13 Tapeworms in a leather jacket

none of them are actually all that lucky, but all of them are gay

‘The Raven’ was almost ‘The Parrot’. When Edgar Allen Poe first conceived of the poem, he wanted a ‘melancholy’ feel and planned to use ‘nevermore’ as a refrain.

Deciding that a talking, non- reasoning animal would be the best way to repeat the word, Poe first thought of a parrot - until he realized ravens are ‘equally capable of speech, and infinitely more in keeping with the intended tone.’

@facts-i-just-made-up I think this one is probably on you

[facts-i-just-made-up]

I don’t have too many jokes that have been spread as real facts. Trying to keep track of who’s posted more lies, me or the “real” fact blogs would be an impossible chore.

Quoth the fact blog, “Who keeps score?”

[k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl]

a surprising number of people see the term "social construct" and think that it means something is not real when it actually means something is so very real because it was created by us and is constantly enforced, often violently

Black Mirror director Ally Pankiw rejected an opportunity to work on HBO's Harry Potter series because of J.K. Rowling's views on gender. 

"It simply is this easy to say no to funding transphobia"

Hating on AI because it plagiarizes or makes bad art really undercuts the main purpose of AI being invested for in the first place; for surveillance and warfare.

shoutout to the person who tagged this "#geronimo stilton" for living their truth in a way most of us could never find the courage to

[unthrifty--loveliness-deactivat]

Just so we’re clear, if I point out that you did something racist, that’s not the same as me thinking you’re irremediably terrible. You did a racist thing.

[unthrifty--loveliness-deactivat]

You think you don’t do racist things, homophobic things, etc? You do. I caught myself in fat phobic and homophobic lines of thinking/speech just this morning. I’m fucking gay married. Nothing disqualifies you from acting in a way that reflects the society you exist in. We are obliged to fight it. Why not fight it in honesty and with camaraderie?

the main trick to dancing at a goth club is:

1. Imagine you’re a powerful wizard

2. Imagine you’re channeling mana for one of your strongest spells

[lilyblisslys]

3. you can also pretend you’re a deep sea predator pretending to be aquatic plant life drifting in the currents to attract prey

4. Brush away the spiderwebs in the vast and mysterious crypt you're exploring

[kuttithevangu]

Every work of art says things the creator hasn’t considered, but if you’ve really thought about what you’re trying to say then generally the additional dimensions you didn’t know it had are in alignment with your purpose, whereas if you think you’re making no cultural comment at all you are actually making a LOT of cultural comments, most of which will be unflattering to you

[kuttithevangu]

Porn is one of the most culturally rich types of media imaginable so the answer is: you cannot do this

[rockshitty]

“I don’t want to make anything with cultural dimensions. That’s why I only write within the genre that is legally sequestered away from every other kind of storytelling because of my culture’s attitude towards depictions of sex.”

I've been slooooowly working on getting the feral cat population in my neighborhood under control, but there's one particular cat I can't catch. I call her Pretty Lady.

Pretty Lady is a grizzled old street cat who was at some point fixed based on the fact her ear was tipped. She has a bizarre face that I'm not sure if it came from genetics or a current health issue, but her eyes are sort of...tilted? I've tried to get a picture of her to show my coworker who used to be a vet, but have not succeeded.

Anyways. She's grizzled. And old. And has started to look a little rough around the edges, so I've been trying harder to catch her to try and get her some vet care.

Pretty Lady refuses to be caught. She's right there for morning snackies when I bring them out, but attempts to interact beyond food are met with serious hisses. The trap in my yard is a joke to her, no matter what food I put inside. And god forbid any of the other neighborhood cats try to come eat the food I give her. That is Not Allowed.

Except! Except!

Pretty Lady has recently acquired a little himbo boyfriend. The boyfriend, who I have named Target because he is orange and has a perfect circle target pattern in his fur, is a wee baby tomcat who is juuuuuust starting to get his cheeks. I have witnessed Target fall out of my shed more than once (it's a one foot drop for reasons I don't understand given it was custom built), seen him startle at falling leaves MULTIPLE times, and seen him have a full on yowling fight with a stick.

Pretty Lady has taught Target to avoid the trap in my yard, shares her food with him, and makes him stand guard while she eats. Target seems incredibly pleased by this arrangement.

I do hope I can eventually catch them both, or at least Target to get him fixed, but in the meantime I am rather enjoying watching this play out.
