Well that turned a corner I was not expecting

Well then

What that mouth do (when she removes her dentures)?

trans women who can not have bottom surgery due to complications are still women. trans women who can not afford or attain bottom surgery are still women. trans women who don’t want bottom surgery are still women.

reblog this to make a terf angry

More importantly: reblog it to make a trans woman feel better

not to sound preachy but i’ve never seen anybody rebut “make a terf angry” with “make a trans woman feel better” and… that’s kind of tumblr’s attitude towards trans women summed up as concise as possible. more people should strive to be the second thing because the first is performative and lazy… thank u discourser-of-kruphix…

reblog it to make a trans woman feel better

The fact that Dante created the most popular image of the afterlife with absolutely no theological basis for it will still be the funniest thing to me

Church: Heaven is eternal connection with God, while Hell is total separation from Him. Anything else is only speculation.

Dante: Actually Hell has layers like an onion, and the devil is big and mean and also frozen. People are fighting and there’s a mountain to get to Heaven and a nice place for babies. Also I know this because I went there with my friend :)

rb this with ur opinion on this shade of pink:

This is magenta, and not pink. Unlike pink, magenta doesn’t actually exist. Our brain just invents magenta to serve as what it considers a logical bridge between red and violet, which each exist at opposite ends of a linear spectrum.

TL;DR this color is fake (and also I hate it)

Wait til you learn about Stygean Blue

Your brain is a badly-designed hot mess of bootstrapped chemistry that will tell you that all kinds of shit is happening that has no correlation to physical reality, including time travel. It just makes things up. Your brain is guessing about what’s happening when your eyes saccade, what’s happening in your blind spot, and what the majority of the visible light spectrum looks like, and you don’t know it’s happening because it doesn’t aid your survival to become aware that a lot of what you see is fake.

The human eye only has three types of color sensitive cones, which detect red, blue, and green light. Your brain is making up every other color you perceive.

Let’s have a little fun with that thought. This is the visible spectrum of light.

You will of course note that yellow is on the chart. Yellow has a discreet wavelength, and is therefore a distinct physical color. But we can’t see it.

“Sorry, what the fuck?”

What we call yellow is just what our brain shrugs and spits out when our red and green cones are equally stimulated. We have light receptors that can pick up on the physical spectrum of light we call yellow: that’s why yellow things don’t just look like moving black blocks to us. But your brain has no fucking idea what the color yellow looks like. 

Some animals have eyes that can perceive the color yellow! Goldfish have a yellow cone in their eyes. If they could talk, they could tell us what yellow looks like. But we wouldn’t be able to understand it.

What your brain actually sees of the color spectrum:

We can measure the wavelength of light, so we know that when we see ‘yellow,’ we are seeing light in that 550-ish nanometers range. But we don’t have a cone in our eyes that can pick that up. Your brain just has a very consistent guess about what color that wavelength of light could be. We decided to name that guess ‘yellow.’ We can’t imagine what yellow really looks like any more than a dog can imagine the color red.

Here’s the funny thing: your brain is never perceiving just one photon of light at a time. Something like 2*10⁸ photons per second are hitting your retina under normal conditions. Your brain doesn’t individually process all of them. So it averages them out. It grabs a bunch of photons all coming from the same direction, with the same pattern, and goes, “yeah, that cup is blue, fuck it, next.”

That’s how colors blend in our eyes. So sure, if a photon of light with a wavelength of 550 nanometers bounces into our eyes, we see what we call “yellow.” But if we see two photons at the same time, coming from the same object, one of which is 500 nms and the other of which is 600 nms, your brain will average them out and you will still see yellow even though none of the light you just saw was 550 nms.

So how does magenta factor into this?

Well, as we’ve just established, when your brain sees light from two different slices of the visible light spectrum, it will try to just average them together. Green plus red is yellow, fuck it. If it’s more red than green, we’ll call that ‘orange.’ Literally who gives a shit, we’re trying to forage over here. There are bears out here and it’s so scary.

What happens if you take the average of blue and red light, which we perceive to be magenta? What’s the centerpoint of that line?

Fucking green.

Hey, that’s not gonna work? We live on a planet where EVERYTHING IS GREEN. If something is NOT green, that means it’s either food, or a potential source of danger, and either way your brain wants you to know about it.

