fandom tumblr was another casualty of streaming services. we used to be on here posting about the episodes that were coming out weekly and posting gifs and writing insane shit about the tv shows we liked. now a new season of a show will drop and we’ll talk about it for a week. two weeks tops. and then that show will leave collectively conscious for 1+ year till the next season drops. there’s a reason succession sundays was a blast on here
we used to have real television
little guy is one sniff old and seeing so many wonderful things in this big and large world
Hold on i need to ask my friend Claudia, who is a college student and edits wikipedia something real quick...
THIS IS MY FRIEND CLAUDIA
hi everyone! that's me, I'm claudia :) absolutely gobsmacked to read the tags, much love to all of you. If you're a claudia, I'm starting a discord server for us, so get in touch! Also get in touch if you want to start editing Wikipedia :) I'd be happy to help you get started.
It's funny, the claudias represent some of my best and some of my worst work overall; I wrote most of them as a much newer Wikipedian, although works like Claudia Jean Cregg, Claudia Riner, and Claudia Meier Volk still hold up. Claudia Powers and Claudia Belk, less so. I'm planning on writing Claudia Kishi and rewriting Claudia Alta Taylor (aka Lady Bird Johnson) Some of my cooler non-Claudia works include Pronunciation of GIF, Capri-Sun (in collaboration with my awesome friend Tamzin), and Jon Stewart's 2004 appearance on Crossfire.
Also, Liz, Diannaa, PMC, and the Connecticut woman are extremely cool people who also deserve your thanks. in honor of this post, here are some more women on Wikipedia who are indeed extremely iconic:
oh, and proof that i'm me:
For the purposes of this poll please just stick to birth names! I'd like to do another poll for names people chose themselves later in life.
humans really went off with building on precipitous rock faces
Wishing all undiagnosed/partially diagnosed people a very doctors listening to you and providing you with more testing than a blood draw and even possibly providing treatment 2024
The last time we were on a long flight, my wife and I invented a game we call "Little Guy."
You start a game of Little Guy by saying, "I'm gonna hand you a little guy." The little guy is some kind of baby animal you are imagining. "Oh," she might say in response, "Okay," and hold out her hands for it. I will then mime handing her the animal. This provides some clues as to the little guy's size, weight, and general ungainliness.
She then gets to ask questions about what kind of little guy this is, BUT NO QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS ACTUAL APPEARANCE OR SPECIES ARE ALLOWED. Qualitative questions, or questions about his behavior, are the only ones permitted. She can ask "Is he soft?" or "Does he seem nervous about being held?" or "If I put him in the bathtub, does he seem okay with that?" or "Would he like a lil grape?" or "Is he the sort of little fellow who would wear a vest in a children's book?" but not "Does he have fur," "Is he a reptile," "Is he from Asia," etc. Some questions are in a grey area so you have to follow your heart, but the point is not to identify the animal as fast as possible: the point is to guess the animal purely based on vibes + how he would act if he were in your living room right now.
And I'm not limited to yes or no answers! If she asks, "Would it feel appropriate to see this little guy in a propeller hat?" I can reply, "Oh no, he has a gravity to him. A bowler hat would be a more appropriate hat." Or if she asks, "Does this little guy have protagonist energy?" I can say something like, "he probably wouldn't be the main character in a children's cartoon. He'd probably be the main character's ditzy best friend who's always eating sandwiches, or something."
We're big Twenty Questions to kill time in a waiting room people, but Little Guy is more about the journey than the destination. It's got a different kind of sauce that's nice if "killing time" and "lowering anxiety" need to happen hand in hand.
Reenactor throws a spear at a drone
What a time to be alive.
“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.
The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.
Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)
I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it
just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone
Everything about this post blesses those involved with a +4 on their next Today is Good Day roll
I crack up every time at seeing that runestone.
It’s crazy how low self-worth fucks with peoples lives
“What will I be if I don’t graduate/don’t get a promotion/don’t get my shit together/don’t make this relationship work?” You would be a perfectly normal human being who is inherently valuable and who possesses many talents and good traits
“What if I fail even when I tried my very best?” The world keeps turning and you will find many other things you will succeed at.
evangelical christians are missing out with the whole not believing in evolution thing, that shit's cool as fuck
like look at this shit
this is an example of what are known as homologous structures. because of the similarities in bone structure, it suggests that all creatures shown here have a common ancient ancestor
essentially these all have the same bones, but shifted, stretched, fused, and warped by evolution and time to serve the purpose the animal needed
and they all do have a common ancestor, as does all life on earth
look at this crazy ass tree showing EVERYTHING started as a teeny tiny ancient bacteria and evolved and grew over millions of years to fucking EVERYTHING, all life being connected to this singular point
idk abt you guys but to me that's cool as fuck and I hate that people don't teach it in schools based on what a book said
booping someone numerous times when they only booped you once feels like this
love when tumblr just randomly adds enrichment (new buttons) to our enclosures
