Burbling brooks have nothing on me

i can’t stop thinking about the time my roommate and i asked our insanely ripped neighbor brian who wore flip flops year round and sunglasses on the back of his head for help with carrying a solid wood dresser up to our apartment. he wanted to get his son who was home from college to come help too so he takes out his phone and goes, “siri, call christian christianson” and turns speaker phone on while we stand there sort of stunned by the name and after a few rings cc answers, “what the hell do you want” and brian just hangs up without responding and is all, “kids, am i right” then carries the dresser up four flights of stairs pretty much by himself. we offered him a six pack of rainier as thanks which he immediately opened in our kitchen and downed 2/6 beers in 10 mins while telling us about his 1989 dodge ram 1500 he was trying to get his son to restore with him to no avail. really nice guy. we never saw his son before he went back to school but any time i ask my roommate for help with lifting stuff or reaching something he says, “siri, call christian christianson” and we reminisce about brian and his truck.

this is the level of analysis we’re looking for here people

i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!

"The customer is always right"

wrong: The customer is literally always correct, in factual matters, and cannot be disputed. correct: The customer is always right in matters of taste. If they're here to spend money and want to buy the ugliest thing you've ever seen, you must not argue them about it. correctest: In every person there are two souls locked in eternal combat - one is the disciplined, good-willed, and financially responsible one, and the other one is The Customer, who will always yearn to buy some stupid shit. Your job is to side with The Customer, and do your best Emperor Palpatine "do it" to persuade them.

Random thing for people to consider is that since Laika is the saint of one way trips should Felicette be known as the saint of safe landings since she did make it back to the ground safely

[somefishycat]

tu LANCES félicette ? tu lances son corps comme la fusée ? oh ! oh ! prison pour les scientifiques ! prison pour les scientifiques pendant Un Mille Ans !

[bug-yogurt]

You can understand the French perfectly fine with only context but the English translation I got still had me floored

[thefringeperson]

Just for those who weren't quite sure what we were launching Felicette like, and wanted to be certain.

[image ID: You launch his body like a rocket?] (Taken from google translate directly. I have nothing to do with Felicette's misgendering by google.)

I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.

I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.

I absolutely love how the PHM fandom has decided that Adrian is GINORMOUS. But I also love how Adrian is just getting larger as time goes on.

Waiting for a post that's like:

Grace: "I'm kinda nervous to meet Adrian..."

Rocky: "Grace already met Adrian."

Grace: "What???"

Rocky: "Adrian is ground Grace stands on right now."

[justshipsandstuff]

Uhhhh..I think I just wanted an excuse to make the Eridian baby trebuchet

[mimic-firstaid]

@habken made art on some old man Grace and I made a dumb little comment saying that Eridian scientists would need to find a way to replicate that old person candy. Then I was graced with this comment by @uhmimpostingart :

And it has been bouncing around in my head… now we all get to suffer ‘cause I share my brain rot doodles

"if i had a time machine i would go back in time and kill hitler"

I would put sea mines around medieval britain. i would give hannibal barca ww2 era heavy artillery and tell him not to stop till he starts seeing gauls. i would give boudica a fucking abrams. i would appear before jesus like an angel and tell him "you gotta stop. not cause theyll kill you, youre fine with that, surprisingly, but because your fanclub is gonna spend about 1500 years making everything worse for everyone, everywhere." I would take a glock back in time and shoot romulus, shoot remus, and shoot that damn dog too just to be safe. i would be on the side of christopher columbus' ship in a scuba suit planting c4 on that bitch like rainbow six siege. i would be waging a one woman campaign of terror across andalusia to prevent the reconquista. i would be getting way out in front of that shit is what im saying,

Hal Jordan: Space Cop

I need a fic where Hall Jordan: Green Lantern is out being a space cop.

But like, with really bad people. Gimme the angst, the action, adventure- give me Hal Jordan: Green Lantern who’s been awake for four day tracking down this trafficking ring that’s been jumping between 50 different planets randomly and hiding in asteroids and such

Give me tired Hal who knows there a connection between eight different cases and he’s gotta find out what before the victim disappears into the void of space- maybe literally.

