Frank Miller’s comics are really just an excuse for him to project his violent, misogynistic thoughts onto Batman instead of getting the therapy he so desperately needs

“but aces are only 1% of the population!”

okay, do you have a friend who:

has green eyes (2% of the world’s population)

has red hair (1-2% of the world’s population)

regularly watches anime (~3.5% of the world’s population)

is vegan (.5-3% of the world’s population)

has a phd (1.1% of the world’s population that has been to university)

knows how to code (.5% of the world’s population)

can dunk a basketball on a regulation sized hoop (1% of the world population)

lives in california (.5% of the world’s population)

the chances are pretty damn good you know someone in an above group. i’ll admit, the numbers aren’t perfect. but just think about it. what are the odds you know someone who is ace?

especially when more and more people are realizing they’re aspec due to more visibility

[shitpostsorcerer]

I like the knowledge that there are more aces than people in California

[antignocchiphase]

If we banded together all the aces, we could take over California.

man the Appalachian mountains really aren’t shit huh

[archosaur-automaton]

The Rockies are new, young and virile and fresh from the Laramide orogeny, tall and lanky teenagers on the geological scale. the Appalachian mountains are old, formed hundreds of millions of years ago before dinosaurs walked the Earth. They are ancients, elders, witnesses to half a billion years of life coming and going. To be tall is not a virtue. To be small is not a sin. The Appalachians are eroding under the weight of time, slowly shrinking and returning to the Earth from which they sprang. Appreciate them while they are still here.

[beabaseball]

I do want to say real quick again about the age of the Appalachians…

They said “before dinosaurs,” but we have a cave here that began forming between 450 million to 550 million years ago.

There are no bones in that cave. No fossils. No nothing.

That’s because this cave began forming before bones existed on land, and had only just started to exist in the ocean. Shellfish hadn’t evolved yet. Limestone, which forms many caves, was just starting to become a more prevalent rock.

The mountains aren’t older than dinosaurs. They are older than bones.

Bruce: Can I be frank with you guys?

Tim: Sure, but I don’t see how changing your name is gonna help.

Dick: Can I still be Dick?

Stephanie: Shh, let Frank speak.

unfortunately this is cute 

[shoelesscosmonaut]

My favourite exercise lately has been asking friends and family how they would describe their gender if they couldn’t use the usual terminology. No words like “male” or “female”. No “cisgender”, “transgender” or “nonbinary”.

I asked them how their gender felt or how they would physically describe it if they could see it and I got a lot of great answers.

Personally, my gender is rage, but a comfortable rage. One that wants recognition, justice and respect. It’s a burning fire that refuses to die amidst a roiling ocean

[shoelesscosmonaut]

y’all are so valid. I’m loving this

[moki-dokie]

I would describe my gender as an unidentifiable enigma that sometimes takes on vaguely familiar shapes; a partial memory that can be grasped at but never fully recalled.

[catgirlcaliphate]

Working out all the math for a warp, panicking because according to my calculations I need another six cones of yarn, and redoing the math 5 times before I realize that I forgot to divide something by 3 and I actually have plenty of yarn.

[Images: Lots and lots of gender descriptions from people’s tags. Transcripts follow, edited slightly for readability.]

Soft punk

Big lovable but delicate

Sitting in a hammock late summer listening to Jimmy Buffet

My gender is please don’t perceive me at all actually

I think my gender is… leaning on the comfort of the hot and cold parts of a refrigerator full of noise in a dark room; esoteric as hell, but that feels right

I would describe  mine as all of the pink emojis; or maybe just [redacted]

The void of space as a character, but one that’s clearly meant for sapphics

Hmm… A darkness that is both disorienting and warm; a welcoming void

My gender is a comfortable and mutual sadness

Y'all know that feeling u get when u go to a grocery store late at night, or that feeling when you’re at the beach at night when nobody is around; the late hours of the night with nobody around, left with your thoughts and being able to truly experience what time is, feeling chills run down your spine but in a good way

Fae woodsy and a little anger; lot of sneak energy; ideally dangerous, but in a rogue sort of way!

The feeling of struggling to open a plastic bottle cap with your jaw and teeth

Soft and warm, like a fluffy sweater or clover under the summer sun

Driving your car on an empty highway: time is real but not in the way we usually perceive; the universe is so vast and yet somehow you’re not alone. That’s my gender. IDK, that or like. 7/11 Slurpee.

Huh that’s a really interesting thought; I think mine would be……hm. The poses Mettaton EX makes in the fight; rainbow light, roasting marshmallows; sweet dreams by børns

Black screaming void

Non-Newtonian fluid but with chunks of colorful confetti lodged in it; or a lava lamp; or a chess board while it’s in play for hours. Or a box of chocolates -w- (Insert overused Forrest Gump reference)

Formless chaos and kinda stupid TBH; like an eldritch horror that does nothing but make loud noises and steal socks

My gender is comfy clothes and anonymity and people thinking WTF that’s so cool; also there’s a little bit of dragon there

My gender is wearing a red shirt to Target; I don’t actually work here, but if you ask me where something is I’ll help you find it

Mine would be a void, but like a malleable one: You can twist it and turn it, and make it bigger or smaller, like playing with playdough but if the playdough was dark matter

An android but the kind that’s just vaguely shaped human; not the hyper-realistic fake skin ones

bobby hill and i have so much in common

[gnatsattack]

the biggest queer mormon power play ever played was when the lead singer of Neon Trees made the band famous and had several hit songs and then in rolling stone was like “oh btw i’m gay and Sleeping With a Friend is about having sex with a male friend” and then looked at his other band mates like “what are you gonna do about it” and the other band members had to be like (cough) yeah. we, uh, we know it goes against our doctrine but we support him. and he was like “that’s what I thought”

[gnatsattack]

The moral of the story is that if you want to come out to your homophobic friends all you gotta do is become the face and frontman of the band that is their sole source of income and sleep w whoever you want

Otherwise just ditch em

[pollyjean]

btw if you like neon trees and tyler glenn please support his solo work!! his solo album “excommunication” is an absolute masterpiece about the internal and external struggles that come with growing up gay in an orthodox religion (mormonism specifically) and it’s helped me through so much. tyler glenn is such a wonderful and talented person and his solo work especially means everything to me.
