did you know? some primates have been observed to exhibit "blogging" behavior

don't shave your legs this summer HOLD THE FUCKING LINE

i understand that it's unreasonable to expect a band on world tour to play in every country in the world but i do think they should only be allowed to call it a world tour if they play in every continent. we need to make it embarrassing to say world tour and then not even step foot in africa

that poll is crazy because first of all invoking the idea of "real" reading that is not defined in any way other than "like books or articles" is already invoking an extremely culturally loaded idea: we're taught that reading is good for you, that it inherently instructs and edifies, or if it's fiction that it inherently enriches the brain in some way, compared to "fake" reading which is like "junk food" (another loaded metaphor) and has no benefits to the soul and may even be detrimental. and this quality is conferred not by the strength of the ideas contained within said writing, or by the technical skill of said writing, but by its institutional approval: if it's published, it's "real". this is already the cultural baggage that is being brought to bear by the poll question, that you necessarily have to play along with in order to begin to entertain an answer - in other words, we are being asked if a post can contain the same amount of "value" as one of the kinds of "real" writing described above. notably, we are being asked if it CAN. not if it always or inherently is, but if it CAN. and i would think that the answer would be a resounding "yes", right? if "real" reading is defined by its ability to edify or put forth a complex argument, then people write essays with complex arguments in posts all the time. if "real" reading is defined by challenging the reader, people write challenging posts all the time. and so on and so forth. it bears repeating that right before reblogging that poll i reblogged a post that was a short story. these certainly don't comprise a majority of posts, but they do exist. and yet the overwhelmingly popular opinion is that a post on the internet, by virtue of being written on a platform that doesn't grant institutional literacy, CANNOT (no nuance!) be enriching, edifying, challenging, or any of the qualities ascribed to the cultural idea of "real" reading. not only that, but people who believe differently are being derided in the tags for their lack of intelligence or for being a symptom of social degeneration! (or that they're going to hell which is a very interestinggggg concept to invoke here) that's wild

it's been observed many times before but man it is kind of funny that Americans were so galled about the idea of foreign interference in the presidential election. Fuckkkkkk who would do something like that... Truly shameful behavior what kind of monstrous government would do something like that

under my totalitarian regime being a housewife will not be allowed. you WILL become an accomplished scientist

the among us show being a total gorefest on par with john carpenter's the thing is a really fun choice

the among us show having a gay orgy in the middle of it is another really fun choice

The eye doctor is the most fun doctor you can go to. They never steal your blood. They never make you get naked and put on a paper dress. They're just like, "Can you see these letters? It's fine if you can't, we can fix that." And they don't even spell anything.

Shout-out to aromantic people whose lives are so fucking busy that they periodically forget what day of the week it is. today is Wednesday, June 5th. Happy Aromantic Visibility Day.

how to do things that everyone else seems to do no problem

do u think omegaverse acknowledges covid-19 and the generation of people who permanently lost their sense of smell like how are they all scenting each other now is the omegaverse economy in shambles

actually pheromone sensing works differently from normal olfaction, since humans in our world don’t have a functioning vomeronasal organ (VNO), we don’t have any data on how covid-19 would affect a functioning VNO in omegaverse AUs

OP this is very well-written but im still hung up on how you came onstage dressed as a clown only to tear off the costume and reveal yourself as a biologist
