Exit, pursued by a trilobite.

One time I came home from uni very upset and my younger siblings asked what's wrong. I said that mutated flies in our lab escaped because someone broke their jar. I didn't even realise how scary it sounded to them until I saw their faces lmao. I was upset because we were short on said flies (they don't reproduce very well) and my siblings thought that some crazy radioactive fly monsters escaped and we are all fucked now. Love being a mad scientist in their eyes lowkey

what will piss me off until the day I die is the fact that if trump can change this much of America entirely for the worse, then there was never anything stopping any other president from changing it that much for the better, they just never actually wanted to.

[Sighs in "the president only signs legislation into law and issues EOs, what you want is a progressive and competent CONGRESS paired with a progressive president"] [sighs even louder in "the Biden admin's legislation would have had a monumental impact on millions of people had Trump not immediately canceled everything"]

The desire for an executive that overrides the constitutional boundaries of the role is what got us trump, actually

unless its egregious, i'm not embarrassed to be fooled by ai. "oh i got lied to via something made by the Lying Machine the machine we made to Lie really well" like it's gonna happen it's no egg on your face. just be chill about it

don't get me wrong. it's always devastating always humbling. no one wants to fall for the lying machine it just sounds bad. but you can't dwell

do you ever tell people you’ll be going to sleep but then you don’t and you have to not do anything noticable online for the sake of it seeming as if you didn’t lie to them

this post is classic tumblr in a lot of ways but the one I appreciate the most is that the second post happened eleven years after the first one. one of these days I’m going to see a reply to a post by someone younger than the post itself and we’re all just going to have to deal with it

deepen the shadows bro. it'll be ok

i meant art-wise but if any dark sorcerers see this. you do you

for all the era-typical flaws in how ds9 presents homosexuality, I really appreciate that the actors and the crew lean into queerness even when they're not allowed to say it's name. I love that Garak and Bashir openly and shamelessly yearn for one another. I love that Quark is so obviously attracted to men and women – to Pel, even before the reveal, to Odo, to Natima Lang, to Grilka. I love Kira's deeply closeted lesbian ass being obviously head over heels for Dax, the Obrien's third, and ultimately partnered up with a literally fluid man. I love the obvious homoerotic undertones to Ben and Curzon's relationship that extends to his relationship with Jadzia – I love Jadzia! She's a woman, she's a man, she's a worm! I love the trans undertones for both Bashir and Dax. the queerness is so deeply knit into the very fabric of the show, it's so good, it's so healing in the strangest way. I need it. I love it. I'm grateful for it

I hate when people ask me how long it took me to crochet something I’ve made. Frankly, that’s none of my business. I put the yarn on the hook and worked on it whenever the spirit happened to take me to and then one day it was done. How long that process took is between the yarn and god; I want no part of it.

Me, the yarn and the total cost of the yarn
