Happy pride month to the tiny cowboy and tiny Trojan man from Night at the Museum
This hands down the best comment in the notes, I will not be taking criticism.
this post's hypothetical by itself is already ridiculous but the thing that gets me is how the wording implies two very funny things that become funnier in tandem
1. "Accidentally, the pitcher tosses a Christian baby" means this is a mistake on the pitcher's part. i imagine the pitcher is breastfeeding on the field and they pitch and they look down at their hands and they see the ball still in the glove and they go "fuck"
2. hitting the baby will still win you the game
And what if the world was made of pudding?
Trump shit sandwiches go down easy with the racism.
Republican men hate women. Women who support conservative men are settling for crumbs as other women are targetted and harassed by men who sexually assault/rape women and children.
The misogyny is manifest. #EJeanCarroll
btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

"you unfluff this instant."
I just pointed out to my roommate that Rocky and Adrian have been together for 118 years.
When Rocky tells Grace this it has been in space for almost 50 years.
The faith this Eridian has that its mate is still waiting for it rivals Odysseus.
I enjoy experiencing surgery for the same reason I enjoy plane travel: I am not responsible for anything. As soon as I have stepped in and professionals have taken charge, I am in the hands of fate and my fate is in their hands. I have become cargo, the doer of jack shit. I am getting a good grade at being a faultless meat slab, something that is both normal to want, and possible to achieve.
lesbian meet cute ( but it’s Blip A and the Hail Mary)
I love my friend, they are dear to me.
They keep texting me and it pauses my audiobook every time and if they keep it up I am bribing their cat to bite them while they sleep.
white ppl will steal every aesthetic from black culture and then call it something so stupid like bo derek braids instead of box braids or hasbin hotel core instead of black southern dandism. yall will bend over backwards to call my culture barbaric/scary just to drool over the aesthetic the moment no actual black people are involved (21 pilots vs actual reggae). And if ur white/nonblack reading this just reblog. I dont need any comments talking about how not racist you are + speaking up over actual black people.
Sometimes I will see accounts on here that will be like "has anyone heard from *insert widely active and famous Tumblr account*??? I haven't seen any of their posts in weeks and when I look them up it's like they don't exist!!"
Dude. They blocked you.
You've been blocked.
You developed a parasocial relationship and they found you annoying. Put the phone down. Go touch grass.
This email has already found you. You had better hope I don’t find you next.
“but what if you abort the baby who’ll cure cancer?!” sir the baby who will cure cancer is an organic chemistry major who works at a Home Depot because you use AI to go through your resumes

one person does not cure cancer. teams of scientists who rely on funding from the government cure cancer. one person's singular novel ingenuity is not what is stopping us from curing cancer; fucking CAPITALISM IS.
Literally.

Trust me man we don't understand it either!!
The closer it gets to my vacation the closer I come to tears bc what is all this bullshit.
Major book and movie Project Hail Mary Spoiler
It didn't sink in for me when I watched the movie that when Grace has to choose between saving Rocky or going back to Earth he's essentially given a second chance at the choice he had between going on a suicide mission to save Earth or living out the rest of his life. The book does a much better job of making the stakes clear. This time he does the thing he was too afraid to do. I often wonder if he feels any shame for the decision he made the first time. He's too angry at Stratt to feel anything else right away. The anger is protective. It's better if he keeps his mind on the goal. In the book he's extra motivated to survive so he can get home and confront Stratt. But I wonder if in the calm, once the immediate concerns are met he doesn't think back to what Stratt made him do and feel guilty that he could not choose to do it on his own. I wonder if he has any gratitude towards her.
It's a complicated question,
I do think he would have mixed feelings, saving an entire planet is something that can be hard to grasp, he's not a savior. He's just a guy who managed to figure out something that other scientists could have figured out first had the world tilted differently.
Then because of that he is suddenly a sacrifice, no other choice in the matter. Knowing that the rest of his world had chosen for him and now he had to die for them no if ands or buts.
There is a cognitive dissonance between one person and the billions of people on the planet. Surely someone else could do it, if they just waited a moment they could find someone else. Please, wait, don't send me to die for people who don't know and never cared.
Meanwhile, saving one person, one person who he has been close to for months. Who did everything to save his life when they had the chance. His best friend, he had to choose between one person and the rest of his life, already knowing that if the tables were reversed rocky would do the same had done the same.
He had to find the person to be brave for. He had to know it mattered.
I don't think he would be grateful, but I think that he would forgive and understand.
