my bio prof: which parasite caused the potato famine?
the tiny desperate tired voice in my head: don’t say the english, it’s correct, but don’t say it
decided to put these in a bit of a chronological order as i can’t help but form a story behind the scenes. it’s a storyteller’s habit. and yeah i do have an idea i would genuinely like to explore with gail simone as a crossover comic.
i don’t want to be the writer for this. but at the same time i always found diving into these things and exploring the character chemistry was the best way to get an artistic feeling for it.
this is also how i usually develop my own stories.
anyhow, while many think this is me drawing some shipping, in fact this a proof of concept for an adventure story featuring lara and diana. Gail simone at some point asked if they would kiss and i gave it some genuine thought. i am a character first kind of a writer, myself, so i contemplated this. then i decided, yes, probably.
after all, romantic subplots have been the bread and butter of adventure writing since its inception and i always liked that aspect of adventure stories.
i hope this puts some things in context from my end XD
and while there will probably be a few more of these, there will be no nsfw pics. after all, camera pans away from indiana jones in those moments as well XD
okay… there may be a chance of a kiss… but that’s about it.
I want to kiss you in a way that makes you not want to kiss anyone else ever again
Dear white people
remember you committed genocide against us
when Lemony Snicket wrote “I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you everyday” that hurt me
“I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday. I will love you as the starfish loves a coral reef and as kudzu loves trees, even if the oceans turn to sawdust and the trees fall in the forest without anyone around to hear them. I will love you as the pesto loves the fettuccini and as the horseradish loves the miyagi, and the pepperoni loves the pizza. I will love you as the manatee loves the head of lettuce and as the dark spot loves the leopard, as the leech loves the ankle of a wader and as a corpse loves the beak of the vulture. I will love you as the doctor loves his sickest patient and a lake loves its thirstiest swimmer. I will love you as the beard loves the chin, and the crumbs love the beard, and the damp napkin loves the crumbs, and the precious document loves the dampness of the napkin, and the squinting eye of the reader loves the smudged document, and the tears of sadness love the squinting eye as it misreads what is written. I will love you as the iceberg loves the ship, and the passengers love the lifeboat, and the lifeboat loves the teeth of the sperm whale, and the sperm whale loves the flavor of naval uniforms. I will love you as a drawer loves a secret compartment, and as a secret compartment loves a secret, and as a secret loves to make a person gasp… I will love you until all such compartments are discovered and opened, and all the secrets have gone gasping into the world. I will love you until all the codes and hearts have been broken and until every anagram and egg has been unscrambled. I will love you until every fire is extinguished and rebuilt from the handsomest and most susceptible of woods. I will love you until the bird hates a nest and the worm hates an apple. I will love you as we find ourselves farther and farther from one another, where once we were so close… I will love you until your face is fogged by distant memory. I will love you no matter where you go and who you see, I will love you if you don’t marry me. I will love you if you marry someone else–and i will love you if you never marry at all, and spend your years wishing you had married me after all. That is how I will love you even as the world goes on its wicked way.”

My Adopted Cat Is The Best Climbing Partner Ever
Most pet cats will become timid or defensive when outdoors, but not Millie – after being adopted by her mountain-climbing owner Craig Armstrong, Millie has become a feline hiking and mountain-climbing legend.
“She literally loves to climb things… if there’s high-ground she’ll seek it out,” Armstrong said in an interview with Bored Panda. He had nothing but praise for the tenacious little athlete: “Generally she does best on slabby routes where she can scramble from ledge to ledge. She’s an incredible athlete but steep juggy routes just aren’t her thing. When bouldering, though, she’s done some pretty amazing gaps and dynos.”
“I go on a lot of weekend climbing adventures. It never seemed odd to me, just seemed like something I’d do with my pet, take her places,” explained Armstrong. Ever since Millie climbed up onto his shoulder at the Furburbia adoption center in Utah, Armstrong knew they’d make a good team.
There are, of course, pros and cons to taking your cat hiking – “We camp in my truck; She peed in there one night, but she caught a mouse in there one night, too.” Armstrong hopes that they can become a team in other aspects of his life as well; “I’m still waiting for the day we come across a group of pretty ladies and they love Millie and invite us to their campfire that night.“
He also had plenty of advice for owners who might consider hiking with their own cats. “Get them used to their name and to you as a safe place. In talus fields or thick woods she’ll get distracted and climb trees or explore tiny caves and under boulders and stop following sometimes. It’s taken a lot of practice and many trips to get Millie to the point where she follows me down a trail past areas like thickets that would have distracted her otherwise.”

