Give me less "being kind requires zero effort" and more "being kind is worth the effort it takes."

proud victim of the tumblr accent. it's fading out of public consciousness as the tik tok accent takes precedence; a linguistic evolution that makes the tumblr accent 85% funnier to unsuspecting civilians. it's like releasing a disease on a non-inoculated population. coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.

"I'm just a girl☺️🥰💖💞💅🌺🌷🦄" when you were eight and the teacher said she needed some strong boys to carry something you used to be furious, and when you convinced them to let you help, you carried twice as many chairs as the boys with the righteous anger of a girl who knew she was just as capable as them. Where did that go?

an interesting linguistics find! so I'm reading this text from 1908 and it keeps referencing "hp" in the context of "not being at full hp" "applying your full hp to a task" etc

and I'm like....... okay that is a perfectly normal way to describe energy and reads totally clear to me, but I KNOW you don't mean hit points/health points which is the first place my brain goes, so what are YOU using hp to mean

and it's not explained in-text, which means it was common enough to not warrant explanation to the 1908 audience, so gotta look elsewhere

horsepower. turns out it's horsepower.

and I'm absolutely FASCINATED that a commonly used initialism from 1908 now stands for something different AND YET the contextual meaning is still the same to a 21st-century reader

I could hand this guy my nintendo switch and he'd be like, ah yes I understand, this ''''pokemon'''' loses horsepower throughout the fight

language is amazing

How am I supposed to focus on school when there’s literally doctor who available on the internet

[tardis-technician]

I could turn on my computer right now and see doctor who. But instead the only docs I’m looking at are Google. What am I even doing here.

Thing is the time lords consider themselves to be basically God and absolutely do act like the arbiters of what specieses get to exist. They will just erase you from existence if they think the timeline will be better without you. & Then the daleks reverse engineered a tardis after making contact w the Doctor and when the time lords tried to wipe them out they were like ohh you wanna play it like that huh and started fucking shit up. Many legitimate criticisms to be made of the Daleks but you have to admire their chutzpah.

In recent years of Dr who the doctor generally doesn't use physical violence due to his moral scruples but in 60s who the doctor generally didn't use physical violence bcos he was delegating it to whichever handsome 21 year old boy he was toting around

The first doctor: I don't kill people ):<

The first doctor like 2 episodes later: now Steven the invisible people who live on this planet are very tall so you want to aim about 8 feet off the ground. Ok start blasting my boy.

I miss the Doctor being the universe's most gleeful anarchist. I miss when the villains were representations of Domination and Rigid Conformity and Rules. I miss the Doctor deriving their moral authority from the basic fact that their vision of Life and Existing in the Universe was just Demonstrably More Fun. I miss whimsy as a mission statement and ethical imperative rather than just a superficial aesthetic. I miss being Kind instead of just being Nice. I miss I've never met anyone who wasn't important before. I miss defeating gods by playing spoons at them and not just shooting them with a big gun. I miss the Renegade. I miss the Sound of Empires Toppling. I miss Never Tell Me The Rules. I've been missing this stuff in the show since 2017 at least.

The idea that only women can give birth is a misconception. Men can give birth too and that's a mrconception

[liberalsarecool]

Yes, this is EXACTLY what you voted for.

You voted for a clown sleep farting through his court case. A convicted felon and lifelong rapist. The swamp incarnate. A narcissist and fraud willing to do anything to enrich himself.

Voting for Harris/Walz was clearly better considering your kids' student debt and husband's job situation.

You picked the unserious choice. You lost.

Episode one Belinda: breaks up with her boyfriend because he’s a controlling misogynistic prick who wants her to conform to the role of wife and mother, when he later kidnaps her to force her to marry him she calls him an incel and explodes him

Episode eight Belinda: I can’t help you with the battle I’m no use at saving the world, the best thing I can do is stand in this box with my daughter and be a mother, I love being a mother, please rewrite my entire timeline so that I have a daughter, I’m so glad this right wing incel fascist rewrote reality so that women are wives and mothers because that means I am a mother to my daughter
