rlly embarrassing when ppl act like topping/bottoming has any bearing on anything beyond how you like to fuck. grow up
you’re like, inches away from asking who’s the man and who’s the woman lol
this post is about gay sex in real life but I’m glad you’re all having fun with your tv shows
spy device in my pocket phone listening to conversations I have with medical professionals and immediately sharing that data with Instagram to barrage me with ads related to the thing I was talking about feels like it should be a violation of HIPPA and patient confidentiality but I dont know enough about the law to know for sure
also seems unlikely it was based off past internet searches/ad interactions... I work in clinical data entry right now, and search for a LOT of (mostly old people) meds to cross check things like generic names, use, side effects but im not getting ads promising me cures for hypertension and heart disease.
Kind of creepy, even aside from privacy issues, given the rise of pseudoscience in the US, hypothetically if someone did something serious going on like there's no real way to stop ads from preying in desperate people trying to convince them snake oil or horse dewormer is the way to go :/
god I wish I had a pair of menacing black gauntlets with really sharp fingertip claws I bet it feels good as fuck to have your hands resting palm-down on a surface and then scratch some deep fucking gashes into it as you clench your hand a little closer to a fist when your evil minion delivers some bad news to you
ohhh fuck yeah, you understand
why do americans think everyone on the internet lives in the same place as them. just saw someone say honeybees are "not native". not native to where????? the entire planet?????
Why are you not on estrogen and hamburgers? It's literally good for you
forcefem rules but i draw the line at american values. you can get fatter in ways that involve good food
its alright, we can stop pretending the united states exists and reclaim burgers for women
"gwyneth is getting tested" gywn is taking her fucking mcat right there in net
THE advantage of memorizing poetry is that when somethings happening, maybe even you’re in a situation or a location, you can just go “ok. lady of shallott time” and boom. you reclaimed your mental space and attention for YOU for the next ten minutes
Everyone should be able to do one card trick, tell two jokes, and recite three poems, in case they are ever trapped in an elevator.

i know this is humorous but! i learned from one of my college friends (who learned from a therapist) that reciting a poem you have memorized is a great grounding & focusing technique when you’re spiraling into anxiety or panic. i can personally attest that The Tyger has staved off several panic attacks.
so like if said “situation or location” is freaking you out really badly, “lady of shallott time” can help reclaim your mental health too
Ok everybody share what poems you can recite in case we’re trapped in an elevator.
I’ve got the first 42 lines of The Canterbury Tales in Middle English, the first 10 lines of Beowulf in Old English, the first canto of Tolkien’s Lay of Beren and Luthien, and Sonnet XVI by Pablo Neruda (“I love the handful of the earth you are”). I used to have the Proem of the Kalevala but I’m a bit shaky on it it now and I think i’ve only got the first two sentences. Anda handful of others I half-remember which i could probably do if I were with someone else who half-remembered the same ones and we could prompt each other back and forth.
The best part about turning 30 was, legitimately, unlocking the ability to use this image
love it when a characters has a specific thing they say. like a nickname, or a certain way of saying phrase that identifiably different.
as a reader, it gives the character a bit more depth, just a hint of personality. like a little piece of mint you've put on top of my food.
as a writer, suddenly it becomes A HUNDRED TIME EASIER TO WRITE DIALOGUE. I can have the character say the most batshit crazy ooc thing, and just add that small thing, and it's all good.
(and for both, it's just easier to keep track of who's talking when the quotatives are dropped)
you are not immune to a psychosexual relationship with your sword
Taako, Merle and Magnus walking back home after a mission or something? Let them have a nice afternoon.
Finishing this podcast is a heartbreak every single time.
...almost every country has intersexist laws.
Many countries have mandatory military service.
All countries atleast have religious exception for allowed circumcision (u.s. is just worse)
Many countries outside of u.s. have very strong racism for specific type of natives. Mexico towarda Nahua, Ireland towards Irish travelers, australia towards aboriginals, etc.
U.s. problems, are not u.s. exclusive. There is just different spectrums of all the problems. Us has a lot worse for a lot of categories, but not all (aka forced military service when you are an adult is not a u.s. thing. U.s. has draft capabilities but not a constant all the time thing)
Countries have people that want to strip the rights of some people. That is not exclusive.
Norway (the country being mentioned) literally oppresses Sami (an Indigenous population) people to this day.
Yes I still cut off family and so should you basically
Sometimes a fanon interpretation shared by so many people will gaslight you into thinking YOU're not smart enough to understand it when, in reality, no, the collective of a fandom can indeed just be misinterpreting a character beyond parody. It's not you, it's them
