reckonings

Carrie being skinny in every adaptation is like how Heathcliff is white in most of his. Directors somehow cut out the most important part of their characters, the reason why they have been subjected to such prejudice and why they are the way they are. Why THE BOOKS GO THE WAY THEY DO. Do you think Heathcliff would have been so outcasted and forbidden to be with Catherine if he was white? Do you think Carrie would have been relentlessly bullied and borderline tortured by her peers if she was skinny and pretty?

Do you think tumblr will ever learn the difference between “I’m defending this person because I agree with them wholeheartedly and I am also like this person” and “I’m defending this person because your behavior is dangerous and you need to stop”

There are many benefits to being a marine archeologist

liking pineapple on pizza is actually really useful bc if someone gets weird about it i know for sure i can't openly engage w them on like 90% of things and i gotta go coworker mode

listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream off, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.

This is actually what I was adviced to do at the work rehabilitation program I went to. Hasn't left my mind since. 10/10 solid advice

“you can disagree with mitch mcconnell and still wish him well” i wish he would have died right there on camera in front of america that shit would have been fire and i think what the country really needs right now for healing

3 years later, charlie and lindsey are dead, but this demon keeps on trucking despite rag dolling down the steps of congress like buster keaton once a month. and so our nation remains hopelessly divided. great work everyone. i hope all of those well wishes were worth it. you fucking nincompoops.

real talk I think steampunk is kinda neat like sorta neat you'know like as a little touch of spice to a setting that shouldn't normally have that kinda stuff. like a robot arm here a gun there some contraptions elsewheres. like skies of arcadia levels of steampunk is pretty much ideal. but y'see ultimately I'm pro-steampunk as a concept. but real talk for a second if your setting has a place called "the clockwork [location or concept]" I'm gonna beat you to death with hammers.

Sounds like someone's just salty theyre stuck in my clockwork labyrinth again

I know you're laughing at me I can hear the sprockets on your brown tophat jingling and once I find my way out of here you're fucking toast dude

while the spineless democrat jokes are funny, it's worth acknowledging these people don't actually have some sort of personality flaw preventing them from taking action but rather that they see themselves benefiting more when not taking action. as long as they're still holding office, they can afford to ignore concerns of their voter base (especially with the whole "vote blue no matter who" attitude persisting).

on the surface the trump administration may seem detrimental to "world order", but in reality it's more of a gloves-off look at long existing problems with US hegemony, and the fact that many respected leaders are using a cost-benefit analysis when it comes to giving a fuck about anyone
