having ADHD will have you going round your house saying aloud, "Okay, so if I were me, and me is a dumb fuck, where the hell would I put X," and you still can't find it

The fact that Fountain is pissing off trads over a 100 years later is so fucking funny

Good morning,

museums should repatriate artifacts belonging to living cultures and display reproductions instead

it’s so strange reading one book from an author and having it be your FAVOURITE THING EVER, and then reading something else by them and having it flop. it really sends you into analysis mode (both about yourself and the book)

anyone who says “the bible is clear” about an issue, is 100% of the time wrong. the bible wasnt clear once. the bible couldnt be clear about how to make a table if it came in an ikea box

queer people on this site really make me feel like a confused straight guy at pride. the discourse here could kill a man

being an archaeologist in tumblr is so funny because I see so many text posts and go. Imperialism pre-dates capitalism. Rebellion against empires pre-dates capitalism. Money pre-dates capitalism. Social inequality pre-dates capitalism. Misogyny pre-dates capitalism. Wealth inequality pre-dates capitalism. Unilateral rule by oppressive rulers pre-dates capitalism. People’s dependence on their job for their survival pre-dates capitalism. Capitalism as an economic system is about 200-250 years old max but these problems are much, much older, and capitalism supports, entrenches, or exacerbates many of these problems… doesn’t mean it invented them and doesn’t mean they will simply cease to be problems After Capitalism.

omg look at how they look at each other 😍😍 there's NO romantic explanation for this literally the amount of devotion they have could only be platonic. people who r just dating don't act like that, those two are sooo best friends

Tbh the funniest part abt Holmes's habit of shooting that one specific wall is not even the act of doing so itself but how Watson wrote abt it. His take abt it was just "well I personally believe that shooting should be an outside sport but oh well not even the best of buddies can agree on everything :)" like they're talking abt their fav dinossaurs

I know that Baring-Gould was a master bullshitter (honestly, props to him for his... inventive imagination) but I find it so hilarious how this guy, famous and well known in his own right, decided to find the most famous character at least in Britain and rechristen him so they had the same name.

William? Who? William Holmes- oh, like... William Baring-Gould? Fucking hysterical.

And he doesn't actually give a reason (at least, not to my knowledge). He just claims that, coincidentally, they have the same name and that just Is How It Is. William Sherlock Scott Holmes. Unreal.

"tiktok has massive problems that even if you don't agree with a complete ban have to be addressed for all social media platforms" and "the Chinese government is doing pretty awful things" and "there is a lot of sinophobic fearmongering and double standards in the conversation about tiktok" and "people should exercise basic caution signing up to foreign or domestic social media" and "most Chinese citizens like US citizens are just people living their life and cultural exchange between them can be beneficial for both sides" and "some people being on the same social media site isn't going to solve everything " and "I want to study the linguistics happening there under a microscope" are opinions that can coexist
