"The Angst Monarch"

I'm still thinking about the guy who saw me realize my wheelchair wouldn't fit in the elevator because he (also a wheelchair user) was already inside it and immediately quipped, "This elevator ain't accessible enough for the both of us."

Since tumblr is rightfully loving this one, I feel obligated to mention that I ran into the same guy again on the last day of the convention and told him Scribe was really entertained by this, and he said that the night before he'd also really gotten one of the hotel waitresses, who informed him he could take a seat wherever and he replied "Oh, no thanks, I brought my own"

i think "[sic]" is one of the funniest things of literature. like yeah this guy really wrote it out like that

For the uninitiated, you write [sic]—literally "this" or "so" in latin—to indicate that you haven't altered the wording or spelling. While it can be used to preserve a joke misspelling (aminals) or indicate that you know it looks weird (the Toronto Maple Leafs), it is also the most biting three letters that you can throw at a motherfucker who should know better.

Somebody made an error here and it sure wasn't me (derogatory)

I love how Grace was staring at Dubois and Shapiro and immediately leaves to talk to Stratt like "do you get the whole romance thing people have going on" and they have an indirect conversation implying that no she doesnt get it either but some people do and then they rejoin the party

my number one advice for parents is to listen to your children tbh. and i dont just mean listening to their problems i mean like. when your kid recites the plot of a movie youve already seen or your tells you about what they did at school today or wants to show you their roblox gameplay. youve gotta be invested in knowing your kid as a person or why are you even doing the whole parenting thing.

Man I miss free the nipple. Its getting warmer and we don’t even have free the nipple anymore

For years, sci-fi has asked, what if aliens were wetter than us. Project Hail Mary posits a new, daring question. What if we are the wet aliens

I think the "trans men are men" "trans women are women" mantra will inherently fail trans liberation because it's only there to make cis people confortable. It leaves out all the gender diverse people, all the intersex, and non binary people. It doesn't do shit for us

Op i appreciate the context but i was going to rb anyway no questions asked

I love this because it means that everything that is in the show was in personal logs. Picard is depicted as hating Lwaxana Troi specifically because he just couldn't help but bitch about her in his personal logs every night. We only know about that one conversation because Garak was so appaled he made an entry specifically about how vile rootbeer is. The doctor that transferred Dax from Curzon to Jadzia went home and wrote "dear diary, today I operated on a trill who fucked himself to death".
