Mamoru has had months to acclimate to his crush on a certain bun head. Finally, heâd gotten his feelings down to nothing but a dull ache â so why exactly is Usagi becoming more irresistible by the day?
this pride month weâre all going to be radically pro transgender. or else.
hey so this means radically pro ALL transgender. donât put limitations on this. all trans people are radically accepted here.
i think it goes without saying but is still worth noting, my beef with booktok literature is 100% about the quality. i LOVE housewives reading weird porn. i wish they would do it more
its 2026 i cannot handle any more fucking "author A obviously ripped off author B" discourse by people Who Have Only Seen the work of author B and admit themselves that they have no further knowledge of the literary landscape they are moving in. like.
Folks really need to reacquaint themselves with this concept
i genuinely can't fucking deal with the larger internet anymore holy shit what the fuck are you people TALKING about. i am at my limit with this stupid bullshit. who the fuck cares if a man is hired to draw medical diagrams for young girls jesus christ we're pearl clutching about medical illustrations now? next you're gonna tell me male pediatricians shouldn't advise parents on their kids' vulva issues? male surgeons shouldn't be in the room when performing a procedure where a woman's breasts or vulva might be exposed? male researchers shouldn't conduct gynecological medical research? sure. better for men to live in ignorance and NEVER ally themselves with us to expand access to sexual education and reproductive healthcare i fucking guess. Twenty thousand likes. i hate it here KILL ME
THIS is the post that got me my first ever anon hate. i'd like to thank the academy tbh
also not related but can ppl on this post being like "yeah STOP being mean to men!!" pls stop cuz that's not the point of what i was saying đ i'm not mad bc someone was mean to a man i'm mad bc feminism is being hijacked by bioessentialist conservative Christian moralist bullshit where the goal seems to be the complete and total segregation of women from men instead of like, the material improvement of women's lives. i don't care if some intsta commenter is mean to men i care that feminism is culturally turning into Nu Conservatism
Fanfiction is insane. You can write porn so good you make friends.
lmao on the edinburgh zoo site it says âthere is a daily penguin parade at 14:15 but it may be cancelled last minute as it is a voulntary parade, we do not coax the penguins with food, and they may not want to go outâ lmao anarchopenguinism
this is the cutest goddamn thing iâve ever heard
I saw the penguin parade. It was a very slow parade, because the pingĂźinos take their sweet time and arenât very fast walkers to begin with.
can I volunteer to be a penguin
I feel like the world needs to know the context of the edinburgh zoo penguin parade, becausr Iâve been going there my entire life and I only found out about this the other year.
So a while back (I canât remember exactly when but I think it was some time around the 40s/50s), a bunch of penguins escaped. A keeper left the gate open so a bunch of penguins just⌠followed them. And the people loved it. Look at these adorable birds outside their cage just following that guy around! So they get all the penguins back inside and realise that none of them really ran off, they just followed the keeper and went back inside and crowd thought it was amazing, so why not make it a regular thing? Get enough people there that if one of them goes to make a run for it (which at least one has in the past), they canât get past the people, and let the ones who want outside have a little wander. So every day, they get a crowd, they open the gate, and whatever penguins want to get out can go, waddle about, squawk at people, and then hop back inside.
Also, one of those penguins is Brigadier Sir Nils Olaf III, Colonel-in-cheif of the Norwegian Kingâs Guard. This isnât really related to the parade at all, I just love the fact that thereâs a penguin in the Norwegian army
Reblogging with Brigadier Sir Nils Olaf III inspecting his troops.
Carry on âŚ
I love everything about this post.
A GOOD POST
A lovely older friend of mine lived in Edinburgh when she was a small child, and regularly attended the penguin parade â as a penguin. That is, she was a small toddler and thus about the right height and speed, and she just waddled along with everyone else who was about 2â high.
