Hi, I’m Jana an elder millennial who’s been fangirling since before I knew what that was. I was on tumblr for a long time and then took a two year hiatus. I blog about fandom, my husband, our cat, my ADHD, and occasionally fiber arts. Staples are StarStarStar, BSG, Major Crimes, and TDBM. Current fixations are: Ted Lasso, Law & Order SVU/OC, CtM, and Downton Abbey. Header is from wendybyrde. Icon from torisvega.

i don’t know how to explain to you people that no matter what a country’s government is like i do not and will not support the US indiscriminately bombing that country’s civilians and i don’t know why that’s a controversial take tbh

A good rule of thumb for AI is "would you trust a trained pigeon to do this?"
"We trained a pigeon to recognise cancerous cell clusters and somehow they're really good at it" okay great, that's something that could plausibly be a thing.
"We trained a pigeon to recognise good CV:s and left it in charge of sorting through all our job applications" uh perhaps consider not doing that.

as a severely mentally ill 14 year old, I remember thinking “the medical system would treat me better if I was physically ill and not mentally ill” and then I coincidentally developed multiple chronic illnesses and found out that actually they dgaf even when you’re essentially bedridden

thinking about how haymitch is so fundamentally dad coded that he had kids flocking to him at 16 and was the only person who a traumatized girl could find comfort in at 42

“Haymitch calling Maysilee his sister was so forced” guys, that boy had one look at Proserpina and Vitus and said they were his friends. he couldn’t look at a small kid and and not say was his allies. he saw a damn rabbit MUTT and called it his partner…i think he calling his recently made best friend his sis, when she remind him of the baby sisters he lost and who’s constantly talking about her twin and saying she would be Ampert’s sister if he wanted, was actually pretty valid. The boy was sentimental, and dramatic, and was absolutely losing it. Leave him alone to label whoever he want with whatever he want, please :(

The fact that animals that care for their young will sometimes adopt others' lost or orphaned young to raise along their own is just funny to me. I know that it's all hormonal and there's no conscious thought involved in it, but the internal logic of it is so funny.
"Baby = success. More baby = more success. I have one baby and I found four other baby. I have five baby. I am being so fucking successful right now."

Suzanne really said with sotr that-
by the way Haymitch has a really great memory!! like a really great memory!! like he remembers 49 other tributes names with ease! isn’t that a wonderful aspect to add to this deeply traumatised character who has watched two children (alongside 22 others) die every single year for 23 years in the same circumstances that he was put in at 16 years old?! he remembers everything! like, everything!

Honestly, if you're a kid and an adult tells you "they're just trying to get a reaction out of you :)" as a response to being told that some younger kid is tormenting you, that should count as full permission to punt that little shit. Like I would never hit a child, but if you're seven years old and a five-year-old is being a cunt at you and adults just tell you "oh they just want to find out what happens if they keep doing that", wouldn't only be fair to let them know what happens if they keep doing that?
Siblings should never be left responsible of raising each other, but if adults have decided that they are allowed to fuck around, wouldn't it only be your right - or even downright duty - to let them consequently find out?

thesis about dr who companion categorisation. non-exhaustive (obviously would need a much bigger chart to fit everyone). surprising number of companions whose consent status is kind of ambiguous.
im a fan of the lower right quadrangle where no-one wanted this.
