Do you know anything about Nottingham? I was told once that it was made up for Robin Hood, which I was confused about, since I live there, but was that person actually telling the truth?
I was gonna make up a joke about it being originally called Snottingham and looked up its history and what the fuck, history. It was originally called Snottingham, named for a man called Snot.

I don’t think we’re rick rolling each other enough anymore. 1. it CANNOT die out 2. this under saturated market is perfect for unsuspecting victims who’ve been lulled into a false sense of security. be the person you hate. bring back the dastardly link
someone actually studied the falling Rick Roll rate for their Ph.D dissertation recently and published the paper
okay but this made me wonder if there was actually any academic literature on rickrolling and YES THERE IS this is a paper about rickrolling WITHIN academic literature. As in, studies that attempt to rickroll the people reading them. Best part is no one is going to believe me and click that link even though it’s 100% true.

“The SecUnit was scanning, checking for weapons on the humans in the transit station and for unauthorized comm and feed activity. I was too deep in the hotel feed for it to find me. (If I hadn’t been able to hide my feed activity from other SecUnits, I would have been spare parts a long time ago.)”
Record scratch, freeze-frame:
“Gurathin said, “With it offline, I was able to use HubSystem to get some access to its internal system and log. I wanted to explore some anomalies I’d noticed through the feed.” He gestured to me. “This unit was already a rogue. It has a hacked governor module.”
Like WHAT THE FUCK IS GURATHIN?
t*rfs also like to twist the fact that there’s little long-term medical research into transitioning (for both trans women and trans men) in order to abuse and frighten trans men into detransitioning (which, btw, often leads to the suicidal depression that dysphoria causes and transitioning alleviates!)
like that popular post about how binding even with a good binder will fuck you up for life and make it impossible to have top surgery later on? written by a crypto-t*rf who thinks trans men are lesbians
the number of replies/tags that say something like “i’ve been terrified to bind and/or thought i’d completely fucked up my chance of getting top surgery because of that post” is horrific tbh and if you cis people actually gave a single shit about trans people you’d stop circulating shit like that
So wait. What’s the truth? Will binding fuck up your chances of getting top surgery?
no, it won’t. here’s an email from my GP, who’s been working in the Fenway Health system (which focuses on LGBT healthcare and research) for over a decade:
transcription:
Binders worn too tight or for too many hours in a day can certainly cause some chronic rib/chest pain; they may even cause some scarlike thickening of the tissue under the skin - usually at the margins where the breast folds down against the chest wall in general. This can be uncomfortable, too. But none of this translates into making top surgery a problem. Not at all.
None of the surgeons I’ve sent patients to have ever remarked about this and nothing in standard practice or the general literature suggests or supports that conclusion.
Oh my god thank you
I’ve been refraining from wearing my binder because I saw that post and NOW I SHALL GET 2 MORE THANK YOU
We asked the paediatrician if it was okay for my son to start binding when he was like 11 and she said it was fine. I also thought it carried a lot of risk but apparently that’s only if it’s done in an unhealthy way
LISTEN. Crackpot theory here: JumanjiCostco is the last surviving member of the Som Novum! In episode 38, 1:59:15, he says: "I was the only survivior to the escaping singular minds to the north area of the continent", and like, at the time no one had the context to understand what that meant but NOW. WTFFF. HALP.

getting 100% confirmation of caleb being bi is obviously excellent, but hearing liam enthuse about caleb and essek's relationship being so layered due to esseks position and calebs training, calculated manipulation over physical and intellectual attraction over inherent distrust over some real ass romantic feelings..... the fascinating dynamic of using someone for your own gain and loving them in the same action, and knowing that they are using you and loving you the same way!!

