So I follow N. D. Stevenson (comics writer and animator, most famous for Nimona and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) and his husband Lee Ostertag (also a comics writer and animator) on Instagram. When I started following them, they were both publicly presenting as women, and then a few years ago N. D. came out as transmasc nonbinary, and then earlier this year Lee also came out as transmasc. Anyway this is all setup to say that Lee had the chance to make the funniest post of all time and he took it:

Absolutely iconic.

[fearoftheminotaur]

I want to throw in that part of the context behind this meme was N.D. talking about how he sometimes gets hatemail for marrying a man as a former lesbian, and how many people seem to think he divorced his wife.

I have not managed to find anyone who thinks that in the wild, but it is so damn funny.

[ID: a Bluesky thread between ND Stevenson and Lee Ostertag. Stevenson's original post reads, "Latest strain of out-of-touch Instagram comment has been ugh of COURSE you'd end up with a man and like, TAKE IT UP WITH HIM HE'S THE ONE WHO DECIDED TO TURN INTO ONE". Ostertag's reply reads, "Omg are they saying I pass 💅 ". Stevenson's response reads, "LEE HELP YOURE DOING TOO GOOD A JOB THEY THINK I DUMPED MY WIFE FOR YOU". /end ID]

Peanuts - March 12, 1959

today i bought a chocolate bar just because i really liked the graphic design

but the bar itself is also really cool looking? i found a diagram that says exactly how big each piece is

the wikipedia article reads like an ad but i gotta say, this part in particular is pretty fun

[unpretty]

#why is the bar designed like that #it doesnt make it easier to eat #it doesnt make it easy to track portion size??? #this makes no sense #the slavery free thing is just a cherry on top of this weird cake 

it is, apparently, intended as a metaphor for the inequality of distribution of profit in the chocolate industry

[theygender]

Tony’s Chocolonely’s entire thing is that they’re fighting for a slavery free chocolate industry, you guys should check them out!

[witch-4-life]

So fun story how this happend: this guy called Teun worked for a Dutch television show that inspects foods (de keuringsdienst van waarde). When they did an episode about chocolate he discovered that all the chocolate producers use slavery in the making of their bars. He asked them to change their ways but they werent interested.

A few days later he goed to the police

He reports him self for helping the slave industry and asked to be put in jail (there was even a whole trial and stuff) but in the end he wasn’t sentenced.

But now he couldn’t do anything anymore…. Except take matters into his own hands and so he started Tony’s Chocolonely. A chocolate company that tries to banish slavery out of the chocolate industry.

At the moment they are the market leader in the Netherlands with 66% market share. And because of them more companies are now looking into making their bars slave free

Some pieces of the bar are also modeled after the countries where the (99,9% slave free ) cacao comes from.

At the moment it’s to only big chocolate producer that can claim there almost 100% slave free. They track everything that goes in to the bar.

And the bars are really tasty too!! They have alot of different flavors like Raspberry cracker sugar, salted caramel and poppy seed citrus. And at their head office in Amsterdam you can design your own bar.

I did a whole paper on then last year if y'all interested.

the fact that at the council of elrond glorfindel is like “just throw the ring into the ocean” is so funny to me after reading the silmarillion just because it feels like the subtext is him being like “yeah let’s try maglor’s patented and tested method: Just Yeet The Accursed Fucking Thing Into The Water”

#in fairness they do do literally the other fëanorion approved method of magical item disposal #glorfindel: we could do like maglor and throw it in the ocean? #elrond: no we’re doing like maedhros and jumping into a volcano via @lesbianlanval

*at the council of Elrond*

Elrond: Alright, everyone listen up. We elves have 4 methods of dealing with Accursed Fucking Objects™, as demonstrated by my four parents. 

Number 1, the Elwing Method or Mom Method. This is to hide the accursed fucking thing away and keep it safe and close. This is highly not reccommended if the object can take over its user like the ring can, and Sauron will be searching for it, so this method is out of the question. 

Number 2, the Earendil Method or the Dad #1 Method. This is, send the accursed fucking thing across the sea or to some higher power. According to Mithrandir, the Valar will not take it and Tom Bombadil wants nothing to do with it, so this is also out of the question. 

Number 3 is the Maglor Method, or Dad #2 Method. This is to yeet the accursed fucking thing into the ocean. In this case, it is not a good idea as Ulmo will be very upset and we will still have to contend with Sauron. 

The last method is the Maedhros Method or the Dad #3 Method. This method is to yeet yourself into a volcano while holding the accursed fucking thing, and also the method we will be using. You will not have to yeet yourself into the volcano, only the ring, don’t worry, Frodo.

[art-of-a-diffrent-color]

Those…those really are the four methods aren’t they?

@procrastinationonvacation how dare you hide this in the tags

Listen, Boromir knows 1 (one) ancient elven story and damn it, he’s going to ride that horse until it dies.

humans will see a swamp and build a city on it and then spend the next 2,000+ years struggling to keep it from turning back into a swamp

[byjove]

everybody saying a different city is cracking me up

[duckbunny]

you are fifteen thousand generations removed from stone tools

[duckbunny]

to be clear you are fifteen thousand generations removed from the invention of stone tools. not from the end of stone tools. modern humans are still using stone tools.

[pseudomasochist]

Flawless tags, @baddywronglegs

I thought you meant we were descendents -of- stone tools

My elderly father started talking about how frustrating he finds “the pronouns thing” and I was like. Oh no. He had such a good stand on this, he’s been they/them-ing his cishet siblings for god’s sake! Is he regressing?? And he was talking about how difficult it is to remember, and how onerous it feels to expect strangers to keep track of it, and I’m like oh no oh no.

Then he says, “I mean, the problem isn’t the gender thing. The problem is four words: she, her, he, and him. We got rid of stewardess and turned it into flight attendant. It doesn’t matter if the flight attendant is a man or woman, so we got rid of it. We just need to get rid of those. I don’t need to know.”

“You don’t need to know… people’s gender?”

“No. I don’t care, I don’t need to know, and I don’t want to remember it.”

So we can relax. It’s just a continuation of his crusade to they/them the world. He doesn’t want to remember anyone’s gender. He’s abolishing the genders.
