Don't let the bastards get you down

Green heron (Butorides virescens)

Oh, you're so smart, so super smart but too dumb to realize that being shitty to people is a bad idea? Oh ok.

Some of you people aren't even gay or asexual you've just neutered yourselves on cartoons

you don't have to be embarrassed liking things. if you're like "I like power wash simulator" you can just say it with your chest out. someone made that to be played and liked, and you like it. if you're like "I like eating pickles on peanutbutter sandwiches" just fucking saying it with your chest out!! no people aren't going to get it, but also they're your tastebuds so who the fuck cares, it's just food. I can't think of a weird third thing, but like fuck. we're here for only 80 years get your hahas and heehees in

Freaks tend to reason “sex is not inherently traumatizing, ergo molestation is not that bad. Just a perception thing.” I take the opposite perspective. I think sex is an inherently fraught, vulnerable, loaded experience. And it makes sense you need adult cognition and confidence to navigate it without repercussion. Even so, adults are fucked up by (ostensibly consensual!) sexual experiences all the time. Sex can be totally “consensual,” and still traumatizing. This doesn’t speak to the immature and undeveloped perspective of the victim. It speaks to the highly personal, vulnerable, fraught nature of sex itself in any capacity

every time they try to cook up controversy on some big-name woman, some percentage of you fall for it. get good and say "I don't care" more. for feminism.

I have been defending Pokémon go to the polls for a decade and I defend it for another decade if I have to. It was funny. Yall are just misogynists.

and you know what also ive done in the decade since she said this? I've Pokémon gone to the polls!!!!!

if you people had pokemon gone to the polls we wouldn't be in this mess

my husband has been reading moby dick and he's been flying through it. I ask him if it's a hard read and he's like eh there are passages that are dense that I've had to parse a bit but overall not so much. he also says he really likes it. it makes you wonder how much literature only feels inaccessible because of the academic veneer over it but are actually just, you know, big dumb books like everything else.

bro did you know the pequod is covered in whale bones. like it's a crazy half whale half ship covered in bones and teeth making up missing parts of the boat. does this image live in the public's imagination?? it's like a very cool spooky creepy body horror ship hunting its own and nobody is talking about this. we need to make reading cool again there's some shit in these books!!!!

The Scarlet Pimpernel is fucking good and Jane Austen is so funny. Classics are classics for a reason sometimes.

The “Thunk” will always kill me.

14/10 doing his best

Imagine spending years honing your craft only to have the internet go crazy over a fuzzy rendition of a kitten. Anyway, I love Kevin.

THIS THIS THIS.

So instead of showcasing the specific treatment we were told of it, which is the contrary philosophy of most filmmaking (show, don’t tell)

“Show don’t tell” is for FUCKING AMATEURS.
