Nico: I want to upgrade my depression to the one that makes joke out of everything and sends Medusa heads to the gods instead of the one that makes you believe that being a begonia is a great option.

itâs like i always say: fuck
mother earth is literally committing suicide right now and y'all still think climate change is a hoax
It ainât suicide. Sheâll live on after this, sheâs just killing all of us off.
thank God. I wholeheartedly support her decision
sheâs detoxing
me, circa early 1800s, paying a stable boy a few coppers to ride overnight to deliver you an urgent letter with a thick wax seal that after you struggle to break it just says âbitch!â in tiny little writingÂ
The fact that I am not singing ABBA on a Greek Island wearing a Boho Chic orange skirt, platform heels, and a floppy hat while the world falls in love with me is criminal.
I love tumblr. Why? Because I can be horny or depressed in peace.
and everyone else scroll by like âshit me tooâ

#[40S COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCER VOICE] WHATâS BETTER THAN THIS? GALS BEING PALS
Fun fact: Though being gay in the 40s sucked, being gay in the military was easier, and pretty common. There were apparently, at one point in time time so many lesbians in the military that when they tried to crack down on it, the girls wrote back and said âLook I can give you the names, but youâll lose some of your best officers, and half your nurses and secretaries.â And they pretty much shut up about it unless you were especially bad at subtlety. (Source: Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers. A good source for gay history from 1900s onwards.)
Sergeant Phelps worked for General Eisenhower. Four decades after Eisenhower had defeated the Axis powers, Phelps recalled an extraordinary event. One day the general told her, âIâm giving you an order to ferret those lesbians out.â Weâre going to get rid of them.â
âI looked at him and then I looked at his secretary. who was standing next to me, and I said, âWell, sir, if the general pleases, sir, Iâll be happy to do this investigation for you. But you have to know that the first name on the list will be mine.â
âAnd he kind of was taken aback a bit. And then this woman standing next to me said, âSir, if the general pleases, you must be aware that Sergeant Phelpsâs name may be second, but mine will be first.â
âThen I looked at him, and I said, âSir, youâre right. Theyâre lesbians in the WAC battalion. And if the general is prepared to replace all the file clerks, all the section commanders, all of the driversâevery woman in the WAC detachmentâand there were about nine hundred and eighty something of usâthen Iâll be happy to make the list. But I think the general should be aware that among those women are the most highly decorated women in the war. There have been no cases of illegal pregnancies. There have been no cases of AWOL. There have been no cases of misconduct. And as a matter of fact, every six months since weâve been here, sir, the general has awarded us a commendation for meritorious service.â
âAnd he said, âForget the order.â

Iâve reblogged this before but it didnât have these comments and HOLY HOT DAMN DID IT NEED THEM.
So, when someone sits down to write a fiction about Women commandos, and a Dudebro steps in to say âHuh, that is so unrealistic huh.âÂ
Harold⌠oh, HaroldâŚsit down, shut up, and stay out of our way.
History is infinitely gayer than a lot of people want to admit <3
Coraline is a masterfully made film, an amazing piece of art that i would never ever ever show to a child oh my god are you kidding me
Nothing wrong with a good dose of sheer terror at a young age
âIt was a story, I learned when people began to read it, that children experienced as an adventure, but which gave adults nightmares. Itâs the strangest book Iâve writtenâ
-Neil Gaiman on Coraline
@nightlovechild
This is a legit psychology phenomenon tho like thereâs a stop motion version of Alice and Wonderland that adults find viscerally horrifying, but children think is nbd. Itâs like in that âtoy storyâ period of development kids are all kind of high key convinced that their stuffed animals lead secret lives when theyâre not looking and that theyâre sleeping on top of a child-eating monster every night so they see a movie like Coraline and are just like âAh, yes. A validation of my normal everyday worldview. Same thing happened to me last Tuesday night. I told mommy and she just smiled and nodded.â
Stephen King had this whole spiel i found really interesting about this phenomenon about how kids have like their own culture and their own literally a different way of viewing and interpreting the world with its own rules thatâs like secret and removed from adult culture and that you just kinda forget ever existed as you grow up itâs apparently why he writes about kids so much
An open-ended puzzle often gives parents math anxiety while their kids just happily play with it, explore, and learn. Iâve seen it so many times in math circles. We warn folks about it.
Neil Gaiman also said that the difference in reactions stems from the fact in âCoralineâ adults see a child in danger - while children see themselves facing danger and winning
i never saw so much push back from adults towards YA literature as when middle aged women started reading The Hunger Games. They were horrified that kids would be given such harsh stories, and I kept trying to point out the NECESSITY of confronting these hard issues in a safe fictional environment.
Also, in an interview, he said that Coraline was partially based on a story his not yet 6 year old daughter would tell himÂ
SAGAL: No. I mean, for example, your incredibly successful young adult novel âCoralineâ is about a young girl in house in which thereâs a hole in the wall that leads to a very mysterious and very evil world. So when you were a kid, is that what you imagined?
GAIMAN: When I was a kid, we actually lived in a house that had been divided in two at one point, which meant that one room in our house opened up onto a brick wall. And I was convinced all I had to do was just open it the right way and it wouldnât be a brick wall. So Iâd sidle over to the door and Iâd pull it open.
(SOUNDBITE OF LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Right.
GAIMAN: And it was always a brick wall.
SAGAL: Right.
GAIMAN: But it was one of those things that as I grew older, I carried it with me and I thought, I want to send somebody through that door. And when I came to write a story for my daughter Holly, at the time she was a 4 or 5-year-old girl. Sheâd come home from nursery. Sheâd seen me writing all day. So sheâd come and climb on my lap and dictate stories to me. And itâd always be about small girls named Holly.
SAGAL: Right.
GAIMAN: Who would come home to normally find their mother had been kidnapped by a witch and replaced by evil people who wanted to kill her and sheâd have to go off and escape. And I thought, great, what a fun kid.
âFairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon.â - G. K. Chesterton
Being a child is fucking horrifying: 2/10 would not do again.
