A tribute to Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov, on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of his death (April 24, 1967).
He truly deserved so much better. 💔 I hope this tribute will be worthy of his memory.

WAIT
That would honestly be the funniest possible thing to do for his character. It would somehow be perfectly in keeping with his whole vibe.
It's קן (said exactly like כן), and I remember a tagline for the movie was ".קן, זו ברבי" (which means "ken, it's barbie." but obviously the pun was "yes, it's barbie.")

im gonna fucking cry
AI is bad so do some vigilante shit
warning, it's very loud when the dog speaks
it's illegal to not say "oh big stretch" when your dog does a Big Stretch
My god my girlies
MY GIRLIES. I am still crying, I am still crying about this. Every day I cry about this.
You bitched so hard about being forced to read 1984 in school when it’s so problematic (tm)
Maybe you should have actually paid attention when you read it
Because all these AI fics
You are LITERALLY MAKING THE GARBAGE NOVELS FROM 1984 that are written by machines
You have literally recreated the worthless soulless machine-made books
Literally,
Literally. Every once in a while it hits me in a fresh wave of disbelief and anger. You have literally created the dystopian book from the dystopian story about why dystopia is bad, and you are passing it around like it’s this amazing thing. I’m crying, I’m crying.
Not a joke, by the way
why isn’t there an animated kids show about the Baker St Irregulars do I have to dO EVERYTHING MYSELF
I can't wait to see what you come up with! But there is a French comics series called Les Quatre de Baker Street (the Baker Street Four - three kids and a cat) and it's great!
The first volume is set in the mid-1880s, and they age along with the story: Volume 4 (The Orphans of London) is set in May 1891 and starts with Reichenbach. And it's not a series "for kids", either! (more like YA, I guess) There's "adult" themes like prostitution, anarchist activism of the late 19th century Russian kind, anti-Irish racism (yes, racism), poor houses and what they were like... Here's the cover of Volume Three:
and a panel from #3 or 4, I don't remember:
I don't know if they're available in English, but I've been following the series since 2010 and enjoying it immensely 💜
Greetings bugs and worms!
This comic is a little different than what I usually do but I worked real hard on it—Maybe I'll make more infographic stuff in the future this ended up being fun. Hope you learned something new :)
If you are still curious and want to learn more about OCD, you can visit the International OCD Foundation's website. I also recommend this amazing TED ED video "Starving The Monster", which was my first introduction to the disorder and this video by John Green about his own experience with OCD.
The IOCDF's website can also help you find support groups, therapy, and has lots of online guides and resources as well if you or a loved one is struggling with the disorder. It is very comprehensive!
Reblog to teach your followers about OCD
(But also not reblogging doesn't make you evil, silly goose)
Oh please, please spread information about this. It's so goddamn important.
I was diagnosed with OCD in December 2021, and it was a living hell. It's nothing like the pop culture representation of it. It was, without question, the worst experience of my life. OCD is a nightmare to have.
Those feelings you have when something horrible happens? Imagine having those feelings day in and day out, because in your mind, those horrible things are being constantly thought about as a very real threat. Your mind tells you to do the compulsion, or they'll come true.
The compulsions aren't something we like doing. The comic is so right about this. You could be rearranging your room a hundred times to get it exactly right because it makes you happy, and still not have OCD. The compulsions are born out of fear, that started rational and then devolved into things that don't make sense at all.
Because I was a psychology student and I'm someone who pays close attention to my mental state, I noticed the horrifying change in my behaviour and forced my family to take me to see a psychologist within a couple of months of symptom onset.
It's been more than two years of medication and therapy, and the OCD doesn't paralyse me anymore the way it used to. Most days, I barely remember it's there, sleeping in my brain and dormant. Treatment is possible, and I'm proof of it.
This is because I saw something was wrong and got help.
But even being a psychology student, until I got the diagnosis, I didn't even consider it might be OCD. I just knew something was off.
Why didn't I think of OCD? Because of the sheer volume of misinformation that's spread about this disorder.
I don't want other OCD sufferers to not seek help simply because of this popular misunderstanding about what the disorder is. So yeah. Please go through the comic, it explains it wonderfully.
This is.....niche. Do period-appropriate chickens even still exist? Idk anything about chickens. I like the fancy ones.
"period appropriate" in this case is probably "did the breed even EXIST during this period?" and also "did the breed exist YET in this location during this time period?" and the answer in a lot of cases is no. Either the breed wasn't developed AT ALL until later, or it at least had not been imported from its native lands (SE asia/Oceana for red jungle fowl descendants or Chile for araucana descendants).
A lot of current-day common chicken breeds are VERY recent compared to human civilization. ISA Browns (common brown-egg layer) and Ameraucanas/EE (common blue-egg layer) were both developed as breeds in the 1970's. Europe and many other places outside of Chile only learned of the Araucana in the early 1900s. The barred rock, a common brown-egg layer, wasn't developed until the 1800s. You see this chicken in a movie from the 1700s or earlier?
historically inaccurate. Didn't exist. Maybe something LIKE it existed, but specifically the Barred Rock did not.
Chickens descended from one of four species of junglefowl.
Red junglefowl
Grey junglefowl
Sri Lankan junglefowl
and green jungle fowl
This INCLUDES araucanas, who were likely originally developed by the Mapuche people of the Araucanía region of Chile. The farther back in time you go, the more chickens would have looked closer to these four birds (and it's entirely possible these four have evolved since their original forms back in time, too, as humans began domesticating chickens thousands of years ago and that's a decent amount of time for ecological pressures to take effect).
Now what you might see are SIMILAR birds. For example, a brahma and a sussex hen look fairly similar - white birds with black around the neck/tail, red wattles/comb - but where as the Brahma was developed in the early to mid 1800s, the sussex has been around since at least the AD 40's. But here's a hen from each kind side by side, do you know which is which?
You MIGHT not really notice a difference at a glance. But they DO have different body builds, they have different comb shapes, and brahmas have feathered feed.
Same with barred rocks vs dominiques. Barred rocks from the 1800s, dominiques from the 1700s, here's one of each. Do you know which is which?
so to answer the question.... yes, period specific chickens exist and have existed for a very long time. New breeds continue to be developed. Things like the Prairie Bluebell, or the Green Queen, or Mystic Marans, usually "created" by hatcheries by slapping 2-3 breeds together so they can trademark a name. But there ARE still folks honestly looking to develop new breeds, and folks dedicated to preserving heritage breeds from hundreds or even thousands of years ago, to the point where an honest distinction in quality and bird can be made between a "heritage" chicken and a "hatchery" chicken of the "same" breed.
My favorite of the more recent breed delevopment projects that I am aware of is Rob Garren's purple chickens. The birds themselves are not Literally Purple, but he's been working on selecting for an increase in purple in the iridescence of their phenotype, which makes them shine purple
I've always been a sucker for purple things, what can I say.

