Tell me something interesting.

angel in space who falls in love with an astronaut floating out in the void, not realizing they've been dead for years out there nor comprehending what death even is. is that anything

the angel starts leading them back to earth cuz they think that's what'll make them feel better, finally talk back to them, open up. it takes lightyears to get back to earth's atmosphere and when they do, the angel embraces them as gravity takes hold and pulls them crashing down. they both incinerate into ash and disappear. is that anything

idk is this anything

these are everything

Before the internet, librarians were the gatekeeper of knowledge. For your reading pleasure, the New York Public Library released a cache of queries and conundrums called in from the 1940s to the 1980s.

Transphobes who say their pronouns are beep/boop or something else in their bio underestimate my willingness to adhere to those pronouns

I love the normalization of neopronouns for this reason. Transphobes are just gonna get their "ironic" pronouns used and respected lmao. Neopronouns users were so based for doing this.

A classmate in undergrad once tried to test me by claiming she would only agree to respect nonbinary pronouns if I used Her Majesty as pronouns for her.

She lasted 2 days before she realized I had absolutely zero problem doing exactly that and was too embarrassed to ever argue with me about pronouns in class again.

When I was working at the greenhouse, one of my coworkers was getting flustered because he was a Proper Gentleman who called everyone "Sir" or "Ma'am" and was getting genuinely heated that there wasn't a gender-neutral honorific for nonbinary people like me.

"Well, you could always call me 'Your Majesty'." I said.

As a Joke.

Because in addition to looking and sounding like an older Yosemitie Sam, he took me Extremely Seriously and addressed me as "Your Majesty" for the rest of the summer. Which was hysterical because it was things like "Your Majesty? Where is the fungicide?" and *gestures at me* "You'll have to as Their Majesty about the tomatoes." He also would call every single person he could not immediately identify the gender of "Your Majesty" and also everyone that had neon hair.

So yes, you should absolutely rigorously adhere to someone's pronouns (Especially if they're unusual pronouns), because it's respectful, because it's clowning on assholes, and because it is fucking delightful.

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them

#here is a man so heartless he has literally cut his own heart out of his chest #but he's still not as evil as the fucking east india trading company

THE WET BOX

ill never forgive you guys for reblogging the version without the wet box addition now there's edgelords in my notes and nobody gets to hear about the wet box

Whittled Vittles: Realistic Foods Carved from Wood by Seiji Kawasaki 

Who handled this situation better?

Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 4, Episode 22 and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 1, Episode 17

Odo coulda just souped himself out of that situation. But that's the awesome power of Lwaxana, she makes you forget who and what you are.

Picard though, he's like a mammoth being exhausted to death by the creature of inexhaustible endurance.

stop asking neil gaiman to confirm/deny things and just violently project your own issues onto the characters the way God intended 

Guys do u know that one meme where there's a girl and like a bodyguard (???) ordering drinks and the waiter give them the wrong drinks so they switch them on the last panel,???????? BECAUSE I C1NT FING IT^

I FUCKIBG GOT IT RAAAAAHHHHHHH 💥💥💥💥💥

Apparently that's dad! He's in a lot of the photos.

Trying my best to spread this

Sorry for not giving the link earlier 💔

The most impressive communal shitpost I’ve yet seen from a linguistics Facebook group

Bed makers are a rare breed I see. 😭

What I like is how it is so nakedly obviously why the cop tracked him (Not stopped him, his lights were not on and he gave no lawful orders) Brock flipped the cop the bird when he saw him harassing a woman. This, naturally, isn't in the report because that's not a legal reason to arrest someone.

a tldr of this situation is that a trans man flipped off a cop as he was driving by, which is an action protected under the first amendment, the cop stalked him, pulled him over, beat him until he had a concussion, then lied about it after the fact despite the fact there was video evidence. the trans man was then charged with three bogus felonies, sexually harassed by at least one other officer, and then put in a women’s holding cell. he has lost his job and will likely have extreme difficulty finding another and the officer — who, again, lied about an event that was caught on camera — has not faced any consequences. this man’s life has, as the article states, been ruined by the heinous, though unsurprising, actions of this cop.

fuck cops. abolish the police. and stop erasing the state sanctioned violence being perpetrated against trans masculine people. this is the third story of police violence against a trans man i’ve read about this year, and it’s only been from other trans men talking about it.

Let's all stop being weird in the notes right now, and instead shut up and put your money where your mouth is. I haven't seen his GoFundMe link posted, but as of July 26 2023, an update has explained he's still in need of assistance with bail+legal fees.

official boob post

also literally fucked a man so hard yesterday that today i found pieces of my bed on the floor

I read this too fast and thought it said “pieces of him on the floor”

This tattoo is very funny when you know that kerning is the fancy term for the space between letters. Very important in text design to get it right.

I’ve read that Agatha said she loved being married to an archaeologist because the older she got, the more interesting he found her. And I think that is one of the best quotes about love that I have ever heard.

Good for this person. This is exactly what you do. Screw the job.

I had a job that made me work an all nighter, 30 hours straight, over Thanksgiving. I resigned that Monday and it was one of the most satisfying decisions I’ve ever made.

Part 3:

Please pay attention to all the manipulation tactics this boss uses, because they’re pulling out every trick in the book.

This is like a 101 course in how employers use guilt trips to coerce you into putting up with their bullshit. This is precisely why you should never trust those employers who insist that they’re “like a family.” They are not. It’s just a ruse so that your boss can neg you into putting your job ahead of your actual life.

Fuck this was equal parts infuriating (because OH BOY have I been there - right down to getting the funeral phone call from work) and viscerally, achingly satisfying.

If a workplace can’t function without you that is NOT a good thing. It does not make you indispensable. It just means they expect you to snap yourself in half bending over backwards for their bottom line.

And for the love of god, if a company senior ever utters the phrase “we’re like a family”? RUN

Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"

More from the notes:

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
