A Tiny Silver Kettle of Pickled Liars' Tongues

He/Him, 40. Mainly here to read and reblog. Physically unable to reblog without notes. Sometimes posts own thoughts (as #schroed's thoughts), usually when in fact he should rather be sleeping, goshdarnit.

I need y'all to know that whenever I'm typing quotation marks im making air quote like Caitlin Doughty in her new video about the whereabouts of John Wilkes Booth's body:

You should absolutely click the link to her vid, by the way. It's a ghost link on Youtube, 'cause they of course are absolutely childish regarding informational content regarding death and dying. So please give it a click to make some internal Youtube statistics variable go up. Oh, and of course you can also watch the vid, if you're interested.

I also made this GIF with subs, if you're interested:

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the doctor down the street who gives me my T shots in a clinic so small that it's just two rooms was excited for me when she said my voice had dropped yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the receptionist who could see that I was a man didn't bat an eyelash when I asked to see the gynecologist and called me sir when he asked how I wanted to pay yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the barber cuts my hair exactly how I want it and never gave me strange looks for being in a men's salon not even back when I didn't pass as one

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but my friends have always gendered me correctly and stick to it even when it confuses other people and my friend's little sibling calls me older brother in Kannada yes, India made legal gender change impossible but my dog learned my new name quicker than the humans and she runs to give me a kiss when she's told to without being confused about who's being referred to

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but I can feel the Adam's apple growing in my throat and my muscles getting stronger, and my smile more real and I'm growing a beard, and I talk more freely

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but I'm here, and I'm alive, and so are you and there are good people, people who care and don't let them make you forget that-- you are not alone.

So I just got another shot from the doctor down the street, and she noticed that my voice has dropped even further, and when she mentioned it she sort of gestured to me, like all of me in general, and said, "It's a wonder, no?"

Like holy fuck that was such a Moment. Yes the world is going to shit but she's right. It's a wonder. I'm becoming more happy, more myself, and I'm able to.

It's a wonder. We are wonders.

I have been telling people for years that the company behind Pokemon Go had no-shit, for-realsies ties to the CIA and people never really took it that seriously. Anyway.

Heads of State (2025) dir. Ilya Naishuller

Heads of State (2025), directed by Ilya Naishuller

I admit that this movie completely surprised me. Idris Elba and John Cena play the British Prime Minister and the US President who crash land somewhere in Belarus and now have to work together to stop some Evil Conspiracy from destroying NATO. I came for a lil' buddy action comedy flick á la Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw But They're Both Government Leaders Now, but I stayed for the nicely done Belarusian brawl with some classic stunt work, rather fitting Russian techno beats, and this gorgeous little detail:

was anyone gonna tell me mitch mcconnell collapsed in his office and has been in the hospital for weeks. wouldve been a nice pick me up.

[petewentzisblack1312]

edit it WASNT in his office it was at HOME. oh well im not that picky.

[petewentzisblack1312]

his aides are being really cagey and the governor is pissed because if hes dead he needs to appoint someone but he needs to know hes dead to do that. typical mitch blocking a democrat appointee. he maybe died doing what he loved i guess.

I’m just an easy mark for dumb pilot humor. Today the captain was like “we’re now at altitude, feel free to move around, my one rule is you must stay inside the plane” and I lost it. It’s funny because you would die a horrible death akin to standing unencumbered on Pluto

the poster that this incredible illustration is based on is extremely striking. but while searching for it, I also found earlier posters for conveying this message along with a corresponding one for summer, and I fucking love them. absolutely lovely graphic design work. (both are from 1924, artist is Austin Cooper)

the one I was looking for originally also has a summer variant. (artist is Frederick Charles Herrick: 'it is warmer below' is from 1927, 'it is cooler below' is 1926)

CURRENTLY SOBBING. OK SOO, RIPLEY IS GAY?!!

and lambert is actually trans?? 😭😭

[not-in-absentia-deactivated2023]

I had to check, it does also appear on screen

[necromanticalscience]

There's a better shot of it in Aliens, right at the start when they're listing the Nostromo crew memebrs!

Also I read that there are deleted scenes of Ripley and Lambert arguing and being more overtly in a relationship. Ever since I learned that it's been my favorite ship.

Oh neat, I didn't know this!

(I'd heard the bit about the role being originally written for a man and they cast a woman, which explained many things.)
