how it feels watching Star Trek for the first time.

[drugstoreperfumemp3]

He wasn't fine. I let go of him. It wasn't a misunderstanding, it wasn't an accident. I let go of him. I watched him clutch the air. I saw him swinging wild as he fell through the clouds. I did it to hurt him. And it did hurt him.

it's a beautiful day at the roman senate and you are a horrible goose

Possible unpopular opinion: treating having a special interest as equivalent to being an expert on the topic is another form of the savant stereotype.

[kaiserin-erzsebet]

For example: I am writing a dissertation on my special interest. Before that, I read everything there was publicly available to read about it.

Since doing professional research with academic training, I've realized that what I thought I knew was dependent on biased, outdated, and generally wrong historiography. Those books I read are incorrect in multiple ways, and I didn't know how badly until I was doing the research myself.

The point is: having a special interest may (and doesn't have to) make you read everything there is about something. But that might lead you to read old things or outdated things or things that are debated without necessarily having the ability to parse what is and isn't good information because you're just glad that it's about Your Thing. It does not make you an expert or even necessarily a discerning reader because the good feelings while reading a Wiki or an old book can make you less critical.

And it's ok that it doesn't! Sometimes the point is to make yourself happy, not to make yourself the most correct person in the room on a given topic.

If you have/had periods, which is worse:

The physical pain

The emotional changes

Having to deal with blood

I have never had a period

Voting ended onMar 16

[desiringmachines]

I want to clarify that it's not about dealing with blood. It's about the blood that's constantly leaking from your body, for days, without your control.

[stewdoesthings]

Fanfiction exists for TWO reasons:

Dealing with complex thoughts and emotions I can't work through in therapy, like grief, despair, a complicated relationship with pain and addiction

Seeing the same characters fuck over amd over again

SOPHIE BAEK 4.02 "Time Transfixed"

[clytemnestraaa]

there’s this thing that happens on this website that’s like the opposite of pissing on the poor and is far better but also still somewhat annoying when you post something where the point is implied and then someone else adds the point you were making in a reblog as though they are like, adding something new and insightful to the post. eg you can post something about a female scientist from the 1800s having her intellect undervalued in her time and someone else is going to add like “that’s so crazy… i think they were treating her this way due to misogyny” and like well yes. i mean… yeah. you got it

New rule: if you've never had to run for a bomb shelter, you don't get to talk for or over people currently running for bomb shelters

[emptydragonseverywhere]

Newer rule: if you don't know what language Iranians speak without looking it up, you need to sit down and shut the fuck up (hint: it is not Arabic!)

[desiringmachines]

PSA: don't run to the bomb shelter. Walk at brisk pace.

Yes, even if you're scared. Yes, even if you have inly 20 seconds. I'm serious, people routinely injure themselves while running to bomb shelters.
