Munchkin

sometimes you start reading a fic and immediately you’re like OH this was written by a child. okay. please know that i am proud of you but also i cannot keep reading this

“this kid is in eighth grade, and their teacher just told them that using ‘said’ is bad, so they’re plumbing the depths of the dictionary for every single other dialogue tag that exists - and some that don’t - and I’m proud of them for expanding their vocabulary, but I must depart all the same”

Part of me is really excited to see that the original post got 200 notes because holy crap 200 notes, and part of me is really saddened that something so negative has resonated with so many people.

The mattress CEO interviewed in Robert Reich’s documentary Inequality for All described it as something like “I own pretty much the best bed money can buy. If I double my money, am I going to buy another one? If I eat exactly what I want every day, will doubling my money make me eat twice as much? Of course not, the money ends up stashed away by people I pay to manage it. I literally make more money than I can spend. I used to believe in trickle-down economics, but I can see now that the money isn’t going anywhere. The 1% does not power the economy, it’s the middle-class that does. And it’s shrinking.”

actually, yes, i do think it’s time to stop putting sexism and racism in your high fantasy books

so I just cried my way thru tony’s last episode what the fuck it was actually genuinely very sweet and tender and good???

Uuuuuugh am I going to be able to survive it?! 😭

utilising the gift of imagination to hallucinate moments of tenderness between fictional people

IS THAT EVEN A FUCKING SONG!?!?!?!?!?!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! @biavanne !!!!!!!!!

The boys at NASA sure knew how to have fun on the job.

I love space nerds

I hate the fact that many people think that scientists are dull people with no sense of humor or love for cultural things. I mean look at this. Please stop the prejudices.

#‘i don’t care how many holy symbols were at the met gala anne hathaway was supposed to be there and i haven’t seen her in 250 years

during one of his portland shows, he noticed this like 7 year old girl in the front row and asked her (and her parents) if she ‘is aware that she is physically here right now’ or if she was just brought along. turns out her favorite john mulaney bit is the “and I’m new in town” bit and that she’s seen all his stuff. He was so shocked and discomforted by the fact a SEVEN YEAR OLD has seen his shows, that he couldn’t get through a bit about donating to charity without interrupting himself at least three times to import good life lessons on this small child, as if that makes up for all the horrible things he’s said that she heard

ah so john mulaney is a chaotic neutral cryptid

i saw him last night and there was a good ten minute interlude where a woman told him everything she found wrong with his suit, including that his pants were too high waisted to which he replied “that’s where my hips are” and someone in the back shouted “look at that high waisted man he’s got feminine hips!” and he yelled back “that’s my joke! i’m offended!!”

full offense but we will rock you by queen is 10000% a gay rights anthem and straight people dont have any rights to the song sorry :/

Y'all big mad in the notes

Actually every song by Queen is a lgbt anthem

Don’t Stop Me Now is the bisexual anthem to end all bisexual anthems and you will not change my mind

Heteros are really pressed in the notes keep reblogging this

never do something steve rogers wouldn’t do.

Unless it’s jumping out of a plane without a parachute, you probably shouldn’t do that

I just have to add - I’ve seen interviews with Marvel people where they say that this scene demonstrates that Cap’s awkward with women and doesn’t know how to ask women out on a date.  And it drives me crazy, because - as the OP says - Steve behaved perfectly here.  It was a very charming, nonthreatening offer, and he accepted her rejection with good grace.  You can’t help but feel that to Hollywood, the fact that she said no means he asked badly - which is exactly how I’d expect Hollywood to think, namely, the idea that men should keep pressing and pushing women until they say yes

Read this, then read it again.

I say things like “I’m not interested in sports” I really have to give a caveat to explain I really mean “sportsball”, those mass media team sporting events that lead to white privilege riots and fill the pockets of millionaires and billionaires. Because this? This is incredible, just the athleticism, what bodies can do, female, male, young or adult, differently abled…just awesome.

^^^^

One of the great things about this video is that, because these feats require different skills, there’s a diversity of body types.  There are people in there who, if you saw them on the street, would “read” as less athletic.  And yet, all of these bodies are able to perform incredible acts.

Reblogging again because this is the most inspirational video I’ve ever seen

Sometimes I just ignore anon hate because theres a proverb I learnt in a Nigerian movie that said. ‘You cannot run naked after a mad man in the street after he has taken your clothes away from you because the public will not know who is the mad person between the two of you’

I feel like this proverb was based on firsthand experience.

…where’s the lie?

This is a legitimate theory on how to improve the economy of any country. Seriously, give money to people, lots of poor people, and watch them spend it. Every thing they spend it on comes with sales tax, and it helps businesses, who pay corporate taxes, and the government makes money back. Repeat. A lot. But you have to ditch the moral outrage against handouts to poor people. And that’s the sticking point in the US and the UK and probably lots of other places too.
