The Adelaide Rosella is most likely a hybrid between 2 subspecies of P. elegans, the Crimson and the Yellow Rosellas.

how do we explain to children that all our tech briefly worked perfectly and over time we threw it all away for sleek menus and corporate opacity

when i upgraded from a flip phone to an iphone and realized i could no longer record and set a custom ringtone because apple wanted me to buy radio pop ringtones, i realized, oh cool new tech isnt made for us it's made to exploit us and we are going to let it happen

@wordsandrobots and his partner are watching Gundam Wing and i am being unfairly persecuted for unjust and cruelly terrible reasons such as my belief that Wing is good actually and makes sense if you REALLY look at it and also ignore the many things that do not make sense and are not good.

AND IS THIS A CRIME???

NAY, I SAY

and yet, ladies and gentleman of the jury, I have been subjected to such indignigites and offences AS:

Scruffing by the neck until sideways

the damages were severe.

AND:

UNAUTHORIZED LION COLORS

the changes have left me vulnerable to ducks, and VFX background removal.

BUT YOU WILL NOT SILENCE ME!!!! I SHALL NOT YIELD TO THIS VICIOUS CAMPAIGN AGAINST SMALL BONELESS FELINES!

WING IS GOOD! IT'S GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!

For your immediate attention.

(Full disclosure, I am subjecting my partner to the English dub AKA how I first encountered Gundam Wing. This is likely compounding the *gestures* everything.)

My favorite genre of post on here is the one where someone has written something on how funny it is when a post blows up, because they’re always like “lol isn’t it funny when people get way more notes than they want, anyway what is up my three (3) followers” and then you scroll down and it has 35k notes and with each new reblog the op sounds like they’re one step closer to moving to the woods and never returning

[geometricfractal]

Whoa whoa no need to be hasty here

Two-year-old just realized that gay marriage exists via How to Train Your Dragon.

Context: she always gets SUPER excited the first time Stoic (Hiccup's actual dad) comes on screen. "THAT HICCUP'S DAD!" (Dads and moms are very close to a two-year-old's heart and must be identified across all media).

After careful analysis (watching the first movie approximately 1,000,000 times), she was staring intently at the screen watching Hiccup interact with the blacksmith, a Very Intense Frown on her face. Finally, she turned to me.

Baby: Hiccup has two dads?

Me, inserting mental calculus meme in my own head as I realize that writing those two as married would fundamentally change nothing in their first movie dynamic and the blacksmith does indeed fill the narrative function of Second Parent: ...Yes baby, some people have two dads.

Baby turning back to screen, her frowny face clearing: HICCUP HAS TWO DADS!

On the one hand, i’m amused at the joke. On the other hand, I’m a librarian and this shelving is horrifying.

[tharook]

Well, no shelving system is without fault.

[homunculus-argument]

I don't know if it has a name in english, but in finnish there's the term "luunappi", where you hold your index- or middle-finger behind your thumb and push forward, to give it momentum so once it escapes from behind your thumb, it snaps at whatever is right in front of it - usually someone's forehead. I guess a good-enough english translation for that would be "boneflick", since you're only snapping someone with your finger bones. More unpleasant than painful, and leaves no marks nor physical damage. In hindsight mom doing that to us when we were kids was probably not ok just because it was normal in the 90s.

Anyway me and my boyfriend have gotten more into Warhammer this year, and the term "luunappietäisyys" has become a normal term in the household, and I believe it applies to other crafts as well. The idea of "bone-flick distance" is that any mistakes in your work don't count if the only way for someone to see them is to stand within your arm's length to study the piece - close enough for you to flick them if they point any of them out.

i think villains in general provide better, more epic romances because they're allowed to go to extremes. they're allowed to put their love over the greater good. they're allowed to be selfish. the best a hero can offer you is number two, because their duty comes first. villains, though. villains will burn down the world for a last kiss goodbye.

[cake-writes]

[divinesong]

Yea, sure. Until YOU or people you love are among the victims for someone else’s love and the villains won’t care. Would also like to point out that some villians(Kuvira, for example) have been willing to sacrifice/throw away love interests for their own goals.

[bauliya]

idk about you but existing in the real world gives me and my loved ones immunity from the actions of fictional villains. hope you manage to get your family out of star wars.

“You think every citizen should have access to free and accessible healthcare?”

Wrong!!!

I think that Asylum seekers and Migrant workers and The Undocumented and Everyone Else should get free healthcare too

I love immigration

[crippled-peeper]

This one made the fascists and the racists really really mad. I get hate mail daily for this post

Imagine getting mad because someone else’s child’s chemotherapy doesn’t cost them 100,000$ .
