welp. to the shredder

By this point Loch Ness is probably the inland body of water we can be most sure doesn't have a monster in it.

Being anti-death penalty is literally the easiest stance ever. People just say "but should the state kill THIS type of person?" and you just say "no". Not killing people is so fucking easy actually

I have reblogged this before, but since then I've listened to the excellent Criminal episode "The Job", where a prison superintendent is asked to write the manual on execution for the state of Oregon. The journey he takes from being staunchly in support to opposed to the death penalty is sensitively told and really worth a listen or read.

Translator? Why not trans now?

My parents just read this post aloud to me and asked me if I’d seen it. I don’t know how to react.

years later still thinking about the time i was being interviewed for a judicial clerkship and the judge asked me what i do in my free time and being a student i was like uh idk videogames and this very old very venerable respected jurist looked at me over his little glasses and said quote "oh, what kind? I love Dark Souls."

lucky fishies!

one of my favorite bits in lord of the rings is something the movies didn't really try to do because it's entirely internal, but sam's carrying the ring and it starts trying to do its work on him, so he's having these intrusive visions of himself marching at the head of a vast and terrible army, and he just starts laughing because, me? samwise gamgee? sam gamgee the general sam gamgee the dark lord are you for real? man i just want to go home and do some gardening. and the ring gets frustrated and it starts trying to figure out other stuff that would actually tempt sam and it's finally like, okay, but hear me out: imagine if you could have...A REALLY REALLY BIG GARDEN

and then he's like, i don't know that sounds like a lot more work than a regular garden actually. why don't we just get on with finding mister frodo

This sounds like a shitpost but people should be allowed to be horny. As in, sexuality is just part of life for most people and there’s no reason for consensual sexual behavior to be punished. A celebrity getting “caught” at a sex club shouldn’t be a scandal. No one should be fired for having a fetlife profile outside of work. Nudes getting leaked shouldn’t be career-ending. Denying and hiding (consensual) sexual interests doesn’t make anyone more professional, it just makes everyone more repressed. And sterilizing ourselves to be better work drones isn’t productive, it’s just creepy. I’d rather my surgeon get absolutely railed on camera and come to work in a good mood, frankly.

the amount of ace, aroace, + sex-repulsed ppl leaving support on this post is rly heartwarming

also this goes without saying but is also true of ppl who do sex work for used to do sex work. an accountant’s boss finding out that they used to do sex work shouldn’t be a career ender. a restaurant worker shouldn’t be fired bc they have an OnlyFans.

Yes, yes, yes and yes.

#also like we hear one of the band members going ''is that our neighbor?'' after he burst into their rehearsal #like they KNOW who he is #he didn't leave candy out on the stoop #he grabbed the bucket and opened the door and was fully prepared to give candy out despite his turmoil #it just so happened that well. the children weren't in typical halloween costumes #but somehow were tailored to his current fears and struggles #like if they were dressed up as like a cowboy or alien or whatever he'd probably have been nicer #probably

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.
