I agree with the ethereal space jelly

We need to stop the doomerism. We need to STOP IT. It doesn't help drive activism or awareness. It makes people hopeless and anxious and LESS LIKELY to engage.

So don't DO this please.

one of the most enlightening realizations ive had was finding out that non-24 hour circadian rhythm people were a pretty large group and most of us have oddly similar cycles of usually around 28hr internal "days" and this masquerades as "insomnia" but if allowed to sleep and wake naturally we will just advance forward through time an extra 2-4 hours a day at a relatively stable pace. we can't go to school or jobs or even run errands on normal schedules without massive pharmacological and behavioral intervention. most of the people who have been diagnosed or figured it out themselves will report horrific, life-ruining disruption in their professional lives and terrible health from accrued lack of sleep. this disorder is most common in vision-impaired people which seems to suggest it's related to light cues. anyway just thinking about this as extremely loud yard work woke me up at 8am for the second day in a row

lot of people reblogging this identifying themselves in it so i wanted to give you a link to a more detailed desription of Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder, and mention theres a similar disorder called Delayed Sleep Phase disorder where you are on a regular 24 hour cycle but you naturally get sleepy around 3-4am every day and wake up around 10am-12pm (roughly). as far as i can tell, despite the widespread nature of both these disorders, its basically impossible to get diagnosed bvecause sleep medicine is probably the single most useless specialty and if you dont have sleep apnea they dont want to hear about it.

this got 14k because Tumblr is absolutely a self-selected population of people with the worst sleep disorders you can possibly imagine

Here's a thought

God appears, says you're gonna meet the love of your life, but first you have to have a threesome with Lucifer and the Pope

Who's going in the middle?

Good Omens (possibly) unpopular opinion

Do you know what is a peak irony in this fandom?

When a person vehemently condemns Aziraphale's black-and-white approach to morality and rhapsodizes how sage Crowley is for his nuanced shades-of-grey outlook when the evident reason this person sympathizes with Crowley so much more is because he and his circumstances are more black-and-white and easy to judge while Aziraphale's case is far more complex and challenging to evaluate, with blurred lines everywhere.

This was supposed to be a paragraph in a longer meta but I decided to post it separately anyway.

Someone finally said it. THISSSSS.

@badaziraphaletakes more like #badass-aziraphaletakes

Ooh this is top-quality stuff

#BadassAziraphaleTakes

Also. I'd like to add that black and white thinking is something that autistic people struggle with even if and when they challenge those thinking patterns.

This is not something Aziraphale (or other people) can change. It's inherently fundamental to him(and us) as a character. It's going to be something that is prevalent throughout his entire story. And the sooner people accept that black and white thinking (and autistic traits in general) aren't evil, the sooner the fandom as a whole can work towards being open and accepting.

There's a reason that all the "good guys" in GO exhibit big and easy to identify emotions. There's a reason Aziraphale is giddy and Muriel is kind and Crowley is calloused with an ever changing voice. Because the people that Aziraphale chooses to surround himself with are easy to read. He's taught himself on their mannerisms and they his. They're familiar with one another and fit together like a puzzle. Two distinctly different pieces, but still very clearly belonging to the same place. Not like the white nothingness and straight faces of Heaven. An impossible, colorless puzzle he never had the chance to figure out.

This is why climate change isn't just an environmental issue. It's a social issue, a cultural issue, and a legal issue. It's inextricably tied to capitalism--a system where the affluent are permitted to buy an unnecessary convenience simply because they're affluent enough to pay for it.

Am I saying it should be illegal to own and operate private jets? I don't know. Maybe I am. Seeing this obscene amount of carbon emission for one stupid football game sure makes me think it's irresponsible for private jet ownership to be allowed by a nation.

1 hour ride 4lbs carbon emissions.

1 hour private jet 2 metric tons(1000 kg/2'205 lbs) carbon emissions.

How many jets flew Vagas to LA and other US and international locations both ways?

And these fucks say its our fault.

I so torn on this I need some input. Do you guys think that Steve rogers reliving his whole life after endgame was justified? Was it even in character?

