convinced humans didn’t even domesticate dogs bc we thought they’d be useful, we saw some puppies and it activated our Big Boi Primate Baby buttons, it wasn’t even logic time baby, it was 🥺 time.

Here’s a little introduction to External Memory! It was fun to make a proper neat and full colour comic - it’s been a while ^^

(If you like this project, please reblog this post! You can also subscribe to my patreon where I post one comic every day ^^)

me when I fucking BAP you

y’all. what if

what if we get a dream sequence where ed is longing for what could have happened, what should have happened. like, we see the same few beats of him on the dock, calling out for stede and looking increasingly concerned. but then the brush behind him rustles, and stede actually stumbles out into view.

and ed’s face breaks out into the most relieved, beautiful smile, and there’s this very dreamy sequence of them breathing each other’s names and running to each other. they of course hug each other tightly, maybe even kiss, before ed murmurs something like, “was worried for a second. thought i’d lost you.”

only for stede to go “oh, no. you’ll never ever lose me.”

…and then ed wakes up in the gutted darkness of the captain’s quarters. alone.

I'm starting to find evidence on twitter of antis encouraging each other to shun friends and family for not being one of them and I am deeply concerned. This is some cult shit.

"should I shun my friend for being proship even though they're my only irl friend?"

"Should I shun my mother for being proship?"

The answer to both of these is GET HELP. You are being brainwashed into thinking that your friends and family are dangerous when you know that they wouldn't hurt anyone. See a therapist, take some time off the internet, reevaluate your situation. Fiction does not take precedence over your loved ones.

I'm tagging this with "antis please interact" because I think they need to see this too, and hopefully it helps someone. Your loved ones are not dangerous because of their taste in fiction.

It's really disturbing how we are watching a really unhealthy, purity obsessed minority become way, way too vocal. Are they becoming a majority among young fans, or are they just drowning out the other opinions?

Do these CHILDREN realize they are parroting the conservative "think of the children" dog whistle? Do they not realize that the same irrational fear of fiction negatively affecting reality is the same logic these book banning bigoted assholes are using to justify pulling books with LGBTQ characters? Because they are scared their straight child will become gay from reading a book! Because we all know THAT'S how that works, right?!

If reading books with queer characters doesn't make you gay, why the fuck would reading a fanfic with an underage character make you a pedophile? Did watching Game of Thrones make everyone suddenly cool with incest? No! Nothing changed!

Maybe these kids are confusing the concept of Representation Matters, where telling minority focused stories can be beneficial for that minority. Except they can't tell the difference between Watsonian and Doylelist analysis of a story. They can't differentiate between what the author is saying, what the setting is saying, and what a character is saying. So they think any mention of these "bad" things is bad because clearly it is condoning the behavior! Because video games DEFINITELY made me think murder is okay in real life, so I will definitely start grooming children because I read a teacher/student high school AU!

ITS' THE SAME FAULTY LOGIC!!

"Hur hur we went to a superspreader party in 2023...isn't that funny? I thought covid was over but then we all got sick with covid and sent all our kids to school where their teachers tried to run away from them lolZ. Oh also I'm not going to reflect on the fact that I went to the gym and likely spread more covid to other people before I knew I got the virus.

And the birthday host kept coming up with gifs as the count of covid positive people who got it at the party kept going up! Hilarious!

Anyway wash your hands and stay home if you have symptoms I guess, but of course I'm not going to mention WEARING A MASK ever."

"The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has confirmed the Covid outbreak on the Neurosurgery Ward and said that it is doing all that it can to ensure the safety of patients."

Everything EXCEPT WEARING MASKS! What in the eugenics is this crap?

EXCLUSIVE: 'We need to do better' - over 14,000 people died with Covid after catching it in hospital

Over 14,000 people in England and Wales died with Covid after catching the virus in hospital - these were all people who had attended for another reason, be it surgery, cancer treatment, or following an accident

By Kieren Williams, March 16, 2023

"More than 14,000 people in England and Wales died with Covid after catching the virus in hospital.

According to official NHS data in England and Wales, 14,047 Brits died in hospital after they caught the virus following admission, whilst at least 69,337 people caught the virus only after having been admitted.

The data, obtained by the Mirror via FOI, shows the extent to which the virus ran rampant in hospitals throughout the pandemic, claiming lives.

Both figures are the minimum and the reality is likely much higher due to a number of trusts not responding to the FOI or not recording the data.

Data covering from March 2020 until August 2022 at the latest, 94 NHS trusts out of 209 responded to the FOI which showed how deaths cause by hospital acquired Covid surged during winter as hospitals filled up with patients.

