About me

Hi! Thank you for reading!

Laura Sinele is the overused pen name of a millennial who got into the internet culture a bit late in life. This is my main blog, a giant doom box of reblogs.

Be advised: I'm queer and AFAB, I've got bipolar II, CPTSD, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, which means sometimes, among miscellaneous memes and random essays or rants, I post about these things.

Discussing baby’s future

[melodiusfaux]

They are both doing the "I want" chitter. They very much want to get up, but they have a sleeping baby cuddling with them. They must endure, but they will not be silent about it

[pb-dot]

Well well well, kitties. Looks like you want to get up but there's a little cat on you so you can't. Very frustrating situation there, can't imagine the burden of being held down by a little adorable kittycat. Couldn't, as the kids say, be me.

Personally I do think that sometimes non-hockey fans can end up mischaracterizing Shane and Ilya because they don't know enough about hockey/hockey playstyles

The Ilya we see in Heated rivalry would not be throwing the first punch, he's not an enforcer. Ilya is a star center and a Pest. He wouldn't be doing his job correctly if he was punching players every other game, it would end up with not enough ice time to let him be the playmaker he's paid to be.

But being a pest can be playmaking! Find a player to bait, emotionally push them just enough that they try to fight you, and then get the fuck out of there before the ref gives you both penalties. This gets your team the power play. There is probably someone on Ilya's line dedicated to helping him get out of the fights he starts, and finishing them for him!

I also think this is also something that Shane would respect. Ilya is good at it and it's a good strategy for his team. I don't think Shane would see it as some dirty tactic, because Shane probably thinks everyone with a brain can see it for what it is! He probably thinks everyone should be able to see that being an asshole is a tactic for Ilya, that it's something to ignore and not fall for, that it's a strategy and not personal beef.

I think Shane's more disappointed when a Metro falls for it. Shane sees it as Ilya set up a Looney Toons ass obvious trap and one of his teammates ran into it. Why be mad at Bugs Bunny when you can be mad at your defenceman for falling for a fucking Bugs Bunny trap.

thank you for providing this knowledge and i hope women's hockey stressing stage resolves quickly and favorably for your emotional well-being

my sister decorated a cat yesterday

[piecesofbrokenrecollections]

This was now a decade ago but I got news about this kitty from someone who works at the clinic he lived in: he lived up to 20 years old 💙

it's #TheLaughingWillow for me.

[thoodleoo]

thinking about the fertility test in the hippocratic text "on barrenness" where the doctor is supposed to peel a clove of garlic and stick it in the womans pussy to see if he can smell the garlic in her mouth the next day. putting aromatics in my pussy would not have been my first thought as a person struggling to get pregnant in ancient greece but i guess garlic fixes just about anything

[thoodleoo]

if the doctor could smell the garlic it meant that nothing was blocking the pathway between mouth and vagina and hence was a good sign for your fertility. which does imply the inverse that if you eat garlic you should be smelling absolutely delicious down there the next day when you think about it

[thoodleoo]

if i had a nickel for everyone who has now told me theyve put garlic in their pussy. well i'd have more nickels than i would have expected. thank you for your service

[laurasinele]

please don't put food inside your holes. i mean it, it messes up your pH and facilitates infections of all kinds. I know the idea of using whipped cream, chocolate, butter, etc. is always there thanks to media but you should only use products specifically meant for your butt of vagina. you can play with food if you want but only externally (clit, labia, penis and perineal are ok). this has been a psa by a former sex shop clerk.

📷 INFORMATION ABOUT BIRDS...

Mavera Yordam

Brehm's tiger parrot (Psittacella brehmii), also known as Brehm's ground parrot, is a small mainly green parrot found in the highlands of New Guinea, from 1,500-2,600m (extremes 1,100-3,800m). The species is named after Alfred Brehm (1829–1884), a German traveller and collector.

[laurasinele]

i beg you to look at this sassy bird

writing tip #4183:

apparently some readers only read dialogue now, so make sure you put anything important in quotation marks

[gr8writingtips]

i'm sorry, "apparently some readers only read dialogue now, so make sure you put anything important in quotation marks"

[aropride]

if your animal is lying on the floor, furniture etc, it’s important to take a picture of them. then, if they move or shift in any way, it’s important to take another picture. with this technique, you can take many pictures of your animal

Do you know of any arachnids who ventured towards carcinisation?

no because the term "carcinization" was created to describe the tendency for marine decapod crustaceans to convergently evolve crab-like body plans, it was never supposed to be applicable to other animals!

I blame pop science for spreading it around as a funny term that got misunderstood and misapplied basically from that point onward. most other animal groups don't get their own term for this phenomena and carcinization does NOT apply because... these animals aren't evolving into crabs. only decapods do that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(decapods are the marine crustacean group with ten legs- true crabs, lobsters, hermit crabs, robber crabs, mantis shrimp, prawns, slipper lobsters, and all of their infinite assorted relatives in the deep blue sea)

[laurasinele]

give us back carcinization, bunjy. first warning.

[bunjywunjy]

one more word from you and no dessert tonight

[laurasinele]

what if i got one of these bad boys

[gayfrasier]

[armandageddon]

who gives a shit if the heated rivalry actors are queer or not. if they're queer then good for them for getting to play queer roles and if they're straight but this cheerfully willing to have hot sweaty gay sex with other men on television for our entertainment then more power to them too. other straight men should take notes. whats the issue here again

[skull-bearer]

[glitterary]

I remember—2006, approximately—watching Queer as Folk with a friend from high school. We were both queer, both closeted except to close friends. We had the door closed and were ready to slam the laptop shut at a second’s notice, because if his parents realised what he was watching, he would get in trouble.

There was a scene where two male characters were kissing passionately, and my friend turned to me almost breathlessly, saying “They’re both straight in real life, isn’t that amazing?”

For all I know, either or both of those actors might have turned out to be queer, but that’s not what mattered. In that moment, to both of us, it meant so much that two straight guys were willing to risk their future careers to give us some representation that was almost non-existent at the time. 

It's because of actors (straight or closeted) taking those risks that we have the much more queer-friendly media landscape we do now. And it's still a risk for actors to disclose their queerness, or take queer roles, if only because shows telling queer stories still get disproportionately cancelled. I don't give a flying fuck whether the actors are queer. What matters is that they’re telling stories that matter to us, and the more people there are who are willing to do that, the better our lives become.
