Living by the ocean is just like … she has brought me a gift today from beyond our shores, she is a kind and giving mother, and sometimes that gift is a giant wooden cross for some reason

Or a fucking Garfield phone

an entire wasteland of what are lovingly known as “penis fish”

Or a huge-ass prehistoric tree.

thank you mother ocean, we say from the bottom of our hearts: what the fuck.

I'm really gonna need y'all, specifically cis white goyische folk, to use your brains for a fucking millisecond and understand that TERFs aren't LITERALLY saying that trans people don't bathe.

It's a fucking goddamned Nazi dogwhistle and it isn't even subtle.

So to all the cis white goys who are like "apparently showering is a white supremacist concept now" please for the love of GOD stop being so fucking dense.

TERFs aren't LITERALLY referring to hygiene. They're implying that trans folks are so inhuman, so repulsive, that we should be treated as a totally different species from them, and that any association with trans people could "contaminate" the "purity" of cis folks.

It's horrifying. You should be horrified. And if you're not, I'm just gonna fucking assume you agree with them.

Douglas Adams is the best when it comes to describe characters

they need to teach classes on Douglas Adams analogies okay

“He leant tensely against the corridor wall and frowned like a man trying to unbend a corkscrew by telekinesis.”

“Stones, then rocks, then boulders which pranced past him like clumsy puppies, only much, much bigger, much, much harder and heavier, and almost infinitely more likely to kill you if they fell on you.”

“He gazed keenly into the distance and looked as if he would quite like the wind to blow his hair back dramatically at that point, but the wind was busy fooling around with some leaves a little way off.”

“It looked only partly like a spaceship with guidance fins, rocket engines and escape hatches and so on, and a great deal like a small upended Italian bistro.”

“If it was an emotion, it was a totally emotionless one. It was hatred, implacable hatred. It was cold, not like ice is cold, but like a wall is cold. It was impersonal, not as a randomly flung fist in a crowd is impersonal, but like a computer-issued parking summons is impersonal. And it was deadly - again, not like a bullet or a knife is deadly, but like a brick wall across a motorway is deadly.”

And, of course: “The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.”

the one that will always stay with me is “Arthur Dent was grappling with his consciousness the way one grapples with a lost bar of soap in the bath,” i feel like that was the first time i really understood what you could do with words.

I will reblog this every time I see it because these are some of my favorite sentences in the English language.

“sure, not all black people, but a lot of black people, and we have no way of knowing which ones.”

This is exactly how you sound.

“sure, not all muslims, but a lot of muslims, and we have no way of knowing which ones.”

lettuce consult the fbi data:

Of the 1,864 women murdered in 2010, 91% were killed by men. (by contrast, of the 3,872 men murdered, only 9% were killed by women). Of all the women murdered (by either sex), over a third were killed by a husband or boyfriend. women have legitimate reason to fear men, even the ones they know. 

Of the 3,327 white people murdered in 2010, only 13% were killed by black people. 3% were killed by other or unknown races. white people do not have a statistically legitimate reason to fear other races.

women’s fear of men is based in reality, not bigotry. white people’s fear of other races is based in bigotry, not reality.

As WWII escalated, Lamarr was motivated to find a way to steer torpedoes by remote control using changing radio frequencies, which she called “frequency hopping,” so that the transmissions could not be jammed by enemies. 

She donated her patent to the U.S. government, but the Navy rejected her designs, convinced the mechanisms would be too large to fit into a torpedo. 

They responded with, “You should go raise money for the war. That’s what you should be doing instead of this silly inventing,” (which she did, raising war bonds by the millions). So she silently watched her invention become a reality under the credit of others and never made a dime from it. 

Over 50 years after her original patent, Hedy did FINALLY get some acknowledgment - even a few awards - but she didn’t show up to accept them. By then, botched plastic surgery made her very reclusive. She died alone in Florida at the age of 86. Her obituaries began with her beauty and made only brief references to the invention she had hoped would prove her mind was beautiful, too.

Today, frequency hopping is used with the wireless phones that we have in our homes, GPS, and most military communication systems.
