the “sexy lamp test” but for disabled folks: if you can replace your disabled character with a beloved pet dog that needs an expensive surgery to survive then you have to throw out your manuscript 

hi we’re a24 and we loved the ytp you posted when you were 15. do you want to direct the multimillion dollar adaptation of your opus, simpsons gone purple?

Because this looks like a Monet painting or an old watercolour anime background come to life?! I was in utter disbelief until it started moving.

call me a crackpot conspiracy theorist but i dont think its a coincidence that right around the time the us and uk governments were going mask-off transphobic and directly instructing intelligence agencies to treat trans activists as "violent extremists" english speaking social media became flooded w discourse driving a wedge between two of the largest subcomminities of trans ppl, with tons of definitely super real accounts posting shit like "grrr im a trans man and i think whiney feminist trans women should shut their bitch mouths and get back in the kitchen" or "grrrrr i think we should kill all men ESPECIALLY trans men and btw im a totally real trans woman"

im not saying trans ppl are incapable of being transphobic. lots of ppl are assholes and some of those assholes happen to be trans. but if ur constantly focusing on trans ppl like theyre the main driving force of transphobia in society, while cis politicians are actively dismantling our rights, then ur acting like a fed and im gonna treat u like one. we need to stop fighting each other and start fighting together

imagine coming home and your mom found your steampunk clothes and shes just there with her arms crossed

she's holding up a ziplock bag of gears and springs asking you what they're for

My friends, please listen to me and understand what I'm saying. I swear the war here is not over. We still live in fear every single day. Every day we hear the sounds of shelling, and every day innocent people and children are targeted, their only crime being that they were born here. We are not asking for the impossible. We simply want our children to live in safety, to wake up without fear, and to sleep without their homes being shaken by explosions.

If my nephew isn't saved and doesn't get his surgery, he'll be one of the victims of this genocide. I can't bear to lose any more of my family. Please don't let me lose hope in you. We still need 700 euros for my nephew's surgery. Please donate, donate so I don't lose him. Donate! 💔😭

In light of the no.1 trending topic on this site, I'd like to inform youse that Kitty Kendall, one of the survivors who bravely spoke out against Neil Gaiman and accused him of rape in 2025, has said here and here that if you are looking to support her and other survivors, you can make a donation to OurVOICE (the counselling service Kendall herself used) or your local rape crisis centre. If you can't make a donation, you can help to ensure people do not forget what Kendall and other survivors have gone through and continue to go through as they pursue legal action, and that Gaiman has already spent a lot of money in the attempt to sue these women for speaking out.

That was the wrONG GIF

Actually no it still works it’s pretty accurate

every time i hear people talk about how rain and mildly warm temperatures is "awful weather" and temperatures in the thirties with no rain for a week is "nice" i feel like i'm in a particularly fucked-up twilight zone episode
