not looking to pick fights so I'm not rb-ing but it's not parasocial to interact with an ao3 author and to respond to what they say in author notes or comments, that's just being social

ao3 authors aren't content creators, that's a real person sans public persona just sharing a cool thing they made

Scientists shouldn't have to pretend they're bringing back the dire wolf. Geneticists should be able to say "I want to make wolves larger for no reason", and we should have the resources to say "that sounds cool as hell. Here's a billion dollars"

I saw a dead dog lying in the grass when I was young. She was an old bitch in life, but just a pup in death. I remember seeing the first flies set on her eyes. How strange it was that they looked so alive and yet did not move. That was the first moment that I wondered what this moment would feel like.

really funny that many wireless earbud cases are almost the perfect size to go on the end of a watch chain in a waistcoat pocket. hashtag modern fob ideas

what you learn from hobbies:

consistent practice opens up whole worlds of skill that you couldn't imagine

making mistakes in the process of learning is not only natural, it is also essential

activities that you enjoy can give you more energy back than you spent on them

wow everything is so expensive

good example of creators keeping their actors in the dark: michael shur not telling manny jacinto, william jackson harper, or jameela jamil the truth about the good place until right before they filmed the scene where it’s revealed, because until that moment, their characters are also completely in the dark and have no idea what’s coming. also note that schur told ted danson before LONG before this, because danson’s character DID know the truth all along, and danson had to know too so he could play the role correctly.

bad example of creators keeping their actors in the dark: the russo brothers telling the actors the characters were at a wedding instead of a funeral (which is COMPLETELY different in tone, environment, and how people act) because ~no spoilers~

I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isn’t safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.

people really seem to struggle with the idea that you can think something is dickhead behaviour and still not want it to be illegal
