(formerly @livi5972) first off, i am weirdly comfortable using the royal we, it’ll happen second, this is my “main” which i throw everything onto - it’s primarily 911, good omens, atla, neurodivergence, science, and whatever else is in my head atm third, this is a safe space for me so it’s a safe space for lgbtq+, particularly my ace, trans, and non-binary fam, but also friends of all religions and races, and neurodivergent lovelies - and we’re not going to be mean, please and thank you - send me asks and stuff? - these are also me: 911 @bucksbirthmark PJO/HOO @percy-jackson-of-neptune DC @super-sons-a-bitches Marvel (MCU) @i-died-with-tony Schitt’s Creek @thewinenotthelabel - header is my art avatar from picrew https://href.li/?https://picrew.me/image_maker/400146

cat laziness is so contagious. you'll see your cat flopped on its back in your bed a completely comfy cozy baby and you'll be like. you're right. you make a compelling argument.

the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire

icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down

cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)

feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated

Promethean task: opposite of a Cassandraean task. You have the right information, and SOMEONE has to share it. But it's all in the delivery and if you're the person to identify the problem you WILL be hated forever.

Oedipal Task: (1) Attempting to avoid an unspeakably awful outcome and in doing so creating the circumstances that will bring it about. (2) Trying to solve an problem and discovering that you are in fact the problem you are trying to solve.

Odyssean task: you’ll complete it but it’ll take 20 times longer than it should and involve multiple side quests and mini-adventures

Thank you Greek mythology side of tumblr

Perseus Task: You wouldn't do it under normal circumstances but are determined enough to get the job done out of spite and proving someone wrong.

MAGA boomers SHOCKED by 20y/o commie speaking fluent hog

Hog 201 for anyone interested in trying this:

Bodily autonomy (like abortion, anti draft, etc) -> “The government shouldn’t be able to force anything on my body I don’t want.”

Anti surveillance -> “I don’t trust big government/big tech (big brother if you’re feeling frisky) with the ability to spy on me and my family.”

Immigration -> “Next to all of us immigrated at some point, I don’t see why the elites get to decide who’s allowed to be where. What’s to stop them coming for me?”

Climate Change -> “Big oil shouldn’t get to determine whether or not I get to go places. I don’t want to be dependent on some big business to survive.”

State Violence -> “I don’t want the goddamn secret police breathing down my neck! I trust my community a whole hell of a lot more to help me than I do the state!”

The vast majority of conservatives think of themselves as underdogs being repressed by the government/the elite, and they value personal freedom (specifically their personal freedom, they don’t care about other people). The will almost always agree with leftist points if you can find a way to blame the problem on their vague enemies (useful, since rich people are the root of most problems), and tie it back to their ability to say fuck everyone else. NEVER appeal to science, theory, logic, or human goodness. Make it seem as if you are a paranoid lunatic who trusts no one. They love it.

it really is crazy how there are so many influencers with millions of followers i have never heard of in my life

every day someone is like ‘have you heard about the situation with johnny youtube?’ and i go. pardon. who the hell is that

being an early bird is soooo awesome taking the longest slowest most leisurely start to the day and it is now 8:25am

And this is of course not even mentioning the worm

The point of anti-acne products isn't because of beauty standards, its because acne hurts like hell and can get infected

automaticautosexual

It's like when people call sunscreen or deodorant beauty products. Like maybe in some cases but most people don't want to smell bad or have skin cancer

i love having a whole lot of little creatures inside me living off whatever the heck and i love that people have different eye colors and i love that we style these protein strands that come out of our head and i love that we're wrapped in skin and i love how we get to be social creatures who takes comfort in certain behaviors from others and i love how squishy we are and i love thet we play and how music is a thing that didnt need to exist but it does and i love that i get to be somebody who can appreciate all of that

YES OMG BRÜNNHILDE

Knight under Everything

Signs of abuse, neglect, or mental health issues in younger people often get turned into a joke or a stereotype and I think that’s worth talking about.

The depressed teen that hates their parents has been a trope for years. Saying someone has daddy issues or that their behavior is fatherless is an insult. People call kids “ipad babies” and make fun of their short attention span.

It’s dismissive. Dare I say victim blame-y?

Seriously though.

I have so many thoughts on the 80s and early 90s movies that were "teen comedies" focused on the idea of "here is a teenager who has a very valid reason for being depressed, but the fact they are depressed is a joke for at least half of the movie". Like, kids getting bullied. Kids having parents die. Kids having parents divorce. Kids being forced to move away from their families. Those kids have reasons to be depressed and feel down. How is that a joke? How is it a joke to have a child be anxious or grieving?

just saw a pigeon doing the puffed up courtship dance thing to another pigeon, and as he was strutting around he suddenly stopped for a split second to do a very brief preen-peck at his own side, then returned to the strutting around. and i surprised myself by instantly losing respect for the male pigeon in that moment, like come on man i appreciate you had an itch or whatever but how is she supposed to feel special when you're getting distracted by bullshit like that? which on reflection i don't endorse, i mean those are pretty harsh dating norms i'm imposing on these pigeons, from a total outsider perspective, for no reason. probably not all girl pigeons are as uptight about that sort of thing as i would apparently be if i was a girl pigeon, maybe she even found it endearing who knows, i don't know her. it's none of my business really. sorry pigeons.

'being single sucks because youll be lonely' lame and untrue. 'being single sucks because a lot of groceries are portioned to make food for more than one person and you cant really take advantage of buying in bulk because it'll go bad before you use it all' this i cannot deny.
