BOLDNESS IS ALL [faceplants]

no matter what i am doing or thinking about there is always a tiny part of my mind dedicated to hoping donald trumps dick explodes

guys i think its working

A couple of days ago I got hit with the beautiful vision of James Tolbert Paul and honestly I would pay Starkid good money to make it real.

Please god it would be so funny

there is no downside to voting for Count Binface. its not taking away from other candidates bcos they aren't any and the more votes he gets the stupider Farage looks.

So what happens if Count Binface actually wins? Does he join Parliament? Does he have to take the bin off his face?

there’s very few things that drive me up the wall in fandom as much as this weird new assumption that fandom is primarily a space for younger people that older folks are only accepted into in a trial basis if they promise to centralize and accommodate younger fans, and further, anything else is creepy and predatory. IT’S OKAY FOR ADULTS TO PRODUCE CONTENT FOR OTHER ADULTS.

if I have to read “women in their 30s” used as an insult one more time I swear I’ll - step away from that user and just hang out with the other grownups who consistently create good content because I’m also an adult and too busy comparing car insurance to fight with teenagers on the internet, but goddAMMIT I’ll be annoyed

I’ve been in this hole since yall lil shits were three apples tall and I’ll die in this hole too

tumblr users being generally knowledgeable about phishing attempts and scams and yet not hesitating to click various links from unknown users because they say such things as "spin the wheel to determine your alvin and the chipmunks band persona based on my favorite italian desserts" and we go "heck yeah."

"Squeaky clean" is doing a lot of heavy lifting if it's referring to a middle aged fag, old enough to have served under Don't Ask Don't Tell. Like, sodomy laws were still constitutional in his adult life.

In addition to last reblog: every single person on here is Just Some Person, the same kind of thing you are. A lot of weirdness on here is downstream of people assuming having a large tumblr following makes you a different class of being. (And therefore, e.g., immune to death threats)

in a normal year I think we'd have talked more about the fact that recently there were 17 earthquakes in a single day apparently centred on Area 51

Hey, jsyk, the reason he said lol was bc nukes are very, VERY easy to read on a seismograph with basic analysis tools. If it were nukes various scientists would be shouting and showing us the data bc seismograph data is public, as is the knowledge of how to read nuclear blasts with them. He, as an academic, knows this fact and thinks it’s funny bc WE WOULD KNOW, but it doesn’t communicate well to the public who doesn’t understand this.

Ah, he says this in the article. I hadn’t read it yet, I just knew this offhand bc physicist

Biggest fuck-up ever is that people have to pay to become doctors

Like unironically we should be subsidising at least 50% of their educations. What do you mean we have a shortage of doctors we should have surplus. What do you mean they’re being overworked they should be treated like royalty, they can fix human bodies

I don’t care if some of them are only doing it for the money. I don’t care if all of them are only doing it for the money. Intentions don’t matter to the stitches in my nana’s leg or the ten billion other lifesaving treatments we all get at a detriment to their finances and mental wellbeing. Entire cities are kept alive by just a couple thousand of them what are we DOINGGGGG

If we had more, maybe it would be easier to get the shitty ones fucking replaced. The board isn't going to do much to the only endocrinologist in the state who takes Medicaid, you know? But if there were more than, idk, maybe 5? Maybe then?

More importantly if you needed less money and less physical stamina to become a doctor, people with less money and less physical stamina could become doctors, which would increase diversity and improve patient care.

If you're hypermobile, be especially gentle.

Everyone needs to stop saying death of the author when what they mean is separating the art from the artist. Like FR stop it.

I know it's mainly just ignorance of what the term means but I do wonder if this happens in part bcos 'death of the author' sounds so dramatic like oh this author is dead to me, I don't care about them anymore. Whereas 'separating the art from the artist' is a lot more neutral and well. In CERTAIN CASES it is kind of immediately apparent that you cannot.
