Hey you should totally recruit me. Yeah I've spent the last year in a solitary confinement cell hopped up on my own imbalanced brain chemicals and talking to cats about magic theory. I'm definitely not going to go monkey mode on the first templar who looks at me funny. I totally remember how to be a human. *grabs Warden-Commander's hand* I Love You.

this may be my age showing but I am a passionate supporter of wires. earbuds? put a leash on those things. wireless keyboard? no, it needs to hold hands with the computer. the ps5 controller I forgot to charge has the staying power of a wealthy nonagenarian with a much younger wife and 14 life insurance policies, but the controller plugged into my pc? that baby will outlive my bloodline. my ethernet cable is like a son to me.
interview with the masquerade
vampire: the vampire
the place I work at remodeled these split gendered restrooms into “inclusive restrooms” and never told us what they meant while construction was ongoing. I need you to know every atom of potential criticism or whining that could’ve happened disappeared when people found out this meant we got 10 fully separate private bathrooms with sinks inside. I’ve not heard a single person crack a joke about the inclusive signage. this is the world TERFs are trying to steal from you
It does not suffice - and it is self defeating - to focus exclusively on women's wombs. To the medieval mind, the difference between men and women was that women bore children. The medieval definition of woman was limited solely to her sexuality, to the exclusion of all other possible aspects of her personality. Virtually all medieval stereotypes of woman were described in terms of her sexual and reproductive functions and were justified by anatomical analogies and medical science. I fear that many contemporary feminists are doing the same thing in their search for the "lowest common denominator" of feminity. They are developing essentialist theories of feminine and masculine nature based solely on the biological difference between men and women, justified by crude anatomical analogies. I do not believe this was justified in the past when most women lived most of their adult lives engaged in reproductive functions. And I believe it is even less justified in modern times of post-reproductive sex and post-sexual reproduction, when women will live the majority of their lives engaged in other functions.

a very happy pride month to juhani from knights of the old republic, star wars’ first queer character and one of - if not the first - positive portrayals of a lesbian woman in a video game!!
Folk, I’m gonna vaguepost for a sec here, but it’s an important one.
If you are in the United States and not employed by a zoo or sanctuary or a veterinarian working with a facility, if anyone for any reason offers to allow you to touch a big cat, please do not do it.
No matter how much you want to, no matter how much it is a dream, understand that it is a violation of federal law that could get the facility the cat lives at in very serious trouble. It does not matter if it is through the fence, or in the context of a trained behavior, or if the cat is on a leash. Even if it feels “safe” or they swear the facility condones it.
It’s starting to appear that lots of zookeepers have not been informed appropriately about the scope of the law - or in cases where they do know it’s inappropriate, they are sometimes being overridden by their management and forced to allow encounters. (Even at accredited facilities!)
We do not know exactly what the penalties could be for that happening within an accredited zoo (yay badly implemented laws) but it typically comes down to being risk to a) the cat’s welfare b) the facility’s ability to have any big cats at all and c) someone, either the facility owner or the person offering, could go to jail or pay serious fines. There are two instances of this happening at AZA zoos that were leaked recently and we may now find out how bad it’s going to get for them.
Lots of facilities will have big cat pelts as educational biofacts that they will allow you to touch. You do not ever need to take the risk associated with touching a live big cat - generally anywhere, and especially in the US.
And for some reason, if you ever are in that situation and unethical enough to actually touch the cat? Don’t post it on social media and definitely don’t make that post public. 🙄
Girl when I tell you my life flashed before my eyes
what if you told someone you liked their shoelaces while you were on your knees blowing them in a bathroom stall and they told you that they stole them from the president
You bitches really won’t let me catch a fucking break huh
The survey is here!
A survey to determine how feedism is viewed by those not in the feedist community. A feedist can be defined as: a feedee, feeder, gainer, e
Who is this survey for?
Non feedists. If you are in a feedist relationship but don't identify as a feedist, feel free to answer. (Feedists please don't answer because obviously your answers would all be positive. Reblogging to encourage others to answer is encouraged. If you're in the feedist closet and you want to recommend it to friends, you could try saying "I just learned about this kink through this survey, maybe you would like to take it and learn about it?" If you have the type of relationship for it) There are options for asexuals throughout.
All questions are optional, so if something isn't applicable/you don't want to answer it, you don't have to. There is an "other" option for each question, but please try to use the preselected multiple choice unless you really don't feel like any apply. If I get a ton of responses it will be easier to look at the responses if they're preselected.
There's 35-40 questions, I expect it should take around 20 minutes to take.
When does it close/when will the results be published?
I will keep it open indefinitely. I'll publish the results when I get a big enough response. I'm aiming for 500 but I have no idea if that's realistic (that's why it would be so difficult if people use a custom answer for every question). I'm doing this by myself so I'll have results posted in a tidy manner as soon as I can. I also haven't done anything like this before so it'll be a learning curve for me to present the information in a legible way. I'm not a trained professional in the field of study and research in any way. I tried to phrase the questions in the least biased manner possible, but I'm sure it's not perfect. Your feedback/criticism is welcome, but I most likely won't edit the survey after it's posted to make data collection more accurate. Emails are not collected and the results are completely anonymous!
400 responses!!
Maybe we can reach 500 by the end of the day?
Only 60 responses left to go!!
Sometimes when I go hundreds pages deep into people’s Tumblr archives, I find really funny posts and I weigh the pros and cons of liking/reblogging them.
Pros: I’ll have access to them later because they’re fucking hilarious
Cons: They might think I’m creepy. Despite the fact that it’s public and on the Internet, it is not socially acceptable to let anyone know the extent that you creeped their archives.
I hereby extend blanket permission for anyone to creep on my archive, and to like and reblog posts from it if they want to. It’s really quite flattering.
“it is not socially acceptable”
Wrong. It is not only acceptable but expected here. Adhere to whatever “etiquette” you will on other sites. Share and be shared here.
Yeah, this isn’t a Tumblr thing. Everyone here loves it when they wake up to 97 notifications and they’re all likes and reblogs from the same person of shit you posted five years ago.
I love it when someone is obviously going through a specific tag of mine.
User that exhibits the actively curious, reblog-spamming, tag-digging behavior is an endangered species that must be preserved at all costs. No seriously I view this kinda stuff as a big, massive, yuuuuuge compliment. Please don’t let this culture die.
Yes, please, come on in here and dig in the depths!

