mako trig is my twinksona

Wyll names his moves. That's it, that is the post.

not to succumb to u.s. military propaganda but dick winters saying "i served in a company of heroes" in the last episode of band of brothers WILL have me in tears every single time

Best thing about cats is that you can just bother them whenever you want without guilt because they do that to you

Ma'am this is the space restaurant we only serve bumpy fruit and severed tentacle

that's fine can i get a glass of something bright blue that's bubbling so violently it'd be impossible to take a sip. extra dry ice on the side

it frustrates me to see people saying modern Gale would be an AI bro. Modern Gale would hate AI because there is no soul in it, no creativity; it is attempting to 'solve' art with math and he would find that stifling and depressing.

GORTASH IS THE AI BRO stop robbing him of his title. He would be blackmailing people with ai-cloned voices and likenesses, living his best life.

chilchuck is so small. what if he fell in the bong and they smoked him

that wouldn't happen bc chilchuck is the only party member that knows what a bong is or how to use it. actually the bong would be too small for him to fall in because it's his bong

Dawg how are you 22 with a wife and kids you should be outside playing

the stuff going on at columbia campus rn is genuinely incredible

despite mass arrests by NYPD and several students (including rep ilhan omar’s daughter, isra hirsi) being suspended for their participation and having their university identification deactivated, the gaza solidarity encampment is still going strong well into its second day. def recommend following independent reporter talia jane who is taking part and providing live updates. (talia was the first reporter to break aaron bushnell’s self immolation in february; she was one of the reporters he contacted personally prior to the protest.)

thank you so much alexa @shivsblunt for mentioning it…..anyone who wants to contribute to their jail support fund can do so @ bcabolitioncollective on v*nmo. also, if anyone is in the area and available to join (via cssw4palestine on ig):

quick are you mythologizing sex again? are you making it seem like a special category of human behavior rather than just a thing people do? are you forgetting that it can be silly or fun or simply pedestrian? are you forgetting that it requires conversation and negotiation just like every other human activity that involves other people?

do people even know the extent of sanctions on the iranian people? my mom's family can't afford fruit anymore. it's a state of psychological warfare; literally nobody living there has any sort of hope for the future. added sanctions from the EU are going to destroy the lives of 87 million innocent people

Babe, you can be 300 lbs+ and still be a delicate flower.

The way you change your immediate reactions to things is that you catch yourself having an uncharitable/bigoted/overly judgmental thought and you catch it and replace it and then you do that a hundred times a day for your whole life and eventually one day like five years later you realize that you think differently now and you’ll always be working on something but that’s how life goes and that’s fine.

Say you have a bad habit of thinking all other people are stupider than you and want to respect other people’s intelligence more.

So you start paying attention to your immediate first reactions to things. You notice that when other people around you are struggling with a math problem and ask you for help you default to seeing them as annoying and stupid.

Instead of chastising yourself for having that thought, interrogate it. Replace it. Think, why do I assume people with different strengths are dumber than I am? I need help sometimes too. I’m glad they’re comfortable enough with me to ask me for help. I’m glad I’ve got a reputation of being the math guy and can help people with that.

And the first time, perhaps the first few dozen times, it’ll feel disingenuous. The cynicism in your brain will fight it. But in time it’ll become as easy as breathing. First thought, replace thought.

And then one day you don’t need to replace that thought. That might be a month from now or twenty years from now. And it’s annoying to get there. But you do get there.

why is this so funny

now idk if @asimovsideburns will see this but I just got a commission for their (? couldn't find pronouns in the bio) klingon therapist post:

thoughts?

honestly I thought more of yall would have caught the fucked up e on magnitude but of COURSE i misspelled 'against' and didn't notice 🤦

The capitals being squished like that was unfortunately a higher order error: I was trying to operate within an exact amount of lines to create super-consistent 3cm border padding around the whole piece.

If I'd just given myself about a half centimeter's amount of leeway on all four sides, the capital squish wouldn't have happened.

hopefully yall'd like this as a print, since I just got the go ahead from @asimovsideburns to get started the turning-this-into-a-print process
