Literally the first thought I had was käänteiskentauri

[VD: Young man leaning towards the camera, saying "Here's how I learned that maybe my brain doesn't work the same as everyone else's.."

"A few years ago I saw this tandem bike for sale"

video cuts to the image of a white bike with two seats.

"And literally the first thought I had was, 'If you cut the back seat off of that, and replace it with a horse's butt'.."

While he narrates, he is shown removing the back seat of the bicycle, first standing up, then sitting down.

"It would look kind of like a centaur riding a bicycle."

He's in a different room, sitting on the floor in a different shirt, and where the back seat was, there is now a wooden construction of a horse's backside and legs.

"I told my friend that idea and I said: it's a pretty obvious idea though, so I'm sure someone's already done it."

He's adding material to the wooden horse to give it texture, to make it look like wavy fur.

"He looked at me like I was crazy and said: 'I'm pretty sure that idea is only obvious to YOU [you], you weirdo!'."

The man is spray painting the horse with color, the main body a dark brown, while the bottom part of the legs are white, the tail is black.

"So i googled it, and it turned out he was right. I couldn't find a single example of anyone else doing this. So.. I did it!"

The man sits on the bike, testing the pedals, and the horse legs move with the pedals. The horse body perfectly lines up behind him, giving him the appearannce of a centaur. He turns to the camera and waves.

"Now whenever I ride, I'm the centaur of attention."

Scene switches to outside on a sidewalk, a grassy field in the background. He rides in from the left side, turns to look at the camera when the pun is made, then continues riding off screen.

End VD.]

My out of order rewatch has reached The Illustrious Client. I love this episode of Granada Holmes for several reasons:

  • The Turkish Baths - complete with shaky camerawork.
  • Watson taking care of Holmes.
  • “I’m here to be used”
  • Kitty and Porky

If a worker who isn't the owner says ANYTHING similar to "I'm not really supposed to do this but-" and then does something that helps you, under no circumstances inform the business, including through reviews. You tell them that the worker was polite, professional, the very model of customer service and why you like to go there. You do not breathe a word of the rulebreaking.

I’ve reblogged the earlier part of this thread before, and the new stuff makes it even better.

This is the Tumblr equivalent of a warm hug on a cold day.

You’re welcome.

I remember this thread, but I never saw the grown-up pics ❤

All hail Catdad

Just taking a moment to remind everyone that JK Rowling is a Holocaust denier.

The looting & burning of the library of Die Institut für Sexualwissenschaft is an incredibly well-documented event that marks one of the first major events of Nazi persecution of the LGBT community.

Guess what, Jo. This definitely happened.

She has gone further to perpetuate lies about Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld that engage with the anti-semitic conspiracy theory that Jews are encouraging LGBT identities to end the reproduction of the Aryan race and take over the world.

HEY! GOOD NEWS! IF YOU DO HISTORICAL RESEARCH, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING REALLY COOL!

LGBT persecution by Nazis, especially trans persecution, is an area of the Holocaust that remains under-researched and under-documented. Historians are working hard to identify trans and queer victims and to illuminate their life stories. If you are at all interested in this, it's something you can do, too. Research for all!

Plenty of highly intelligent people end up getting sucked in to cults because they just wanted people to hang out with. There are antivaxxer nurses. Your ability to act on empirical reason breaks down fast if your social and emotional needs aren't being met.

Like, I reject this idea that people end up becoming tradwives or antivaxxers or cult members because they were dumb. These groups prey on people by filling the social and emotional needs of vulnerable people. They look for people who need help, and give it to them on predatory conditions.

Fucking around with astrology does not introduce some sort of idealogical poison to your brain. That is ridiculous. Some people turn to astrology because they want a sense of agency in an increasingly atomized world. Some people get into astrology because the night sky is pretty. People /believe/ in astrology because they have some underlying desire to believe in astrology.

High control groups will trawl astrology communities looking for the despondent directionless mfers with few community ties. This trick works even better on college campuses, which are full of despondent directionless mfers with few community ties.

I am frustrated with this idea that participating in ostensibly silly things somehow lowers your psychic defense stat, as if it's a video game. That's now how indoctrination works. You are mistaking a correlation for a causation.

This is also how sad lonely men become incels. People *need* community. We're literally social animals evolved to rely on others around us.

This is why purity culture actually reinforces the very things it claims to fight against: If we drive people out of leftist spaces because we deem them too flawed, it just takes one fascist saying 'hey *we* won't do that to you so they're obviously the enemy' to turn someone who could have been an imperfect but real ally into the sort of person who would cause violence and harm.

love going on callout posts for "thinks cnc is okay" and seeing people talk about how us freaks need the electric chair. fantasizing about violence is okay as long as its not sexual, funny that

idk about you but i'm more scared of someone who opently talks about executing people because of the way they have consensual sex than i am of the guy who asks his girlfriend to say "no, dont~"

The thing about CNC (and other scenario or story based kink) is that pretty much everyone has already been doing the nonsexual version of it since they were tiny kids.

You point a stick at your friend and say "I'm an evil alien with a bazooka! bang!" and your friend flops onto the grass and goes "on no! I'm dead!" and then you both go in the house and eat sandwiches for lunch and you enjoyed your game and no one was harmed or traumatised and no gun violence actually happened.

Everyone understands that that's just normal make believe play that's healthy and normal for children to engage in.

Adults can play make believe, too. And adults can do grownup things, like involve their reproductive organs, with their make believe play. And adults are better actors than children and might need to set up a safe word to tell the difference between a genuine "I'm not having fun anymore" and a play pretend "oh no! I'm dead!" But it's still playing make believe.

if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right

This post is the distilled essence of everything I believe in.
