The Chinese shoe manufacturer decided to demonstrate the indestructibility of their shoes

And also the indestructibility of that woman's ankles

This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.

the thing about writing is that it's very hard unless you have to leave the house in 15 minutes or perhaps go to bed

I'm gonna be a hater for a minute

Can we get a moment of silence for everyone who's ever created a piece of art that said "what if it DOESN'T end happily? What if good intentions aren't enough? What if everyone is sometimes flawed and thoughtless and petty and we all do harm without meaning to?"

Only for someone to be like "omg yessssss this is so powerful! And then, what if it DID end happily and the good intentions were enough and everything gets wrapped up in a twee little bow because I have the emotional complexity of a six-year-old?" and then they get a thousand reblogs of people going "yayyyy it's fixed!"

I do enjoy when a very old classic Tumblr post (like literally a decade old at this point) comes across my Dash and I click on OP's account and their last post was like, 30 minutes ago.

special effects are too good now because as we left the theater after Project Hail Mary my mom was like "it's really impressive that Ryan Gosling was the only actor on screen for most of that movie" and I was confused for several seconds thinking "what about the giant crab that played Rocky?"

[penrosesun]

No but like, fr this is the power of puppetry. This is why people are regularly accidentally mic-ing Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy instead of their actors. This is why Labyrinth and Farscape and Little Shop of Horrors hold up. We all spent two and a half hours convinced that that little spider rock dude was real, because James Ortiz and his team created the sort of incredible acting chemistry with Ryan Gosling that can only happen with a real guy who actually occupies physical space

i don't think it's a very good likeness of him, tbh.

Legitimately tempted to block you for that

i think we've done a great job expanding the view of what a child's favorite animal can be. kids these days can say they love axolotls or pangolins or coelecanths and their decision is respected. maybe their parents can even find them a stuffed animal of it if they know where to look. and i think that's beautiful

Googled something about quick hydration and it suggested big jug of water, couple tbsp pickle juice, dash of lime juice.

if i made a video game where you get to pick the gender of the player character i'd make both the options be nonbinary and you can either have they/them or it/its pronouns. those are your only options
