Homestuck is good, actually

I wake up every morning, look in the mirror, and say “Oh, this again?” 22, he/him, icon by @nekurothings and PLEASE don’t follow me if you don’t like homestuck, not cause I’d be mad or anything you’ll just have a bad time and I wouldn’t recommend it

All I’m saying is there’s 7.6 billions of us and only one God. We could take him out if we want to.

[charlesoberonn]

Too bad he’s so high up, we couldn’t possibly reach him.

[charlesoberonn]

Wait, I just had an idea.

It’s gonna take a lot of construction work, though.

So this seems dumb…and it is…but it’s dumb with a purpose. I can almost guarantee you the exact line of reasoning that gets NASA engineers to 100.

Ok, first of all assume the worst and assume she needs the max amount of tampons possible for all days. Now lets count it up.

7 days? Better be safe and make it 10.

3 tampons a day at worst? Better be safe and make it 5.

So that gives us 50 tampons. Ok. Double it.

And that’s how you get 100.

It’s ridiculous, but NASA has a culture of “overengineer absolutely everything to do with human safety, and then design around it” which is actually pretty cool.

[signoraviolettavalery]

Listen, I know this gets made fun of so much, but like I am a woman who has periods and I have absolutely no idea how many tampons a woman requires in a week. I use primarily pads. But these men, at the least, ASKED her instead of making unfounded assumptions.

[talvin-muircastle]

Which would you rather be:

A. The NASA Director Who Sent Too Many?

B. The NASA Director Who Didn’t Send Enough?

Also, no one at the time had any idea what, if any, effect prolonged zero gravity would have on the menstrual cycle

[linguisticparadox]

Exactly!

[dagny-hashtaggart-deactivated20]

Also, while I’m not sure how much they would’ve cost at the time, a fairly standard 100-pack of tampons these days is like $15-20. I’m going to hazard a guess that this was not NASA’s most troubling budgetary concern.

things tumblr has

xkit

multiple different post types

the ability to talk in tags w/o broadcasting your thoughts to the world or adding to op’s post

relative anonymity

a userbase that baffles advertisers

things twitter has

the same bad takes you find on tumblr but 4 years later

twitter sucks for content creators, discourse, and having conversations; the only forms of interaction it really supports are out-of-context hot takes and pithy one-liners

[dovabunny]

Things twitter has:

Female presenting nipples

i generally don’t pay a lot of attention to urls but sometimes i see people reblog from sixpence and i’m like did you guys miss the child slave discourse and the sixpence heals fiasco of 2017 bc those events are burned in my mind they’re like core memories from the movie inside out

These kinds of responses are my FAVORITE. Some examples to answers to this question I have heard:

1.

“Okay, and who’s the president?”

“Obama, no wait, shit *vehemently* fuck, I hate him… what’s his name…”

“It’s okay, you know who he is.”

2.

“Who’s the president?”

“*drunkenly angry and confused* ..uhhhhhhh…Orange… damn it what’s the fuck’s name….

“Yup, good enough.”

3.

“And who’s the president,”

“Not fuckin’ Obama!”

“I feel ya.”

4.

“Who’s the president- wait, nevermind you’re from Korea you said, right? So who’s-“

“Everybody knows that Trump-bitch.”

“Oh, well, alright then.”

5. (My personal favorite)

“Who’s the president?”

“Ew.”

“Good enough.”

My roommate is a neurologist and has to do this check all the time. Her all-time favorite so far has been “ay dios mio” during which the woman was vigorously crossing herself.

One time I got “that orange fuck” from a very cute little old lady with urosepsis

[nezumipi]

I have - quite unintentionally - contributed to this phenomenon.

I was waking up from surgery in the post-op observation room, where they kept people before sending them off to the ICU. The nurse was talking to me as I was semi-awake, telling me that as soon as it was ready, I would be sent to room 2008.

I did not hear the word “room”.

I started trying to sit up and get out of bed (entirely unsuccessfully), shouting (mumbling forcefully), “He’s not president yet! I have to warn everyone!”

[magimerlyn]

That’s awesome. Thank you for trying to warn us

Federal troops were called against 13,000 miners.Three battles that led to the biggest armed insurrection since the Civil War. 

 Ask yourself why you were never taught this in school. 

[a-method-in-it]

Although there were planes used against the miners in the Battle of Blair Mountain, it is not true that this was the first time planes were used to drop bombs on American soil against Americans. 

The Battle of Blair Mountain took place in August and September of 1921. Just a few months prior to that, on May 31 and June 1, planes were also used to help destroy the Greenwood district of Tulsa, Oklahoma, a prosperous black neighborhood nicknamed The Black Wall Street. At least 39 people died during the event, which is known as the Tulsa Race Massacre. Hundreds were wounded, and 6,000 black people lost their homes. 

Both of these events were hugely important moments in American history. 

Ask yourself why neither was taught to you in school. Also ask your local school board.
