"hey why are all the barrier garments like linen shirts or chemises or combinations going away?"
"oh we have more washable fabrics now! you don't need to worry about sweat reaching your outer clothing when you can just chuck it in the washing machine!"
"cool!"
[100 years later]
"so uh all of those new washable fabrics are leaching microplastics into our water, and the constant machine-washing wears garments out faster. they're also not really sturdy enough to be mended, so we keep having to throw them out and now the planet is covered in plastic fabric waste that will never break down. also it turns out that the new washable fabrics hold odor-causing bacteria VERY well. so could we get those barrier garments back please?"
"sorry babe linen now costs $100000/yard and since it's been so long without them, nobody knows how to adapt barrier garments to the current styles anyway"
"..."
"maybe try this new $50 undershirt made of Special Sweat-Wicking Plastic Fabric! :) :) :)"
#fashion#clothing#modern clothing is NOT practical. it may seem like it on the surface but we've moved so far from#actual practicality that if you take one step out of the system it breaks down#and we need to change the entire system for our own health and the good of the planet#I'm not saying everyone has to dress full historical stylistically! but. we need to bring back some TECHNOLOGIES our ancestors used

there’s death of the author and then there’s whatever the fuck is up with danny phantom
#danny phantom#death of the author#most of the lore is fan made#a decent chunk of the fandom hasn’t even seen the show#one of the most beloved side characters isn’t an actual character#because we made him up based on a like 2 second clip#he’s not even the only widely accepted fan made character#because we spawned more from him#and we ba sing se-ed ourselves about phantom planet#dannypocalypse is also a thing#it doesn’t have anything to do with death of the author#but it’s important to me that we’ve pulled off a successful fandom apocalypse#every year since i think 2017

Jesus imagine if we confirm the existence of extraterrestrial life the Taxonomy would be insane
#what would that field of study be called. Xenobiology?#edit im not rewriting all this but apparently xenobiology is already an existing term for something else so. thats stupid#wed have different kingdoms too beside animalia fungi and those others like whole new kingdoms!!#would we lump all et lifeforms into one kingdom despite them coming from different planets (kinda like the Carnivora thing. a bit)#just to come to the conclusion that thats stupid#Another edit i meant carnosauria. not carnivora#idk man its such an interesting concept to think about#what would the confirmation of et life mean for biology as a field of study#>1k

I think the Ratiorine fandom really moved on too fast from the fact that Hoyo chose "charming audacity" and "dear gambler" as the first words players would hear from Ratio to Aventurine. Not the second scene. Not the third. The very first sentence players ever hear between those two.
And you know what, we also moved on much too quickly from the next scene too. Ratio was the one to start the whole "Aventurine is a peacock" thing. Why are you sitting around thinking about what alien animals your coworker reminds you of, Veritas? The joke is supposed to be that peacocks are noisy, but then they just drop that like a hot rock so the camera can do a slow pan on Aventurine's chest and Ratio can comment on Aventurine's clothing choices. Since when does Dr. Ratio care what people wear? Why were you looking?! Fellas, is it gay to compare your partner in crime to the symbol of male beauty???
#honkai star rail#ratiorine#aventio#dr. ratio#Aventurine#everyone makes such a big deal#of the bickering over Aventurine's backstory scene#and not enough deal over the fact that#Ratio is basically running his mouth#and nonsense is coming out every time he talks to Aventurine#Ratio dominates every other conversation he's been in#but Aventurine sasses him one time#and Ratio is suddenly channeling Alhaitham's fifth grade-level comebacks#I'm amazed he didn't hit Aventurine with the famous#“You're going to devolve into a fungus” line#“You dress like a peacock” is not the insult you think it is Ratio#plus#we have no evidence Aventurine has ever even seen a peacock#“Your clothes are highly reminiscent of this random alien creature from a planet you've never even been to”#Aventurine who just picked his fit because he likes teal: 🧍🏼

(Killie the jockey OC and his coworkers)