So the answer to âcan I volunteer to be a penguinâ is at least occasionally âyes.â
the most essential part of a fandom are those people who immediately tell you to write it, draw it, make it when you share your ideas, you have no idea how many fanworks are born just because someone encouraged it
another great way to make sure this continues is pressing the reblog button and going insane in the tags
immediately adding âfandom conga linesâ to my vocab
cinderella: redo
so i was watching cinderella while doing my nails and waiting for them to dry which was clearly a Mistake because now i canât help but think -
the evil stepmother was always evil, okay. say her abuse of her own daughters was different than that of cinderellaâs - but it was still abuse. giving them impossible expectations, telling them they were never good enough, never pretty enough, never smart enough. and then she gets married, and anastasia and drizella are ecstatic because this man seems kind and warm and maybe just maybe he can temper their mother, maybe with him around she wonât be so cruel. so theyâre on their very best behavior in the beginning, they do just as their mother taught - they trot out their best upper court manners in an attempt to get their new stepfather to like them. but it just comes off as cold and snooty and theyâre trying, they are, theyâre just bad at it. and they see how he is with cinderella, the smiling girl their own age, and they are jealous. they donât mean to be, they try not to be, they know it isnât becoming of young ladies. but she gets hugs and kisses and affection and they get rulers slapped on their hands when they reach for desert and sharp jabs to their sides when they slouch and - soon they hate cinderella, not for anything sheâs done, but for what she has and they dont
but then her father dies. and itâs all a tumble of things and cinderella is crying and theyâve lost their only chance at escaping their motherâs clutches and itâs terrible. and everything settles and thereâs no reason to be jealous anymore but resentment is hard to let go of and they donât know what to do. theyâre only kids too after all. and theyâre so terribly bad at comforting people, they can do flowery words and know all the right bows but cinderella is so sad and they just donât know what to do with that, because theyâre supposed to be sisters but theyâre not even friends
and slowly but surely their mother starts abusing cinderella, starts making her a maid in her own home, and sheâs their mother, what are anastasia and drizella supposed to do? she rules them with an iron fist, and cinderella doesnât even like them anyway, itâs none of their business.
except one night anastasia crawls into her sisterâs bed in the middle of the night and wakes her up. âi was thirsty,â she explains, eyes wide and shiny, and theyâre bad at this with other people but drizella has no problems with pulling anastasia into her arms. the younger girl clutches her sister and continues, âi was thirsty and i went down to the kitchen to get some water and - and cinderella is still up! sheâs doing the dishes, and she should be asleep, mom is going to make her make breakfast in the morning and -â she cuts herself off with a hiccup and whispers, âitâs not fair.â
âlife isnât fair,â drizella says, echoing one of their motherâs favorite phrases. but her sister is staring at her with wet eyes, and itâs not like their mother is likely to get up before sunrise anyway, she hates waking up, so she pulls herself and anastasia out of bed and off they go.

Iâm sorry my lovelies but the reason you hate yourself is because you treat you like shit. If you came up to me and then told me I was a fuck up who could never do anything right I'd fucking hate you too.
if you didn't let me go to bed until after midnight because you'd rather watch Netflix than let me rest, and then got mad at me for not being productive the next day I'd be PISSED
You keep calling me a fatass but you tell other overweight people theyâre beautiful? Why do you keep shitting on MY weight, then?
Oh? Itâs different if itâs me? Wow fuck you too
Love is a verb! Self love isnât a warm fuzzy feeling, it is compassion and action in support of yourself!
And yes, this includes having compassion for the bully in your head. Unfortunately that part is also you and deserves as much of your understanding as the rest of you.
via @corazondebeskar
This is the real reason why you need to be kind to the bully in your brain too, because that motherfucker is really good at doing a switcheroo when you're not paying attention.
from the bottom of my heart: just because something makes you uncomfortable doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed to exist
"But what about <thing that literally kills people>?"
This was on a non rebloggable post so I'm setting it free.