Oops, I started a ridiculous challenge.
This is why it’s ridiculous, fyi:
Listen… my entire personal life is fucked… but I have written over 2000 words without using the letter ‘i’ even once… does that count for anything…
This is… I mean. Incredible. But terrifying.
You’ve written over 2000 words with no ‘it’. No ‘ing’. Oh God, no ‘ing’.
You’re a force to be reckoned with.
No ‘it’, no ‘is’, no ‘-ing’, no ‘in’, no ‘I’. I’m on 2,700 words now, and I’m… not sure how I’ve managed to do this. Dialogue is proving the biggest challenge, unsurprisingly. Why did I do this to myself?
So this is going to be like 15-20k when it’s done… um
If I finish this, I will probably count it amongst my greatest achievements.
Op you’re the most powerful person on writeblr right now
That’s good to hear because I’ve lost all semblance of control with respect to every other facet of my life, but
I’m maybe a third of the way through now?? So that’s good???? And now I’m going to have a very relaxing bath??????
I probably have about another 14,000 words to go and honestly, when I hit 10k (the expected halfway point), I’m going to treat myself to writing 100 words of something else that has the dang letter ‘i’ in it
Nearly wept when I realised I couldn’t use the word ‘frantic’ earlier, but
7.5k is my next milestone, and it actually might happen tomorrow, which is unnerving. How should I celebrate??
Getting really bad impostor syndrome today and feeling 95% sure that I will never amount to a thing and will probably never finish this story, and so in response to that dumb brain thought I did this
Suck it, subconscious.
You are a force of nature and I am both impressed and terrified.
Please publish this somewhere when you a e done so we can read it holy shit
I absolutely will!! In other news I hit 10k today and that’s without a thesaurus and oh golly, my poor think-box

I really hope the title of your story is “Team.”
“The officer who fired the fatal shots at the 16-year-old, however, was cleared of all charges by a grand jury.”

There is absolutely no justice in this. First of all why is he being tried as an adult?
basically the reasoning behind this bs is that he was an accessory to murder because he was involved in the robbery, which “caused” the officer to have to fire his gun. laiketh was offered 25 years if he plead guilty, 65 if he took it to trial. (long sentences like this are basically used to scare people into pleading guilty.) he decided to fight (because, you know, he didn’t actually shoot anyone) but he lost. it’s so sad and stupid.
“I don’t think Mr. Smith will be smiling long when he gets to prison,” District Attorney C.J. Robinson said. “We are very pleased with this sentence. Because the sentences are consecutive, it will be a long time before he comes up for even the possibility for parole, at least 20 to 25 years.” This adult is speaking with joy about sentencing a 15-year old kid to prison for the rest of his life, knowing full well the kid isn’t guilty for the crime he’s being punished for, because it was proven to be the police who murdered his friend.
there is no grain in this that isn’t the most absolute form of evil , and C.J Robinson deserves to die
This shit is infuriating. They’re out there celebrating because they ruined a black kid’s life. This is absolutely disgusting.

That’s the awesomest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
In the rewind in the broadway song “Satisfied”, you can hear Eliza singing “Helpless” in the background connecting it to the previous song. However, in the Off-Broadway version, John Laurens (the soldier in war and rumored lover of A.Ham introduced in Aaron Burr, Sir) sings “Helpless” in the rewind instead. This can be viewed as he was helpless for Hamilton as well (read the letters!) and such because he couldn’t stop the marriage of Alexander and Eliza.
DONT TOUCH ME IM NOT OKAY
Throckmorton
Your cousin Throckmorton, the skateboarder.
Apparently this is a running gag in math textbooks
Oh, no, my friend, @aceyuurikatsuki . It’s not just that. It is so much more. Settle down and let your friendly neighborhood x-ray tech explain you a thing.
Throckmorton’s Sign, otherwise known as Throckmorton’s Principle, does in fact have to do with dicks. Because it is fairly normal for a dick to show up on a hip or pelvis x-ray. But the thing about Throckmorton’s Sign is, it’s not just that the dick is visible. It is a legitimate diagnostic tool.
Let me explain: let’s say a person equipped with a penis is in a car accident and has right leg and right side hip/pelvic pain. Their doctor will order x-rays. Unfortunately, sometimes fractures are so small that they can be missed, or, because the patient is in such bad shape and the images obtained aren’t the best quality, the radiologist can’t be sure for one reason or another if what they’re seeing is actually a fracture.
So what do they do? They look for the dick.
You heard me correctly. The dick.
Throckmorton’s Sign is when “the penis points to the area of pain.” So if the above-mentioned AMAB patient’s xray aren’t displaying a clear, obvious fracture, but their dick is pointing to the right side, 9 times out of 10, the injury or fracture is on the right hip or leg area, so then the radiologist will focus on that side while reading.
Now I know what my non-radiology followers are thinking. “Ace, this sounds like bullshit. This can’t be true. You’re lying through your teeth.” But I swear to you, it is 100% accurate. I have seen a positive Throckmorton’s Sign multiple times with my own eyes over the course of the past 7 years. Ask any x-ray tech, and they will probably agree with me.
Your dick is good for at least one thing, and that thing is helping a radiologist diagnose your upper femur, hip, or pelvic fracture.
This had been a PSA.
