Art-heavy personal blog full of bones, gender things, Good Omens, DND, Ninja Turtles, Legend of Zelda, McElroys, and Star Trek. Also cats, the human body, politics, stormy seascapes, and green things, plus my own writing and fanart.  Lots of older fandoms as well (mainly Homestuck and Watchmen). Everything is tagged, so feel free to go digging.

Maids, cleaners, janitors, and sanitation workers are all the most important people of civilization by far. Even 12 hours without them is VERY noticable and they simply need to be highly compensated for it

'Six AM', 1930 - William Wolfson

Everybody says "you don't want to grow up to be a janitor" until the janitors go on strike and suddenly the building becomes a disaster area because nobody is used to picking up after themselves.

They say "you don't want to grow up to be a garbage man" until the sanitarion workers go on strike and the trash starts piling up on street corners.

People pretend that these jobs are unimportant so they can pay them shit, but they are absolutely vital to the socities we have built.

When my mother forgets a word, she is the queen of coming up with new words. Words that would take a third National Treasure movie to fully decipher. I was talking to her yesterday, and she said this: “You know the time for los jibbities is coming up. You must be so excited!” Oh, is it time for los jibbities already? I must have missed it on my calendar. Are we celebrating something? “Of course! We should all be celebrating, shouldn’t we?” OK, so los jibbities is a happy thing. It’s not like something is giving you the heebie-jeebies, which would have been my one and only guess. “Los heebie-jeebies? Now you’re making things up...and this is my show.” You’re right. The time for los jibbities is coming up. Is this a season? “Yes, the season for love. The season for pride.” OK, los jibbities. “Yeah, sound it out.” Los…jibbities. LGBTs! “Sí, mira cuz you’re gay!” “You couldn’t just say pride season? You couldn’t just… *laughs*

HAPPY LOS JIBBITIES EVERYBODY!!!

“My criterion for accepting a role isn’t based on what I would like to do. I try to consider what the audience would like to see me do and I thought kids would adore Star Wars.”

- Peter Cushing

Dude with a serious villain face looking at roles at 65 going ‘ok which one of these would be good for me and which ones would make the kids go “oh fucking AWESOME”’ *sweeps all the dramatics on the floor and goes to play with a giant cyborg*

"you're not man enough, not feminine enough"

so gender is something we can fail?

that means gender is not genetic and absolute and unchangeable

but something we can build and perform, and fail at (the standards they set) but also redefine?

if i can fail at being a woman, does that mean i'm not a woman? so does that make me another gender?

i agonized for 15 minutes about the wording of my post and you manage to simplify it with a perfect mean girls reference
