People on this site will ask "why don't more people ship this?" And I will say this in response. Missionaries do not simply "like" jesus' posts. They go door to door asking if we have heard of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Reblog to convert others it's really not that hard

[cauterisen]

with all that being said kimiko/finral makes so much more sense now

[romanceyourdemons]

the ending of videodrome (1983) is so rong xuancore if you think about it (<- a normal person would not think about this)

[aeide-thea]

i'm never knowingly going to reblog a post that includes the phrase 'touch grass,' and that's not because i don't think it can be psychologically beneficial to get in some outdoor time if possible—i went for a walk earlier! it was great!—or to take a break from conversations that are getting you wound up, but because i think that particular wording generally reveals two things:

first, that the writer is speaking not from a place of genuine concern and sympathy, but from judgmental impatience à la 'get therapy,' which—i too have felt judgmental and impatient in my time, god knows! but when i feel that way i try to go unpack those feelings in private with a thoughtful friend, instead of pretending they constitute a source of wisdom or a helpful sort of energy to direct at people, you know? and i'm definitely not particularly interested in boosting a ventpost from someone else—who pretty clearly hasn't bothered to take the breather they're urging on others, if they're making little digs like that—as if it were actually sincere, carefully-reasoned advice.

and second, that the writer's argument embraces some seriously sloppy assumptions, which pretty immediately undermines my trust in the rest of their analysis—i mean, there's absolutely no guarantee someone's local scene will be any less parochial, just because it's playing out irl! there's also not actually a clean divide between 'people who spend time in the Real World' and 'people who spend time on the internet, which is for porn losers,' as demonstrated by a number of phenomena including, again, the aforementioned grass-recommenders' own presence right here on tumblr…

anyway. obviously we all have our own particular lines we draw around particular rhetoric that bugs us! these are just some reasons why that particular phrasing bugs me.

Bill Weasely 🤝 Jacob : being tricked and used by Rakepick

[ameliafuckinjones]

If I said half the things I wanted to say about Canada and Americas relationship as siblings and neighbors, how they're ACTUALLY viewed by the world when it comes to international matters that are actually important (NATO, AUKUS, global economy, AI and tech companies, hegemony etc) and how it would be more interesting to explore aspects of their relationship as well as their relationship with the world that correlates with reality rather than this made up version that dominates the fandom... commie tumbler would hunt me down and kill me

y’all know how you follow really cool ppl and it’s like “wow you’re so cool I hope you never follow me/we don’t become mutuals because you’d find out i am entirely uncool and unhinged”

[solradguy]

You know, we all make jokes about Sol/Frederick and Jack-O'/Aria being married (myself included), but they never actually refer to Aria as Frederick's wife in Begin (or anywhere else, afaik) and definitely not with Jack-O' anywhere.

I think the closest they got with Aria has been 恋人 (koibito; lover/boyfriend/girlfriend), which was kinda tricky to render in English when it was used gender neutrally. I ended up translating it as "partner" at least once for the Begin translation.

i think one of the most attractive qualities someone can have is social/cultural literacy and i mean this both in terms of friendships and romantic partnerships. if you can make references on the fly to a decent range of material and know enough about the world around you to navigate most social spaces i want to know you

[somaligovernment]

Less than one day and people are already writing think pieces about the think pieces people have written about barbenheimer?? Not only have you failed to sit in the art you also haven’t sat in your own writing (an even worse transgression imo)

lax airport - remodeled wing has great new features such as

"giant touchscreens where, if you spend a good minute trying to prod the screen into responding, you can shakily scroll through every flight leaving the airport in alphabetical order but can't actually see what gate it's departing from, and where you can allegedly view all sorts of other information like maps of food and shops if you're willing to slap the screen long enough"

and "biometric boarding," where you MUST to stand on a circle and have your photo taken as you board to have it matched against your ID photo on record in a government database. allegedly US citizen photos are deleted within 12 hr but non-citizen photos may be held Longer. because you know, classically, the airport is devoid of any other checks of identity

and also chargers! there are more outlets now.

[guiltyidealist]

Anti-choice crowd seems to think "choice" = abortion and that's not what it is.

Freedom of reproductive health choice includes the unobstructed liberty to get pregnant -- to be pregnant, to stay pregnant, to not abort -- as much as it includes the unobstructed liberty to withdraw from pregnancy-- to not get pregnant, to not stay pregnant, to abort.

The right to have a baby is not under attack.

Choice doesn't mean the implementation of mandatory abortion. That contradicts the whole idea behind the freedom to choose whether or not to abort.

valefar is so incredibly fun to write because he's snarky and elegant and Ludicrously Professional At All Times and roasts like the best of them but also he absolutely laughs like a deadpan supervillain and is the cuddly little spoon for his husband and purrs nonsense when he's sleepy and absolutely absolutely has some sort of extreme debilitating undiagnosed anxiety disorder

i think people forget the whole world is made up of people. including the toddlers in power
