I work cybersecurity, this is like half my job.

[fiddlertoad]

the whole vaccine deal tbh

[i-am-emily]

antidepressants

[wizardavid]

Yes these are all the work of wizards

the older I get, the prouder I become of younger me.

you never deserved what happened to you, you never deserved what people did to you, it was so much worse than you realized

and even though you grew up weird™️ in a nightmare you were too young to fully wrap your head around,

you still tried harder than anyone could have ever asked

to survive and to be kinder to others than the world was to you

nuclear power is impressive until you get up to why. "we use the most precisely engineered machinery ever created to split atoms to release energy" oh yeah how come? "boil water to turn a fan" get the fuck out

[darinaethelaianprophet]

The power of atom turns out to be, yet again, the power of steam

historical drama/sitcom where two gay best friends (woman and man) get lavender married--and proceed to spend the Fancy European Honeymoon their parents paid for acting as each other's wingman

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

bonus points if they're gender nonconforming/questioning. when they were "dating" they'd get dressed up then switch outfits in the taxi on the way to the gay club. now that they're married/on vacation in a new country they can wear what they want--and proceed to spend their "marriage" egging (heh, egg) each other on. he already has a glamorous collection of silk dressing gowns but she's the one who drags him out to buy a closet full of evening gowns. he tries to throw his suits out to make closet space and she steals them for her own wardrobe.

(also i think they should be a fun mixture of supportive and Cattily Judgemental about each other's dating decisions)

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

no wait wait wait. after gallivanting throughout the world making friends (with benefits) and meeting queer characters of all sorts, we get a final season where they both realize they're trans and move abroad permanently—where they each assume the other's legal identity!

oh oh oh SERIES FINALE: a joyful double wedding—wherein they lovingly divorce each other and (under their switched identities) legally marry their longterm partners

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

let's say they're americans fleeing the lavender scare by hoping a plane to europe. call that

TRANS-ATLANTIC ADVENTURES

[3000s]

people get so mad and weird about polyamory when ultimately it's always like you're just mad you can't date this polyamorous person you met because you want a monogamous relationship with them and they're dating other people

[3000s]

"there's too much polyamory in the lgbt community" = i fell for someone who's polyamorous and now i'm making it everybody elses problem

[littlecozydoodles]

this world can be exhausting at times 👎🏻

[dduane]

Yep, here we go

It won't have just tables and chairs in it for long. He's building a throne room.

(eyeroll) Welcome to Versailles à la Woolworths.

The United States — ALL of it

[bonediggercharleston]

Reminder that Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Marianas, American Samoa and the US Virgin Islands and DC don’t have actual representation in congress and only DC can vote for President even though over 5 million people live in these areas

[carolxdanvers]

They drill “no taxation without representation” into our heads like it’s why the country exists… and then omit the fact that allllllll of those people pay taxes and have no say in their government.

[isuggestlandback]

Iiiiii have an ideaaaaa

[posttexasstressdisorder]

I remember a certain commercial that aired for awhile...the dad finds a bag of weed and confronts his son about "Where did you learn about this?" and the kid speaks Truth to Power and says "From YOU...I got it from YOU!"....this!

Canceled grants get the spotlight at a Capitol Hill 'science fair'

On Tuesday, scientists held an event organized by House Democrats in which they stood in front of posters outlining their work — and the fed

[marzipanandminutiae]

I haven't seen it, but on reading the plot summary I was like "...so Lex Luthor is evil? is that what they're mad about? he's been evil since 1939!"

[calebwittebane]

daaaaaamn true why would anyone have different expectations of a nurse administering their medication as they're writhing in pain than of a drive thru employee. we might never know
