i felt like these tags really added to the experience, thanks @cynderxdustypaws for your knowledge
Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions
I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.
i'm helping out at a creative writing workshop for uhhh i think 10-12s? 10-14s? idk. but that age range. and anyways
a) i forgot how fun this is
b) it's really hard not to like, re-write for them and stick to just "hey add descriptions here, change this grammar, really cool ideas!" bc i'm an adult and not trying to talk over/railroad these kids, but i'm just so excited for their ideas!!!
c) little boys write cool stuff like "what if we went to mars but it sucked so we left, but left behind all our technology and the technology rose up and created its own society and then went to war with us for abandoning them? what if transformers had 100x the war crimes? what if the earth blew up. what if we were the robots all along?"
d) little girls out here writing like "aunt melanie's skin was sloughing off the bones as her beloved dogs tore her apart, turning on her in blind animal instinct. the second she stopped providing food, she became food." and a lot of body horror and dark themes about group pacts and betrayals and ritualistic murder/sacrifices. like a lot
me, turning to the teacher who is also doing this: hey so, i'm personally really cool with the tone and direction these girls take, but is any of this? how you say... a red flag?
teacher: little girls have really rich inner lives to combat the way they're puppeted by society in real life. they'll learn to censor it out in a couple years, but it doesn't go away.
me, who was also a weird little girl who phased in and out of weirdness depending on social settings: nice.
I regret that I have but one skill to offer this fandom.
Part 22 of ?
I don’t repost art here nearly as much so maybe you guyd might like seeing this again?

if you’re not a NYT subscriber, here’s the Wikipedia article with links to related cases: “Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales”
basically, cops only need to protect property and serve property owners, not the people
Okay but like. Imagine that you’ve had a long day. You’ve been captured and tortured by some neo nazi punk bitch and your mission is super compromised and you don’t know where your little robot buddy is or if he’s gonna be okay and in walks this stormtrooper. You’re like “okay this is it he’s either here to imprison or kill me but I’m not going down without a fight” but then he just pulls you aside and takes of his helmet to reveal not only the WORLD’S MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN but also that he’s helping you escape because hes DEFECTING from the FIRST ORDER which you’ve probably never heard of a stormtrooper doing because the whole lifetime of brainwashing thing but despite the literal LIFETIME of brainwashing this one is too KIND and GOOD and BRAVE to be a part of the first orders cruelty. Like how are you NOT supposed to be like “I’m gonna call you Finn and also if you want the last name Dameron that can 100% be arranged.”
And then he shows up again and he’s WEARING YOUR JACKET because he thought you were DEAD and he’s been mourning you this entire goddamn time!
*emerges from the other room covered in blood* you should see the word document
does it look like this
i was picturing this as after a successful writing jaunt but this is so much darker
“A collection of common glyphs of the poorly understood Memeorite civilization of the Second Silicon Age. Memeorite glyphs possess multiple conflicting interpretations and a complexity of meaning impossible to capture in a few short words. These are rough translations only.”

I am too.
Also I really hope the Ken that Scott Evans is playing is the one from the 90's. You know the one...
Pay heed to Klaudia Amenábar's words! Don't let the executives weaponize fandoms. WGA Strong.
My guys it is starting to work, I've seen some people I know complaining about the writer's strike and turning against them because their favorite shows and/or movie got put on hold. Please do not be fooled like this, this is exactly what the corporations want. It can wait, I promise you will find other things to focus, but writers need this.
Reword every headline they put out. “Due to not wanting to give writers money, Marvel has shut down pre-production on…” You can end this strike any time you want to, pal.
"Marvel too cheap to pay writers, production shuts down"
"Disney too greedy to pay residuals, deletes shows/movies"
"Studios cut corners on safety, production values, writing, acting, etc. in order to make more money; won't share with anyone below CEO level"
This.
100% this.
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
Hell yeah moon holiday
THERE'S A SEQUEL!
The adventure continues!
Awesome dad is awesome.
Hopefully the mother will get used to it
This cat strikes me as both fascinated by the sensation of the rain - the smell, sound, and feel of it - and completely mortified by the fact that it comes with being wet
This cat is like “I am enjoying approximately 75% of this experience but I’m not sure if it’s worth that other 25%”

So I binged the entirety of How To Build a Sex Room last night and this one scene just cracked me up
The designer's at a western leather/tack store looking for supplies to make a rustic-style sex swing and turns to one of the store employees for advice, which initially goes about as amusingly as you would expect
So then she pulls up some pictures to give him an idea of what she needs
And he's Immediately like
The professional disgust, I'm living
... yeah, that tracks. I know so many crafting professionals who would be like that.
'Professional expresses strong well-founded opinions on something he only just learned about,' gotta be one of my favorite genres
