BABYLON 5  still really cool and actual show

[matthewcrawleymybeloved]

The sexiest thing Matthew Crawley ever did was have his little interest in medieval English parish churches ?? Like YES king tell me about how this side aisle was a 14th century addition to the main structure because you can see the difference in the stonework or that the original altar screen would have been dismantled during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. All the other men in this show love to talk about pheasant shooting or racing cars or lands on the estate and Matthew's just there like. Yes but what if we ALSO talked about the irreplaceable loss of medieval ecclesiastical wall paintings on a national scale after the passing of the Royal Injuctions in 1538

I was trying to wait for a nice sunbeam to hit this glossy ibis so I could demonstrate how they really do deserve that name but this guy kept doggy scratching the whole time I was trying to get a photo.

You can see some of the glossy iridescence here though!

[spin-the-wheel-polls]

you have to dress in this style for the rest of your life!

(you do not have to follow the beliefs associated with the style if that style has associated beliefs. The wheel curse does not affect anything like that.)

Do you like it?

yes!!

it's okay I guess

no

NO.

I dress like this already

Always remember that men are the gold diggers, the resource hoarders, and they do NOT care about you. They will happily watch a woman work herself to the grave, grow sick, work through the sickness, and sell priceless belongings and continue using her.

They are parasites to the core. They will never love us. Stop expecting them to.

[realist-fortheloveofwomen]

This should lowk qualify as financial abuse ima be fr

“Erm I didn’t think you’d really sell it…”

This poor woman. I hope she saves her money for herself. She was truly pure hearted and generous and he took advantage of this, actually evil.

Interesting mile-long fanfic/theorypost/xreader imagine! Have you considered using this button

It may look like a yummy Burger, but it is called a "read more"

[spiribia]

we do need to revisit the wording of "you can't have your cake and eat it too" because i don't think it clearly enough conveys that it's more that you can't simultaneously retain a cake and also get to consume it (which would render you cakeless). for years i was like But why not....it's my cake....?

[ferrettoy]

this fucking problem is how they caught the unabomber

[m0thmancore]

hey you should uh. elaborate. for my own personal satisfaction

[ferrettoy]

the unabomber was pedantic about idiomatic phrases like "have your cake and eat it too" and rephrased it to "eat your cake and have it too" (which to be very fair makes sense). fast forward to when he starts writing manifestos. he uses the phrase word for word in his pedantic style and his brother (who has been keeping his eyes on the unabomber shit for obvious reasons) notices the phrase and is like "oh fuck that's my fucking brother no one else fucking says that" and calls in an FBI tip

[tetrafelino]

Well you can't deliberately speak in a way nobody else does and also stay anonymous you know. Can't eat your cake and have it too.

[girlsgogamess]

it wasnt his brother, it was his brother's wife

[honeyapplebutterfly]

It’s fucking insane that women can’t even gather. We have to be underground, word of mouth, in the middle of the woods in tents, just to be allowed to speak freely. Doesn’t that feel crazy? Don’t get me wrong, I love being in the woods with women, but why must we be so hidden while men can shout and scream at the top of their lungs in every city across the US? Why is it SO disproportionate? All we are asking for is to be left alone but it requires so much obfuscation. Men have entire parades, women must whisper on secret channels and hide in the forest.

[aint-love-heavy]

I know we talk a lot about the literacy crisis and the horrible anti-intellectualism happening rn but I think we need to talk more about how much of an entitlement complex the stupidest among us have developed

[blckgirlacid]

I need my weird alone time or I will explode

[estel-and-agape]

I do enjoy having my weird time alone with my mutuals though

i completely understand & agree with the backlash against students using chatgpt to get degrees but some of you are out here saying "getting a degree in xyz means pulling multiple consecutive all-nighters and writing essays through debilitating migraines and having severe back pain from constantly studying at your desk and chugging energy drinks until you get a kidney stone and waking up wishing you were dead every day, and that's just part of the natural process of learning!!!" and like. umm. i don't think that any of us should have had to endure that either. like maybe the solution for stopping students from using anti-learning software depends on college institutions making the process of learning actually sustainable on the human body & mind rather than a grueling health-destroying soul-crushing endeavor

The new Odyssey adaptation has inevitably gotten people talking about a Muppet version of it, and they’re frequently suggesting Kermit as Odysseus, Miss Piggy as Penelope.

I’m sorry but that’s thinking way too small, hear me out:

We need to have Miss Piggy as Odysseus, and Kermit as Penelope.

Think about it… who’s the more fickle, prideful, warlike one in that relationship? Who is absolutely ready to go ham, at a moment’s notice?

It ain’t Kermit

[anyroads]

Miss Piggy tied to the mast while Statler and Waldorf heckle her from the sea

[mindovermuses]

But who is the single human cast member in this tale? Who gets to put in an Oscar-worthy performance alongside the Muppets and what role are they to play?

[muffinflarp69]

There’s no single human, everyone is a Muppet except for one scene. Circe, played by Janice, turns Odysseus’s crew into humans who still behave animalistic and are all played by Academy Award winning actors.

Here's a comic breaking down some myths about Robespierre, The Terror, and *why* he died. This explanation is still pretty simplified, but I hope it can show why many of us talk about his downfall with such sadness. It can seem confusing if you've been taught a certain narrative.

In comparison to some of my other non fiction comics, this one is honestly a little more biased... but heck, it's Thermidor, and Robespierre's memory is indeed dear enough to me that I want to defend it.

it's literally them
