This is like that time my kid told me that science was for boys and I was like, “You were literally sitting next to me sitting the organic chemistry review. That’s science. I’m a scientist.”

I never saw an unconscious bias change so fast. Not only was science for girls, but she seemed to think we (as in all girls everywhere) were very generous for allowing boys to participate in it from time to time.

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

[cuntybearjamboree]

FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST??? IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

[dancing-coyote]

That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.

BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG.

The responses to this post have been so amazing because it’s reminded me, and I’m sure many others, of just how many hilarious bits John Mulaney has other than s&pd

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.

[feels-for-the-fictional]

I have been waiting for this post all my life.

[marzipanandminutiae]

They are indeed purple, But one thing you’ve missed: The concept of “purple” Didn’t always exist.

Some cultures lack names For a color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his “wine-dark sea.”

A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old, For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold.

So roses are red. Violets once were called blue. I’m hugely pedantic But what else is new?

[ineptshieldmaid]

My friend you’re not wrong About Homer’s wine-ey sea! Colours are a matter Of cultural contingency;

Words are in flux And meanings they drift But the word purple You’ve given short shrift.

The concept of purple, My friends, is old And refers to a pigment once precious as gold.

By crushing up molluscs From the wine-dark sea You make a dye: Imperial decree

Meant that in Rome, to wear purpura was a privilege reserved

For only the emperor!

The word ‘purple’, for clothes so fancy, Entered English By the ninth century

.

Why then are voilets Not purple in song? The dye from this mollusc, known for so long

Is almost magenta; More red than blue. The concept of purple is old, and yet new.

The dye is red, So this might be true: Roses are purple And violets are blue

.

[squeeful]

While this song makes me merry, Tyrian purple dyes many a hue From magenta to berry And a true purple too.

But fun as it is to watch this poetic race The answer is staring you right in the face: Roses are red and violets are blue Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.

Hirple - To limp or walk awkwardly

Cirple - An old Scots word for the hindquarters of a horse

My boner for you has caused me to hirple.”

Max is one of the most relatable characters in Stranger Things because when a girl she barely even talks to just showed up at her door asking for advice, girl went so hard. Not only did she give her advice, she was like “babe we’re gonna go get you a whole new wardrobe, get ice cream and do a photo shoot. Fuck your man.” She was literally the equivalent of a drunk girl finding another girl crying in a bathroom

DONT YOU KNOW KOREAN oh snap

[katjohnadams]

Rebloging to again add:

Seriously, it’s easy to just see this as pro-women. But it is so very much more. 

I adore my homeland, but let’s be real. The very very vast majority of violent crimes that are reported are against women. This is not some sudden nor recent thing, either. South Korea ranks 117 of 142 countries for gender equality - even the wage gap is absolutely absurd. Women are literally dragged into nightclubs by staff to attract men. Nearly 90% of violent crime reports are women. Accusing a rapist is often met with defamation suits. Criticizing the police and government for failing to take this problem seriously similarly encounters resistance, legal action, and  social ostracism. Mothers out of wedlock are often forced to have abortions by their family on threat of being disowned - and are often disowned afterwards regardless. Children of unwed parents can find great difficulty finding employment.

THIS IS NOT JUST A MOMENT OF ATTITUDE AND EMPOWERMENT.

From an asian perspective, especially a Korean one, this is a revolutionary and violent response to the misogynistic attitude in South Korean and much of Asia.

Where westerners are seeing something to cheer with a smile, I see something to cheer with a fist in the air. My sisters in Korea are literally facing rape, exclusion, and death simply for being my sisters.

Yes, please be thrilled to see this sort of thing. Absolutely! But please understand the culture this comes from is very different from your experiences.

I love how the body structure and the decor of the larger bone fairy creates a nice area of concentration that leads the viewer’s eye towards the tooth fairy. This, aside from the obvious glow and design contrast, help direct the attention where needed and is a brilliant move by the artist.
