The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

What's your favorite piece of vintage media that's NOT a movie?

There's these old Sherlock Holmes radio plays I used to binge—I think maybe they were these ones, though I wouldn't have guessed Basil Rathbone's involvement because the show’s defining features were (1) not being very good and (2) segueing into an ad for Clippercraft Shirts every five minutes. The only story I really remember has Moriarty hiding a bomb inside a chicken at the diamond jubilee, which is cleverly foiled by Sherlock Holmes taking the chicken bomb and jumping into a lake with it. People in the 40s really knew how to write a gripping yarn.

the way you decolonise missionary work is by not doing missionary work

the way you decolonise missionaries is like this:

post: it’s ok to cut paper into shapes! you can cut paper into whatever shape you want

reblag tags: good post but i just know people are using this to justify cutting it into octagons or a scalene triangle and not the fun shapes like squares or equilateral triangles

Not gonna lie, my morale is at the lowest point it's been since the beginning of the invasion. Russians are successfully occupying more and more territories and shell frontline regions every day. People are dying, our culture and herritage is destroyed. International aid dwindled significantly because of american bullshit. Mobilization law has been signed and there is a chance that my family members get conscripted soon. Don't even get me started on internal political problems. A bunch of articles in foreign media talking about our defeat and "peace talks" (what a joke).

It feels like there were no at least moderately good news in a while. On top of that, the feeling that we are screaming into the void is stronger than ever. I'm happy when I see a foreigner online supporting us and spreading the word, because it gets rarer. Ukrainians feel like none of what's happening gets outside our info bubble. Most likely no one but Ukrainians will see this post either. Honestly don't know what to make of all of this.

“I went and got a piece of tubing from the mortuary room,” she said monotonously. “I hit the coffin. I hit the coffin repeatedly. I did so for maybe a minute. You found blood on the glass, it’s mine. I tried my fists and my feet and the butt of my sword—that plexiglass isn’t plex. Or glass.”

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.
