“Bisexuals always end up picking a side” Yaa all those fake bisexuals meeting the love of their life and staying together forever and getting married and being happy with only one person those assholes
Florence + the Machine has three moods: float etheral and untouchable through a misty forest, twirl in a magnificent waltz of joy through the stars of the universe, or sMASH SHIT GET HIT HERE’S THE HURRICANE SUCKAS
au where the trojan war is a party menelaus throws to win back his girlfriend who left him for some douchebag and he ropes all his friends into helping him and wacky shenanigans happen and a running gag is that odysseus doesn’t even want to be there he’s got shit to do and at the end he gets stuck in traffic on the way home
on the way home odysseus gets into a very minor fender bender that’s more like a fender bumper with some shit driver who is almost DEFINITELY high. and it’s all this guy’s fault but he won’t stop screaming about how he’s gonna fucking sue and odysseus just wants to go the fuck home and the guy goes “I’M FILING THE POLICE REPORT WHO ARE YOU” and odysseus is just so done that he says “nobody” and drives the fuck off and this completely tripping guy ends up screaming to the police at the side of the road at like three in the morning “NOBODY CRASHED INTO MY CAR!!!!!”

So I’ve seen a lot of very articulate shouting about lack of LGBT+ presence in media lately (there’s a show with a ship called Clexa and…that’s not a show I watch but I feel for the fans) and I have a question. I’ve been toying with the idea of a novel that’s basically “In which a bisexual technopath and her walking taser girlfriend go out and take down a corrupt government together” and I was curious if that was something people would be interested in?
*curtsies* Mighty duke, I've been taught at school that the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet is actually a sonnet, but you recently assured that this is incorrect. Could you please explain why? I'm starting to doubt everything my teacher says
*Curtsies* First things first: There is no such thing as ‘the balcony scene.’ Calling it ‘the balcony scene’ is a misnomer because there’s no actual balcony involved. ‘Balcony’ wasn’t even really used as a word until about the 1610s; Romeo and Juliet was written in the 1590s. Romeo says “What light through yonder window breaks?” She’s at a window. Not on a fuckin’ balcony. That’s people conflating what we have of the text and what we *think* we know of early modern theatre architecture and creating a balcony where no balcony exists in the world of the play. So that’s the first problem. Second problem: Romeo and Juliet do speak a sonnet together but it’s in the scene at the Capulets’ ball when they first meet, not in the incorrectly-termed ‘balcony’ scene. (It’s Act I, Scene 5 and it starts with If I profane with my unworthiest hand if you’re looking for it.) Yes, there is a sonnet. No, there is no balcony. And there definitely isn’t a sonnet on a balcony at any point.

the funniest and best thing i’ve learned while doing research for this shakespeare project is that in the late 19th century, there was this group called the american acclimatization society and their thing was bringing european plants and animals to the u.s. so one member was this guy named eugene schieffelin and he was like obsessed with shakespeare, so he went, “hey, wouldn’t it be cool if we tracked down EVERY SPECIES OF BIRD SHAKESPEARE EVER MENTIONED and brought them ALL to America” so he rounded up like a hundred European starlings and released them in central park, and now there are upwards of 200 million starlings in North America and they cause around $1 billion worth of damage to crops every year, all because shakespeare mentioned them exactly ONCE in Henry IV part 1
And then like twenty years later, because New Yorkers apparently HADN’T LEARNED ANYTHING FROM THIS MISTAKE…
Some people decided that Stanley Park in Vancouver just wasn’t a fun enough park without some cool squirrel like those grey squirrels hanging around in Central Park, and SHIPPED US A BUNCH OF SQUIRRELS AS A PRESENT.
Which the people of Vancouver responded with ‘wow, great idea, thanks!’ and then released the squirrels.
The Eastern Grey Squirrel is now one of the most pervasive invasive species in BC, and has totally decimated the population of native red squirrels, both by out-competing them for food resources and EATING THEIR BABIES.
I wear glasses. Can I manage without glasses? Well, yes, probably. I could squint a lot, constantly move up close to anything I want to see, take the bus or a taxi if I want to go anywhere. I could just accept that I’ll never be able to see eagles flying in the sky or whales jumping out of the ocean.
But why? Why try so hard to manage life when I could just put on a pair of glasses? No one would ever suggest a near-sighted person should just work harder. No one would say ‘Maybe that’s just your normal’ to someone that needs glasses. They would say ‘Let’s go to the eye doctor and get you a prescription so you’re able to see again.’
You shouldn’t have to try so hard.

