let's see where this goes

european, bi/pan, weird mix of fandoms, music, shitposting, history, nature. you'll figure it out...

Ed ‘Blackbeard’ Teach + Leather

Costume Designer: Christine Wada

[ouyangzizhensdad]

“vegan leather” “artificial whale bone” “synthetic fabric”

[minotauri]

“humanity is inherently selfish and bad” bbbrrrghuhjfkg. humanity is seeing a stranger’s grocery bag break open on the sidewalk and harvesting fruits and veggies from the branch-like cracks of the asphalt for them, just because you can. humanity is helping a lost child find their mother on a crowded beach, looking for the ladybug-patterned parasol with their hummingbird-small hand in yours. it’s an elder’s fingers wrapped around your arm as you help them up the stairs because the elevator is broken, and feeling like you’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing, like this is what you would’ve been doing had you been alive centuries or even millennia ago. there will always be a heavily pregnant woman who will smile at your when you give up your seat, a nice blind man in the fruit aisle who will ask you to please pick the riper plantain for him, a tired cashier whose face will light up when you compliment their tattoo sleeve. humanity is connection

[leviathan-supersystem]

boy oh boy sure am glad that during this crisis I get to experience Capitalist Plenty

and not Socialist Deprivation

[leviathan-supersystem]

rlly makes u think

[snottsniff]

hahahahahaha!!!!!!!! 50 years on and Vietnam is still beating America’s ass !!!!!!!!!!

[friendly-neighborhood-patriarch]

uh huh

[undeadwill]

You know how china lies?

Vietnam does the same shit.

[knifefightscene]

I live in vietnam and the number is actually that low lmao vietnam has closed down schools and universities and started online learning since feb. they have praticed social distancing and lock down for 20 days now. The government literally spent billions to put tourists in quarantine for free to health check them everyday for fourteen days to make sure community spread doesn’t happen. They’re willing to risk the economy as long as the people are safe. Like you do know vietnamese people have access to the internet right???

[freemonker]

Population differences you people, America has significantly more people total

[leviathan-supersystem]

wow you’re such a genius, if only there were statistics for the number of cases per million people so we could scale it to population size, such as here:

can any mathematicians tell us whether 3 or 3,379 is the larger number? can any number wizards help us out on that one

[heir-of-the-founders]

The lengths that people go to to try and force the idea that the us is great are just astounding really

[piss-bong]

2020 for me has just been "am I stressed because of a global pandemic and an increasingly fascist far-right government, or am I just struggling to exist under capitalism" and I'm really getting tired of it

[piss-bong]

2020 mood

[lizalot]

broke: The Great British Bake Off has no conflict

woke: while The Great British Bake Off is refreshingly devoid of the usual man vs. man conflict, it is filled with conflict of other varieties, notably man vs. self (the contestants vs. their knowledge of baking) and man vs. nature (the contestants vs. the time limit)

[no-i-am-not-the-lochness-monster]

Man vs. the forces of evil (the contestants vs. Paul Hollywood)

[basic-banshee]

I keep using my girlfriend with unusual work hours to get out of coworker interactions and happy hours and hanging out.

But now the company holiday party is upon us.

And I’ve been lying about the girlfriend.

I suddenly really empathise with the characters in Hallmark Christmas movies.

[basic-banshee]

I like that people have two reactions to this post.

Reasonable: “just say she couldn’t make it!”

Chaotic: FAKE DATING AU

Well, which one is it going to be?

[basic-banshee]

And so it begins

having the DMV area Craigslist bookmarked has never come in handy before but now

[basic-banshee]

Update, Craigslist has flagged my post as inappropriate.

[basic-banshee]

Apparently you can’t solicit a date as a “gig”

I now see my mistake

[basic-banshee]

Update: a date has been acquired. This is true lesbian solidarity in action.

[justluckyiguess]

My wife has now read this and wonders how baby gays are even meeting and mating

[basic-banshee]

Can confirm I am meeting and mating just fine 😂

[basic-banshee]

By the way I’m in a relationship with this woman now

[cooliopumpkin]

[basic-banshee]

This is the feedback I’ve been looking for

[charlesoberonn]

[sandersstudies]

Love that in a lot of classic literature people just “randomly” fall ill but bro their homes were stacked to the roof with arsenic and asbestos and lead and radium of course they were sick all the time.

[sandersstudies]

And then they’re like “we took my ill wife to the seaside and her condition improved remarkably” and it’s like Edward your house has seven time bombs in it please just leave your wife at the seaside and she’ll do very well not getting mesothelioma.

[under-the-arch]

Edward your wife may be entitled to financial compensation

i hope this doesn’t sound really weird but i feel really bad for the lady who came up with gender reveal parties. she had a very legitimate reason for throwing herself one–she’d had a few miscarriages, all of them miscarrying before she was able to find out the sex of her baby and due to really wanting to have children she was distraught, so when her pregnancy made it to the milestone of being able to find out her baby’s sex, she was understandably incredibly excited and threw a party to celebrate it. honestly she had every right to do so and was more celebrating the fact that she’d carried her baby to that point rather than celebrating if it was a girl or a boy

and now she’s the inventor of this horrible thing that makes stupid people cause wildfires. all this lady wanted to do was have some cake and celebrate her pregnancy after a few miscarriages. i feel fucking terrible for her. 

[deafmic]

she’s slamming elaborate gender reveal parties with over the top shit like pyrotechnics on facebook which is good bc she obviously doesn’t support the crazy shit these parties have become but i kinda hate that she has to because this very calm party she threw for herself years ago to celebrate passing the points she’d miscarried before has obviously become tainted and a bad memory for her and now she’s labelled as the lady who “started” these parties even though hers was literally like. a cake that you cut into and the color tells you what the baby is. 

[littleleafsandlizards]

I saw an article saying that she has learned more about gender and her kid came out as nonbinary and she feels bad about how the whole thing hurts the trans communities and her official stance is “There are plenty of other reasons to eat cake” and that we should pick a different one Tbh she seems like a really nice person who is just sort of in the crosshairs of a really big thing she didn’t expect

[sevdolo]

[askiathedickhead]

Yup

[werecat]

do you ever think about how “competition leads to innovation” is a goddamn lie and how much more we could have accomplished by now if we approched science and technology and all such related fields with the goal of cooperation instead

[werecat]

do you ever think about how the first person to walk on the moon did so as an American and not as a human being
