Staff here! Just wanted to share a doodle page and an update. Things in my life are pretty crazy as of late. I got married, and I’m currently suffering from Covid BUT despite all of that I’m trying to get back into the groove with these guys. Thank you all for your love as always!

Expect to hear from Mr. Peabody (and Sherman) very soon :)

I get it and the irredeemable media idea is silly but isn’t aot actual nazi shit?

lol aot has a lot of writing issues imo and some of the politics i find very messy and i think u can always come for it about the execution as well as how certain elements are integrated but i personally was always pretty ??? at some of the more extreme allegations i hear thrown at it in terms of its thematic core because it is hilariously and almost embarrassingly unsubtle about a lot of its messages. i also think people who try to read it as a 1:1 direct allegory for any conflict instead of something fictional that burrows elements from all over history (for better or worse) to convey its themes are gonna run into a lot of contradictions. and even the author was legitimately shocked at some of those interpretations (like early on the one claiming that the text was endorsing japanese militarisation while the titans represented china and north and south korea)

i think it should be engaged with critically and i think it fails at many things but im just glad that the 100% fascist chad eren dicksucker part of its fanbase was completely alienated by an ending that accentuated just how pathetic and childish he is

The funniest thing about Peabody's Improbable History is that Sherman just acts like a dog. Like, Mr. Peabody ( in the cartoon) says things like "shake hands, good boy" and Sherman dosen't mind at all. Unlike the movie, he was found as a kid at an orphanage, so it's not like he was raised this way. Also, he once gets a news paper with his mouth. We know it's not Mr. Peabody teaching him to do this because Mr. Peabody is upset with him for it. BTW TW for racism in this cartoon.

I swear we've had the same childhood. Obsessed with Narnia and the world building, obsessed with Tolkien, listen to Red, etc. I know these aren't rare things, but the stuff you put in the tags of that Narnia post is exactly what went on in my head as a kid??? Like I read CS Lewis's biography when I was 11. I dunno. Maybe it's a bit weird but I'm kind of getting emotional cause we've never met in person and we've connected cause of one thing (Sleep Token) but there's also a huge shared love of these things as well???

Anyway. Sorry to ramble in your inbox haha ♥️

🥹🥹🥹 Omg Kay stop, now *i* am getting emotional too 🥺💙

But you're so right!! Like you said, it's not like these are super niche, underground media but the way they are connected and, specifically, the way we interact and perceive them are so oddly similar - it's amazing really. And not just this but so many other little things that keep pilling up 🌛🌞🌿

I'd like to think we're kindred souls that somehow at last found each other, all thanks to that one weird english dude (affectionate) and his boyfriends 🫛✨

Something something when we where made it was no accident, something something we're two little mushies on the same mycelial network 🍄

There's been lots of questions about Wendel Wilkie lately so my question is if there are any good biographies about him, he sounds interesting

I think Wendell Willkie has received more mentions on my blog in the past few days than he has been mentioned in general in the past 80 years. But he IS genuinely interesting!

There is an excellent book about Willkie that was published in 2018 -- The Improbable Wendell Willkie: The Businessman Who Saved the Republican Party and His Country, and Conceived a New World Order (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) -- by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner David Levering Lewis, a master in the art of biography who is best known for his monumental books about W.E.B. Du Bois. It's a great story about a fascinating figure from 20th Century American politics who is often overlooked because his star burned so bright and fast, and the story is expertly told and meticulously researched by one of America's most legendary living biographers.

9/?? Childhood TV Shows You Should Watch

Title: Pebody's Improbably History

Note: [this is the original series that first appeared I know there is a newer one from netflix and of course the movie but that's not what this post is about]

Seasons: ?

Episodes: 91

Original Air Date: 1959-1961

Synopsis:

Peabody, is the smartest being in existence. In the first episode, Peabody meets an orphan named Sherman whom he saves from some bullies. He adopts Sherman after a court appearance that also involved him having to get the President and the government to help him out. Upon inventing the Wayback Machine, Peabody and Sherman meet various historic figures and help out with their plights.

My Rating: 8/9

My Reasoning:

So I personally have always had a liking towards history and learning about the past. So, this one gets an extra point for that. It also has that nostalgia and retro-type humor. I also feel like even though Peabody is a super smart character and everything he is also relatable too. It also has a lasting significance otherwise there wouldn't have been a movie plus a more recent series.

