I will never forgive Netflix for mothballing the Redwall adaptation by the guy who did Over the Garden Wall. The children yearn for the mice.

LOOK AT WHAT WE COULD HAVE HAD

I’m tired of tickets on my phone or receipt paper, give me real tickets so I can scrapbook the stubs

Movement nudge, hand mobility! 🙌

1) do this even if you're under 40. seriously. I definitely should have been doing something like this for years and I only turned 40 a month and a half ago

2) if you're like me just now trying this going "oh god i've only done 15 and i think my hands are cramping" start lower than 30 and increase by 5 once whatever number you're doing no longer makes your hand cramp up. I can manage about 15 per exercise at the moment.

If you're hypermobile, be especially gentle.

Yeah I have Hypermobility and tried these and immediately fucking hurt my hand real bad.

lmao

let’s talk about how they made it impossible to function without a phone and digitalised everything and then turned around and went “actually! these phone things aren’t safe for kids but it’s magically ok once you’re eighteen. guess you’ll have to have your life dictated by your parents now lol cause we’re gonna take the devices away from you. IT’S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING”

do-not-u-dare

ok my apologies. take away my ability to buy anything too ig because these fuckass stores don’t accept cash anymore. take away my ability to communicate with people outside my house and school because I can’t text and I can’t email and I cant drive to them either and I can’t even fucking get public transport without a phone either. can’t order at a fucking restaurant without being asked to get a membership and install an app and also very sorry but you can only order through our online menu now! have you ever considered that it’s not just about instagram?

I was having this conversation with a friend at an HIV conference we went to- All week we heard speeches about how the most powerful tools for both outreach and education, and for managing your health if you're diagnosed with HIV, are online tools, often tools on social media, and how the population of youth with HIV are one of the most marginalised patient populations.

How the fuck are they meant to either get tested, get on PrEP, access PEP, get on ARVs, access counselling or peer support etc, when the government is cutting them off from the places where we put information out?

Watching biosphere for the first time bc I saw an edit \(*uu*)/ how has tumblr never told me about the old man yaoi mpreg movie

inact-ice

“I don’t think- I think it might be dangerous for me to walk around with like my eyes closed and a and a and a and a and a boner out, you know what I mean” as he’s visibly frightened pumping weights this movie is HILARIOUS and so quotable

THAT WAS SO GOOD WHAT THE HELL

1.) Sterling K Brown is obviously such a great dramatic actor, but he’s also really great at comedy, I laughed out loud multiple times just because of his facial expressions

2.) The writing was so good, it felt like they were just having a conversation the whole time

3.) definitely kind of a weird movie but an instant fave

4.) I’m glad they had a fish consultant!

5.) I was skeptical about the one guy being a republican but it actually worked really well with the overall themes of the movie, like he HAD to be a republican for the mpreg to really hit

6.) THIS IS A ROMCOM and I didn’t realize until the end credits, these men are in LOVE

7.) This really would be a tumblr classic if they were both white guys bc the dynamics at play were soooo fanficy and indulgent while having very classical literature vibes.

7.b) I fear I’m gonna have to write the Biosphere AUs where each fic hits the tropiest moments in the movie. Prepare to see SamBucky pushing their beds apart and then pushing them back togetherrrr

8.) the mpreg was lowkey the least weird thing about those two, they’re a couple of freaks

9.) the blanket pull changed my life

10.) Sterling K. Brown was so hot the entire time

11.) I really like that they were both kinda shitty people, like they both kinda sucked as human beings but they got to re-invent humanity and what it means to be good. I think this movie was more about relationships than morality, but I really enjoyed the fact that the movie existed in this kinda state of post-morality because they’d already done horrible shit. I’ll be thinking about this movie for a while

12.) Sterling K. Brown was SO HOT the entire time, just built for no reason, big ol puppy dog eyes, beautiful man

13.) This is part of the Queer Cinema Canon (tm) to me now

13.b) they were like if 2 people were in a qpr and also enjoyed having sex with each other idk, not gay but very Queer and also kinda gay!

13.c) I loved the way they talked about gender and masculinity and Ray was just so gender the entire time

14.) I loved the isolated feel of only having 2 actors on screen the whole time, this would make a great stage play

15.) everyone get more Biosphere (2022) right now

#biosphere 2022 #ALL of this #these are all very good and accurate reasons to watch this movie #it makes my brain go brrr #not just a republican but a republican president #whooo caused the end of the world #the movie hits different

i also think. something so compelling about biosphere is the looming specter of regret. what if we did things differently. what if we could go back and change things. but we can't all we can do is not let the past stop us in the here and now. maybe if you and your bestie had had gay sex earlier he wouldn't have caused an apocalypse. but we can't change that. have gay sex now. better late than never

There's really this strong temptation that everyone has which basically says "to have interiority is to be like me; ordinary people are surface everywhere." And this manifests in different ways in different spaces, and becomes really pronounced when you cluster together with similar people. So tumblr users often act like straight people don't have any interiority because it helps you feel the deepening of social bonds with other gay people. This happens professionally too. I think it was Summer or Sharks who was saying that programming people think that intelligence is just being really good at writing code. Not surprising but very strange to me! I am (equally ridiculously) used to thinking that intelligence is being really good at philosophy, having command of a lot of sources that you can use creatively, etc. This reflects a kind of dynamic on tumblr and reddit. On reddit to have interiority is to be a science guy and on tumblr to have interiority is to be a humanities girl (and the dynamic is gendered in exactly this way). And I think there is something dangerous about habitually regarding other people as automatons. It's good to have people outside of your niche to remind you that other people from different walks of life are quite deep and complicated. They are full of love and fine grained attention to things you never thought to care about. And I think a lot of people go through life thinking of themselves as perpetually victimized by basically empty people rather than having genuine confrontations with full, genuine people who are committed to subtle, complex and real values, who have detailed and intricate histories, and who have a bond to you that you might never quite fully understand. But we rarely even try at understanding these things. We just decide that they're stupid and ridiculous and unreasonable.

Let's take like a conceit from a hollywood movie kind of scenario: if there's an emergency and someone shoves a baby into your arms then you are responsible for it, at least until you can safely hand it off to someone else; there is an obligation there imposed on you simply by the situation you are in and your status as a human being, without there being any kind of "guilt" or debt you have to pay off. This is the sense in which there are moral obligations imposed on you by the general state of the world. It's not that you have done something wrong, it doesn't mean that you have to take on guilt for some shit your ancestors or fellow countrymen did. It is because you are a human being in a society which has the material capacity to enable everyone to live a good life, but then systematically prevents this for vast swathes of humanity, that you have an obligation to try to change the situation, proportionate to your capacity to act.
