Can we please start having the conversation around how not dating in your teenage/formative years can fuck with your self esteem

[theholetour]

Like when everyone around you is getting in relationshsips and you’re not you start to assume something is wrong with you, and as more time goes on you think you’re running out of time and if and when you do get into a relationship you feel like you’re playing catch up and might run the risk of getting to clingy too fast because you aren’t used to that type of attention

look if you think 2012 doctor who fandom was cringey, that’s nothing. in 1985, when the show was on a hiatus and it looked like it might cancelled, people got together to release a charity single about how the bbc should bring back the doctor called doctor in distress, and it’s one of the worst things i’ve ever listened to with my own two ears

EIGHTEEN MONTHS IS TOO LONG TO WAIT

BRING BACK THE DOCTOR DON’T HESITATE!

Fun fact: there’s a stellar sea lion at my zoo who is, in fact, in sea lion jail.

This big boy is an absolute GLUTTON for endangered salmon, so he had to be relocated by like idk fish and wildlife ig. But he… came back. So they moved him again. And he… came back. Eventually their only choice was to lock him up in the local zoo.

If you look in his eyes you can see him plotting to get back to that river and eat his fill in forbidden fish once more.

[lionesshathor]

I volunteered for a wildlife center/zoo once where one of the ravens was in a similar situation. Instead of gorging on forbidden fish, he was in Birdie Jail for attacking school children and stealing their lunches.

WHERE IS THIS ANIMATED FILM I NEED IT

[theglowpt2-deactivated20200101]

i don’t know if guillermo del toro self-identifies as goth but, regardless, the man embodies such a raw spirit of all things goth

[newtgeiszler]

did mary shelley self identify as goth? did edgar allen poe? it does not matter. he is right up there with our founding fathers.

It’s weird to think this comic predates the rise of Internet spam, though otherwise it reads like it could’ve been drawn yesterday.

If you had shown me this site in 2005 I would have asked you if had checked your virus software lately, because this looks like a bad one. I would have clicked away so fast it would give you whiplash. Looking at these sites now, I have to convince myself that they aren't virus laden sites and fight against the pavlovian urge to just navigate away.

[eclecticmasterpiece]

I navigate away anyways because fuck them, there's usually a better site (though they are dwindling quickly). I still can't get over how the internet "as intended" today looks like a malware ridden fever dream from 20 years ago. This is every story I've ever read about an empire that used to be great and has now fallen into turmoil.

[picturesque-about-it]

Beloveds, there is a wonderful website that gets rid of all that crap<3

[crunchbuttsteak]

I use the goons with spoons wiki since it also has recipes without all the bs that accompanies them online.

Concept: Zuko sending izumi to a regular school so she could have some semblance of a normal childhood, she doesn't realize completely yet that she's the crown princess and that she's any different from her classmates. One day teacher sends home permission forms for s field trip and asks parents to help chaperone and izumi BEGS zuko BEGS him to chaperone the trip and zuko cant say no so he works around his schedule to go on this field trip with izumi and the rest of her classmates are like wtf wtf wtf the firelord is here??????

[filialdisciple]

Izumi's teacher: F-Firelord Zuko?

Zuko: It's Lee, actually.

[familiarboomerang]

Zuko: The Firelord's scar is on the other side

Every child in the class: * holds up a picture of Zuko they made out of noodles * No it's not!

[erisenyo]

Zuko, standing beneath an official portrait of himself without realizing it: No, I’m pretty sure it is

[dorksidefiker]

And the tradition of Life Changing Field Trips with Zuko continues.

A perfect time to bring this back:

[parksanddeserts]

In my linguistics class we had a Chinese girl who had adopted a European name. We all didn't speak Cantonese and understood her wish to not have her name butchered all the time, except for one of us, a guy who thought he knew to differentiate between tones perfectly because he was learning Vietnamese. He saw himself as super woke and he thought it was wrong for her to adopt a European name when we should just try harder to pronounce her Chinese name (which honestly is just really difficult if you don't speak the language at all, even for linguists). So he would constantly call her by her Chinese name which she initially didn't even want to share, but he kept asking her for it, and from the look on her face I could tell that he did not get it right, and that she didn't like it at all. The first time he did it she even told him it wasn't correct, but he kept going, so sure he knew how to pronounce it. So like I 100% agree that we should put in effort to pronounce names from foreign languages and not give up on the first try if we get it wrong, but we should also respect people's wishes when they know we can't do it/they know it takes too much effort for them to teach us how to pronounce it. In that case, we should just use the name we're being told to use. It's that simple.

Fellow linguists, don't be that guy™

My grandfather admitted in his 90s that he should have received treatment for PTSD but that wasn’t socially culturally or medically common when he was a younger man

Were just gonna go ahead and say betty white lived to be 100, anyone got a problem with that?

[thebibliosphere]

Not a damn thing.

[aqueerkettleofish]

She was closer to 100 than she was to 99.9. It's not just wishful thinking, it's more mathematically accurate.
