I wanted to see the universe

Jay, 19, Sydney they/them/their I'm not so great at writing "about me"s, if you're really interested you can check out the one my friend wrote for me. This is was a fandom blog, now mostly feminism/funny stuff/science/whatever, good luck. disclaimer: any of my own work is tagged as such please feel free to message me to call me out and to ask me to tag tw/cw resting Time Lords

One of my favourite anecdotes about the first Golden Age of Piracy is that, at one point, Captain Henry Morgan left England in one ship, and arrived in the Caribbean commanding a completely different ship, and nobody knows why. What happened to the first ship and how he acquired the second one are entirely unrecorded.

At some point in his short career (1715 until 1718), the English pirate Ben Hornigold attacked a sloop near Honduras just to steal all the hats of the crew, because his own crew had gotten drunk the night before and they had tossed every single one of their own hats overboard.

Quick, somebody get Ted Cruz some Neosporin for those burns. Warren wasn’t even done. She goes on to tweet what he should be doing instead of complaining.

What page is this on. I remember this happening just where?

this comic was inspired by actual events in book 6

Sitting comfortably with your tummy fat rolls in front of your partner is an under-appreciated form of intimacy

After Darsh’s photo was used in an Islamophobic joke, the internet rallied around him in love and respect. His response on MSNBC is the definition of poise and rising above the hate.

what they did with the ages in the harry potter movies really weirds me out 

lily and james died when they were twenty-one. let me say that again. lily and james died when they were twenty-one. the movies made them look like they were in their forties which took away from the tragedy of their really young deaths (I’ve outlived them by five years whaaaaaat)

I love alan rickman, but let’s break this down. snape is the same age as lily and james and they died at twenty-one and ten years later harry comes to hogwarts. that makes snape thirty-one at the start of the first book. I love alan rickman, but he was in his late fifties when he did the movies

same with lupin and sirius: david thewlis and gary oldman were in their late forties and it showed

if sirius went to azkaban when he was twenty-one and got out when he was thirty-four, then he spent more than a third of his life in there

I think showing them in their thirties makes what they’ve gone through so much more poignant. it really gives the full picture of how young they were to be fighting voldemort and taking on that amount of responsibility

this is making me want the bbc or hbo to make a tv series and get everything right that the movies got wrong

social anxiety is realizing you’re lonely, not wanting to be lonely, being handed and opportunity not to be lonely, and still choosing to be lonely because despite every previous indicator that you would be welcome to join in on other people’s fun and stop being lonely, you’re still afraid that no one wants you around

i wonder if magic is real, but only in a really mundane way.

when i was little i could almost inerringly switch back to disney channel right as the ads ended when i was channel surfing.

maybe youve never accidentally crushed a ladybug underfoot. maybe your microwave popcorn never burns. maybe you can spin around lots and lots of times before you get dizzy.

is that magic??

honestly im not sure if these are magic or just small, invisible skills. im not sure which i like better.

My ankles never twist.  I’ve always been rather active, I did track for five years (all the running events), and one time while running I stepped in a hole, lost my shoe, and landed sprawling about five feet away.  I pulled my shoe on and kept running.

I have a coworker who somehow makes better coffee than everyone else even though the grounds come pre-measured and all you have to do is load them up and push a button.  I have a friend who has inch long nails that never break.  My brother can copy origami just by looking at the finished product and my mother can do the same with knots.  I knew a guy who never made an error when typing.

Maybe we all have little magics, the kind that you don’t realize you have.  Just tiny things that make your life slightly better but are completely unnoticed on the outside.

dude, he also kept turning around to wave at us, the poor assholes who waited two hours in line to be seated in the back, just so that we didn’t feel as left out.

he hugged a Muslim student who was getting rather emotional asking him a question about how he planned to fight Islamophobia

and he hugged and personally thanked every student who came up to speak for him

student, I might add, that he brought up to speak so that they could share their experiences

and can i just say, what politician would ask students to speak to other students? is this man not the truest advocate of democracy and free speech and government by the people? he took students, people who were “one of us” and let them introduce him so that that their voices could be heard and of COURSE they would support a man who would do that

and we all know that he was arrested for protesting segregation

this man might not be the greatest politician or speaker, but we value charisma far too much over quality nowadays

we value donald trump’s angry, passionate racist rhetoric over the words of a kind, compassionate old man who has experience and knowledge with policy in Congress simply because he’s a professional who DOESN’T talk shit about other people and cares so genuinely about us, the American citizens, that he wants us to speak through him. 

isn’t that what we want? 

even if you don’t agree with all of the things he’s says, he’s been amazingly receptive to the opinions and stances of people who’ve talked to him

he doesn’t believe in partisan politics and will work with republicans, whereas hillary apparently just wants to fight them (which will probably shut down the government again) 

so bernie2016

i didn’t agree with everything he had to say, but i was damn well sure that he will hear us loud and clear

There is a community on Facebook called ‘Deaf People For Bernie Sanders” that is posting videos and news specifically pertaining to this.

i’m bored of mental health discourse that doesn’t consider capitalism’s effect on people. like sure i take antidepressants to deal with mental health problems, and they change the chemicals in my brain, but the root cause isn’t that the chemicals in my brain were wrong, it’s that we live in an alienating hell system that treats people as commodities

[hugbees]

not to be mean, but do you srsly think something else like communism would help your mental health?

[lesbianmooncolony-deactivated20]

i think not having to spend a third of my life doing something i hate surrounded by people i hate in order to not starve would improve my mental health

i think having adequate free access to mental health services would help my mental health

i think not being constantly advertised at and told my worth is measured in how much shit i own or how much men want to fuck me would help my mental health

i think not having to worry about choosing between a roof over my head and a meal in my stomach would improve my mental health

why this happen

[capnkeegan-deactivated20171104]

Labels are very important in science experiments.  Because the bottle is labeled “woosh bottle,” it must go woosh.  

[chicanaspice-deactivated2018011]

thank u for this science, friend

trans people deserve access to hrt in an immediate fashion and not forced to wait months to years

[antisjw-garnet]

>teenager heavily influenced by media like tumblr telling him he’s wrong and bad and awful for being cis and is the source of everything evil >falls into depression >begins identifying as a girl so people will accept him and stop telling him to kill himself >one day hey I want HRT so I can be even more accepted >boy fucks up his life >suicide

There’s a reason you need a psychiatric evaluation first.

[wuh2k]

@socialjusticesummoner I feel like there should be a bus and t-shirts in this wild tangential hypothetical.

[socialjusticesummoner]

tumblr user noharmonynopeace: nothing in the history of time has ever happened less than that scenario you made up and never, ever would

if you think cis people are hated, BOY OH BOY let me tell you a thing or two about how trans people are treated lmao

[unbfacts]

How the Old Spice commercial was filmed. Practical effects.

Not at all what we thought!

I’m putting together a book of all the short comics I’ve drawn over the past year to have for sale at my spring conventions! Not sure what the title will be yet, but the uniting themes of all the stories seem to be Girls and Magic.

I drew this selkie comic really fast and it bounced all around tumblr which was cool, but the messy lettering and simple coloring bugged me so I cleaned it up a bit.
