this is a way better model... you'll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.

[we can't see the full form, but i'd suggest having a "something else" option and dominant hormone question too.]

as a cis woman who's had a hysterectomy and partial oophorectomy, this would be helpful for me, too! it'd be pointless to try to diagnose me for disorders that affect organs I don't have anymore, after all.

being inclusive helps us ALL. 💖

if you told vin diesel fast and the furious you were gay he'd be like "Some people like driving stick…some people like driving automatic…what matters is you cross the finish line.." and then he'd rev up a dodge challenger and drive through a building and kill 16 people

he literally did in the fourth one when he's asked if he likes cars more than women

If you asked if he was cool with trans people, he'd probably say "sometimes, aftermarket parts are the only way to get the vehicle you really want. Everyone should have the right to hot rod."

I feel like a lot of people don’t quite get what a butler is. The role tends to get rounded off to ‘male servant’ pretty regularly in some media, whereas actually butlers are typically not just servants but chief servants. The butler was generally in charge of either all male servants or just all servants, period, in the household of an aristocrat or other very wealthy person. This meant that butlers have often been fairly powerful and influential people, and sometimes even had a manservant or two of their own.

(Also, fun fact: Mary Roberts Rinehart, the early 20th century mystery writer who is widely credited with popularizing the whole ‘the butler did it’ trope was nearly murdered by one of her own servants, a chef whom she had passed over for promotion to butler. He came at her with a pistol, but it jammed, allowing her chauffeur time to wrestle it away and restrain him.)

You didn’t answer the key question things brings up: did she popularize the trope before or after the would-be butler tried to kill her?

according to wikipedia, before

There’s something glorious about the fact that the author who popularised “the butler did it” had a servant who a) failed to become the butler and then b) failed to do it.

If he’d been butler material, he’d have finished the job.

i stopped the dental technician while he was applying fluoride to ask what the fuck the flavour was supposed to be. And he was like oh I was wondering that too. It says it's walterberry.

I feel uneasy

these pictures are so loose and lacking in detail that it’s making my brain force images onto them that aren’t actually there

is that wrinkly kong

ok these are all quite certainly this exact picture of wrinkly kong. why

forget what you saw

i love spaceships i loooove spaceships. the vacuum of space is so unforgiving and harsh and can kill you so quickly. and there's a big beautiful loving machine holding you safely inside of it and floating along through that making sure you are okay. i love spaceships

I was born at a very young age.  I’ve been alive for as long as i can remember, and I hope to continue living until I die.

And what do you think you can bring to our company?

Gonna steal from it

I woke in a cold sweat and had to make this

@instantly-panicked nailed it

she tower on my babel till I ἐπιούσιον

#ἐπιούσιον is a word that’s only ever used in the Lord’s prayer#with extreme controversy surrounding its translation#i suspect the joke here is that this post forces the reader to do a bunch of linguistic research#only to not come up with a conclusive answer#mimicking the experiences of those who built the tower of babel#this has been another installment of overexplaining jokes until theyre not funny anymore with autistics via @exbeekeeper​

ok but you just saved my ass 30 minutes of research by explaining the joke and now i can laugh at it sooner you didn't make it not funny you made it funny faster

Fr I really love Neil Banging Out the Tunes Day.

Like, that rat is definitely not with us anymore but he did one funny thing years ago and a bunch of internet people still remember and love him! And lots of my rats are not with us anymore and you know what? They also did funny things (or sweet things or even just very dramatic things)!

It just gives me hope that in a couple of decades' time I'll still be telling people about those little things even after I forget the smell of their fur or the feel of their kisses or the weight of cuddling them.

AND and and other rat owners recreating it with their babies just reinforces it even more! Now Neil is a part of their memories too!

Oh and people loving on a little rat man (a hairless one no less!) is always great too.

Pet rats live about three years. Neil Banging Out the Tunes is the equivalent of a human doing something silly today and being fondly remembered for it by thousands in the 26th century. That little guy banged out a memory of himself on a scale he couldn't possibly imagine.

learning that people want you in their lives is a skill you can develop if it does not come naturally

it feels fake but your friends miss you sometimes

the reason you've been hanging out with your closest friends fairly regularly for the past 12+ years is because you have fun together

people who don't like you that much will not stay in your life for over a decade asking to hang out and inviting you to things and texting you

turn up that fucking hurdy gurdy