The 14,047 people had all gone to hospital for something other than Covid and tested negative on admission."

People who refused to believe covid exists are bad enough but people who know it exists and still think it's a joke to spread it around just actually deserve to be dead, like morally I would endorse them getting splattered by a truck.

Thousands of people are still dying every week from covid. Many more face lifelong, debilitating illness. If you're not masking, you could be responsible. You could be next.

Karl Gussow - Old Man's Treasure (Das Kätzchen), 1876

@kani-has-no-tattoos

that's such a good treasure tho

little known fact: this piece is incomplete, before writing the final words banksy became consumed by hubris and jacked off so hard to his artistic genius that he died. the intense blood splatter is what was left upon climax, suggesting that banksy was going to mold this piece into his magnum opus before his great fall. in mourning of this tragic event, residents of nyc suggested that banksy now be referred to as Banksy, The Big Jerk Off.

AHAHAHAHAHAH

hahahahahahaha

*wiping a single tear from my eye*

that is the SADDEST attempt at bullshit i’ve read in a while on here.

nothing gets past this guy

For my house md mutuals: fun fact, banksy is in the same band that does the theme song in the show

I do not ask this lightly, the Missouri AG’s office has started a site to build a list of trans people. Clog the system. That’s the life of a trans kid who gets another day on this earth. Spam the fuck out of it, it’s not sophisticated. You don’t need to use a real email. Post as much as you’d like

Go full Bart Simpson with this I want the brainless worthless cunts responsible for this to have to sort through thousands of fake reports with names like Hugh Jass and Amanda Hugankiss

Tldr: Actually don’t report pets, as I originally suggested. Just giggle about it.

Original post:

Also funny: Everyone report pets. “At only 8 weeks old, Bumper’s testicles were surgically removed. What’s worse, Bumper was transported to the surgical center in a BOX, and after surgery, he was kept in a CAGE until his “parents” could pick him up. Bumper was never given any supplementary testosterone and never experienced male puberty or developed adult male secondary sex traits.”

Althouuuuugh even as I write that I can imagine Fox News airing that story that is very obviously about a cat as if it actually happened to a child, and thus inflaming more hatred. So maybe just use the names of pets and chuckle to yourself.

might as well while the least fav color poll is running. REBLOG SO WE GET A GOOD SAMPLE SIZE

Xue Yang floats along the edge of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji's housewarming party, eyes still scanning the crowd. If Xiao Xingchen was going to show up to his nephew's party, he probably would have done so by now. The man is conspicuously absent. Xue Yang swears under his breath, hikes his jacket up tighter on his shoulders, and heads out to the balcony of the downtown high-rise apartment.

Song Lan is there.

Xue Yang swears again. Of all the people to run into, his ex's ex is the last one he wants.

Song Lan is leaning against the railing of the balcony, his elbows folded against it casually, like it wasn't a 20 story drop down on the other side. In his mouth, a lit cigarette dangles between his lips. He looks spaced out, probably only here for the same reason Xue Yang is; hoping Xiao Xingchen would be here.

"He's not here," Xue Yang says, breaking the ice. "We may as well just leave."

Song Lan exhales, a stream of smoke huffing from his nostrils.

"You know, smoking kills," Xue Yang says, grinning wildly and leaning back against the railing next to him.

"And you want me to quit? Please," Song Lan sighs. "I didn't quit for Xingchen. What makes you think I'd quit for you?"

He spits the last word out like it's poison. Xue Yang remembers only all too well that Song Lan doesn't like him either. Who would like the guy that tricked their partner into leaving him?

"If anything, I should throw you over the railing." he continues, eyes gazing past the skyline.

Xue Yang doesn't even know why he's here, really. Xingchen won't take him back. Once Xingchen figured out that Xue Yang lied to Song Lan about Xingchen cheating on him to stage a breakup, he'd dumped him, too.

"Can I bum one?"

Song Lan doesn't reach out to give him one, but his eyes do dart to his own jacket pocket, inviting Xue Yang to pick one from the box inside. Xue Yang grabs the first one he touches and rummages through his own pockets for his lighter, coming up empty.

"Shit," he mumbles, padding his empty pockets, unlit cigarette dangling from his lips.

Song Lan sighs, then reaches and grabs him by the back of the neck, pulling him in until the ends of their smokes touch. Song Lan's other hand cups around their cigarettes, making the embers flame and lighting Xue Yang's with his own.

Xue Yang rubs the back of his neck, flustered.

"You really couldn't have let me borrow your lighter?" he asks. "You had to turkeyfuck me?"

"If I gave you mine, I'd never get it back," he reasons. "And I- WHAT did you call it!?"
