New Star Wars theory: every planet is the size of Wales.
A planet only has one biome? That's because it's only the size of Wales. Coruscant is fully urbanised? Wasn't so hard if it's only the size of Wales. Every planet has a maximum of like four cities? Just like Wales.
Chewbacca's roars? Actually a Welsh dialect.
Reblog if you think public libraries are important and should be maintained.
List Of Media Where Something Fucked Up Happens To The Moon
despicable me (moon theft)
miraculous ladybug (moon split in half)
hermitcraft (moon big)
feel free to add
Sonic fandub Dark Story (moon gets pissed on)
doctor who (moons an egg and it hatches)
That one Tumblr post that I can't find because the search function is bad (moon in a time loop)
Zelda Majora's Mask (moon has a face. and is creepy.)
oh, I almost forgot!
Portal 2 (moon gets portaled on)
Prey: Mooncrash (Moon is haunted by shape-shifting alien psychic sharks. Also it's a time loop. Everybody dies).
fear and hunger: termina (moon is a dead god. and is creepy.)
ok ko: moon blown up as romantic gesture
Final fantasy 14: moon actually not moon, is jail cell/space ship. The other moon also wasn’t a moon it was an egg.
Origin: Spirits of the Past (Gin'iro no Kami no Agito in the Japanese releases): moon is broken by angry tree dragons while Kokia sings. an orphaned survivor from the distant past wakes up in overgrown ruins after humanity learned to make do without pre-apocalypse technology.
Time Machine: moon is broken by real estate while a widowed man escapes into the distant future. he wakes up in overgrown ruins after humanity learned to make do without pre-apocalypse technology.
the Adventure Zone (Balance): second moon's just a facade for an airborne secret base.
Final fantasy 8: moon's haunted. Drops monsters on the earth every so often. Nothing forecasts this it just happens and everybody goes "oh yeah the moon thing again'
The Tick, when Chairface Chippendale tried to laser-engrave his name into the moon and got stopped partway, so every time you see the moon in future episodes it has a huge "CHA" written across it.
Scott Pilgrim (the comic): the moon has two large craters blasted in it by a psychic guy, to impress girls
Later in the Tick, Omnipotus was going to eat the Earth, the Tick convinced him not to, but he took a bite out of the moon on his way out
Okay, here's my idea:
The British should put a time limit on the Monarchy.
Not like declaring a republic tomorrow, but deciding on a date in the future that ends the British Monarchy.
And there's a perfect date for it coming up!
October 14th, 2066.
A thousand years since the Battle of Hastings. A thousand years of this one specific bloodline ruling England.
Call time on the Monarchy after exactly one thousand years. Nice, and neat.
Even better: Charles isn't living 44 years. He'll be gone in about twenty. Now William? He's what, 40? Yeah, he can live another 44 years. His great grandmother was over a hundred, his granny was 96, William can make it to 84 barring accident or assassination.
So on October 14th 2066, William the Last steps down a thousand years after William the First won the crown.
Nice, neat, and fair. William gets the crown he's been waiting forty years for already, but ten-year-old George grows up without expectation of it.
Have a nice big abdication ceremony, even.
Plus, what an absolute baller move to announce your regnal name as William the Last.
the Final Bill
This is actually a really good idea, I think.
FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm ET.
If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.
Yes, I'm doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.
Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I'm bad at tags.
Mr. Dino be showin' his pride on Crowdfundr, yo.
I'm taking pre-orders for these keychain designs until September 30, 2023.
“Poor little parrot, killed by the high temperatures..”
“Ah no, it’s a corn”
literally my favorite type of tweet
So poor people don’t deserve to have money?!
THEY’LL JUST WASTE IT ON SURVIVAL!
Also, if you’ve taken more than a high school economics course taught by someone who has never stepped foot in a college economics class,
Giving $500 to poor people multiplies it REALLY FAST. That $500 immediately goes into the economy and ripples more purchases until it hits a rich pocket.
Giving $500 to a billionaire takes $500 out of the economy permenantly. You could have set it on fire and made no difference.
That is such an important part of the conversation that rich people seem to purposefully misunderstand whenever it’s brought up
Money exists to be spent, not hoarded. Yes, people should have saving, but no one should be sitting on a pile of money too big to spend in a single lifetime. “The economy” as a concept only works if people are spending money, and the people hoarding the money are so quick to blame the people who barely have any when the economy starts to fail
Having a big string of numbers in an offshore account doesnt make you an economic genius, it makes you a parasite that is ruining the economy for everyone else

The Last Band On Earth issue #1 is now available as a FREE DOWNLOAD from my Ko-Fi page, right here!
