team rocket bisexual power couple

genuinely we need more romantic couples queering up heteronormativity the way these two did. james is half a primadonna (meowth is the other half), he is emotional, embarrassingly sincere, spineless, but also the heart and soul of their little family. jesse is the backbone of the team. she is strong & territorial & protective bc she has to be; she struggles with her insecurities (yes she's a villain but is she too assertive? too demanding? not perfect enough, not worthy of success?). and somehow they are BOTH? all of these things??? they love & support each other. they're both fruity messes. they take turns with the braincell--except 90% of the time when they throw the braincell out the window. james has tits. they role switch. AND they're Weird Catowners. no one did it better

Meowth has the braincell.

Meowth is batting the braincell around like a ball of yarn.

Wait this is funny

This humor is so fucking advanced yet so fucking simple at the same time

Black tortoiseshell.

In cats the color red (O) is a sex-linked gene on the X chromosome. Tortoiseshell cats have 1 copy of the red gene and 1 copy without (XOXo) and their distinct mottled pattern is due to something called X-chromosome inactivation. This means the X chromosome with the red gene is turned “off” in some areas, allowing the default pigment to show normally.

So at the end of this cats tail the X chromosome with the red gene is the active one. The distribution is pretty random so we wind up with a lot of diverse, really interesting presentations of the pattern!

People are talking about how reading Dungeon Meshi gives them an internal monologue Senshi for eating properly I think we all need to adopt an internal monologue Chilchuck at work. Like the boat is literally sinking and he's just watching it happen because he's on his lunch break.

This is the Union Chilchuck, reblog him to affirm your own worth as a worker and entitlement to regular breaks

Actually your society is the freaks for shooting everything that moves and burning half your "nature reserves" every year so that upperclass dandies can eat leaded pheasant. North Americans are the well adjusted ones here, your country has become a desolate suburban lawn in island form

my opinion as an american is that we spend way too much time trying to save african megafauna and nowhere near enough time making fun of the english for turning an entire island--which was once a hazelnut food forest--into a goddamn lawn.

bill bryson once actually wrote down in a whole book and got published that the english were superb gardeners and i about threw the book out the window i was that outraged. the english!!! the fucking ENGLISH. them? that's who you want to laud? the english

THEIR MAIN AGRICULTURAL EXPORT IS FAMINE

anyway the english approach to agriculture, biodiversity, and environmentalism is roughly on par with a dog's approach to someone else's homework and everywhere in the world that has inherited their cack-fisted disdain for nature has suffered immensely. i can't overstate enough how bad things have been and still are.

please make fun of them. it's the least they fucking deserve.

Vaguely reminds me of how much Australia gets flack for its "cracked up"/dangerous wildlife. Or the emu war. Like at least they have biodiversity. People act like the world is solely OUR playground and the animals are an obstacle which couldn't be further from the truth.

"Their main agricultural export is famine" is easily the best sentence I've read in my entire god damn life.

I’m sorry. Did you say “emu war”?

the emus won btw

Bikini Bottom has a universal basic income

Both Squidward and Spongebob can afford their own two-story houses with enough money left over for things like snail food and art supplies, they are both fast food workers with a boss that is shown on several occasions to pay them as little as possible

Furthermore, characters like Plankton can afford his own restaurant, machines, and computer despite not selling a single burger, Patrick similarly has his own place and lifestyle while rarely shown to actually work

In this essay we will examine the idea of a universal basic income that exists in the SpongeBob universe that provides

did they ever track down the baby born at dashcon?

you know, the dashcon baby… the baby born in the ballpit at dashcon

what

Th e

the dashcon baby

at dashcon, a late term pregnant lady (there for a writing panel i believe) arrived, and while going around the “event”, her water broke around 2 months earlier than expected, and began to go into labour, there was a huge traffic jam because of, you know, and driving to the hospital was out of the question, so they called an ambulance. But the thing is, because of the traffic jam, it took over 40 minutes, and she was going into labour NOW. A nurse in training there took over and had to deal with the woman, so they took the ballpit, being the best thing they could think of in the mostly empty area, cleared some of the balls away, and had to use that as a surface to deliver the baby. Around 5 minutes before they got there, they managed to deliver the baby, (thankfully) in a safe state.

great post everybody

I helped!

Fascinating how wrapped up yall are in dashcon lore ten years later.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

i think some of you guys are insane 👍 it's actually possible for a 16 year old to be online friends with someone in their 20s. source: teenagers are actually people who can talk to other people about shared interests.

21 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 that 18 year old is literally your college classmate. you are the same age. You Are The Same Age

like, the moral panic about age gaps in dating is one thing but this reddit thread was literally about Being Online Friends. you can be online friends with a teenager. they are actually people you can talk to. i promise.

it's very easy to not be a creepy adult when talking to a minor. step one: don't act creepy. that's it. that's all you need to do.

When I was sixteen, I and my boyfriend (eighteen) and his little brother (fourteen) all belonged to the same gaming group, which had been started by his father's friend Steve. We played twice a week with a bunch of people twice and even three times our age, and we learned that adults weren't aliens, they were people with their own feelings and fears and they weren't always right about everything.

Those years at Steve's table were incredibly important to my development as a person. And we had something in common: the game.

Here's the truth: when you grow up, as you go through the various developmental stages, there are things which are vital to happen for proper psychological and cognitive development. For example, when you're very young it is absolutely vital that you are exposed to language. A lot of language. Of varying levels of complexity and formality. That's vital for the healthy development of the language centers of the brain and for early socializing. It must happen. If it does not, you see severe dysfunction as they get older.

This is basic psychological and cognitive development theory. It's taught in pretty basic level Psych courses. This is known science.

Socializing with adults, of various ages, both related to you and not related to you, in various social situations from social equals to authority figure, is one of those vital landmarks. And it comes up over and over and over during development. As a young child you must interact with adults, who care for you, so you can understand care and safety. And it gets more deep and more complicated as you develop.

Preteens and teens must interact with people older than them, significantly older, in various ways, up to and including casual friendly socializing as equals, or they will not develop properly. This is absolutely vital. Your ability to function in the real world socially depends on it.

We are fucking destroying our young people with this bullshit.

I had friends in their 30s and 50s when I was a teenager, and they saved me SO. MUCH. PAIN.

Do you not understand how amazing it is to be able to describe an experience you're having and have someone say "yes, I have had that experience several times, here are the things that might be about to hurt you, here is how to avoid them or mitigate that"?

It's pretty fucking amazing.

If you are avoiding older people, you are hurting yourself badly.

... I note also: If you are avoiding younger people, you are also hurting yourself.

Diverse friend groups are a very good idea. You should always have them. In general, it is a bad thing for any large group not to contain both young and old people. It will always, always, bite you in the ass.

guy on the news just now was saying that all the evil in the whole world is contained in a single nut and if a squirrel eats it we're ok but if it grows into a tree we're basically fucked. anyone else see this
