Some Podcasts as Welcome to Night Vale Quotes

Because I can. These are just the ones I could find quotes for, or that I’m subscribed to, so I may post an updated version later.

The Magnus Archives: There’s no cause for concern. We’re way past that now. If you’re not feeling mild terror then you haven’t been paying attention

The Penumbra Podcast (Junoverse): It is the good and the bad. It is the sound of the world. A world that will kill you, but also a world that will allow you to live

Wolf 359: I come to you live from under my desk, where I dragged my microphone and am currently hiding in the fetal position.

Archive 81: *static* *rising tones* *abrupt end of episode*

Eos 10: The Night Vale Medical Board announced today that they can’t help you. Not if you’re gonna keep screaming like that! They also asked that you clean up a bit before you come in. They don’t want to get sick!

Death by Dying: Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you

Stellar Firma: We have nothing to fear except ourselves. We are unholy, awful people. Fear ourselves with silence. Look down, look down, and forget what you’ve done.

Brimstone Valley Mall: There’s a special place in Hell. It’s really hip. Very exclusive.

Ars PARADOXICA: Time is weird. So is space. I hope ours match again someday

The Amelia Project: if you see something, say nothing and drink (cocoa) to forget

Startripper!!: Space tip: bring a sweater

The Orbiting Human Circus (of the air): I’m a single issue voter. If the candidate is not a baby polar bear, I straight up cannot vote for them.

got any cursed facts about falcons?? 🥺👉👈

compared to hawks, falcons have shorter and weaker talons and shorter beaks! this, combined with a lighter overall build, means that falconkind is really badly unsuited to do the hawk/eagle/owl thing where they just plunge out of the sky and stab a rabbit to death with their feet.

so what they do instead is fly really high in the air, keeping an eye out for unwary birds they could get the drop on, and then they DROP. and as they drop, they curl their talon into a fist, which they use to strike their unwary prey at speeds well in excess of a hundred miles per hour. (this either stuns or outright kills the unlucky target) 

and this method works so well that they can even take down birds much larger than themselves, like ducks!

so basically,

FALCON

Good morning to everyone who is going to troll an oil company today 😇

[madeleinejubileesaito]

The goal of bullying Big Oil companies over their climate tweets isn’t just to educate people about corporate hypocrisy. It’s to unite activists around the goal of taking away their social license to operate.

Oil majors have admitted to investors that their business would be in deep trouble without broad public support. They’ve also admitted the biggest threat to maintaining social license is public anger over climate change.

Oil companies could remedy this threat by winding down their fossil fuel operations, and investing heavily in renewable energy. But for the most part, they’ve chosen to combat public anger over climate change by investing in strategic communication.This consistent choice of empty climate words over meaningful climate action is why several Shell executives quit the company this week—and it’s why Heglar says social media call-outs are increasingly powerful.

– from this excellent article about why greentrolling is fun but also actually very effective: Drag them.The climate case for calling out fossil fuel companies online

seeing all the 14-17 y/o queer kids who don’t know what v for vendetta is…. u mean the blockbuster film written by two trans women about a masked vigilante who decides to singlehandedly take down a fascist alternate version of england set in the distant year of 2020… and his driving force was getting justice for a lesbian who he never met but whose diary he found, who was separated from her wife before being killed by said fascist gov…. and it stars natalie portman…. okay

[mckitterick]

the movie is great, with amazing acting:

and the original graphic novel is phenomenal:

I highly recommend them both

and they’ve never been more relevant

[digitaldiscipline]

“People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.”

[lectorel]

There’s strong subtext that V is a trans man and A)the lesbian from the diary or B)her wife.

I JUST FOUND A GAY KIDS BOOK ABOUT A PRINCE AND KNIGHT IN LOVE AND IM,,, OBLITERATED

[laskulls-deactivated20250318]

MY JAW IS ON THE FLOOR

[neoyi]

I bought this book and it’s super, duper cute!

[shiraglassman]

speaking of mlm princes!

[otakusapien]

The author co-wrote another book called Maiden & Princess!!

[rae-elizas]

This is also a wonderfully queer children’s book. Spoiler: the prince comes out at the end as trans

[officialmossman-deletedsept9202]

I will be buying ALL of these for my little cousins 6th birthday

[paterklatter]

Another really cute one, by Katie O'Neill one of my favorite childrens graphic novel authors

[autumngracy]

Just fyi, the Prince in The Prince and the Dressmaker actually comes out more as genderqueer than trans, exactly. Here’s an exerpt from an interview with the author:

Orsini: By the end of the story, Prince Sebastian seems to still be splitting his time between dresses and menswear. What does this say about his gender identity?

