Hi, its me. The warmest creature in the world. I love you. Im the warmest creature in the world and I love you so much and I need to be in your lap right now. Yes, I know about the heat wave. That's okay though because I was already the warmest creature in the world so I don't mind. I love you and you need to let me sleep in your lap right now. I'm soooo warm and I love you sooo much. If you say no you'll be saying no to a thing that love you. Let me sleep in your lap. When I fall asleep I get warmer. I love you

Everyone's so focused on Grace's primary hypothesis (life doesn't need water) remaining unsupported that you're ignoring his secondary hypothesis (the Goldilocks zone is for idiots) being proven correct

[atomikats]

his first point was going to be “i don’t even get up at night to pee”

So I'm not gonna claim that I have OCD or anything BUT I notice that my relationship/reassurance seeking is almost exactly what I've read about it. In addition, I've heard that people close to the sufferer of the symptom are supposed to not reassure the person if asked because that just feeds their cycle? Now I am not nearly educated enough to comment or debate that. I am going to hope, however, that that is what my friends are doing the few times they don't immediately text me back when I've said something weird

[girl-blorbo-polls]

Would you kill any fictional characters for your girl blorbo?

Yes, several characters

Yes, one in particular

I wouldn’t kill them but I would make them compensate her in some way

I would, but they’re already dead

No, no characters I would kill for her

Other/nuance

Remaining time: 5 days 23 hours

Grace explaining sheepishly to Eridian linguists that the reason he uses different pronouns for Rocky than for the rest of the population is that he reflexively defaulted to assigning Rocky the same grammatical and social gender that he himself uses, in a way that has historical precedent but in modern English is considered somewhat chauvinistic and backward, and he's not proud of it but also the habit is pretty deeply ingrained now and unless Rocky objects it's probably easier to just keep on as he has been...

and immediately being informed lol. lmao. do not even worry about it. you have no idea what kind of buck wild grammatical constructs Rocky has invented for you. everyone else addresses you as foreigner/scholar. they're somehow managing to refer to you as their sibling, ward, and semidivine culture hero at the same time every time they talk about you.

i’ll be real, kitten, daddy needs multiple wealthy and powerful folks to die in a painful, drawn-out, and generationally humiliating manner

my fave greek history story to tell is that of agnodice. like she noticed that women were dying a lot during childbirth so she went to egypt to study medicine in alexandria and was really fucking good but b/c it was illegal for women to be doctors in athens she had to pretend to be a man. and then the other doctors noticed that she was 10x better than them and accused her of seducing and sleeping with the women patients. like they brought her to court for this. and she just looked at them and these charges and stripped in front of everyone like “yeah. im not fucking your wives” and then they got so mad that a woman was better at their jobs then them that they tried to execute her but all her patients came to court and were like “are you fucking serious? she is the reason you have living children and a wife.” so they were shamed into changing the law and that is how women were given the right to practice medicine in athens

[autieblesam-deactivated20190506]

Yeah, this isn’t some Greek myth story about a hero or demigod or something, Agnodice was a real person who actually did this.

genuinely really funny when twerfs believe that porn is what proliferates misogyny. how do they think this interacts with gay men and their misogyny. like do we think it's perhaps from societal structures, centuries of discrimination leading to straightforward advantages for men (and sometimes women) for performing misogyny (which also affects marginalized men who, you know, sometimes, wouldn't ever really interact with porn about women) or is it the consumption of erotic art which often has women in it or is just straight up made by women. which not every man consumes.

[pocket-deer-belly]

noticing that porn often has misogyny in it and concluding that it is a corrupting force that causes or exacerbates misogyny, and not like, concluding that societal forces of misogyny cause people to put misogyny in their porn

[pocket-deer-belly]

do we kill fashion as an artform because fashion has a lot of misogyny in it

imagining grace in his first year of teaching kind of automatically introducing himself as dr. ryland grace bc that's what he's used to. and the kids are like O_O dr? and somebody inevitably googles him and finds a video of his final crashout. and because 13 year olds are little menaces, when he inevitably snaps at the class to sit down and do their work at some point (his classroom management skills need time to develop okay) somebody puts on a little pouty face and goes "dr. grace? you don't.....you don't think i'm a.....a staggering waste of carbon......do you?" and grace's life flashes before his eyes.

and next year he's just mr. grace and doesn't tell any kids his first name so it's harder for them to google him (they manage it anyway).

We’ve all heard of masculinity in a peacock way, but I’d like to pose a new idea: femininity in an anglerfish way
