Came out as non-binary to my parents today. Told them the name I’d chosen for myself and that I preferred they/them pronouns. Knew they’d be loving and supportive, but they surprised me with how happy they were for me.

So, yay.

The core conceit of Lord of the Rings is pretty funny. You are a twenty three year old in a suburb of Maine. The little bracelet in your grandpa’s attic has an inscription on it that is the password to the world’s entire nuclear arsenal. It is up to you to walk to the only hydraulic press in the world, located in Arizona, before the FBI finds the bracelet, kills you, and enslaves the suburb of Maine you currently live in

Please help me take care of my dog

My service dog Minion has picked up a limp, and the vet prescribed anti-inflammatories and a week of rest. It has helped but not fixed the problem. We're coming up on the end of the week and they're going to call and I'm not gonna be able to say he's better, so the next steps will need to happen and they're probably going to be pretty expensive. We're going to need to take X-rays, and if those see something wrong there might need to be surgery. I need to stock up some cash so I can take care of him properly.

Anything at all you can spare will help me out tremendously. Even a reblog is generous and welcome, thank you in advance for everything.

Minion's X-rays came back all right, which is a relief, but it does mean we don't really know what's up with him. There might possibly be a small tear in one of his important ligaments. We're going to get an expert radiologist opinion soon, and there might be surgery in the future, we're not sure yet.

Anything you can offer, including reblogs, is a huge assistance to us in facing this problem. Thank you again.

the chain of events in this minute and a half clip is so extremely delightful and funny

kermit and scooter riffing on how their physicality doesn't let them open the envelope to announce the winner. the audience immediately cracking up when it cuts to statler and waldorf because they know what the bit is gonna be. jim henson slipping into the kermit voice accidentally before bouncing back at record speed and riffing on it. richard hunt genuinely laughing at jim's joke but doing so in-character. prime muppets was something else man

My understanding is that she’ll be coming around the mountain when she comes

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

The data overwhelmingly indicates she will be riding six white horses when she comes

[inthefallofasparrow]

What's the likelihood that we’ll all go out to meet her upon arrival?

I love the Original Flavor Vader. Like, subsequent stuff made him ridiculous by giving him a backstory and world building and shit and I love it, but just imagine

He’s the Emperor’s goth Space Rasputin who you all have to let hang around, even though he’s really killing the vibe, has absolutely no real authority over any of you (Tarkin is the one giving the orders!), and likes to spew vague threatening mantras while you try to strategize and shit. None of you know where he comes from, Darth may or may not be his real name, and that religion he likes to lecture you about is Extremely Illegal

So one day you tell him his esoteric dying faith–that, like, two old men and a twink from Desert Bumblefuck still take seriously–is old, weird, and not as powerful as your fash wetdream planet-destroying laser–and also kinda useless, dude, it hasn’t exactly fixed that Rebel Problem you have going on

Unfortunately, he is also a seven-foot-tall laser-sword-wielding robot wizard of death, so in response to this, he gets mad and chokes you out with his mind

Your other boss (Tarkin, is Probably In Charge) treats this like it’s normal and tells both of you to play nice while you make sure your trachea is intact and The Magic Death Cyborg sulks in the corner because he wasn’t allowed to murder the non-believer

[tomjacksonservo]

Jedis being illegal actually is not mentioned in original recipe star wars so it’s not even that his religion is illegal from that perspective he’s just like if the dude who still believes in Zeus was right that Zeus is real
