Do you think Michael Crichton had a deep-seated hatred of theme parks because he was too tall for all the rides?

[wanderer-chronicles]

Yes.

[tumblr] is a flat circle.

[baddywronglegs]

Damn, it sure is huh

We should do this more on this website.

I have been brought before the scriptures and my heresies found canonical.

I accept the judgement "unoriginal" and "should have looked it up first" but, in my inadequate defence, Tumblr's search function does fucking suck.

[zeemczed]

Defense found perfectly cromulent. Let Baddywronglegs free, and let no mark be against said blog.

[fozmeadows]

"I have been brought before the scriptures and my heresies found canonical" is an all-time banger line.

60s sci-fi will really have you saying shit like "we used to think the future would be good"

[tlirsgender]

Even when it's not, like, *utopian* per se there's a general air of just presupposed optimism given the whole (gestures broadly) civil rights movement and space race and all. The political motivations behind the space race are uh besides the point. The zeitgeist of it all was so. Head in hands. God

[friendlybatteringram]

I've often found that humanity itself is much like a struggling individual. We have ups and downs, and when we're in the dumps, we lose sight of the bigger picture of how far we've come. And, much like the struggling individual, when those bad times come, we have to keep our spirits high and hold onto our hopes and continue to believe (and act on those beliefs) that the future will be good. It's easy to think so when things are already looking up. But good futures can only begin when we face the worst of ourselves.

I believe this is the perfect time to start building a good future.

[quasi-normalcy]

We need to fight like hell.

[quasi-normalcy]

Of course, it is worth noting that a lot of 60s sci-fi is also like "too bad about the Atomic Wars of 1986"

it's actually so crazy how much the simpsons would fucking suck if it didn't have any of the simpsons characters. just a bunch of shots of empty houses and streets for half an hour while nothing happens. that would be so badddd lol

[auroroboros1]

yeah that tends to happen when you remove characters from media. without characters its all just background. i guess movies set in scenic locations would still land as kinda nature docs but even then

[dragongirlsweetie]

it only happens with the simpsons

[auroroboros1]

this same criticism could be applied to nearly any media ever.

[dragongirlsweetie]

it's just the simpsons. are you a troll?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Dragon's right, if you remove all the Simpsons characters from Death Note it hardly changes anything

there are only two ways to "solve" homelessness: house them or kill them. prison is the latter, btw

Another reason why trains would be good is that most people are not good at driving

Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Walking for three minutes, is better than nothing. Drinking a glass of water and eating a snack, is better than nothing. Wiping down the counter, is better than nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. You don’t have to achieve grand things if all you’re capable of right now is the smaller things. They are still achievements. Don’t do nothing just because you don’t think you’re capable of doing bigger things, just do something you’re capable of today.

Rip Anthony Stewart Head.

Here's an amazing story about him that I read years ago and never forgot.

I'd hoped to meet him at a convention, myself, one day.

Heartwarming story of Buffy's Giles going out of his way for a young trans fan

i think this is the funniest possible image that could be used to illustrate this subject

[girlnextvore]

[petite-guignol]

OK FUN FACT i also thought this picture was hilarious when i encountered it a few months ago, so i was curious how it ended up on wikipedia

it turns out the uploader is in fact the woman in the photo (she's uploaded a few other pictures of herself to other articles) and she ran an extremely web 1.0 site on the topic of bondage

this was apparently a long-standing fantasy of hers and she in fact did an entire video plus accompanying photoshoot about it, which was run in a bondage magazine in the 90s and did in fact take place on an abandoned train track. they committed to the bit hard enough that there's even a shot of the sinister villain looming over her with a big document labeled DEED and a pen

the best part is that according to this page, there were two "villains" involved (the woman's two partners, apparently), and the other one was dressed as a gorilla. sadly there are no images of the gorilla kidnapper because that sounds like. even funnier.

anyway i thought this whole thing was kinda cute, lol
