1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.
None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

Me: "hey game developers, especially AAA ones, are getting laid off en-mass and it's awful for our industry"
Gamer: "well I only play INDIE games and the problem with AAA games is they are creatively bankrupt"
Me, slamming my fists on the table like a baby: "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS IS ABOUT A BUSINESS PROBLEM PERPETUATED BY CAPITALISM NOT A STATEMENT ON CREATIVE DECISION MAKING"

but like ngl the bear (and paterson) really got me renewed my belief in love again and that's great

If neurotypicals are so good at picking up hints, why do they never seem to notice you leaning away when they try to touch you?
[Edit: From now on, anyone who wants to reply with some variation of 'they just don't care' must first donate £10 to a respected autism charity.
It's not even that you're wrong exactly, I'm just sick of seeing the same response regurgitated like it's something I can't possibly have thought of myself.]
[Edit 2: No more reblogs actually. If you screenshot this to reupload it I will break into your house and clean your toilet with your toothbrush.
Retyping it in your own words and making your own post is fine.]

we need ao3 for fanart and I am so completely serious. A universal platform not driven by any kind of professionalism or end goal, just for creating. Most important of all it needs to share the incredibly helpful and complex filing system ao3 does. this would be beneficial I think. because I want it.

Tlt fans should hold audiobook listening parties á la Rocky Horror screenings. Come in costume, recite key lines, wave lighters, bring themed snacks, throw popcorn at the device when things get campy.

if you squint a little, the bit with the kristen clone that's super slender and girly (and british-accented for some reason) is a metaphor/joke for how fandoms will misinterpret a female character to make them more palatable. even if they consider themselves progressive they're still forcing her into the box of stereotypical feminine traits that do not fit her and have basically made an entirely new character

There should be a website for aspecs that's a bit like doesthedogdie.com where it warns if a movie has sex scenes, romantic subplots, or amatonormative tropes.
