Dracula daily starts in just a couple weeks!
So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
Reblog to increase sample size!
NASA advertising "do you want to be an astronaut" to tumblr users surely means something. What have you found out there, NASA? What have you found that you believe tumblr users, specifically, are best equipped to handle?
[ID text of previous post in this thread–
A multi-panel comic strip showing an exchange between an alien in a flying saucer and the Secretary General of the United Nations on Earth.
The first panel shows the flying saucer approaching the Earth, with a speech bubble saying:
"PEOPLE OF EARTH! WE COME SEEKING MATES! TURN OVER 100,000 PEOPLE AT ONCE OR FACE ANNIHILATION!"
The next panel is captioned "14 MINUTES LATER", and shows a green-skinned alien with bug eyes and a tall, domed and hairless head speaking with the UN Secretary General via a communication screen. The UN Secretary General is shown on the screen as female-presenting, with a short bob hairstyle, round spectacles and a trim bi-colored top.
The UN Secretary General says:
"HI, THIS IS THE UN SECRETARY GENERAL. WE HAVE YOUR PEOPLE."
The alien, looking perplexed, asks:
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT SO FAST?"
So that the alien can see it, the UN Secretary General holds up a smaller device with text on its screen that says "Looking for a Close encounter?" and replies:
"POSTED A VOLUNTEER THREAD ON A FETISH SITE."
The alien replies:
"I... IT WAS A TEST. CIVILIZATIONS THAT FORCE PEOPLE TO COME WITH US ARE CONDEMNED WHILE CIVILIZATIONS THAT REFUSE GET TO JOIN THE GALACTIC FEDERATION.
The alien continues:
"YOU SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE IN A WAY THAT CHALLENGES OUR UNDERSTANDING OF INTELLIGENT LIFE.
The UN Secretary General replies instead:
"WOULD YOU MIND TAKING SOME OVERFLOW? PEOPLE WERE PRETTY ENTHUSIASTIC."

GF command, this is zorblax ship hx5400. the earthling have an answer that we don't have instructions for.
did they give you their citizens, or not?
the required amount... volunteered
WHAT?!?!
Continues to be true.
throwback to when I tried to explain how incredibly important wording is in law and legalese. trans men should have access to abortion, paternity leave, healthcare etc. if legal documentation says "women/females" now have access to this or that, then that means legally, trans men, especially those who have changed their gender marker to "male," are not included when they should be.
it's that simple. that's why wording like "those who menstruate / those who give birth / those who have this anatomy" is necessary.
"little things" like gynecologists thinking there's been a mistake or a prank call and cancelling appointments with trans men because the ID system shows them as "male" with a "traditionally male" name also stem from this. and actually that's NOT a little thing, that's fucked! that's being barred from healthcare because doctors don't know or believe you exist? erasure and invisibility of trans men is a problem, not a convenience.

Don't let this die. Taylor Swift is the Pollution Queen now. We need meme edits with her photoshopped onto backgrounds of wildfire-ravaged landscapes and oil refineries chugging out black smoke.
Photo of smudgy black eye shadow? That's THE Taylor Swift-inspired look now, it represents fossil fuels.
We need parodies of Taylor Swift songs about pollution and killing polar bears.
Give her representatives a full-time job for the rest of their lives defending her from the phrase "Pollution Queen." Make this meme a the figurehead of an entire fleet of other celebrity-terrorizing memes.
"But this doesn't dismantle the system that—" Shut. Don't care. Isn't it great that such a huge portion of environmental damage is being done by human individuals with egos, whose feelings can be hurt when people are mean?
Money can save you from physical harm, but can it save you from looking ridiculous?

youre telling me a ham fisted this metaphor??
no multi option, agonize and choose, no results option, pick one to find out or scroll onward
the number of y'all in the notes mentioning how good the choices are/how hard it is to choose got me preening like "i am going to get a good grade in neurodivergent/disabled, a thing that is both normal to want and possible to achieve 😌"
anybody else in the club feeling this one
Yeahhhh…
Currently…..
when a powerful figure is reduced to kneeling. when the lord is forced to bow. when the exile stumbles into an unwelcoming bar. when the “beast” is chained by their horns. when a god is dragged behind their enemy’s chariot, a captive and trophy. when the loyal “guard dog” character is muzzled and the silver-tongued thief falls silent in horror.
that’s the shit
it’s about the contrapasso. the reversal of roles and the sudden, plunging terror of being unable to hide.
Jonathan, between meals probably: “Are you sure I’m meant to eat an entire garlic bulb as a palate cleanser?”
The locals, sweating, trying their best to low-key vampire-proof this boy: “Yes. Absolutely. Very traditional.”
