are we ignoring both of the penises, or…..?

Pilots drawing things with flight paths is a niche interest but a fucking fantastic one. Boeing Dreamliner 18-hour test flight.

I’m just happy that the pilots out there have this kind of precision.

Oh I thought some pilot was doing this to some poor passengers who just wanted to go from Chicago to LA or something and then I scrolled up and saw it was test pilots.

“And if you look out the left window, you’ll see the same mountains again, but from a slightly different angle.”

ancient greek word of the day: κακοθερής (kakotherēs), unfitted to endure summer heat

this literally means “bad at summer” pass it on

Reblog if you, too, are bad at summer

I can wait for you at the bottom,

I can stay away if you want me to

i had a dream that time travel was invented and too many people choose to travel back in time to save the titanic from sinking (the question of whether unsinking of the titanic deserved so much attention in the face of human history was the subject of both heavy academic and online discourse), which caused a rift in the space-time-continuum that led to the titanic showing up indiscriminately all over the world’s oceans and sea in various states of sinking.

this caused a lot of issues both in terms of fixing said space-time-continuum and in terms of nautical navigation, and after a long and heavy battle in the international maritime organization it was decided that the bureaucratic burden of dealing with this was to be upon Ireland, much to their dismay. the Irish Government then released an app for all sailors and seafarers so they could report titanic sightings during their journeys, even though they heavily dissuaded you from reporting them given the paperwork it caused.

anyway i woke up with a clear image of the app in my head and needed to recreate it for all of you:

no you don't understand. i do international regulation of emerging technologies for a living. this WAS me stress dreaming about work

this might be slightly controversial but i really hate how bioessentialism has dug it's claws in trans spaces. we used to prioritize individual identity but now it's like afab and amab are the new mbti. yall put it in your fucking bios

this!!! this is exactly what i mean. when i first started interacting in queer spaces online the joke that would never not be funny was the "your gender is what's in your pants" "well then my gender is ___ <- removing something weird from their pants". i vividly remember a tiktok in which a person took out a whole ass live CHICKEN from their pants for this joke. it was ongoing and sure we've all seen it before but it was funny still. because it was born from this mutual understanding that what is in our pants, our biological sex, the sex we were assigned at birth, none of that made any impact in our IDENTITY. in who we ARE. like of course it was and still is super important in some specific contexts but online? interacting with strangers? why would it? i remember when asking what's in a person's pants was a cis thing to do that we mocked it relentlessly because we wanted it to die.

now we go online and we ask each other "oh your pronouns are he/him? but are you amab or afab?" and no one seems to think it's weird??????? what happened??????

Still remember when a homo- and transphobic acquaintance tried to bring up JKR’s views on trans people in conversation and I shut it down with «oh yeah she’s been saying a lot of dumb shit on Twitter after she finished writing Harry Potter, like when she claimed Dumbledore was gay, just to be politically correct», which made it absolutely impossible for him to admit that he agreed with anything JKR had ever said. Sometimes you just have to weaponise people’s homophobia against their transphobia.

Other ways to stop family members/acquaintances from going on bigoted rants:

The point is that I’ve used all of these in various contexts and they’ve saved a good number of dinner table conversations from derailing into pointless debating. You don’t de-radicalise friends and family members by entering into political discussions they initiate just to stir up shit. You de-radicalise them by shifting the focus away from their shitty opinions and onto the things you have in common and the practical everyday stuff that exists outside their internet echo chambers.

i feel like i'm watching a car crash in slow motion

i saw the cutest pair on their way to the dumpster this morning, they looked like this:

Something is happening here

i’m spending today thinking about how saber toothed cats ALSO probably had a potato form.  how they also had a stage where they were fat little babies with very triangle tails and tiny squeaky voices.  how they also probably play wrestled and failed badly at calculating jumps.

i’m going to fistfight god for killing them off before i could personally see fat potato saber kittens

I keep seeing people use this image as a reaction to people's original posts:

Which I think is really incorrect, because with an original post they haven't come up to ur window, u've come up to their window.

So I made this, as a more accurate reaction for original posts:

I just realized with the leviathan anime, if they get to adapt behemoth, we may finally get AMVs set to Istanbul (Not Constantinople) by TMBG

Among the reasons why Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is the best Star Trek is that the outfits look like they were designed by a competent costume designer who had been given a pile of the world’s most miscellaneous fabrics and told that if they didn’t use it all up by sunrise, Rumpelstiltskin would take their firstborn child.

Every time this post comes by my dash I’m forced to inform everyone who hasn’t seen the show that Rumpelstiltskin was in fact on DS9 (in season 1 even) and almost did that to O'Brien

what a deal.

And then your hip would break because their medical staff is garage and they don’t have the same regulations as over so no you’re back to square one you fucking tool

that is american propaganda used to justify their lack of a working healthcare system. it’s not true and even if it was what good would having slightly better healthcare do if it’s only accessible by the richest members of society?

You absolute fucking clown. Lmao

Damn. Spains healthcare sure isnt garage like they said

God Americans are so fucking brainwashed like seriously imagine thinking a first world country in Europe of all places is medically inferior, the patriot brain rot is strong

The rich have spent the entire history of the United States selling the lie of American exceptionalism to the population in order to keep fleecing the brainwashed and stop us from correcting their corruption.