This is such a good analogy because nobody thinks about it like this. If you wear glasses, you literally need constant use of a medical aid to experience the world like most people do. If it were anything besides glasses, that would be considered a disability. But needing glasses is an extremely common, visible, and accepted form of disability to the point that we don’t even consider it one, we just accept that some people need glasses and that’s perfectly normal and there’s nothing wrong with needing to rely on them.
That is how all disabilities and illnesses should be seen, and how we should look at treatment for them. You have a problem, and you need help dealing with it, and there’s nothing wrong with either of those things. That’s perfectly normal and that’s okay.
if you give me a task with no deadline i will literally never do it but if you give me a deadline i will get it done exactly 1 hour before the deadline even if the deadline is in six years
Bernie Sanders is not out of the race. GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!
Just because the media only covers Hillary doesn’t not mean that Bernie is out.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP ON HIM.
He’s not pulling out of the race or giving up, so WE CANNOT GIVE UP ON HIM!!!
Actually, Bernie has more delegates and superdelegates (800) right now than Trump does (621). Cruz currently has 396, and the media still considers HIM to be a contender in HIS race.
Bernie is doing better than Obama was at this point in the race in 2008 :) Don’t let the corporate media make you give up! VOTE!
Does anyone else remember the time that Bryke was mad at the Avatar toyline? Because the company just kept demanding more and more ludicrous ideas for action figures? (But still refused to make female action figures.)
And one day, the company asked them to make a battle outfit for Aang.
And Bryke was just like, “…The airbenders were pacifists?”
And the toy company was like, “Just give us something!”
So Bryke literally told everyone in the studio to come up with all of these ridiculous ideas and they actually combined them all together and made this:
Needless to say the toy wasn’t passed.
I think about this a lot.
this is just the classiest and most hilarious “FUCK YOU” ever
the tidal wave of hate for halsey was one of the weirdest things i’ve ever witnessed on this site. during the time in between room 93′s release and badlands’s hype, she was admittedly less popular, but people were psyched. here was a black, bisexual, bipolar young girl who was incredibly open about her identity, who was advocating for herself and finding moderate success, and it was really cool to see.
and then people started disliking her really loudly and vehemently, and it became the Fun Cool Popular thing to do. it was so strange. when she released the wlw version of the “ghost” video there were SO many people accusing her of seeking attention, pandering for views, “acting” gay, etc. there’s been an incredible amount of racism. there have been an incredible amount of people Calling Her Out for writing about her experiences of not being neurotypical. it’s so fucking frustrating to watch and frankly she deserves better.
like, this happened less than a week ago: she admitted that she’d attempted suicide after her bipolar diagnosis, and 90% of the responses on twitter were “good,” “who stopped her,” etc. i’m so angry that this girl is only 21 and she’s being put through so much shit.
i find the idea of platonic soul mates so fucking amazing, like imagine finding someone who you feel complete with but you don’t have to worry about losing them to messy romance because they’ll be your best friend forever instead
Since I know there’s probably a fair amount of you out there who haven’t seen the first three Mad Max movies, I’m here to tell you a li’l secret about them:
All the people complaining about how Max “isn’t the main character” in Fury Road are big ol’ Fake Fanboys cause Max’s primary character trait in literally every movie is “I hate this, why is it happening, please leave me alone to brood in the desert in peace”.
He’s much more the central focus of the plot in the first movie but in Road Warrior and Thunder Dome he basically just gets kidnapped or beat up by wankers in weird bondage outfits and spends the rest of the movie trying to leave as soon as possible while other people are like “please solve our absurd post-apocalyptic problems”. There is not one single point where Max actively seeks out being a hero until it is forced upon him. He ACTIVELY TELLS PEOPLE WHO ASK HIM FOR HELP to take a hike.
Mad Max himself would like nothing better than to never, ever, ever be the main character.
He would also like for people to stop stealing his fucking car.
Nobody wants to escape his own movies more than Max Rockatansky.
He understands better than his own fanboys that his life sucks and you don’t want to be like him, to be Max is humiliating and painful. Every time he gets dragged into a conflict, he ends up worse than he started. Max seems to realize no good can come of this, and is weirdly genre-savvy because he’s always trying to make a getaway at the first signs of encroaching Plot. I find this darkly comical and endearing – at no point does he snap off witty quips and save the day and get the girl. Ever. He’s perpetually a weird desert loser with terrible luck. It’s great.
What makes Max a badass is the ability to survive to the end of any movie he’s unfortunate enough to find himself in.

Be loud, be proud, and speak up!
WE CAN’T LOSE BERNIE PLEASE FOR ALL WE KNOW THIS IS HIS LAST CHANCE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT AND HILLARY CLINTON IS NOTHING COMPARED TO HIM AND GOD BE FUCKING DAMNED IF I EVER VOTE FOR DRUMPF OR ANYONE ELSE
