And the award for best use of that deer GIF ever goes to…

my wife's been looking at the tolkein wiki and from this ambient exposure i think i can safely say that a defining feature of the First Age was that a lot of people, like a surprising number of people, got torn apart by werewolves. werewolf eviscerations really fell off steeply once the first age ended.

the thing that other gender members don't understand is that members of my gender are constantly being judged and scrutinised by society and the world around us, so we often end up having to become very self-conscious as a survival mechanism; unlike other gender members who i presume probably float gently through life on a cloud of passive acceptance or something

The thing that trans people of the other gender don't understand is that trans people of my gender are pressured and bullied into conforming to our assigned gender which is mentally and often physically dangerous. We receive tacit approval for conforming to our assigned gender and are punished for conforming to our proper gender. Since I never experienced pressure in the opposite direction, clearly trans people of the other gender didn't either. Everyone in the world must have experienced this pressure in the same direction as me, so trans people of the opposite gender were receiving tacit approval and support for transitioning, and are not oppressed like trans people of my gender.

When I think of Tarzan, a naked orphaned jungle man raised by apes in the mud and darkness away from society, what comes to mind is of course the smooth soft rock and roll of Phil Collins

time is a flat iron and brother i’m getting smooth as fuck

time is a curling iron and brother i'm all twisted up

Time is a flat iron, smooth as fuck Time is a curler, twisted up Time is an updo, pinned and tucked Time is a weave-in, stitched and stuck Time is organic, shaped by luck Time is a construct Monster truck

"Go ham" is an offensive choice of words :/

Imagine if sometimes some fucking Ț̷̡͂̀̎͠h̸̜̅͐̄ì̸̩̮̃̃̆n̸̗̰̟͉͐̑͋͆͜g̸̮̻͔̼̬͌ could just crash through the shimmering veil of reality with a trail of fragments from the suffocating void enveloping it, grab whoever's unlucky enough to be closest, and swoop back out like it was nothing. And this was just one of your everyday hazards to worry about. Incredible cosmic horror concept

i'm getting the sense some of you are not actually forklift certified.

well damn . egg on my face

Update: I took a certification class in shipboard Material Handling Equipment at my federal job. *now* I'm forklift certified, but only on ships and piers and only for this company, but also rated to forklift explosives and hazardous materials. Also I'm a woman now.

Interpreted this initially not as shelves, but as your cat having erected defensive fortifications

I cannot get this poem out of my head. It haunts me. Joyously, it haunts me. 

This poem format is my favorite thing and this is the first time I’ve ever seen it’s origin story. I love it. Every time.

Joy and whimsy detected! This bread-licking cow is joyful and whimsical!

The problem with studying the deep ocean is that humans need light to look at things, the depths of the ocean are extremely dark, and what lives there is accustomed to spending most of its time in that darkness. So when we go down there with submersibles and turn on Big Lights to see, we invariably and dramatically alter what's going on, in the same way that it's generally difficult to observe the natural behaviors of terrestrial animals if you whip out a megaphone and shout HEY GUYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING at them first.

I put this in the comments but feel it needs a reblog- Check out some of Dr Edith Widder’s work on light in the deep sea! Among other things, she used the bioluminescence of stoplight fish to deduce wavelengths which most deep sea animals can’t perceive and used that to create light filters to be able to film with minimal disturbance! And that’s how we got 25 minutes of giant squid footage!!!!
