teen mycroft!

[podcastbrainrotdad]

Modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations I beg you please let Mycroft Holmes be weird and gay.

Stop making him the "normal" brother he's so strange, you guys.

[byjove]

I saw a 1837 obituary say that a woman left behind “two interesting children” am wondering if that was an insult to her kids or they were genuinely cool

[pixoearte]

The kids were Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes

   A drawing that I no longer exhibit in art shows, because too many people asked me if it was real, and more than one confidently called it a chipmunk. So. This is a flying squirrel that I drew with moth wings because I thought it was funny. Also, moth wings look good on absolutely everyone. Think of is as a squirrel fairy. A fairydiddle. A flying HAR HAR *wink* squirrel. It was funny in my head.

cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you're still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don't understand when you're trying to help them

cats when you step on their tail: i'll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke.

cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinister plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,

I worked at a community museum run out of a historic freight house, next to the train tracks and historic station and engines and other cars. We hosted model train enthusiasts to set up a display every month. Pretty sure the only NT visitors were the confused people trying to buy train tickets.

Some lady brought her teen semi verbal son in all the time. He'd flap and vocalize and jump up and down. He'd run to the door and watch from the railing rocking back and forth so incredibly excited when we told him the train was on its way (you could hear the whistle as it passed the crossing before ours). He was in fucking love.

Some lady from out of town had the nerve to try and ask me to kick the kid and mom out bc he was disrupting her visit. The look on the mom's face like "oh no, not from here, not from here too" made me so fucking mad. I agreed that someone was disrupting other visitors, and asked the karen to leave. She threw a fit. I was like "You're harassing a regular visitor on the basis of disability. Please leave the premises."

Karen left. I started writing an email explaining to my boss ahead of the inevitable complaint. The mom came up and was like "thank you for making this a place my kid can be happy and himself" and I'm like "ma'am this is a train musuem. If we didn't have autistic visitors we wouldn't have visitors."

My fellow bitches under 5'5. Whatever the money, do not take a job working at a middle school. A fellow adult tried to put me in detention last month and would NOT give up until I showed her my badge proving Yes, The School Hired Me To Work Here. It's not meant for people our height.

At a whopping 17 minutes into the school day, a substitute teacher asked to see my tardy pass, breaking my old record by about 5 hours.

[thechaoticpolarbear]

someone was going off about how if student loans get forgiven then the next generation will get to go to college for free while I had to pay for it and I’m like ??? Okay??? that literally doesn’t bother me at all!!! let them go for free!! student debt sucks!

[sailoreuterpe]

THE ENTIRE POINT OF HAVING CHILDREN AND HAVING DESCENDENTS IS TO MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR THEM. EVOLUTION THRIVES ON SOLVING PROBLEMS. IF YOU'RE MAD THAT YOU HAD IT WORSE, YOU'RE A SELFISH ROTTING WALNUT.

People forget that until Reagan, state schools did not charge tuition. My parents were IL residents. They went to the University of Illinois & paid only their room and board, books, and student activity fee.

The reason that schools started charging tuition was expressly because conservatives figured out that too many of "the wrong kind of people" were getting educations. They feared that an "overeducated" populace would remove them from power, and so Reagan pushed for CA to end free tuition at state schools when he was governor. Other states followed, and here we are.

https://newuniversity.org/2023/02/13/ronald-reagans-legacy-the-rise-of-student-loan-debt-in-america/

In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, Reagan’s education advisor, Roger A. Freeman stated, “We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. That’s dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow [to go through higher education].” This belief has shaped higher education to become a privilege of the upper class, with tuition serving as a barrier to those from working-class backgrounds.

This isn't an accident. This is very much a purposeful effort to keep the proles uneducated, in so many words.

My parents got free college. My kids should, too.

There are two kinds of people in this world.

"If I had to suffer so should YOU!!"

and

"No one should suffer like I had to."

People will tell you which they are choosing to be today.

[moddeydhoo]

The Some More News episode on Reagan has the receipts, by the way, about student loans and so much more.

It's accessible and funny, doesn't assume prior knowledge of the history and politics of the time, and reaches valid conclusions about Reagan's legacy. 📍📌📍📌📍📌

constantly making airy offhand comments to my preferred younger son about how he’s next in line for the throne after his brother but he still hasn’t killed my detested firstborn for me. kids these days have no fucking initiative.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

I keep sending them off on “boar hunts” together and wouldn’t you know? they keep coming back after with big smiles and boar heads and the unmistakable stench of brotherly camaraderie. what sick sad days are these!

Sometimes I find a fun piece of media involving Norse Mythology, but then I see it combine Frigg into Freyja and it drives me crazy. I can't watch/read/play/etc. it on the principle that they're two very different goddesses to me, and media likes to just pick the 'sexier' one. Why, oh why do so many people mess up the Norse gods in popular media?

[jonquilclegane]

THIS. THANK YOU!!!

They do have common points, like being married to Odin and associated with magic, but THAT IS IT.

Frigg is Fjorgynn's daughter. She's Goddess of marriage and Queen of Asgard. She's also Baldr's mother. Her hall is Fensalir.

Freyja is NJORD's daughter, Goddess of Love, Beauty and War. She's from Vanaheim. She's associated with the Valkyries. Her daughters are (most likely, though some scholars are actually doubting their existence in the original myths) Hnoss and Gersemi. Her hall is Sessrúmnir.

THEY ARE NOT THE SAME WOMEN.

I feel like they're doing that so Odin will fit better their Christian vision of Odin as a wise king with of course ONE wife... ^^'

I've seen people here trying to do that with Angrboda & Sigyn. LOL. PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT.