Wang: To me, Sebastian is someone who identifies with different modes of gender expression and is comfortable alternating between both masculine and feminine. Genderqueer is probably the best descriptor. But I’m also open to readers’ interpretations of how they see the character. If a reader feels that this story is just the first step to Sebastian discovering they’re trans, or if they feel Sebastian is a cis male that likes to dress up I’m happy with all of that!

[mayeshaj]

Happy Pride! 🌈🏳️‍🌈

[dudeboyyyy]

IM CRYING I CANT BELIEVE THESE EXIST IM SO HAPPY

[jaekae879]

I thought that style looked familiar! Jen Wang also made a comic book called “In Real Life” it’s a good comic of a girl in a gaming world finding a Chinese person that is illegally selling valuable items in the game because he’s poor irl. I love the style and the story, so seeing another comic she made. Hell yeah I’m buying!

@pookie-pie-12 look at the first image and you’ll get it

third time's the charm

[seongpinkhwa]

reminder that biden wants to:

raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour

scrap past marijuana convictions

make college free for two years

increase the pay for teachers, particularly in underfunded schools

significantly increase taxes on the rich (both direct wealth taxes along with additional taxes on major corporations)

have universal background checks for firearm purchases

get us back into the paris agreement in order to switch to clean energy by 2035 (and his plan has been outlined already and the first few steps have been specified)

end the cocaine sentencing disparity (as it is deeply racist)

abolish the death penalty

support a government mandated 12 weeks of paid family leave for workers

eliminate private prisons

this man fully acknowledges the science behind climate change (unlike trump), wants to work to fix certain racist elements in american society (unlike trump), supports the lower and middle classes (unlike trump), is willing to put his money where his mouth is (unlike trump), and isn’t a full on fascist that ignores the global pandemic and takes the side of neo-nazis and white supremacists (unlike trump). biden is miles better than trump. is he the ideal candidate? no, but he is willing to work towards making the USA a more progressive place and that is the first step we need to take. vote blue.

good parents dont hit their children. good parents dont touch their children inappropriately. good parents dont scream at their children. good parents dont manipulate their children. good parents dont imprison their children at home. good parents dont threaten their children. good parents dont starve their children. good parents dont harass their children.

good parents do not abuse their children.

[all-da-fandoms]

in case you don’t know weather to reblog this:

[aninactivebloggfgfgf]

This makes me realize several uncomfortable things about my childhood.

[drakes-hoard]

Wait the screaming thing isn’t a normal thing?

[honey-sunny-bee]

Apparently not

[icecoldparadise]

Omg my poor babies, as a CHAD major let me lay it out for you.

Occasional “im human and im frustrated” yelling happens. Those are usually followed by apologies and genuine effort not to do that again.

But if your parent/guardian is always SCREAMING at you, especially as a way to control or make you feel inferior (insults, threats, things they know make you subdue and guilty) THIS IS EMOTIONAL ABUSE. if they are purposely contorting your emotions as a method to control that is abuse.

If someone hits, kicks, slaps, or beats you (not just a gentle nonsexual spank on the butt) THIS IS PHYSICAL ABUSE, ESPECIALLY IF IT LEAVES A BRUISE, CUT ABRAISION, ETC.

If adults are making you dance in a manner to be sexual, do sexual things, or watch sexual things inappropriate for your age THIS IS SEXUAL ABUSE. it is not always touching your/someone else’s private areas (which is ALSO abuse.)

If your parent or guardian is depriving you of things that are essential for life (food, water, shelter, weather appropriate clothes, hygiene, medical) and it is not just a “we are literally too broke to get these things but im really trying ” THIS IS NEGLECT AND IS ABUSE.

Talk to a teacher or trusted adult. Anyone in a human service setting (educators, administration, health, etc) especially those in a child/ adolescent arena are MANDATED REPORTERS: they MUST tell CPS there is a problem. If you are in immediate danger be explicit: they will call 911 to keep you safe.

This is SO fucking important please be safe my peeps.

[g3t-th1s]

wait so it isn’t normal for my mum to not take me to my doctor’s appointments as a punishment? huh.

[all-hail-trash-prince]

Please be safe fam

[spookyseinaka-remade-deactivate]

ah-

[one-sexy-fucking-toucan-deserte]

Rebloging this again for all the new followers I’ve gained!

