Every day Miles Naismith Vorkosigan wakes up and asks the universe "What if?" And, every day, the universe answers "Horrors beyond your feeble mind's imagination." Unfortunately, instead of taking that response and moving on, he consistently decides to flip off the aforementioned ethereal power and go do it anyway. I do not know how this guy is still alive

You would beg for death that never comes.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

that is stalking

its stalking when it happens to children also btw

My mom has told me about this video multiple times. It seems to define parenting for her. I get it now.

Weeeeee

sometimes a song is good because you saw it on a fan edit for your favorite ship like ten years ago
