you know i had to do it

Excuse meeee! Talk about reverse harem! Literally!

Down to the cinnabar virginity dot!!!

people talk about how we need to bring back "don't feed the trolls" rhetoric for modern internet ragebait and I agree but also I think the most useful thing from the Old Internet that I miss is LURKING

be a lurker. just read things and think about them without feeling the need to weigh in or call out or disseminate everything you encounter. it's so nice and so freeing and it's a good way to learn things.

I have frequently regretted getting involved in shit that didn't involve me online but you know what I've never regretted doing? Lurking. literally lurk moar

Liu Jianglai needs to be on his knees before Rong Shanbao again.

It's been sorely lacking for the last 10+ episodes and their relationship would be so much the better for it.

Didn't even get out of my alley on the way to work before ICE tried another major assault in my neighborhood this morning. Spent two hours plus chasing ICE around the neighborhood. Got my first taste of tear gas and handed out a bunch of my KN95 masks to other folks for next time. It's nasty shit but it can be survived.

Also saw officers shooting at people's feet to make them move not once but twice. Given that the bullets didn't bounce and left small holes in the asphalt, I think that might have been live rounds (please correct me if someone knows better). Didn't catch it on video, I'm not great at recording yet but I expect to get a lot of practice in the next few weeks.

My poor furious neighborhood. I ran into someone who had been on her way to lay flowers on Renee Good's grave when she heard the whistle and showed up. That's where we are today. Can't even grieve without having to stand up and fight again.

Because I cannot actually believe this post👀:

It’s amazing how much we can see ourselves in some of the other ape species and how much they likely see of themselves in us. 

everyone in the comments going “haha two apes looking at a bug...”

bitch you’re looking too

three apes looking at a bug

I am FINALLY watching Fangs of Fortune and a) everyone is SO beautiful, b) the sound design is SO goofy, and c) the polycule vibes are INSANE. Just off the charts. It’s a miracle this Demon Hunting Bureau has any time for demon hunting amidst all the tender hand-holding and loaded sidelong looks. Each of them is weirder than the last. “Appearing normal is actually an anomaly,” the closest thing to a normal man among them says in episode 6, and by god they really all take that to heart. Freak4freak4freak4freak. I love them your honor.

*sees whatever the fandom is doing* there's a really good story happening on the actual show if you want to watch that instead

the proprietress who got tired of watching wei wuxian play 5D mental chess against himself and lose for several minutes and decided to sail this ship herself is the unsung hero of mdzs

I’m 19 episodes into Glory and in a nutshell, the drama is:
