I love any fics about her, because the fandom sleeps on her way too often

hey ace positivity is really important and relevant but this is just a friendly reminder that if your sex drive tanks *from what's normal for you* pls remember that that's a sign of depression and take it seriously even if you're ace and have a weird relationship with sex already

More stories from hell (retail) today I was ringing up this lady and she goes oh I want to do part of this on a gift card and the rest on normal card and I go ok and then she hands me a folded piece of paper. I think oh OK it must be folded around the gift card, right? Wrong. It is a folded sheet of 8×11 printer paper with "$40" written on the inside in ballpoint pen. I go what is this. She says a gift card. I say this is not a gift card. She says yes it is. I say this is a piece of paper with "$40" written on it. She says "well it's a gift card." I say it absolutely is not. I am grinding my teeth. She says well I want to use it. I say you physically cannot do that bc it is a piece of paper. I cannot scan or swipe it. I apologize, as if this is my fault, and not because she is completely insane. I hate it here

the humble "like" is oft mocked despite what it does for us. "like, three people" is a vastly different statement from "three people". "and i was like 'what the fuck'" is vastly different from "and i said 'what the fuck'". i love you "like" and anyone who says you make people sound stupid will be killed on sight

The best thing about librarians is it presents you with a cast of characters who are allowed to be constantly deeply and aggressively enthusiastic about their fields which are never what you think they are. The sickly one who looks like a kindergarten teacher looooves to solve quantum physics in her head!! Not to show off but because it’s fun!! The guy who’s always grinning and full of himself spied on MI6 and will make you sit and watch every horror movie known to man and everything he knows comes out of the Inquisitor. And he solves stuff before people because he knows that stuff. The southern brawling cowboy won’t hit anyone UNLESS they have a really stupid opinion about 16th century architecture. His eyes light up when he’s talking about symbolism and he gushes about 15th century Spanish love poetry. The beautiful lady will disarm nuclear threats with gusto, because it’s an Art.

is anyone else just like. constantly filled with rage about their position under late capitalism and how we are expected to just keep playing this game that we know will literally kill us, is already killing people all over the world, and yet everyone around us is somehow fine with going about business as usual, with pretending we are free by being able to choose between different ways of being exploited. there is nothing more dehumanising than being forced to partake in a system that is actively detrimental to our survival as human beings, that is so physically, psychologically and spiritually destructive, and i don’t know how to deal with this anger anymore

so many male characters are held back by the fact that they're not wearing earrings when they so clearly should be wearing earrings

this is assuming its on art you normally wouldn't jump to reblog. i myself only rb stuff i really really like so .

The 'rude/demanding' tone would be stuff along the lines of "if you like but don't reblog I'll [threat]" which i see surprisingly often, both serious and more silly

An autistic friend of mine just said this to me “The harder I work at communication the more people expect from me and the less they are willing to compromise.” and it is the most fucking heartbreaking thing I’ve heard.

saw a grown woman on tiktok snidely calling gen z the christopher columbus generation bc someone’s fifteen year old son ‘thought he’d discovered weezer’. newsflash every generation finds out about the music of the previous generation at some point it comes free with being fifteen. being annoying about music also comes free with being fifteen. a kid saying yeah i’ve just found this band nirvana have you ever heard of them should be a thing of joy
