So, apparently, my lust for this shirt was so great that Redbubble accidentally sent me two of them and is letting me keep the extra. I have literally no need for two of the same hoodie, so I’m gonna give it to one of you guys!

This black, fleece-lined hoodie features a screen-printed design of famous space-bros Carl Sagan and Neil deGrasse Tyson in the style of Adventure Time. It’s a very high-quality product; nice and cozy.

The hoodie is a UNISEX SIZE SMALL and is BRAND NEW.

RULES:

Reblog to enter. Likes don’t increase your chances, but this shirt is ballin’ out of control, so I’ll understand if you can’t help yourself.

You can reblog as many times as you like.

NO GIVEAWAY BLOGS. Last time I did a giveaway like this, a vast majority of the entries were for give-blogs and it was just too difficult to get in touch with the actual winners.

You don’t need to be following me, but it’s a nice sentiment. I mean, if you’re into this hoodie, we’re probably supposed to be friends already, but it’s okay to be shy too.

Fuck tumblr, you may enter regardless of where on the planet you live. I will ship it anywhere.

Make sure your inbox is enabled. That is how I will be contacting the winner.

Winner will be selected using a random number generator on 27 May.

Good luck!

If you think abortions ok, remember what Horton says.

[stfuprolifers]

Awkward. Dr. Seuss and his wife were really liberal and pro-choice. They’ve even threatened to sue pro-life organizations for using this quote the wrong way (the way you’re doing it actually). I guess you didn’t already know that Horton Hears a Who is about the American occupation of Japan post-WWII. He even dedicated it to his dear Japanese friend.

Mrs. Geisel (Mrs. Seuss) continued donating to Planned Parenthood and advocating for reproductive health and rights after her husband died.

I have a longer rant about this, but I’m pissed as everloving fuck that Benedict Cumberbatch is, indeed, playing Khan Noonian Singh.

TIME’s new cover makes me so mad I could write essays about it, but instead I’m going to keep job hunting since in today’s world a university degree means nothing and therefore like much of my generation, I’m stuck choosing between minimum wage jobs and internships that I can’t afford to accept in an attempt to pay off my tens of thousands of dollars worth of student debt.

[crystalzelda]

I’d be interested in reading this article to see exactly what makes us entitled and lazy. Are we lazy because more of us are completing high school and going to college than ever before? Are we entitled because our standard of living is declining? Do we live with our parents because we’re too slothful to leave or is because our education costs are getting steeper and steeper while we’re getting less and less aid?

Tell us, Time Magazine, about how we’re narcissistic little slugs when we’re faced with an economic crisis that resulted in a lowering of our standard of living, an increase in tuition costs and how when we get out of our very expensive schools, more and more of us are going to end up working minimum wage jobs.

Here’s some stuff to help you guys out, because this is some bullshit:

A fantastic article in the Atlantic Online about how these sorts of articles are cyclical, suffer the same sorts of problems as most bullshit NY-media-originated trend pieces, and that some of Stein’s facts are incorrect.

An interview with Stein at the AV Club when he was on tour for his book Man Made: A Stupid Quest for Masculinity that also happened in the immediate aftermath of his weird article claiming that adults should not be reading YA novels, in which he says, in part:

Yeah, I’m definitely arguing against a flexible definition of adulthood. Obviously, there’s nothing wrong with reading the occasional young-adult novel. I read King Dork for work, and I thought it was pretty awesome. I guess Catcher In The Rye would now be called young-adult writing, and I would obviously think an adult should read that. But no, it’s part of the same reason I wrote the book, because I think there’s something to be gained from being a man and being an adult, and that if we wallow in our childhoods for the rest of our lives, we’re missing a lot. I’ve actually tried to transition myself out of rock music, to start listening to classical music. I think by not becoming an adult, that’s a lazy way of not fully enjoying or experiencing life. Like I won’t go see The Avengers. I don’t feel like, as an adult, I should be responsible for knowing the difference between The Hulk’s relationship to Thor and Captain America. I don’t feel like I should be having that discussion at dinner parties.

Look, I’m an X’er, and I think this entire yadda yadda is pretty much crap, lacking in nuance, and I would like to apologize for this humorless, in-love-with-pointless-markers-of-adulthood dude.  I’m perfectly happy to discuss The Avengers at dinner parties.  Also that business about not listening to rock anymore is patently ridiculous.  It’s so received, like being an adult means being someone you are not, instead of being exactly who you are and being okay with it.

[wrangletangle]

I have other issues with Lewis, but:

“Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” - C. S. Lewis

That episode where you find out that a member of the zany villain squad actually has a heartbreaking past, which includes a bit where he pushes himself to perform a feat that has never been done before and has never been done since, all for the sake of love, only to be rejected as a freak.

[sage-nebula]

All three of them have heartbreaking pasts.

Meowth’s was listed above.

James had abusive (at the very least neglectful, but they didn’t care how he was treated so long as he awarded them prestige) parents who had engaged him to a sociopath, who wanted to whip him and change everything about him to be more “presentable.” He ran away and was on the streets for a long time before he finally joined a crime ring. 

Jesse was raised by a single mother, and the two of them were so poor that they rarely had actual food; her mother would make her a “feast” out of snow in the winter that Jesse considered to be a treat because that’s how badly they were starving. If the audio dramas are to be believed, Jesse’s mother was also a member of Team Rocket, who disappeared (read: died) on an expedition searching for Mew, leaving Jesse alone. And then Jesse, like James (and Meowth) was so desperate for a means to survive that she (inadvertently?) followed in her mother’s footsteps and joined Team Rocket/a life of crime just to get by.

“Zany villains” they may be, but Jesse, James, and Meowth are the three deepest characters on the show. I love them.

^ I love you for explaining Team Rocket to the masses.

I made a series of Calming Bunnies (based off of the Calming Manatee meme) for my friend Gab, who isn’t a huge fan of manatees!

We can always use more bunnies, I think.
