hi i hope i get to be the one to break this news on Tumblr, because

I am reading Tim Curry’s 2025 memoir, Vagabond

and in it, he not only devotes a chapter to Muppet Treasure Island, but also references this very post

so, to recap

no, Tim Curry is absolutely NOT a Muppet; however

yes, he and Miss Piggy ABSOLUTELY fucked

#tim curry #muppets #he himself says he is not a muppet #he also acknowledges he and miss piggy dallied

The iron hand of Götz von Berlichingen (1480-1562), a knight and mercenary who lost his right arm in a siege [640×360]

brunhiddensmusings

points about this -it was shot off by a cannon -he continued being a knight for over 40 years after getting the iron hand -it was delicate enough he could still write with a quill using it, which is important as he was described as a ‘warrior poet’ -after a merchant-punching life suitable for an elder scrolls protagonist he was outlawed by the holy roman empire, friends of his used a high diplomacy roll and a bribe to get him out, and he then almost immediately kidnapped a bishop -after outlaw of the holy roman empire 2 electric boogaloo was placed under house arrest in a castle he had purchased with all his quest rewards to spend the next 20 years drunk off his ass

I can’t believe you’d make this post and not mention that his poetry contains the first known usage of the phrase “lick my ass”

A quick google says there’s a german movie about his life but I can’t seem to find a link/download and I NEED THIS LIKE AIR.

That’s a 16th century prosthetic arm all right, but not Gotz von Berlichingen’s.

(1) As the OP states, he lost his RIGHT hand, but the OP photo shows a LEFT hand. Even if it’s a flipped photo, it’s still not his hand because…

(2) The actual hand(s) look like this:

The German Wikipedia entry suggests that the cruder (”Dorfschmied” means something like “village blacksmith”) but sturdier “Iron Hand Mark 1″ was for regular wear and simple gripping tasks…

…while “Iron Hand Mark 2” with complicated insides for performing delicate actions like manipulating a pen…

…was itself too delicate for everyday use and was reserved for special occasions as “Sunday Best”.

Here are those complicated insides…

Besides holding a pen, I wonder could it do a fingersnap…

:-P

誕生日にいただいたお菓子が素敵すぎて。

両口屋是清の新業態「和菓子結」さんの「あまのはら」冬バージョンです。

空を模した錦玉羹と、羊羹でできた富士山。空には雲が浮かんでいます。

羊羹で作られた富士山は、切る部分によって違う色に変わっていきます。

食べ物とは思えないくらいにきれい。季節ごとに違う色で発売されているようで、これは四季それぞれを食べてみたくなるなー。

食べてみると思ったほど甘すぎず、ぺろっと食べれてしまいました。お腹にけっこう溜まるのは羊羹だからか。

海外の人からのウケも良さそうな感じ。店舗はお膝元の名古屋と、東京にも出ているみたいです。賞味期限は1カ月あるので、富士山をお土産に国外に持って帰れるのでは。ポータブル富士山、日本旅行のお土産にいかがでしょうか？

と、日本語で書いてもどうしようもないな。各自で翻訳してください。クッジュートランスレートディス！

Monas hieroglyphica Ioannis Dee, c. 1591

“In this sensible, visible, and artificial vitreous fire,

we observe that by artifice the spiral line is described;

and this by a certain motion, continuous and circular,

is led back into itself.

By this example we are taught

that natural motion is not simple and straight,

but circular and returning;

and that from a center it proceeds,

and into the same it is again resolved.”

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

post so nice had to reblog it twice and force it down everyone's throats

At minimum about 4.5 thousand people liked this without reblogging it.

We gotta fix that.

This study is being done by Dr. Lisa Littman, Dr. Kenneth Zucker, and J. Michael Bailey. The same people behind the “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” and other Transphobic pseudoscience. Do NOT give information to them via ayagdos, they have a long history of retractions and reported misconduct.

Report this ad wherever you see it. The fact that staff allows this kind of shit yet still turning a blind eye to everything else is just pure hatred.

Burden of Proof:

The project is called AYAGDOS—brought to you by the same names behind “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” pseudoscience.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access

Imagine if sometimes some fucking Ț̷̡͂̀̎͠h̸̜̅͐̄ì̸̩̮̃̃̆n̸̗̰̟͉͐̑͋͆͜g̸̮̻͔̼̬͌ could just crash through the shimmering veil of reality with a trail of fragments from the suffocating void enveloping it, grab whoever's unlucky enough to be closest, and swoop back out like it was nothing. And this was just one of your everyday hazards to worry about. Incredible cosmic horror concept
