He was an avid chef and wrote an entire goddamn cookbook.

He was a lifelong member of PFLAG after his daughter came out as a lesbian.

Basically Vincent Price was one of the best humans to ever exist.

More than one cookbook.

His daughter also says that when she came out to him, he replied

"You know, I know just how you feel because I have had these deep, loving relationships with men in my life and all my wives were jealous."

A truly amazing human being <3

people think taking things literally is just like

  • not getting jokes and sarcasm

when in my experience it's more like

  • thinking you have to fulfill 100% of the exact requirements for something, when everyone else apparently knows it's actually a bit flexible
  • answering rhetorical questions and everyone thinking you're stupid
  • SAYING something with a literal meaning and others interpreting it figuratively
  • following instructions to a T but not knowing how to modify them if something goes wrong
  • wait that song was talking about WHAT??
  • doing EXACTLY what someone asked of you and them getting mad that it wasn't what they meant or actually wanted
  • being terrified of people's empty threats or hyperbole without realizing they didn't actually mean it
  • memorizing all the connotations of different words so you can use them as precisely as possible, getting frustrated when others are inexact
  • still not getting jokes and sarcasm

What happens when Steeb dips into Star Trek for a bit

So, I recently learned of a feature that’s built into at least the Galaxy and California class Federation starships: Cetacean Ops. Whole wings of a saucer section dedicated to housing a crew comprised of, staffed by, and commanded by whales and dolphins. With the advent of the universal communicator, it looks like Starfleet was able to draw upon our native sapient aquatic mammals to aid crews in 3D navigational arrays, xenolinguistics, and general different fields of thinking. 

This is all very cool and I wish it was explored a bit in Alpha canon, but it got me thinking of other sapient species Starfleet could’ve brought in with some accommodations. Namely, elephants. In present days they’re recognized as being extremely intelligent, and with the communicators analyzing subsonic communications, they’re probably a shoe in for this kind of work, especially since they have a prehensile appendage and don’t need millions of gallons of water to stay healthy. This is all assuming they didn’t die out between the current day and WWIII, and the Eugenics Wars, and the Romulan Wars, and the Klingon war... look, let me dream here.

This isn’t to say they wouldn’t need *some* special accommodations, namely halls big enough to accommodate their great size, floors that are forgiving to their sensitive feet, and probably replicators that are able to provide large amounts of food elephants would need per meal. This made me think of perhaps a Starfleet vessel staffed almost entirely by pachyderms, designed specifically with them in mind... the USS Ganesh or the USS Hathi, specialized ships for diplomatic missions for new lives and new civilizations that may not gel as well with humanoids or relatively tiny species, or even those with forested terrain not easily traversed by humanoids or their vehicles.

I will also admit... I also imagined a limited contribution towards the Dominion War. Jem’hadar expecting humans, Andorians, Vulcans, maybe even Klingons, then suddenly facing a full phalanx of custom phaser-armed Captain Loxodonta and her security team, tearing through the surrounding jungle and fortifications alike as shock troops even the Dominion might fear.

And now I really wanna write mini-fics about this elephant crew and other Terran nonhuman animal crews. Maybe crows/ravens as well? Bonobos?

... took me way too long to realize that the reason the Avatar divination practices used to find Kuruk's successor weren't working was because young Kyoshi was flying around on her sky bison for the first few years of her life. That's gonna mess up the process something fierce even with just a few flights.

That infuriating moment when you realize a TERF followed you and you gotta go through reblogs and follows from the past month to see who else you might need to block

History as Tabletop Games

DM: Alright Musashi, your duel is in the early morning, what would you like to do? 

Musashi: Alright, well first of all, I'm gonna sleep in. 

DM: .... Alright, Sasaki waits around for about 3 hours, getting madder and madder the longer he waits. You soon find yourself being woken by his attendants, telling you to hurry up and get to the duel. 

Musashi: I make him wait another several hours as I take my time eating a nice hearty breakfast and carving my sword. 

DM: Mind repeating that last part? 

Musashi: I take an oar from the ship that brought me here and I carve a training sword out of it. 

DM: Musashi, you picked the Samurai class. You have a perfectly good katana right there. 

Musashi: Nah, I wanna mess with this guy more.

DM: long suffering sigh

A Superman short story by Scott Kurtz and Karl Kerschl (September 2, 2021)

In 2013, Scott Kurtz tweeted randomly that he had written a short Superman story. He asked if anyone wanted to take a crack at illustrating it. I said yes. Scott sent me his short script and it was great. It captured the simplicity and positivity that I always long for in a Superman story, and it was only five pages long! I started drawing it in my spare time and finally got around to finishing it eight years later. ~ Karl Kerschl

To those of you who aren't in the Portuguese speaking sphere, let me give you a hilarious update. Parents in Portugal are currently HORRIFIED because their children are now only speaking Brazilian Portuguese from watching so many Brazilian YouTubers. They are finding this deeply disturbing and want the Brazilian Portuguese to end IMMEDIATELY

There are NEWS articles about this

Translation:

"Luccas Neto (Brazilian YouTuber) is accused of making Portuguese children talk like Brazilians"

"Luccas Neto, who just celebrated his son Luke's first birthday, is becoming the target of criticism among some Portuguese families. The reason? Luccas Neto has become such a success that Portuguese children are starting to talk like Brazilian people.

That's right: the little ones have lost the characteristics of their local dialect and adopted the speech of the 29 year old YouTuber, who was born in Rio de Janeiro.

'All of his speech is Brazilian. We've reached the point where people ask if one of us parents is Brazilian,' said an interviewed mother, who said her son now frequents speech therapy sessions."

"Other parents who spoke with the Portuguese newspaper revealed they don't leave their children alone with tablets or phones, especially when they watch Luccas Neto.

'At this moment we're in a phase of treatment like it's an addiction. We explain everything to him, that he can't watch this because it's harmful. And we notice that he's much better now. What we're trying to do now is play with him more, and block some content, leaving only Netflix and everything that's in Portuguese from Portugal.'"

@homo-sex-shoe-whale i hadn’t thought of this but you are absolutely right
