Bojan, baby, no need to get so embarrassed

I’m so used to boomers ruining social media platforms but these fine gentlemen singlehandedly made tiktok worth it.

I love everything about this. They all Get It. They’re doing this comedy thing RIGHT.

YOU’RE FUCKIN TELLING ME, HANK

Wow.... so you’re telling me you took an action that resulted in the death of one person...... to save the lives of many people.... who would have died if you did nothing??? that sounds so familiar

oh so they’re just saying the quiet part out loud? Good to know they’re just out and open now

That’s not the quiet part.

There’s something else, something they might not even be fully aware of themselves. The real quiet part is that if it was *their* child or *their* ectopic pregnancy they’d pull out all the stops to save their life or get their grandchild aborted. Planned Parenthood sees reactionaries and regressives all the time, and they are every bit the nightmare patients you’d imagine them to be. But the one thing all those patients have in common is that *their* abortion is *justified*, and the next week they’ll be outside the clinic again, rejoining the protestors for “killing their baby”.

It’d be one thing to have ghoulish principles, but the far-right have none at all.

When I was younger and had more time to waste on the internet, and spent a lot of time in various online forums getting into arguments -- on purpose -- I made up a game I called Six Degrees of Slut.

The game (which is a variation on the well known Six Degrees of Bacon) was very simple. In any discussion of abortion, see whether you could get the other side to articulate, within six back-and-forth exchanges, some variation of The Filthy Sluts Must Be Punished. Regardless of where their argument started, the goal of the game was to get them to admit that.

I never once lost a game of Six Degrees of Slut. On a few occasions the match was inconclusive - the other person left off arguing before we reached round six - but I never lost; I never once reached six rounds of debate with a prolifer without them expressing some variation on this sentiment. But what was really remarkable to me was, a lot of times, that there was no effort involved at all -- they would blurt it out themselves, with effectively no provocation.

Scratch a prolifer, and you'll find right under the surface the conviction that The Filthy Sluts Must Be Punished. I have never once yet found an exception. Sometimes you don't even have to scratch.

I don't think about Harry Potter all that much these days but sometimes I just randomly remember that these kids were writing on parchment. Like I know they have an aesthetic but WHY are these children writing their essays on ANIMAL SKINS in this day and age. It just isn't practical. At least go with old-timey paper or something.

To all the people in the notes saying they thought that parchment was old-timey paper: you didn't write five fantasy books where it is explicitly mentioned as being used extensively multiple times each book. If you had, you presumably would've looked the word up in the dictionary first. Different writing materials require different types of storage and treatment and you'd look up parchment vs. paper if you were going to replace one with the other, to make sure you didn't make any stupid worldbuilding mistakes. Same as you would with vellum, or papyrus, or wood slips, or any other writing material.

you would be amazed and depressed to realize how confidently wrong most writers are about at least one crucially important item that made it to publication.

Another thing JKR did that bothered me as someone who volunteered at a raptor centre before I read the books (I was late to the party): the casual ease with which everyone handles owls.

The thing about owls, and raptors of any kind, is that they have big fucking talons. And it doesn’t matter if they're trying to hurt you or not, these are animals with meathooks on their feet. You need special equipment to handle them without risking serious injury and infection. You at the very least want a falconer's glove, but given that owls like to perch on your forearm like it's a branch, you're better off with an eagle glove which covers your whole arm.

At no point in the Harry Potter series is falconry equipment of any kind ever mentioned. People just let owls perch on their hands or shoulders like it's nothing. There's even one particularly cringe-inducing sentence where an owl sits on Harry's lap, a glaring continuity error in light of the epilogue where he has children. I could only conclude that standard wizard clothing universally includes thick leather gloves, shoulder pads, and a jock strap. That's the only way I could get through it.

"There's even one particularly cringe-inducing sentence where an owl sits on Harry's lap, a glaring continuity error in light of the epilogue where he has children."

This is the funniest thing anyone has ever said about Harry Potter

listen i know each actor brings their own spice to a role, but i just can’t take timothee chalamet’s wonka seriously 

where is the madness behind his eyes??? the malice??? the complete disregard for the laws of mankind and decency???

this man makes me fear that i’ll be shoved into a taffy machine at the slightest provocation 

as! he! should!

I’m not gonna let this gem of a tag on this post go unnoticed.

that is the face of a man worried he will be next

Good news, he was not next! In fact, she accepted him as her mate, he learned the crane mating dance and now every year, he artificially inseminates her with crane semen to expand the very endangered crane population. True story.

Sorry, he WHAT? Imagine being this man's boss and having to sit him down like. Listen. Brian. We need you to fuck the bird. You have to act like you're excited about it.

crane husband.....

this is the diametric opposite of all those awful swan wife stories and i love it.

(WalWaPo makes you jump through like three separate hoops before you can read the article, so I will share some of the highlights:

Legit cannot pick the funniest part of this

she has not been PROVEN to have killed her exes, but there is a PERSISTENT RUMOR (really officers she's simply DEVASTATED, she sobs, wearing a new feather boa unfortunately resembling her most recent deceased husband)

His name is Chris CROWE. (Mrs. Walnut Crane-Crowe?)

the mental images of a whole human man learning and performing the crane mating dance, and "sitting" on artificial eggs so she thinks he's performing his duties as a husband and father (and apparently OBJECTS if he does not?)

"chris, buddy, you gotta marry the possibly-murderous crane lady for the GOOD OF THE SPECIES." (alternately: "chris, my man! good news! we found you a very interested lady! She's 36, she's very spirited and independent, she holds a very important and rare status in her society! ...Is there a downside? WELL...")

chris sits any potential human partners down, like "my love, you must understand before we wed,,, i am already... Attached" (camera drifts wistfully to the above photo) "Lady Walnut and I have an,, Understanding... the relationship is open, but very committed"

just had to explain this post to my father bc he thought my stifled laughter was a signal of illness.

well done, everyone, good game. hit the showers.

Not only is he 'married' to walnut, this has apparently happened SEVERAL times, so he has MULTIPLE crane wives, none of which know about any of his other crane wives. This man is, for some unknown reason, irresistible to cranes

the “this content has been removed for violating Tumblr’s Community Guidelines” notice really adds a lot of flavor to this post and somehow makes it MORE obscene than whatever that actually was
