honestly my favorite line from “Uptown Funk” is definitely “make a dragon wanna retire, man” because that’s honestly such a great mental image. an elderly, tired dragon taking a look at Bruno Mars and going “alright then, that’s my sign. time to let the young ones have at it.” taking out their 401k gold hoard. moving to a cave in Miami. collecting dragon pension

Okay but (aquarium buzz?) that's actually (blanket matches projector case) (something stuck under thumbnail) not a bad (left the chip bag open) way of (comic books on table out of alignment) (should adjust them) (is that an OCD symptom? (Don't have that) (Mom used to tell you you did) ("I don't have OCD mom, I just like things a certain way.")) demonstrating (demonstrating, defenstrating, shove a man out a window for a defenstration demonstration (should I post that seperately? Kinda funny)) (this is getting long) (I should put some letters in bold so people can actually read what I'm saying) what it's like (buzz changed frequency) (neighbor made a noise upstairs (what's he doing?) probably his kid) (Microwave) to have to (to have two, halve two too) focus through (threw, thru, throo) (has that frame on the wall always been crooked?) all this ("look at all those chickens!") other bullshit

I just saw the track and field Olympics uniforms I keep hearing about and holy FUCK

Apparently there's a "shorts" option as well but wtf was Nike & the team officials ever thinking with this design???????

I initially was like "wow, that is an uncomfortable looking swimsuit" before realizing it was for TRACK AND FIELD. Can you imagine RUNNING in that?!?!

"Professional athletes should be able to compete without dedicating brain space to constant pube vigilance or the mental gymnastics of having every vulnerable piece of your body on display,” Lauren Fleshman, a former professional track and field athlete, wrote on Instagram. “Women’s kits should be in service to performance, mentally and physically. If this outfit was truly beneficial to physical performance, men would wear it. This is not an elite athletic kit for track and field. This is a costume born of patriarchal forces that are no longer welcome or needed to get eyes on women’s sports.”

MLP lore lesson: This male hourglass cutiemark pony. Most fans of the show will know him, but I think this lore might be funny to learn for people who weren't part of the fandom at the time.

He was originally a generic townie that appeared in some episodes as a random passerby. The fandom decided he resembled David Tennant as The Doctor on Doctor Who, taking the hourglass cutiemark as a reference to time travel, and thus the fans named him Doctor Whooves. In fanworks, he was commonly paired up with "Derpy Hooves", another popular background pony, mirroring The Doctor's MO of traveling with a female companion.

Like many popular fan-interpretations of the background ponies, this fanon was eventually semi-canonized in copyright-safe ways in later seasons by giving him accessories that referenced different Doctors, such as David Tennant's tie and 3D glasses, Tom Baker's scarf, and Matt Smith's bow tie.

Finally, in the season 5 episode Slice of Life, he was canonically referred to as "Doc" and "Doctor", as well as researching time travel alongside Derpy Hooves, as clear nods to the fandom.

Though the character is usually referred to as "Time Turner" in official sources, there are at least a few instances of the character being officially referred to as "Doctor Whooves" or "Doctor Hooves", such as in figures and on a trading card. There is also a comic where he appears on the cover with multiple Doctor Who references, such as a Weeping Angel and a street lamp that resembles the Tardis.

Yes! Cause the hour glass was one of the default background pony cutie marks so people made up reasons as to why there were multiples of him. Good times

JK Rowling has used her billionaire legal team to silence a Jewish woman for telling the truth about her contempt for trans victims of the Holocaust.

Scotland’s network of “freedom of speech” organisations, as per usual, have nothing to say about the use of wealth to gag critics of the wealthy.

However fast they race to condemn the LGBT+ community for saying the names of those who harm us. Statements at the ready to insist that transphobes no one wants to work with anymore must be given every possible opportunity to gain from their bigotry.

But it's not the billionaires who are being silenced, as our media breathlessly echo their every hateful proclamation.

It's journalists and activists forced to publicly humiliate themselves under the weight and the threat of billionaire legal teams or be driven into destitution.

We deserve better. Freedom of speech needs to mean something

The Streisand Effect strikes

This will swiftly become one of the primary things JK Rowling is remembered for. Trying to erase crimes of the Holocaust against trans people and then silencing Jewish journalists for calling her out.

With your help we can make sure JK Rowling is known as a Holocaust denier first, author of mediocre children's books second

“to be a woman is to experience pain”“to be a woman is to perform”“to be a woman is to-” SHUT UP SHUT UP 💥💥💥💥

maybe being a woman is looking in the mirror and going “fuck yeah i’m a woman” maybe i don’t want my little cousins to feel like shit to be women maybe i don’t want trans women to feel like their right of passage is pain maybe i just want girls to be happy