People ask me sometimes how I'm so confident that we can beat climate change.

There are a lot of reasons, but here's a major one: it would take a really, really long time for Earth to genuinely become uninhabitable for humans.

Humans have, throughout history, carved out a living for themselves in some of the most harsh, uninhabitable corners of the world. The Arctic Circle. The Sahara. The peaks of the Himalayas. The densest, most tropical regions of the Amazon Rainforest. The Australian Outback. etc. etc.

Frankly, if there had been a land bridge to Antarctica, I'm pretty sure we would have been living there for thousands of years, too. And in fact, there are humans living in Antarctica now, albeit not permanently.

And now, we're not even facing down apocalypse, anymore. Here's a 2022 quote from the author of The Uninhabitable Earth, David Wallace-Wells, a leader on climate change and the furthest thing from a climate optimist:

"The most terrifying predictions [have been] made improbable by decarbonization and the most hopeful ones practically foreclosed by tragic delay. The window of possible climate futures is narrowing, and as a result, we are getting a clearer sense of what’s to come: a new world, full of disruption but also billions of people, well past climate normal and yet mercifully short of true climate apocalypse. Over the last several months, I’ve had dozens of conversations — with climate scientists and economists and policymakers, advocates and activists and novelists and philosophers — about that new world and the ways we might conceptualize it. Perhaps the most capacious and galvanizing account is one I heard from Kate Marvel of NASA, a lead chapter author on the fifth National Climate Assessment: “The world will be what we make it.”" -David Wallace-Wells for the New York Times, October 26, 2022

If we can adapt to some of the harshest climates on the planet - if we could adapt to them thousands of years ago, without any hint of modern technology - then I have every faith that we can adjust to the world that is coming.

What matters now is how fast we can change, because there is a wide, wide gap between "climate apocalypse" and "no harm done." We've already passed no harm done; the climate disasters are here, and they've been here. People have died from climate disasters already, especially in the Global South, and that will keep happening.

But as long as we stay alive - as long as we keep each other alive - we will have centuries to fix the effects of climate change, as much as we possibly can.

And looking at how far we've come in the past two decades alone - in the past five years alone - I genuinely think it is inevitable that we will overcome climate change.

So, we're going to survive climate change, as a species.

What matters now is making sure that every possible individual human survives climate change as well.

What matters now is cutting emissions and reinventing the world as quickly as we possibly can.

What matters now is saving every life and livelihood and way of life that we possibly can.

Can we get Donnie with a breeding kink?!😩

WARNINGS: NSFW | 18+ | MDNI | F!Reader | Donnie is 27 and he wants to put a baby in you ♡ | Breeding | slight Edging | General verses

It amazes him how easily his mind spirals into anxiety when it comes to you. Every little measure has to be carefully calculated and framed to keep him from stumbling out of sync with you—especially with things like this, because, what if you don’t like it? Would you think he’s a weirdo for bringing it up?

Maybe he should let it happen naturally, Donnie thinks, without overanalyzing every detail. But frankly, the thought that he could put a baby inside you is utterly absurd. Improbable. Incoherent, even. Genetic and morphological differences are barriers one can't overcome. Yet… he can’t stop thinking about it.

The idea lodges itself in his mind and he can’t help but revisit it over and over, no matter how much he knows it doesn't make sense; and today, that's all he can think of as he pounds in and out of you, just the way he knows you like it. Steady, fast, hard. The lower half of his plastron grinding over your swollen clit as you cling to him. And he edges you, unable to shake the thought of his mind, not brave enough to let it seep through his mouth.

"Fuck, I wanna come," you manage through staggered breaths, "Please, please,"

He groans, feeling the electric bolts dangerously close to spreading. He grips the sheets, struggling to resist the urge to mention it, and then—

"Put a baby in me,"

It barely registers right after making him come hard and loud. He thrusts as deep as his cock can reach to unload one time after another. He's babbling something about it, but it sounds so choked by pleasure that even he can't discern what it is. He's lost in the sensation of your pretty pussy throbbing as you come with him, and it feels fucking blissful.

You take a few seconds to catch your breath.

"What- what was that? How…" he asks, a bit out of breath.

You let out a little, tired laugh. "I stumbled across your browsing history the other day. You were thinking too hard about it, don't you?"

He hides his face in the crook of your neck, the heat of embarrassment creeping up his neck. Ah, that's right… since you moved together, you use the same computer.
