@astray-thought
this is the most incredible interaction ive ever witnessed
who told you that you could call me out like that
Playful Heart Monkey: Favourite game to play with friends?
Yellow car. Basically you smack/poke/tap/whatever the person closest to you whenever you see a yellow car (my preferred method is a punch in the arm). It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt basically. We argue so much over yellow/gold shades, too.
Cool! ^^ I think my friend @astray-thought plays that too. XD
The version I play was from the radio show Cabin Pressure. No violence included just imaginary bragging rights on your perceptive abilities.
Every Other Rom-Com Ever
Female Lead: I am an uptight workaholic, and am neurotic to the point of damaging my personal relationships. [trips and tells implausible lies] But I’m also clumsy and awkward so it’s okay.
Best Friend: I am a quirky free spirit who inexplicably enjoys your company. I’m sassy, laid-back, and somehow always right.
Quirky Parents: We’re benignly embarrassing! And also somehow always right.
Female Lead: I’m lonely, but I still have The Plan. That’ll make me happy, right?
Best Friend: [rolls eyes] The Plan can’t keep you warm at night, if you know what I mean.
Quirky Parents: You can’t spend your life with The Plan. [Insert adorkable old people moment]
Both Together: THE PLAN DOES NOT INVOLVE LOVE.
Male Lead: [enters, probably awkwardly] Hello, I am a charming asshole whose assholery hides a sensitive heart.
Female Lead: YOU DO NOT GEL WITH THE PLAN.
Male Lead: Fuck The Plan. Stop being so uptight. Stop caring so much about things I don’t care about.
Female Lead: But I have dreams! Aspirations that have nothing to do with you!
Male Lead: [follows her around] Me, tho.
Female Lead: [relents] Perhaps you are correct.
[They are happy for 5 minutes, in which he is overbearing and she is uncomfortable cool with it.]
[Insert The Event. Maybe she lied to him. Maybe she prioritized her career and life goals over her sort-of-boyfriend. Maybe *gasp* AN EASILY EXPLAINABLE MISUNDERSTANDING. He shames her for what she’s done and storms off.]
Female Lead: I was wrong. But it’s too late to apologize for some reason.
Best Friend OR Quirky Parents: You should apologize.
Female Lead: But it’s too late for some reason! Also The Plan! Perhaps we were never meant to be.
Best Friend OR Quirky Parents: Fuck The Plan. This guy you’ve known for like a week eclipses everything else. Go to him.
Female Lead: You’re right! [leaves friend’s wedding/important meeting/family reunion/etc. Goes to him with big gesture. Trips, because she’s still clumsy and awkward.] I’M SORRY FOR NOT MAKING YOU TOP PRIORITY IN MY LIFE, MAN I’M ONLY KIND OF DATING.
Male Lead: I’m sorry I shamed you for having a life plan that doesn’t revolve around romance/sex, but this scene still implies I was right to do so.
Female Lead: Fuck The Plan.
[They kiss]
Female Lead: [narrating] Thus I learned that romantic love is more important than any other kind of love, or financial stability, or dreams you’ve had for literally decades. And I am better for it now. The End.
The challenges that bisexual males face regarding bierasure is different than bisexual people who identify as women.
The vast majority of articles on bisexuality are banal. The issues of erasure they discuss are very real and important, of course, but the content is tediously unoriginal and the writing quality is adolescent (one of the many curses of online “media” that lacks proper editorial standards and oversight).
But this article on @theradicalnotion1 is properly original and insightful.
And, as a bisexual male in a heteronormative marriage, I can attest to all of the points made. No truer article has been written on the topic.
Writing Something Actually Scary
It’s October. It’s the perfect time to watch scary movies, catch up on you Stephen King reading, shake your head at that lame new Goosebumps movie that’s coming out whenever (seriously what are they thinking?), and try your hand at the horror genre.
As the scary story/movie season begins, I’d like to leave you with this guide.