Stop thinking about "Liberal/Conservative" as political concepts, and instead frame this in terms of "I've got mine, screw you":
The Boomer Generation is the last generation to have retirement plans paid for by the companies where they worked, everyone after that might have a measly 401k, at best. The Boomer Generation will have their Social Security and Medicare intact, everyone after them will see large cuts. If you were in the military, your retirement/benefits deal is substantially better than anyone that came after you. If you went to college, your cost of college was a fraction of those that came after, letting you build wealth during your earning years instead of struggling to pay back the loans. If you ran a business or were an executive as a Boomer, you might have outsourced jobs overseas in the name of short term profits, so that everyone who comes after you struggles to find an actual middle-class job like you had.
Pay attention to folks in Congress with "deficit panic." Every cut they discuss to make these social programs "sustainable" will only affect those AFTER the Boomer generation, they would never touch that cohort, because they vote in such large numbers.
So, you're sitting there as a Boomer about to retire or in retirement, you've got at least one retirement check coming in, perhaps double dipping, looking at your Social Security about to start, and comfortable that just about everything is taken care of, and that you "deserve" all those goodies coming your way, and the next thing you think is "screw everyone else." Screw everyone that comes after me, because they don't deserve it, or we can't afford it as a country, or they must not have worked as hard as me, etc.. Something, anything to rationalize it.
There's a certain amount of cognitive dissonance necessary, but it works. Getting a retirement check from the city for being a firefighter for 25 years? - No problem saying that we can't afford retirement benefits for anyone that comes AFTER you, because the city "can't afford it". It's like a school district trying to get a bond measure through. If you're a parent with kids, you might vote for it, but after the kids are grown up? Screw all those people, we can't afford all this money for schools - so the schools decay for everyone trying to raise a kid after you. People translate all this BS into "conservative" politics, but it's not conservative at all - it's as simple as "I've got mine, screw you".
The press should talk less about income equality/class warfare and more about the coming "war" between the Boomers and everyone that comes after. Turn on the cable shows and you'll see Boomers saying how lazy all those kids coming out of college are, because they are not working, etc, in a broken, bankrupt system that they created and left to them. Better get working everyone! You'll need to work long hours in all those sub-middle-class jobs to pay for the programs the Boomers are sucking dry - which you yourself won't benefit from.

BECAUSE IT’S GREAT
Land of Nod by Sergey Adoevtsev
new bra from victoria secret! :)
A woman stands in her bedroom. She is with her attractive male lover. The air is filled with desire. They both look into each other’s eyes. The female, with a slightly bashful smile, takes off her clothes, starting with the pants first, and finally the shirt. She is wearing the bra. The man’s eyes opened wider in interest. His interest is peaked. The woman strutted closer to him, her eyes batting and her smile growing. She leans into his ear and with a breathy voice, she spoke: “Lettuce fuck.”
I graduate in three days, I pay my own bills, I have a car, and I’m reading fanfiction about a lettuce bra.
It has a little lettuce bow.
I’ve been laughing for 7 minutes oh my god
I hate to break it to you, but that’s a cabbage.
plot twist
Excerpts from: "Straight White Male" - The Lowest Difficulty Setting There Is.
a friend and i were talking about the 3rd ep of the game of thrones (the episode where jamie rapes cersei).
i told her how disgusted i was that jamie raped cersei. the jamie who lost a hand to save breanne from getting raped. and then, offhandedly, my friend said 'oh, but not's really an issue i mean, she should have seen it coming, it was more disgusting that they had sex right next to joffrey's dead body'
wat.
i can't even.
no one deserves to be raped. not even the bitch cersei. pretty sure she said no several times in the scene too.
Palestinian lady collects gas bombs fired by Israeli army. She grows flowers in these bombs.
i have to leave australia soon and this sucks because i really thought i could settle down here
but nop. it's like i have itchy feet even if i don't want to :|
