this trend of shitting on peer-reviewed academic studies in favor of tweeting āwe already knew this was happeningā is so soul-crushing. not to be an elitist cunt, but we have got to open the schools again. people genuinely seem to have forgotten that their personal lived experience isnāt indicative of the larger population, AND IF IT ISā¦ā¦ then you need researchers to support these assertions from a relevant data pool instead of a blog post from 2013 š

sonce the sports are happening big rn where i live i made a handy chart of all the phrases i use to communicate with my loved ones during these trying times. i thought others might find it useful too
ive discovered you can have whole conversations with people using just these phrases and none will be any the wiser that you dont even know what sport it is theyre talking about
Gotta tell you guys something wild in the Chinese fan sphere
So some fanartist drew a āsexyā (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because itās kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what theyāre into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their āopponentsāā accounts.
So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a childrenās education charity via each sideās portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.
And that is how this charity received over 1 million in donations in three days lol. Oh btw the āfreedom of expressionā side won by a landslide (960k to 40k)

i will never be over the fact that during first contact a human offered their hand to a vulcan and the vulcan was just like āwow humans are fucking wildā and took it
#iiiiiiiiiiiiii mean vulcans had been watching humans for a long time#they knew the significance of a handshake but still#they had to find some fast and loose ambassador#willing to fuckin make out with a human for the sake of not offending them on first contact#lmao#star trek
give me the story of this fast and loose vulcan
āsirā¦theseā¦these humansā¦they greet each other byā¦ā *glances around before furtively whispering* āby clasping handsā¦ā
*prolonged silence*Ā āoh myā¦ā
āsirā¦sir how will we make first contact with them? surely weā¦we cannot refuse this handclasping ritual, they will take it as an insult, but what vulcan would agree to such a distasteful and uncomfortable ritual??ā
*several pensive moments later*Ā ācontact the vulcan high command and tell them to send us kuvak. i once saw that crazy son of a bitch arm wrestle a klingon, heāll put his hands on anythingā
I swear Vulcans only come in two types and they areĀ ādistant xenophobesā orĀ āhorny on main for humanityā. Also apparently this guy is Spockās great-grandfather and frankly that explains everything.
Hey so I looked into this at one point and that handshake literally created a lifelong telepathic bond between the two of them, and basically all of Solkarās descendants were later obsessed with humans, including freaking SPOCK, so Iām not saying that handshake was so gay and good that it created an intergenerational telepathic bond between Solkarās descendants and humans, but Iām also notā¦.notā¦.saying that.
The slow deliberation with which Solkar takes CockraneāsāIām sorry, Cochraneāsāhandā¦ The sheer sensuality witch which Solkar infuses an otherwise borderline impersonal social ritualā¦ It clearly shows a very conscious knowledge, on Solkarās part, of what the significance of the handshake is in Vulcan terms and of how affected he is by it.
Thatās why heās so slow in doing it, andĀ so sensual. A part of Solkar canāt believe this is happening, despite it being a perfectly logical thing to expect from a human, and the rest of him canāt believe how good it is.
I bet that if the camera zoomed in any further we would see the dilation of Solkarās pupils and a quickly-repressed shiver of delight. Cochraneās firm, businesslike clasp is probably (in sexual terms) being perceived as a deliciously carnal display of dominance.
No wonder Solkar is all like,Ā āTAKE ME, YOU WILD-MANNERED BARBARIAN WITH ENTICINGLY ROUGH CALLUSES.ā
#somehow the idea of vulcans being Horny On Main always gives me the giggles#like literally all they had to do#was be like actually#hand contact is very intimate for our species#and im p sure humanity as a whole would not find that insurmountably weird#there are human cultures that dont shake hands#vulcans are logical enough to think that through on their own#so clearly that vulcan was just down to fuck#down to fuck in a public#professional diplomatic situation no less#and he did not fucking care who knew itĀ (via kittykatthetacodemon)

