I was a big Tibbs shipper back in the day, but I don't think he's bi in the sense of being attracted to men in general. He's just a little fruity with daddy issues imho

Are they bi based on vibes?

Propaganda:

Dean Winchester vibes

I mean...

I haven't seen it but I feel like there's a 60/40 chance I can beat an old lady? Although I'd rather we just have tea

I started playing Stardew Valley in lockdown. I have not been the same since.

Feeling an incredibly weird specific nostalgia but what piece of media defined 2020 for you (as in you spent that year with it) mine is mtv's catfish

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!

(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)

Share what you got!

at a conference I attended recently, a researcher pointed to the difficulty of finding material in archives because so much depends on the metadata and the terminology used to describe things changes over time. "it would be so helpful," the researcher said, "if I typed 'lesbian' into the library of congress database, it would also show me results that were categorised in the 50s, when the materials were interpreted as 'intimate female friendships'"

which is what tag wrangles at Archive Of Our Own do incredibly effectively: searching for "omegaverse" also leads to "alpha/beta/omega dynamics" and "alternate universe: a/b/o" and so on. but ao3 achieves this frankly incredible categorisation and indexing system by the power of countless volunteers putting in hours and hours of unpaid and unthanked free time, and it's completely understandable that most archives do not have that kind of infrastructure, but also how incredible that a fan-run website has better searchability, classification, and accessibility than the library of congress

It's truly fucked up how ancient Ancient Egypt really is. Like, the New Kingdom period of Egyptian history ended in the 11th century BC, and that's the one they call the New Kingdom. King Tut's reign was one thousand years before the time of Cleopatra. The Great Pyramid of Giza was older to the Romans than the Romans are to us. Ancient Egypt is just fucked up old and it blows my mind every time I think about it.

There is a difference between experiencing anxiety and having an Anxiety Disorder

There is a difference between feeling depressed and having Depression

A lot of the internet conflates the two, and that's where this "oh everyone has that" mentality comes from.

Feeling sad or nervous are universal human emotions. Having a mental illness is not the same thing.

as soon as the internet decided depression and anxiety were the everyman mental illnesses and therefore not to be taken seriously we were all fucked tbh bc the fact that i have to feel embarrassed to admit i have debilitating anxiety because people will think im just an uwu dont call me out coward is ridiculous. its insane that i have to clarify that my depressive episodes are like life threatening and not whatever dipshit dumbed down idea of depression people seem to have like oh yeah i just wanna watch netflix and eat ice cream and not text people back. like bro i think im the devil

Reblog to give prev the power to write their fanfiction

I just saw a comment saying that authors who get 300 hits and only six kudos would assume 294 people didn't like their story, and it prompted me to make this poll to get an indication of whether that was an accurate line of reasoning or not.

This would actually be so cool. Paging John Rogers 🐶🐺🐶

Can Leverage Redemption do an episode where they take down a puppy mill? (More specifically dog alley in canton, tx)

Parker jumps out a building while carrying a puppy.

Eliot beats someone up and a dog helps him by biting the guy (he later adopts the dog)

Sophie bases her character on Cruella de Vil

It'd be great.

I also got 52

I'm not that old, honestly. I'm just a queer former Supernatural fangirl who was raised on a variety of music

Fwiw, they thought I was MANY years younger than I am. Just made me feel good all over. 😊
