Give me some leeway, hit the head, learning the ropes, the cat is out of the bag, get underway, the cut of your jib, true colors, hand over fist

under the weather, in the doldrums, long shot, toe the line, groggy, aloof, overhaul, mainstay, pooped, keel over, in the offing, give a wide berth, footloose, flying colors, press into service, shake a leg

Chock-a-block. Scuttlebutt. By and large. Above board. Slush fund. Batten down the hatches. Shot across the bow. At loggerheads. Squared away. Dead reckoning. Down in the doldrums. Touch and go. Fathom/plumb. Leading light. Overwhelm, overreach. Skyscraper (originally a sail at the very tip top of a mast!). The bitter end.

we’re all in the same boat

Also no they're not saying it cuz they want a pat on the back , they're saying 'hey my story is evidence that it is possible to make these changes.'

Don't punish the behavior you want to see

Guy who says "yeah lemmie just write that down" and starts hand-drawing a QR code that corresponds to the URL you just gave him.

Shout out to 10yo me who wanted to earn a doctorate to have a gender-neutral form of adress. Thank the heavens she learned about Mx (and others), I can't even imagine how stressed she'd be rn <3.

judas was probably like "jesus has pulled off so many wacky things, he'll get out of this one lickity split, and i get three shiny coins out of it, too"

ALSO A DADDY LONG LEGS is different in the UK vs USA. I learned that by arguing with some Brits because they said there was a daddy long legs on the wall, i looked and only saw an insect, argued with them all for 45 minutes until we all looked it up and saw that we were both correct.

an extremely good post addition

FINALLY, SOME GOOD QUALITY EXPLANATION OF WHY “I DONT LOOK LIKE I HAVE ADHD” BECAUSE ITS NOT REALLY CANT SIT STILL FOCUS NONE DISORDER ITS SOMETHING A WHOLE LOT MORE COMPLEX

Actually yeah. I just reblogged this silently without any acknowledgement of it, but this is hones to god one of the best explanations I’ve seen.

polyamory and bisexuality could have saved camelot

this was about king arthur & queen guinevere & lancelot in, like, le mort d'arthur I guess but people saying bbc arthur & gwen & merlin: yeah sure. them too.

Victor refusing to make the Monster a wife because he was worried they’d breed is such a cop out. Like, you’re cobbling together body parts from charnel houses. You can just not give her any ovaries. You can just spay her like a cat. Why are you this dumb Victor. You’re a doctor.

the implication that victor spend weeks giving the monster a working dick is also extremely weird

I know I started this conversation but I’m so sorry I did

Considering we know who Mary Shelley was spending time around I guarantee this was a CONVERSATION that she actively and adamantly refused to actually include in the text

Gene Wilder was a comedic master.

A rare example of a movie with absolutely NO poor performances, and every single member of the cast firing on all cylinders.

Thats just how Mel rolls. All his movies are great.

pro-abortion. pro-divorce. i believe we have the god-given right to give up

when people go after no-fault divorce or abortion what they're really doing is trying to enshrine the sunk cost fallacy into law

must a show be good? can it not exist just to change you irrevocably

it’s october 1st so he’s making the rounds again ✨