(Killie is absurdly strong! but also - this is important, listen up, Rossa - the instructions are written on the cap)
(As a dual champion flat and jump jockey, Killie is capable of opening jars and also immune to the lure of the single grape)
#Killie#jockeyposting 🏇#pippa knows his first name of course. they actually dated for a bit. it wasn’t super successful and it was making their parents#way too happy.#and apart from the job and the horse obsessions and sharing the same shoe size they didn’t have much to say to each other.#well. Killie doesn’t say much generally. but they both deserved better. and the forward momentum was definitely pushing them rapidly towards#Marriage and Kids (two to four exquisitely tiny jockey babies)#Killie thinks Pippa’s probably mad at him for the breakup#but actually she has a lot of respect and affection for him which is good because he broke up with her by going#HI. CAN WE BREAK UP PLEASE. and she asked why and he just 😟 at her with absolutely no answer at all while she got stressed#and then recalibrated to Planet Killie and asked Do You Want To Break Up Killie? and he said YES in tremendous relief#Any Particular Reason Killie? NO#SORRY#Don’t Worry About It. Thank You For Telling Me.#in another world Cillian and Philippa have a princess/knight dynamic but the roles of who is princess and who is knight#are extremely unclear. also both of them are the horse.#Pippa is annoyed by the Pip nickname but Rossa (Irish pronunciation a bit like ROE-sha) prefers Ross as a nickname because it’s less rosy#and while its traditional for male jockeys to have diminutive names like Ruby and Franny and so on#Rossa feels he has troubles enough.#maybe when he’s a champion.#Rossa and Pippa are hurtling towards dating and both are annoyed by this.#and both of them like Killie a lot#and Killie suspects they are hunting him for sport 😌#other details: Pippa and Rossa are wearing the large unisex colours that are kept for whatever jockey is riding for whatever owner#while Rossa is tall he’s narrow and Pippa is a small woman so the unisex one-size-fits-all silks are a bit big on them and are tucked in#and have hair elastics at the wrists to stop them being#too baggy and Pippa’s folded the sleeves back before securing them. but Killie#as we know is the prince of a rotten little dynasty and special pet of a mad billionaire owner#and he belongs to that stable and has his own silks which fit him. god bless.

Until then, I remain. Long John Silver.
#black sails#we joke about silver's insane monologues about flint being some kind of sea god creature but flint WAS putting a curse on silver here#binding him to that island#something something the love was there but it wasn't enough it will never be enough etc.#CJ's edits#song is Past/Present Suite by Nicholas Brittell#i know hook is a different character but he was heavily inspired by silver from treasure island. and it fits my theme. let me have this#john silver#treasure island#treasure planet#peter pan#peter pan (2003)#captain hook#long john silver#james flint#silvermadi#silverflint#jack rackham

One of my biggest pet peeves is the justice league being labelled as " The Avengers of DC" and its like. No? The avengers are law enforcement. The Justice League are volunteers
#its like -- captain america is the staple of US military and Superman is a public servant#the one avenger member who has no bounds or legal obligation is tony and its bc hes rich. you could argue that he actually lost#autonomy when shield recruited him because like. protection isn't necessary tied to 'good.' the avengers protect the planet bc sure#its what they believe in and feel like its their duty and yada yada but ultimately they're self serving and most of their#help is accidental. i say most of bc we've seen they abstain from getting involved unless they have a common interest#with dc its like. you have these people in a position of privilege (having superpowers -- which gives them a spot of advantage to ppl who#dont have it) who do the right thing because they WANT TO. and they can stop at any time because nothing stops them.#they COULD say 'yeah you're on your own. we don't really care anymore. duces!' but they Dont.#because through its many flaws dc realizes that goodness isn't only a choice -- its a responsibility#theres probably better ways to say this but. alas#batman#superman#wonder woman#green arrow#aquaman#the justice league#tjl#justice league#dc#dc comics#text#text post

Someone remind me to make a post speculating on how the loss of Riis fucked up Eliksni biology (and how the stress of being in Sol might have caused even more problems on an epigenetic scale) when its not late as shit bc the more I think about it the more and more horrified I get
#im an evolutionary biologist working in a behavioral genetics lab#the developmental delays imposed through stressors are something a lab member studied that i may take up#and brother. hoooly shit#if we have developmental delays in mice from limited bedding/nesting#then what tf happens when an ENTIRE PLANET vanishes???