Hal Jordan, whose street smarts and bar fights help him solve cases involving entirely alien languages, culture, people and customs. I want him to laugh over the similarity of motive throughout the galaxies.

I want him to cry over the universal cruelty of people looking to make money and power and I want him to hate it.

I want Hal Jordan to prove himself as much as a detective as Batman- not in the same way, not with the same methods, but I want him to be able to hold his own in some areas, exceed in others and fall flat in the rest.

Hal Jordan who barely remembers how Earth Laws, Earth Judicial Courts and Earth Prisons operates, but will easily and effortlessly rattled off self defense laws from a planet three sectors over, imprisonments terms for three levels of crime from a small planet in the farther corner of his own sector and the entire legal process for arresting a slaver on Lithargos. 

Including the different forms of paperwork between one slaver, multiple slavers and a single and/or multiple slavers operating out of a larger group.

Someone asks Hal Jordan a question about copyright infringement and he will absent mindedly go into great detail on how such a thing is blasphemy and the courts will give you a death sentence for that. Not just any death, of course, but one that uses what you stole as a method of death.

Give me smart space cop Hal, tired, angry, upset Hal working on a dead line and mumbling to himself in an alien language, trying to connect the clues that will never make sense on Earth, in any culture, at any moment in history.

[north-peach]

Give me Hal Jordan who is entirely bullshitting all of the answers to the questions the Green Lantern’s medical corps is asking.

Sleep? Optional.

Food? Can survive off caffeine.

Nah, it’s fine, I’m good.

Hal Jordan becomes the first human Green Lantern, succeeding Abin Sur and oh boy, the learning curb on his side is mocked, ignored and sneered at, while the actual information on the care and feeding of humans is outright ignored if not gently glossed over.

And Hal? Hal’s just been told if you are stubborn enough, the magic green light will do it.

Hal is forced to return to Earth on medical leave when he physically can’t fight anyone. When he’s nonresponsive for several hours rather then several minutes.

I mean, yeah, in a couple years, it’s acknowledged that Hal Jordan is a worthy inheritor of Abin Sur’s will, but the damage has been done.

@wolfsrainrules

[wolfsrainrules]

I think about Hal Jordan: Space Batman, who only pops onto Earth for medical recovery, and saves the world anyway ALL THE TIME.

Ra’s Al Ghul didn’t go crazy because of the Pit. He went crazy because he picked up a Gotham nepo baby who wouldn’t stop training until he passed out flat on his face, Talia said she liked him, and Ra’s’ brain simply snapped in half.

[lurkinglurkerwholurks]

I am holding Ra's in one hand and King Triton in the other hand and just rotating them like puzzle pieces

Great news everyone. There was a kitten wandering in the drive thru at work and my inner warrior cats kid tried to be a hero and capture him.

I have now suffered multiple puncture wounds and have to go to the emergency room.

[sandersstudies]

Me: I shall become his mother and gain his trust

Me talking to an animal control officer five minutes later: he is a nasty horrid little boy and I am bleeding heavily

[sandersstudies]

Animal control officer on the phone: So he’s in your car with you?

Me: Um. It’s his car now and he’s very mad at me.

[sandersstudies]

Second animal control officer: oh you captured him and got him in your car? He’s friendly?

Me, my right hand completely wrapped in paper towels: wouldn’t say that

[sandersstudies]

Urgent Care Nurse: Wow it’s strange he managed to get you so many times.

Me: I uh. Did not let go.

[borgesperovago]

You vibe as someone prone to toxic relationships

[sandersstudies]

People on tumblr will just say anything huh.

[borgesperovago]

Oh cmon, "he hurt me a lot cause i couldn't let go" absolutely has double interpretation.

[sandersstudies]

Me, holding a cat (of unknown gender) as it repeatedly digs its little teeth deep into my flesh: Is this… too… yuri?

Hoping you have no new scratches or bites that need medical attention. Also, wishing the new little kitten the best.

[sandersstudies]

“They have learned nothing (affectionate!)” is going to become my new catchphrase.
