bacchae.

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

some of you in the notes.. i would say read the room but you didn't even read. the post

there's a cherry blossom tree in DC that keeps blooming every year even though it shouldn't and the park service keeps thinking it's dead and then it keeps blooming! well they're removing a lot of trees to rehabilitate the area and they've said it's finally time for stumpy to go and they're going to mulch it and use the mulch to enrich all the other trees so it can help everything else keep going. and they're also going to plant spliced little pieces of it all over so that stumpy can live forever and this is genuinely sending me into a spiral

someone brought it flowers today

STUMPY MY BELOVED!!!!

For added context on what rehabilitating the area means: there are structural issues with the Tidal Basin seawall that cause flooding like this independent of rainfall. Big portions of the sidewalk in Stumpy’s section are regularly submerged, which is bad for the land and the trees themselves, not to mention an accessibility issue for visitors.

It’s sad that Stumpy and many other trees in the area will need to be cut down, but it will ensure the continued survival of the other trees in the area, and Stumpy himself will live on in his cuttings!

I believe Stumpy will be taken to the national arboretum and his clones will return to the tidal basin after the rebuilding.

Someone left him a bottle of bourbon as an offering.

The Japanese Embassy came to pay him honor this week.

Stumpy and his cohort are part of the original gift from Japan more than 100 years ago, and many have lived this long bc the National Parks takes care of them. Normally the trees live about 40-50 years.

people will really come into kink spaces and say you can't forcefem women like there wasn't a feature length movie about an elderly gay man forcefemming a woman as part of scheme to thwart an elaborate assassination attempt before the killer even determined their target

What... What movie is this.

ain't no way in hell this post even breaks 500

I’m fine

I need divine intervention

Whoever said "you can't make being gay your whole personality whoever says that is homophobic" has clearly never had a conversation with a white gay person.

Mfs be like "I'm the punkfag genderfuck dyke slut your parents warned you about I'm destroying western civilization eating your babies and destroying your nuclear family values" or whatever bullshit cus they got blue hair and think missionary sex is vanilla. Like ok bro but you still clutch your pearls when drunk Mexican dudes are loud on the train home at night you're going to have to step up the decolonization of your mind game if you're gonna be saying All That.

the housing market is ruining my sex life

nobody can host cuz they all live with their parents and i also can't host cuz i live with my parents AND they removed the LOCK on the bathroom at my favorite punk club bc too many people were giving BLOWJOBS in THERE

Isn't that what the punk club bathrooms are for?

EXACTLY

this motherfucker actually just tweeted this in the middle of his own championship match at wrestlemania

just in case you’re doubting me

I wish the ultra rich would take more pride in actual services to society. I wish they bragged about buying a new metro line for their city, or stocking up food banks. I wish Bill Gates and Elon Musk were beefing over who could repair the most potholes, or fund the most scholarships. I wish they considered their ability to help their society a privilege.

They all want so desperately to be liked and are so insecure about their image yet it never occurs to them this is all it would take

I wanna see a horror movie where the villain is human and the protagonists are all different aliens. Not like a misunderstanding just a murderous evil human vs alien scientists on a space station. Alien biology affecting both how they die and how they fight back. The final girl should be the alien so weird and abstract the guy just never figures out how or even if she can be murdered. Yeah where do you stab a sentient electromagnetic particulate in a liquid silicon matrix, asshole??

It's also not that humans are evil or that they're a lot stronger than other species, it's just that the first human they ran into happened to run on slasher villain tropes

Yes exactly. Humanity might have even shot this guy into space to be rid of him once and for all but had no idea he was going to make first contact. Whoops

It should be illegal to require that any device or software connect to the internet just to run. I shouldn't need to log in with microsoft to open any of their programs on my local computer. All games should be playable without access to an online server. All media you pay for should be downloadable to local disk as a raw file and if they don't like that because they know you'll share it and upload it, tough shit. They took your money already, they'll live.
