Miss Piggy's response to misogyny and fatphobia is physical violence and I think we should all take something from that

i drew this tiny turtle

he is a friend to everyone

everyone stop scrolling. there is a tiny friend-shaped turtle crossing your dash.

vegans annoy the shit out of me because i like tofu but it is impossible to find recipes for tofu that aren't all "ooh its vegan tofu you wont believe it's not real meat!" like i dont want tofu to pretend to be meat. i just like tofu.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

ok but give me one good reason why you wouldn’t date Kermit the frog besides that he is a puppet and a frog

“miss piggy would make it look like an accident”

This keeps going past on my dash and I can’t let it go any longer. It’s time to see the record straight.

Miss Piggy doesn’t have a subtle bone in her floppy felt body. There is no possible way she could ever make it look like an accident.

Miss Piggy would make you into an example.

I am a WHORE for “the love is requited, they’re both just idiots”

"I am ready to fall in love with any woman who wants to love me and isn't Anne Elliot," said Captain Wentworth, lying to both the audience and himself all at once

I’m pretty sure that Australians don’t have more then maybe 30-50k MAX people on tumblr. Like American had some 30 million users in 2020 (aka basically probably peak over the last 7 2018-2025) while Australia only has 26-28million people depending on who you ask (27 to be safe) so I’m just genuinely curious how many of us there must be on here.

If you Currently live in OR were born / raised in Australia and ID as (born/raised + ID, as I know a lot of born/raised here don’t ID as Aussie) you are Australian in this poll!

Please reblog for bigger sample size

Roll call

Doctor McCoy is actually a wonderful character.

The reason why is that he is not a paragon of virtue. He is not perfect. He is miserable in a utopia. Nonetheless, he is good.

Leonard H. McCoy is a fundamentally decent, altruistic person. He may not take bullshit, and he may speak his mind about everything, but at least he's honest. He's honest, and open, and endlessly compassionate. He has his own opinions, and he's definitely crustier than the other people he's around, but he's supremely human.

For a long time, I have tended to consider Spock my favorite character from TOS, but more and more, I think it might be Bones now. Bones is so absolutely integral to making that show as good as it is. You've gotta have Bones.

I can’t do this alone. I need you in command with me.

FINN AND POE DAMERON IN STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER Five Year Anniversary - December 19, 2019.

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating

@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally

Source (non Aboriginal)

And a quote I picked out from a longer interview with an Aboriginal local elder about the area where he touched on the history

Source (the rest of the interview is really interesting and all transcribed, have a look if you're curious)

This is part of my Ancient Civilizations class that I teach, which does a whole week about Australia and the Torres Strait Islands because I was sick of never seeing them represented in USAmerican history contexts. With the help of @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist I've learned so many incredible things about Australia's past and it's been incredibly rewarding to share them with students.

My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.

The story? 6 sisters running from something that took their 7th sister.

as a gilgar gunditj woman, i was not expecting to see my culture on my dash.

thank you for spreading our words and treating our culture with respect.

Boosting signal.

Echoes from the ancient human past, wonderful.