#shitpost#twst#twisted wonderland#rook hunt#twst memes#theyve never said that they HAVE or HAVENT been to the moon to my knowledge#but speaking as someone from a planet that has sent people to the moon. we dont talk about it enough!#i feel like it's something i take for granted. that a society with advanced technology would go to the moon#should i take it for granted? did they have a cold war that spurred leaps and bounds in astrophysics?#did they have an operation paperclip to steal rocket scientists who proved themselves in a past war?#does twisted wonderland have nukes?!#does the existence of magic in twisted wonderland prevent the need for the developments that lead to the creation of nukes?!????#fuck. i wish i knew every vignette and event. i need DATA

#eastern europe#as years go by and i go through my own experiences i feel this more and more#it's either this or the bizarre exoticization when they treat us as though we landed from a different planet

You know what we should bring back?
Older christianity. I mean the anti government, anti military, community based christianity. The one that cared the most about peace, equality, mercy, kindness, and radical love. The one with shared property. The one that didn't conform to society but instead existed mostly outside of it. The one where noone considered one sin worse than another because in the end, we are all sinners trying our best to be better.
#“progressive christians are ignoring the bible except for ”love thy neighbour“���#yeah well LOVE OVER VERSES#quit it. im tired of this. just. can we just be nice to everyone?? please?? peace and love on planet earth??#“being gay is a sin tho” “wow this is so immodest” do i look like i care? does jesus look like he cares? i dont think so.#go stab out your eye or smth if you wanna live by the law so badly huh???#funny how suddenly it isnt literal and shouldnt be done because humanity learned and grew since that was written#*points to the verses used to justify homophobia* i mean literally this whole concept changed since then it isnt even the same thing#screaming at the top of my lungs while punching the wall like please please dont cherry pick the bible#“*blank* is a sin” do you like seafood tho?? is your clothing from mixed fabrics?? did you shave??#im just saying that maybe you should let the spirit guide you instead of following the law blindly. what do i know tho. im just a stranger.#queer christian#progressive christianity#i guess??#my religious rants#leftist christianity? anarchist christianity? i do not know??

I know for a fact I've talked about the golden records, but I don't care because here is a sample of some of my favourite greetings on those discs



There is something so vulnerable, precious, and human about sending up pieces of our hearts into space. Even when we know that there may not be anybody out there to hear us, we are still whispering to whomever might listen how much we love them, how much we want to connect. No matter how small the chance is, we're taking it to say that love is real, that we are real.
How is that not something to be in awe over?
#positivity#golden record#though it's been forty-seven years since launch both voyagers have just barely left our solar system#they are between 12-15 BILLION miles away from us#that's 20-24 BILLION kilometers away#i cant go to the club i need to cry uncontrollably about this#love is real#this is why i can never seriously consider apathy to be a poignant commentary about human nature#we never HAD to include this stuff - evidence of our love to completely inconceivable peoples#in fact if we learned anything from scifi maybe it would have been better for us not to say anything at all - to lead other life RIGHT TO US#but we couldn't shut up for five minutes to not say how much we love them and our planet and how enthusiastic we were that we MIGHT be found#we couldn't stop our hand from putting in *so much* effort for the 0.000000001% chance there's Something out there...#...for the chance that that 'something' will even be ABLE to retrieve AND understand our message of love#we absolutely need more golden records <3#to love something without even knowing anything about it .... there's nothing like that in the world#because i love whatever's out there. i think about them so often. i'll unironically pray for their health and safety#do they eat enough? do they look at the stars with wonder too? what's it like to breathe their air? do they know they're loved?
