a lot has been said about how racist it is to treat the australian wilderness as some evil wasteland death world, but it should be noted it's also very hypocritical of americans to pretend australia has a monopoly on dangerous wildlife

"australia has spiders and snakes and wild dogs!" girl we have all that too. we're a country with multiple species of bear, get real.

Booksmith sells online! They even have book mystery boxes based on other books you love. Let's show them (and others) that they made a good business AND moral choice.

#reblog #I've been shopping at the booksmith my entire life and I'm gonna have to keep shopping there even harder #the place rules #the employees rule #the owner rules #for more reasons than just this #it's funny this is also the bookstore I went to all the midnight launches for every HP book for too #they used to go all out

we need to have a conversation about how the "everyone is 12" theory of politics now doesn't only apply to conservative men who want to kick the bad guys' asses and then go home and eat a steak their bangmommy made just for them (NO VEGGIES!!!) but also to adult women who are literally afraid of other people having sex and being sexy. it's like there's been this massive regression among women in their 20s where we've gotten rid of feminism and replaced it with a new form of purity politics that requires never saying anything bad about another women unless you find a new and creative way to call her a whore. the misuse of "she caters to the male gaze" as a new form of enlightened slut shaming, labeling any woman who wears a short skirt or has sex with a man as "not a girls' girl" and "a pick me," the intense overreaction to celebrity affairs or even just shit like the summer house mess where a woman is now dating another woman's ex even though there was no overlap and the "relationship" was just kind of a situationship that fizzled but now these little girls are online demanding both people involved in the new relationship lose their jobs and not get any brand deals, the panic over mildly sexual content in literally any capacity like ads or an instagram post in a crop top, the compulsion to link everything back to the epstein files, the monthly meltdown over sex scenes on tv and in movies. everyone is 12 and AFRAID of sabrina carpenter.

it's weird how whenever a neighbor's smoke alarm goes off it's because they're a talentless hack who can't cook, but when mine goes off it's because my culinary craft is being hamstrung by a draconian smoke detector that is far too sensitive for its own good

netflix priding themselves in not releasing their episodes weekly to eventually split their seasons in 2 parts is so embarrassing. they fucked up the weekly release system and did irreparable things to television to cowardly backtrack to an inconvenient system which leaves the user starving and unsatisfied for a month. fuck netflix and bring back the weekly releases

#reblog #since my partner moved in we've been like #setting our weekly clocks to which series' episode is out that night #and it means instead of spending a whole afternoon watching all the week's stuff we get to space it out over a week and discuss it #and do other things with our weekend time #fuck you Netflix gimme the rest of the bridgerton season NEOW

Reblog and put in the tags if there’s any text printed on the clothes you’re wearing right now and if yes, what does it say?

#reblog #im wearing my chromeo tee they did to raise money for Lebanon after the Beirut explosion #so the top bar of the Lebanese flag is the word 'Chromeo' in a sort of retro sign/graffiti font #and then underneath the bottom of the flag #it says 'lebanon' in Arabic

Spin the wheel.

You have been offered a full-ride scholarship to get a four-year degree in this field, specifically. Upon graduation, you will be guaranteed a job in this field at the 75th percentile of average salary for the field, with the possibility of further advancement as the years go on.

However, you will never be able to get a job in any other field.

Do you take the offer?

100% yes!

Probably yes

I'm honestly torn, this is a hard choice

Probably not

Absolutely fucking not

#reblog #started off fucking terrible with the end of my first Big Relationship that I (perhaps naively) thought would be the One #but then that summer and onwards paved the way for a pretty good fucking rest of the year all things told.

quasi-normalcy

If trench warfare were made-up, it would be the most on-the-nose anti-war satire ever created. Bunch of young men shooting at each other from inside open graves, slowly rotting even as they fight to stay alive. Every so often, they get to move a few hundred metres to dig a new grave for themselves somewhere else and this is called a victory.

#reblog #this also elides the fact that the act of moving that grave forward usually requires an out and out charge of all of said young men #which inevitably results in the gruesome demise of a very large percentage of them

men and women are not opposites. men and women are not enemies. men and women are two parts of a broad coalition which fights against a mutual enemy: inkjet printers

So, a funny thing happened on trigun twitter

(amazon link where its 50% off as of May 8th: https://www.amazon.com/This-How-You-Lose-Time/dp/1534430997/)

cadriona

Update, “this is how you lose the time war” is now #21 on Amazon’s bestseller’s list

(semi-related note but I too have now ordered the book)

cadriona

another update: Amal El -Mohtar wrote a small article on her blog (https://amalelmohtar.com/i-tried-to-title-this-post-for-twenty-minutes-and-failed/), one which contains the words “[…] and the upshot of it all is that corporate marketing people at Simon & Schuster now know the name Bigolas Dickolas.”

cadriona

Further update!

Time war has reached #7 on the amazon bestseller’s list and is still discounted!

(thread found here: https://twitter.com/tithenai/status/1655613629604016151?s=20)

In addition:

I know it made it up to #6 at one point. Being a pre-existing fan of both Trigun and This is How You Loose the Time War made this especially enjoyable.

I’m just going to add some more Twitter screencaps I pasted into the groupchat.

The producer of Trigun Stampede. (No word from Nightow yet, I checked.)

A literary agent. To be precise, the agent of at least one of the authors of Time War.

Slate, posting their article about the whole thing.

A frenzy of mutual adoration and signed hardcover offers.

Other authors want in on the Bigolas Dickolas goodness.

Dongwon again.

Saw this on Twitter and HAH.

Bigolas Dickolas is now Alexander the Great.

And finally, the forecast is good for a livestream of Max and Amal watching Trigun.

in more pleasant news: this year is seeing the biggest humpback migration in Australian history, bigger than it was PRE whaling. That's right, there are more humpbacks migrating off the coast of Australia than there were BEFORE industrial whaling started.

A huge, fat W for environmentalists and Greenies. what an achievement
