Error 404, Pen Name Not Found

when you realize that the average abled person does not expect disabled people to exist in public life and therefore never consider that a disabled person might also be in their online/offline communal space and hear/see what they and their friends are both saying about disabled people and entertaining the people who say these things, a lot of the discussion surrounding disability and disability rights in even the most "progressive" spaces makes a lot of sense

i am like the breadloser of the family

thank you for coming to my this #mythis

hi so yeah im trying to find the hotel california and i know i have to take the highway to hell but i accidentally turned left onto the boulevard of broken dreams. i took the first hard right onto the rocky road to dublin cuz i thought it would loop back around but it didnt lol and i know im waaaaaay off course bc i just drove by the house of the rising sun haha. so how many miles until i get to the hotel

500 MILES?!?!?!

this blows i shouldve taken the old town road to where the streets have no name. i cant believe i have to drive 500 miles. wait hang on i have to what.

hallelujah im almost there! i walked across the bridge over troubled water and through the tunnel of love. i can see signs for paradise city which means im not far from funkytown! it’s been a long long time since i was there. anyway i don’t wanna linger here sooooo what do i do after i walk 500 miles

FUCK this. FUCK this and FUCK your hotel. YOU wanna walk on and on and on then you can go your own way but IM heading back to my fast car and getting on the road again. fuuuuuck i’m exhausted and i literally need a place to stay the night and wait wait okay rant cancelled. some guys are telling me there’s no need to feel down 

oh what a night! that sure was fun! but im out in the boonies and still need to get home haha so let’s see. ummmm i left my car on penny lane after i got in a teensy little accident (you will not believe what i was struck by). the car is fine fortunately! it’s just farms around here tho so like i don’t rlly know how the hell im gonna get back to my house but WHOAAAAA wait yeah. that’ll do it. guys i just remembered something really great about country roads 

Honestly i think it’s good you didn’t find the hotel california because i heard that even though you can check in any time you like you can actually never leave???? AND they don’t even have wine??? Since like 1969???

i like when a piece of media says that an all-powerful character "sees humans as insects" because that really could mean a lot of things. maybe they view us as insignifigant and will squish us under their boot. maybe theyre actually studying and cataloguing us for their thesis paper. maybe theyre campaigning for human protection because we're an important part of their ecosystem. maybe they see a human and go "ew ew ewwwwww someone get the cup and get that FREAK out of my house." .

I don’t think we’re rick rolling each other enough anymore. 1. it CANNOT die out 2. this under saturated market is perfect for unsuspecting victims who’ve been lulled into a false sense of security. be the person you hate. bring back the dastardly link

someone actually studied the falling Rick Roll rate for their Ph.D dissertation recently and published the paper

okay but this made me wonder if there was actually any academic literature on rickrolling and YES THERE IS this is a paper about rickrolling WITHIN academic literature. As in, studies that attempt to rickroll the people reading them. Best part is no one is going to believe me and click that link even though it’s 100% true.

My friend's book is mentioned in this paper!!

There is no earthy way of convincing anyone that the rickroll study link is real. But for what it's worth. It is

I have a new goal in my almost-finished PhD dissertation.

Second link's good guys, truly

Teaboot's right, there is basically nothing on earth that could convince me to click the second link. I genuinely believe it might be real, but i'm not touching it.

Legit i clicked on it fully expecting a rickroll and i was extremely pleasantly surprised.

The 'ingredients you can pronounce means it's healthy' line implies a world in which the kind of nutrition a person requires scales with their biology education and grasp of phonics. Which isn't true, of course, but sure would imply some interesting worldbuilding if it were

everyone's always complaining about how hard it is to deal with teenagers as an educator but at least teens generally tend to listen when you tell them not to terrorize an aquarium animal. little kids want to grab a funny sea pancake so bad and will furiously splash the water until they get to. and then i gently but firmly remind them not to do that and they go huh... wonder who that crazy lady with the mic is talking to... splashasplashasplashasplash

like yes it's a total bummer when you're trying to teach some biology fun facts to a 17 y/o in a hoodie who seems to have perfected a vulcanlike emotional placidity but it's always the kindergarteners who decide it's their true heart's wish to break into a sprint directly towards a free-roaming african spoonbill

Honestly I think the compulsion to describe things about your own original characters as "a headcanon", silly as it sounds and incorrect as it is, makes complete sense when you understand it as "this is a thing that is true about this character to me that I want to tell people about but do not currently intend to include in any actual published narrative about the character."

It probably is kind of fun to be a parent bird and find big fat bugs to put in your child’s goalpost mouth. And the more you do it the larger your baby gets, which shows your progress. Mine is reaally big, think I’m going to get a high score this time. It has a unique skin too, I’ve never even seen this one before. Has anyone gotten that one, dark brown and white belly with stripes? It’s not even in my Wrenpedia, it has to be a really special unlock

actually once you do vote by mail once, it feels STUPID that in-person voting is even a thing. getting to sit with your ballot in your house, easily see your options, have time to do research and consider your choice, talk with friends and neighbors about their vote. it's especially so for small local elections and primaries where you might not have heard about different candidates and really have to ask around, attend local events, or dig into local news stories to find out who they are and what they stand for. but, of course, not allowing voters to easily research and carefully consider their votes is why there is opposition to vote by mail in the first place.

Extend early voting periods! In some states it’s very short. I’m very sick of the “everything on Election Day” stuff. I am an early voter almost every time
