if you are someone who disliked The Odyssey (a film I haven't seen and am uninterested in defending until/unless I see and like it) and suggest EPIC: The Musical instead, I'm afraid it is - uhhhh, it is, listen, it's – listen, I'm glad people like it. I'm very glad people like it. that's very nice, that people like it.

finally gotten a new diagnosis i didn't know i needed after having symptoms for roughly ten years!!!!!!!!!! it may look like i am being sarcastically joyous but no i am genuinely very happy to have this information

It’s so SO insane to me that people have a problem with Lupita perfect timeless face Nyong’o in the Odyssey and not Matt Damon who looks like he has never known a world without Dunkin’ Donuts

what really sucks is when a ship actually has the sauce in its own right but everybody around you is shipping it because they like the ooc fanon version. like okay i promise i’m shipping this in a sensible text informed manner. unfortunately all the fics are written by idiots though

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

i do think a lot of implausible medieval plot devices make more sense when considering the fact that these people simply did not have glasses

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

like the king arthur problem of how were these people always accidentally sleeping with the wrong person? well 1) no glasses 2) no lights and candles are so expensive 3) royal couples didn’t even sleep in the same bed a lot of the time anyway 4) arranged marriage how much do you really know your spouse anyway? maybe not very well a lot of the time 5) people are drinking a lot idk. maybe not as absurd as one might think

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

this post is brought to you by the one time i woke up at a sleepover and realized that without my glasses i could not distinguish one friend from the other. haunting. all of arthurian literature was unlocked to me at that moment

Punk is about supporting your local libraries and throwing hamsters into a river

You gotta get the hamsters to skip along the river like stone if you just chuck them and they sink immediately that's emo, not punk

To those in Aotearoa New Zealand listen up

The Definitions of Woman and Man Amendment Bill has passed its first reading but hope is not lost

It is now time to make a submission to the select committee. In recent times, submissions have had a big impact on whether bills pass the second reading or not. In 2022 100,000 submissions led to the banning of conversion therapy (passing 113-7 btw!) and in 2025 300,000 submissions killed the divisive treaty principles bill. Make a submission by 02 July 2026 and make sure you clearly state you oppose the bill.

Loader page.

What kind of harm will this bill cause and why it's important you make a submission:

This bill will legally define a woman as an “adult human biological female” and man as an “adult human biological male”. This will allow the government to legally discriminate against Transgender, Intersex and Takatāpui New Zealanders. There have also been concerns raised that using the word adult in the definition will exclude minors from women's rights such as access to abortions. I remind you that this government does not care about women. In 2025 this government passed the equal pay amendment act which made it almost impossible for women to make pay equity claims, as of May 2026 this is currently being investigated by the United Nations for systematic discrimination against women. It has been clear to me and hopefully you how badly similar bills in the US and UK have affected Trans and Intersex citizens. In short, this bill could affect their access to healthcare, government IDs that match their gender, gendered services and overall safety. Internationally, bills like this one have also negatively affected cis women and girls who they claim to protect. In the US we have seen this lead to “genital inspections” to allow young girls to play sports and the end of Roe v. Wade which has taken away access to abortions for many women and girls even in cases where the pregnant person's life is at risk. The wording of the bill is intentionally vague, unscientific and intentionally does not define what biological female/male means. Biological sex in humans is not black and white there are many variables, this definition leaves biology up to interpretation by politicians not biologists. Vague wording is often used against the queer community, as for example seen with the ban of drag “in public or anywhere minors might be present” in Tennessee 2023 where the lack of definition of “male or female impersonator” made it unclear whether trans or gender non-conforming people would be allowed in public spaces. In a real life scenario how do you even prove someone's biological sex by this vague definition since this bill claims it will “ensure that language in law reflects biological reality”? Are for example women trying to access women’s shelters going to have to endure hormone or chromosome testing, genital inspections, must they always carry their birth certificate to prove their assigned sex at birth? For a bill that claims to support reality they seem to have not even considered its real life application. Let me know if there's anything I should add/correct to this post!

[sapphistvampyr]

I wanna give a quick mention to youtube.com/itsintheballot for uploading the speeches about this bill in parliament to youtube

There's a million different political commentary channels that would cover something like this if it was in the US but I've found it quite hard to find youtube channels that cover NZ politics (at least that are not far right reactionary yikes). You could likely either find the speeches on Tiktok/Reels or the full thing on parliament tv but personally I'm not someone that would watch either of those so I've been finding this helpful to stay updated

i'm sure most of you must've heard about the earthquakes in venezuela yesterday (june 24th). the magnitudes were 7.2 and 7.5 respectively; while felt throughout the country the most affected zones have been la guaira and caracas, with some places being reduced to dust and the number of injures and casualties climbing up. this is not a country that's prepared to deal with any, let alone this, kind of emergency, so any help that could be extended to us would be really appreciated.

i haven't seen many options for people outside to donate. easiest way is this fundraiser from the I Love Venezuela Foundation

Donate to Emergency Relief for Venezuela Earthquake Victims, organized by I Love Venezuela Foundation

Venezuela needs our help now. After a devastating earthqu… I Love Venezuela Foundation needs your support for Emergency Relief for Venez

you can also donate directly through zelle and binance to Organizacion Solo con Fe in barquisimeto, but !!! make sure to label it "donacion" so it can be correctly identified. everything will be used for relief in the affected zones.

lastly, Passagio is a Miami-based courier that's put a special fare of $4/lb for aid to be sent to venezuela. no profits will be made from this, that's strictly transportation costs. they're accepting: medicine, non-perishable food, hygiene products, clothing, essential supplies.

you can donate at your own discretion and screen any and all of these as you wish, obviously. any help and signal boosting is extremely appreciated, and if i find other means for help to be sent directly i'll add them.

[vamptual]

this post has several resources for people abroad, some i've previously added on this post. i would personally suggest focusing on the contacts in the first and last slides as that seems to me the quickest way to get the money to collection centers

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

[ninanation]

please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.

[creacher-art]

USA folks, that is a consistent temperature range hitting 113°. Death Valley temperatures. In Banda, it hovered between 116°-118° (47°-48° C) for a week straight.

This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:

ActionAid India

SEEDS India

GlobalGiving

Raise India (Project Tapan)

i think they should put doctor who in the public domain and let us all start taking cracks at it on youtube