[gryffinite-gremlinlord]

Also the thing with my mom she tells me not to tell anyone about home life.

[okujo-deactivated20210225]

I believe this only works if you live in Arizona (correct me if I’m wrong) but please spread so people can email the senator to stop this

[foxhounders-deactivated20160813]

my friend left her window open in her bedroom and came back to find this

look at his self-satisfied little face, the cheeky shit

motherfucking australia

[kyla-hunt-blog]

if there was a post to describe australia, this is it

[soloontherocks-moving-refol-blog]

wait. 

you mean to tell me this isn’t even a pet bird?

that in australia, you have wild birds that just fly from house to house with the express purpose of fucking shit up?

fucking HELL australia, what is wrong with you?

[aryeastark]

wake up australia 

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

That’s what birds do

They fly around and fuck shit up

Do you have some kind of mysterious nice birds in your weird foreign country

Do birds in America and England fly into your house and make the bed and tidy up the living room a little bit

[crispybiscuitfinger]

It’s cold here, so they just bounce off the windows and lie there and twitch spasmodically while you look for the shovel.

[happyvegetable]

Basically hurling themselves at windows is the worst thing birds do

[cryforce]

yeah man a kookaburra literally flew into a classroom at my high school and just sat his smug ass down on top of the desk for a good 20 minutes

[millshouse-deactivated20140425]

why has nobody mentioned the fact that in australia there are 3-4 months a year where everybody just accepts that they’re going to get attacked by magpies. It is literally called “swooping season” and these birds will fly down to peck your fucking face, and people get their eyes ripped out and shit, it’s fucking brutal.

[sociopathicitaliangrandmas-deac]

My teacher had to go to hospital and have surgery because of swooping season. It was in the parking lot of school and all the kids would do a mad dash towards the car as the magpies tried to kill us.

[casey-jane-lewis]

no but when you’re 12 years old and riding your bike like mad on the way home from school with an icecream bucket on your head with like branches and shit sticking out if it to scare them off and none of this is considered strange

[theacademyish-deactivated201708]

what the actual fuck australia 

[priscellie]

I am pretty sure all of these Australia stories are a massive, globally-spanning trolling effort, and only the people who have visited the country are allowed to be in on the joke.

[seananmcguire]

Nope.

Went there.

Parrots tried to take our car.

Came home IN A FUCKING HURRY.

[elidyce]

Interesting thing about magpies - they’re not great at identifying individual humans visually, but if you make yourself identifiable in some way they’re usually open to reason. We used to have some very aggressive swoopers in our back yard - as soon as they realised that the humans *inside* the fence never bothered them and were the source of the delicious compost heap, they turned into flying black and white guard dogs who would viciously assault any passing stranger but never bothered anyone inside the yard. Several times they swooped at us when we approached from outside, then when we walked into the yard they would pull up and act incredibly apologetic like sorry ma’am I had no idea it was you I would never please don’t stop stocking the food pile.

There was another little group of magpies in the park who would attack any solo pedestrian but never bothered anyone walking a dog or pushing a pram, because apparently those were identifiable traits indicating a non-threatening human. In the spirit of inquiry, I started going out of my way to be polite to the magpies - carefully walking a wide arc around them when they were on the ground, etc - and emitting an identifiable call of ‘hello birdie’ before swooping season started. 

I spent the next ten years crossing that park at least once a day and as long as I turned at the first flutter of wings and said ‘hello birdie’ to the magpie waiting to attack as soon as my back was turned, I was fine. Every time, the magpie would stare at me for a minute and then fly off to harass some other pedestrian because apparently the magpies and I, we were cool. 

Parrots are a lot less open to negotiation, and the little bastards travel in flocks. Beware the parrots. 

[brillbell-blog]

What the fuck

[themyskira]

We have cockatoos that go on destructive rampages, chewing on weatherboards, decks and timber fittings; damaging sporting grounds, ravaging crops, uprooting seedlings and killing mature trees.

We have choughs that kidnap fledgeling birds and recruit them to help care for their own chicks.

We have terrifying dinosaur-birds that are capable of kicking a human being to death.

I don’t know why everyone’s always going on about Australia’s snakes and spiders like they’re such a big thing. It’s our birds that are the real badasses.

If you're wondering why stan twitter is cancelling Ansel Elgort (the actor playing Augustus from the The Fault In Our Stars movie) then I insist you to have a look at this post.

tw// sexual assault

Her story with Ansel Elgort

Don't you fucking try to protect him because "he's your fave". She suffered, okay? She was 17. Respect her bravery.
