So I was thinking…

Googled something about quick hydration and it suggested big jug of water, couple tbsp pickle juice, dash of lime juice.

Its surprisingly tasty????

you should care about kids because they’re people, btw. not because they’re “future adults” but because they are people right now and they deserve to be treated like people.

I want you to know that Prince of Egypt rocked my world so thoroughly, I mentioned it in my thesis.

It is not surprising but still disappointing that with insane heat killing people in Europe, Africa, and India, the fact that it's happening in Europe is what's mentioned the most

I'm sorry but this is just too funny not to put here (not my screenshot)

[wordswithkittywitch]

Well, someone's messed with the timeline!

[dragon-in-a-fez]

you know what really helps you locate any small paper cuts you might have forgotten you have? putting your hand in a bucket of acid. cool things I learned today

[goldenleopard34335]

Why. If I may ask. Why would you Do That

[dragon-in-a-fez]

I buy citric acid crystals in bulk and mix them with water to make a bath for cleaning aquarium equipment. and then sometimes I reach in with my bare hand to take things out because I am fundamentally the kind of person who would do that

[the-knight-was-actually-hollow]

You have. The. Dream job

[dragon-in-a-fez]

this is not my job, I just have an aquarium

[goldenleopard34335]

DO YOU HAVE FISH????

[dragon-in-a-fez]

yes that is who lives in the aquarium

[madeofclothandlove]

[dragon-in-a-fez]

I'm sorry there's no magic in this post I'm just talking. I hope good stuff happens to people online I hope good things happen to all of us

Something I really struggle to get people to understand is that like. Sometimes there was no intentional homoerotic subtext, the author was just extremely misogynistic. Sometimes the author wasn't "secretly shipping" those two men, the author literally just hates women so much that they see them as being literally incapable of relationships with depth. Like this is kind of a big thing with misogyny actually. A lot of extremely misogynistic people truly believe that a man can only have meaningful and complex relationships with other men because they literally just think women are so inferior they only exist to birth children and clean the house. It's like when people say along the lines of "no one worships exclusively men quite like straight men do". It's just that phenomenon actually. That happens to be manifesting in a raging misogynist's writing. Writing a man character who literally only puts effort into his friendships with other men while completely ignoring his literal girlfriend or wife is actually an extremely straight thing to write. And that doesn't mean you can't ship those men or that there are no stories with actual intentional homoerotic subtext. I just think it's important to be able to recognize extreme misogyny in writing and acknowledge it without brushing it off and assuming good intentions when literally all evidence is screaming that this was a misogynistic writing choice and not a representing gay men choice.
