Just The Home Of An Awkward Gay Nerd

Went to an Oedipus Rex adaption today and my friends were debating whether the Oedipus/Jocasta age gap was problematic. Like guys…I think their relationship has bigger issues

ohhh my god I just fact-checked, Nolan actually DID cut the "Nobody" scene from his Odyssey movie. Mfer that is like cutting the Father reveal from Star Wars. Let me speak in a language you understand this is like not dressing Batman up in his suit. "It was not possible to work it in" the TikTok musical with a budget of $4 and a scratched Hamilton CD managed to work it in in SONG form, step up your FUCKING GAME

This genuinely made me want to not watch it

Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.

InsNe that dishwashers are more efficient and easier than just washing them manually but they also use less water. It’s a win win situation

They ALSO sterilize dishes, due to operating at a far higher temperature than human hands could ever tolerate. It's a win every way.

One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work that’s just. Devastating. Like you’re sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Let’s do it.

I hope young boys see me out and about in my fun ridiculous outfits and go “wait… that’s allowed? I can dress like that?”

enough miserable boys in t-shirts and jeans because that’s all they feel they can wear. wear a colourful cardigan. the world needs your colour and your spirit

I posted this with cis teens in mind but honestly this goes for everyone. dressing the way you want can be so scary but if there’s anything I’ve learned in my years on this planet, it’s so important to just have fun with it. anyone who cares enough to give you a hard time for it is someone who isn’t worth your time. it makes my WEEK when I see someone dressed unusually and delightfully. let that be you!!!!

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?
