My cast is off! In a splint now that I can take off to shower and stuff, thank fucking god
First thing I did after I got home was shower and scrub my arm to get all the nasty dead skin off.
SECOND thing I did was make myself a splint liner out of muslin because the weird elastic material stuff the physical therapist used was itchy as hell.
Arm is healing extremely well. Doctors are pleased.
Words cannot convey the utter and absolute bliss that is finally washing your body part after a month of it being in a fucking cast.
However, actually washing my hair with BOTH hands and not having to wrap one arm up in a trash bag and medical tape was a truly transcendent experience

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION ABOUT BISEXUALITY
that purple in the middle is not the right saturation, it doesn't fit with the other two colors and it drives me crazy.
all right, I think I got this, I've got dual citizenship and I have another flag we can borrow from:
step 1
step 2
step 3
This is true bi/ace solidarity.
holy shit
This is the only correct way
[Patchnotes]
- swapped purple in bisexual and asexual flags for better saturation matching and color theory

I was today years old when I found out that my state, the great state of mostly corn and hogs (Iowa) has possibly the single best civil war memorial statue in the entire world
This is her.
It's supposed to represent a young mother nourishing the union with the milk of liberty. It is very pro-union and was installed in 1894.
Tits out for liberty, baby.
Get on our fucking level, the rest of the country.
...Iowa state capital has a naked woman breastfeeding the union in public, but when an actual woman....
We also briefly had a statue of Baphomet in the courthouse.
you WHAT now?
I lived there for a decade how did I never see this statue
I've lived here since I was BORN and I just learned about her. Via a trip to Des Moines with my mom to pick up some bees from a lady she knows, and I found out by seeing the monument and frantically googling 'Des Moines Naked Woman Statue"
This is amazing
She’s not the only person getting her tits out for liberty.
Meet Liberty Leading the People (La Liberté guidant le peuple) by Artist Eugène Delacroix. It hangs in the Louvre. In the same room as the Mona Lisa. Which I think does it a disservice. It’s incidentally my favorite painting
You can learn more about it here:
This is also one of my favorite paintings!
I suppose I have a genre, and that genre is 'Tits out, kill your oppressors'

he’s so real for this
Directly after my arm checkup my poor dog had to go to the vet.
Nothing's wrong, it was just time for her vaccinations and checkup, which already got delayed a month because her original appointment was on the day that I ended up needing surgery.
The problem is that her vet is along the same route we drive to a local hiking trail that I frequently take her to to go jogging for a few miles, and so she was all excited right until we turned off into the vet parking lot rather than take the right to head over to the trail.
The look of absolute betrayal she gave me was Oscar-worthy.
(We went to the trail to walk after)

Oh my god, *please* live-blog/tell us what you’re thinking of worm as you read it, your opinion of almost everything changes so so much as you go through it.
Also, the one weird thing about worm is that, yes there’s plenty of fic on a03, but almost all of it started on, and a lot of never left, on space battles and sufficient velocity- forum sites. I have absolutely no idea why, but that’s just how it is. Also the writer ran a quest that got made canonical and it’s *weird*
So far I know that I would be weaving spidersilk FASHION BABY rather than worrying about bullies, but then she IS like 15.
Dubious that black widows have the best quality silk for weaving. I would be looking for orb weavers myself.
I also have question. Like, okay so clearly it works on insects and arthropods, but how specific is it? Like, is there just a level of brain complexity where it cuts off? Is it just invertebrates? How does her power decide it's gonna work on a spider but not on a hummingbird or mouse? Does it work on large mollusks like whelks?

Hey Tumblr, I hate doing this but;
Broke my arm recently. Need surgery on it. My out of pocket expenses are gonna be $4300, $2000 of which need to be paid prior to surgery. Which is (checks notes) tomorrow.
Literally anything you send my way would help.
Bringing this back because the first of my medical bills are coming in. I have insurance, thank god, but I live in America, the land of private insurance companies and have not yet met my deductible. Thus, I still owe, after assorted xrays, three separate casts, surgery, ect (checks notes) about $1700. I still have to go back for more xrays and appointments to monitor healing and to physical therapy once the cast comes off.
This is better than the $8700 my insurance company has so far been billed for, but still. Any help would be appreciated. Even if I can just pay off the $700 anesthesia (OUT OF NETWORK YAYYYY) bill that would really help.

Tim: A lot more.
Dick: Dami has recently decided to forget what the villains are called.
Jason: I- wait what?

Joker:
Joker: Wh-
Robin: You are Harley’s husband correct?
Joker: [furious] no!
Robin: My apologies then. I shall endeavor to use your proper name… … [frowning] Mrs? You are wearing make-up. Is that it? Mrs Quinzel? I did not mean to assume.
Joker: [frothing at the mouth]

[back at the meeting]

Dick: Actually, what ARE Joker’s preferred pronouns? Has anyone asked?
Jason: [munching down a power bar] It’s Fuckface McKidkiller

I love the point where Tolkien stops pretending he's writing a mid-20th century fantasy novel and just fully writes in Old English half-lines:
Still she did not blench: maiden of the Rohirrim child of kings, slender but as a steel-blade, fair yet terrible. A swift stroke she dealt, skilled and deadly. The outstretched neck she clove asunder, and the hewn head fell like a stone. Backward she sprang as the huge shape crashed to ruin, vast wings outspread, crumpled on the earth; and with its fall the shadow passed away. A light fell about her, and her hair shone in the sunrise.
There are 3-4 paragraphs like this. It's great.
