dr who is so crazy imagine your species goes extinct except for two theater kids who call themselves The Orthodontist and the Administrator and they just go around causing problems and destroying your entire culture's reputation

did you hear about the ancient race of enchanted elves? they fell into the darkness of their own hubris. anyway that over there is the two survivors, Wiz and da Boss, who are only taking breaks from kicking each other in the nuts to make out

It’s called “environmental amnesia” and it’s an actual issue environmentalists discuss how to combat. The climate crisis makes it more widespread but it’s been something that’s happening for generations. The story of The Lorax describes it beautifully. The idea that what you remember is what you consider normal, but if the changes happen slowly over generations, you don’t see how large they are because you don’t personally remember them being very different, even if you were told stories about it.

Nobody’s forcing you to buy these yk

Nobody’s forcing you to walk into, I wanna say hobby lobby (a Christian store, mind you)? and walk past the crosses on sale for 50% off

Ngl this is a very weak comeback

i mean nobody's forcing conservatives to buy pride merch, but they still scream about how we're shoving our lifestyle down their throats just bc they saw a rainbow in the store, so idk. i feel like it's pretty comparable

oopsie! someone forgot that christian empires have spent several centuries slaughtering people while queers have been simply existing.

This is not anthropomorphization but genuinely something theyre known to do. I've heard divers say octopuses and cuttlefish get fascinated by hand gestures and will sometimes respond to them like. We probably do look like we have little cephalopods on the ends of our arms, to them. Like we're always putting on a puppet show.

Fun fact: this is a theory of mind deficit! Kids around this age don't have a good grasp on what other people know or how they come to know it. A simple example would be a kid talking to grandma on a voice call and saying "I'm looking at this," without clarifying what "this" is because it doesn't occur to them that grandma can't see it.

For most of their lives, the child's parents have known everything about anything they do. They seem omniscient. So when the kid first goes off to school, they just assume their parent will know everything they did during the day.

never in all of my years would i have expected to characterize a company’s rebrand as “actively hostile” and “potentially endangering lives” yet here we are

for context, that X sign is dangerously bright, directly faces an entire apartment complex, and to top it all off it fucking strobes

My best advice for people new to adulthood: keep emergency food around.

I don't mean like those prepper type people. I mean keep a granola bar in your purse or backpack. If you have a car, keep a jar of peanuts in there.

This is good for if you miss your bus, or forget your wallet somewhere, or get stuck in traffic. You never know when you are going to feel shaky, and it's better to have something quick and easy on hand, in case you need it.

Having emergency food around is your best friend. Trust me.