that looks like a condom and the fact that everyone in the notes is saying “the orb” proves that no one on this website fucks
the fuck kinda bouncy-ball ass condoms are you using
the fact that someone thinks that looks like a condom is proof that no one on this website fucks
ok y’all it’s LITERALLY taken from the “wizard pondering his orb” image
it’s an orb.
ok not to beat a dead horse but i found the ORIGINAL image and it’s cover art from a lotr themed ttrpg.
so
5 reblog additions later and this post is still best summarized by "no one on this website fucks"
*nobody IS fucked BY people with penises
So we've all heard of the "I Want Song" genre in musicals.
But what about the "Let's talk about the bitch behind their back like they're not in the room" song, or "singing s*** behing a bitche's back". There's a surprising amount of them.
"Belle" from Beauty and the Beast
"Scrooge" from Muppet Christmas Carol
"Maria" from The Sound of Music
"Look at Me I'm Sandra Dee" from Grease
"You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" from How The Grinch Stole Christmas
"Jackass In a Can" from Galavant
"Phony King of England" from Robin Hood
"Stepsister's Lament" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella
"Non-Stop" from Hamilton
And, of course, the man, the myth, the legend...
"We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto
You can learn a lot about a character and story from what they sing versus what other people sing about them.
one day, you will close Tumblr for a final time…
how am i supposed to care about anything when there are still hostages.

hands are insane because they're the absolute sexiest part of a body veins tendons knuckles hair on the wrist and the back of the fingers bones and blood all close to the skin screaming I AM ALIVE AND I SHAPE THE WORLD AROUND ME freckles and scars and the cryptic spiral of a fingerprint on each digit but also you cover them up with gloves and they BECOME HOTTER for some reason. and then you take the gloves off and they're hotter again. science can't explain this
