"we know how to move our bodies, but i didn't know how to manage my heart, so you need help for this"

hi we need to talk more about judo gold medallist christa deguchi.

I just saw a story about blind Paraolympics skiiers, and holy cow, that has got to be the closest thing to a Warder bond I have ever seen in real life. Racing down an icy hill with limited or no vision, relying completely on the guide in front of you to tell you (via headset) what to expect and how to move? I mean, the level of trust and communication required to not only do that safely but fast enough to win a medal is incredible.

Hats off to the people who are able to do this, you have my full admiration! ⛷️

i need to thank whoever came up with Oh. Oh. for what they've done for the English language.

the u.s.s. horrible unending nightmare 💥 (once again from the incredible @hehearse)

[sesamestreep]

I really feel like one of the best details in “A Scandal in Bohemia” that I never see people fixate on enough is that the story starts with Watson stopping in to see Holmes at Baker Street on a complete whim, because he happens to see that he’s home (and Watson is now married and living elsewhere). Like he doesn’t send word first, he’s not invited, he just shows up and surprises Holmes. Which is not that weird but then Holmes is like “oh good, I’ve got a case anyway, you might as well hang out!” which just makes it funnier when the King shows up and is like “I’d really rather speak to you alone, actually” and Watson tries to leave and Holmes is just like “anything you can say to me, you can say to my best friend John Watson, and if you ask him to leave, I would consider it a grave insult, you would be my enemy and I will not help you ever!!” And the king is like “…ok” and just moves on.

like, that is crazy behavior. Holmes is talking about how there’s probably lots of money in this case, and then almost turns away the client for…not knowing who the fuck Watson is?? He’s not even supposed to be there?? He just came to say hi?? “It is both or none”… girl, GET UP.

Happy pride month to this moment in Community

"The only Elucidated Brother to be away at the time was of the dragon was Brother Fingers. He'd been sent out for some pizzas. [...] When the guards rolled up just behind Eroll, Brother Fingers was standing with a stack of cardboard boxes in his hands and his mouth open. Where the dread portal should have been was a warm melted patch of assorted substances." (Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett)

Did Terry Pratchett predict the Community meme? Or was the Community meme simply inspired by Terry Pratchett? Either way, he deserves to be honored for doing it first.

real gay men in real life: buck and tommy both presenting as masculine, muscular men developing an intimate and vulnerable relationship that doesn't shy away from sexuality but instead embraces it proudly and without fear means a lot for representation. it's a good thing that these two have a realistic gay relationship that is both romantic and sexual, where they both feel they are able to openly make jokes and flirt with each other as this accurately depicts my experience as a gay man. as well, seeing non-queer men describe this relationship as bummy is very offensive and in my opinion homophobic and is incredibly tone deaf as it sounds eerily similar to gay slurs targeted at gay men to mock their sexuality. utilizing this homophobic speech is not productive and is way more harmful than you realize. please stop.

non gay men: THIS RELATIONSHIP IS TERRIBLE REPRESENTATION, MAKING DADDY KINK JOKES IS DISGUSTING AND TAKES AWAY FROM BUCKS VULNERABILITY, BUMMY BONES BUMMY BONES BUMMY BONES, YOU GUYS ARE FETISHIZERS

hell I am so excited for kitten updates you have no idea!!!! I hope the new foster litter is healthy and well

I need you to know that AGM Kimothy has been yelllllling until I come in and take a babysitting shift so she can go elsewhere in the room to nap. Domesticated cats are usually not fans of single motherhood if there's another mom around to coparent with, and I've just been pressganged into stepmotherhood.

She's off shift.

Paranoid selfshippers, your f/o(s) wanted me to tell you that it'll all be okay, that you're perfectly safe and they'll protect you from whatever you think might get you or whatever is troubling your mind.

I promise you, you're f/o(s) want to keep you safe and protected and want to make sure you feel comfortable and calm.

running a little late, but someone's finally arriving at the @kirbyoctournament !

sent in to the tourney by her well meaning friends, starstruck is a Totally Normal adult waddle dee from king dedede's kingdom of dream land! she's here to try and meet new people, and maaaybe get out of her anxious shell a little bit!

equipped with her customary cheerful attitude, she's also sporting a brand new backpack full of lovingly packed goodies to help her through the event.

if you'd like to get to know her a little better, you can check out her tag on my blog, or these three important comics from previously! lastly, you can find the masterpost for her interactive tournament adventure here! this is an ongoing chronological story (separate to her canon story, but referencing it) that will last for as long as she's in the tournament!

a few notes for any interactions

🌸 despite being a waddle dee, other waddle dees typically don't like being around her, and folks who already know what a waddle dee should be like also tend to get a weird vibe off her. 🌸 she is quite friendly and approachable, but prone to extreme anxiety if she perceives she might have done something wrong or inappropriate. tiny wanya takes criticism the way a handful of hay takes a flame. 🌸 if you have wings and you take her flying she'll never leave your side. she's only palm sized, so if you are big and have wings or can fly, please pick her up and go flying with her please please pleeaase she wants to go go flying and fawn over your wings so so bad 🌸 for the purposes of the tourney, which by merit of its existence is something of an au timeline, consider this event to completely predate her ability to summon these.

catching up on docs streams, and he's talking about religion/spirituality and how it guides people's beliefs etc. he mentions how (generally) people like to be outraged by things [that dont affect them], like who other people are, and then immediately says 'if you're lgbtq you'll know what im talking about'

and i absolutely do. and its so wild to me how he just. drops that in. then starts talking about how it shouldn't matter who you are, how you can still do be incredibly religious and respect queer people, that the most important thing is that your beliefs don't hurt other people. how you should respect pronouns, that being 'indoctrinated' into being queer isn't a thing.

all whilst he's mining for diamonds using a freaking mega tunnel bore. like its any other conversation you might have

which it certainly is, for me. but a 40 something cishet man? not your standard casual conversation topic, not usually. and even though i already knew he was a supportive guy, hearing a conversation like this outside of an explicitly queer space, unprompted by a queer person. just solidifies what kind of person he is. and gives me faith that even outside of queer specific spaces, important conversations are happening, its not just us protesting and yelling into the wind, no one giving a shit. and its happening in some pretty unexpected places. which id say is pretty neat. its nice to have some hope for a change.

(all that to say, this is a docm77 stan household)