happy "monday is today tuesday is tomorrow" everyone
I think he's a bit confused.
This one's been taking dust in my drawing ideas list for weeks. Ever since the first two RE1-centric mini comics, actually.
ok but imagine if tarot decks existed on Trantor. the major arcana of the officially sanctioned one:
The fool (happens to look like Hari Seldon because Cleons are nothing if not spiteful)
The juggler (Magnifico Giganticus, aka Bobo the Clown)
The high priestess (Demerzel)
The empress (Winoset II, because Cleons are sentimental)
The emperor (Cleon I)
The emperor (Cleon II)
The emperor (Cleon III)
...
29. The emperor (Cleon XXV) 30. The hierophant (some sort of priest) 31. The lovers (just an image of Gossamer Court) 32. The chariot (looks like Brother Dude's hoverbike) 33. Justice (just so happens to look like Cleon) 34. The sage (also just so happens to look like Cleon) 35. Wheel of fortune (the rings around Trantor) 36. Strength (also also happens to look like Cleon, only this time swole and shirtless) 37. The hanged man (a robot sympathizer hanging in the orchard) 38. Death (the ascenscion chamber) 39. Temperance (an image of XVII blowing up Terminus, Cleons have never heard of temperance) 40. The devil (looks like Hari seldon again) 41. The tower (principium tower) 42. The star (the imperial logo) 43. The moon (sure, they'll leave this one) 44. The sun (Trantor presumably orbits a star) 45. Judgement (Cleon doing the twisty hand gesture, obviously these cards all have moving images on them) 46. The world (just Trantor)
DO YOU SEE MY VISION
happy pride month for it/its users, polyamorous people, xenogenders, non-transitioning trans people, and other "weird" identities. btw
the term "phasmid," meaning "stick insect," comes from a latin word meaning "apparition" or "phantom," due to the creatures' ability to hide in plain sight, and then move around and scare people.
the largest phasmids likely remain undiscovered; the longest insect known to science was a phasmid from a species that remains formally unnamed and undescribed, even since being captured for the first time in china in 2014.
a female specimen of the quasi-mythical australian species of gargantuan stick insect was sought by a curator of museum victoria for three years before he encountered one, also in 2014. upon realizing what it was, he says, “I started screaming."
the number of people commenting disco elysium has me questioning what goes on in that game

Happy UMAD week, my page for the RaidLog zine yippee.
Featured Article: The K/S Netfan-Printzine Fan Wars
This week, we’re bringing you a piece of ancient fandom lore with our featured article on The K/S Netfan-Printzine Fan Wars - the clashes between the Kirk/Spock (K/S) print zine community and the online Star Trek fandom.
Print zine fans were authors, readers, and artists who, since Star Trek: TOS was on the air, forged the path in fan fiction writing. Before the internet, letterzines were the only means for fans to have regular and organized discussions with other fans. The K/S fandom, which sprang from the wider print zine community, was highly protective of their works and was adamant on staying out of visible spaces for fear of legal actions from Paramount.
The introduction of Usenet in 1979 ushered in a new generation of Kirk/Spock fans, many of whom were either oblivious to the print zine fandom, neutral towards its existence, or openly dismissive and hostile to these previous fans. The online Star Trek space was also not exclusively for Kirk/Spock fans but included other pairings from Star Trek: TOS, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. For online Trek fans, alt.startrek.creative and alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated were platforms where they could post fanfics without having to conform to traditions or worry about expectations from others.
While the Usernet fan groups grew into lively spaces, Kirk/Spock print zine fans began to feel at a disadvantage in terms of attracting new fans and that their favourite pairing was diluted in this online space. Another point of contention between the two communities was “elitism’’, as zine fans argue that not everyone has access to a computer and the internet, while online fans point out that not everyone wants to pay a yearly fee for letterzines.
The resulting culture clash included turf wars, blacklisting, and blanket statements by fans on both sides who fanned fires fueled by tribal alliances and relationships.
Curious how this epic fandom war went down? Head over to Fanlore!
