i cannot emphasize enough how 5 years ago you could walk into a store and pick up the item you wanted and buy it and leave . it sounds like a fairytale now but it was true.

transphobes are on a different plane of existence than the rest of us how do you manage to come to these conclusions

???????????? genuinely how do these people think science works like do they still believe in bloodletting

I understand that most of your calls can be resolved by telling the dumbass on the other end to plug it in properly, or maybe turn something off and back on again. But I, an advanced dumbass, have already tried that and I'm afraid it's worse than either of us thought going into this.

@emsails YOU'RE RIGHT AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT

I'm convinced it was a tragedy that tumblr learned the phrase "bury your gays" at the exact same time it decided that any fictional media darker than Landlord White was pearl-clutchingly problematic. Pouring one out for every creator of earnest LGBT+ media wanting to explore the themes of grief loss and tragedy who then got subsequently hounded by mobs of terminally online users brainrotted on nothing but conflict-free coffee shop AUs.

What Bury Your Gays actually is: queer characters brought in and killed only for shock value and to further the journey of the straight protagonist

What Bury Your Gays is NOT: any story with a queer death

I have been saying for years: as a queer writer, any media I make is queer. Am I forbidden, then, from killing off any of my characters?

sorry i overreacted i had no idea everything would be fine

quiet nights at the cryptonomica

oh to be Spatula bunking down for a snowy night

Hey.

The Onion just bought ALL of info wars. Like, ALL of it. The company, including the trademark and all trademarks under it, the rights to their supplements, all of their broadcast equipment. Everything.

Alex Jones was auctioning it off as a means of paying off his $1.5B debt to the victim families of the Sandy Hook shootings, who won two separate lawsuits against him.

And the families actually chose to forego a portion of the money they'd be receiving to increase the value of the Onion's bid.

For one, this is incredibly funny. Like, what a fucking hilarious development.

But on a sociological level, I consider this a HUGE win for propaganda.

Musicals are time loops. Every night, the same thing happens except for a few minor differences. It always ends the same. If you want the characters to do something different or to make better choices, too bad. The actors are bound by the script and the score. The only way for the time loop to end is for the show to close. But you (the audience) don't want the show to close, nor do the actors who would like to be employed. It's a lose/lose situation. For the actors, audience, technicians, and for the characters, who are forever stuck in the same stretch of time.
