everyone stop watch you’re doing and go watch decision to leave. do it for me.

scientists have recently announced that exoplanet HR 3499a is no longer believed to be potentially capable of supporting life, after new spectroscopic readings indicated that it doesn't even have a dishwasher. "i mean, it doesn't even have a fucking dishwasher," said the lead researcher. "I guess you could live there, but, like, would you really want to?"

was waiting for the elevator in the middle of taking out all the trash and a resident came out of her apartment like OH GOOD! maybe i can show you this weird bug that was in my BEDROOM! so i follow her and she gets out a magnifying glass and shows me a dead pillbug on a napkin. im like thats incredible ma'am thank you for letting me use the magnifying glass. she says "i told my creepy kids about the bug and they didn't even call me!" and this sentence is tunneling into my brain so bad theres a physical pressure

my take on the "can trans men be lesbians?" thing is that i would never ever comment on a stranger's identity and i would never tell someone i don't know what they can or can't do but also like. come on. if you're explicitly choosing to be a man you can get mad when women don't want to date you.

if you're going into a space where there are women explicitly saying "I do not want men involved in my romance" and you are actively identifying as a man you cannot get upset when they don't want to date you or are uncomfortable with you being there

i also deeply empathize with every trans femme lesbian who has had to watch her existence debated and been seen as a pervert for loving women see most of the lesbian community go "oh yeah you have a vagina, you have the Unbreakable Woman Bond that means we are connected forever" and get a little frustrated about that

Also: do you think a cis man could be a lesbian without identifying as a woman? if not, and you think trans men can, i think you're just speaking from bioesstentialism and maybe don't really think trans men are fully men in the way cis men are

i'm remembering that trans man/lesbian i knew who was mad the girl he was seeing ID'd as straight its like damn maybe you don't really see yourself as a man.

Also just to clear up any further confusion, cerebrospinal fluid (as the name implies) is contained to just your brain and spinal cord. The rest are protected by mucous

Crazy to think that seagulls existed before french fries.

I think that post about Matt Johnson's ability to talk his way out of anything (by fluidly tailoring the way he speaks to different situations and public appearances, explaining himself with such earnest eloquence, existing as a well-off white guy) is what makes the dirties so compelling. Like, it feels like an evil magic trick in that you are shown and told very clearly that this fictional high schooler is a racist neurotic and misogynistic angry young man who is going to kill people, humanizes him, and then shows him kill people (the prestige!), and that humanization turn wouldn't work without Matt's eye for talking his way, filming his way, out of anything. Also much like his public image I think the trick itself (not a lie, again he's very earnest, but a magic trick) is so impressive and works so well that it sticks with some people in ways where they miss the forest for the trees

dear evan hansen 2021 got so much shit because it's hard to excuse high schooler dear evan's actions when he looks like an adult man, meanwhile matt is walking around looking like an adult man doing far worse and you feel such an insane range of sadness and recognition and disgust and pity watching it- it's amazing
