another piece of advice i have for those living with partners or roommates: some days you are going to feel very productive while they seem kind of spacey/distracted/wanting to relax, and vice versa.

a phrase we have implemented is “is it playtime?” because sometimes you dont have the mental battery to be the present adult your partner/roommate is asking of you and need time to relax. also because i think its silly.

if you can communicate that between both parties then you can find a later time that you can work with them or figure out what needs to be taken care of right now. by communicating boundaries of “worktime” “playtime” you can respect each-others energy levels while still picking times to work together and achieve tasks as adults.

Not playtime today.

The Crushing Weight of Not Knowing If There Is a Task

im starting to think this crushing weight is not about the tasks

This is a stupid ruling. It's transphobic and bigoted. But there are some people getting some surrounding details wrong.

I did ~5 seconds of googling and it turns out almost no chess tournaments are actually gender segregated. It's mainly the Women's World Chess Championship and the Women's Chess Olympiad. There are apparently no major men's chess leagues. With that in mind:

1) having a women's chess league makes sense. Not because women are disadvantaged, but because it provides an extra spotlight to shine on women's achievements in chess and acts as dedicated podium space.

2) if you are trans and a chess fan, you should not despair. You can still play in almost every tournament and all the largest and most prestigious awards are gender-neutral.

All of this does however make the ruling even stupider. The point of a female chess league is to provide representation to a minority group (within the sport that is), not to compensate for any actual genetic advantage. Changing genders to take on "easier" opponents doesn't even make sense in this context because the opponents aren't easier, they are just fewer.

Side note: I was curious just what the gender gaps were like in chess compared to an athletic event:

In the 50 meter dash, a man in the top 4,000 (6.80s) can beat the best woman ever (6.92s) (based on times from worldathletics.org). The top female chess player is ranked 127th in the world. You still need to basically be in the top 100 to beat her.

It should be a rule of Tumblr to always reblog none pizza with left beef

ive missed you

@hellsite-hall-of-fame

I truly am obsessed with how Knives Out was like. Hello Daniel Craig, man who has spent the past two decades of his career being alternately beaten up and objectified playing an action hero with no personality. Would you like to please put on a shirt and an incomprehensible vaguely Texan accent and flex your character acting dark comedy muscles as well as your pecs for a while. And he's like BOY WOULD I and they made a work of art. Also love that they put Chris Evans in sweaters. Get your beefcakes then dress them nice make them soft and give them some bonkers character work to do it's what cinema needs more of

I love that several people have responded to this with "op I forgive you cause you're Scottish but that's not a Texan accent" which is fair thank you I appreciate it but no two people have agreed on what accent it is which is also Absolutely fair and hilarious as a reaction to this film

Cannot stress enough that I do not know what the fuck a foghorn leghorn is but literally a hundred people have said it to me so far so I'm assuming it's important to, like, Americans

The idea that Foghorn Leghorn,

The Rhode Island rooster from Looney Toons, is one of the Elder Gods of America, is honestly fascinating from a theological and folkloric viewpoint

Pardon me, but he is a LEGHORN, not a RIR. It’s in his NAME. Leghorns are an Italian breed. And yes, he is an elder god.

According to Foghorn's Tvtropes page:

Presumably, it's less that Foghorn Leghorn is a Rhode Island Rooster and more that he's a Rooster who lives in Rhode Island, possibly a Central Virginian Leghorn Rooster living in Rhode Island, though that implies a complicated and interesting life story that took him from Central Virginia all the way to Rhode Island

I would not rely on TV Tropes as an unbiased source. Wikipedia simple says his species is officially “rooster” and mentions a Leghorn being a breed of chicken. TV Tropes probably thinks the Cornflakes chicken is a RIR too.

I am potentially willing to concede he is a “barnyard mix” (cross between breeds) and his father, Harold Leghorn, was a leghorn and his unnamed mother was a RIR or other dark variety.

I love this site.

Sometimes it’s 1:30 am and you own chickens and you’re drinking whiskey in the bath tub and accuracy about iconic fictional chickens is the hill to die on, ok, and that’s why I love Tumblr. 

Where this post started

Where it ended up

I just love the implication that TV Tropes is somehow systematically biased against a type of chicken

I think it’s time to follow the arc of this rainbow to its inevitable terminus

#benoit blanc#ah say#ah say suh#ah yew implyin a particular#prejudice if yew will#towahds one specific breed of chicken#this is cleahly highly#ah do say#highly irregulah

Fun facts of the day!

