but i stay silly! *←said in the most world-weary voice you ever did hear*

Reblog you stay silly

ohhh my god I just fact-checked, Nolan actually DID cut the "Nobody" scene from his Odyssey movie. Mfer that is like cutting the Father reveal from Star Wars. Let me speak in a language you understand this is like not dressing Batman up in his suit. "It was not possible to work it in" the TikTok musical with a budget of $4 and a scratched Hamilton CD managed to work it in in SONG form, step up your FUCKING GAME

the legally blonde mentality isnt just for law students. u can bring that attitude with you into every field of work. be the whimsical force of positive change. wear that neon outfit. snaps for us all.

this post was inspired by my boss telling me she couldnt "take me seriously" in a pair of dinosaur print overalls. sorry i have two degrees and a dope wardrobe. you dont need to take me seriously but You Will Take Me.

OP's an inspiration. bring on the whimsy movement!

la pregunta es de dónde sacó la receta del helado

OR! OR! This is big Zheng He propaganda. One of my favorite dumb conspiracies is that zhang He made it to the west coast of the Americas and hid his findings. The only piece of evidence was literally an anchor that washed up on the coast of one of the Americas. I remember being sick as a dog at like 2am and watching the history channel documentary where they had the conspiracy theorist explain his findings for like 20 minutes and then the History Channel brought in expert after expert to make fun of him and disprove it

they say you can't pour from an empty cup but i've been doing it my whole life and aside from all of these mysterious ailments it's working out great for me

This is counterintuitive but overworking yourself is sometimes way easier when you have a chronic illness. “If my body is gonna hurt anyway then I’m gonna do it in pain” can be a very addicting thought process. I’m trying to get better at treating my body well but it’s hard to when my body is being a BITCH

I know this is meant to be funny but it actually makes such a good point about how ADHD and executive dysfunction can impact people in really major ways, including financially

Not my psych reminding me multiple times that I need to finish filling out their horrid online forms or I’ll get charged full price, only for me to put it off because I keep forgetting about it lol

Someone said it in the comments but if we are going to feel sympathy for the ice storms in the south that have killed a lot of people (admittedly due to bad infrastructure too) then we have to also care about heat waves in Europe and wild fires in LA

Analyzing the politics of a work that's meant to be apolitical is actually a really interesting exercise because it asks you to critically examine what the creator considers to be "political" in the first place. Which ideas are just How Things Are, and which ones are Political, and how is that influenced by the creator's beliefs?

Usually this just ends up with you looking like a moron btw

Angrily lashing out at the suggestion that it's possible to do basic media analysis was foundational to the ragebait ecosystem of the 2010s, from which we got basically the entire culture of modern far right politics, btw.

I genuinely believe myself and others are being so sincere and literal when we say TOUCH GRASS

I went outside and got an education, that's where I learned that you can obtain knowledge and insight through analytical methods, then noticed that some people who sit on the internet yelling at strangers get really mad about that constantly.

This is an Andy Weir moment. He says that his books are apolitical but then in Hail Mary a lady becomes world dictator and we’re all supposed to be like “Hell yeah!” There’s a scene where she goes to trial and then says “I’m above the law, also the American army is super badass” and then leaves and it’s like…. What?

Oh my god, the coffins at display at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts made me cry because they felt like the most human burial tradition I’ve seen

As a tall person who used to hike in orb weaver territory, this is a crime

It's *literally* over THIRTY ONE dollars

Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart

#'this is present in the text' is often a good first step #but those second and third ones (naming it; describing its function) are vital (via @elucubrare)

Being able to name the bullshittery is one of the most important parts of real and authentic literacy

Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???

as a black gay person real like where y'all be finding this stuff pass the name

for real though, those DO NOT WATCH OR YOU'LL CORRUPT YOUR CHILDREN lists put out by conservative christian family groups is where I find all the stellar tv shows. Like, shit I didn't know half of those existed, thanks for finding them for me, gonna go watch 30 hours of gay tv now!