Not only is it unjustified but it's shit writing.

Steve proved time and time over he is the opposite of selfish and he always puts others first in every movie. This isn't something that burdens him, it's just how he works.

Morally, Steve would have never gone back. Why?

• Peggy was married and never says 'she wishes it was him' she lived a happy life. She had kids. Steve had no right to do what he did, he never would have gone back simply based on principal alone.

• He loves Bucky. In whatever light you choose to view it in, he does. And not only would he never leave Bucky after fighting tooth and nail for him in 3 movies, but he would not be able to live knowing Bucky is activity out being tortured by hydra in that time line.

•Realistically he didn't even love Peggy. He knew her for two weeks, at most he had a crush. And Marvel reaaallly heavy hands the Peggy shit in endgame before he goes back and you can tell they're trying to make up for lack of it not being in earlier movies.

•Reiterating Steve fought for Bucky for THREE MOVIES.

Steve just wouldn't have gone back period if they kept him in character. It makes me so mad that they think that would ever be a good ending.

What I think about too is he pretty consistently talks about how no one understands him or his experiences but as if Peggy would understand anything he's been through in modern day after going back to the 40s?

You know who does understand? Bucky.

Can you feel me seething through your phone screen

He COULD have lived a good life in the modern day, a good relaxing life. But honestly that's not what Steve wanted anyway, he didn't want to retire. I cannot imagine Steve seeing something bad happening and just turning a blind eye BECAUSE HE COULDN'T. THATS NOT WHO HE IS.

Marvel ruined the decade-long character arc of Steve Rogers and it ruins me to no end.

all of this! steve’s ending is a complete disservice to his character, and not just his mcu version. marvel establishes steve’s entire core being is always standing up for what’s right and never backing down. not only is him giving up his mantle in this way antithetical to his character but it goes against the purpose of his inception as well. steve being dubbed the “man out of time” doesn’t mean oh how sad this guy is from the past and now he physically can’t go back :(((

it quite literally means that he doesn’t belong in ANY time. yes he doesn’t completely fit into the present day because he was born in the past with a completely different set of societal rules and experiences. but the 20th century was never home to him either, that’s literally the whole point of catfa. steve’s society is one that is hostile to him from his birth: he’s being raised in poverty by his widowed/single mother before he’s orphaned, he’s a creative during the industrial revolution that prioritizes productivity and monetization of labor and goods, he’s a catholic irish immigrant in a xenophobic protestant favoring country, and he’s disabled during the height of the eugenics movement and overlooked by the military due to physical limitations despite having all the qualities they could otherwise want in a soldier and a true willingness to serve when other men were being drafted against their will. cap’s character was also created by jack kirby in response to his readjustment to post war american society after the trauma of being a soldier during ww2, and the whole metaphor of his arc is that there is no going back now, so he has to find a way to adjust and learn to make the best of his circumstances to build a better future for everyone. sending him back to play house with a woman at the expense of her entire character arc real female writers fought for, when it meant abandoning his best friend who had been established to mean the most to him at the time he needed him most and breaking their lifelong vow, when it meant leaving behind his new best friend after he just came back to life, one who had sacrificed for him time and again, and dumping his responsibilities on him rather than repaying the favor, and causing steve to forgo all his core values which had a real life significance to his creator, is just poor writing and extremely disrespectful. especially since it was done out of convenience and, likely, homophobia rather than any real creative justification.

Context.

I hate seeing tweets like this because they all present the issue as "privileged cis people getting a taste of the trans experience and wanting out" instead of "intersex people being discriminated against" because the latter is what's actually happening. you cannot write a tweet like this and fail to acknowledge that these people are cis, yes, but they are also intersex and are being discriminated against because they are intersex.

intersex people and trans people should be holding hands on this issue and fighting for each other but perisex trans people continually erase intersex cis people from the discussion.

I'm literally begging y'all to use the word "intersex" when talking about this

Lovely when you're finizshing up paperwork, coming up with equationz to zimplify your livez with all the fucking reportz and zome duke* decidez to look you in the eyez and with no fear azk
