i can’t believe, 14 years later, we are presented with the greatest Bushism ever realized

I think like, the death of Vine and Rabbit, Wikipedia constantly needing to beg for money, Discord depending so heavily on venture capital, Facebook turning towards spying on users to generate a return on all the venture capital that got them started, Adobe creative suite turning into a subscription rather than a single product you buy, the strangulation of streaming entertainment as every company pulls their content and makes it exclusive to their service, are all great examples of how like, it really doesn’t matter if something is legitimately useful, efficient, or beloved, it is next to impossible for a service to exist if it doesn’t make shareholders increasing amounts of money year after year. Which may seem like a “no duh” type of statement, but it’s a very simple window into how the profit motive makes products and services worse, not better. And how that’s not just a matter of certain companies or ceos being bad and greedy on an individual level, but is an inescapable factor of an economy where existence is dependent on generating capital.

the catboys i signed for my all-catboy baseball team dont know what baseball is and theyre actively loudly sobbing whenever they miss a swing and whenever they dive to catch a ball it bonks them on the head and they go "uweh" and our pitcher closes his eyes whenever he throws because hes scared and we're beating every other team in the league

you know who would serve absolute cunt at the met gala? megamind.

it honestly is super upsetting that queer is just what you’re going to be called nomatter how hard you try and how far you run.

it’s about people addressing “the queer community” and “queers” and it’s about hearing someone describe a person they know as “obviously queer” and thinking oh i could easily be that person that’s what they think of me. it doesn’t matter what i do or say you will always put that label on me without my permission. as much as i just want to make it easy and give up and roll over i can’t because it’ll never feel like anything but a label i’ve been forced to use. do not call me a fucking queer that is not what i am

though I still love Chronicles of Narnia the older I get and the more I learn the clearer it becomes to me why it would have driven Tolkien completely insane

The Santa part almost ruined their friendship

Tolkein is the nerd that complains that characters’ costumes and weapons are impractical and Lewis is the nerd that thinks the designs fuck

Girl that butt is like an ass

It’s important that everyone understand that, when I say that I “like” a villainous character, what I in fact mean is that I consider them to be both cool and morally praiseworthy, as well as correct in their aims and methods and worthy of emulation by people in the real world. Just in case there was any ambiguity on this point.

I further elaborate that I consider them to be An Excellent Role-Model for Impressionable Children.

I almost neglected to mention that they are a worthy sexual partner and that I am aroused by everything that they do.
