I’m slowly beginning to accept the reality that 2007 was not last year but in fact almost four years ago

I also think that the strength gap is at least partially manufactured women would in fact be stronger overall if little girls were encouraged to do physically taxing games and activities and eat their fill while they’re growing vs having to constantly diet and be sedentary indoors (or god forbid do intense cardio while under-eating). The amount of adult women honestly afraid to lift weights bc they think they’ll get bulky as though bulking isn’t a full time job that athletes have to spend all their time on and anyone on earth gets shredded from just using their adult muscles for their intended purpose, girl your bone density 🥀

[goldcrescent]

if you say women are intentionally nerfed from birth in 2026 people look at you like you’re insane and start condescendingly telling you about how women are just better at different things (but not during their periods haha) but this was a completely basic feminist talking point I grew up with like “girls can do it too! [shot of little girls climbing and running with boys]” nickelodeon commercial tier base level I hate it how is everyone suddenly dumber than the average 7 year old

Put this together and I dread to think how long a novel by an autistic gay Frenchman would be. :p

there’s a post on tumblr about like. if you could do something to bring people a little relief, why wouldn’t you do it? which has unironically informed my practice as a nursing student and patient care tech

i’m glad no one made any unpleasant comments on this post that might distract from the message because that would really suck

Gideon the Ninth movie finishes, curtains close, and the music over the aftercredits is a somber cover of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up

[shiroikabocha]

Then in the HtN movie, there’s a somber instrumental leitmotif that plays every time Harrow encounters something that should remind her of [ORTUS]— but it trails off unfinished each time.

Until it DOESN’T, and it becomes clear that the leitmotif was the opening notes of Never Gonna Give You Up, and we get a triumphant, orchcestral rendition of the song playing over a montage of Gideon slaying Heralds and keeping Harrow’s thumbs on

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.

[podcastwizard]

lot of people commenting on this post like "who eats lunch at 4pm that's a terrible time to eat lunch" yes. that is the point. 4pm lunch is inadvisable. 4pm lunch is not the ideal. 4pm lunch makes the mind demons real.

Still thinking about this mobile game ad I got. You will f**k increasingly large creatures.

It is HILARIOUS that they're censoring fuck. Let's not offend any delicate sensibilities by dropping a complete f-bomb in the middle of explaining the rules of the monster fucking 💦💦💦 game.

This is going to enter my vocabulary

unfortunately i can never hate on a "power of friendship" narrative no matter how corny because the thing is it's literally real