honestly i have to kinda disagree with that post thats like ābeing knightcore doesnt mean pro monarchy just swear ur undying loyalty to ur bff or ur crush or smthā
no. thats not what makes it sexy. either grapple with your beloved masterās role as a symbol of the state or choose to ignore it entirely and remain their loyal hound to whatever end, uncaring of the structures of power which you serve. become naught but a blade, the burden of your choices left to settle in the hand that wields you. itās not about being besties forever itās about OWNERSHIP and DUBIOUS MORALITY and FRANKLY QUESTIONABLE POWER DIFFERENTIALS
I watched the movie "Yossi & Jagger" released in 2002, the film tells about the secret love between two officers.
Captain Yossi leads a company at a snow-covered base, and his platoon commander, nicknamed "Jagger," is his subordinate and secret lover.
Jagger himself, with his facial features, looks very much like Rodney to me at certain points.
This movie is a war drama with a sad ending, but I saw parallels with John and Rodney in the main characters (and because one of them looks like a younger version of McKay). Maybe someday I'll redraw some of the scenes, or after watching this movie, it will inspire someone to write a sad fanfiction about these two, where McKay may not survive, and John will hide his feelings from outsiders, and no one will know what happened between them.
Please forgive me for the obvious spoilers, but overall, I really enjoyed the movie itself.
The film is about the love of two people who love each other where it is deadly dangerous. And this secret makes their relationship really difficult and tender.
stratt and grace and the rest of the phm science team running on 4 cumulative hours of sleep at an unscheduled conference. dimitri and lokken are trying to explain a new complication in the hail mary's fueling system and the resources necessary to iron it out but they keep getting interrupted by government officials butting in until grace (who doesn't even look up from his laptop and checked out of the conversation two days ago) snaps "we raise our hands to speak"
complete silence for like 3 seconds. the french prime minister sheepishly raises his hand and stratt smiles for the first time that week (grace buries his entire face behind his laptop screen for wont of a better option, like jumping straight into the sea)
Click on a button once a day to raise money for Palestine, it takes 5 seconds and it costs nothing.
There are 160 episodes in total, and they will face off in Round 1.
All the double episodes are counted as one episode.
No episode in round one goes against another episode from the same season.
I have tried to make the pairings as random as possibly whilst making sure that episodes from one season will be as equally matched with episodes from the other seasons as possible.
Because the pairings are random, there will be some painful matchups and great episodes will be lost in the early rounds BUT thatās where the wildcards come in.
In Round 2, 80 episodes will face off with each other.
After all the matchups in Round 1 and Round 2 are done, there will be a Wildcard Tournament 1 with the eliminated 120 episodes to select 4 episodes that go on as wildcards in Round 4.
After Round 2, the first round of Wildcard Tournament 1 will be posted, and then the first half of the matches from Round 3 will be posted after that. The second and final round of Wildcard Tournament 1 will be posted, and then the rest of the matches from Round 3 will be posted.
In Round 3, 40 episodes will face off with each other.
In Round 4, 24 episodes will face off with each other. 20 episodes are from Round 3 and 4 episodes are from Wildcard Tournament 1.
After all the matchups in Round 3 and 4 are done, there will be a Wildcard Tournament 2 with the eliminated 32 episodes to select 4 episodes that go on as wildcards in Round 5. This is the last Wildcard tournament, and there will be no more wildcards in Round 5-8 of the tournament.
In Round 5, 12 episodes are from Round 4 and 4 episodes are from Wildcard Tournament 2.
In Round 5-8, 16 episodes will become one.
The tournament brackets will be updated continuously as the results come in.
If any match result ends up being tied, I will choose the winner :)

i think theres this idea in the general public that the "best" fanfic gets turned into real books like 50 shades of grey. but the truth is that the best fanfic can never be published as an actual book because its intricately woven into the canon material so its inseparable even if you change the names
wearing a shirt that says āeven in an au fanfiction, the characters, relationships, or even the scenarios are recognizable in the best fanfic, and an au without ties to the source material may be a fine story but itās not a good fanfictionā and booty shorts that say āI HATE FUNā
who knew putting three hot guys together would be so...hot!
working on chapter nine where they finally all get together. Had to take a breather before I could even finish the chapter. It was too steamy. I'll finish it soon.