This is true btw
the podcast If Books Could Kill has a really great episode on the original book and its legacy! just a bunch of misogynist evangelical bullshit really
I want to clarify something kind of important because this kinda used to be my field. The concept that people express and feel love in different ways, and that this might lead to misunderstandings, IS something with scientific merit. The idea that there are just five and we know what they are is NOT. The idea that people have a primary love language is NOT.
In science, we have a saying. All models are wrong, but some are useful. Thatâs how I see the love languages framework. It is inherently flawed, but some of its concepts are useful. Communicate with your partner what makes you feel loved and understand what makes them feel loved. Understand how your partner shows love. There is immense value in that. But donât over-index on which one of the five you are. That part doesnât matter.
#love languages#really reblogging for that last comment though#âall models are wrong but some are usefulâ#the concept is sound but the specifics are uhhhh not (via @mad-madam-m)
on another note i know iâve ranted about this before but im mad about it again
true crime has done irreparable fucking damage to middle class white women
every time i see some middle class white mom of two saying âgirlies! you need to get a visible tattoo because then a rando wonât try to snatch you in broad daylight in the middle of the walmart checkout to put you into sex trafficking!â i get pissed off because you are NOT the primary target of trafficking! poor children of colour in underdeveloped countries, indigenous women, sex workers, these are the people in danger!
true crime podcasts always talk about the rare instance a middle class white woman is taken and so these true crime girlies only ever hear about it happening to women like them and start thinking theyâre the main target, but if there were a true crime podcast for every poor non-white child who has been trafficked there wouldnât be enough data centres in the entire world to hold them all! the fact that white women are the focus of these things is because society only gives a shit about white women, and turns a blind eye when women of colour are the ones being victimized!
iâm not saying that middle class white women are completely safe in society, far from it. but the fact that these podcasts prioritize stories of white women is because of white supremacy, and comes with the underlying sentiment of âthese stories matter because they happened to the group of people itâs not supposed to happen toâ, and the way white women are eating it up and making themselves the centre of the issue is a huge fucking problem

Everyone's talking about Artemis II, the first humans to travel to the moon in 50 years
Historic, right? BUT nobody's talking about the Deaf people who made it possible.
In the late 1950's, NASA had a problem.
They needed to understand what weightlessness did to the human body but every test subject kept getting violently motion sick
NASA needed to figure out FAST during the space race!
So, they went to Gallaudet University. They recruited 11 Deaf people.
Because a number of Deaf people had lost their hearing to spinal meningitis as children which also damaged their vestibular system.
Their inner ears couldn't be overwhelmed. They were immune to motion sickness.
NASA put them in centrifuges. Put them on zero gravity flights. A room for 12 straight days.
(All caps) It rotated the entire time.
One experiment on a ferry in choppy Nova Scotia waters, the researchers got so seasick they had to cancel it. The Gallaudet Eleven? They were playing cards.
Their bodies gave NASA the data and research it needed to send humans into space.
No Gallaudet Eleven? No Mercury. No Apollo. No Artemis II.
They stood on the shoulders of 11 Deaf people most people have never heard of.
Now you know!
NASA webpage on the Gallaudet Eleven.
As a society we have benefited so much from successful public health measures that we now have the privilege of declaring that we must not need them anymore
Bitch before enriched flour, neural tube defects like spina bifida were far more common. Even now, spina bifida clinicians and researchers are begging to have salt and maize fortified to reach groups that donât use as much flour. Before iodized salt, the United States had a fucking GOITER BELT. Eleven years after the introduction of fluoridated water, a city in Michigan found the rate of dental caries among school children dropped a staggering 60%â in an era where tooth decay regularly fucking killed people
Iâm literally not even going to start on vaccines, which are among the most successful and robustly studied public health measures in world history
You might say âoh well today we all have access to vitamins and toothpastes and dentists so we donât need those things in our food suppliesâ and boy do white people on social media loooove to fucking say that. But hereâs the thing: no, people donât all have easy access to those things. Thatâs privilege talking yet again