So your brain goes, WHOOPS. Okay - this is fine. We already made up yellow, orange, cyan, and violet. We’ll just make up another color. Something that looks really, really different from green. 

And so it made up magenta.

So, physics-wise, is magenta “real?”

No; there’s no single wavelength of light that corresponds to magenta. But you’re rarely seeing only a single wavelength of light anyway. And even when you are, every color other than RGB is a dart thrown on the wall by your meat computer. This is the CIE Chromaticity Diagram:

Explaining this thing is a little more than I want to take on on a Saturday morning, but I’ve included a link above that goes into it a little more. The point is that only the colors that actually touch the ‘outline’ of the shape actually correspond to a specific wavelength of light. All of the other colors are blends of multiple wavelengths. So magenta isn’t special.

Given that color is just a fun trick your brain is playing on you to help you find food and avoid danger, is magenta real?

Yeah, absolutely. Or at least, it’s just as real as most of what we see. It’s what we see when we mix up blue and red. It would be disastrous from a survival standpoint to perceive that color as green, so we don’t. Because it’s not green. Light that’s green has a wavelength of around 510 nm. Stuff that’s magenta bounces back light that is both ~400 and ~700. Your brain knows the difference. So it fills in the gap for you, with the best guess it has, same as it does with your blind spot.

The perception of color exists within your brain, and your brain says you see magenta. So you see magenta.

So I googled Stygian Blue and…

Yall.

FORBIDDEN.

Dear August, please play nice.

Please!!

My birth month 🙄

I dunno…I have low expectations now. But I hope August plays…alright.

Someone’s gonna add the pic of Dewey, and everyone will silently reblog in solidarity of this post aging like bad milk

Do… do you mean Stewie?

Stop getting your hopes up, I meant the youngest brother on Malcom in the Middle(Bryan Cranston’s best work) we’ll just skip ahead since we all know what’s coming

Pretty please august. I have plans I’d like to see come to fruition!

Other Things To Do To A Drunken Sailor

every single one of these fits the rhythm of the song. i sang each one of them. :D my mom’s addition was always “hit him in the face with a vick’s inhaler”

I don’t know why this is so funny, but it is. Sing it. Go on. I’ll wait.

Headcanon:

Someone modern tries to explain asexuality to Alastor, and he’s like, yeah that sounds like his experience, but he’s not sure whether he wants to embrace this label when his life kind of predated labels of any kind and he’s gone his whole existence without one, he got by pretty fine up to now with explaining his preferences to people as “not interested :) go away :)” accompanied by ominous floating red symbols.

Then whoever’s explaining to him lets slip that “asexual” is often abbreviated to “ace” and he immediately and enthusiastically latches onto the label specifically so that he can start making “ace up my sleeve” / “ace in the hole” / “aced it” / etc. puns as often as possible.

He goes around the hotel doing this for weeks before someone else familiar with modern terminology goes “HOLD ON WAIT ALASTOR ARE YOU ACE?”

Hey to everyone who liked this headcanon: I finally finished the fic I was writing that inspired me to make it.

So if you wanna see the above concept, in writing, with the addition of aro puns, hit that link.

What if there was an apocalypse but some people were really really in denial and optimistic and thinking everything will be back to normal soon?

Like they’d be foraging through the ruins of New York for supplies, shooting raiders in the face and saying “Man, this recession is really bad, huh?”

Umm….

Where's the essay?

“In one study, up to 94% of observed mounting incidents took place between two males. The proportion of same sex activities varied between 30 and 75%, and at any given time one in twenty males were engaged in non-combative necking behavior with another male. Only 1% of same-sex mounting incidents occurred between females.[78]”

i had d&d this morning and as soon as my DM logged on he went “hi everyone, Q please roll a dexterity saving throw” and i was like “oh no” and rolled a 9 and he was like “yikes! well, a skeleton hand bursts out of the plaster and grabs your shoulder” and I was like “oh no” and he was like “you hear an undead voice in your head. its chilling, creaking voice raises the hairs on the back of your neck. it whispers…….. ‘happy birthday.’ and it turns out there’s a bottle in its hand! it’s a potion of hill giant strength and it’s for you. happy birthday!” and two members of the party didn’t know that it was my actual real life birthday and there was just a long pause over discord and then one of them went “what the fuck”