The best horrors are psychological. At the time of my writing, I just finished watching The Awakening. I was impressed over all. I’d recommend it to a friend who was looking for something not so scary but maybe just haunting (no pun intended). It was more of a psychological thriller. If you’re like me, you’re a wimp but also very disappointed by the amount of awful horror movies that have come out this past decade (I’d like to put the blame on Paranormal Activity for starting the first-person jump scare craze). They’re bad for a simple reason: they’re shallow. To write a good horror story, you need to know what frightens humans. We’re all frightened by the unknown. There’s something in our brians that flips out when we’re met with something unfamiliar or something we can’t decipher quite right. Here is a beautiful Vsauce video that goes more into depth about what we find “creepy” and why. (Warning: There’s some unsettling images and video clips in this one). Possibly the greatest horror stories were in the T.V series The Twilight Zone. They were rarely terrifying in the sense that there was a ghost throwing glasses or a monster was hiding in a basement. They were scary because only one man saw the monster on the airplane’s wing, or the neighborhood couldn’t find out who the real monster was and were reduced to attacking one another. They were scary because they played with our minds. If only William Shatner could see the monster, what damage could it do without anyone else knowing? How oblivious was everyone else to the threat? If all the neighborhood was suspecting someone was a monster, then how could they prove innocence? In the big reveal (I won’t spoil the end), we know that the actual danger was 1) human nature and 2) another unstoppable force. They made the audience think after each episode ended. They were unsettling – the basis of all fear.
Don’t rely on stereotypes. Horror takes some thinking. You really need to understand what you’re writing. If you’re going off something you read in several other books or heard around several campfires or watched on several movie screens, you’re beating a dead horse. Sure, they may be scary, but why settle for something that is basically being half-assed by you? Let’s be honest, if you go off any stereotype for any genre, it’s going to be half-assed solely because you didn’t put original thought into it, and you don’t truly understand it.
AVOID THE TYPICAL WHITE MALE SURVIVOR CLICHE. It happens almost all the time. The women (or woman, as a lot of media typically will have only one female character) always die. The black guy always dies (again, only one if any at all). The white guy cries over the loss of his noble friends and/or love interest (’cause you know he’ll be kissing the female protagonist at some point) but gets to walk away. This is similar to the point above. Just make your writing more diverse all around.
Not all great horror stories have monsters or ghosts or werewolves. Sometimes our own thoughts are the problem. Sometimes it’s our imagination that gets the best of us.
Don’t be afraid of keeping it common. Halloween was a great movie. What made it great was that it could have happened to anyone. It was an ordinary man in a ordinary mask targeting an ordinary teenager. There was nothing special about any of these characters. It was just something that happened and didn’t seem too foreign. At least with more traditional horror stories, we can tell ourselves at midnight, alone in our own beds, “Ghosts don’t exist.”
It’s a very broad genre. Go for anything. Experiment with old folktales or mythology. Create your own monsters. Make your own Latin chants. Have fun with it and try to make someone afraid of the dark again.
Enjoy Halloween and nearly peeing yourselves.
It’s really hard to be making this announcement but our little family really needs your help.
Our dog Toasts is in need of a very urgent eye surgery. Over the past few weeks she’s completely lost her vision due to end stage glaucoma in both eyes. She’s in a lot of pain and is not herself. Because of this, we are moving forward with our only option of removing both her eyes.
Because of the severity of her condition, we’ve scheduled the surgery for next week but we spent everything we had moving to California and so we need help paying for it. Please donate as you’re able or share this video.
Literally everything helps.
Thanks y'all,

Please help us get Toasts back to her sweet little self.
Thank you so much to everyone for reblogging and signal boosting!! UPDATE: We are currently at $950, roughly a fifth of our goal, which is HUGE. We are so so grateful, and we know we couldn’t have gotten to this far without you all. We are still hoping to make some headway over the weekend so please help us keep the momentum going. Continue to reblog and signal boost and add tags. We’ll keep you posted on our progress. xoxo, @kaaanoa & @queerfemmebabe

IT’S ACE AWARENESS WEEK!!!! I AM SO PUMPED FOR THIS!! SOMEBODY PUNCH ME IN THE FACE!!!
