The implication that Paul McCartney, for all his talents and natural skill, had the self-preservation skills of a domesticated gerbil is the funniest part of this post
the paul mccartney is dead conspiracy theory is the funniest thing in the world because i feel like if he did die and the beatles did replace him like parents replace a gold fish and the new guy managed to look exactly like him and play left handed bass, piano, and vocals in the same style and produce the same quality of music consistently for 30+ years then it'd be honestly rude to mention it at that point. like he's earned it let him have it

i wish there was an easier way to tell the difference between an "if it sucks hit da bricks" situation and a "sometimes being an adult means doing things that you dont wanna" situation

one time a professor asked me if i’d ever wanted to write anything “more important” than romance. and i said no. i was put on this earth to write about sad people kissing. and if another writer ever came up to me and said they wanted to write 400 pages containing nothing but a character baking a single loaf of bread each day, then i would tell them to do that. people don't write something because it's important. they write about something and that is what makes it important

I feel like I lived in a different world where Elliot Page came out and the entire internet exploded with pure anger and every single comment I saw was either horrendous transphobia and misgendering from one side and whining disappointment about “losing an openly queer woman” or mocking how “basic” every single decision he made about his presentation was from the other side, only for people on tumblr to claim that trans men are rewarded and celebrated for coming out. Like no the fuck they aren’t. Go into the comment section of a single transmasc teen on Instagram right now and then pay them a billion dollars in compensation.

A game with a dark and quirky fairytale vibe - not in the "Grimm versions were the originals akshually" style, or in the "what if we took the disney version and made it SiCk AnD tWiStEd?" style, but in the real old style, where dark and scary things happen sometimes, seemingly for no reason, and that's just what life is like, and sometimes the only way that there's any goodness in the world is by being good, even when it's inconvenient, not fun, or you simply really didn't want to.
And instead of princesses and monsters, the quest of the game is rescuing your stepmother from your evil dad.

It was cocky and overconfident to call the Titanic "unsinkable" but one thing that's overlooked is that she was genuinely really, unusually solid. She could float even with 4 compartments fully flooded, which even a lot of modern day ships can't do.
And it's not like they were wrong about her being solid! Olympic, her identical sister ship, survived being torpedoed and then running over the U-Boat that fired that torpedo. Those ships were solid.
It's very clear that absolutely no other ship in 1912 would have been able to survive that collision, and it's a testament to the quality of the ship that she didn't sink in a few minutes Empress of Ireland style. Part of what makes the Titanic such a tragic story is that it isn't a group of rich idiots locking themselves in a shoddy iron barrel to go 4km underwater. It was 2200 people, most of whom were poor immigrants, on a reliable ship on a commonly-made journey, and then something went horribly, unpredictably wrong.

Ngl i think the people who want to work with this fake girlboss version of Lilith should just... research other deities? Bc like. Hekate is cool. Persephone is right there. Like you have options that aren't from closed religions if you want to work a dark girlboss-y sort of deity.
Lamashtu, Melinoe, Hel, Circe, Baba Yaga, Ceto and her children... heck now, even Artemis.
If they want to go Biblical, there's Eve, Mary Magdalene, even The Whore of Fucking Babylon.
If they want demons, they're more than welcome to pick any Christian demon. There's no shortage of them.

Dictators go after the people who hold them accountable and who challege their ignorance.
The scientists. The press. The universities. The whistleblowers. The artists. The ones loyal to the Constitution. The compassionate. The empathic.
The Trump lies are only getting worse.
Your inaction in a crisis is not an option.

This stuff is insane. when will conservatives realize that there is no such thing as 'ethnically American' - that the USA is not like other countries that have ethnicities nearly directly tied to them. (We killed all the people who were ethnically tied here.) The entire point of the USA is that you can be an American and chase the American dream no matter where you came from.
Funny how this list doesn't include actual ethnic native Americans 😉
Funny how it would also... demote Donald Trump himself to a 4th class, D class citizen? (I don't think they thought that out while making this)

(And i might be a little performatively woke here 🤪 but calling your heritage 'stock' like you're a breed of cattle is fucking disgusting and reeks of eugenics 🤮 (not to mention this kind of graph may be used in the very near future to deport real, legal, born in the US Americans in every sense of the word, anytime after 1945 with both parents and grandparents born here, just because their families didnt get here "early enough" for this administration (fearmongering, i know, but how can you rule that out at this point)))

incredible. one person (scammer that tries you to commission them, runs with your money or gives you AI stuff) made a post with art they didn't make searching for work. the other person (scammer that tries to buy art from you, sends you a fake chargeback and runs with your money) tried to ask the other person for art.
we've done it. we've reached scammers trying to scam each other. dead internet is here
