Every time I see that last pic, I have to note that the funniest line is the one immediately after the highlight

"this thing is rare and only affects 1% of the population" dude that's 80 million people can you shut up

[villainessbian]

"this thing is so rare, if you put everyone it affects on an island it would be the 20th most populated country in the world, more than the UK, more than South Korea, and more than Canada AND Australia AND Tunisia all put together. we can literally forget about it that's not many people"

#is this about autism?

it's about autism and EDS and intersex variations and about trans people and also it's about golden blood and it's about blind people, it's about screaming all day long and howling the night out that you exist even if you're not everywhere, you're small but your heart beats and your lungs pump air and they want you forgotten in the pages of a book they won't read

“Do dishes” and “take out trash” both require the use of a spell slot, vs “use phone” is a cantrip, and brother, I am a level one wizard

love how murderbot makes it about six hours as part of an actual crew before contracting a case of o captain my captainitis. classic mistake

[romanceyourdemons]

“dr mensah is murderbot’s mother figure!” “no, she’s its romantic interest!” you’re all wrong, murderbot is a jaded 19th century royal marine and dr mensah is the first charismatic captain it’s ever had and brother it did not stand a chance

There was a parenting-kids-with-trauma book I remember running into around 2010 (I was not and am still not a parent, but I am an older sibling) that had a lovely little slogan I like to quote all the time:

“It’s not about the Cheerios.”

This was in reference to a story about a kid flipping the HELL out into a full-blown panic about running out of their favorite cereal. Not a tantrum, not a whine-fest, but an all-hands-on-deck, code-red, world-is-ending blowup.

The kid had originally come from a very unstable situation and experienced food deprivation. The new adoptive parents were stumped, because look at all the other food! You’re safe! We can get the Cheerios tomorrow!

But it wasn’t really about the Cheerios, it was about that first flicker of unease triggering all the old trauma. From the outside, it looked ridiculous. To the trauma-trained reaction of the kid’s brain, it made perfect sense.

Human brains are weird, and we’re all out here trying to survive. Sometimes our brains do this in socially acceptable, convenient ways. But not often.

(The book was titled “Beyond Logic, Consequences or Control” I think, I’ll look it up and edit this in a bit.)

“this character did not act in the most objectively logical way possible!” is not ! actually valid literary criticism

I pulled my sister in law for the family holiday gift swap this year and I'm vibrating with excitement. I've been wanting to get her for years. she's the most basic woman I've ever met and I mean that with admiration that borders on fear. Her house is full of inspirational quotes in cursive. Her bathroom has a "Lashes Long Coffee Strong" poster and she doesn't even drink coffee. Her makeup is Did. Her hair is Did. She is fashionably tipsy at every occasion. She sells bougie wine for a living and brings a hair curler with her on vacation. She is the maximalist luxury target consumer for literally everything. I am obsessed with her the way a gay man is obsessed with Liza Minelli. I would buy her a pink rhinestone car with lashes on the headlights if it wasn't a bit outside the secret santa spending limit.

Ideas I've had so far:

A gold plated wine opener with her name engraved on it

some kind of classy-but-cunty Christmas decor. Something chi-chi and sparkly that's giving "oh, it's Christmas, bitch"

one of those instax mini cameras in a color like "blossom pink" because you know this diva scrapbooks

those little bone china Tiffany's cups that are made to look like cheap disposable paper cups but they're Tiffany blue and they say "Tiffany's" on them (because you know this diva is obsessed with Tiffany's)

a Swarovski birthstone bracelet because you know this diva actually gives a shit about her birthstone

I hope none of this comes off as sarcastic because if my kidneys were gold and made by Louis Vuitton I'd give her one of those. This woman is delightful and friendly and warm and organizes the family photo with an air of command fit for a British naval commodore. She is more self-actualized than me, she is happier than me, her chi is clean, and she still talks about her quinceañera. Her wedding was "Tuscan-themed." How do I please this perfect angel. What should be my tribute

[ariaste]

OP here is what you're going to do. There is no more basic bitch gift than a GIFT BASKET. You're going to assemble this one yourself.

It's going to have the gold plated wine opener with her name on it. It's going to have a scented candle. It's going to have a Lush bath bomb. It's going to have the pinkest loofah you can find. It's going to have a moisturizing face mask. It's going to have a little sign for her to hang on the bathroom door that says "Don't interrupt my ✨Diva Time✨" in glittery writing. It's going to have a sand-etched wine glass that says "Live, Laugh, Love, Drink Wine In The Bath". It's going to have some Lindt chocolate truffles. It's going to also have a sparkly christmas ornament and i trust you to pick one that fits the general theme here. If you still need to fill it in, you're going to add a gift card to Sephora or, if you would like bonding opportunities, a little envelope with a hand-written "gift card" for "[Spa day/mani-pedis/whatever] with your Favorite Sister-in-Law, you choose the day <3". Maybe also some cute scrapbook stickers.

You're going to get a basket and some of that shredded tissue paper filler, and you're going to arrange all this neatly in it. This woman is going to go CRAZY for a gift basket, and i think you know that in your heart.

"I want my media to be historically accurate"

Cool, so you want natural fiber costumes with no/nuanced corset slander, people wearing colors, historical hairstyles, people wearing hats or headcoverings and long sleeves outside during the day, no potatoes or pumpkins in pre-columbian Europe, actors with textured skin and wrinkles, minimal makeup, consulting HEMA groups and weapons scholars for all the weapons and fight scenes, a good soundtrack that includes traditional instruments?

Oh, you mean you want 100% white people. Even in crowd scenes in port cities. There's a different word for that.

This scene's a multi-pronged comedy attack sequence. Anakin being late for his duties because he was eating warm sushi and making out with his wife. Shows up just to have his sacred order's High Council troll him about his sex life. Learns that his wife has ex-boyfriends (he also learned she can cook. Not sure these two ever talked.) We learn that Yoda and company presumably read checkout aisle gossip rags because how else do they know about this Clovidala tea? It just gets better and better with every line.

hard cider was invented when someone decided to make beer that tastes good instead of bad

[impossiblepackage]

[henstomper]

Overlock Stitch by @clothes_reetzy

[thatisuseful]

Damn, that's useful

[fluidstatick]

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.
