*circus music plays* fucking came for my throat

From the Neil Gaiman: Dream Dangerously :) (you can watch here in US or with US vpn :) <3)

Terry Pratchett: Neil once said, 'Your fans all look jolly. And my fans all look as if they're about to commit suicide. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get them to marry?'

🙃 Regular reminder that while Hozier has amazing love songs, he is ALSO very outspoken about his leftist politics, specifically anti-fascism, anti-racism, reproductive rights, Palestinian rights and more.

Take Me To Church and Foreigner’s God are scathing critiques of organized religion, specifically the Catholic Church.

Moment’s Silence is about oral sex but it’s ALSO about how that specific sexual act is often distorted to a show of power rather than that of love.

Nina Cried Power is an homage to various civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.

Be specifically criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.

Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism.

Swan Upon Leda is about reproductive rights and the violent colonial oppression of Ireland and Palestine.

Eat Your Young is about the ruinous way the 1%/capitalism prioritizes short-term profit over everything else to the detriment of the youth/99%.

Butchered Tongue is about Irish and other indigenous languages being suppressed and erased by imperial powers.

If any of the above surprised you, please, please delve deeper into Hozier’s music, you’re missing such an important part of his work.

Thanks, ⬆️ is a much better explanation of Foreigner’s God than my off the cuff mention

Any time I watch a speedrun of a survival-horror game that came out circa 2000 I'm forcibly reminded that the one thing today's "PS1 style" retro survival-horror titles almost never get right is the genre's intense preoccupation with restrooms.

Like, why does this facility have an impossibly spacious restroom with more toilet stalls than it has employees? Why is there always a guy who apparently died while sitting on one of those toilets? Why does he always have a key item on his person? Playing Russian roulette with restroom stalls until you find the one with the key-item-bearing dead guy in it – and getting attacked by toilet-dwelling monsters whenever you guess wrong – is a recurring thing, is what I mean to say.

I think my favourite recurring twist on the formula is when the impossibly spacious restroom has multiple entrances, such that the only way to access certain parts of the facility is to travel through the restroom. I mean, I know a lot of ink has been spilled on the idea of public toilets as a liminal space, but that's taking it rather literally!

I actually worked in a building like that for about four years.

The building was leased by three different companies.

The building was all one big floor, with the restrooms in the center.

So everyone had a pie-slice-like section of the building, with access to the restrooms through their area.

But.

All three companies were paranoid AF about the other companies, so all the EXITS from the restroom area required swiping your security pass on the matching exit.

Critical data: You did NOT need to swipe to go in.

So.

People routinely/daily locked themselves in the ‘bathroom vestibule’ and couldn’t escape until someone else from their company showed up.

Okay, now I totally want to see a retro survival horror game where the monster-overrun facility is divided into multiple thematically distinct sectors and the "safe" hub area from which they're accessed is a sprawling, puzzlingly high-security restroom.

^ magic spell of get assassinated by the turkish government

"girl dinner is when you don't eat teehee" "men think about the roman empire women think about their ex best friends and poetry" "✨sapphic love✨ is so pure and innocent and sweet unlike nasty gross Man Lust" "girl math is when you can buy starbucks and makeup because you didn't buy it yesterday so it's free" "I'm going to explain (complex topic) for the girlies! so basically it's like when you go shopping-" "I love women because they're so soft and smooth and feminine and we can talk about girly things and they're not sweaty or hairy or horny like gross men" "women should be unemployed girls don't need jobs men should do all that for us" "ugh girls that don't like pink or being feminine just need to stop being such pick mes and get over their internalized misogyny it's gross"

god save my hairy dyke ass from this hell before I start whacking people's shins with my Girl Baseball Bat. teehee!

“Girls gays and theys” <- uninclusive while trying to be inclusive. Bad. Makes me uncomfortable.

“Ladies, gentlemen, and other distinguished guests” <- inclusive but far, far too formal

“Alrighty gamers” <- Incisive of everyone, informal, and fun to say.

“Everypony” <== pisses everyone off.  flawless

"Friends, enemies, and those still under review"

“OI! THE LOT OF YOU.” <—succinct, to the point, effective. 

"Attention K-Mart Shoppers" <- qualifies as vintage

i let the furby skins soak in fabric softener after i washed them and my sis found them and sent me:

and i have never laughed so hard x’D

never do i ever want to hear the words “furby skins” uttered ever again

You never peeled a furby?
