Reblogging to do what the failed education system never did.

Adding Wendy Carlos to the list! Trans icon and pioneer of synthesized music!!

thinking about anti-role models. people you look at like "well whatever i'm gonna be in life it's not gonna be that"

Flamingos. At first it was because I love tacky stuff, and lawn flamingos are as tacky as it gets, next to gnomes (which I also love). Now it’s just like a Thing with my friends.

answered a scam call today and had the most bizarre conversation

Enemies to lovers, slow burn, 500K

This reads like a bit from a British sketch comedy.

For those who don’t know and don’t want to click thru to find out: Jonas Salk is the reason we in North America no longer live in terror of polio. He also refused to patent or profit from his vaccine. He also spent the last years of his life researching a vaccine for AIDS, long before that was cool and back when a lot of people were secretly hoping it really would just kill all the gays. So you’re damn right people applauded and gave free upgrades.

Reblogging again because this time I did click through, and because of the times in which we live: Jonas Salk was Jewish, and the child of immigrants. 

Lilo & Stitch is a great example of a story that has no villains. It has antagonists, sure, but most of them are well-meaning. The worst person in the film is that little shit Myrtle, but she’s not in the film that much anyway.

Yes. This.

Fun fact in addition: Cary Elwes wasn’t allowed to be part of that scene because he kept laughing. The Westley on the table was dummy.

This is AFTER he broke a toe riding Andre the Giant’s ATV, and got concussed when he and Christopher Guest tried to make the scene where Count Rugen knocks Wesley out more convincing. Mandy Patinkin busted the rib trying not to laugh, and also accidentally stabbed Guest during their fight scene.  About the only person who didn’t get some form of overenthusiasm-induced injury or illness during filming was Robin Wright, who had to repeatedly get her dress burnt up in the fire swamp scene because Goldman ruined one of the takes by screaming “Oh my god, she’s on fire!”

The guy in the giant rodent costume got arrested on his way to the set and they had to delay production to go bail him out

My only real and valid writing tip is that you google every word you make up for your fantasy stories. That's It

there won't be any results though because you just made it up

One time I made up a name for a character and after googling it discovered it was a Zimbabwean slur

Star Wars used "Jizz" as the name for a genre of music.

Oh my god, I had completely forgotten about this. When I was in middle school my best friend and I wrote fantasy stories and shared them with each other for feedback and she had named the staple food of her fictional nation's labor class "cum stew." I said nothing. Mandi, if you're out there, I'm sorry. I hope that detail didn't make it into the second draft before you let your dad who was a pastor read it.
