I see your “romantic relationships shouldn’t be more important than platonic relationships” and raise you “romantic relationships shouldn’t be rooted in anything but strong, healthy, and mutually rewarding friendships anyways”

i haven’t stopped seeing notes for this since I posted it and I just wanna reiterate: it’s really important that you don’t get romantically involved with people you can’t be friends with. Separating a romantic relationship from a platonic context is unhealthy. Your romantic partner/s should always be your friend/s.

The Sims ended up with same-sex relationship support thanks almost entirely to gay programmer Patrick J. Barrett III.

“At the time, it wasn’t considered ‘normal’ to be gay or lesbian,” [Barrett] said. “Some even saw it as dangerous. But in The Sims it was normal and safe to be a gay person. It was the first time we could play a game and be free to see ourselves represented within. It was a magical moment when my first same-sex Sims coupled kissed. I still sometimes wonder how in the world I got away with it.”

A HERO

i LOVE BEING IN BED !!!!!! i love being all cuddly and warm and curling up into a ball and feeling tiny !!!!! this is what life’s about !!!!!!!!!!!

Finding out Bo Burnham is 6'5" and not like 5'11" has absolutely killed me today. The concept of some Goliath twink pacing around a stage yelling absurdities and throwing glitter is triggering my fight or flight response

I’m sorry HE’S WHAT NOW??

It’s like hosier all over again

… what did we find out about Hozier?

… Hozier is just one man? I thought it was a band…

Making all kinds of discoveries on this post

I love little foreign confusion things like this

we’re still throwing pounds of butter in shit just using more wrappers

I worked with toddlers and pre schoolers for three years. Sometimes I accidentally slip and tell a friend to say bye to an inanimate object (“say bye bus!”) & occasionally they unthinkingly just do it.

I’m glad there’s a teacher version of “accidentally called teacher ‘mom’”

when I worked at Medieval Times occasionally I would slip in real life and call people “my lord”

poor old granny scorpion-shoes. no one ever saw her death coming

it was pneumonia.

yes, her pet scorpion pneumonia, who lived in her shoe. tragic.

he shot her point blank

this reads like a Monty Python sketch

God, Tolkien naming his book “The Hobbit” was such a big dick move. Like, back then people didn’t know what a hobbit was. It’d be like if I released a book called “The Smarple” and 50 years later everyone just knew what a smarple was.

I think a big part of the reason I love cryptids is that they’re literally the only subgenre of conspiracy theories where you can be reasonably assured it isn’t secretly about hating Jews. Like, when people talk about aliens or lizard people or sinister banking cabals, at least 80% of the time when you look up the foundational literature it’s a bunch of Antisemitic rot and “lizard people” is just a codephrase for “Jews”, but there are very few neo-Fascist whackjobs out there claiming that Bigfoot is Jewish.

Mothman is Jewish, I went to his Bar Mitzvah

women love it when you replace every board of a ship with a new board, raising philosophical questions about whether it remains the same ship

do i wanna know??? no. but thank u monkey friends

may 2019 bring you your “i’m doing better than i ever was” moment

Why only may?

Wait never mind I’m fucking dumb

The carvings at Abydos aren’t modern machines but recarvings over old carvings. Sure they look like them but if you can read hieroglyphs and know that Ramesses II will even usurp the carvings of his own father just to be a little shit

Yes, the bust of Nefertiti is genuine and was not a 19th century German hoax. It’s real. That’s her face.

The police pull my lifeless body from a lake but I’m wearing the funniest hat they’ve ever seen and they can’t stop laughing and keep dropping me back into the water
