sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "mmmhmmm okay yeah i see we both interpreted that differently based on what the show gave us, but i see how you arrived at your ideas even if they're different from mine," and then sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "brother what show did you even fucking watch"
I think more non binary characters should be fat
fat and black and brown 👍🏾
kinda tired of non binary being tied to skinny androgyny that's mostly white. I say that's as a non binary transmasc/boy thing who's fat and black.
being non binary can look like anything and anyone but especially individuals who have different body types outside of thin. they can have body/facial hair too. show up for all enbies.
"next time, log in faster with fingerprint/face/iris recognition!" how about i keep typing my password like i have for the past 25 years and you fuck off
we’re so lucky that gilgamesh survived and is a banger. can you imagine if we found the oldest written human story ever recorded and it sucked balls.
the United States government, which absolutely does not have a history of shooting, bombing, drugging and poisoning its citizens and definitely reflects the will of the people-
adulthood notes:
The Rodeo Rule: you only have to do it for the first time once.
The Rohan Rule: if you are at a social function full of new people and you want to be liked, find someone doing important work like setup or food prep and offer to help.
The Tutorial Mode Rule: to navigate an unfamiliar situation where you fear you will mess up an interaction, preface the interaction by mentioning that you've never done this before, and let them know if you have a specific concern or question.
The Rocket Science Rule: most new things you want to try seem very complicated but are simple when taken step by step.
The [X] Will Remember That Rule: if you need to make small talk with the same person on a regular basis, try to save one fact or current event in their life from a given conversation and bring it up next time you talk.
The Cool Binder Rule: by wearing clothes and accessories that are to your taste instead of trying to blend in, people will be more likely to compliment you and show interest in you as a person.
Women's Place in the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (Part One)
Politically, the gantowisas [Clan Mothers] of the league, and Iroquoian gantowisas generally, had the right to confer or retract citizenship through adoption; call or end wars; appoint warriors and war chiefs; nominate all men to office; nominate all women to office; consider all matters in their own councils first; set the agenda of the league and the Wyandot Confederacy by deciding whether to send matters forward to the men’s councils; name children and officers (including direction of funerals); and impeach errant officials, male or female. Women also were the judges, mediators, and keepers of the peace. Economically, women owned all the land and the crops, as well as all the fruits of the men’s hunts and the town’s fishing. They owned the longhouses, all the household goods, the lineage names and titles to office, and all farming implements. In addition, the women oversaw all food and goods distribution, ensuring that the goods and services of life were equitably distributed to all. This included calling and managing the seasonal festivals. Religiously, the majority of Iroquoian Faithkeepers were once women, and about half today remain women. Dream work was and remains the special province of women. At one time, the majority of the medical work using herbs, roots, and healing concoctions was in the hands of the women. Women also “cleaned the bones of the dead” during the Feast of the Dead, a religious extension of their naming and funerary rights. Socially, the gantowisas had the right to arrange marriages and recognize divorces; control fertility; and name and rear all children until puberty (at which point the men took over with the boys). Despite some attempts by anthropologists to trace patrilineal descent patterns—what they are actually tracing is assimilation patterns—Iroquoian descent was and is counted solely through the mother. Among the Senecas, the gantowisas might take more than one husband.

yknow its one thing to know abstractly that there were non-patriarchal societies but its really crazy. to really read about how it functioned
so many people so genuinely believe this kind of sociopolitical structure could never be viable and productive. people believe that the idea of a stateless non-patriarchal egalitarian society is impossible, at least on any large scale. and its just straight up not true and that lie is actively killing people on a mass scale.
and the thing is this isn't even utopian. its not that indigenous people living in such societies never dealt with social problems, conflict, violence, bigotry, etc. because its not like these societies were static for thousands of years, or that the indigenous people just "didn't know better" than to be nice to everyone. conscious complex sociopolitical choices were made, and they worked.. its not that these societies were perfect, its that they were more morally and socially and physically better for the people and their environment. and they are possible, through so many different frameworks.

getting into doctor who as a kid: yeah so you really don't need any previous knowledge to enjoy the show, most episodes - sure, except some series finales! - work fine as stand-alones. don't let the longevity of doctor who intimidate you, but if you want a good starting point, series 1, series 5 or series 10 could be good picks :D
getting into doctor who as a twentysomething: I can't have a substantial discussion about the time war without citing kurt vonnegut's slaughterhouse five so keep that in mind, but then again my own perspective is limited by the fact I refuse to start gallifrey without at least a respectful working knowledge of the political worldbuilding contributed by the VNAs. still working through the EDAs as of now (please don't let me start talking about them and t s eliot's The Wasteland, I won't stop,) but ideally i'd also like to read Machiavelli's The Prince beforehand, too. craziest reveal in doctor who? ... oh, that river is amy and rory's daughter? me personally I think about the barn scene in Listen every day..... however I still wonder if we will ever find out whether space babies intentionally made a faction paradox reference. now THAT would be wild

I haven’t pissed people off lately by reminding them that ALL types of physical punishment of kids has been proven beyond ANY reasonable doubt to have only negative long term outcomes.
So let me scream it from the hilltops:
Stop hitting kids. End of sentence.
If you think, “but I was hit and I turned out just fine” let me pre-reply: NO YOU DID NOT. You think hitting a child is ok, how the fuck does that qualify as “fine”?????? From one abuse survivor to another: please start healing yourself.

YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME TUMBLR
So annoying. So GD annoying.
Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
Hell yeah moon holiday
Ooh coming up we should celebrate
PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)
MOON DAY MOON DAY MOON DAY
moon day is 20th July!!!
Scheduling this a day earlier to remind you all and myself about the Moon Day tomorow!
Happy moon day to all who celebrate
This is your reminder to prep for Moon Day on July 20th.
One time I came home from uni very upset and my younger siblings asked what's wrong. I said that mutated flies in our lab escaped because someone broke their jar. I didn't even realise how scary it sounded to them until I saw their faces lmao. I was upset because we were short on said flies (they don't reproduce very well) and my siblings thought that some crazy radioactive fly monsters escaped and we are all fucked now. Love being a mad scientist in their eyes lowkey
