Moonlight is the Messenger of Love

"Sex is what makes us human" is stupid. Almost every species fucks. Humans are the only species that jumps motorcycles over school buses that are on fire. Some other things too probably

Writing isn't the hobby. Being insane about little fake people is the hobby. Writing is just the only outlet i have for that

im from an alternate universe but not a cool interesting one, the only difference is that a natural third option when asking if you'd like something to drink other than coffee and tea is instant soup in a cup

Coffee Shop AU is not as popular as Soup Store AU there

makes sense, there's more options; the only thing to do in a coffee shop is buy coffee, but in a soup store you could also buy clothes

the penguin random house website currently has a banner playfully 🦦 offering the wait hang on. what was that. my phone's keyboard automatically suggests and emoji of the frolicsome sea otter when I type out the word "playful" 🦦🦦🦦... oh what joy. this has entirely made up for the fact that the villains at penguin random house are luring the unwary into a "quiz" that claims it will tell you what book to read next but ends not in a delightful literary recommendation but rather a request for one's email in order to receive book recommendations. vile behavior! most unsporting! and yet. I am at peace with my playful 🦦🦦🦦 otters

Maria Skłodowska-Curie's notebooks are crazy once you think about it. They're so radioactive they have to be sealed in a lead box. Imagine a world where atomic theory is forgotten and a dude just goes "yea there's a book that details the secrets of the universe, the machinations of the creation of existence down to its barest essentials, but if you get close to it you fucking die. The more you read it the more your body slowly disassembles into mush." like wat excuse me

my scheming knights and nobles have been short on taxes for a whole year. They told me that all the taxes they are due are apparently in a small village called "Updog". I shall go there post haste to collect my rightful due grains and gold.

the torments of prison are predicated on Not Letting You Leave. the most terrifying and degrading aspects of childhood are predicated on Not Letting You Leave. misogynists wail and moan and fearmonger about divorce and equal opportunity employment because they Allow Wife To Leave. borders and immigration restrictions exist, in no small part, to Prevent People From Leaving countries where they will be exploited and/or oppressed. fuck you for trying to leave. fuck you for exerting any control over your life whatsoever. that makes you the one at fault, actually.

david graeber described three fundamental freedoms: freedom to move, freedom to disobey orders, and freedom to reorganize social relations

Guys can we please stop with the whole “frog-pig hybrid” when talking about Muppets Christmas Carol. Tiny Tim isn’t a frog-pig hybrid. The muppets are putting on a theatre production of Christmas Carol and Tiny Tim is being played by Kermit’s nephew Robin, who is a frog. Yes, for realism they could have hired a frog-pig hybrid. But they didn’t and that’s okay because Robin did amazing in his role.

Now Scooter, on the other hand, IS canonically a nepo baby.
