Yes! More bathtubs should work the way bathtubs did when we were, like, 12. But at the size we are as adults.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH YAAYYYY
to fight my artblock i decided to redraw some gerard p donelan comics as ds9. but once i started i could not stop....
so heres all deep space 9 of them. lol. again the poses and captions are lifted straight from his comics all i did was put space guys on there! please enjoy
(id in alt text btw!)
thing I didn't add to the literary criticism terms list but I also see and think about a lot, I just don't have a great name for yet: the thing when sci-fi archaeologists go to a sci-fi planet and there are the ruins of a civilization where everyone has been dead for 10,000 or 50,000 or 1 million years or whatever. No survivors, no descendant communities, no one else living here anymore, just empty ruins. And because everyone is completely and thoroughly dead and gone, only the (usually human) discoverers are left to put together the pieces of what this once-great civilization was like. It's not really the same thing as Big Dumb Object sci-fi, it's very much framed archaeologically: planetbound ruins, artifacts, remnants, ancient scripts. And it's a clean break from the past to the present, no continuity. The protagonists now know this society better than anyone else, because there's no one from this society left to know it. And due to this, they kind of get the authority to make declarations about it, about how to interpret it or what's worth preserving from it.
On the one hand it makes sense because space is the place where you can get the timescales to meaningfully do this. Species that arose and went extinct long before humanity even existed - yeah you can imagine those in space. The speculative appeal is strong. On the other hand, this is not how archaeology works anywhere on Earth. There are always people there no matter where you're digging, and USUALLY they will have some connection to the stuff being dug up. The actual on-the-ground politics of that relationship are very different where you go in the world, but anywhere there used to be people there still are people. And that is almost never true in sci-fi archaeology. And obviously sci-fi allows us to speculate, but it's the pattern you see again and again. No one's interested in speculating an alien archaeological site where those aliens' descendants or anyone related to them are still around in any meaningful capacity. In sci-fi, descendant communities just do not exist. Everybody Died. This place now belongs to no one anymore, except the archaeologists.
That's why I've been calling this trope Extraterra Nullius but that doesn't quite evoke the idea I'm getting at because I'm specifically interested in how it's being done in relation to archaeology.
obsessed with this sidebar i found in a christain scripture website article about the timeline of the bible's construction
This is my new favorite meme.
@jewishmuppet #whatever the reasons, the showrunners decided not to include my fanfiction in their show
My favorite @farbordertown
Oy.
For whatever reason, the Christians decided not to include the Rabbinic commentary as an integral part of their canon.
"I sure wish women came with operating manuals" ......GIRL WHATTTTT
I sure wish toxic masculinity didn't come with the inability to treat women as human beings, to the point that you thought of them as things to be operated, Kou. Barrayarans!

Doom literally could NOT comprehend what the kid just said.
"Why is this urchin not working in the mines, harvesting rare metals to construct Doom Bots to use against Accursed Richards????"
Is the next panel just that kid turned into a pile of charred flesh?
Strong possibility O_O;
That kid is Franklin Richards, part time demi-god and full time moppet. Doom is many things, but is not an idiot, and pissing off a nigh-omnipotent five year old (Who he realises has been five years old for a very, VERY long time) is rarely a good idea.
Franklin "Ash Ketchum" Richards XD
"Here's me at Kitty Pryde's fourteenth birthday party
And here's her at my fifth birthday party that year"
"Awwwww"
"And here's me at her fifteenth birthday party
And here's her at my fifth birthday party that year"
"Wait what"
"And here's me at Kitty Pryde's eighteenth birthday party
She came to my fifth birthday party that year!"
"What the fuck is happening right now"
What do we say when things like this happen?
"It's very good that Franklin Richards did that!"
Testosterone & Your Singing Voice
greetings, fellow kids! perhaps you are trans? perhaps you are considering hormones? perhaps you have concerns?
perhaps you are scared fucking shitless that your singing voice will be ruined and destroyed forever and everything that is worthwhile about you will be destroyed with it and you will never be able to make music again?
me too!
so I took all that terror and I turned it into art, because what else are you going to do when you sacrifice your only beautiful thing in exchange for your life?
Here is me, four months ago, taking my first dose of testosterone. Yes, it is my real first dose of testosterone. Yes, I had to do this in one take.
Notice that my voice was good. I mean, it was really fucking good. I never did anything with it except school plays and campfire singing, but it was a really good instrument that I could have done something with, you get me?
Only, I hadn’t done anything with it, and I finally figured I was too old and unskilled and unfeminine to ever be the next Broadway star, so I broke it.
Which was, in a distant but meaningful way, partly because of Hamilton. And one month in, I could still sing Eliza’s part:
But that was only a month in, and my voice hadn’t really started to change yet. That was obviously not going to last. Here’s me after two months:
Still got some of those high notes! But they’re starting to get a bit creaky and unreliable, and I’ve got a whole extra octave down the bottom I’m not used to.
Three months in, I definitely couldn’t do Eliza. That turned out to be absolutely OK, because I could do Javert.
hey you know what my voice sounds pretty fucking good there. it’s not the same voice I had when I started but I still sound like me, you know? I’m still learning the new instrument, it’s not really finished yet, but I haven’t gone all the way back to a kid with his first recorder. I still sound like an adult who kinda knows how to sing.
The difference between Eliza and Washington turns out to be about four months.
Stay tuned, kids. This is not my final form.
And then I did Hades! Only I did shift it up by a little bit because I am not totally comfortable in the lowest notes yet, but they are notes in my range that I’m unsteady with, rather than notes I can’t hit, if you see the difference?
hey now hey now look at this we’re all up the Sondheim:
hello. you are here because I told you it was not too late for hrt. it is not too late for hrt and you can sing the whole time you’re changing.

Every time an author reassures readers that the smut is skippable I sigh a disappointed sigh. This is not a reassurance. Why would anybody who likes smut want to read smut that was only included as an afterthought and has no impact on the narrative? Insulting. Just don't write it at all if you're not going to make it matter.
#on the one hand I understand that some people don’t want to read smut
Like 85% of tumblr users hate and loathe embarrassment based comedy with every fiber of their beings, but never in my life have I ever seen an author reassure their audience that the embarrassing scenes are skippable.
Lots of people dislike tragedy but never in my life have I ever seen an author reassure the audience that the death and grieving scenes are skippable.
Stop trying to pass off self-censorship as “accommodation.” Stop trying to pass off pandering as “inclusivity.”
Your audience can smell your fear, and it smells rancid.
nobody else doing it like me. particularly because the way i’m doing it is needlessly difficult

It amuses me so much that in an episode of SG1, John told Mitchell that he always had a lemon in his pocket to scare McKay
It's just a comfort to know it's there.
stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.