- State charges cannot be pardoned by the President of the United States. They have to be pardoned by the governor of the state in which the crime was committed

- the governor of Georgia does not have pardon power, that power was stripped in 1943 by the Georgia state legislature

- TV cameras are forbidden in federal court. TV cameras are permitted in state court. It’s already been stated that Donald Trump’s Georgia trial will be televised

- Donald Trump will be booked, processed, fingerprinted, and have his mug shot taken just like any other person who enters the Fulton country jail. They don’t believe in special treatment down there

- the Georgia RICO statue carries a 5 year mandatory minimum sentence which cannot be revoked by a judge

This means the funniest thing that can happen is convicted, but still voted in as president and has to serve his entire term in jail.

This is so

Unnecessary

how do you explain to someone that this is your sense of humour

“What could the audio possibly be?”

“Oh,”

If I ever don’t laugh at this, assume I died.

Tintin remembers what comes after 15.

FUCKING HELL IT’S BACK FROM LAST YEAR

This literally gets reblogged every 15th of the month. It’s almost two years old. It’s beautiful.

listen up ya’ll this post is 6 years old now and you’re still reblogging it. every month. once a month, my notifications blow up for this one video, but only until the 16th. then the notes on this vid completely stop. it’s so eerily spot on and impressive how you just all collectively know what to do. if I’m not online, people irl still remind me that it’s the 15th. thank you for six surreal years of me wondering if I completely fucking lost it. here’s to the 15th

(source)

This looks like a shitpost but it’s actually solid advice, like, if you want to achieve a goal you have to pace yourself and be patient instead of expecting too much too soon and then giving up

congratulations piracy

Ad agency: Please don't steal the King's potatoes, no matter how easy it is.

Regular people: Wait, the King has easily stolen potatoes? How do I get in on this?

Internet users who have been stealing potatoes for years: We made a machine that picks so many potatoes and also that machine is free. Enjoy!

Ad agency: you wouldn't steal a movie?

10 year old me with 0 income and no movie: YOU CAN STEAL MOVIES????

I feel confident enough to post these now. A collection of all the existing posters after some edits from the other post that got 13k notes! These are full size/quality. Go nuts.

You may use them for wallpapers, tabletop campaigns, whatever. Consider tipping me or buying a print or sticker on ko-fi here! If you do use them, let me know what for, or send pictures!

Reblogging because the new shop is online!

Prepare the bleach, people.

Decanter Pinky I was.. commissioned to draw because apparently I was paid for it /srs.

Sorry this is funny rather than suggestive Pinky is such an unserious character to lewd😭

I don't know what to say. Are you apologizing for not creating furry porn of Pinky? Is that what's happening right now?

Me: *scrolling twitter in bed*

My gf: "I like to think Mario and Luigi are both colour blind and think they have matching outfits"

Me: *fucking losing it*

GRADE SCHOOL SJWS stop using social justice language to explain shit to your conservative parents IT’S NOT GONNA GO THROUGH now all they have are some new words to make fun of. don’t tell your mom she’s being fatphobic tell her she’s being a dick

#Terminology is for when someone has already recognized the existence of the phenomenon#Its a communication shortcut that presumes shared understanding#You need to establish the understanding first

(via @lilietsblog)

Quotes are the same. A snappy quote is only ever preaching to the choir. It's like a hash of the information that makes up true understanding.

When someone actually understands something they will recognize a relevant quote as making sense and making a good point. When someone doesn't understand it's just nothing. It's like when a Christian tries to convince an atheist by quoting scripture. It's just meaningless to the atheist.

Strike pizza fund running low

This fund gets pizza straight to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA picket lines. Please donate if you can and boost this post!

[ID: tweet by Jess Morse @/chessmorse that says, "The fund is getting low again! We have enough to get to 8/3 (marking 3 months of pizza) but not beyond that. Please share if you can! This is my only platform, so screenshotting and sharing on other apps is appreciated! As long as you don't pretend to be me, it's all good."

The tweet is quoting her earlier tweet: "BUY THE #WGA A PIZZA I'm bringing pizzas to the picketers at Disney, WB, and Universal! Toss me some dough to keep our writers fed! http://venmo.com/u/Jess-Morse $10.97 = 1 pizza (tax included) #wgastrong #wgastrike #writersstrike." attached is her Venmo QR code. end ID]

adding some screenshots of her twitter so people can see the difference this makes, there have been over 1000 pizzas delivered!
