Tumblr, the place I go when I have a thoughts that could probably just go in a journal but the void still feels like a better depository

Marvel and their secrecy are scary

After auditioning for the Hulk, Mark Ruffalo was told there would a car outside his house at 5AM if he got the part. If it wasn’t there, he didn’t get the role and he should just go back to bed.

Does Marvel believe they’re really S.H.I.E.L.D?

man. remember early in the pandemic, shortly into the telework phase, when a lot of women started vocalizing “wow, i didnt realize just how much time, energy, and even money i was wasting on dolling myself up for work every damn morning, until i didn’t have to do it anymore. i don’t think i’ll go back to doing that when we return to the office? i won’t be a slob or anything, of course, i’m just not going to go out of my way to look pretty at work" and then,

so many people proceeded to lose every last crumb of their shit about it, writing the most asinine crybaby articles ever where they were just. utterly horrified by the possibility that more and more women might become comfortable looking natural/plain and completely opting out of the expectation to look as appealing as possible at all times, even when all they’re doing is spending all day in a cubicle. that was bonkers. lmao.

some ladies were like “during lockdown, i saw myself in the mirror without makeup much more often, and got used to it, so now i don’t feel as anxious for others to see me without makeup on either. i’m comfortable with the face i have, it’s fine just the way it is”

and some absolute dork ass losers heard this and went “truly, this is the death of femininity”

Guys, guys, let’s get back into Animorphs!!!

They are all free to read with Applegate’s permission on the animorphs website!

Oh yeah babey

She has also written some absolutely amazing books recently.

These are just a few of them. I read The One and Only Ivan to my students every year (and there’s a sequel coming out in May!).

Every one of her books I’ve read has been beautifully written. Yes, they’re written for children, but you won’t regret reading a single one of them. Applegate is hands-down my favorite middle grades author.

Read. Her. Books.

I don't know of the pause after "smooth top" where he's clearly considering if he needs to make the innuendo or not, or his reaction to the taste is the best part of this one

Imagine your kids straight up inventing a completely new rules-lite roleplaying game completely separate from D&D during a car trip and then you somehow take it as an example of the flexibility and adaptability of D&D.

I wish all DnD people a very play some indie ttrpgs

corvidivus

He's probably just using d&d as shorthand for all TTRPGs. Y'all don't need to be so bad faith and nasty about a wholesome post damn

thesealfriend

Yeah

[crop of original post screenshot shows text reading "and RPGs in general"]

Also sounds to me OP is probably using the same language shorthands he used with the kids themselves, and/or being aware of the wider non-TTRPG-audience of his Facebook friends - if I have to talk about Any vaguely D20-based game with my family, I'm calling it D&D, because I've explained that and they know what it is.

Basic etiquette when you're talking about someone's interests:

✅ Do: Encourage people to engage in examples of the hobby outside of the one big popular one

❌ Don't: shit on them for using the language of the big popular one, regardless of their reasons, or for enjoying it to begin with

Story time:

In middle school biology, we did an experiment. We were given yams, which we would sprout in cups of water. We then had to make hypotheses about how the yams would grow, based on descriptions of yam plants in our books, and make notes of our observations as they grew.

Here’s what was supposed to happen: we were supposed to see that the actual growth of the plant did not resemble our hypotheses. We were then supposed to figure out that these were, in fact, sweet potatoes.

What actually happened was that every single student in every single class lied in their notes so that their observations perfectly matched their hypotheses. See, everyone assumed the mismatch meant they had done something wrong in the process of growing the plant or that they had misunderstood the dichotomous key or the plant identification terminology. And, thanks to the wonders of a public school education, everyone assumed the wrong results would get us a failing grade. We were trying to pass. We didn’t want to get bitched out by the teacher. Curiosity, learning, science - that had nothing to do with why we were sitting in that classroom. So we all lied.

The teacher was furious. She tried to fail every student, but the administration stepped in and told her she wasn’t allowed to because a 100% fail rate is recognized as a failure of the teacher, not the class. It wasn’t even her fault, really, though her being a notorious hard-ass didn’t help. It was a failure of the entire educational system.

So whenever I see crap like Elizabeth Holmes’s blood test scam or pharmaceutical trials which are unable to be replicated or industry-funded research that reaches wildly unscientific conclusions, I just remember those fucking sweet potatoes. I remember that curiosity dies when people are just trying to give their superiors the “right” answers, so they can get the grade, get the job, get the paycheck. It’s not about truth when it’s about paying rent. There’s no scientific integrity if you can’t control for human desperation.

Modern things that I think Dionysus is the patron god of:

assless chaps

gnc men

mechanical bulls

television

grape flavored candy and soda

juggalos

deadheads

weed

gas station cigars

trans masc people

antidepressants

I think he’s the god of music festival go-ers, people who follow bands (deadheads, juggalos etc.) and hippies/wooks. Like, not the music just the people who let themselves fall into madness and act as modern bacchantes.

I think, since he’s the alleviator of worries, he’s the god of antidepressants and sedatives used to treat anxiety. Also any intoxicant that’s not an upper.

I think he’s the god of rodeo cowboys and mechanical bulls in remembrance of Ampelos. I also associate kinky western-wear with him for similar reasons.

I feel like the rest are self-explanatory.
