like people forget that weird girls grow into weird adult women. it doesn't just go away. and no you don't perish when you turn 25 or automatically turn into a nonweird wife and mother like some kind of Pokémon end evolution, you end up like me.

#or you transition

[troublepunk-ldn]

luckily weird little boys are also transitioning into weird adult women, so the balance is maintained and the world is full of cool weird adult women

MURDERBOT 1.02 — Eye Contact

i dont think fight club was co-opted by the right because they didnt get the satire, it was co-opted because it fuckign kicks ass. they would have co-opted any movie that is that good and has hot sweaty men in it. right wingers aren't aliens, they know a good movie when they see it, the lesson isn't "don't make satire because the wrong people might think its for them" the lesson would be "don't make art that kicks ass" and i'd rather there be art that kicks ass

[patricia-taxxon]

leftists do this too, like we see a movie that is so good it makes us see stars and then reverse engineer that transcendent beauty into something as banal and explainable as political resonance. we do it with pro-capitalist anti-corporation art, we do it with anti-capitalist pro-monarchy art, this is just a thing that happens in the brains of people who experience great art. why is that the art's problem

“I came to learn that women have never had a history or culture of leisure. (Unless you were a nun, one researcher later told me.) That from the dawn of humanity, high status men, removed from the drudge work of life, have enjoyed long, uninterrupted hours of leisure. And in that time, they created art, philosophy, literature, they made scientific discoveries and sank into what psychologists call the peak human experience of flow. Women aren’t expected to flow. I read feminist leisure research (who knew such a thing existed?) and international studies that found women around the globe felt that they didn’t deserve leisure time. It felt too selfish. Instead, they felt they had to earn time to themselves by getting to the end of a very long To Do list. Which, let’s face it, never ends. I began to realise that time is power. That time is a feminist issue.”

oh this comic shows up in a really cool anthology i bought a few years back (and was just rereading in fact) called No Straight Lines. it covers the last 40 years of LGBT comics and the various phases, influences and unsung heroes of the zine scene and more. (such as a chapter that focuses heavily on what art and stories resulted from the AIDS crisis, the clash of the gay sexual revolution and the rise of homosexual monogamy, and more.) highly recommended if you’re interested in LGBT history and comics!

Hey I know this artist! Her and her son are going through a really tough time right now and could really use your support!

You can find her Etsy here (she makes custom pottery/figurines)

listen. aging into your thirties rocks. yes your joints get a little creaky. yes you can’t sleep in a pretzel on the floor anymore after a concert or a convention. and you lose some friends. but the thing is that you sort out who your real friends are and you sort out who you really are. and you get to see your friends settling into careers they like, and adopt new dogs and cats, and you find a job you can stand, and get really good at arts and crafts, and maybe that book you loved as a kid gets a movie deal and it doesn’t suck, and you learn to like new food and bake your own bread, and you realize that the great portfolio of self harm scars you all used to curate are going white with age and not updated, and half your friends are a different gender now and so much happier and maybe you are too, and you know who you are, and that it’s a journey and not a revelation. it’s a direction you’re headed, and you’re enjoying the trip.

reaching your 30′s rocks. and i’m hearing good things about what comes next, too.

[roach-works]

i am looking into your eyes, i am holding your hand. i absolutely promise.

if you can just live long enough, your soul will build your body into a home. you will live there and you will find a way to be at peace. it’s worth the time and it’s worth the work. i promise.

[futureevilscientist]

Also you become happier with how you look, and I do mean including the things you can’t change, like your nose or whatever

YIKES

[robertwire]

it is very important to have friends who unapologetically dislike the same things u dislike that other people like a lot so u can talk about it in private and avoid being a jackass in public.

[robertwire]

i love this reply. the goal of militias: to avoid being a jackass in public. i mean like are you wrong, legally? no. but you are insane, and that is so hot, etc.

Girls will be like Idk why im so unproductive recently and then you ask whats going on in their life and they list eight lifestopping crisies and then say 'yeah but i should be fine :/ '

[largishcat]

circling back around to the issue of writers being expected to do all their own goddamn marketing via social media these days, because it completely nixes the possibility of writers being weird shut ins, off-putting eccentrics, or misanthropes. 80% of the literary canon was written by weird shut ins, off-putting eccentrics, and misanthropes. if you weed out everyone who’s the wrong kind of insane to maintain a twitter presence, who on earth is left

“yikes- op is a spn blogger.”

*miranda priestly voice* OK, I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your dash and you reblog that corny romantic quote, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously and care about what you put on your dash, but what you don't know is that that post is not just a romantic quote. It's not richard siken. It's not louise glück. It's actually supernatural fanfic. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2008, eric kripke did a season on angels falling from grace, and then I think it was ben edlund who showed a fallen angel in military jackets, and then endverse tropes quickly set up in the collections of different fic writers. And then it filtered down through the spn bloggers, and then trickled on down onto some tragic aesthetic blog where you no doubt fished it out of some generic love tag. However, that quote represents thousands of fics and countless blogs, and it's sort of comical how you think you made a choice that exempts you from big destiel when, in fact, you're reblogging a quote that was selected for you, by my mutuals, from a cw tv show.