The Last Band On Earth is my current graphic novel in progress, about a noise rock band trapped in a semi-post-apocalyptic city run by demons. The band wants to escape so they can go on tour in whatever might be left of the world, and this whole thing may or may not be a thinly-veiled metaphor for depression. (Issue #1 is also a Joe Shuster Award winner, how about that!)
Check it out, let me know what you think, maybe consider buying the rest and/or telling a friend if you like it - I'm aiming to have the whole thing done by next spring & would like to generate a bit of buzz before then. (Sharing this post would also be excellent & much appreciated!)
Here's the first few pages:
Thank you & have a lovely day! 🙏
I love the library
i recently went to the library, picked out a giant comfy chair in the middle of the place, sat down and just read for an hour. it was a genuinely pleasurable and cathartic experience. i highly suggest going just to be there. you don't have to check your books out and leave. hell, you don't have to check anything out at all. just browse, pick something up, start it, put it down, pick something different. just exist in a space built specifically for your community.
Libraries are a great way to spend time in public (regardless of reading/not-reading preferences)
Bc Third Spaces (places you can exist that aren't home or work/school) are endangered--and libraries are currently our most thriving species of Third Spaces. Natural characteristics of Libraries include:
free wifi and outlets!
quiet! peace and quiet!
comfy seating
not crowded!!!
you get to be left alone in peace! personal space is sorta sacred at a library
BUT there's also super friendly staff/patrons if you're feeling social.
How To Enjoy A Library (without reading anything if u don't want to):
pack a laptop + thermos of Beverage + maybe some snacks? and just...go and hang out. sit in a comfy chair. stream a movie on the wifi. jam out (with headphone duh) while browsing socal media (or magazines!). luxuriate in being allowed to exist! in public! without being charged by the minute.
(p.s. many libraries lend phone/laptop chargers, headphones, and even entire laptops. plus there's always the public desktops. if you're ever stuck with a few hours to kill...the library is comfier than the nearest starbucks)
IN CONCLUSION: libraries are just very comfy and convenient places to exist. you can go there, not glance at a single book, and still have a chill time w/ fun (and free!) public resources.
sexy sexy free public resources
100% Disagree
It’s an underdog story about classism in which the folk hero (Johnny) is confronted by a powerful man (the Devil) who tries to exploit the hero’s perceived ignorance and inferiority by offering a great reward with impossible odds. Although Johnny warns him that looks can be deceiving, and that he’s going to regret the dare because Johnny is the “best there’s ever been”, the devil is blinded by his greed and arrogance.
The devil creates an awful cacophony of technically excellent fiddle playing that would be impossible for Johnny to replicate. It’s a trick.
But Johnny just grins at him and starts to play “simple” classic country fiddling songs - Fire On The Mountain, House Of The Rising Sun, and Daddy Cut Her Bill Off. He doesn’t rise to beat the Devil - he simply creates his own music from his home, in the style that he knows, and his love of it and the familiarity of the music make his “backwoods” fiddling more perfect than the Devil could ever achieve.
It is thus the devil’s pride, not Johnny’s, that allows Johnny to Bugs Bunny his way into a golden fiddle.
(In that sense, I do agree that it is the most American song: in a land of prejudice and inequities, great power lies - dormant but ever-present - in those we underestimate and attempt to exploit.)
Also people initially react to the devil's part like "holy shit that's badass" because he's got electric guitar and bass and a whole backing band to make him sound good. Of course he sounds amazing. But if you drill down to the actual fiddling -- and this is straight from Charlie Daniels -- it's not as technically difficult as what Johnny does. It's fast? But it's mostly just going up and down scales.
Here's a good performance -- the devil's part starts around 2:00. Check out how long Daniels just stands there holding his fiddle while the guitar and piano carry the weight. I love that piano bassline but fiddling it ain't.
It's still an American narrative: if you can afford to hire a bunch of more talented people, you, too, can look like a genius. Doesn't make you one.
This is exactly the type of shit I come to tumblr for
Proving a point to my boyfriend.
PLEASE REBLOG if you (male or female) believe it is perfectly okay and natural for a guy of any age to cry
I’ve never hit reblog faster or harder.
Less than 3 hours to go. For some reason last time it didn't link but here you go
