mary✨ @mrs-tired-kittycat - Tumblr Blog

meet the mean pie-baker.

Depending on where we met, you might know me by a different name. I’m a sickeningly devoted faggot and I post a mixture of cute/cheerful things and political/discourse-y stuff. Sometimes I theoretically post fandom and workout shit too but I haven't made that happen yet.

Fair warning that once in a blue moon I’ll rb an nsfw textpost. I'm going to be combing through the blog to backtag stuff, but feel free to request trigger tags (and let me know if I reblogged a racist, transphobe, etc. so I can block & delete). new tag guide: #mary's soapbox - I say things #mary enjoys media - I talk about music/fandom/etc. #mary does kink - I courtesy tag kink/nsfw stuff for easy blocking #mary is catholic - I'm Catholic and I do religious stuff sometimes #mary's discourse wednesday - I'm starting a thing where I discuss a thing that pisses me off in a longpost every Wednesday. for mental health. #mary gets serious - I blanket tag current events and activism posts for easy blocking (and because taking breaks from the constant distress of the internet is good and healthy)

UNIRONICALLY GIVE ME INDIAN CINDERELLA

rmftjin

Um yes please?

We read Chinese Cinderella at school. I know it’s not Indian but it’s still another culture

Actually, the Cinderella story is very old and has hundreds, even thousands of variations across various cultures and time periods.

The story of Rhodopis is considered to be one of the earliest variants of Cinderella and comes from Ancient Greece. The tale of Ye Xian, aka the Chinese Cinderella, dates from around 860 AD.

There is a Japanese Cinderella story that dates from the 13th century. There’s a Vietnamese variant, an Iranian variant, and a whole bunch that pop up in One Thousand and One Nights. Like seriously, it’s all over the place. I wouldn’t be surprised if there actually was an Indian variant of Cinderella but I just haven’t heard of it.

we have to start running a massive PSA campaign to young gay people so everyone understands there is a difference between being a dom and being a top and between being a sub and being a bottom. and also that sometimes you are neither a sub nor a bottom and you're just like shy. we need to be handing out flyers we need ads at every train station spreading the word

TIL that there is journalism equivalent to the Bechdel Test. An article about a female scientist fails the “Finkbeiner Test” if it mentions one of seven topics regarding her womanhood

The fact that she’s a woman

Her husband’s job

Her child-care arrangements

How she nurtures her underlings

How she was taken aback by the competitiveness in her field

How she’s such a role model for other women

How she’s the “first woman to…”

hedwig-dordt

Okay, one quote, and then you absolutely have to read the whole thing.

Still, the virtue of some rules in Aschwanden’s test is difficult to see at first. Take the rule of “no firsts.” In the comments section below her post for Last Word on Nothing, Finkbeiner explained that no sooner had she taken the vow to ignore gender, than she caught herself writing that the astronomer she was profiling was the first to win a certain award. After a reader urged her to stick to her pledge, she removed it.

“The fact that she’s the first woman to do that says a lot more about the prize-giving committee than it does about her,” Finkbeiner explained in our interview. “So if I were going to put that into a story, it would be a story about prejudice in that prize committee.”

It blew my mind, because she’s right. The fact that there’s some many firsts left is the result of bias in the committees NOT IN THE WORK WOMEN DO

I decided to start a Minecraft forever world and somehow lucked out and got cherry blossoms, savannah, and grasslands all next to each other with an icy mountain off in the distance and a village nearby. I never get spawns this good.

If you like a Long Island Iced Tea, wait until you try the provocatively named Adios, Motherfucker. It’s fun, boozy and blue.

Found a recipe for it that's worded like electrochemistry wrote it

bite-my-grimy-fleshy-ass

Update: this tastes like if a baha blast could kill you and annihilates any ongoing anxiety attacks

bite-my-grimy-fleshy-ass

Update update: comparing this to a long island is like comparing a pickup truck to a tank

I love getting unaccompanied minors (kids flying alone) who so clearly just. Don't want to be here lol. Sometimes I get to know a little of their story, like their parents are divorced, or a family member died and they're heading to the funeral, but usually they just don't want to talk about it and that's fine. But I always treat the flight like it's a challenge to make them smile. I offer them snacks and soda but that's never enough, that's whatever, they could get those from an airport vending machine. Chump change. So then I tell the worst jokes. Just the most embarrassing, kindergarten teacher, annoying dad jokes you can think of. And those always get a groan, or a "Seriously??" And that's my in! Now I can say "Why, what's your idea of a good joke? No, come on hotshot, make your best joke, let's see it." And they hem and they haw but of course they eventually tell me their very best joke because kids are little competitive comedy goldmines. And it's always super funny, so I laugh, and that's where they slip up. Because you know what you almost always do when your joke successfully makes someone laugh? You smile. And I'm like. Gotcha. Rookie move. Now you're going to end up having a good time in spite of yourself. I win.

Did this with an 11yo u.m. today and he said "What did the ghost say to the other ghost?" And I said "What?" "Nothing. Ghosts aren't real."

I'm literally a flight attendant, offering snacks and drinks is my job

Polycules should be able to trade people like sports teams do

gondorrevealparty

Listen -- you're a good defender and your pussy is fantastic, but that's not what our team needs right now. We're trading you to Greater Boston in exchange for someone who has a car.
