Halloween is over. Put away your bog witch and get your bog himbos out.

“Bimbo (bog himbo)”

oh my god it’s laika day everyone drop what you’re doing… we honour a little dog who was sent up into space 65 years ago today. she was found as a three year old stray mongrel wandering the streets of moscow. her ability to endure hardy conditions got her chosen as the candidate for a journey she was never meant to survive. she passed away seven hours after liftoff. I hope she died dreaming of chasing rabbits up in the stars I love u laika forever and ever

Never forget, she was loved

She was not killed as an act of cruelty, or simply neglected. People cared about her, and the many space dogs who survived proves it

She was loved

great ritual for honoring Laika's memory (from another thread)

fat people are allowed to be fat even if they don’t starve themselves or push themselves physically past their limits btw

adding my tags cuz i think they’re important

Edit: to clarify, if you enjoy ANY form of horror (such as monstrous, analog, slasher, comedy, gore, etc.) that counts as a yes! This poll is supposed to be broad. It’s purpose is to understand how many queer people (that this is able to reach) enjoy any type of horror. So even if you like one type of horror but dislike another, please click yes!

This is for a student-written article! Please reblog for a larger sample size!

great news, one of the books I was looking for arrived today and it has a whole section on pre french revolution book piracy and the thriving trade in hiding and trafficking banned literature.

people used to mule illegal books through the mountains, and many contraband smugglers refused to carry them because, unlike drugs or guns, if you were caught with proscribed literature you could be executed or (worse) sentenced to hard labour until you died

okay! the hazardous and expensive contraband mule strategy was only for the really hot titles that were considered to promote outright treason or blasphemy. most banned literature at the time was actually sold under the counter by mainstream publishing houses, and was incredibly popular and profitable.

publishers around europe would trade inventories of the books they produced to maintain varied inventories they could sell to clients. e.g. publisher A prints thousands of copies of a hundred french titles, publisher B prints thousands of copies of a hundred german titles, they do swapsies, now they both have a range of 200 titles to trade. this applied to banned books too, and the banned books had higher market values due to the additional complications involved in production and shipping — one proscribed book might be worth 2-4 legal books, depending on the heat and the relationship between the publishers.

this trade was kind of an open secret, mostly conducted using code words and tricks like stuffing a crate with safe books on top and illegal works on the bottom or hidden in the packing materials. clients who ordered banned books from their local booksellers would often include that part of the order as a separate, unsigned slip of paper that could be disposed of after reading. sometimes they would make special requests for discreet packaging — one surviving letter asks for a fake receipt to be made out for legal books, so that the customer could get them past the finance department at work. another fun trick was 'larding', where loose leaf pages of the illegal books would be tucked between pages of respectable volumes. one client asked their bookseller to send a quantity of banned pornography larded inside religious texts.

being such a profitable trade, of course there were corrupt inspectors involved too. certain publishers and booksellers had networks of friendly agents who would let their shipments pass through inspection for a cut of the take. this would sometimes mean sending books by weird circuitous routes around europe to make sure they passed through friendly hands and got their stamp of approval before finally making their way back to the client.

I'm still reading on a lot of this and waiting for some other second hand texts to get to me, but every new thing I learn is improving my life and brain x1000

btw the moral you should take from all this is that the modern publishers and institutions who are currently shaking and shivering and peeing as they cut books on race relations and lgbtq+ topics from their catalogues are uniquely craven and pathetic and would be looked upon with scorn and derision by their forebears throughout human history.

my old man dog isn't great at hopping up on the couch anymore but he CAN do it and he will NOT accept help. it's almost adorable except when he just stands in front of me and barks at me to get out of "his" spot so that i'll stop what i'm doing, get up off the couch, and watch as he spends 5 minutes hyping himself up to jump into my newly vacant seat

"just don't sit in his spot" no you see he doesn't have a spot. any spot that i am currently sitting in becomes his spot. in this man's eyes i do not sit on the couch for my own pleasure, i merely use my ass to warm up the cushion for him. and i can't say no because like....... look at him

everyone who's reblogging this without the picture of my handsome boy needs to STOP and reblog this version instead. gaze upon him. show him to your followers. i command thee

Literally serving cunt

I don't think there's ever been a funnier piece of lore in a video game then the etymology of the word "gun" in FFXIV

@wibbley-wobble So in XIV lore there was a queen named Gunhilder who ruled a country that was conquered by the big bad guy nation, galemald, and she had a royal guard called “gunhilder’s blades” who fought with swords that had triggers on them and were used for channeling magic, and these were called gunblades after the royal guard, When garlemald conquered bozja they copied the design of their swords but garleans can’t use magic so to adopt their fighting style they switched to a mechanical design that used black powder. Later on firearms were developed off of this concept and since they were “gunblades without the blade” people started calling them guns.

masterpiece world building actually

you know what's even better? that lore is a magicalized remix of the word's irl etymology and i think that's brilliant

Oh. it’s just real. It was really that silly.

extremely fucked up that the only way out is through
