It’s that time of year again so here is your yearly reminder that the world isn’t ending and people don’t hate you. The sun is just setting at 6 pm.

Uhh, hi. My name's Holly. Yeah, I know, it's so... Christmasy. But unlike the plastics in the school dance committee, I'm not exactly feeling warm and jolly about the winter formal. My boyfriend Darren dumped me like a stocking full of coal over Thanksgiving Break to go out with my ex-best friend, and my new crush is super-hottie football star Nicholas Mistletoe. He doesn't even know I'm alive, and if he did, why would he want to go out with me--the daughter of Krampus? I guess it's true what they say--holidays are Hell. *Fall Out Boy's "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out" plays*

what is there to say anymore when the occupier bombs a hospital and kills a thousand people, mostly children, who were already under seige for eleven days and you know nobody is going to stop them. now a thousand people are dead, hospitals are out of power, there is no food or water, and none of us can do anything. egyptian truck drivers are screaming at the border because they won't let them in with aid and keep sending them back. what is there to say. what is there to say. what is there to say. what is there to say.

here’s why vine was and will always be superior to tiktok you can’t really spread a lot of misinfo in 6 seconds you had to go viral on the strength of your humor and not on the allure of insane conspiracy theories or MRA talking points it’s why vines legacy will be shit like “back at it at krispy kreme” and not the downfall of democracy

must admit that the Picard writers knew how to evoke an emotional audience reaction just by showing Data's Trinkets

Seven and Shaw’s dynamic is endlessly fascinating to me

He won’t respect her name due to his Borg trauma but will not hesitate to die for her

She will call him out for being a disrespectful bigoted asshole but will not sacrifice his life

I’ve never seen two people this Angy™️ at each other but will still die for each other

It’s such a differently unique Captain and XO dynamic when compared to the other captains and first officers on the other shows

It's actually only recently that I discovered what "the exception that proves the rule" actually means, and the more I think about it, the weirder it is that for so long, I just accepted the way most people (incorrectly) (including me before now) use that phrase.

People tend to use it to basically mean, "I have a freebie to reject one (1) example that would otherwise weaken my point, and act like it actually strengthens my point." If I say, "X is always Y," and someone gives an example of a case where X is not Y, I can just nod sagely and say, "Ah, but that's the exception that proves the rule," and everyone just accepts that that's A Thing.

That... makes no sense! Being proven wrong about something being universal doesn't somehow make you more right.

And the REASON it doesn't make sense is: *That's not what 'exception that proves the rule' means.*

"The exception that proves the rule" means that if someone has gone out of their way to make an official exception to a rule, it indicates that the rule exists in the first place, even if we don't have direct evidence of the rule. This can be particularly useful in, for example, the study of history. If you unearth some ancient tablets that say, "Let it be here decreed that on festival days, men shall be permitted to approach the Temple of the Goddess without covering their heads," that's evidence that a man going to that particular temple without covering his head wouldn't normally be allowed. Maybe we haven't found the tablet yet that says that. Maybe this civilisation never even bothered to write down that you can't go to the Temple of the Goddess bare-headed, because it was so obvious to them. But the fact that the exception exists means the rule must have existed.

Britney Spears was the Dionysian feminist sexual liberation figurehead of the postmodern matrix but now the Kardashians are wearing antlers and deer paint and banging 30 men a day to represent the divine feminine spirit as a fertile earth goddess. we must return to basics but we must not postpone dance madness to another day. the re-emergence of fakirs and snake charmers and hermits brings out the corruption of idolatry (modern idol, combo album with various music stars, brands, etc) the church will give us back the real. but did anyone think we’d ever come this far so quickly. look at the change in the world look at the rapid evolution of culture by means of technology, we need to get back to the basics. and women, i’ll tell ya. we must return to the old ways when women were bestial and flame haired and bathed in the souls of poets, i’ll say.
