Has anyone written a queer romantasy retelling/homage of a classic piece of literature yet? You could advertise it on tumblr with a pull quote that remixes the most quotable line from the original work into something unbearably dumb. I don’t know why no one’s tried this, seems like free money.

shipping the popular yaoi pairing but shaking my head while i do to indicate that i also care about the work's themes and other characters

okay. fine. i have a solution that will make no one happy. let's make pluto a planet. if we launch one tungsten cube per day for 200 years precisely aimed at pluto's surface it will become massive enough to gravitationally clear its orbit of other kuiper belt objects. this will be completely useless and extremely expensive as well as potentially dangerous. and it will destroy the heart

see, this is again exactly the type of thinking i was roasting. you can't even name the kuiper belt objects or the features that make them unique or interesting for study. you don't know any of the things we have learned following this change in nomenclature. you can't accept empiricism or adapt to change. you're trying to use a "punk" label imagining yourself postured in some kind of resistance to authority when what you're really doing is clinging to the way things were when you were a child, which changed twenty years ago, and invoking a ridiculous and pointless threat of nuclear bombs to defend it, aligning yourself precisely with the actions of the state. it's sad

health isn't a virtue.

people still go around acting like they've done something good in order to be able bodied and healthy. that they worked for it, that it's due to their moral fibre or good upbringing or self control. they genuinely, on some level, believe that they are a good person solely based on the strength of their physical abilities. they will resist the fact that it is largely down to chance that they were able to maintain such health. whatever they think they've built from scratch, the building blocks were already handed to them. not because they're more worthy of it, just by luck. and they really think they're worth more based on that sheer luck. i've met disabled people worth a hundred of the healthiest ableds alive.

Fuck your dream job what’s your dream hobby that you don’t have the means to take up yet. Mine are falconry and aerial acrobatics

I think it’s funny how Mormon God was like “look polygamy is super important and I am telling you my followers to practice it even in the face of persecution” and then 40 years later Congress said Utah wouldn’t be given statehood as long as the LDS practiced polygamy and Mormon God was like “Ok tell everyone I changed my mind”

I just really like the idea that Mormon God like, basically caved into pressure from the federal government