It’s been pretty great at my shop today.
I live for this
Our Strange and Mysterious Moon …
is not the only artificial moon in our solar system:
Mars two moons, Phobos and Diemas, appeared seemingly out of nowhere in 1876, in a place previously observed for hundreds of years. Evidence since the 1960’s has suggested that they are artificial constructs, spacecrafts of some kind, and it was even recently concluded by the European Space Agency (ESA) that Phobos is indeed hollow and likely artificial.
Raymond H. Wilson Jr, Chief of Applied Mathematics at NASA, said in 1963 that, “Phobos might be a colossal base orbiting Mars,” and he added that NASA was considering the possibility.
Pictures really do speak a thousands words here:
Another interesting note in history; Venus had a moon 2,000 miles in diameter (slightly smaller than ours) that was observed from 1672 until 1764, and then it simply vanished. Today Venus has no moons. Oddly, this disappearing moon cannot be found in any astronomy books.
The idea that there is any conspiracy about UFO / alien activity or sightings is fueled by either denial, or the suppression of available information. Buzz Aldrin is just one of many astronauts to at this point publicly talk about his direct encounters with UFOs. Every Apollo mission has recordings that at the very minimum suggest UFO encounters or suspected unknown activity. Not to mention the thousands and thousands of NASA photos showing such unknown (and artificial) activity on the moon.
In 1979, former chief of NASA Communications, Maurice Chatelain, confirmed that Armstrong and Aldrin had encountered UFOs on the Moon. He said: “All Apollo and Gemini Flights were followed by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin - or UFOs, if you prefer to call them that.” Chatelain also published an article in 1995 that confirmed that not only did the Apollo Moon Mission encounter UFOs, but that they also found, “several mysterious geometric structures of unnatural origin on the Moon.”
Former NASA photographic technician, Donna Tietze, said in an interview with a radio station in 1995: “The job of a co-worker in a restricted area was to airbrush out any anomalies found on the Moon photos.”
Dr Brian O'Leary, former astronaut, who was speaking at a science conference in 1994, confirmed the cover-up. “For nearly fifty years, the secrecy apparatus within the United States government has kept from the public UFO and alien information, we have contact with alien cultures”. He went on to say, “The suppression of UFO and other extraterrestrial intelligence information for at least forty-seven years, is probably being orchestrated by an elite band of men in the CIA, NSA, NSS,D IA and their like. This small group appears able to keep these already hard-to-believe secrets very well’.
Major Gordon Cooper is the last American to fly into space alone. Major Cooper, in a taped interview, said: “For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists in astronautics. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us. And there are thousands of witness reports and a quantity of documents to prove this, but nobody wants to make them public.”
And here we have this gigantic, undoubtedly artificial structure we call the “Moon” …
This was seriously a fascinating read.

Captions: [2 people laughing, with the radio on in the background] “Wha?” [more laughter] “Like it’s seriously not getting off.” “Is it stuck?” “No its not. Its totally learned it!” “Its got in the rhythm now, look at that shit!” “It’s like, ‘fuck this, this is easy.’“ “ Alright bird” [video cuts off]
I just moaned.
I hope my fall experience is as magical as this made me feel.
IT IS COMING.
Oh gosh I just can’t even wait. Someone please put me in a time warp or something.
Iron ring - WTF fun facts
Iron or stainless steel, these days, but in either case it’s the same kind of memory. Here, this may be of some interest:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritual_of_the_Calling_of_an_Engineer http://www.ironring.ca/I’ve seen the text of the Obligation. Any oath sworn ‘by Honor and Cold Iron’ is not something to be taken lightly.
They literally hired Rudyard Kipling to write engineering poetry for it. It includes the hymn of breaking strain that is actually one of my favourite poems.
America privatized the prisons and turned possesion of a weed into mandatory sentencing that targeted poor minorities. The goal was to make prison shareholders rich and incarcerate a lost generation.
