what what what are you doing

The fight isn't won yet, but don't forget that we have made enormous progress.

We would be in a much, much worse position if it wasn't for all the incredible work of environmental activists who came before us, most of whose names and contributions we will never know. They are the reason that we have a fighting chance now, and we owe it to them to pick up their banner and keep running.

my favorite part of this is all the swifties in the replies of the original tweet like “someone we have to google” and “none of us know who uou are” like… COURTNEY LOVE? now im not claiming to be the number one courtney love defender in the world but if you have no idea who she is that says a lot more about you than her….

This post is ancient and stupid but I still laugh whenever I see it

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "this is a valuable exploration of intimacy and vulnerability that we’re conditioned to recognize only in romantic relationships but that can exist platonically as well" way

absolutely obsessed with the NASA eclipse broadcast where you spend over an hour with these very professional hosts presenting scientific facts and updates until the totality hits their location and they're reduced to screaming and hollering and incredibly human messes

listen its about the last unicorn being fundamentally no different from the harpy and feeling more compassion for her than she does the trapped animals or the humans trapped by circumstance. it's about haggard grabbing the unicorn only once she has become human enough for him to drag her down and realise her eyes are empty. it's about schmendrick and the magic that lives in him more than he wields it, it's about "never run from anything immortal, it attracts their attention" while walking slowly from an unspeakable horror devouring an old woman, it's about "how dare you come to me now, when I am this?". it's about the unicorns staying in the water until they can't anymore, until the castle crumbles and the one unicorn who is different from the others now - she lowers her horn and she digs her hooves in and she stands her ground for a dear, dead boy. it's about the trade of immortality between schmendrick and the unicorn, it's about stories needing to be told, it's about lir loving the unicorn enough to know that she cannot stay with him, and to let her would be to do her a disservice.

it's about "your name is a golden bell hung in my heart. i would tear myself to pieces to call you once by your name." it's about regret.

(it's also about little 5 year old me renting the movie from the library whenever i could and watching it on loop for hours. it's about just how much this story has shaped me and my understanding of storytelling.)

Beautiful day here in Burlington, Vermont. Why if anything happens to the sun I just don't know what I'll do

I LOVE YOU EM DASH. mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah a thousand kisses for the em dash.

So being basic is bad but being based is good but following your baser instincts is bad.

This is an example of the Aristotle’s theory of moderation. Not enough base is bad, but too much base also bad. Thus we must strive for a moderate amount of base.

Ah, so it’s best if some of your base are belong to us. I get it now.

the eternal tension between “let kids play and be kids” and “move it along, brushing teeth does not need to take 20 entire minutes”

Oh my god, this. I do not want to infringe on your bodily autonomy or exert my will over yours but also SCHOOL IS HAPPENING and dear sweet lord in heaven will you please just PUT ON YOUR SHOES

It's okay if it takes a little longer than you thought.

OMG the backstory behind the whole boop thing is amazing.

same energy

there’s more

SIGH

here’s another one

IT GETS WORSE WITH EVERY ADDITION

how does this get even worse

I think about once in a while...

We have another one...

This is the internet now tho 😭💀

@lifeistooshorttowasteyourtime @marril96 @latent-thoughts @suometar

😂😂😂

Omg so many additions since I last saw this post! 😂😂😂

It's funny but incredibly telling how entitled/ignorant/insensitive some of these people are... idk if it's an education gap or purposeful ignorance.

The really bewildering thing to me is that I remember when you needed to get up and pull a dictionary off the shelf, or visit a library to look up the facts you needed. Now people have all kinds of information literally at their fingertips and they can’t be bothered to use it.

Oh dear gods, it's gotten worse

When you know politics but no facts

don’t take people too seriously on the internet

This hits different when combined with that "Americans don't learn other countries exist till they're in 5th Grade" post from the other day.

Demily recently got another one lads

Also, I love that, in the sign language one, it seems like the last image might've been a gif of "fuck you," screenshot at the perfect time to let you know they were about to sign "fuck you"

As a romanian person I gotta add this one too
